No. 8: Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss, $18 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.2*
Why it's controversial: The debate rages on over whether this is truly "lip enhancing." Some say, "I take issue with the 'lip enhancing' part. This product made my highly pigmented lips shiny and soft; if that is the 'enhancement,' then so be it. But when I hear 'enhancement,' I expect it to improve � lips." Others disagree, "It's not meant to be a plumper, and I'm not sure where everybody is getting that. 'Lip enhancing' refers to the fact that it adds color to your lips and makes them slightly better than your own." For some readers, that enhancement is plenty, but others clearly want more.
Which side do you agree with? Weigh in here.

deodorant preferences often depend on what kind of issues you are having. some people sweat terribly, some hardly sweat at all.

Nice article. I've never understood the obsession with Maybelline's original Great Lash mascara. It's just so blah.

The Chanel Precision Sublimage Cream is amazing, and if you use it properly, It lasts a very long time. Definitely worth it!
