Pampering yourself titillates your mood, your look and, consequently, your onlookers. Our favorite beauty products take it to the next level, ensuring the application process is – literally – invigorating.

DuWop Lip Venom, $16
You don’t need a plastic surgeon to get the plumpest pout on the block. Coat your lips and watch the blood-vessel-dilating technology work its voodoo. As the tingling takes over (don’t worry, it only lasts a few minutes), you’ll watch your mouth rise to the occasion.
Buy it at: www.sephora.com

Le Sabon Body Scrub, $30
It smells tasty, but we wouldn’t recommend eating this Dead Sea salt scrub that’s enhanced with macadamia and almond oils for spa-worthy exfoliation and moisturizing. Instead, visit rapture on your skin in the comfort of your shower twice a week. People go nuts over this stuff, and it’s constantly selling out – so stock up, trust us.
Buy it at: Le Sabon shops in New York, Chicago, and Boston, or at www.lesabon.com

MAC Fluidline, $15
This pot-o-eyeliner comes in basic brown and black, as well as in a variety of shades in the blue, purple, silver and green spectrum. It won't come off, ever! Don’t be intimidated by the gel, it’s easy to apply with a small eyeliner brush. Just a little “dip and stroke” and not only are you good for hours, but you’ll be instantly gratified by the proof of your hand-eye coordination.

Chanel Inimitable Mascara, $27.50
Chanel’s gone OCD with this one. A sophisticated formula and careful brush design lengthen, plump and curl so meticulously that each and every lash is perfectly separated and defined with architectural precision.

NARS Orgasm Blush, $25
The finely milled Orgasm is excellent for a tender flush, and is most effective on light skin. Additionally, Crazed and Deep Throat work well on any skin tone. Those NARS folks sure seem to have a good time naming makeup. The compact doesn’t hold an applicator brush, but it’s the price a dame must pay for that “after-bed” glow.

Essie Nail Polish, $8
An award-winning cocktail party for your fingers. Some of our favorites are Ballet Slippers, Alligator Purse, A Lot of Shekels and Bikini With A Martini. But why not get them all, or at least the six-pack ($45)?
