Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara: $24

Various tests have shown that drugstore mascara works just as well — and sometimes even better — as the department store brand, so there’s no point in shelling out the extra bucks.

TotalBeauty’s No. 1 rated mascara is L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara, which sells for $7.99, while one of Sephora’s top-rated mascaras, Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara, sells for $24 — three times more than the drugstore pick. Many drugstore brands work just as well as luxury brands.
