This universally flattering Benefit Cosmetics 24k Sexy Gold Lip Gloss is such a wonderful stocking stuffer.
Want a nude lip with a touch of warm shimmer? Wear it directly on the lips. Want a more dramatic look? Apply over lipstick to add a metallic sheen to your favorite shade. Benefit describes this look as "seductive" and I couldn’t agree more!
Benefit Cosmetics 24k Gloss retails for $20 at Benefit Cosmetics.

For we of beauty fanatic ilk, Allure Magazine is the beauty bible. November’s edition of Allure features a "How To Wear Red Lipstick" interview with Poppy King, the creator and CEO of Lipstick Queen. Who better to help you pick that perfect shade of Red than lipstick royalty?
For those who simply can’t seem to embrace the opaque red mouth comfortably, Lipstick Queen has an entire line of sheer lipstick. Lipstick Queens "Saint" line is comprised of sheer versions of their opaque "sinner" shades. Saint Wine is a deep, rich mulberry. It pairs beautifully with the aubergine shades we’re seeing everywhere this Fall.
A few weeks ago, I applied my Saint Wine lipstick before heading out for a long bike ride with my family. My husband poked fun at me for being such a girlie girl. But how could I resist? The lush shade of wine was just the right hint of color for any situation, and the Lipstick Queen formula not only wears eternally, but keeps lips feeling moist and smooth.
Lipstick Queen Saint Wine lipstick retails for $18 at Barneys.
