If you’re feeling the winter blues, a fun pick-me-up is to go shopping for some new beauty booty! We have some fabulous products that will have you thinking and feeling springy.

Lovely Lips

Nars does it again with its new line of Velvet Gloss Lip Pencils ($24, Nordstrom, Providence). Each pencil is packed with gorgeous pigment and glides on with the ease of a gloss. It moisturizes and gives your pout some punch! Transform the driest of lips with CoverGirl’s new Lip Perfection Lipstick ($6, drugstores). This little newbie has Silk Therapy complex and an ultra-moisturizing formula to make lips uber soft and supple!

Cheeky Cheeks

Peonies and pink blushes are the stuff dreams are made of! Tarte just introduced its new Amazonian 12-Hour Clay Blush ($25, Sephora, Providence), made of clay harvested near the Amazon river, baked by the sun. The line of gorgeous pinks will give your cheeks an instant glow. Keep up the baked trend with Physician's Formula Baked Bronzer ($10, Target, Smithfield), for a sun-kissed glow sans harmful rays.

Eye Love You

We love using multiple colors on our lids so Lancome’s Colore Design Mineral Quad ($42, Macy’s, Warwick) is a dream come true. Four spectacular colors that go on ultra soft and create beautiful day and nighttime looks with ease. Let those lashes go the distance with new Buxom Lash by Bare Escentuals ($18, Sephora, Providence). This mascara lasts for 12 hours with no flakes, drying out or failing to make your lashes look luscious. Comes in black for a classic look or blue for a change of pace.

Flirty Face

It is so difficult to get out of bed in winter but Almay is ready for you with a wakeup call: Almay Wakeup Makeup ($12, drugstores), which has encapsulated water in a loose powder to enliven, hydrate and rejuvenate your skin! Smashbox has another smashing success with its Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder ($59, New Leaf Hair Studio, Bristol). This powder foundation reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hydrates and plumps the skin…win-win!
