Could This Be? Clarisonic for Free?

Alright, so it's definitley nowhere near being "free," and it's still pretty pricey, but any discount on that coveted Clarisonic is a deal in our minds. Right now, Sephora.com is currently offering a deal on the Clarisonic Mia2 - amazing by the way - for $149, as opposed to the $169 price point. The best part is that not only do you receive the Moa2, but it also comes with Sephora's Instant Moisturizer that hydrates skin tenfold, as well as boosting radiance and fighting wrinkles.

Visit Sephora.com for more info on product features.

Beat Cold Weather With Urban Decay's Chapped Lips Remedy

While cold weather brings out the cute, chunky knits and amazing boots to play, it also brings out the worst in our skin — especially our lips! If you're thinking of giving some hot-hued lipstick a try this season (and, really, why wouldn't you?) then the first step to achieving a picture-perfect pout is a moisturized kisser. But it's a real pain in the you-know-what to constantly have to play switcheroo between your lipstick and your chapstick all day. Remedy your chapped lips this winter with a little "Lip Love," courtesy of Urban Decay.

At $16 a pop — total steal, we know!— you can have silky smooth lips and delicious color all in one product. The honey-infused lipgloss yields baby's bum-smooth application and a vibrant color. Choose between Drizzle (pale pink), Failbait (peach), Lolita (bright clear pink), Stung (berry), and Taunt (nude), or just get all of them and call it a day! These babies are also the perfect little stocking stuffers for your friends. Visit Sephora in-store or online to pick up your very own pretty pout.

Best Cold Weather Beauty Products

Or, rather, hand saver!

Kiehl's has proven well for cold weather beauty products. Their Creme de Corps body lotion takes away the itch, and their Ultra Facial Cream moisturizes with the best of them.

When your hands start to crack from the cold winds and dry heat, pick up their Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. Amazingly, it forms a glove-like barrier against moisture loss while soothing your rough hands at the same time. It's non-greasy formula is great for everyday use, and its peppermint scent is an instant mood booster. Keep a bottle in your bag on extra cold days and re-apply after washing your hands.

Do you have any cold weather go-to beauty items?
