The Acuvue 2 Contact Lenses are gentle enough to not dry out my eyes, but strong enough not too tear very often. I wear my contacts every day and have to travel a lot with them too. These have performed well, and in all types of weather.

The AVON ANEW Force Extra Eye Cream is a good one for improving suppleness around the eye area. I noticed that it helped with fine lines, but not so much with the dark circles. I have sensitive skin, so I can only use a small amount or else it irritates my eyes.

I like Clinque products, but I wasn't sure what to expect when I first tried the Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm. I was pleasantly surprised! It goes on smooth and because the stick is, well, "chubby" it provides great coverage! I love how moisturizing it is too! The colors tend to be quite pale and sheer with this particular version, so if you want a more bold look, try the Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Colour Balm instead.

Lancome's Juicy Tubes come in a variety of fun colors and I have tried several! I like the formula, even though it is a bit sticky. The shine effect is terrific and it provides a good amount of moisture to thirsty lips! The colors can be a little deceiving though because they look really vibrant coming out of the tube, but after they are applied, have just a hint of color.

I have tried the NYX Color Lip Balm in Merci, a bright pink. It offers more moisture than most colored lip balms, but still feels dry on the lips. It definitely has a ton of color, but almost too much. I can only pass it over my lips once or else I look garish. Maybe some of the other colors are more tame... I am hoping so.

Normally, I really like Burt's Bees products, but the Lip Crayon was a bit of a disappointment. I love that is it natural, cruelty-free and made in America, but it was quite dry. I didn't feel any moisture and the color was blah. I tried Sedona Sands, which appeared to be a mauve/taupe color, but came out on the lips looking barely pink. Perhaps it is meant to be sheer and matte, but in this case, between the drab color and lack of shine, it was a bummer.

The Mark Pro Glimmer Lip Powder is just what is sounds like... Powder for your lips. The formula is dry, so if you have even the slightest bit of chapping on your lips, you can't use this product. Unfortunately for me, that's about 6-months out of the year since I live in the Northeast where we have long winters. The thing that is so great about this lip powder is the stunning color! The soft glimmer is special, so I find a way to work with it. I just add a bit of clear or very sheer lip gloss to my lips first and then apply the lip powder overtop. The result is beautiful!

I like many of Bobbi Brown's products and the Crystal Lip Gloss is among them. This gloss is nice because it enhances your natural lip by upping the shine! You can also use it over dry-ish matte lipsticks to give moisture and a little light. The formula is a bit sticky, but not overly so. All in all, a straight-forward, good quality product with no surprises.

The Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss is an average one in my opinion. The colors are nice, but are on the sheer side. The formula is fine, but doesn't seem to stay on for too long. And I'm not a huge fan of the applicator. The gloss is nice and shiny though and the price is fair for the size of the tube.

I have tried a couple of Stila lip glosses and overall I think they are good. The colors are pretty and the applicator works well. Unlike some other reviewers, I didn't find the formula that sticky, but then I tend not to apply very much... Just enough to get some color and nice shine. As another reviewer noted, there isn't a lot of product for the price, so you may want to forego this for a similar product that is larger in size.
