• Serenade -- golden red (weekend brunch color)
  
• Coquette -- pink mauve (tasteful day wear)
  
• Rendezvous -- brown reddish (dramatic night out)

Many of us gals have been the victim of expired cosmetics. Here's the scenario. After seeing pics of that smokin' gloss we used to wear in high school, we rush to our beauty closet only to open the tube to a rank stank that we don't understand. Most beauty products do not have any smell, or if they do, it is very faint. If you start noticing some product BO, it's because that favorite gloss is dying a slow, bacteria-invested death in that dark, tightly sealed tube. Once the product has peaked, it can cause some pretty gross irritations or infections if used. To avoid all of the above, follow these general toss time guidelines.

I'm not sure how often most women find themselves stuck in the dark and desperate to apply some lip gloss, but -- just in case that ever happens -- ModelCo has a new product just for you: the Lip Light.

The only difference between this and normal lip gloss is that there's a small LED light hidden in the lid, so it shines on your lips while you're applying. Novel, sure, but probably not all that useful outside of your favorite dimly-lit nightclub. Even then -- how hard is to find your mouth?

That said, the little light might come in handy for other things, like digging through your purse, or, um ... Ok, so I can't think of anything else you'd use this for. But it's lip gloss -- and it lights up!
