Weekend Roundup - January 8

The holidays are behind us, and we've moved on to beauty for the new year. This week we shared new products, long-time favorites, and the basics. We're sure there's something you're going to embrace!

Gaia from The Non-Blonde has been an Edward Bess fan for a long time. See her review on one of the newest lipstick shades, Demi Buff. Could it be the perfect neutral rose-brown shade? It's sure one of my favorites, so make sure to visit Gaia!

Are we tired of hearing about the weight loss and exercise resolutions yet? Instead, let's read about the beauty and fashion resolutions that Jennifer put together at BeautyXposé. They sound so much more interesting than a treadmill.

January weather can be especially harsh on your skin. Kari from Fab Over Forty showed us her skincare essentials to keep her skin looking youthful and moisturized during the harsh months.

Eyebrows can make or break your beauty look. Kelly from Gouldylox Reviews found a new brow gel she loves. There's a great shade for those hard-to-match redheads!

Do you love the trend of not-so-boring neutral nail shades? Sabrina from The Beauty Look Book showed us the very exclusive new line of Dior nail polishes called the Dior Vernis Gris City Collection.

"Espiegle" is a word that refers to a slightly impish fairy, a magical spirit with with a sense of teasing humor who is not afraid to use it. Check out Amy's review of Chanel Joues Contraste in Espiegle (paired with Rouge Allure Flaymoyante) at Cafe Makeup to see if Chanel captured this playfulness for the Spring 2011 line.

Do you or someone you know have a bit too much scalp showing in patches for your comfort? Debbi from DivaDebbi found a product that works like magic!

They say scent is the strongest of our senses, and it can even bring back memories long suppressed. Jane from Daly Beauty shared with us one of her favorites, along with her memories.

When you have a multi-day hospital stay like I did, do you need to be prepared with your beauty arsenal? I shared what really mattered here. Just scroll down. I'll be starting a new giveaway contest this weekend, so please come back!
