Brea's

Worst:
Product: Vitamin E Lip Care Stick SPF 15 by The Body Shop
Product Details: organic beeswax- help condition dry lips, coconut oil-conditions the skin, vanilla flavor-subtle smell, and vitamin E-conditions, nourishes, and protects the skin.
Pros: None
Cons:
-Lip balm has an herbal smell
-Doesn't nourish chapped lips
-Conditioning lasts for about 30min or less and then would have to reapply
-Goes on almost too matte and can't tell that it is on

Best:
Product: Aquaphor healing ointment from Eucerin
Product Details: Petrolatum-skin protectant.
Pros:
-Temporarily protects minor cuts and burns
-Protects and help relieves irritated skin and dry lips
Only con: It has a sticky texture






Em's

Worst:
Product: e.l.f. Shielding Hydro-Tint SPF 15
"Anti-aging formula combats premature aging and protects against sun damage while leaving skin radiant and moisturized." -e.l.f.
Pro:
-Has SPF 15
Con:
-Everything 
Verdict: Too thick, horrible perfume smell/odor, even when I put it on a moisturized face it would still flake--it might be my dry skin but it did not blend very well.

Best:
Product: Boscia Soothing Cleansing Cream
"A cleanser, rich in Botanical Emollients, that effectively removes makeup and impurities. Chamomile soothes and nourishes dry, damaged skin. Carrot Root promotes fresh, younger-looking skin. A powerful antioxidant, Jojoba Leaf, and a unique anti-irritant, Willowherb, combined with other select ingredients will maintain your skin's protective moisture and help prevent the signs of aging." -Boscia
Pros:
-Doesn't leave my skin dry
-Removes all of my makeup
-Causes no irritation
-No preservatives
Con:
-Prewash application of product has a greasy feel, but after the rinse off doesn't have any oily residue
Verdict: Most cleansers can be harsh on my skin but this cleanser isn't, it is especially made for dry skin but there is an oily skin version.  It has a milky consistency and doesn't produce a lot of soap suds but I don't mind that.  Best of all it leaves my skin so moist and clean!  I would get this product again and again ^^

Rae's

Best:

-Different colors to mix and match for the perfect occasion
-Reasonable price (approx. $14.50)

-I found the black to be useful because I messed up doing my eyeliner and I did not have a lot of time, I smeared where I messed up and used the black and they blended together-- no one noticed my mistake ^.^
-I really like the black because I can put light colors over it and it makes a new color, which I like.  I like mixing the black and light purple together. 
Cons:
