Though I'm still convinced that mascara that moves on its own is just a recipe for disaster, I have to admit I'm pretty intrigued by this USB beauty tool, especially as a girl who is rarely without her laptop and her makeup bag. I'm already a big fan of my Sephora heated eyelash curler... but the battery's always drained and it doesn't have the same satisfying squeeze-and-curl action that makes for really luxe lashes. With this device, all you do is plug it in, power it on, and revive lashes pronto! So if you're going to have an emergency stash of back-up makeup at your desk for touch-ups and work (or in preparation for post-work happy hour), this newfangled new beauty-fiend gadget may not be so far-fetched when it comes to practicality!

The device, equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities and 500 preloaded recipes, takes you step-by-step through meal preparation and even teaches you tricky-to-master techniques with tutorial videos.

Anything that helps out Mother Earth, I'm for it! That's why when I spotted these DEFY Bags, I had to check them out. Not only are their bags unique and completely cool, but they also make a statement -- political, social commentary, or just random observations of art and culture in an eye-catching and slightly retro design. And it's not just the way the bags look that make DEFY Bags so hot, it's the fact that they also have a 'go green' attitude. These messenger bags are perfect to carry around pretty much anything you'll need throughout the day and each one is truly individual because artists hand create the picture on the front from old billboard signs. Don't see a picture that expresses the true you? You can design your own flap! Another cool thing to check for after you find the bag that shows your personality the most? Look inside and see just what kind of message the original billboard was selling! Edgy, personal and made of recycled goods, DEFY Bags are worth more than a second glance!

Their bright jade green fingertips took my breath away and I knew it would be the next must-have nail polish color. Fast forward to present day and I'm still trying to find a suitable duplicate of the sold-out shade, so I have to say my heart raced more than a little when I encountered this tempting promotion from Eyeko Makeup. This super cute and affordable makeup company boasts a collection of eyeshadows, mascaras, lip glosses, and nail polish. I've tried their famous Eyeko Cream which gives me a iridescent glow when I don't feel like putting on any makeup. I've returned yet again, to snag a few of their latest nail polishes and discovered they have their own version of a jade green nail polish called Vintage. Best part? It's not even for sale! Instead, they're giving it away to anybody who buys 3 or more Eyeko products (which isn't hard to do). Just enter VINTAGE in the checkout box when you order by Monday 11/23!


Price: free with purchase!

Tweezerman not only boasts the most popular tweezers known to man (a little on the pricey side but definitely worth the splurge!), but now in time for the holidays, the brow experts have just released a collection of limited edition tools, perfect for the makeup maven on your list. This particular winter-inspired style, the Polka Dot Slant Tweezers, are festively cute in red and white, and are encrusted with Swarovski crystals for that extra twinkle. If you're going to opt for a pair of high-end tweezers, you might as well go all out, right?

Blinc's "Fountain of Youthful Color" Eyebrow Mousse not only fills sparse brows with water-resistant, natural-looking color, but also keeps them in place the whole day through and treats skin with its anti-aging and conditioning properties. Plus it comes in six different colors -- from light blonde to black -- to suit just about anyone's brows. Unlike some products that either disappear halfway through the day or have you looking like you drew them on with a marker, this eyebrow mousse will stay put and look natural while it nourishes!

There are no crazy or cutesy shapes like Lego or Sanrio characters, and no three-in-one capabilities like reading lights, alarm clocks or microwaves.

They come in black, white, or silver, but in case you want to take their sleek little design up a notch, they also come with optional color grills for anyone who thinks they're just too cute to stay camouflaged!
