Let’s face it though, after two decades of shimmer and shine you’ve added quite a collection of non-matte products to your collection, right? Thankfully, there’s no need to dump your favorite lipsticks, or spend a fortune updating your collection. [Read more…] about Cargo Cosmetics Matte Top Coat
[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample, Affiliate Links[/button]I LOVE LOVE LOVE to help you shop readers. This you already know! So I’m having a little fun, and pulled together a fun collection of great Valentine’s Day Gifts you can buy for a friend or family member. Or perhaps even **cough cough** drop hints that you would love something from this list yourself!
Starting on top row:
1) Estee Lauder Shimmering Confetti Powder Compact ($125). This gorgeous little gift is filled with translucent (and refillable) pressed powder. The deep pink color makes it a wonderful Valentine’s Gift, and the confetti design is cheerful and festive. Click HERE to grab one at Nordstrom.
2) Hot off the presses, the Laura Mercier Watercolor Mist Eye & Cheek Palette ($58) is filled with romantic colors that will carry any makeup lover through the summer. Laura Mercier is also hosting a SALE today, and the more you spend the more you’ll save! Click HERE to shop LauraMercier.com.
3) The Salvatore Ferragamo Gancini Icona Heart Coin Purse ($280) will remind her all year long that you love her (and store her pesky coins in style). The Saffiano Leather this coin purse is made of can gracefully take a beating. It’s available in other colors, but I love the feminine Fleur Bleu shown here. Click HERE to buy it at Shopbop.
4) NARS Audacious Lipstick ($32). What better gift for your bestie? Buy a lavish red or a deep pink to treat her to a glamourous color she might not pick for herself. Click HERE to shop NARS.
5) Ann Taylor ($39) is offering this adorable little top that substitutes hearts for polka dots. The overall look isn’t too cutesy. Somehow, Ann Taylor has given hearts a modern, geometric look! Click HERE to shop AnnTaylor.com.
6) Ever since I first spotted the Tory Burch Monogram Flat Thong ($125, $10 per charm) it has been on my must-have list. What a practical (and fun) Valentine’s Day gift! Pick Masai Red, and then add charms to say “I HEART U” in the most adorable way. Click HERE to shop ToryBurch.com.

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]I buy and rebuy these fabulous knotted ponlytailers by Scunci. They are such a simple, sleek way to create a ponytail, and this little bitty set from Scunci offers 6 hair ties in varying colors and prints to complement your style.
The 80s girl in me can’t help but smile at the fact that Scunci is still big when it comes to hair accessories. I owned a million “Scuncis” back in my teens, when the brand was synonymous with a large, colorful, scrunched up elastic fabric to tie back a ponytail. My favorite color Scunci, circa 1988? Red (rouge), or course!
Scunci products can be found in Walmart, Duane Reade, and CVS stores. Price varies.

Not where Estee Lauder is concerned, however! When I heard Estee planned to update their line of Double Wear Stay In Place Eye Pencils, I was so excited! They rank high on my list of the Best Estee Lauder Products, and I knew the brand would only make them better.
The color? Rich and intense. The staying power is what makes these a must-own. After applying these pencils I smudge them with a smudge brush, and give the color time to set. Once in place, these pencils deliver incredible, smudge-proof, long lasting wear. Yes, they are literally “stay in place” eye pencils!
So what has changed with the New Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Eye Pencil? The color is even more intense than the Double Wear Eye Pencils of yesteryear. To me the color looks more glossy than the finish of the previous pencils. Comparing the new Onyx vs. the old Onyx, the look now has a more “wet” appearance vs. the smokier Onyx the old formula delivered. The smudge-tip is now an angled foam that’s more dense than the sponge tip used previously.
Retail price is $23 per pencil. If you’re looking for more product recommendations, be sure to visit my Best Estee Lauder Products guide.
