If you stop by a Target store, they have a display in the cosmetic section that has new Maybelline Color Tattoo shades. Behind those 4 new Limited Edition Tattoo shades are also 4 new Maybelline COLORED mascaras! A blue, purple, teal, and green! Under $5! I grabbed the purple one today and can't wait to try it! Just wanted to suggest a cheaper, drugstore colored mascara for you ladies to try. As much as I wanted to try a colored mascara, I didn't want to pay big money for a mascara I won't reach for as often as a black or brown everyday color. Now I also have a Benefit lipgloss/mascara combo called Prrrowl. It has the coolest iridescent pink lipgloss that is gorgeous as a layering gloss for a fabulous night-out lip. And on the other end an AH-Mazing blue topcoat mascara! Very nice combo!! Just a little pricey for me to repurchase often as it runs $28 (if I remember correctly).

I actually bought that last week in the blue color! It's not very bright but I like it a lot because in the sunlight/bright light my eyelashes are noticeably blue tinted and for five bucks that's enough for me! If you want the runway look you probably won't like it but for a toned down version it is actually pretty good. The formula is a little finicky, I had to brush it through with a clean spoolie to get it to look good but in the end I was quite satisfied.

I like Blue mascara when you don't want that heavy dark black made up eye look. Did you find they did more volume or definition??? Whenever I get a fresh tube, I have to let it dry up a bit or it goes all over the place for almost all brands of mascara. For me, the aging is a must...

Pixie you always have a good eye out for those DS products and I listen up when you praise them. I am still loving my L'Oreal cream eyeshadows and the Maybelline color tattoo ones too. Maybelline has some hella good mascara anyway so I am stoked to get some with wild colors. I love green mascara, maybe I am weird?

The formula was kind of blah. It added length but it was kind of runny? (not sure exactly how to describe it but it made the lashes stick together even though there wasn't much product on the brush) I think Great Lash is a pretty bad formula at all and it doesn't deserve all the awards. It's all about the color with this one! Once I brushed it out it was looking good

I just realized that this sounds really contradictory but I do honestly like it. lol

I like how Maybelline sometimes has BOGO too. I can work with a mascara and don't mind a comb thru if the final product is worth my time. Dior makes the best colored mascara I have to say though, although they are not cheap.

I think this Archie collection will be very appealing with all the pink and purple stuff. I am so stoked for new pigments! (At least I hope they will be new, we need that color story ASAFP)

I like the colored ones from them. I do brush through when I am done, but I always do that anyway. I like them for "tipping" lashes a different color only on the ends.

Two of those colors look really close to the Shop and Drop quad.



I agree! I´ve got Shop & Drop, but I think I will buy this quad anyway.

Can I join in? I have been stalking Specktra long enough! Time to finally join.

I look forward to this collection as I liked Betty and Veronica as a kid and that pink lipstick was really pretty.



Welcome, sweetie! ^^

Does anyone know of any waterproof coloured mascaras? From any company? I love blues, purples and burgundies but I can only wear waterproof mascara because I tear up crazily whenever I laugh or get excited, and I'm usually pretty excited or amused so.....

I´m pretty sure IsaDora got a waterproof vivid blue mascara. And Make Up Store got a waterproof, clear mascara. It´s a sealer, you can wear it over another coloured mascara. Make Up Store got some interesting colours on their mascaras; light blue, hot pink, turquoise...
