I thought this may be an interesting topic to review, that way it give us all shared suggestions and ideas to try something new! (any excuse to spend more money!!  )
I use Christian Dior eye colour (i cant remember the shades off the top of my head, but they are the pinky colour duo)
I also use 2 mascaras, Loreal lash architect (really looks like fake eye lashes!  ) and max factor classic black mascara for general day time use

Hi,
I am constantly searching for new eyeshadows and colors so would love to hear what everyone else recommends. I have used MAC in the past and did like their shadows!
I have to say I switched over to Estee Lauder's Definicils mascara and absolutely love it. It was a bit more expensive but worth it. It goes on great and does not clump for long lashes!

I also like Loreal Architect, it does work very well and it's inexpensive, one coat of it gives a very natural look, no clumps, long lasting  , I have also tried Max Factor's 2000 Calories (sth like that, dont remember the exact name), it gives a very dramatic look that I occaionally like, it's too much for everyday wear but can be a good choice when you want sth more dramatic as it says..both are good for their prices.
Some more expensive ones I have tried before included Elizabeth Arden and MAC, I did like the one from EA, it's the best I have ever used, but I didnt like the MAC one, the formulation was too wet for me, it didnt dry out at all on my lash, gave me a racoon eyes 
I am not into mascara at all  , I know a lot of gals swear by it and have this as a must-wear daily make up .. but for me, I just dont like to wear a mascara, wearing it does open my eyes and make my eyes appear larger, but just personally dont like to wear it .. weird, so, that's why I tend to look for drugstore ones.. inexpensive and does its job well enough for me |

vanilla sugar

| I have used Kiss Me Mascara for years. It is the only non-waterprooof mascara that I know of that stays on, doesn't flake and comes off with water. Recently, I have also started using Maybelline Sky High Curves in Waterproof and really like this also. |

Roopdh - do you mean the stick thing? I believe those are Smudgesicles, though I'm not sure if they are still being sold. They might have been discontinued, I haven't seen them lately.
In the full size version they actually come in a silver tube, similar to the lippies.

| My fav e/s are from MAC. The higher ends have good staying power and usually good colour selection. As for mascara, I am loving Maybellines Full n'Soft in Very Black as well as Benefits Bad Gal Lash on top. |

Eye shadow faves: I love Stila, Trish McEvoy, and MAC for their eye shadow pots. Also, I am a huge fan of Prescriptives Eyelights and Shu Uemura Eye shimmers for when i'm really lazy and just want to smudge a little colour on with my fingers
Mascara faves: Maybelline Great Lash in blackest black, the La Prairie one that comes in a long silver tube and has a curved wand, MAC Pro Lash. |

wondering if there is there any mascara that is excellent in giving volume & length to eyelashes that gives you a natural look (nothing too dramatic  ) but ALSO doesnt' come off so much???..
coz when i put mascara on.. i tend to get even more noticeable panda eyes  making me look even more tired from my already EXTREMELY visible dark circles. 
is there such a mascara? |

Clarins makes a mascara "top coat" (called "Fix Mascara") that makes any mascara waterproof. However, you should be able to find a good waterproof mascara that does the trick. I like Maybelline Full&Soft and they do make a waterproof version (which I haven't tried). I tend to stay away from waterproof mascaras because I believe they are damaging to the lashes. My fave is the Clarins Pure Curl but I wouldn't recommend that one to someone that has problems with mascara smudging/flaking.

Hi all,
My favorite eyeshadows are made by Chantecaille. Their Shine eye shadows give an extremely fine shimmer that is the best I have ever seen.
Dr Hauschka's mascara remains to be my favorite for its naturalness and ease of removal. Also it comes with a very plush, but firm brush. One hardly needs a lash comb. It seems to be very similar to Kiss Me Mascara described earlier by skybaby. (Perhaps EDS will carry Hauschka's cosmetics soon???) |

Mascara: Anna Sui Long and Volume. I never found a mascara like that no panda eyes. Very long and volume.
Eyeshadow: KP and Anna Sui. Easy to apply and longlasting. Their color are very pretty. |
