CODE FFLCODE Beautiful have created FFL (Forget Fake Lashes), a pre-mascara lash plumper that separates and lengthens lashes with its "lash-perfecting formula" which coats the lashes to maximise on length and volume, while creating the perfect base for your mascara.

You apply a layer of mascara on top of CODE FFL to create instant lash extension effects. Plus, the conditioning, paraben-free formula will keep your lashes supple and won’t itch, smudge or flake. 

Worth a try to give your lashes a boost.

Invogue's eyelashSerum promises to give the appearance of thicker, fuller looking lashes. It is simple to apply. Let the first coat dry before applying a second for maximum effect. 

I liked the way this mascara separated the lashes and looked good with no clumping or smudging.

Both the eyelashSerum and the  below contain Capixyl which is said to help prevent lashes dropping out and to promote regrowth. Regular use will also condition your lashes.

Mega Lash 3 in 1Invogue's Mega Lash 3 in 1 Lash Serum Mascara – I liked wearing this mascara which again should stimutlate and enhance the appearance of lashes. However I did not manage to achieve the look on the packaging which certainly looked as though the model was wearing false eyelashes.

Easy to apply with no clogging. A good mascara which coats the lashes to give definition and a good frame for the eye.

Both Invogue mascaras are available from ASDA for £9.99.

Silk's Argan Fibre Lash Mascara Kit is my favourite. It really does produce the wow effect. The kit comes in a case which contains one Argan Oil Defining Mascara (black) and one Mascara Fibre. For best results complete one eye at a time (and this will also show you a real before and after effect). Apply mascara and before it dries, tilt head forward and apply Mascara Fibre from mid-lash to tip. Reapply Mascara to seal fibres. 

For a really dramatic effect reapply both as before. Not suitable for contact lens wearers.

This really does what it says on the tin and has my vote. 

Silk's Argan Fibre Lash Mascara Kit is available from Silk Oil of Morocco at £29.95.
