Covergirl's Lash Exact Mascara is the best brand I have ever used. It's cheap, you can find it at your local drugstore, and the results are fantastic!! I have fine, skimpy eyelashes, and this mascara made me look like I had long, luscious lashes. The biggest plus about this product is that I didn't get ANY of the clumps I normally get while using other brands. If you can live without a waterproof mascara, I guarantee you'll like it!!
