I saw someone wearing this the other day, and I couldn't help but ask where she got it. This sparkly sheer gloss gives your lips a gorgeous shimmer. And I love the pretty peaches and pinks. It comes in more than 15 shades.

Perfume is a very personal thing. One gal's signature scent is another's stinkfest. That said, I really like this new fragrance from Gucci. It smells rich and feminine and womanly without getting too fruity or old-lady-ish. I could definitely see wearing it on a date.

Your lips will thank you for this stuff. It feels great on, more like a moisturizer than a lip gloss, and it smells delicious. I'd recommend the rosy shades--Quince, Pomegranate, and Wild Rose--over Guava, which is a kind of white. Guava still smells and feels amazing, but it sort of looks like you put lotion on your lips.

I got some of this as a gift, and wasn't expecting to like it, but it has this pretty champagne sheen that's actually surprisingly subtle. However, I think it looks best on shorter nails. The longer your nails, the more it starts getting into K-mart cashier/Vegas stripper territory.

It's always risky to apply lipstick without a mirror, but I often worry about a mirror getting broken in my bag. But this pretty pocket mirror, which comes cushioned in soft silver or gold metallic goatskin, stays protected from the other contents in your purse. Plus, you can get it monogrammed for an extra five bucks.

When I first smelled this lemony perfume, I thought it smelled more like cleaning products than a real fragrance, but once I wore it for a day, I was hooked. With hints of mandarin, lychee, orange blossom, and ginger, it just smells so clean and light. I kept wanting to put more and more of it on.

Pout has announced that it is discontinuing its makeup line, but for a little while you can still buy select items here and there, like this beautifully packaged shimmer bronzer. Inside the bronze compact, are several concentric rings of sparkly bronzer, which brushes on for a soft, streak-free tan.

If you want extra sparkle for a holiday party or New Year's bash, this nine-piece collection has glimmer for every inch of your face. We're talking shimmery blush, shimmery eye shadows, shimmery mascara, shimmery lip plumper, and an all-over body shimmer. Plus, it all comes in a shimmery white clutch.

This pretty little kit comes with three metallic eye liners. Fresh calls the colors sienna, olive, and coal, but to me they look like darker versions of bronze, gold, and silver. These liners feel creamy and light, but go on like a powder. You could also use them as eye shadows when you want dramatic eyes.

I am in love with this fragrance. It's lightly floral and citrusy without smelling like a giant orange. Notes of grapefruit and pomegranate mingle with Chinese lily and anise. Like many of the fragrances in the Fresh line, it smells very clean.
