I love my Buxom lips. The wand is clean and easy to apply with. There's quite a lot of product which is great value for the price. I love the hint of colour and the fact that it's glossy without being full of stupid sparkles... The actual plumping is damn decent, since I never expected it to work at all. Even if it's an instance of the tingling (that lasts such a pleasant amount of time!) itself making you feel like you want to purse your lips out a bit that gives you the plumpness of lip, I say go for it. -

I love these. Got it on a whim the first time since I had coupons, and now I buy these anytime they're on sale.
Perfect for apartment dwellers like me, less to carry down awkwardly to the laundry room from your apartment. And you don't need to worry about forgetting to buy bounce sheets, since it's all in one, and so you only have to carry the one sheet with you per load. Box is super simple and stackable, and sheets are so easy to use. The value is great at 24 sheets per box for $4 on sale, and there's so little waste, no mess, no fuss.

I first got these Magic Erasers in a sample package, and was skeptical at their effectiveness. But once I got the package open, I couldn't be happier at how well it swiped off walls and sink faucets.
That area where shoes get kicked off against the walls in your entrance, or after the cat has scratched up against the closet door – a few swipes and it's clean as new. Only problem is that in contrasting light you can see the area you've scrubbed clean compared to the surrounding wall surface area.
Cloudy sink faucets are nice and buffed clean after a few wipes – I've not been able to find a towel that doesn't leave residue or fuzzies and doesn't need to be washed after use, much as I love a good J-Cloth for general household duties.
You'll know how much is too much water after the first time that you don't squeeze the eraser out perfectly. But you don't want to squeeze out too much that you lose the soap. It's a fine balance, but when these babies are on sale, I like to have one or two on hand for those stubborn grease on wall or tread mark on wall stains.

COVERGIRL LashBlast 24 Hour Mascara

While the 24hr claim is a bit generous on CoverGirl's part, this mascara is hard working (like you are!), and will stay strong from the moment you put it on for your morning pre-work makeup ritual til way past after-work drinks.
Even holds up well past that point of no return on a Thursday night when you decide to join in on the karaoke party next door to the bar you're at, well into the dancing uninhibitedly part of the late evening at the club across the way.
Your eyelashes don't feel as stiff the next day as some other mascaras can be, and it doesn't hurt to apply a quick overcoat to get the fullness back for the next day of work. I'm prone to crazy under eye smudges, and this mascara isn't the worst offender I have ever had, either.
Biggest bonus going for it is the super comfortable wand. It's the soft plastic bristles that really do it, no clumping, great coverage with one sweep. Not for a dramatic look on its own, but this mascara helps play up the eyes without going overboard (aka, like when at other times your coworkers ask "big night tonight?" and you think you might look inappropriate. This mascara doesn't do that, but can transition really easily into your night look at 6pm without being too aggressive for 9am).
I wasn't a big mascara user before trying this randomly a few months ago, and now I pretty much swear by it.
