Welcome to the gloss·a·ry, a monthly roundup of all that glitters from our own wand-toting shimmer expert, Michelle Carney. Tune in each month for the latest and greatest in pout perfecting products utterly devoted to your sparkly, sexy and oh-so-shiny lips.

Power up pink ladies, it's time to put your money where your mouth is. Remember when everything around town turned orange and black in October? Now we're seeing pink, but it's just as sweet. Keeping with our theme of "Pretty in Pink," this month's gloss·a·ry comes tied with a pink ribbon of support for breast cancer treatment, research and awareness.

The Estée Lauder Pink Ribbon Collection is a long- time supporter of the fight against breast cancer, making a dramatic difference through it's luminous brand of beauty. This year, Estée Lauder will donate $500,000 in connection with the sales of its Pink Ribbon products to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a prevention and research organization founded in 1993 by Evelyn Lauder. Pink Ribbon High Gloss feels especially good on the pucker, lavishing the lips with silky conditioners and shining with an irresistible shade of rosy happiness. Evelyn Pink Crystal Gloss honors the icon herself.

Fall is officially here, which means that your sun-drenched tresses can finally recover from a season's worth of heat, chlorine, and UV exposure. Whether the elements have left your locks frizzy and fried, bleached and brassy, or damaged and dingy, we've rounded up the top ways to get your mane right back to manageable.

Blonde goes Brassy

For many women, what began back in June as the perfect shade of warm caramel turns sharp yellow or harsh green come fall. So goes the plight of the bottled blonde.

Summer's favorite activities, from swimming to sporting, have the potential to ruin even the chicest shades of blonde. Thankfully, an affordable in-salon service called glossing can redeem brassy hues. Antonio Prieto, celebrity hair stylist and owner of Antonio Prieto Salon in Manhattan, names gloss as one of the top ways to correct bleached-out summer color.

Fall beauty is in full swing, and the season's must- have looks call upon the glamorous 1940s for inspiration. Wavy locks, bold lips and strong brows set the stage for an über-feminine season.

Credit Gwen Stefani, who has been punking up vintage 40s and 50s pieces with bold colors and stripes for years now, or designers such as Valentino, Dior and Gucci, who all showed their unanimous approval for 40s era glamour by marching models with shining waves, fiery lips and bold brows down Fall 2007 runways.

Inspiration aside, one thing is certain this fall; the lady is a vamp.

Haute Lips

Fall's hottest look for lips isn't so much about color as it is about making a statement. Frost is out (not exactly a newsflash), gloss is going (say it isn't so!), and bold, matte lips definitively lined with rich berries, vivid crimsons, and even velvety plums take center stage.

Make no mistake, autumn's deep hues call for a steady hand and a dependable, stay-put lipstick formula. With highly-pigmented colors comes a natural propensity for makeup mistakes, or worse, mid-day makeup bleeds.
