No. 16: Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara, $6.94 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.9*
Why: Readers say, "I know hate is a strong word but ... I hate this mascara! The brush was too thin, the mascara smelled bad and it didn't do anything for my lashes except give it clumps." Another reader who is Asian with short, straight eyelashes says, "this mascara did not work for me. When I applied Maybelline's Stiletto mascara, the curl that I got from the Shu Uemura eyelash curler was gone!" One reader was disappointed saying, "the mascara is nothing like the commercial says it is." Another says, "I found the consistency just awful, which I should have taken as an omen that the product would not wear well, which it did not. The mascara wore off about half-way through my day [and] the raccoon circles under my eyes were definitely not the effect I was looking for."

Maybelline's "Stiletto" and Rimmel's concealer and duo eyeshadows are pretty awful.

I haven't tried any of these, but I won't now. I'm glad I've so far had good luck with drugstore products.

I have the stiletto mascara and the Rimmel eyeshadows (different shade than pictured), and don't have any problems with them. Never tried the others.
