Wet ‘N Wild’s Glassy Gloss Lip Gel was Oprah’s pick for the Shiniest Lip Gloss and it’s one of my favorites too!  The Jr. Masala carries 3 at a time in her purse and tells me she always gets compliments when she wears #311-Reflections (clear gloss).  My favorite is #319A-Beige Baby Glaze, a metallic nude-brown. 

The slant tip helps this gloss glide on and the not-too-thick, not-too-thin texture clings to lips for hours.  The scent is light and pleasant with no aftertaste, as found with some glosses.  The generous-sized tube will provide many dazzling looks for months.

Wet ‘N Wild’s Glassy Gloss Lip Gel averages $3.00 or less at most retailers.

Before that first bite is taken today, I hope we all remember to give thanks for any blessings that have come our way this past year.  Earlier this week, I asked readers to tell us what they were most grateful for.  Family and friends were mentioned the most.  As we start the Holiday Season, let us all remember those around us who may not be fortunate enough to have family to be with.  Invite them into your home and share the blessings you have received.  Thank you to all who commented and I’m wishing you all a lovely Thanksgiving!

I am thankful that the Lord blessed me with such an awesome family. They are my everything. 

Put away those false lashes, because ya won’t be needing ‘em thanks to Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara!  Rimmel is fast becoming the leader of the mascara industry as far as I’m concerned.  I’m currently loving three of their recent releases and the Sexy Curves mascara had me doing a double take after the first use!  Even with just one coat, my lashes curled and lengthened dramatically.  The protein enriched formula coaxes lashes into curling for up to 16 hours. This mascara just made its debut in the States, so it may be a little hard to find.  I purchased mine at Walgreen’s for about $7.50.

(Yes, hell hath frozen over; that’s my lovely eye up there!)

I’m loving the new dual-wand Liplicious glosses from Bath and Body Works so much, I bought seven over the past two days!  My favorite is the Dual Wand Lip Shimmer, which will have your lips looking their holiday best in silver and gold.  The Gold Dust end looks hot over nude or brown lipsticks and also beautiful alone. The Platinum Glow end adds a silvery finish to any shade and also shimmers-up bare lips.

The 2-n-1 Lip Stain & Gloss in Cherry Bomb/Sheer Bling is another new favorite of mine.  The Cherry Bomb end stains lips for that just-kissed look.  Top the cherry stain with the clear Sheer Bling, for the juiciest pout ever!  These will make perfect stocking stuffers or keep a few on hand to give to unexpected guests this Holiday Season.

Liplicious products are on sale for $5 each (average price $8-$12) in-store only.

Yes, it’s a touchy subject I know ladies, but what are girlfriends for?!  If you ever suffered from an ailment called All Day Va-Jay-Jay, then this Hidden Gem is just what you need.  It’s happened to all of us; you’ve worked so hard all day and then comes the invite for after-work drinks, dinner or other social gathering.  With no time to hit the shower, you worry through the night if your nether-regions are as fresh as they should be.

Well, worry no more! Playtex Petals Personal Cleansing Cloths are perfectly portable towelettes, that clean and freshen in one swipe (or maybe two if you worked extra hard on a particular day).  These cloths are gentle to skin and leave you smelling fresh as daisy.  Tuck a few in your purse or desk and remember the Girl Scout Motto: “Always Be Prepared“!

Playtex Petals Personal Cleansing Cloths can be found for $4.50 or less at most retailers.

Considering the sad shape our economy is in, it’s no wonder most of us are out to get more bang for our beauty buck.  Sephora definitely has our wallets in mind with the following beauty combos!
