Bobbi Brown Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick Compact.

If there is one thing you need to use to get beautified throughout this Holiday season, this is it. Bobbi Brown's Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick Compact is my latest obsession.


Copper Diamond helped get me gorgeous on Thanksgiving, and quickly helped me look awake at 6 AM on Black Friday. This Shimmer Brick is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l, without being overdone. I mean, if you want to go all out glam and be all full of golden copper shimmer, then apply with a heavier hand. I am loving it though, just by sweeping it across my cheeks and eyelids for a quick look. Along with mascara, liner, and gloss (well, some concealer and foundation too), I am beautified in no time.

"Five gorgeous shades — candlelight, gold, copper, beige and sand — work together to give skin a warm golden copper glow."

Bobbi used this very Shimmer Brick in her Holiday look this year, which can be found here - along with the rest of the cosmetics used.

Copper Diamond Shimmer Brick is a limited edition, so check it out soon at your Bobbi Brown counter or online. For $40, you will not be sorry.

Kiehl's has partnered with YouthAIDS by making a Kiehl’s Limited Edition World AIDS Day Lip Balm #1 to benefit the organization. For the month of December, 100% of net proceeds will be donated to YouthAIDS starting on World AIDS Day, December 1.

I ordered all three of these today in support of the cause, and I hope some of you follow suit. Great strides are being made in the challenges of AIDS and HIV and I think that every little bit of help for this cause is truly necessary.

Lancôme Holiday Beauty Box - PWP.

When a PWP (purchase with purchase) is as good as this one, you will want to scoop it up as fast as you can. At Macy's, when you spend $36 on Lancôme, for an additional $49.50, you can get this amazing Lancôme Holiday Beauty Box.

I saw this and have studied the contents, and will definitely be making my purchase today (when I make it back to Macy's - again!!!). Take a look at what is inside this Lancôme signature train case (with Eiffel Tower zipper pulls).
