Origins Dr. Andrew Weil Conditioning Lip Balm with Turmeric

Almost perfect.

I absolutely love this product. The first application of a new tube of this stuff isn't so smooth, but once you get it started, it glides on really smooth. My lips get dried out very easily, but since I started using this lip balm, my lips rarely get dry at all, even after the stuff wears off (which, as my only real complaint, happens much too soon). Overall a really nice product, and really worth the price.

Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara

Not so great alone.

By itself this mascara isn't really anything to brag about. I usually combine this with my favorite lengthening mascara for a kind of eyelash cocktail. While it does volumize really well, it doesn't lengthen, so I usually do a quick swish of it over my other mascara to give a little more oomph. On a positive note, I'm impressed by its ability to give that extra volume without any clumping. I don't even have to run my eyelash comb through after I apply Big Fatty. I would really only recommend this product to those who already have long lashes, but just want a little something extra.
