No. 11: L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara, $7.49

Why: "Say goodbye to itty-bitty-barely-there lashes" with this mascara, say readers. "L'Oreal certainly did an [apt] job when naming this mascara 'voluminous.' The thick brush applicator does a great job of separating the lashes and giving great definition," says one reader while another claims, "it is the best mascara I have ever used -- even when compared to department store brands. I am a mascara addict. I keep tubes of this in my car, my bathroom, my fiance's house and his truck, one in my backpack and in my purse -- I am totally addicted to it and for a good reason. It makes my lashes look amazing. I get asked daily if I'm wearing fake lashes."

There are some of these I have not tried but putting them on my list now. there was a different one by rimmel I have been coming across lately, can't quite remember the name at the moment but the one mentioned here was a no go.
