Happy New Year, fellow beauty lovers! We’re excited to see what 2013 has in store. But we’re even more excited to break out the glittery goodness for New Year’s Eve! Check out four of our favorites.

NARS Blush in Super Orgasm

One of our long-time favorite products? Korres Quince Lip Butter. It’s really just as close to perfect as a lip balm could hope to be.

This balm really is like butter. It glides onto lips so smoothly and easily, keeping them moisturized and conditioned for hours on end. It’s formulated with natural oils and extracts that really help to soothe lips, while shea butter and rice wax hydrate and soften.

And, while Korres has a wide range of shades available in the Lip Butter, Quince has always stood out to us. It just leaves the prettiest hint of pink upon the pout—like you’ve been sucking on a popsicle or a lollipop.

Korres Quince Lip Butter retails for $12 at sephora.com.

Something miraculous happened yesterday. We received an email from Sephora that had us jumping up and down, doing cartwheels (okay, not in actuality, but in our minds) and generally feeling beyond merry. What was this email, you ask? Only the notice of a sale so huge, we dropped EVERYTHING to immediately check it out. 215 products are currently on sale only on Sephora’s website, and they’re going for as low as ONE DOLLAR. Yes, you read that right! Below, our must-haves.

Sephora by OPI Mash Up Nail Colour, $3
One of the colors from last year’s Glee collection—a gorgeous opalescent grey.

Sephora by OPI Betsey Johnson Nail Colour in It’s My Pink!, $5
Not only is this the prettiest shade of year-round hot pink, it’s scented with Betsey’s signature Too, Too fragrance! Too cool.

Violent Lips Temporary Lip Tattoo in Pink Glitterati, $7
Okay, we know what you’re thinking. A lip tattoo? Really? But trust us, this one is super fun. It comes in an oversized lip shape that you can custom cut to fit your pout, and it adds a ton of sparkle to your everyday look!

The Body Shop Mango Shower Gel, $5
Only $5 for our very favorite sweet-smelling scent from The Body Shop? That settles it, we’re buying out Sephora’s entire inventory.

Nails Inc. Wave Magnetic Polish in Whitehall Teal, $7
We really couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw this nail polish on sale. We were immediate fans of Nails Inc.’s magnetic polish in every color—it’s unique, it’s fun, it’s the easiest way to do nail art. Ever.

Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Scented Hot Salt Body Scrub, $15
Now, wait just a second. The cult favorite body scrub—which, yes, smells exactly like gingerbread—for only $15? Now this sale is just getting ridiculous. Ridiculously amazing, that is.

Dior Diorshow Mascara in Mitzah, $14.50
A cult favorite. Our favorite mascara ever (it thickens, it lengthens, it curls, it makes your lashes look spectacular.) And it’s in the most gorgeous shade of deep honey brown.

Find all of these products and more at sephora.com.

Want to know how to look beautiful—and totally on trend this summer? Over the next few weeks, we’ll be bringing you the beauty trends you need to know about and incorporate into your routine, stat—and the products that will give you the looks in a flash.

Up first? Brightly hued eye makeup. We’re talking green and blue, sure … but it’s going so much further than that this season. Think red, think orange, think yellow, think the entire color wheel and the entire rainbow! From Moschino Cheap and Chic and Vivienne Westwood Red Label to Miu Miu and Rebecca Taylor, eyes were the focus on the runways. This look definitely isn’t for the faint of heart, but it is a ton of fun with only a couple sweeps of an eyeshadow brush.

To get the look, try these eyeshadows!
