If variety is the spice of life, this ingenious palette from Sugar Cosmetics is the beauty addict's jalapeno. Featuring a handy collapsible design, the kit ($38; sephora.com) contains a whopping 16 eye shadows and 12 lip glosses, along with a peachy blush, a golden bronzer, and a pink highlighter. Plus, it comes with various brushes, sponge-tip applicators, and a mirror so you can blend your chosen hues with ease and precision. Some of my favorite shadows include Champagne (a shimmery nude), Soft Green (a glistening moss), and Pewter (a sexy gunmetal). And even more impressive are the glosses--sweetly scented sheer and glittery glazes that range from barely there pink to rich plum. Regardless your favorite shades, though, the palette's greatest appeal is in the variety it affords (we haven't done the math, but the color combos are virtually endless) and, of course, the fact that you can store an entire season's worth of makeup in one sleek foldout. --J.
