We clearly don't have as much clout as Ms. Winfrey, but that's not going to stop us from sharing our list of coveted items. So without further ado …

1. Essie “Love, Beverly Hills xx” Nail Polish: Maybe our LA address makes us biased, but the red/gold (real 24k) polish is gorgeous.

Holidays are coming and you know what that means -- lots of photos. While we can't help if someone takes a shot of you mid-bite or chugging egg nog, here are a few tips for those slightly more planned photos:

Confession: I wore last year's LBD to multiple holiday parties (shhhh). What saved me were these celeb hair and makeup looks -- I wore a different one for each shindig... a whole new look for zero cash! Will any of these work for your office party? If so, get the full scoop here.

OK, so beauty products like these can be great, easy gifts. But that doesn't mean everything in Sephora is fair game. A few things you should never buy for someone else:

This isn't a new look for Mary Kate, but I still must ask: Is this the remains of last night's makeup? Defective mascara? Or could it be on purpose? I need to know.

While watching the finale of "Survivor" on Sunday (don't judge, it's an addiction), I couldn't help noticing: the women all look great during the season with no makeup, but they tend to look drag-queeny all done up for the reunion show. Why do they always overdo it? It's so not necessary.
