Givenchy Holiday Makeup is the New Must-Have Holiday Accessory

This year, the party season's biggest designer accessories, may not be handbags, shoes orjewelry, but designer makeup. Purchasing a beautifully packaged and luxurious lipgloss costs far less than a couture gown, but it's a way to wear something fashionable and high-end without going broke. One venerable designer synonymous with everything chic, is Hubert de Givenchy. The photo above is a quick view of the Givenchy 2008 holiday collection

Givenchy's Pop Gloss Crystal $22.50 in two special, limited edition shades (there are 20 other shades) is my favorite holiday "must-have." The gloss makes me feel special every time I apply it, but still in control of my budget. The limited edition, only-at-Sephora holiday shades are: "Plum by Night" that coats lips with glittery shimmer, shine, glam and a deep, sexy berry; and "Rose by Night," a light, shimmery pink that gives you lips that look as luscious as "Angelina's" without any effort at all.

This silky, shiny gloss arrives in a sleek, square, clear, wanded tube, and the limited edition shades for this season feature bunches of starry fireworks, festively surrounding the tube and the shiny, black cap. The gloss is so lightweight on your lips you won't remember you have it on. However, while it's beautifying your lips, it's benefitting them with moisturizers, and castor oil and an exclusive, good-for-your-lips "Pulp Shine Complex" with active ingredients that help make lips actually look more vibrant. The gloss also features " Vitalip" to exfoliate and stimulate new cells. During the colder months, this is especially important if you don't want cracked, dull, rough looking lips (and who, does?)

Another good to have product from Givenchy is the Mister Bright Touch Of Light Pen $31.50. A black-bodied, silvery-topped click it pen with brush is a fusion of a concealer and highlighter in one soft-bristled pen. The Givenchy Touch of Light Pen in "Dawnlight" features a pearly-pink tint and particles of pink mother of pearl. It's mightier than a sword, when helping you to undo some of the tell-tale signs of late night revelry. It works to fade imperfections and draw the eye's attention away from lines, spots, and shadows. Use this clean-easy, tote-able, effective product to illuminate the inner corners of your eyes to illuminate, reduce the look of dark circles, or to add a strategic glow to your face.
