I'm wondering if you ladies buy more drug store priced mascaras or go for the more expensive (sephora, mac) type mascaras?? Is it worth it to spend $25+ for a mascara in your opinion?? What are your favourites?!

My favorite currently is the Maybelline Lash Stiletto. However, I've dabbled in both, and had hits and misses with both.

I love Armani's Eyes to Kill mascara. I think it's definitely worth it to spend more to get exactly what you want.

There are good ones for both. Right now I'm using benefit they're real and love it. I've also used maybelline the falsies and revlon lash potion and liked those as well.

I don't feel it's worth it. Mascara gets changed out often. My go to is Maybelline great lash but I've used others. I do like to save the wands from some of the ones I like.

My opinion: No. I see high end makeup as an investment. Mascara isn't a really good investment (especially if you're a falsies kind of girl like me and only need it coat the lashes.) Also drug store mascara tend to do the same thing and there isn't much longevity there. 3 months and it's a wrap. I don't think I ever used a full tube of mascara ever.You could spend that money on something else and get more bang for your buck

I've purchased both high end & low end mascara. Some were hits & some were misses on both sides. I've recently been more into my drugstore mascara (L'oreal Telescopic) than my higher end mascaras. I don't mind spending a hefty amount for a mascara that actually works it's not about the price or the brand for me personally.

It depends because mascara needs to be replaced often/formulas are similar so you'd be better off with drugstore.

My fave now is Younique 3d mascara. it's buildable for dramatic length with green tea fibers. its $29 for a two month supply but... I am also forever in love with Loreal telescopic!!

Good question! I have oily lids so I find that most drug store (and even high end) mascaras tend to fall down under my eyes after a while..but when I use some like Dior show or Marc Jacobs mascara that doesn't occur...so unfortunately I have to spend a lot :(

I buy everything drugstore because I don't see the point in buying high end stuff!
Besides I'd rather waste my money on drugstore makeup than spend lots of money on bad high end makeup!

I use the Loreal Telescopic as well and love it. But I'm with Symone on this one. I'd rather spend my money on something else that I can get more out of.

Maybelline One by One, Covergirl LashBlast are amazing drugstore mascaras.

I have tried a lot of high end and have found none were worth the extra money. I like Maybelline the Falsies. Lash Stiletto is second favorite.

I've found hits at both price points but I find myself favoring drugstore. Loreal Voluminous and Benefit They're Real.

It depends what you like, I watched this thing on different Mascaras and they said whatever floats your boat. Currently, I'm coming off Sephora and into Mayballine and I seriously see no difference.

I've only found 2 high end mascaras that I think are worth the price...Too faced Better then sex and tartes lights camera lashes. I usually pitches these when they are in a sampler pack with other products.

Honestly it depends on you! I personally think the maybelline mascaras are just as good as some high end ones. for a high end I totally recommend they're real by benefit :)

I use the sephora brand. All I do is one stroke of my lashes and they look so long and thick. It's expensive, but if it works for you it's worth it.

Honestly I don't even buy mascara anymore. There is almost always a promo on sephora for a deluxe sample one and I just use a code to get a new one when ever I am ordering.
