BECCA Cosmetics
_______

We are pretty sure that the Becca Cosmetics’ Christmas collection would have melted the frozen heart of Queen Elsa in the same way love did: the protagonists are the two limited edition “Après Ski” palettes (one for the eyes and one for the face) that give a glacial glow, thanks to their shades with a cold and bright undertone!
Both repropose well beloved nuances (Pearl, Rose quartz, Moonstone, Opal, and Topaz the first and Sunlit bronzer in the bronzed Bondi shade, Luminous Blush in the Blushed Copper one and Shimmering Skin Perfector ® Pressed highlighter in shades Opal and Rose quartz LA  the second) and new ones that will steal your heart, such as toasted Marshmallow and Hot Cocoa for the eye and Shimmering Skin Perfector ® Pressed highlighter in Icicle and a new Mineral Blush in the shade Winter Berry for the face.

The brand also proposes the innovative Soft Light Burring Power, a loose powder primer that acts as a veil, hiding imperfections and preparing the skin for make up. This product is perfect for a naturally flawless finish: it seems to wear an Instagram filter in reality!
Last but not least, the Liquid Velvet Blurring Primer Perfecting Base, a “magic” primer that in one application smooths, evens and perfects the complexion thanks to a lightweight lotion-to-powder formula that makes the face uniform and ready for makeup, guaranteeing also its durability.
Luckily there’s Becca to save our lives, or rather, our make up during the holidays!

By the Bay, Cable Car Cuties, GALifornia Love, and Beauty & The Bay) represent some iconic spots of the city in a very colorful and hippie style: they contain different and specific must-haves (both in full and mini size) to achieve eyebrows and make up problems-free, just like your spirit!

Eyeko
_______

Eyelashes are protagonists in every occasion: whether it’s the Christmas dinner or the New Year’s party, they must be perfect. However, it will not be Santa Claus the hero you should turn to for a top result: better confide in Eyeko and, especially, in its two new mascara, Black Magic and Lash Alert. The first combines the properties of Keratin and Shea Butter in order to boost volume (the brush allows you to fold the eyelashes at 90°), crease and an ultra-intense finish that’ll give to your gaze a sensual effect never seen before. Moreover, it can last up to 12 hours!
This way, you will end the year and start the new one with a flawless mascara 😉

Christmas Make Up

The second product is characterized by an energizing formula, with active vegetal ingredients, enriched with caffeine and a double dose of fibers that’s able to awaken even the laziest eyelashes. It provides a richer volume and an impeccable fold, stronger than ever. Who would have ever imagined that the mascara had the same properties of a cup of coffee? This way the awakening of your body will be total, from eyelashes to toe!

Kat Von D
_______

Have you been good, this year? In case the answer is not a shut-out yes, do not despair: Santa Claus will not fulfill all your requests but Kat Von D shall do it instead, thanks to her “Saint and Sinner” collection. It was created for angels, demons and for who sees himself in a bit of both: to satisfy both of them, Kat Von D has created the Everlasting Obsession Vault, a pochette that contains 13 of the most beloved shades of lip pencils Everlasting Lip Liner and 2 exclusive novelties: the Saint (peach nude) and Sinner (Dark plum) nuances. It doesn’t matter if your makeup is classic or daring, this pochette is designed to obtain a magnetic result in both ways!

Christmas Make Up

If you want to exaggerate, then you’ll not be able to resist the palette of eyeshadows Saint + Sinner, inspired by Gothic cathedrals (and especially by the Dome of Milan): inside you will find 24 exclusive shades with a very high pigmentation.  Divided into two distinct parts, the nuances “Saint” and “Sinner” represent the dualism present in all of us: the neutral colors are perfect to create natural looks, while the others allow you to be creative.
And you, are you a saint or a sinner when it comes to makeup?

Christmas is often synonymous with fairytale atmosphere: Sephora Collection has taken advantage of this suggestion in order to recreate an ultra cozy winter landscape, where pastel colors, romantic details and delicate decorations are dominating. The protagonist of this story is a fox, the queen of snow and ruler of all the brand’s holidays products: this pet is not only cute, but is also extremely committed!  In fact, the outcome of the sale of a lamp with the Fox’s drawing will be entirely donated to “Toutes à l’ecole“, an association that fights for the schooling of the girls of Cambodia.
