Christmas is only 2 days away, but winter & the cold weather will stay for a couple of months! So I wanted to show you some of my essential beauty products for the winter time.
1) Candles~ I know this isn't a beauty product but I just LOVE candles! Around the holiday time many Christmas and holiday themed/scented candles come out in stores. These candles smell amazing and they are great for many things! They are great for making your home smell nice before guests come over for a holiday party! They are also great for just lighting and enjoying.
2) skin care~ in the winter the weather gets colder, and our skin, hands + lips become chapped and dried out! So everyday I apply a face moisturizer (Clinique) and hand cream (bath and body works, vanilla bean Noel). Applying a face moisturizer is so important because it keeps your makeup from caking up on your skin! The handcream is especially nice around the holidays because it has a "holiday" scent/theme. And the last thing is always keeping a lip balm handy (Nivea lip butter). I always bring a lip balm with me almost everywhere in the winter time because the cold weather tends to make our lips chapped.
3) powder + concealer~ powder and concealer are very handy during the winter time. In the winter our skin tends to be alittle red. So the green concealer (Maybelline) will counteract redness. You can also use the green concealer on acne to reduce redness. In the winter most people usually wear a little more makeup than what they would wear in the summer + warmer months. This powder (wet n wild, coverall) and concealer (benefit, boing) will give a lot of coverage on the face.
4) bronzer~ as the weather gets colder, our skin loses color because we are not out in the sun as much as we are in the summer. Bronzer ( NYC smooth skin bronzer, sunny) is a easy fix for pale skin to give the illusion we have just been on a tropical vacation (I wish!). Dust bronzer on points of face where the sun would naturally hit (temples, cheekbones, jaw line, nose, ect.). Use a matte bronzer, shimmery bronzers will make your sun-kissed glow look fake. The best part about this bronzer is that it only costa a few dollars at the drugstore!
5) tinted lip balm~ a tinted lip balm (Maybelline baby lips, cherry me) works like a Chapstick, but gives off color like a sheer lipstick! These are so easy to use, and you can easily apply this without a mirror if you are on the go! I love this red color because it if perfect for the holidays! And if is only a few dollars at the drugstore!
6) makeup on the go~ are you always on the go? Or are you going to a holiday party right from work? Problem solved! Just slip this pallet into your purse! (SEPHORA , blinged. Limited edition). Find a compact makeup pallet like this one that has eyeshadow, blush, lip colors and a mirror in it. And if you forget makeup brushes, just use your fingers! This pallet was limited edition, but I bet you can find other Pallets similar.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS💕
