Holiday 2007
Did You Get What You Wished For This Holiday?
Whether you celebrated Hanukkah earlier this month or are enjoying Christmas today, I bet you had a present or two to unwrap. Did you receive whatever you wanted most? Or did you get more happiness from fulfilling someone else's biggest wish?
Easy, Cheap Last-Minute Gift Ideas
It's the last day before Christmas, and if you've finished shopping, congratulations—you're one of those enviably organized people that everyone else secretly resents just a tiny bit. Kidding, kidding. But if you still have a few folks left on your list, don't panic—I've got a few last-minute gift ideas that don't cost a fortune.
Essie's Festive Platinum Mini-Winter Set
Huzzah! Essie has decided to release a four-piece holiday 2007 nail-polish set called Platinum Winter ($18). These colors already exist in the Essie collection, but they're packaged in minisized bottles.
Holiday 2007 Glittery Goodies!
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.New Product Alert: Clarins Gloss Appeal Lip Gloss
The latest launch from Clarins is a new lip gloss called Gloss Appeal. I seriously need to get a handle on my lip-gloss fetish. With well over 75 glosses in my bathroom, why do I still get excited about the prospect of owning more?
Buh-Bye Dry: Fruity Body Moisturizers
With winter beginning to rear its ugly head, the temperature is dropping and you know what that means: All of your body's extra moisture is now being sucked right out of you. If you've been noticing some unsightly scaling on your arms, legs, and elbows, these fruity limited-edition body moisturizers have come to the rescue.
Kiehl's Limited-Edition Hand and Body Pear Tree Corner Lotion ($19.50) is a fast-absorbing cream that leaves skin smelling like fresh pears.
Bellissima! Cargo GlossyGreetings
I've been a sloth about sending out holiday cards, but this new discovery might change all of that. Cargo has come out with GlossyGreetings, a two-piece collection of paper goods. The cool part is that they come with a little dab of lip gloss—an unexpected and fun twist on the greeting concept.
Bobbi Brown 2007 Pink Quartz Holiday Collection
Bobbi Brown has launched another collection called Pink Quartz. The line is a smorgasbord of beautiful pink and brown limited-edition products — all of which are great gifts for yourself or for your loved ones! My favorite item is Bobbi's famous shimmer brick compact, which has been created in an unbelievably gorgeous golden-pink combo.
New Product Alert: Lancome Color Design Eye Palettes
Lancome has recently released two beautiful and classic-colored powder eye shadow palettes for the holidays called Topaz Kisses and Diamond Studs. What I love about these palettes is that they contain traditional colors, yet are modernized with a mix of shimmer, matte and metallic textures that can easily take you from day to night.
Also, they are packaged in slender and pretty quilted clutch-looking cases — striking red satin for Topaz Kisses and sexy black satin for Diamond Studs.
Yves Saint Laurent End-of-Year Collection
You've seen a little bit of Yves Saint Laurent's End-of-Year Collection already (namely the Palette Pour Les Levres and Limited Edition Multi-Usage Palette) but here's the entirety of it.
I don't know about you, but ever since YSL came out with Lip Twins Duos, I've been on pins and needles awaiting its next round of goodies. The rest of this collection is comprised of six products, including a Compact Powder/Blush ($52), a Holiday Eye Shadow Quad ($50), Limited-Edition Rouge Pure Lipsticks in two shades ($28 each), and two matching shades of La Laque Nail Enamel ($18 each).
