GETTING old is certainly better than the alternative, but no one could blame a girl for wanting to look younger than she is.

If you're stocking up on skincare this holiday season, don't feel pressured to spend a fortune — there are plenty of great anti-aging products at reasonable prices.

Laneige's berry lip sleeping mask has been a crowd favorite for years.

This limited-edition five-piece mini set has that plus four other flavors: Gummy Bear, Sweet Candy, Mint Choco, and Mango.

It's already been saved by over 165,000 shoppers, so it may not be around forever.
