Skincare Sanity
I've always said you don't have to spend a fortune (even a small one) on great skincare. Here's the latest proof: Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream and Miracle Boost Concentrate ($25 each; drugstores), formulated with potent peptides to help stimulate collagen, vitamins to boost cell turnover and moisturizing glycerin to keep skin soft.

Shadow Play
Let me count the ways I'm crazy for the Revlon ColorStay Crème Eye Shadows ($8 each; drugstores). The 12 wearable shades are long lasting, waterproof, and easy to build (opt for a light wash or a more intense hue). Best of all, there's a little angled brush cleverly hidden in the cap.

Lip Service
I don't need a foot of snow and a plummeting thermometer to know it's winter: My chapped lips are evidence enough. But now that I've got a mittenful of Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Oils ($9; drugstores), with nourishing fatty acids and antioxidants, my lips are saying tropical vacation instead of icy tundra. My favorite of the six sheer shades: Whispering Orchid, a pinkish berry (top).

Lady Rose
Want to feel like the classiest woman in the room (even if it's just your bathroom)? Moisturize with a few drops of the cult favorite bouquet of rose, patchouli, and amber that is Frédéric Malle's Portrait of a Lady Body and Hair Oil ($190; FredericMalle.com). I use it on my shoulders, my arms, and the ends of my hair, and its sublime fragrance follows me all day.

Vip Treatment
We bet you're already wearing a foundation that gives you skincare benefits. Now you can give your nails a similar treat with Sally Hansen Color Therapy polishes ($9; drugstores). The formula contains argan, acai and evening primrose oils, as well as vitamin E to nourish and strengthen nails. With 38 shades to choose from, we also bet you'll be DIY-ing it ASAP.
