There are so many new products out there on the beauty market that some killer moisturizers and eyeshadows can often be overlooked. Here are some hidden gems that should definitely be on your holiday wish list this year.
For soft skin to start…
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream | Basically the stuff your grandma has been using for decades. We bet she has amazing skin, too, and this is probably her secret weapon.
To create the base…
Coty Airspun Loose Powder | This translucent powder is a fraction of the cost of most high end products and can be found at Walmart. The 2.3 oz. powder contains more product than most high end versions.
Tinted Moisturizer | With the rise of BB and CC creams, tinted moisturizers seem to get overlooked. But the no-makeup trend is giving tinted moisturizers new life.

To seal the look…
