Givenchy Le Prisme Mono Eyeshadow in Or Céleste
Inside this tiny eyeshadow compact you'll find a rich gold shade in four finishes: matte, pearly, iridescent and glittery. Mix them all together, wear each individually or use the various textures on different areas. (We like the matte shade on our brow bone, the shimmer on our lids, and just a touch of the sparkle in our inner corners.)

Olay Ribbons Body Wash
Shimmer powders can leave more glitter on your bathroom floor than on your body, but the mica particles in this creamy wash make skin look luminous—minus the mess. Use this before slipping into a strapless dress or skin-baring blouse. But if there's a man who shares your shower, warn him about its sparkly side effects. (The husband of one of our editors took this soap for a test drive one morning and showed up at his office looking very...radiant.)
