The Grooviest Blush of the Year and 7 Other Products We Love
O's beauty director, Valerie Monroe, on what you need...and what you'll love.
When I was little, my piano teacher rewarded me for disciplined practicing with one of her ultrathin No. 2 pencils; I called them skinny pencils. I'm not sure why I loved them (because I was a skinny kid?), but they made writing more fun. So when the Clinique people stopped by to show me their new Skinny Sticks ($16.50; Clinique.com)—superfine eyeliner pencils in nine easy-to-wear colors—I was more than a little eager to see whether the "skinny" magic lived on. It does. The fine tip (no sharpener needed) glides along smoothly, leaving a clean line of pigment that emphasizes and adds depth to your eyes. Another rewarding experience! — Val Monroe
