No. 12: Rimmel London Lycra Lash Extender Mascara, $7.29

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 8.4*
Why: Readers call it the "best mascara I've tried in ages," and a "fab find for the $$." One reader explains, "I have found with a lot of mascaras that say they add length, it only lasts for an hour or two. However, Rimmel London Lycra Lash Extender Mascara lasts all day!" Another says, "I have thinning lashes and this is the only mascara I've found that evens the score. This mascara gets every tiny lash then lengthens it, plumps it and darkens it until both eyes are equal." And as a plus, readers say there are "no clumps or flakes. Best mascara -- lashes down."
