Seeing over the Counter Mascara Suggestions

Hello moms! I was hoping to get some recommendations on your favorite over the counter mascaras. I've used Clinique mascara forever but it was so expensive that I switched to Kirkland’s (Costco's) brand for a while but I'm just not loving it. I am overwhelmed by all of the choices at the drug store so any suggestions would be great. I generally wear brown mascara and my eyelashes are medium in length on top but pretty short on the bottom. I had issues in the past with mascara’s running on me that’s why I loved the one I was using at Clinique. I’m not a huge fan of waterproof mascara so I’d really like to find something that isn’t waterproof but that holds up pretty well. I'd love to hear from you! Thanks in advance!

What can I do next?

I had always been true to Lancome mascara...but when I bought my teens the Cover Girl mascara in the orange tube...I also loved it.

My favorite is Great Lash by Maybelline, it is very inexpensive, I like it much better then the expensive brands. It's def worth a try for 3 or 4 bucks!

I love the Cover Girl one in the orange tube, I think it's called lash blast. It's a little on the pricey side for a regular brand (I think around $8) but it works really well and the tube lasts quite a while too.

I keep thinking of you, because I also love Clinique mascara. I always wear it, but have never actually paid for it. I have a few things from Clinique that I don't mind buying (foundation, moisturizer and cover up - OTC stuff no longer works with my aging skin) but I only buy during bonus time - that usually includes a mascara and I get my lipstick and blush that way as well. I've even got backups. Check their website for the next "Bonus Days".

Though not at the drug store, Mac has great mascara and it isn't too expensive (less than $10/tube I believe) I love Zoom Lash and I also really like the Fiber Rich!
