BEG- thank you for the tip on the smudge pots. I have seen those and wondered if they were good. I've used Stila lipgloss before and liked it. For the ladies reading (or guys, if you are into eye makeup), I bought Laura Mercier's eyeliner that is comparable to this. It can be used wet or dry. It's a good product and seems like it will last forever. I have a brush like BEG mentioned (I think). It's angled and works much better than the pointed one she mentioned (have that one too). Paula Dorf makes a really good one. I lost it and bought Sephora's version and it's great too.
