I've gone from L'Oreal super-pricey stuff to Wet'n'Wild with equal dissatisfaction.
I haven't tried department-store cosmetic department stuff, though, because I'm never sure where to start. Clinique? MAC? I have no idea.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Jen, is there a Sephora you can get to? Because they'd find you the perfect mascara in a heartbeat.
Bobbi Brown mascara sucks. I don't know anyone who loves Clinique, I've never tried MAC.
I usually go for lengthening, so not sure about thickening. I didn't love Clarins mascara; I've heard good things about Chanel and Shiseido.
Shiseido was the worst mascara I ever used.
MAC varies. Some is good, some sucks.
I bought Bobbi Brown's waterproof for an outdoor wedding. It was AWFUL. Thick and sticky and clumpy.
You know the best thing I did for my lashes for serious?
I bought a package of "disposable" brushes off eBay. I just wash and reuse them, and I ALWAYS have a clean brush, no clumps, and no need to waste mascara by swiping off the excess. I just transfer from the original OEM brush to the one I'm using. Makes me so happy.
Jen, I have a love/hate relationship with mascara. I can't go without because my lashes are too light but I hate the thick, clumpy feeling I get from most brands. Personally, I like Aveda's Mosscara.
My neighbor is in the hospital in labor. I'm way more excited for her than I expected to be.

I tend to use Almay non-flaking mascara because if I'm wearing mascara, I'm wearing my contacts--dunno that it's that special for how my lashes look, but after using some kind of Maybelline one time and feeling like I had little tiny bits of mascara in my eyes (and irritating my contacts) all night, I was sold.
