Seeing as though you've got your Christmas shopping organised early this year (or maybe you can just pretend), it's only fair you buy yourself something special for the festive season. There's some lovely new products on shelf this month, as well as some Summer saviours to help keep you looking beautiful throughout the warmer months. Let's roll!

If there's one thing we know from looking at this week's beauty round-up, it's that the bold lip is a makeup trend that's here to stay. Alexa Chung, Rihanna and Kristen Stewart let their lips do all the talking, and we think it totally paid off for them. Going all the way when it came to staying natural, Lara Bingle gave us a lesson in how to do nude makeup the right way — and her couldn't take our eyes off her beautiful ice-blue eyes as a result. French actress Berenice Marlohe went the other way with some seriously heavy eyeshadow playing up her big eyes, while Ashley Greene went for a soft and feminine look. One thing they all had in common? They all looked beautiful. Click through the gallery to see who rounds out the top 10 and copy the looks at home!

Eye gloss. Lid lacquer. You may or may not have heard of it, but let us assure you that it is very much a thing, and it happens to be having a very shiny moment (ahem, Kate Bosworth rocked it while in Sydney!). Many makeup artists attribute glossy eyelids as the secret finishing touch on photo shoots, and while they normally use professional methods and techniques with rescue balms, there's also a range of gloss products specifically developed for the eyes that will give you that same dewy finish, minus the sticky feeling. Our pro tip? Apply to the lid only, not the crease. Or, for a more low-key look, apply only to the outer corners of the eyes. We love the look best with matte skin and matte lipstick, along with lashings of mascara. So simple, but oh so effective. Get your shine on with our top five.

When the people we're watching are models, celebrities and performers, we're often faced with gorgeous look after gorgeous look. But this week was a whole new ball game — with model-studded events, celebrity outings and parties coming up to our ears, we had so many beautiful looks to choose from we almost gave up! Don't worry, we pulled through — and in this gallery are the Top 10 most delicious, divine and downright stunning looks we saw on our favourite famous people this week. Lara Bingle leads with the way with her perfect skin, sexy red lip and that ear cuff, fans of The Hills will be stoked to see Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port reunited once more (at least, in this gallery!) and Olivia Palermo nearly blinded us with those shiny, shiny locks of hers. We haven't even mentioned the models yet! Get clicking, and you'll find our favourite looks, plus details on exactly how to achieve them. Enjoy!

Just one quick glance at this week's roundup of the best celebrity beauty looks tells us everything we need to know about up-and-coming hair and makeup trends. Keen to know what's on the ever-so-beautiful horizon? Bright lips are here to stay — only, they've taken on a more matte turn, and are looking sexier than ever (think just-bitten looks like Phoebe Tonkin's, and loud statements like Annabella Barber). Long, lustrous hair is in, so if you've got it, flaunt it — just like Sofia Vergara and Kristen Stewart did over the week. And eyes? Well, if they aren't making statements, we don't know what is. Click through the gallery to see who rocked some serious eye art recently, and discover exactly what needs to be on your beauty radar now. Go on, it's so pretty in there!

At a joint showing with Christopher Esber at New York fashion week, Australian fashion superstar Kym Ellery presented with long, gritty hair, with help from Headlines Hairpieces. Hair director Ryan Taniguchi used the extensions to add volume, resulting in a rounded ponytail that helped set-off the structured tailoring we've come to love in Ellery's designs. The makeup look was created by Lottie Stannard for Jane Iredale, and had an equally raw and edgy theme, with a focus on contoured cheeks and a wet brow. Click through to get the entire look.
