Carmex Original Lip Balm w/sunscreen

How would I describe Carmex Original Lip Balm? It's not like Vaseline, a lip gloss, or waxy like Chapstick – instead, it's slightly "melty." 
– Pro: It can be worn alone or over other lip products. 
– Con: It gets pretty soft if kept in your pocket. 
Other formats include a squeeze tube version and a round metal container. I've tried the squeeze version: 
– Pros: 1) It can stay in your pocket or a hot car for hours just fine. 2) It has a slightly more pronounced cool menthol feel, which is refreshing. 
– Cons: 1) You need to clean off the applicator after each use, 2) When the product is almost gone, there's still a fair amount of balm remaining that can be tough to extract. 
My preference? The stick version. 4 stars.

Walgreen's Lubricant Eye Drops

Do you eyes need a drink? Walgreen's Lubricant Eye Drops provide great moisture for dry eyes. Yes, they're expensive, but then all eye drops are now. I buy the 2-pack and have been pleased with this product. I like using the Walgreen's brand because it does not contain benzalkonium chloride (found in CVS artificial tears), which is to be avoided. Another brand I've tried is Refresh Tears. They did not lubricate and I would have dry eyes again right away. They also left a little film over my eyes, so things looked cloudy or blurry for a while. If you try Walgreen's Lubricant Eye Drops, let me know what you think! 4 stars.
