fête à fête

The gals over at Benefit Cosmetics know how to give some good bargains. You don't have to spend a huge fortune on their holiday makeup and you'll end up looking super fab with their party-prepping color sets.

The new Glitz Glam & Gloss set ($26) features 6 new shimmering lip gloss shades. Each gloss comes with a specially-designed soft cushion paddle to make application easy. These glosses also smell like fruity bubble gum.

This set comes in the following colors:

Friends in High Places (sparkling raspberry)
Kiss You (clear fuchsia)
Almost Famous (copper penny)
Zone Out (golden nude)
I'm With The Band (golden pink shimmer)
Fresh-Squeezed (pink grapefruit)

For the gals who travel a lot, the Celebutante Personal Stylist Makeup Kit ($34) contains some of Benefit's most popular makeup products, all in one cute and lightweight travel-ready box. This kit even comes with a mini pamphlet that shows you how to use the makeup, so you don't even have to stress about it. How handy is that? This popular item seems to be sold out on Benefit's website but the HSN site seems to have some kits left, so hurry along before they are totally gone.

This awesome kit includes:

High Beam Complexion Enhancer
Benetint lip and cheek stain
Dallas Face Powder blush & bronzer
Lip Gloss in I'm with the Band (shimmering, pale pink-beige)
Full Finish Lipstick in Lady's Choice (naturally nude)
