I've tried the Maybelline Lash Stiletto and I completely agree...my lashes were so clumped it looked like I has three gigantic lashes.

I'm glad to say that I do not own any of these. Nothing gets me more irritated then when I spend my hard earned money on products that don't work!

Add to this disappointing mix Stila's "Stay All Day Waterproof Volumizing Mascara." There is little volume and a great deal of flaking.

good article. haven't tried all of these but now I won't.

what a waste of money some of these are! I have recently been wearing Smashbox Full Exposure and I love it however I usually stick to my tried and true Maybelline with the pink bottle and green lid.

I agree with the Revlon 3d which is now discontinued. It clumped and was impossible to take off (even the washable version!)

I liked the stiletto mascara.

by yestfl Friday, February 1, 2013 at 10:14AM Report as inappropriate

Mascara has to be replaced every two or three months right? I think the worse mascara I tried was smashbox one, I forgot the name but it just clumped my lashes.

I've never happened to try any of these...I must say, most of Revlon's mascara brushes are really weird.

by mosh Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 09:22PM Report as inappropriate

I tried drugstore brands, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Laura mercier, Smashbox, Stila, Urban Decay and still couldn't find the one. I am a contact lense wearer, whatever I try, it irritates my etes.

The lash stilleto flaked off in the middle of my night, looked like I got punched in the eye by a big bouncer

I like a mascara that comes with a small brush the mascara goes on easier and you can get every lash

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 DON'T USE MASCARA BUT MY GIRLS DO. I HAVE BOUGHT THEM THE ASTONISHING LENGTHS BUT I WON'T AGAIN.

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

by WhiteXRoses88 Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 05:29PM Report as inappropriate

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.

by nikki_glorioso Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 10:46PM Report as inappropriate

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!

by Cheryl5752 Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 08:07PM Report as inappropriate

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

by lisiana_de_bem_justino Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 08:06PM Report as inappropriate

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!

by Signalflare66 Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 05:40PM Report as inappropriate

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.

by DTalksAll Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 02:58PM Report as inappropriate

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. :)

ha..glad i havent bought any of these yet, and dont plan to!

by olkrav319 Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 12:57AM Report as inappropriate

I agree with the ones here that I have tried. It can be difficult to find a good one and cost isnt always a predictor, could be $5 or $25. I like WOW by Lise Watier cost $20, it lasts longer than any others I have tried as well. I tend to throw out after only 6-8 weeks regardless but thisa 1 works well longer, a Canadian Co. Once again a Smashbox product found to be less than great. I wonder how they can sell their products at their prices it seems like any I have tried are no good and they are always mid price at least

by mum21 Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 05:07PM Report as inappropriate

I sooo agree with these picks and the Revlon Double twist is definitely the worst mascara ever!! Horrible!

by Nicole1021 Friday, March 23, 2012 at 06:47PM Report as inappropriate

I was amazed by how many "higher end" brands made this list. I always thought the higher price meant better product. A big thanks to all you ladies who pioneered those treacherous waters to spare the rest of us!!

by fallintrust Friday, March 16, 2012 at 10:46PM Report as inappropriate

I hate every mousse mascara that they come out with..

by eatinglipstick Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 01:16PM Report as inappropriate

I think the worst one ive come across is marcelle which i think is around 13=15$. I am picky and price doesnt tell the story. As it is the most replaced item in my makeup I dont like to spend too much whereas I dont mind paying more for most products if they are good. If you can actually use up a product it is amazing. I just threw out 3 mascaraqs including 2 from your list thanks!! it is great to have these articles as the makeup game is a gamble. Usually higher end products are guaranteed at least can return if not good, usually dont have to. Canadian brand Lise Watier top marks!

by mum21 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 10:03PM Report as inappropriate

I love mascara but hate it when you come across one that stinks! So thank you so much for posting this =)

Thank you for this article. I almost purchase the revlon mascaras that were featured on the list.

by Sari Friday, March 2, 2012 at 11:23PM Report as inappropriate

I'm actually surprised that Lash Stiletto made it on this list because it is usually my go-to mascara it leaved my lashes really long and full (my lashes have a tendency to clump) and my mums really long (she has really short really thin lashes) and it doesn't smell at all

by tripunia345 Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 08:12AM Report as inappropriate

I'm surprised Lash Stiletto is even on here it has worked perfectly for me (and I have really thick long lashes that tend to clump) and my mom (whom barely has any lashes)

by tripunia345 Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 08:04AM Report as inappropriate

Revlon Fabulash really is terrible.

I have debated on trying a few of these and I am SOOO GLAD that I read this before I did. My two favorites I have been using now are the Rimmel Day to Night mascara and my good old standby; Great Lash mascara in the pink and green tube! My mom has always used it since I can remember and I have too. Ive got my daughter wearing it now.

Hmmmm. I've used the Lash Stilletto, and I think it was okay. It was one of the few that a made a repeat purchase of , and that's a big deal for me because its rare I'll buy the same mascara twice. I've never tried any of the others and now I know that I won't. lol

I've tried the elf one and it's really not good at all. I probably wouldn't try any of the other ones. Seems like Avon and Revlon make some pretty bad mascaras.

by MissXu Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 07:16PM Report as inappropriate

I disagree! I really like the Last Stiletto! I'm very surprised! I usually use another mascara first and then the last stiletto and I've even gotten several compliments when wearing it!

by msbrown822 Thursday, December 9, 2010 at 10:41AM Report as inappropriate

I have to agree on this one...Avon's Daring Definition Mascara just isn't one of the better ones I've tried from Avon. Now Avon's Super Shock mascara is much better. I love this one! It makes my skimpy lashes look long & full with only 2 coats! But if all else fails, I can always rely on "old faithful"...which is Maybelline's Great Lash! I used this mascara when I was younger & still like it to this day!

by onyxx65 Thursday, December 9, 2010 at 06:12AM Report as inappropriate

Smashbox Bionic is horrible, but they also forgot Clinique's Lash Power. That stuff is really bad. I'd recommend Dior Exstase. It's way better!

I love mascara! But Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous (in the red tube but looks just like this) probably has to be my favorite. It adds amazing length to my eyelashes. There is very little clumping. Each lash is clump-free, thick, and long. I love it.

by soccerluver1515 Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 07:01PM Report as inappropriate

I love the new exact eyelights too! I mix it up between that and the new stiletto mascara (never clumps individually coats my lashes) I love it!

by cocopebbles Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 10:04AM Report as inappropriate

I love Cover Girls New ExactEyelights. I'm blonde haired and blue eyed and use the Black Sapphire. I use a coat of the regular eyelights and 2 coats of the waterproof eyelights. This does not clump, nor does it run or smear---even after a 20 hour duty day. I'm a flight attendant and it stays on and doesn't smudge even after I take a nap on long international flights! It also curls your lashes nicely, without using an eyelash curler. by tjflying

Lash Stylist by Maybelline is the best .The comb allows you to get a the base and each lash is thick but sepaerated and they look awesome. BEST!!! replace monthly to avoid dryness or clumpiness!

I have personally had great luck with loreal mascara. Long lasting, little to no flaking/smudging and it holds up well in the tube. Been using it for years.
