No. 11: Almay One Coat Nourishing Lengthening Mascara, $5.99

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 8.5*
Why it's great: Readers say, "this mascara makes [lashes] look full and beautiful." "This NEVER clumped, did lengthen my lashes a bit, did NOT flake (even after I purposely rubbed my eyes a little), and is hypoallergenic," one reader says. Another adds, "The bristles on the wand are numerous and close together so it lifts and separates every eyelash."

The Lash accelerator from Rimmel is fantastic. It has been my fave for about 6 months. I love it.

My Mom and I used Loreal mascara, but they've changed, it's not as good as it used to. Now I like Almay or Revlon.

I've been a sephora convert for a couple of years now, but I'm trying to save up money, so I'm gonna give a few of these a go.
