  feel that chill? get used to a few more months of the wind whipping through your hair. for now, remain cool, be da bomb and just get some sleep sugar with our list of this month's picks:

longo-lasting.
sick of those lipstick stains on your coffee mug? fret not. vincent long lip stain ($22.50) helps you keep the color, and lose the stickiness. the stick-sponge applicator glides on easy for a bright and long-lasting finish. you can even use it on your cheek for a quick-rosy fix. available at sephora. 520 north michigan avenue. at grand. 312.335.9391. www.sephora.com


stil cool.
this month, watch for the stila eye shadow trio ($20). you love the single pots, and now you can get into triple the trouble. for cool-colored eyes, try the "champagne glow." something warm? the "warm glow" of golden nude and warm bronze just might work. available at ulta. 1000 west north avenue. at north sheffield. 312.664.0230. www.stilacosmetics.com


balmy brazil.
it's the dead of winter and your lips are yearning to feel kissable again. try inara lip balm ($12) made from babassu oil (derived from palm nut) for super silky lips. better yet, inara helps women in indigenous areas of brazil who help make the prod through fair trade practices. soften your lips and your heart. available at fuga. 3853 north southport. at west grace. 312.880.1280. www.inaraorganic.com


da bomb.
it's a new year. time for resolutions and the "drop 10" deal. for those late-night blues, skip the haagen-daaz and reach instead for the lush haagen bath bomb ($5.95). the bomb adds a touch of fizz to your bath, plus irresistible scents of mint and grated chocolate. available at lush. 859 west armitage. at north dayton. 773.281.5874. www.lush.com


sleep sugar.
it's dark, it's cold, but you still want that spa escape. for an at-home alt, try the bath and body works aromatherapy sugar scrub ($20). the lavender vanilla scrub helps leave your skin soft without the oily mess. the aromatherapy line was developed by a sleep expert, so you know you're in good hands. 1730 west fullerton avenue. near north clybourn. 773.348.0567. www.bathandbodyworks.com
