In stores, that is. Though luckily for the human population, the Urban Decay Naked3 Palette has been restocked since all 17,000 palettes in the first batch sold out in a matter of hours last December. This palette features pinks, golds and mauves in a variety of finishes from super-sparkly to matte. The rosy undertones won't wash out fairer complexions, and they'll add warmth to darker skin tones. Bonus: Gonzalez says you can use the pinker shades as blush on fair skin tones, and for darker skin tones some of the more golden shades can be used as a highlighter for the cheekbones and brow bone.

The lip gloss with built-in cult status
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 15 years, you've probably heard about Nars Orgasm blush -- a peachy pink hue with a golden sheen that Gonzalez says instantly brightens your face. The cult shade has now made its way into a lip gloss, which was recently reformulated with silkier texture and a new applicator for a more precise pout. The combination of cool pink and warm peach makes it flattering on all skin tones. Just remember to prime your lips with lip balm first, says Gonzalez. This allows for a better application of all lip glosses.

The how-did-I-live-without-this hair treatment
Shiny and frizz-free top the list of adjectives we want to be able to accurately use when describing our hair. But typical in-salon straightening treatments that promise us the hair of our dreams are fueled by formaldehyde and other nasty chemicals. Which is why Cezanne's new Perfect Finish Keratin Smoothing Treatment is different -- it uses a formaldehyde-free blend of keratin, sericin (the protein silkworms create when they're making silk) and glycolic acid to straighten the hair from inside the shaft, instead of just coating it. The treatment zaps unwanted frizzies and makes hair shiny without turning it too straight or, worse, flat. And since your hair is easier to manage, you won't have to depend so much time using damaging styling tools.
