No. 17: Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash Mascara, $18
TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 9*
Why it's great: One reader raves: "You want those thick, feathery, movie star-quality flutters like you see in magazines, well, this stuff delivers! Inside the box you will find cool directions on how to wing out the edges of your lashes, and it works!" One reason why it works so well: the "hourglass brush makes a big difference," readers say and the "formula allows you to build to your heart's content without getting all clumpy." One reader says, "Everyone always asks me where I get my lashes done … and then look at me skeptically when I tell them … they're all mine. This mascara lengthens your lashes and does not irritate your eyes. And best of all … no tarantula eyes!"

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.
