Best Mascaras of 2011
Mascara is a girl's best friend, so we're taking a moment to look back on 2011 and see which mascaras got your highest marks (and ours).
We start with the runners-up:
The Under-$10 category was definitely the most hotly contested. Runner-up shout-outs go to:
#1 - Maybelline New York Colossal Volum' Express
#2 - Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto
#3 - L'Oréal Paris Voluminous
#4 - Maybelline New York Great Lash
#5 - Maybelline New York "The Falsies"
As impressive as accessibly-priced drugstore mascaras have become, sometimes a little splurge is in order. The top-rated Luxe mascaras were:
#1 - Dior DiorShow
#2 - Blinc Kiss Me
#3 - Clinique High Impact Mascara
#4 - Lancôme Définicils
#5 - Lancôme Hypnôse
Last but obviously not least, your votes crowned an overall First Place Winner and ChickAdvisor's 2011 top honour goes to:
CoverGirl LashBlastBut as Ryan Gosling once famously said, "It's still not over!"
You see, our ChickAdvisor staffers also have strong opinions on their favourite mascaras, and while it proved nearly impossible to narrow it down to just one apiece, we finally made up our minds:
Claire says: "Once in a while you come across a high end product that really lives up to its luxe price point" like Yves Saint Laurent Shocking.
Mandy says: "I love how L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes defines, lengthen and separates my lashes. Best of all, it doesn't flake. At this price point, you really can't go wrong!"
Ali says: Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill give her "fat, plush, long lashes that are very dramatic without being clumpy."
Michelle says: "My favourite Mascara of 2011 was Sephora Atomic Mascara! I received a sample as part of my birthday gift from Sephora and I loved the formula and effect so much, I was really sad when I finished my sample. It's been my beauty staple ever since."
Shiori says: "Despite trying countless mascaras, L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Clean Definition Mascara is the one I always come back to! Doesn't clump and gives lots of length."
Did your favourite mascara make our list?

 | hello.. my name is elizabeth from florida.. i just want to share my experience how i saved my marriage and got my husband back..3 weeks to our marriage, my husband left me due to the fact that his parents didnt like me .. i wa sso devastated and it made me cry, totally broke me apart.. he left me for a whole year... my life was in shambles and my heart was broken.. but i still loved him and wanted him back.. i tried everything possible to get him back... even though he wanted to, his parents had more power over him.. until someone introduced me to this great spiritualist who helped me out... i didnt believe in such things cos i am a christian.. but i just decided to give it a try.. within a few days of working with the spiritualist, he used special herbs and did special prayers.. and told me we were soul mates... i already knew that cos i couldnt be happy with anyone else.. so he did the prayers for 3 nights and gave me instructions on what to do.. and i couldnt believe my eyes, within 7 days,... he called me back and was apologising.. i thought i was dreaming... then he flew in to florida.. to apologise.. his parents also called as well ... anyways.. we are married now with 2 kids and we have a great family..so i just want to encourage you not to give up.. you can reach me on .......................... |
 | i didn't try all these, i hope to try soon |
 | I need to try some of these! My mascara always ends up under my eyes by the end of the day. :( |
 | L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes and NYX Doll Eye Volume were my top two and probably will be for 2012 too! <3 |
 | I am totally true to my fave, LashBlast Volume. Recently I gave LastBlast Length a try and now use them together for incredible results. Since I saw this article (and mascaras are on sale buy one get one free at Pharma Plus this week) I got L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes to try. |
 | The lashblast was so popular that I bought one and tried it a year or two ago. However, I did not find anything too great about it. In fact, it was worse than some of my other mascaras so I don't know why everyone loves lashblash. I'm starting to think that the one I got was a lemon (if that's even possible with mascaras). Anyway, this article reinforced the fact that I should try the LashBlash again! |
