While we absolutely love to get seriously festive for the holiday season, there also comes a point when... enough is enough, you know?

Sephora has a lot of amazing beauty brands to choose from. And even the most seasoned Sephora shopper can get overwhelmed by all of the shiny makeup, skin care, hair and body products on the shelves. In fact, sometimes you get so lost you miss out on new products and brands.

Which is precisely why we're putting the spotlight on some of the latest additions to the Sephora family — these newbies are totally worth checking out the next time you're shopping in store or online.
There's a reason why witch hazel is so popular — it's a natural botanical skin care ingredient that can do just about everything. It's a natural astringent that happens to have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It also helps control oil production for a more balanced — not to mention clearer — complexion. Heck, it even serves as a popular home remedy for sunburns (and even hemorrhoids).
One of the most fun holiday gifts to get as a kid? The advent calendar. For those unfamiliar, it works like this: Leading up to Christmas, every day you get to open a new window on the calendar, each revealing another gift. This gift could be anything from a piece of chocolate to a toy. But kids aren't the only ones who can take part in this fun holiday tradition. For the beauty-obsessed friend or family member in your life, consider gifting them one of these seriously fabulous beauty advent calendars this holiday season. Heck, buy one for yourself and stock up on your beauty favorites — we won't judge!).
