I don't usually use liners, only pads, since liners tend to be too non-absorbent for me. These liners are noticeably more comfortable than other liners, and I love that they can fit different panty styles because of these optional foldable wings. They are very soft and you can hardly tell that they are there. However, I would still use pads simply because I like the assurance that there will be no leakage....haha. Overall a great product for anyone who is looking for a liner that fits and feels better. -

As a longtime user of Always Ultra Thins, I was actually rather excited to try out their new Always Infinity line, which is advertised as being "amazingly absorbent, soft, and flexible-just like magic". I had always thought that, while the ultra things were extremely thin and much more comfortable than regular pads, they felt very rectangular and boxy and didn't fit quite right. I was highly impressed, however, by the Always Infinity pads. Not only did they have all the improvements I expected (mostly just fit and comfort issues), but it was softer, still amazingly thin, and yet just as if not more absorbent. It fits seamlessly and almost doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything at all. I am extremely happy with the results of Always Infinity and will definitely be using it as my main pad from now on. -

From the website: This eye shadow and liner cools as it colors. Bold and defining formula is enriched with aloe, cucumber and glycerin.
This eyeshadow/liner stick is really versatile and actually does "cool" as it colors. It's probably got peppermint oil or something in it that gives the area around your eye or on your eyelid that minty, tingly/slightly burning feeling. It's not painful or overwhelming and really wakes me up in the morning when I use it. The colors are pigments and they are really great for both lining and shadowing. I got mine in Gives Me The Chills (48) which is a silvery color. It's a pretty thick tube and doesn't come with a sharpener, but any large barreled sharpener will do. The color goes on really smooth and shows up really well, and is a great eyeshadow base. Creasing is rare if any. There are a lot of color choices but it would be expensive to buy all of them...which is why I rated the price 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, though, it's a nice product that I would consider buying again.

From the website: Goes on clear, then ripens to a juicy pink to leave lips tinted and shiny. Alluring, personalized pink tone lasts even after the gloss is gone. 0.34 fl. oz.
This gloss is absolutely PHENOMENAL. I don't know how it works but it does!! I put it on and after a few moments my lips will turn this flattering shade of pink. It's subtle but noticeable at the same time, and looks completely natural. The gloss lasts for a few hours, and after the gloss rubs off, the coloring still stays on! It's just mind boggling. It also smells pretty good. Totally worth the $6. I would buy bigger packages if they sold them. Every girl in the world should have one of these. It's the all-purpose, all-occasion gloss.

From the website: This glossy formula with its sculpting tip contours lips precisely.
* Aqua-botanicals and Vitamin E keep lips kissably soft and smooth
* Non-sticky feel
This purchase was also inspired by 17 magazine. It looked so shiny and irresistible! It was very pricey for a lip gloss, around $7. Magic Sunset is a kind of pinkish-brown shiny, reflective gloss (not the one in the pic). I thought the casing was very nice and unique; this was my main motivation for purchasing a tube. It twists up from the bottom, and if you twist up too much you can twist back. The tip is plastic with 5 holes in it to allow gloss to come out. It's ultra fun to apply!
The color is very nice, it complements my asian skin tone nicely. It's kind of bronze-y with a hint of gold and pink (it looks boring brown on the website, but it's really not). It's not AS sticky as other glosses, but it is still slightly sticky nonetheless (more sticky than, say, CG wetslicks fruit spritzers) so it will still catch your hair. It's very shiny but you have to apply more than one coat for the color to really show up on you. I guess the color could be called adjustable, then. It feels alright on your lips, just a bit heavy. Overall, I enjoy this product but might not purchase it again because it's so expensive. A similar gloss from another company could be comparable and much cheaper.

From the Bonnebell website: VitaGloss2O® Moisture Stick gives all the benefits of a liquid gloss in a cute, ultra-clear, twist-up stick. VitaGloss2O looks like your favorite sponge-on, but has the moisturizing benefits of a balm. Enriched with Vitamins A & E and lightly sweetened with refreshing flavors, this gloss goes on smooth for all day lip health.
I bought this lipgloss/balm from Rite Aid after seeing it in a Seventeen magazine.My VitaGlossO2 is in Mindful Mango, which they no longer make for some reason. The first thing I noticed was its cute packaging, as you can see in the picture. Once I bought it, the second thing I noticed was the amazing scent. Although I only have one flavor to base this upon, I'm sure all of the glosses smell great. Mine doesn't really smell like mango..more like papaya, or some other delicious tropical fruit. Sometimes I open this bottle just to smell it!
Once I put it on, however, I noticed an immediate drawback: It's extremely sticky and gives no color. Essentially it feels just like your everyday, ultra-sticky, hair-attracting gloss and looks like it too. Also, it rubs off very easily and certainly doesn't stay on all day as the website claims. And it's definitely not that smooth. However, it does taste and smell delicious.
Overall, I don't think it was worth the $3. I would not purchase this product again, it's more of a one-time thing.

As shown on the CG Website: "Pamper your lips with fresh, fruity flavor, a burst of shine and the smooth feel of a lip balm! Each pocket-sized tube of Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers has a conditioning formula, with botanical ingredients, helps improve lip condition over time and lock in moisture for hours."
I got this lip gloss from Rite Aid for about $4, mainly because I was sick and tired of ultra-sticky lip gloss: every there was so much as a gentle breeze, my hair would get stuck to my lips. Ads in magazines like Seventeen and CosmoGirl all said that this gloss isn't sticky, so I figured $4 was worth a try.
The gloss is in Raspberry Splash, and it smells HEAVENLY. Like watermelon on a sunny day. I can't stop smelling it! The tube is 13mL and is really cute! I especially like the fruity design at the top, which is different for each flavor.
ANYWAYS-to the gloss! When it first comes out of the tube, it does look like it would add a significant "splash" of color to your lips, but in actuality there isn't much color. It just looks like a regular, clear lip gloss on me (I have asian skin, a bit yellow, so maybe that affects it a little but in general the reviews I've seen say the same thing) BUT, the thing that makes this gloss 4 stars is how it feels-like a balm, but less sticky! It's kind of like vaseline, but more...liquid-y...it's kind of hard to describe but it really feels light years better than one of those sticky glosses. It's also pretty shiny and tastes yummy. Again, not much color, which is why I deducted a star, but really the way it feels so light on my lips and isn't too sticky makes up for it. When the wind blows, my hair still gets stuck to my lips, but not nearly as much so as when I was using my old gloss.
OVERALL-The smell is GREAT, the color is NOT GREAT, the shine is GOOD, and the feel is AWESOME. I would definitely repurchase this gloss once this one runs out.
