Benefit Degroovie

Pros: Does a fair job of preventing lipstick "feathering."
Cons: Stinks, literally.

Why yes, my fellow cosmetic junkies, I have indeed been retired from my prolific stint as an Epinions cosmetics reviewer for quite some time now. But I thought I'd pop back in, quite uninvited, for a review of a remarkable product. Unfortunately, it's...

Pros: None
Cons: Made lipstick smear out, $$, greasy.

I buy alot of Benefit's products and thought this would appeal to me since my lipstick often starts to 'feather'. However, this product did the opposite almost. After applying lipstick over DeGroovie, it made the lipstick smear outside of my lipline. Definitely not the expected effect.

Pros: Low price - a little goes a loooong way. Long wearing. 
Cons: Discontinued. :(

This was a thick, waxy balm that didn't do much for preventing lipstick feathering, but was a great product anyway. It was highly protective with a very low water content - just the thing for hot, dry weather, as well as bitter cold - when lips can get dry, cracked & peel. I don't know what I'm going to do without it.
