#2 L'Oreal Volume Shocking

Despite two big downsides to the packaging of this product--it's shaped like a boxcutter and has two steps (with wands on either end of the tube) this mascara creates an almost false eyelash look that amazed us. The first step is a white lengthening paste that is followed by an eyelash comb with dark mascara. If you're not careful, you can end up with clumpy lashes but if you apply correctly you will have long, thick, dark, glamorous lashes. Price: $12.99

Look: creates an almost false eyelash; long, thick, dark, glamorous

Wand: two wands on opposite ends

Packaging: awkward shape that impedes easy use
