Benefit Cupid's Bow Lovely Lip Shaping Set ($28) contains all the goodies you need to create a dead-sexy mouth. Your cupid's bow is the little area on your upper lip that dips down. You can play it up for a widening effect or add a highlighter and shine for fullness. Inside you'll find a dual-ended lip liner and highlighter, a dual-sided blending and shaping tool.

Australian beauty brand ModelCo recently came out with a super cool fashion-meets-beauty accessory, the Gloss Ring Jewel Ring with Colourbox Gloss ($30). This fun and flashy over-sized ring houses a pot of sheer, ultra-shiny lip gloss underneath a flip-top faux jewel.

The non-stick, long-lasting gloss comes in three colors to match the brightly colored stones. You can choose from a sapphire stone with melon gloss, an amethyst stone and a nectarine gloss, and a ruby stone with a cherry red gloss. This way you can mix and match your makeup with your outfit. As an added bonus, each ring comes with two lip gloss refills.

You can only order the Gloss Ring online if you live in Australia. But in the U.S., it's available at Henri Bendel in New York or by calling (212) 904-7974 to place your order. If you like this concept, then you should also check out the Rouge Ring by Anna Sui.
