NARS has launched a new Makeup Primer with SPF which promises to soothe and hydrate while improving skin’s overall texture and quality and creating a perfect canvas for your favorite powder or liquid foundation.

During the moisture-robbing winter months, our skin needs all the extra hydration it can get.

And? Sun protection, girls! (Don’t be fooled into thinking the sun’s harmful rays aren’t penetrating through that cloud front.)

Every little bit of SPF helps, even if it means having to use a soothing, hydrating, protecting primer. Go figure!

NARS Makeup Primer with SPF, $33

The clowns over at Sephora are gone (whew!) and it’s safe to peruse their aisles once again.

If you have a gift card that you’re itching to spend, check out this adorable Zip Kit from Sugar Cosmetics.

It’s as small as a wallet and has four shimmery eyeshadows in Pale Gold, Golden Champagne, Bronze, and Golden Peach plus a sheer peachy-nude sugar-scented lip gloss all zipped up in this darling little tin.

So cute!

Sugar Cosmetics Zip Kit - Ginger, $25

As always, Santa was good to us this year.

In addition to a gorgeous Tiffany necklace, he left us with some of the beauty products on our wish list. (Good boy, Santa!) Our favorite by far is Scott Barnes Illumineye eye shadow in Urban Legend.

Scott Barnes’ eye shadows are so velvety and smooth and full of pigment. The intense colors last all day long (even without a primer, which we left at home.)

We have a ‘thing’ for green-brown eye shadows and deep, dark Urban Legend fulfills our every eye shadow fantasy.

Scott Barnes Illumineye, $20

From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!
