At BeautyXposé, Anne was smitten with holiday collections of mineral shadows, liners, and glosses from Bare Escentuals. They may be the perfect gift sets - if you can bear to part with them.
Sabrina at The Beauty Look Book decided YSL's Touche d'Or Highlighter and Colorama Palette gave her a gorgeous golden glow for the holidays. I like them too, and I think our coloring is very different. Will these highlighters make you a YSL convert, if you're not already?

See any must-haves in the roundup?
Read the YSL review in Beauty Look Book - I agree with her regarding the Touche D'Or, but cannot believe she doesn't like the Touche Eclat - a must have in my makeup bag. I use it for everything - making my lips look fuller, sculpting my cheekbones, making my eyes pop by applying it beneath and above my eyes, etc. It is indispensible to me, but to each his own. I saw it wielded like a samurai sword by a makeup artist who was working on a bride - literally, she would swoop her arm down, click click, apply, swoop, click click - apply, it was amazing!
