What's the best mascara that I can buy from boots, today?
DP's mum gave me a £25 voucher for boots for my bday yesterday and I want to use it to get some decent mascara but I'm fed up with being disappointed everytime I buy one

lancome supposed to be good

YSL good according to comnsumer tests

Personally I like MIss Sporty from superdrug for £2.99.

Really like the No 7 lengthening one - goes on very finely, no clumping

I like the ones with the white primer at the end. Maybelline and Boujois do nice ones, no where near £25 tho!

MY friend had a lovely one when we went out a few wks ago. It was Clarins, but i dont know which one, im presuming theres a few! Think red tube, thin brush, her lashes looked lovely.

I had a Boots No17 one because I was in a rush and wanted brownish black and it was the only one in our little boots. Best mascara I've ever had (and I've had lancome, maybelline, clarins, estee lauder!)

YSL came top on How to Look Good Naked - I always use Chanel or NARS - they really are the best!

Arghh, there isnt a consensus like I was hoping
Don't worry carmen I won't be spending £25 on one mascara! Don't think she had a clue what to buy me bless her, I normally have clothes shop vouchers for my bday, but as I'm hugely pg this time I thin she was trying to be tactful

Spend the voucher on something for the baby and then go and spend 25 quid on eyeslipsface.com and you will get makeup galore!

Agree YSL Faux Cils is lovely - probably use up most of your voucher and not all Boots have YSL.

For a cheaper option Max Factor masterpiece mascara is excellent.

The boujois one with the white end and black end is really good...

Diorshow is fab but I'm not sure Boots stock it. The Stay Perfect (No 7) is really good and about a tenner.

I think miss sporty mascara is great for the money!

Max factor masterpiece mascara is fab, I use the waterproof one and wouldn't be without.

I like the M,aybelline one with the green bendy brush - completely forgotten what it's called... and the one with the green and pink packaging...

Ok, looking for the ones with the most answers it seems to be either max factor masterpiece or YSL depending on whether boots stock it and how much I want to spend.

I had a Mavala one once for contact lens wearers/sensitive eyes...non waterproof, very nice conditioning mascara, not all dry and cloggy.
