Nyx Wonder Pencil
This little wonder (hence the name) fits perfectly in your bag and deserves to be taken everywhere—it’s a pinch hitter. It also comes highly recommended from Alyson Seligman of The Average Girl’s Guide. She uses it under her eyes and says, “It's also awesome as a nude lip liner to keep lipstick where it should be.” Gotta love a product that does double duty!

Maybelline Color Elixir
There are three reasons to fall in love with Maybelline’s Color Elixir: saturated color, high shine, and it goes on like a balm. Sound nice? It was used on the models at the Daisy Fuentes for Kohl’s fashion show last fall, so the lippie will work for weddings, parties and other important photo ops.
