Milani sounds great. I like that it's dual action like Bifacil. Will have to try that one too! I buy my Bifacil when they have the Free Gift offers. I don't really like any of the other Lancome products though so I'll give the freebies to my MIL. My cle de peau lasts forever but I always lose it! ugh. So lucky you don't have to wear makeup every day. I look like death if I don't at least put on some tinted moisturized and blush. And of course my mascara! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1114021 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:11:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1114021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: geekinheels recommended the milani brand:</p> <p><a href="http://www.geekinheels.com/2013/06/25/three-new-product-raves.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.geekinheels.com/2013/06/25/three-new-product-raves.html</a></p> <p>bifacils is just so expensive! and my cle de peau lasts forever since i wear makeup like once or twice a month. i like it the best out of other popular brands like ysl, bobbi brown, laura mercier that i've tried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1114009 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:05:32 +0000 banana 1114009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Trying this one too!!

I'm going to try that now! Bifacil is so pricey!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I wear mascara almost every day so it doesn't last me that long. :( But this is the only brand that works well for me. I'm going to try the Neutrogena one that Mrs. Wagon suggested though! I know you also use Cle de Peau concealer (I've been using that forever!). Trying to find one that works just as well but cheaper. Still looking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1114004 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:04:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 1114004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Have you tried the Sonia Kashuk eye makeup remover (sold at Target)? It's right around $10 for a good sized container that lasts for-ev-er and it's pretty great! Two cotton rounds, hold over each eye for 10-20 seconds, and everything comes off with minimal tugging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1114001 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:04:01 +0000 mrs. wagon 1114001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: yep I think I have 2 new tubes waiting because I hate when they dry out so quick.

As with a lot of waterproof mascaras, the tubes dry out quickly so I end up buying a bunch of them when they have BOGO sales. I haven't tried Stilletto so maybe I"ll try that one, too! Lash blast didn't work for me. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113997 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:00:38 +0000 mrs. wagon 1113997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: have you tried the neutrogena makeup remover wipes? they take off my waterproof mascara! It takes a bit of gentle scrubbing but I so prefer that to the eye makeup remover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113996 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 14:00:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1113996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: i've been using it for over a decade! yep pricey, but i so rarely wear makeup that it lasts me forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113993 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:59:43 +0000 mrs. wagon 1113993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: twinsies again. My lashes aren't super short but they are STICK straight and point straight down. I curl them every day even if it's the weekend and I'm not wearing mascara because otherwise they obscure my vision!! I have tried many many many many drugstore mascaras and most of them straighten my lashes the second the liquid touches them, even waterproof ones. My history of successes (as the companies have discontinued these, argh!!) has been: L'oreal Le Grand Curl, then Maybelline Sky High Curves, then for a while I was floating around until I finally found Maybelline Lash Stilletto. I'm happy with it but not super happy... can't wait to try the Falsies one! I think I have a coupon too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113992 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:59:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1113992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: i agree. i tried lashblast because so many people rave about it, and i've tried many, many others.... but i always go back to voluminous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113976 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:54:31 +0000 autumnlove 1113976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybelline Full N Soft in waterproof is my favorite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113974 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:53:27 +0000 banana 1113974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Oh I would love to just use soap and water too!

Expensive but SO worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113927 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:42:21 +0000 wahine08 1113927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CoverGirl Lash Blast for me, as well! Love it! The H20 proof is REALLY hard to get off but works awesome if you have smeary eyelash problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113925 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:41:37 +0000 MsLipGloss 1113925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I bet you would love Maybelline Full N Soft! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-drugstore-mascara#post-1113919 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 13:40:21 +0000 banana 1113919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: TRY IT and let me know what you think! I've tried 5 other ones and this one worked the best for me. My eyelashes are short and straight and all of the other mascaras didn't work. Make sure you buy the waterproof one! Do you curl your lashes? I curl mine and this one actually will hold it!</p> <p>ETA: It doesn't really make your lashes longer. It makes them thicker and holds a curl (which is what I want). Just in case you expected super long lashes with this. It does make them a little longer but not dramatically. </p>
