No7 Extreme Length Waterproof Mascara
"No7 produce some great mascaras and this one is no exception. Although it doesn't give the thickest, most voluminous lashes, it does define and separate each one to give you a gorgeous flutter. After wearing it out in the scorching sun I had no sweaty smudges and neither did it budge in a light rain shower later that same day - British weather, huh? However, it came off easily with a good cream cleanser and didn't leave a residue to streak down my face the next morning in the shower. A reliable waterproof mascara for sure."
