Nothing ruins a great makeup job like a little dry patch of skin. (I usually get one on the tip of my nose, which is especially un-pretty.) And when you try to get rid of it with a drop of moisturizer or oil, the makeup disappears with the dryness.

The Nudestix Moisture Pencil, $24, is a genius invention that will change all that. It's a solid hydrator that comes in a stick and glides over makeup. Magically, it erases the dry patch while leaving makeup intact.

Korres is bringing some of its best-selling apothecary offerings over from Greece and making them available at limited Sephora stores. Surprisingly, the most popular product of them all isn't actually a beauty product -- it's a sore throat treatment called Korres Honey Base Syrup, $19.50. And it's nothing like Robitussin. It's drinkable honey infused with fennel, aniseed and thyme, and it soothes your throat while boosting your energy. I've started adding a little to my tea (even though I feel perfectly healthy -- knock on wood) just because I love the flavor.
