My very first lip plumper is still my favorite. Duwop Lip Venom Original (cost $16) was the also the very first lip plumper on the market, basically creating the lip plumping category in the beauty industry. The tingly gloss uses essential oils to enhance your lips’ natural color and shape by increasing circulation. The result? Fuller “bee stung” lips. The gloss also includes jojoba and avocado oil that moisturize and give your lips an intense glossiness and shine. You end up with a naturally rosy pout that can’t be achieved by wearing ordinary lip gloss. I usually put this as a top-coat over a lip gloss with more color.

UPDATE: There is also 2nd Sin which I guess is the updated version of the original. Click to purchase DuWop Lip Venom 2nd Sin.

Do you ever get annoyed with bar soap sticking to your sink? I do. Especially when I’m traveling, I don’t always know what kinds of things have gone on in that sink (and I probably don’t want to).

Then there is the issue of packing the soap back up when you leave. Great! It was all nice and neat — until you opened it. The answer? Why Clinique Face Soap with Dish of course!

“Dermatologist-backed to meet men’s skin needs.”

Lately my forehead has been shinier than ever. I keep this Little Blot Book by Tarte in my bag for shine control on the go.

Packed with great ingredients like vitamin A, green tea, aloe, and chamomile, this little book is super cute and super discreet.

After years of highlighting and heat styling my fine locks, I’ve always thought that I could use a bit more shine and luster on my dyed, dried and fried hair- and apparently I’m not the only one. According to hair stylist, Frédéric Fekkai, “the number one concern I hear from clients is how to keep hair looking shiny and healthy.” Frederic Fekkai Glossing Sheer Shine Mist just might be the answer to our prayers; this ultra-lightweight mist, infused with pure olive oil extract, achieves a long-lasting, dazzling finish that leaves hair soft and silky.

Lightweight emollients re-hydrate the hair follicles and restore softness and manageability almost instantly after application. Frédéric Fekkai suggests, “to maximize shine every day, gently cleanse and condition…next, rinse hair with cool water to close the cuticle. Apply your favorite styling product…to damp hair and blow-dry using a natural boar bristle brush to bring out shine and eliminate frizz. Finish with a shot of cold air to seal the hair shaft. Finally, spray a light, even layer of Glossing Sheer Shine Mist on dry hair to complete the look and give you lustrous locks.” Truly innovative. Truly Frédéric Fekkai.

Cost: $22.50
