We already revealed the entire Nars collection, and I flipped through it a dozen times trying to choose a favorite. It wasn't an easy process, but this Velvet Matte Lip Pencil is my top pick from the bunch. These pencils feel silky, wear beautifully, and really last. This one's the perfect shade of fuchsia-red.

I'm a Gemini, which means I'm regularly torn between two opposite choices, and picking a YSL eye shadow palette was no exception. The "Arty" version is loud and edgy; the "Classy" one contains wear-them-daily neutrals. The verdict? Go for both. Even if you don't believe in astrology hocus pocus, trust me: you'll use them.

Lip gloss is back! Not that it ever really went away, but mark my words, you'll be seeing a lot of slick glosses soon. For Fall 2013, Lorac is launching five new extra-glimmery shades. From barely-there nude to bright red, they cover the complete range of gloss colors.

The entire fall collection from Smashbox is called Fade to Black, and this palette illustrates the concept perfectly. There are seven colors that range from shimmery white to super-saturated black. After seeing the punk/vamp looks on runways in Paris, I can promise you won't neglect a single pan this fall if you're on trend.

If you're planning to buy one new blush this fall, this is the one. The packaging is uber-glamorous, and you get four colors (bronze, coral, pink, and fuchsia) that can be dusted on individually or blended together. So really, it's five hues for the price of one.
