You know those beauty products that have been in your arsenal for so long, you almost forget how truly amazing they are and how much they should be shouted from the rooftops? The products that are basically the cornerstone of your makeup looks? Well, that’s how I feel about MAC Paint Pots.These unassuming little jars are filled with stunning, in-your-face colors that are just dying to be noticed. I love that MAC creates limited edition Paint Pots for various collections (although then it makes me sad when I get all the way to the bottom of the tub and there’s no finding the color again). I love that the color is richly pigmented and stays on all night without creasing, even if I’m dancing up a storm in a hot club. And I love that the colors work as both a primer and shadow, so you can wear them alone or layer other shadows on top of them with—you guessed it—still no creasing, smudging or fading!
Paint Pots are just one of those miraculous products that I can’t live without, and I honestly can’t believe it’s taken me this long to sing their praises for you!

On a recent perusal of the skincare section at Sephora, one type of product kept popping up: eye gels. It seems like such an obvious skincare must-have, and yet, for some reason, we never had any in our arsenal until now! Below, the ones we recommend you check out immediately (if not sooner).Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel
First of all, it’s blue, which we just think is fun and different. But what we really love? It’s extremely cooling (and not just the second you apply, but for a long while afterward), and it has the consistency of a cream. It’s just a bonus that it perks up our tired eyes in no time.
$38 at sephora.com
Philosophy Eyes Wide Open
This unassuming little while tube packs a major punch. It smooths and depuffs skin instantly, not to mention it has a delightful cooling quality.
$30 at beauty.com
Bliss Baggage Handler Eye Gel
We love every Bliss product just for the names alone! And this one definitely does what it says—it makes all that under-eye baggage just disappear, thanks to cucumber extract and algae extract! Especially great for long flights.

Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel
The name alone makes you know it’s going to make your under-eye area look and feel its best, wouldn’t you agree? Plus, it smells like refreshing cucumbers and has an innovative pump design.
$14.99 at zappos.com
The Art of Shaving Eye Gel
The chamomile scent is utterly relaxing, which makes this perfect right before bed (why not get the under-eye bags under control while you’re getting your beauty rest, right?).
$28 at barneys.com
Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue
Definitely the most science project-like of the bunch! This eye gel is formulated with Co-Q-10 in the appearance of caviar-like beads, which smooth into the skin upon impact and protect the eye area from aging.
$100 at sephora.com

You know those times when you pick up a bottle of nail polish and you have really high hopes … and then they’re realized once you see the color on your nail? That’s exactly what will happen when you try Chanel Tentation.Tentation is just the most gorgeous shade of rich, deep fuchsia. But what really sets it apart is the gorgeous whitish silver shimmer. It’s one of those colors that you just can’t stop staring at once you paint your nails! We picked it for a pedicure for an upcoming trip to Los Angeles—and we especially love it for a pedicure, but it’s equally as beautiful as a manicure.
And, really, what’s better than a bottle of Chanel nail polish? (Answer: nothing.)
Chanel Tentation retails for $27 at chanel.com.
