Okay so I know this one is just a few cents over $25, but I just HAD to include it in my list! First off, the packaging is awesome, and the wand is perfect for separating lashes.

7. Maybelline Great Lash Blackest Black Volumizing Mascara | $6.40

We're throwing it WAY back with the mascara! This was the first mascara I ever tried when I first started wearing makeup in Jr. High. I'm pretty sure it was also my mom's first mascara that she tried all the way back in the 70s. It's hypoallergenic and glides on smoothly when applying. This is a tried and true product that is great in quality, especially for the price point.
