While I’m hardly a pro skier, I’d still like to think I know a great ski jacket when I see one.

I love how it’s streamlined and sleek without losing its sporty feel. Its silhouette isn’t bulky at all, and its use of color is crisp, clean and adds the perfect amount of pizzazz. Plus, it boasts all of the necessary extras like handwarmer pockets, a lift pass pocket, an audio pocket and practical insulation.

Helly Hansen W Velocity Jacket is available from Helly Hansen for $200.

While I don’t fall into the camp of women afraid to wear powder shadow (thank goodness – think of all the fun I’d miss!) to avoid accentuating fine lines and wrinkles, many women do!

This new shadow may be the perfect compromise. The oil-, talc- and paraben-free formula harnesses the power of 48 natural minerals to dramatically reduce signs of aging and delivers them in a blendable shadow available in four duos.

Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Shadow Duo is available from Smashbox for $36.

Nothing smells like the holidays quite like the scent of a fresh tree.

Thymes Frasier Fir Sink Set is available from Thymes for $30.

I can never resist Benefit’s cute little boxes of powder, so I’m dying to see what kind of gorgeous goodness this one imparts skin with.

It includes peach, soft plum, shimmering pink and rose shades that can be blended together to add a sweet, rosy glow.
