Well, December snuck up on us, didn’t it? It is time for holiday parties of all kinds, from now until New Years.
Do you glam up your look at the holidays? It is the perfect season to try something dramatic like a red lip or dramatic eyes. Maybe just a little shimmer on your cheekbones or a glittery nail.
Here is a list of great new items to help you look fabulous this holiday season:

YSBB™ Your Skin But Better™ CC Cream with SPF 50+ ($38 USD) — It’s your full coverage foundation, brightening color, anti-aging serum, pore minimizing primer, dark spot corrector, moisturizing day cream, plus UVA/UVB broad spectrum physical only SPF 50+ all in one easy step! Infused with cutting edge anti-aging technology and is clinically proven to improve skin texture, brightness and increase skin hydration by 79%. Formulated with plastic surgeons to merge high-performance skincare with the benefits of color-correcting makeup.

What I think: A beautiful face of makeup starts with a foundation. This CC Cream not only evens out skin tone, it also has anti-aging properties and high SPF. You can put this right over bare skin — you don’t need additional serum or moisturizer. Great for a quick base when you are in a hurry!
