K, so here's my update on the NOVUS #2, I think it worked pretty well. I can actually see out of it, which was borderline impossible before, so any improvement is a good thing in my book.
I just used cotton swabs and put a little on the end and followed the instructions, applying in a circular motion until dry and buffing with a tissue, nothing special.
Here's a before and after with flash

The difference is very noticeable when the eyes are lit. I think this will suffice for me for Halloween.

Thanks again for the suggestion on NOVUS!
