There's little more magical and old-Hollywood than The Wizard of Oz. And glittery glam nail polish is just what the holiday season calls for. China Glaze must agree, as they've rereleased their Wizard of Ohh Ahz Collection from 2001 for Christmas 2009. The color above is fittingly named Ruby Pumps. Other colors in the collection include The Ten Man (silver frost with silver glitter), Cowardly Lyin' (metallic gold), Good Witch (pink frost with pink glitter), C-C-Courage (purple frost with purple glitter) and Dorothy Who? (blue with lots of blue and silver glitter).
The consensus seems to be that these polishes are good for some sparkle, but it's not like crazy glittery. It's also been pointed out that it seems weird not to have a green color inspired by the Emerald City. Other than the ruby slippers that's the most iconic color memory of the film!

Images of Chanel's Spring 2010 makeup collection - Les Impressions de Chanel - have hit the Web and I'm digging the sandy campaign photos and muted spring colors. You don't often see gray, clay-like hues in a spring color collection but the shade seems to make it into a nail vernis and eye shadow which I'm very excited about. At right is a face powder from the line, but for the really juicy pics keep reading.

Can you imagine a world without NARS products- or more accurately, without the famous NARS Orgasm? No, me neither. But if you were born before 1995 you'd have grown up without this beloved brand in your makeup bag.
To celebrate that it has reached the age of a sulky teen, NARS is releasing a limited edition eye palette. It's called Everlasting Love to symbolize their enduring properties, with a mixture of smoky shades and rich hues that you'd expect from a NARS product.

The ubiquitous blonde has rarely put a foor wrong in the last fifty years. Despite practically sharing a birthday with Madonna, she remains equally line free and svelte,with her only concession to age being slightly widened eyes, and an ever changing variety of hairstyles. The doll has always symbolized energy, attractivness and sex, so a makeup line seems a natural transition. Previously we've seen two very high profile campaigns- the fab Barbie/MAC mash up of 2007 and the recent Stila set which combines products in gorgeously printed tins.
My colleague mentioned the fab eyelashes on offer, but I decided you guys would want to see even more.

I have to admit that when it comes to the mythical desserts trolley, I'm far more excited by good old-fashioned puds covered in sticky toffee sauce and custard as I am in artfully-made cupcakes. Comfort food is always popular during times of economic slump, and I'm certainly not complaining about that!
But if you don't want to suffer the health effects of eating custard every day, you might want to try putting it on your body instead. 'Good enough to eat' body treats come and go, and I've tried some real shockers in my time (let us never speak again of Ann Summers chocolate body paint) but Just Desserts Body Custard is something else entirely. The scent is indistinguishable from the real thing (chocolate souffllé being our absolute fave) and provides a decadent sensory experience that helps you to relax as it comforts and treats the skin. The perfect ingredient for a girl's night in, each tub is just £2.99 from the Just Desserts kitchen.

Even the most devoted pink lip gloss girl can get swayed by the perfect red lipstick come holiday. Estee Lauder's "Ultimate Red" lip products are inspired by the soft silk of a luxurious gown and come in Simply Red and Cranberry, or Gold and Blackberry for the less/more adventurous. (Depending on how you look at it.)
The collection features two main looks. They are each built around Limited Edition Signature Eye Shadow Quads, which contain shadows designed to make it easy to build and eye look from soft and subtle warmth to more dramatic, striking effects. The quads come in Gold Opulence and Lavish Plum. Gold opulence is complimented by Gold Opulent Shimmer Gloss and Pure Color Nail Lacquer. The Lavish Plum collection includes Cranberry gloss and Burgundy nail polish.
The collection launched this month in both the US and UK.
See photos of the two collections, as well as some of Estee Lauder's beautiful jeweled compacts, after the jump.

Now I fully admit to being a beauty junkie, buying products for no other reason than they look sparkly and new, and often just because I find the packaging adorable. MAC, Urban Decay and Benefit have basically got a devotee for life out of me, but I can't believe I've never heard of Lime Crime cosmetics before.
They're a USA range of ultra bright lipsticks and shadows encased in adorable hot pink pots, with UNICORNS on them. Yes, that's right, they HAVE FLIPPING UNICORNS on them!! (OK, the Last Unicorn was one of my all-time favorite kids films ever).
