Reader Bailaoragaditana had plenty of positive things to say about Lipstick Queen Medieval Lipstick ($20), so I'll let her take it from here:
The name, the picture, the color, the backstory, and some rave reviews convinced me to buy it, but when I did, it was love at first try! Since Medieval is ostensibly a lip stain, it's quite sheer, but still very red — a confounding combination that I simply adore, as I can get away with wearing red and looking completely natural at the same time, which I never thought would be possible. It's actually much more balm-y than stain-y.

You've heard me say it multiple times, and you'll probably hear me say it again. Mascaras are pretty much the most popular product on our Product Reviews website. But facial cleansers are a close second.

The season is just under way, but your locks don't have to look abused by heat, chlorine, and/or windy days. Reader Jjasinsk gave Redken Extreme Anti-Snap Leave-In Treatment ($18) a whirl after experiencing some damage to her hair, and here's what she thought:
I've never had much faith in products that claim to repair damaged hair, but this product has really performed. After compulsively using Sun-In on my hair for a year, the front sections were broken, matted, and elastic.

Creamy eyeliners are perfect for soft, smudgy looks, and Clinique’s Cream Shaper For Eyes ($14.50) would be just the ticket for creating that highly sought-after smoked-out effect. Reader Fashion_doll24 calls this product the “best eyeliner so far.” Here’s the scoop:
I have this one in Deep Cobalt, Black Diamond, and a duo in Cocoa Shimmer and Chocolate Luster. I'm a huge fan of them.

Reader Pepermint179 had so many positive things to say about Cover Girl TruBlend Whipped Foundation ($8) that I think I'll just let her take it from here:
This is perhaps the best foundation I've used to date. My old favorite was Max Factor's Colour Adapt which was unfortunately discontinued, and I am convinced these two are the same product. The ingredients are almost identical and the two smell the same.

If you like sweet scents, aka gourmand, here's a real treat for you. Reader RacerWife7 loves the sugary sweetness of Aquolina Pink Sugar Eau de Toilette Natural Spray ($55). It's a bit too candy-shop for me, but it's a popular scent that features notes of cotton candy, strawberry, vanilla, and musk.
