Most of the time, I want a perfume for the unique scent, and I don't pay much attention to the bottle. With Annick Goutal Tenue de Soirée, $190, I love it for the bottle -- and the fur pompom! -- first and the scent second. But of course the scent is reason enough to be obsessed: It's a sweet, warm floral you can wear to any occasion. It's young and fresh, but appropriate for a woman any age. (And the pompom!)

Tinted Chapstick
People use Chapstick as a generic term for all sorts of lip balms, but the original Chapstick is something special and truly nostalgic. Chapstick Total Hydration Moisture + Tint, $4.99, is a new twist on a basic Chapstick. It hydrates with rosehip and jojoba oils and avocado butter, and it comes in three pretty shades. While the color is a full-on tint (we're not talking minimal color here), it's not so much that you need a mirror. (Tip: This Chapstick is exclusive to Target through the end of the year.)

Brow Bulker
My typical brow routine involves pencil, powder and gel -- it takes as much time as all my other makeup combined. Maybelline Brush on 3D Brow Perfection, $9.99, lets me do everything in a single step. It tints, fills and holds better than any one product I've tried. It's infused with fibers that adhere to each brow hair -- and even skin -- to make brows look fuller, and you can use the tip of the brush to draw the product onto sparse areas.

Face Oil Like Food
Two trends that aren't going anywhere anytime soon: face oil and superfoods. Elemis Superfood Facial Oil, $72, combines the two in a superhydrating, lightweight oil that's made with things like daikon radish, flax, and broccoli seed oils. It's high in antioxidants and omegas to protect and nourish skin, and it smells like a delicious salad.
