Sultry, Smoky Eye Kits, Part II
I've already told you about some great smoky eye kits that let you create a very sexy effect with your eye makeup. Thankfully, cosmetics companies are coming out with even more smoky palettes that give you everything you need to add some fool-proof sensuality to your face. (For a refresher on how to create a smoky eye, click here.) Here are the latest and greatest do-it-yourself palettes.
Product to Try: Tinted Moisturizer
Until recently, I never understood the appeal of tinted moisturizers. To me, this product, which combines foundation and moisturizer into one, seemed to suffer from the shampoo-plus-conditioner problem—that is, they were neither good moisturizers nor good concealers. All of the ones I tried just dried out my face and left my skin looking very uneven.
Ooh-La-La Lip Plumpers
Personally, I am not a huge fan of the bee-stung throbbing feeling you get from lip plumpers, but I know that more often than not, there is a price to pay for beauty. If your goal is super-sized smackers, then these glosses are a better option than collagen or restylane injections that leave your lips in a perma-pucker. Here are my top three choices for lip plumpers.

Test Drive: Freeze 24/7 Lip Plumpers
In theory, I like the idea of lip-plumping lip glosses, but in reality, they always seem to disappoint me: They either burn like hell or have little to no effect. But because I'm usually a big fan of the Freeze 24/7 brand, I recently got around to trying the pricey Freeze 24/7 PlumpLips IceSticks Lip Plumper, which I wrote about here. Freeze 24/7 has built a business on providing needle-free anti-aging treatments in the form of makeup and other cosmetics, and it claims that its lip plumper provides a pain-free alternative to collagen.
