CLINIQUE’S CHUBBY STICKS WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY
PRODUCT: Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm
Clinique has resurrected an old time favorite and quite frankly created a new BITB fave. The Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm is cool and cute and packs a serious color punch. If you’re bored of your same old lip balm and want a pop of color on your lips that lasts a long time, these could be your new go-to sticks.
Clinique somehow always gets it right, and the Chubby Stick is no exception. It moisturizes chapped and dry lips (perfect for the winter) while adding just enough color to make lips look (and feel) kissable. The shades are positively mouthwatering, including Chunky Cherry, Graped Up, Super Strawberry, and Whoppin Watermelon. Our favorites are the Super Strawberry, which is a berry pink that looks great on any skin tone, and Whole Lotta Honey, which is a beige shade with a hint of shine that’s creates a more subtle look.
The Chubby Stick is perfect for a lipstick-phobe or anyone who is afraid of too much color. Plus it dispenses cleanly, leaving no lipstick stains on your hands or the tube afterwards. Just pop it in your purse and go. It also makes a perfect stocking stuffer… Santa, are you listening?
Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balms can be purchased at www.clinique.com for $15.

PUT ON YOUR BEST EVENING FACE
PRODUCT: LORAC Evening Out Complexion Kit
A flawless evening finish needs to stay looking great all night long - which means no oily shine or makeup meltdown. Luckily, our friends at LORAC have come up with the perfect solution: the Evening Out Complexion Kit. It comes in a sleek gunmetal case and it’s no bigger than a smart phone, so it it will fit perfectly in the tiniest of evening bags.  The kit features two creamy concealers and a smooth powder foundation, which are exactly the products I love to use on a daily basis. I want a concealer to cover blemishes and spots and a powder to even overall skin tone and give me that airbrushed look.
The LORAC Evening Out Complexion Kit in Light was wonderful for me. The concealers are the perfect shades for my skin and are silky smooth, covering all my problem spots. The powder does not have that dreaded powdery look that other ones tend to have, and the best part is that my skin looks great several hours after putting it on… no reapplying needed! I also love the puff applicator for the powder. It feels so nice against my skin.
Make sure you pick up the LORAC Evening Out Complexion Kit before your next night out and add one less worry to your list. Picking out your shoes, on the other hand…
Purchase it on www.loraccosmetics.com for $38.

JUSTIN BIEBER PERFUME HITS ALL THE RIGHT NOTES
PRODUCT: SOMEDAY by JUSTIN BIEBER
Okay, I’ll admit it: I’ve got a case of Bieber fever. I have all the classic symptoms. Weak in the knees when I hear his songs, a pitter patter of the heart when I see him on TV, and a need to know what’s going on in his world. Somehow that 17-year-old crooner has captured my heart, and there’s no turning back now.
Naturally, most adults my age (or any age, really) would probably snicker at the thought of wearing Justin Bieber perfume, but before you pass judgment, you should try it for yourself. The Someday by Justin Bieber perfume smells exactly the way perfume should smell: it’s a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy. It has notes of mandarin, pear, and wild berries, as well as jasmine and vanilla. I’m officially hooked. It lingers on my skin all day. The scent is not overpowering and yet stands out. It may sound weird to say that a fragrance designed by a 17-year-old boy exudes sexiness, but I simply can’t deny—THIS is the perfume to spritz on before a date.
Aside from smelling great, the bottle is gorgeous and looks awesome on your nightstand. Take one whiff and you just might catch Bieber fever yourself.
Find Someday by Justin Bieber ($45) at Sephora stores and online at www.sephora.com. Net profits from the perfume are going directly to charity.
