No. 8: N.Y.C. New York Color Liquid Lip Shine Lipgloss, $2.59 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 4.6*
Why: "Sticky, thick, ugly and lasts two seconds. Need I say more?" Apparently, she felt compelled as the reader went on to add, "I'm a lip gloss junkie so naturally I want to try each and every single one out there. This particular lip gloss, however, was very sticky and felt disgusting on my lips. It literally made my lips feel as though they were suffocating. As soon as I put it on, I couldn't wait to get it off." Another reader says, "a dollar or three would seem like an appealing price for a lip gloss doesn't it? With this New York Color lip gloss, it's hardly even worth a quarter." One woman had an exceptionally horrid experience saying, "the gloss was everything bad you can imagine: sticky, chunky and smelly. And with the couple of times I used it, I got acne where the gloss touched the skin!"

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.
