So I was starting my holiday shopping early this year (read: I was bored and shopping online) and came across the neatest thing! Cargo, one of my many favorite makeup brands, made gift tags that have a lip gloss built right in to them! They are the neatest little add-ons to a present. I know I would be totally stoked to receive a present with lip gloss attached to it in such an inventive way! There is only one choice in color but it’s a very pretty shimmery berry color that will look great on most people. The best thing about these tags is that 100 percent of the profits benefit St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. I would have brought them anyway but it makes it even better that they are helping such a great cause! All my girlfriends are getting these gift tags this year! $7.50 for a set of five at Sephora.com (They also have actual cards with lip gloss in them!) CARGO GlossyGreetings™ Tags 5 tags

As a part time bartender my hands get gross sometimes. I try to get regular manicures to keep up appearances but sometimes it’s a hard schedule to keep up. In between manicures I try to regularly use Bliss Manicure’s Best Friend. It’s a great cream that hydrates skin and keeps your cuticles ready for trimming. It’s good to use because if you don’t moisturize around your nails regularly, manicures can be downright painful. I rub this in every morning after I get out of the shower and every night after bed. Your fancy manicure will go to waste if it looks silly because the skin around the nails is red and aggravated. It’s a small price to pay for great hands. $18 at Sephora.com Bliss Manicure's Best Friend 0.5 oz

I’m always on the run and I never get enough sleep. Because of this I’ve had to learn beauty tricks to mask my often tired face. While your first line of defense should always be a good foundation, you can’t live by that alone. Shades of pink and gold will often brighten up your skin and leave you looking far less haggard. I recommend pink in the corners of your eyes to brighten them up. (I promise. It sounds weird, but it really works.) I just discovered the Rock Royalty Palette from Tarte. It’s a soft pink blush with two different shades of bronzer / highlighter. It’s the perfect combination to brighten up your face (and day!) I recommend using the pink on your eyes and cheeks and highlighting it all with the gold. I always underestimate what a good bronzer will do for me. Tarte is a great company and they make really quality makeup. $30 at Sephora.com Tarte Rock Royalty Palette

This Dior pendant actually belongs in Jewel Snob as it is so pretty! Even better that there is gorgeous shimmering copper pink lip gloss inside! Inspired by a dazzling diamond piece from the Christian Dior Couture collection, this sweet charm necklace features crystal detailing and a dangling Dior logo. It's especially convenient when you want to do discreet touch ups during holiday parties and the many photo ops that ensue. I just got mine and I love it, the gloss is a nice consistency, not sticky but gives lots of shine. There is also a little mirror on the topside of the pendant which makes it even easier to use. I actually tied it to my black birkin and it looked like a cute little charm! Dior Limelight Pendant Necklace $90 at Vivre.
