I’m a conundrum when it comes to beauty habits. I want it all, yet I’m not willing to sit around for hours for something to happen. I want my beauty fix fast and satisfying – spoken like a true beauty junkie. Multi-purpose has been one of my favorite adjectives of late: it allows for some pampering, not to mention saving extra coins meant for a far more rainy day.

Jessica Simpson, Nicole Kidman and every British tabloid star has gone from hot to scary with those creepy Resthalyne lips. For sexy lips, we’re looking for something pouty, not potty. Angie’s got it right, and you can, too, with the persuasive potion that is Lip Venom by DuWop. A cult hit in the world, its delicious cinnamon-and-something scent tingles the lips to engorge your kisser into some A-list wonder. It comes in the original clear formula and also in sheer silver and gold, and – for extra-sensitive pouters – in light. There’s a venom for everyone.
Cream eye makeup may have gotten a bad rap from bumbling amateurs attempting to create a foxy stare using Grade-C cosmetics. The result tends to be runny and, frankly, a little scary. DuWop, that clever little cosmetic company with a mission to make life a little more fabulous for us all, has come up with an eye color kit that will take you and your peepers everywhere that matters. It comes in kits for blue, violet, gray, green and brown eyes. Each comes with a base, contour shade, highlighter, two shades of liners, and a double-ended applicator.
The cocktail party bath set by Philosophy is a soiree in a box. Highly intoxicating, but won’t leave you deranged like a drunk Mel Gibson: this is a perfect gift to yourself or a loved one in AA.
| Now what could be better than lip gloss? |
Sometimes you need something more than just a sheer gloss but also something less than an opaque lip color. The middle child of the lipstick family proves to be the star for this season. Liquid lip color by Bloom is a step up from gloss but still keeps itself from being matronly by keeping a light and smooth base. It comes in a spill-proof base that makes it a sweetheart to take everywhere.
Revolotion, again from DuWop, is basically a tinted moisturizer for the body. Whether you choose to wear a delicate porcelain pallor or an exotic bronze tone on your skin, this delicious cream will enhance your goods big time.
