No. 9: Rimmel London Recover Concealer, $5.50 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 4.6*
Why: One woman says she "bought this concealer thinking it would be amazing, but I was definitely wrong. It did not cover my blemishes at all. It slid right off and settled on the side of the pimple." Another reader says "ick," adding "this is NOT a good concealer. It is streaky and disappears after only an hour or even less. I am usually a huge fan of Rimmel being very cost effective and a very good product, but I won't be using this again." Another reviewer says, "it cakes on me, no matter how lightly I used it, then in a matter of half an hour, it vanishes. So, I thought I'd try it on my spider veins... same result. Having been a user of Rimmel over the years, I expected better. It's now lying at the bottom of my makeup bag, never to be used again! Waste of money and time."

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.
