I'm usually not a big fan of lip balms in jars (I don't like having to use my fingers to reapply, since it doesn't always feel very hygienic!) but this one won me over. I love the smooth and silky consistency of the balm, and the color is really pretty and natural-looking. I actually prefer it to the normal Benetint, since I feel like the lip balm color is more universally flattering than the stain.

I purchased this shade in "Moistly Mocha," and I was surprised by how much I liked it. My experiences with drugstore make-up brands have been pretty hit-or-miss, but this one was definitely a hit. It wasn't particularly long-lasting, but it wore evenly and the formula is definitely moisturizing, which is a big plus for me. The shade selection is good, and the price is great for the quality of the product. I would highly recommend it.

I tried this lip stay product in the "Russet" shade, and I have to say I wasn't very impressed. It felt like one of the older-generation drugstore long-lasting products that settled into the lines of your lips and started to flake off unevenly by the afternoon. The color was pretty and the gloss end of the wand was comfortable, but overall I would prefer a product that wears more consistently.

While I absolutely love the non-spray version of Oscar Blandi's dry shampoo, for some reason I didn't get the same results with the spray bottle. I felt that the product did not perform as well on my fine, dark hair when I sprayed it, and I still noticed greasiness even after I had just applied it. The non-spray dry shampoo, however, is a real godsend, and it worked wonders for me.

I didn't appreciate how good this cream was until I ran out and stopped using it! My only criticism would be that the price is a bit steep for a foot cream, but it does deliver results quickly. For beauty lovers who have a bit extra to spend after investing in the basics, this would be the product I'd recommend the highest.

I really love the Black Honey shade of Clinique's Almost Lipstick, but I found the staying power to be a real problem. When first applied, the color is sheer and glowing and pretty, but it did not last even through my first sips of coffee. I found it was too much of a hassle to keep reapplying, no matter how pretty and universally flattering the shade is.

I have tried several different brands of lip stains recently, and this is by far my favorite and the one that stays in my daily makeup rotation. Unlike some other stains, it really is equally flattering on both the cheeks and the lips. While it is longer-lasting on cheeks, I found it to stay put quite well on lips also. The two shades I've tried - Liquid Kiss and Cupid's Breath - were both very buildable, but subtle colors. I did have to reapply by the end of the day, but it still lasted longer than most other stains I've tried.
