I love blotting papers. The minute I see a glimmer of shine on my nose or forehead, I pull one out of its compact little envelope and blot. Now, I can have the same reflex with my hair thanks to Kérastase Carré Lissant Hairstyle Touch-up Sheets, $28. A halo of frizz? Static? An over-dry-shampooed dullness? These sheets cure it all. They're perfectly sized -- somewhere between a blotting paper and a dryer sheet -- and they're scented with grapefruit, rose and a hint of musk. They're also ideal for travel (hands off, TSA!), and they're the first of their kind. I'm anticipating lots of copycats -- just like with blotting papers.

If you want to put cucumber slices on your eyes, go for it. They work. Cucumber depuffs, tightens and brightens your eyes in no time. However, I've always found the experience to be kind of slimy and extremely limiting -- just try making breakfast while you've got cucumbers stuck to your face. It's not happening. That's where Korres De-Puffing Cucumber Eye Mask, $16, comes in. It's basically liquefied cucumber in a tube along with calming calendula and chamomile. You apply a thin layer around your eyes and wear it as an eye mask (while you cook, check email … or relax), and when you rinse it off, your eyes look just as refreshed as if you'd used the real thing.

The holidays are swiftly approaching (crazy, I know), and that means holiday parties, party dresses and -- my favorite -- holiday makeup. If you want to make it extremely easy on yourself, just buy this one thing: the Shiseido Sparkling Party Palette, $50 -- and wear any old festive frock you've got lying around. There's so much amazingness in this palette, it will completely transform your look. There's a pretty red cream that can be used on cheeks and lips, a super flattering coral blush, champagne highlighter, shimmery gold and brown shadows and an inky blue that's gorgeous as liner. Plus, the jewel-adorned top is truly a stunner -- if only it held a cell phone, it could double as a clutch.

As I've gotten older, my hair has gotten thinner. And I've become extremely paranoid about hair loss -- as in balding. The average person loses about 100 hairs a day from natural shedding, and while I've never actually counted the hairs in my brush, I've been tempted. So when I heard that Alterna Haircare Caviar Clinical Daily Densifying Foam, $36, could save me up to 1,300 strands a month, I started doing the math (if I lose 3,000 strands a month now, I could save more than a third of those) and started using the foam. It gives my hair body and softness and I think I've already noticed a difference in the amount I'm shedding. It might be all in my head (pun intended), but I'm much less tempted to count the strands in my brush, and that's worth a lot.

If you've ever tried to achieve the "sucking on a popsicle" lip look (makeup enthusiasts know what I'm talking about, right?), then you've probably used stains, lipsticks and saturated balms -- only to fall short of the ultimate goal. The result either looks like you're wearing product (which it shouldn't) or it doesn't last through lunch. Meme Time on My Lip in Pink, $12, is the popsicle-lip lip stain we've all been looking for. It's a watery stain in a bright pink shade, and even when it's freshly applied, it looks like it's been there for a while. Naturally, it's imported from Korea -- leave it to those beauty geniuses to finally crack the code.
