Some beauty products simply get the job done, while others become obsessions. Here are some of winter’s top-selling, most coveted items.

TOP ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT

The Youth As We Know It cream by Bliss puts 10 anti-aging ingredients in one jar ($79 at Blissworld.com); its success has led to a complete Youth collection of face products ($28 to $75, available Jan. 15 at blissworld

.com).

This season, lush lashes are the thing: extension-hungry celebrities have been ordering Shu Uemura false lashes by the case ($15 to $50 at Shuuemura-usa.com), while high-fiber mascaras that resist smudging or running by Shu Uemura (Fiber Xtension Lengthening Mascara, $23, also at Shuuemura-usa.com) and Kevyn Aucoin (Curling or Volume Mascara, $25 at BergdorfGoodman.com) have become all-around favorites.

Patricia Wexler M.D. De-Puff Eye Gel has become a new staple, $19.50 at Bath & Body Works.

MIDDLE ROW

Kate Somerville Goat Milk Body Lotion keeps winter-battered skin soft ($28 at Bigelowchemist.com, also in a face cream for $55).

Beauty kits by the London-based Space.NK contain bath and body products in gorgeous boxes with graphics inspired by Japanese kimonos ($20 for mini-sets to $160 for full-size sets at SpaceNK.com).

That Gal brightening face primer by Benefit makes skin brighter, clearer and smoother; it can be worn alone or under foundation ($27 at Sephora.com).

BOTTOM ROW

Laura Mercier Stickgloss keeps lips hydrated and shiny yet has the longevity of lipstick; the color palette is subtle and elegant, with no tacky teenage shades ($20 at Lauramercier.com).

Vegetarian Miracle 10-Minute Mask for hair by Davines moisturizes and de-frizzes, keeping static at bay; $19.50 at Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa in New York, (212) 546-0398.
