I love a good rollerball. In fact, I've collected quite a few over the years. They're perfect for travel, I'm horrible at using up perfume bottles, and they're great for experiencing lots of fragrances in small doses. So is it any wonder that I'm, well, obsessed with the Fresh Sugar Obsessions Rollerball Trio?
This collection of three Fresh rollerball fragrances takes my love of Fresh to new heights. Rollerballs in Brown Sugar (citrus and caramel), Sugar Lychee (sparkling fruits and exotic florals) and Sugar Lemon (citrus and fruity florals) all bring something different to the table.
I love every Fresh Sugar scent, so it's honestly hard for me to pick a favorite! I think each one speaks to a different personality and different mood, so the set is perfect for the girl who likes fragrance choices.
Unfortunately, this product is no longer available.

A Few of My Favorite Things: Tocca Cleopatra Eau de Parfum Rollerball
If anyone told me a couple months ago that all my favorite things would come together in one pretty little package, I wouldn't have believed it. But the Tocca Cleopatra Eau de Parfum Rollerball has managed to incorporate everything I love into one tiny delight.
For starters, Cleopatra is one of my all-time favorite scents. Perfume, laundry detergent, candles ... I have Cleopatra stationed in my apartment in all its forms! The blend of grapefruit, lush greens, white jasmine, tuberose, patchouli, golden amber and rich vanilla musk create a scent that's sensual, feminine and completely exotic.
And, in case you weren't aware, I have a long-standing love affair with the rollerball. I love that I can throw it in even the tiniest purse and touch up my fragrance throughout the day. This one, with its swirling golden flower design, is absolutely gorgeous.
The Tocca Cleopatra Eau de Parfum Rollerball retails for $20 at either tocca.com or sephora.com.

My Latest Haul from Sephora: Stila, Fresh and Marc Jacobs, Oh My!
As many of my beauty compatriots would probably happily attest, it’s quite near impossible to walk into a Sephora and leave without buying anything. I don’t think I’ve ever come away without plunking down at least $40 on pure impulse purchases. The thoughts that go through my head include: That lipgloss? I need it! That body scrub? I’ve been dying to check it out? Oh, and that facial cleanser? I had just been thinking about buying one!

My Fragrance Lifesaver: Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum Roll-On
What to pack for a 10-day trip to Israel that involves limited showering, no hairdryers or flat irons (gasp!) and a staggeringly small amount of beauty products? In this gal's case, it was the Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum Roll-On. I've covered this fragrance in its entirety in the past (check it out here) -- but it's worth mentioning in rollerball form for a few reasons:
1) It's perfect for tucking into the plastic bag you're allowed to carry on the plane.
2) The fragrance is at once sensual and sexy yet completely sweet and feminine, due to a blend of notes like rose and amber.
3) The miniature rollerball is so elegant, it garners compliments every time it's pulled out of your purse.
4) Carrying anything Stella McCartney instantly ups your glamour factor.
5) At $17, you'd be crazy not to stock up before your next trip.

Holiday Gift Guide: DKNY Be Delicious Rollerball And Lipgloss Duo
Throughout the month of December, The Beauty of Life will be featuring a Holiday Gift Guide. Each gift is one I'd like to give AND get this season.
When I was growing up, my mom would have my brother and me make stockings out of construction paper. We'd hang them by the fireplace, and on Christmas morning, they had turned into real stockings. They even had our NAMES embroidered on them. I was always so excited that Santa had taken the time to give me a real, personalized stocking in the midst of everything he had to do on Christmas Eve. And if I had found the DKNY Be Delicious Rollerball And Lipgloss Duo inside my stocking one year? I think it would have sent me over the edge.
I love this petite little rollerball so much, I've taken to carrying it around everywhere I go. I dab on the beautifully crisp and zesty fragrance after the gym, during the workday, before I meet my friends for drinks. And the sparkly pink lipgloss on the other end? So perfect for a daytime look with a hint of gorgeous shimmer.
Not to mention the fragrance itself smells absolutely divine. Notes of cucumber, grapefruit, candid magnolia, tuberose, white muguet, rose, violet, sandalwood, tender skin accord, blonde woods and white amber combine with the ever-important American apple for a scent that's light, fresh and ... well, delicious!
DKNY Be Delicious Rollerball And Lipgloss Duo retails for $20.

