What you said: "I fell in love with how full my lashes were at first, but the more I used it the clumpier the formula got. It smeared by the end of the day and flaked all over my cheek. The formula also clumped up on the brush, making me having to wipe it clean all the time." -- makeupjunkie13, TotalBeauty.com member

The Stiletto mascara is a joke and a waste of money. False advertising. I haven't tried all of these products, but at least now I know what not to try.

I've used a few of these and completely agree with these opinions.

The only mascara i have tried is the stilleto one. and I completely agree its awful its smells super weird and its like i dont want to walk around smelling that all day. It really didnt do anythink for my lashes either my favorite by far is falsies.

Lancôme is the mascara Queen. I don't think they have a bad one. I've tried to save money and use drug store brands, but there is no contest - I'm always right. Back to Lancôme. There products are worth EVERY penny!

I haven't tried any of these!Thank God! I have had my share of bad mascaras, there is so many out there.

The only one of these I've ever tried was the Revlon 3D. From what I can remember it didn't do much for my lashes and flaked like crazy! I'm pretty happy with the current mascara I use but I'll make sure to avoid all of these if my fav ever gets discontinued and I have to search from something new!

YAY! I haven't tried any of these. I don't normally buy drugstore products & I always do my research before purchasing a mascara. My faves: Buxom, Dior, UD, Too Faced & Givenchy. I haven't bought mascara in a while. I'm trying to use up samples I have gotten to see if there is a better product out there.

The only one I've tried from these is the Lash Stiletto and I agree- it is garbage. I got it free when purchasing another mascara. Now I understand why they were giving it away free!! ;) A mascara that didn't make the list that I absolutely HATE is Maybelline's Define-A-Lash mascara. The brush is HORRIBLE. It bends too easy, is coarse and painful to use, and barely picks up any mascara. The mascara ends up flaky and looks bad. My favorite mascara at the moment is actually Victoria's Secret Triple Drama Mascara. I am in LOVE with it. It makes my lashes look so much longer and it does NOT clump at all. I've never been so happy with a mascara before. :)
