I have mild insomnia. The lack of sleep is bad enough, but what's worse is the money I waste buying stuff while watching late-night TV. (Those Zorbeez looked irresistible at 3 a.m., but now …)

Fortunately (well, depending on how you look at it), TotalBeauty.com readers are no strangers to QVC and HSN either. They've weeded through the bad and the ugly to find the makeup that's actually worth the shipping and handling. So the next time you're enthralled watching 80s sitcom stars shill their wares, use this list -- it'll keep you from buying another Ab Swing (or Ab Slide or Ab Zone -- ever notice how many ab-related products they sell?).
