Holiday 2007 Glittery Goodies!

Tis the season for all that glitters!

Tis the season for all that glitters! From sparkly eyes to shimmery lips, cheeks and shoulders, if you have any glitter makeup that you've been wanting to bust out, now is the time. Glittery goodies can be a lot of fun to play with, but remember that only one feature on your body should be the main attraction. Don't overdo it, or you'll look like one big Christmas ornament yourself.

Glitter is a great finishing touch to a smoky eye or on the center of your lips. You can sprinkle some along your collarbone and even highlight your cheeks with a more subtle form of glitter (such as a sheer shimmer). I've gathered up some of the season's hottest glitter makeup products below. Tell me, which is your favorite glitter product?

Adding a touch of warm, golden lip gloss to any lipstick you dare to wear will give you an instant shine. Just dab a dot of these shimmery, sheer glosses in the center of your lower lip, and add a touch of brilliance to your lackluster lips. Finding just the right shade can be tricky though.

Found: The Perfect Pressed Powder

If you've got oily or combination skin like I do, keeping your face from looking shiny can be an ongoing battle.



If you've got oily or combination skin like I do, keeping your face from looking shiny can be an ongoing battle. But while I always carry a powder compact with me for emergency de-shining, I don't want to look or smell like an overly powdered old lady. Plus, if your skin has a tendency to flake like mine, powdering your nose will just draw more attention to the problem. Fortunately, a few years ago I discovered what I believe to be the world's most perfect pressed powder, which is made by French cosmetics brand T. LeClerc. It's lightweight enough so as not to accentuate flaky skin but matte enough to battle shine better than any other product I've tried. Plus, it also has some concealer properties, so it smooths out skin and gives your face a velvety texture. As if all of that weren't wonderful enough, it comes packaged in a beautifully luxe metal compact, so you can look stylish while touching up. It's available for $48 here and worth every penny of the price tag.
