If high-glitter and high-pigment makeup aren't quite your thing for the holidays, Benefit Cosmetics' I'm Glam . . . Therefore I Am ($36) is a great option for you, then. The seven-piece kit contains the universally flattering rosy- and peachy-pink Glamming Face Powder, along with the brand's always-crowd-pleasing highlighter, Girl Meets Pearl.

A four-piece eye shadow palette of pale pink, icy purple, muted plum, and steely gray allows you to create looks ranging from just a kiss of color to something a little more mod to something more alluring and smoky. Bubble-gum pink gloss and mini BadGal mascara top it all off, but will also serve you well while you travel throughout the year. These teeny-tiny products can be easily tossed in your one-gallon clear plastic bag, without the TSA having to step in and confiscate them from you.

And while the palette is too big to fit into a small bag, it's still bitty enough to hold in a medium-sized purse or clutch - one that's sequined for all your upcoming festivities, of course.

Bringing Home the Troops: 7 Reasons to Date a Military Man

We're happy to present this excerpt from one of our favorite sites, YourTango.

Obama is bringing the troops home from Iraq, and it's a single woman's perfect opportunity to snag a man in uniform. So, dust off your patriotic heels and show our men in service just how much you appreciate their sacrifices.

Even though dating someone in the military can be incredibly challenging on many different levels, there are numerous reasons why a man in the service could be your ideal beau:

Conviction.
Nothing says sexy more than someone who is putting his life on the line to protect your freedoms and rights. Joining the military is a choice; by serving his country, you know he has strong ideals and is willing to fight for them.
He is in great physical shape.
Let's not pretend that the fact he's probably in the best shape of his life doesn't turn you on. The rigorous training he is committed to is part of his daily routine, and you get to reap the benefits of his occupation's strict physical and dietary habits. We'll salute to that.
Potential for love letters.
Since your relationship will probably be long-distance at certain points and for long periods of time, communication becomes quintessential. This means lots of emails, chats, phone conversations, and snail mail. The possibility of epic literary confessions of love is immense.
Independence and co-dependence.
Since he is often in unfamiliar environments, you know that he can take care of himself. He is trained to survive hostile circumstances and protect his fellow soldiers, so he knows what it takes to work as a team. He knows how to work together for a common goal, but he can also assess a difficult situation and figure out a solution on his own. This can translate well for relationships. After all, love can be a battlefield too.
