Looking for some new makeup to fill your holiday needs? Here are some great new things I've come across lately that are worth taking a look at.
Urban Decay Red Alert! Holiday 2000 colors Personally I like the Lip Gunks the best. They have nice sparkle, just the right amount of shine, and a tempting apple flavor. Tart is the sheerest (a light red anyone can wear), then Kiss (a candy apple red) and Gash (a deeper metallic burgundy). Most surprising to me are the eye shadows - they are more brown-based and sheer than I expected. Kiss is a very sheer pink with pearly shimmer, and Gash is a coppery brown-red. If you are looking for a new take on classic red, these are definitely shades to consider. See the colors at http://www.urbandecay.com/newredalert.html.
Club Monaco Liquid Makeup ($19) In terms of texture, to call this "liquid" makeup isn't entirely accurate, since it's really more of a lightweight cream. It feels great on the skin and has a slightly dewy, natural finish. I wish Club Monaco chose a different style of package, though, because the traditional foundation bottle makes the cream hard to get at; a wider jar or even squeeze tube would be more user-friendly. The big pluses of this makeup are its smooth, silky texture perfect for winter-worn skin (doesn't accentuate dry areas), natural-looking coverage, and the fact that it's safe for acne-prone skin. If you can get your hands on the right shade, this is a foundation worth trying. You can see the colors and the full ingredient list at Sephora.com.

Tony & Tina Herbal Mascara ($18) With so many brands to choose from, you may be wondering if you really need to spend $18, $20 or more on mascara that you have to throw away in 3-4 months. In a word, no, you don't. There are plenty of great mascaras at your local drugstore or supermarket that cost less and work great, like Rimmel Extra Super Lash, L'Oreal Le Grand Curl, Cover Girl Lash by Lash, and Neutrogena Full Length Defining Mascara.
