Very interesting, thanx!

I'm happy that Maybelline Great Lash is NOT on such a list anymore

I agree with the Shu Basic Mascara, but I don't have anything else on that list. I just might take a look at those e/s, if I didn't live in "Not having Stila, NARS, Paula Dorf... endless list" - country

 

[Erin]

This list changes every year, whether new products are on the list or not. So much of it depends on your skin... and the look you are trying to achieve... but it's always fun to browse.

Thanks for posting.

My only surprise is that Shu Eumera's eyelash curler isn't the winner in that category.
