No. 10: Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Plumping Treatment, $6.99

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5*
Why: One reader says, "I thought I'd try out a budget lip enhancing gloss, but I guess you get what you pay for! The gloss felt almost sticky on my lips, and it was difficult to get an application that looked even … the goopiness on my lips was more noticeable than the plumping. I would much rather wear a regular gloss that felt nice on my lips than a plumping gloss that gives then the texture of sticky gummy bears." Another reviewer says, "a sensation you get from a lip gloss deceives you into thinking your lips are about to be similar to Angelina Jolie's pout. Sally Hansen can't do it nor can many lip products out there, but this one particularly was ineffective and wasn't even long lasting." A woman asks "wrong name?" And goes on to say, "I think Sally Hansen chose the wrong name for this product. I used this product and did not see or feel any lip inflation or plumping."

Hate Maybelline mascaras. This is the only brand that straightens my lashes, even when I curl them!!!

I agree with the comment about the Stilleto brand, I absolutely hate the eyeliner too.... terrible applicator, terrible consistency.... runs everywhere. Just hate the whole line.
