Why it's great: "Putting on mascara feels so special now!" readers say. They love "the light scent of roses," and call it "a lovely change from the usual chemical smell of other brands." Aside from the rose, readers say "this mascara gives my pale, skimpy lashes length, definition and fullness." Plus, "this mascara saved my lashes, they quit breaking and started growing back in," one reader says.

Here's my take on some of these items: Bare Escentuals Buxom is clumpy. Tarte makes very little improvement, for a no lash/no mascara look. NYC & Loreal are cheaply made with no results. Lancome is disappointing, and Sephora mascaras just don't deliver. Diorshow Iconic is better than regular Diorshow, but the formula was changed about 2 years ago. :(

I was going to buy a new tube of L'oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes which is my current favorite but I may try one of these instead.

Love mascara! Especially now that the tips of my eye lashes have started turning blonde for some reason. My favorite kinds are dark black with big, fluffy brushes!

I tried many mascaras, but right now I am in love with Lash Blast from Cover Girl. It is the best.
