Brand new right now Is a pencil-shaped lip-coloring gadget, filled with creamy lipstick and tipped with a small sable brush, It enables anyone to apply lipstick in the approved Hollywood manner (with a brush) without having to carry both brush and container of lipstick in her bag.
The pencil is filled with lipstick which flows easily when the cap is turned. Turn the cap and the red cream flows out of the pencil Into the center of the brush. You first outline the lips with the brush, then fill In between the lines. Let the color set for a few moments before pressing a piece of cleansing tissue tightly between lips. This last step Is very important. Unless you blot with cleansing tissue, your lips will not have a smooth, evenly colored look.
New, too, are smartly packaged manicure kits that contain everything really needed for a home manicure and absolutely nothing that is useless or useful only now and then. The essentials are handily arranged to avoid waste of materials or time. One company makes an “over knee” kit which
is simply a sturdy band with a pocket at either end, The pockets are filled with manicure Implements and nail preparations. Put the band across your knee and you have everything necessary within easy reach.
For utter chic, there are: lipsticks with your monogram cut out on the case; a gold compact with a lipstick for a clasp; a trio of little perfume bottles in a snowball (nice for Christmas or for your own dressing table).
