No. 3: Rimmel London Colour Rush Duo Eyeshadow, $4.29 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 3.2*
Why: "This stuff doesn't blend or glide over the lid. Boo-hiss," says one reader. Another says, "you get what you pay for! I wanted to try some new colors, but didn't want to pay over $10 or drive all the way to Sephora, so I bought this product. I found it to be chalky and difficult to apply and almost impossible to blend. My search for a good inexpensive eyeshadow continues." One woman adds, "this one is a no-no for me!! I bought this because I was attracted to how vibrant the colors seemed to look, well, I should've just headed the other direction because what a total waste of money. It's chalky, so chalky." This eyeshadow gave one reviewer an allergic reaction. She says, "I will never ever ever buy Rimmel ever again. I bought this eyeshadow about a year ago and it was itching my eyelid and made my eye swell up. It was so embarrassing I had to go to work looking like that, I gave it another try a few weeks later and had the same reaction. Something is terribly wrong with their formula."

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.
