So you know how yesterday I mentioned the limited edition Revlon Spice It Up collection for holiday 2011 also had some cool nail enamels? Well I got two of them for ya today!

There are eight total in the collection, but I happen to think these are the stunners.

• Vanished – Pale bronze-y gold shimmer
• Ignite – Bright shimmery orange
• Mistletoe – Deep evergreen with shimmer
• Cheers – Soft pale pink
• Glitz Glam – Glittery raspberry
• Snow Bunny – Shimmery icy white
• Spice It Up – Shimmery brick red
• Decadent – Shimmery royal purple

These are all Top Speed Fast Dry enamels, which I don’t mind because they do dry super speedy and seem to last as long on me as anything else. Both were a medium consistency and just two coats.

Do you have a perfume lover on your holiday gift list this year? If so, they may be interested in the super cute, limited edition Benefit Crescent Row set.

This collection comes with four different mini bottles of their eau de toilette scents. It comes in a really cute box also, each bottle nestled in its own themed “room”.

The scents included are:

• Laugh with me LeeLee – citrus, jasmine and lily blossoms
• My Place or Yours Gina – pink pepper, wild raspberry and patchouli
• Garden of Good & Eva – pear, jasmine and freesia
• Ring my Bella – lily, jasmine and vanilla

The bottles are each 0.34 oz, so they are kind of the perfect size for someone who wants a variety of scents and options, but doesn’t want to spend the money on full sized bottles of each.

• Eggnog – Pale ballet pink nude
• Cheers – Bright shimmery fuchsia pink
