The fanciest lip gloss in town

This is not something I’d ever have come up with, but you have to hand it to the people at Quo: the idea works. Their new Night Light Lip Gloss ($15), available at Shoppers Drug Mart, features not only a mirror on the side of the tube, but a light inside the wand that activates when you unscrew the lid. The mirror is handy for all of us (not just for gloss reapplication, but also for checking teeth post-meal), and the light is perfect for anyone who likes to keep their lips freshly glossed, even in the dark. (I did test it and the combination of the light and the mirror really does make application easy.)

Oh, and the gloss itself? I tested Big Ben Blush, a sparkly pink, and I love it—the pink shade itself is fairly natural, but the glitter dresses it up and stays on your lips even when the gloss itself has faded.
