What: Angela’s lashes put Rimmel Lycra Lash Extender mascara to the test.

The Lowdown: I’ve tried enough mascaras to know that promises were meant to be broken, so it was with great skepticism that I swept this product, which offers “60% more length and 50% more curve,” onto my own stubby, spare lashes. While I didn’t have a tape measure handy, and my math skills are a bit fuzzy first thing in the a.m., I have to admit, they did look longer and, well, curvier. My favorite part? Absolutely no clumping, and no flaking either.

Yea or Nay: Definite yea, especially for the budget-friendly price.

Buy it: @ Walgreens.com, Drugstore.com or in your local drugstore beauty aisle.
