'My three favourite mascaras are all now under £10 so I'll be stocking up'

Mascara is one make-up product that I'm never without, and in recent years I've discovered that you don't need to spend a fortune to find a great one; some of my long-time favourites and ones I rebuy again and again are from the high street.

Yet even mascaras from brands such as L'Oréal Paris, Maybelline and Max Factor usually have an RRP of around the £13-£15 mark – so when I spotted that three of my favourites were all reduced to less than £10 as part of Amazon's big Spring Deal Days sale, I couldn't resist adding them all to my basket. In fact, buying all three still comes to less than one of my favourite 'high end' mascara.

Here are the three mascaras I'll be stocking up on while the sale lasts...

Best mascara for length L'Oréal Paris Paradise Big Deal Mascara Was £13.99, now £9.53 – save 32%

This is L'Oréal's newest mascara, and it was love at first swipe for me – it's as near to my perfect mascara as I've ever found.

I prefer a spiky, silicone brush over a bristly one – which this one has, in a sort of concave shape – as I find them much better for getting right down to the lash roots and separating my unruly lashes, which often grow in unwanted directions.

It makes my lashes looked lengthened and defined from root to tip. Catching sight of my eyes in the mirror afterwards, I honestly think it looks like I'm wearing false lashes after applying this mascara. I find that one coat is actually enough for me, but it does layer up brilliantly, with no clumping.

Best mascara for lift and volume Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High in Cosmic Black Was £12.99, now £7.45 – save 43%

Hearing people rave about Maybelline Sky High Mascara is nothing new, and while the original is great if you like a natural look (and currently also reduced), it's specifically this Cosmic Black version that I repurchase again and again.

My eyelashes are long (thanks to this lash serum) but the downside to this is that most mascaras aren't strong enough to hoick them up, then keep them up all day. This one, however, does exactly that while also amping up the volume, and giving standout definition and brow-skimming length. It's also the most smudge-proof mascara I've ever used.

Best mascara for definition L'Oréal Paris Panorama Mascara Was £12.99, now £8.10 – save 38%

With a multi-size silicone brush that reaches every lash and a flexible formula to really stretch them up and out, this mascara makes the eyes look 1.4 times bigger, according to L'Oréal.

I found that it ticked all the boxes: it gives great volume and length and coats every millimetre of every lash, and keeps the hairs lifted and locked in place all day long without flaking or smudging. I've also seen lots of other beauty experts praise this little high street wonder too.

Elsewhere, you'll find the No7 Define & Enhance Mascara – which I think is quite for a natural look – down from £15.95 to £14.35 at Boots. And for a luxury buy, the popular Yves Saint Laurent Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara is down to £24 from £30 on Lookfantastic right now.