Totally in Love: With Love, Michael Kors
That's right, I've fallen in love. But not with a guy ... much to my mother's chagrin, of course. No, right now I'm totally and completely head over heels for With Love, Michael Kors.
This absolutely adorable trio of rollerballs comes packaged in a box with a cutout heart at the front -- which just makes my heart overflow with love! And come on, you all know how much I love a rollerball. I just can't get enough! So a boxed set of three unbelievably beautiful fragrances just makes me feel over the moon.
There's the Very Pretty Eau de Parfum Rollerball, which is the original Michael Kors fragrance but punched up a notch with floral notes. There's the Eau de Parfum Rollerball, which has spices, woods, incense and tuberose undertones. And then there's the Eau de Toilette Rollerball, an intoxicating floral. Altogether? Totally enough to make my heart race.
And yours will race too. Simply head to michaelkors.com and pick up your own set for $40. That is, if I haven't scooped up every last one.

Holiday Gifts: The Fragrance Edition
Want to find the most fabulous fragrance gifts around? Your nose will most certainly be clambering after these. You'll not only want to give these to others -- you'll so want to gift yourself a bit too.
Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Refillable Purse Spray Set ($50 at sephora.com):
The sweet and sexy fragrance -- infused with notes of honeysuckle, jasmine, amber, caramel and vanilla -- takes on a new twist in a set of three purse sprays and a refillable atomizer. You'll be good to go for months -- and best of all, the atomizer will look beautiful when you pull it out of your clutch!
Clean Rollerball Fragrance Set ($48 at cleanperfume.com): Shower Fresh. Ultimate. Warm Cotton. One smells better than the next in this set of three rollerball fragrances -- though my fave is definitely Warm Cotton, which smells exactly like fresh laundry.
Vera Wang Look Eau de Parfum ($70-$90 at bloomingdales.com): The bottle is modern and refreshingly uncluttered. The scent is fresh and clean, thanks to notes like lychee, golden apple and watery greens. It looks fabulous displayed on a vanity and it smells unbelievable on the skin. What's not to love?
Philosophy Grace Amazing Grace Layering Collection ($55 at philosophy.com): My fave scent from Philosophy now comes in three fab products -- their signature 3-in-1, a fragranced shimmer lotion and a bottle of perfume, natch. And it's all packaged in such a pretty box that it would be a shame not to keep this one for yourself!
Harajuku Lovers Solid Coffret ($60 at sephora.com): Love. Lil' Angel. Music. Baby. Gwen herself. Is it any shock that these little solid fragrances are the absolute cutest things this side of Gwen's stage? Each is sweet and sassy, reflecting the Harajuku girl it represents. And you've gotta admit, they're pretty darned adorable!
Stella McCartney Stella Holiday Gift Set ($87 at nordstrom.com): One of my all-time fave fragrances has now become a unique giftable for the holidays. The heady perfume finds its way into a scrub and body lotion, as well as the aforementioned fragrance, to create a gift set that makes me all tingly with delight.
Sula Roll-On Perfume Collection ($36 at ulta.com): Perfect for satisfying each and every fragrance craving, the six scents in this rollerball set include the sweet Vanilla Blossom, zesty Sun-Kissed Citrus, heady Blackberry Blush, succulent Champagne Sugar, intriguing Butterfly Kiss and hearty Stiletto Musk.
Jo Malone Tasting Kit ($110 at jomalone.com): One of the brand's most-loved fragrances -- Pomegranate Noir -- is held within a beautiful leather box along with tiny bottles of three of its best notes, Raspberry, Casablanca Lily and Guaiacwood. The end result is a fun experiment in combining fragrances that helps you make this one all your own.
