One of the best parts of going to Fashion Week is the "gift bag." It's shameful to admit such greed, but it's true.

Inside of the generous bag put together by the folks at Mercedes-Benz, I received a lip palette by Smashbox. I swear I will never have to buy another tube of lipstick again.

This ultra-thin palette contains 18 lip colors from nude shades to a stunning classic red. The kit even comes with a lip brush, and not just one of those tiny ones. This brush is full-sized.

So far, I have tested out the red, nude, and clear glitter color and have been pleased by the results. The lip color doesn't go on too heavy like a traditional lipstick and it isn't at all sticky like a lip gloss. The staying power isn't too shabby either; I had to re-apply about halfway through the workday.

You can buy this palette online for $39 (retails at $60). With a price like that you should definitely pick one up for yourself and another for a friend.
