You’re jonesing for a new necklace, and if you don’t update your lip color soon, you fear your pout might permanently morph into that tired pale-pink hue. You only have 15 minutes to shop, so what do you do? Well, you could attempt to do an Olympic sprint from the accessories department to the cosmetics counter, praying that the fashion and beauty gods are on your side. Or, you could slow down—maybe even grab a cappuccino—and invest in a new trend: the all-in-one, cosmetics-filled accessory.

The Perfume Watch by Venexx ($180; sephora.com) not only keeps the time, but also ensures that its wearer smells delicious at all hours of the day and night. Simply fill the small opening in the back with perfume (the scent that comes with the watch or your own favorite fragrance), and spritz away. For lustrous lips without the hassle of digging through your purse to find your gloss, try the limited-edition Exotic Jewels Flirt pendant by Serena Williams ($12.50; kohls.com)—just slide the jewel aside, and apply. Or, for a superchic cosmetic accessory, check out Dior’s limited-edition Gourmette ($70; sephora.com, shown). The bracelet, which follows the brand’s cosmetic ring and key chain launches last year, is packed with two shimmering shades of Dior Addict Ultra Gloss for the perfect after-dark accessory.

And finally, for the girl-on-the-go, there’s an array of lip-gloss key chains designed to keep your pucker looking luscious when you’re out and about. Encased in a clear, heart-shaped container, Lola Cosmetics Key Chain Lip Gloss ($6; sephora.com) is made with green-tea extract, mint, and jojoba, while Hard Candy’s Key to My Heart Lipgloss (sephora.com; $6) is sure to look just as sweet on your lips as it will hanging from your belt loop. In both cases, they guarantee you’ll never be without sheen again—unless, of course, you lose your keys. —Marissa Kristal

    I'm all over the Dior Gourmette and the lip gloss key rings. The perfume watch kind of scares me though.

    I have the Hard Candy lipgloss and it rocks!
