5. Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara …
a.k.a. “A revolutionary new mascara designed to grip at lashes starting at the roots”
Expert’s Opinion:
“I was extremely skeptical about succumbing to the allures of the ball applicator, but I’m pretty impressed. While I’ve had a lot of luck finding mascaras that give amazing length, none have ever given me much in the way of volume, so to find one that literally does everything (plus has a cool applicator) is pretty amazing!”
- shares Jen, A Beautiful Sentiment Expert
Description:
This revolutionary new mascara is made in such a way that your lashes will be gripped from the roots to the tips. The round sphere may look odd, but it does work ‘phenomenally’ in separating and curling your lashes.
Our Opinion:
Based on the price and the beautifully fanned out panoramic effect – the Givenchy Phenom’ Eyes Mascara is a superbly good buy. I personally think that no other mascara in the market, no matter how odd-shaped the sphere is – can produce the unique and dazzling effect that will just bring out the beauty of your eyes, whatever its shape and size. It’s definitely one of the best among all the mascaras out there!
Usual Complaints:
- takes too much time to apply
- is prone to clumping
- does not work too well on shorter lashes
- expensive price
Best Price: $27.00 at Sephora
4. Lancome Fatale Mascara …
a.k.a. “Mascara that boosts spectacular performance”
Lancome’s Fatale is recognized as the best mascara by professional make-up artists.
Experts’ Opinion:
“…Fatale built up my lashes like nothing I’d ever used before. They were thick, lush, and very, very black, without that Tammy Faye look. Fatale has lasted through entire humid days… I am in love!”
- says the celebrity blogger Beauty Addict
“…if it’s length you’re after, it’s all about Fatale… Girls, this mascara is so potent, so dramatically lengthening, that your lashes will seem to touch your brows…”
- says the celebrity blogger Tia Williams from Shake Your Beauty
Description:
Patented 3D Comb gives exceptional filling power. From the first application Super coating formula with Filtex delivers a fine, strong mesh on lash to plump it up. The Plump Wax Complex leaves lashes perfectly coated & maintains fluid texture. A single stroke creates absolute volume to sculpt & plump lashes. Lancome Fatale enhances a glamorous look of your eyes for all day long.
Our Opinion:
What you should know is that it will take you some time to get used to this 3D comb, but after you do – there is nothing like Fatale! :) It’s been called the best mascara for years now. If you never tried it, you definitely should! Every word in the description of this top mascara is true.
Usual Complaints:
- high price
Best Price: $21.00 on Amazon.com
omg i luv this mascara, the best i’ve ever used.
Chici, which one are you talking about? :)
Hi Olga,
Other then Chanel, what other mascara would you suggest at a lower price..Thank you *smiles*
Hi Arlene,
I would recommend you try L’Oreal Panoramic Curl Mascara – it’s my favorite among affordable mascaras. But if you get a chance (have a Birthday coming or some other celebration that calls for a nice gift), ask for Chanel Inimitable, you’ll love it!
If L’Oreal doesn’t work for you, you might want to try some of the mascaras from 51 Best Mascaras for Every Budget list.
Good luck, Gorgeous!

It may sound very cheap but Miss Sporty’s waterproof and curved mascaras are very good. The brush on both are very standard but surprisingly good. The mascara doesn’t clump and is very smooth – a tip from maybelline is that you wash the wand sometimes and if u always stand it up.
It’s only £2.99 and worth it, you could use it as a base and then use lancome mascara. They are some of the best, not diorshow!
Hope it helps.

Thanks for sharing that Hannah! I’m sure our readers will appreciate that. I know I do! :)
Should I buy the givenchy one?
Hannah,
The Givenchy one looks fabulous to me! I say yes!
Hi Olga! Fatale and Hypnose are among the mascaras that I use almost daily. I even like to combine them, I apply 1 layer of Fatale and after another 1 or 2 layers of Hypnose. For a more natural look I like to use Lancome Definicils during the day. I can’t imagine how I can use Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara :) Must be a real technique :)
Great Mascare Reviews!!
But I only believe in Rimmel: Volume Flash Mousse Mascara & Maybelline Volum’ Express® Washable Mascara, they really do miracles!!
At least for me! :)
The givenchy mascara absolutely scares me. I thought it was a dream I had but it’s actually real!
Ha Ha Amy, It scares you?! :D
I really love to use mascara but I don’t care what type
Hey Mystery,
I love mascaras too! But they have to work for me or else they’re going down the gutter :p
I love all maskaras that are Volume up!
um personally Lash blast mascara is my favorite!!! BUT, THat mascara that vibrates when you put it on, i personally dont like it, but people tell me it makes my eye lashes look gorgeous, black, thick and full, and long! Everybody tells me i am gorgeous like a supermodel, and say that the vibrating mascara just enhances my beauty! But, im not so sure about that vibrating mascara, i like Lash Blast by Covergirl the best!!!!!
Hey Taylor,
Thanks for sharing that. Covergirl has some of the best, most affordable stuff! :)
SO FAR THE BEST MASCARA THAT I HAVE HAD THE BEST LUCK WOULD BE THE LOREAL TELESCOPIC (CARBON BLACK)
Hey Whetne,
Thanks for sharing that! Loreal makes some great, affordable stuff :)
WHETNE,
L’Oreal stuff is amazing for everyone’s pocket! :)
I never had a problem with mascara staying on until about 5 years ago. I am sixty years old now. Has my body chemistry changed because of menopause? I have tried several different mascaras (waterproof and regular), but all I have tried have smudged and not stayed on my lashes.
Got any suggestions?
