    Decadent beauty doesn't get much more luxurious than pampering your skin with real 24K gold (unless of course, you want to bathe in diamonds, but this is your face we're talking about here). And as a modern makeup maven, you deserve the best... and the prettiest, of course! As a compulsive beauty buyer, I can't help but notice that products featuring shimmer and sparkle are being upgraded lately to include real gold flakes in addition to mica -- both for its glittery shine factor and its role as a skin-aiding mineral. From moisturizing golden hair pomade to solid gold flake sheets for an opaque gilded look, these products certainly give a fresher, much younger connotation to the term "Golden Girl!" Flip through the slideshow for some of my favorite Midas-touched products.

    I know it's only the second day of Christmas, but really, is there anyone out there who wants to receive two turtle doves? I say cut to the chase and get to the real goodies- those five golden rings! Of course, when The Twelve Days of Christmas first appeared as a children's book back in the 1780s, the famous "five golden rings" are rumored to have had nothing to do with jewelry. (Some say they represented the gold rings on a pheasant's neck.) In any case, it didn't take long for men to figure out that women were way more interested in the 14-carat kind of gold wrapped in beautiful packages. In today's economic climate, however, five golden rings does seem a bit excessive, so I'll be happy to settle for just one of these fabulous finds. Click the slideshow and ring in the New Year with one of these gorgeous rings!
