Holiday 2012: Mally Slimline Lip Gloss Library.

Looking to spread a little holiday gloss this year? You can't go wrong, especially with a beautiful 10 piece gift of gloss like this Mally Slimline Lip Gloss Library. With 10 high shine liquid lipsticks, which are really so much more than just a gloss, this gift set is perfect for any woman on your list.

The Liquid Lipstick is wonderful. It is very highly pigmented, creamy soft, applies easily through the twist up pen, and it smells and tastes delicious. It lasts a good few hours on my lips before having to reapply.

The set is housed in a beautiful box that is easy to wrap and beautiful to keep and reuse. It has a magnetic wrap around closure.

The colors range from a very natural gloss to a pink red. Here is the complete list:

• Supernatural
• Blossom
• Pouty Pink
• Starburst
• Perfois Pink
• Orchid
• Summer Peach
• Heartbreaker
• Fuzzy Navel
• Sweet Berry

Each gloss is .04 oz, which is an ideal size.  It's much more than a travel or "mini" size, though not as large as a full .12 oz. Honestly, who uses a full gloss anyway? I rather have a variety. At $39.96, it is less than $4.00 a piece, which is still a fraction of the regular $20 per piece full size price.

Lip gloss sets are perfect to give for the holidays. I buy multiple complete sets and give as intended - as a set. I also buy multiple lip gloss sets and break them up. I like to tie a lip gloss on top of every gift that I am giving to a woman, as a little special added touch of beauty.

Mally In the Buff Eyeshadow Palette.

You know I am a huge fan of neutrals. Neutral does not mean boring at all. I love the neutral brown and ivory shades. From mattes to shimmers, I find myself really liking the different looks I can create that are never over the top. Let's face it. I am 45 years old with four kids and live I the 'burbs. Neutral and smoky neutral is where it's at for me. When I saw this new Mally In the Buff Eyeshadow Palette, I know I needed to check it out further.

This palette does not disappoint. It comes together in a real sturdy faux snake skin bound case. It opens to reveal a full size mirror, brush, an eyeshadow base and 11 neutral eyeshadows.

The shades range from a barely there ivory shade, to a deep, somewhat shimmery brown that is great for smoking up the look or lining the eyes. They are very soft to apply, and very powdery. Definitely make use of the beige creamy eyeshadow base. The base really evens out the eye area and brightens it up which is huge help in the morning. It's a must to make sure the shadows apply properly and stay in place all day.

The shades:

• Au Natural
• Bubbly
• Buff
• Tiger's-Eye
• Cappuccino
• Shimmering Taupe
• Brownstone
• Oak
• Egyptian Gold
• Toast
• Chocolate Diamond

The Mally Beauty In the Buff Eyeshadow sells for $45.46 at QVC.

Have you had enough of the neutral eye palettes yet? I say to keep bringing them on. I don't think I'll ever get bored with them.
