Lighten up

This built-in LED light-up lipgloss was designed to aid beauty babes everywhere in our fight against 2012. No power? No problem. Not only will we be able to efficiently apply our gloss, but we will also be able to use it as a makeshift flashlight in case the fam forgot to stock up on batteries. Score!

Keep the shine alive with dry shampoo and hey, did ya know dry shampoo could double as deodorant? Two-in-one!
