Although we don't even want to think about the festive season yet, the beauty world is already obsessed. So, it's inevitable that our Christmas list is getting bigger by the hour.
Today's new entry? bareMinerals' range of red gift sets. There's four in total including Things That Make You Glow, £59 and The Golden Touch Mini Brush Collection, £26. We love them all.
Ask any make-up artist, and they'll tell you that defined eyebrows will really enhance any look. Not sure where to start though? Well, we love a good eyebrow kit.
Both of these handy kits feature mini tweezers (to get, and maintain, the perfect brow shape), shaping wax (prevents flyaway hairs), shaping powder and an angle blending brush. But, one gives you change from a tenner.
Which one gets your vote? Let us know below.

MAC Cosmetics has been knocking out the edgy collections lately. Last week we showed you their Johnny Weir-fronted Glitter and Ice collection, and now they're revealing their latest collaboration - with designer Gareth Pugh.
"When creating my makeup collection with MAC I wanted it to be unexpected - creating something truly beautiful, very sophisticated, and incredibly chic but of course - with an underlying edge of darkness and attitude," Pugh said.
Exciting news...
Things have been busier than ever behind the scenes here at Kiss and Makeup lately, and we can now tell you that there are big changes afoot: our parent company Aigua Media is about to give all of its sites a dramatic makeover, and we plan to mark the occasion in suitably glamorous style.
Having worked our socks off to get the launch under way, the team here at Aigua is looking forward to letting our hair down for one night only at an exclusive venue in Central London. That night is Wednesday 2nd November, and we'd like one reader to take on the task of covering the event for us: in other words acting as our official guest blogger for the night - taking advantage of our hospitality for the night while mingling with our VIP guests.
This is a fabulous opportunity for anyone who wants to make it big in the dynamic world of fashion and beauty blogging, and in return we'll offer you exclusive coverage of our industry event. No other bloggers are being invited (not even those who've crossed the boundary into full-on media stardom), so you'll be the only one to get the scoop.
While we're all for DIY nail art, time is not on our side this week as Halloween fast-approches. So, when we stumbled across these Nail Rock Metallic Moon Design Wraps, we were sold.
Three reasons why we love them? Firstly, no faff and no fuss. Just glue them on and go. Second, they're office-appropriate so you can party in them and rock them for actual Halloween (next Monday). And thirdly, if you haven't got time to sort a costume, at least your nails will look the part.
Halloween = done. Next!
Nail Rock Metallic Moon Design Wraps, £6.65 available at Nailrock.com.
While the video above doesn't tell you much, there is indeed a new pill-form perfume coming to the market. Swallowable Perfume (couldn't they have come up with a better name?) is a capsule containing synthetic fragrant lipid molecules that mimic the structure of the fat molecules naturally found in the body. When those lipids get metabolized by the body's enzymes, fragrant molecules are released and excreted through the skin's surface through perspiration. The strength of the resulting scent is determined by the individual's acclimatization to temperature, stress, exercise, or sexual arousal.
The personalization of it is neat, but I'm already worried about inhaling the chemicals in my perfume, I don't know about swallowing them. What do you think? Tell us in the comments below.
