suggestions/opinions?, looking for some stuff... Options

[Smarmosaur]

Ok...as the title says, I need some suggestions/opinions.
Keep in mind I'm not going to go spend 10 bucks on mascara, even if it's the best thing in the word. So basically, try to keep it simple. Something cheap-ish I can find at Walmart/Target/Walgreens.

1. Do you own/use the new limited edition lip stain from Revlon? What does it do? Is it anything like lip gloss or lipstick, or something completely different? Does it dry out a lot, stay kinda liquidy, or turn into slime? Details! Was it worth the money or not?

2. I need good eyeliner! Something that doesn't smear down or out. It also has to stand up to some occasional dirty work...such as gym class. It can be liquid, crayon, pencil...whatever. Does it look really thin or even and fine? Can you smear it a tiny bit if you want? Worth the money?

3. MASCARA! I have problems with this because when I find one thing that makes them longer, it clumps, doesn't seperate the lashes, and just looks downright like a glob of ink on my eye. If I find something that seperates PERFECTLY and looks ahmazing, it doesn't make them longerrr! What does it generally do? Worth the money?

4. Hair softener/mousse/hairspray. Anything to make my hair softer and shinier, without weighing it down. Shine/soft/a bit of volume, that'll keep my hair straight. Detailsss! How quick do you go through it. Worth the money? Oh, please explain how you use it. Hair wet, dry, damp...blow drier, straightener...be specific!

Thanks in advance.
Please don't reply if you haven't tried it...
