No. 1: Physicians Formula Retro Glow Ultra-Dramatic Mascara, $6.95 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 2.6*
Why: Readers seem to have gotten duped on the packaging of this mascara saying, "I loved the packaging, [which is] the main reason why I bought it. Well, it sucks. It is flakey, clumpy, irritating, just a complete mess and waste of money." Another agrees saying, "How adorable is this packaging? Cute as a button, but if you buy this mascara, that's all you're buying. Within an hour of applying, this mascara runs, smudges, and flakes like you would not believe." One says it "didn't do much to make my lashes look any thicker or longer." And another says the product "was a bit clumpy and thick. It gave me the dreaded 'spider legs effect' I hate so much."

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.
