Winter Essentials. | Blogmas Day 6-9

As you can probably tell, I cheated! The stress of not completing enough blogmas days has got the better of me.

So what I’m going to write about today is the things I think are essential for winter and the festive holidays!

SKIN CARE. 

Dry skin is always the main problem during winter because the air’s so dry and your skin gets dry and flaky, so a super moisturizing moisturizer would be awesome!

Presents for HER! | Blogmas Day 4.

Because the female population is pretty hard to please and more preparation would be needed, I’ll be doing presents for HER first!

BEAUTY ITEMS :

{They might be a bit pricey, but Christmas only happens once a year so don’t go scrimping!}

Buxom Shimmer and Shake Lip Polishes & Creams.

Buxom lip glosses have the reputation of being really amazing as they’re not sticky and have a fabulous finish.

Plus they come in so many different shades, it allows the recipient to play around with it a lot!

Available here.

Eve Lom Rescue Mask. 

From what I read in the description, this is really suitable for ladies who suffers from breakouts and irritable skin problems.

It seems really luxurious and effective, almost like a miracle product.

Available here.

Korres Lip Butter Glaze Collection. 

Especially useful during the winter season, this will soften all lips, keeping them smooth and youthful.

And get ready for a New Year’s kiss, or a mistletoe moment!

Available here.

Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish.

I feel that face exfoliators should be a staple in everyone’s bathroom.

Sometimes, there are days in which your face would feel gunky and bumpy, and it feels really unsettling while you’re cleansing your face.

So a face exfoliator will come into action and smooth out everything, making your face feel smooth and soft!

Also, Laura Mercier is an amazing brand.

Available here.

Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette.

This is the ultimate luxurious eyeshadow!

(According to Fleur) It’s really buttery and smooth. The color saturation is really great as well!

I would absolutely love to get my hands on this palette.

However, the prices of makeup here in Singapore is mad crazy!

Available here.

CLOTHING. 

Tay Bomber Jacket. 

I admit, this is just something I want.

But I think it’d be pretty cute for those teenage girls who are on the rocker side.

Designed together with Tay Jardine from We Are The In Crowd, this seals the deal as the punk / rock jacket.

This can also give a boy-ish feel to a girly outfit!

Particularly useful for the winter season as well!

Available here.

Brandy Melville Go Away Beanie.

Winter season always calls for a beanie!

Available here.

Nollie Slouchy Button Front Cardigan. 

The colors on it seem so super Christmas-y and festive and that is always loved.

Plus the knitted material would keep you warm and feeling all cozy.

This will pretty much go well with anything!

Available here.

Jack BB Dakota Jacket Tracie French Terry and Quilted PU Bomber.

(Phew, what a mouthful.)

It’s a little like a Tay bomber jacket, but for those who want more color and those who want to look just that little bit more classy.

Honestly, it looks like something Fleur would wear.

Available here.

Abercrombie & Fitch Emma Sweater.

How cute is this sweater? I think all girls will adore this sweater, who can pass up on dogs?

Plus it’ll be so amazing for the winter, spring and autumn seasons!

I feel so warm just looking at it. Cozy alert!

Available here.

ACCESSORIES.

Rebecca Minkoff Hudson Moto Mini Bag.

It’s a really cute crossbody bag. I feel that the fabric and print on the bag makes it seem really classy.

The buckle at the bottom is really unique too!

It isn’t too bag and neither is it too small, it’s perfect for the on-the-go moments where you have to rush out the door but need some place to store your wallet, phone and stuff like that.

Available here.

Kate Spade Cobble Hill Little Murphy.

This feels like the universal bag. Anyone would look good with it!

The classy girl, girly girl or the always-running-around girl would do well with this bag.

I just can’t imagine anyone who can’t suit this.

Available here.

Tiffany & Co Interlocking Circles Pendant.

Such a classy and elegant piece, the rose gold adds a really nice sparkle and extra “oomph”.

I think it’ll be really nice to give this to your girlfriend / wife.

Available here.

If you really can’t think of anything, get a….

GIFT CARD! 

Be it ikea, sephora, Lush or whatever, make sure that it’d be something they’d use!

And please put a decent amount of money in it for the recipient to spend!

Alright, I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and found it useful!

Stay tuned for blogmas day 5.

Wishlist (2) {lip products}

Before I begin, follow me on Instagram! Yes I have a newly created account and it’s @snickeriggles. Help me get the word out about my blog out. Thank you lovelies!

with all the lip products I am looking for, I can safely say that I am mad.

A set of all tints, how adorable! Benefit Cosmetics has to be one of my favorite “high-end” makeup. Their packaging and the name of their products has already won me over by 80%. Then with the stuff they came out? 100% sold.

I’ve never actually heard of this product, but heard of “Buxom” from essiebutton. Seems pretty cool for a lip stain. A little like the Revlon kissable balm stain, I must say.

THIS. I have heard it from essiebutton (my favorite-est beauty vlogger ever.) and it looked so good! I will get it one day. It’s so sheer and cute and elegant at the same time.

I have never heard of this, but it looks so quirky (in a good way of course) the pink is a really nice opague one and looks so smooth. Looks like liquid cotton candy.

Soap and Glory! Their packaging is comparable to Benefit’s, just more provocative. It’s so girly and sexy and cheeky! I wish I had their body product set or something, seen it quite a few times but never actually gotten it.

I always thought Stila were mainly eyeshadows, but it’s a pleasant surprise to find this. With tint, and balm, I was really interested.

Kat Von D lipstick! I never ever knew she had a makeup line, and I’m absolutely interested in it right now. The colors are really dark / neutral / red, perfect for statement lips or to enhance the eye makeup. Plus the packaging is really sleek and classy, while infusing the rock edge.

Yves Saint Laurent again! And I heard it from Estée, again. I love how sheer the swatch I saw on her video was, I’m not a fan of “thick” lipsticks. Plus the packaging is really really classy.

I know this isn’t a lip product, but I had to add it in since I saw it in Estée’s get ready with me video and wazowska , the coverage was amazing and gave a really natural finish. It was just so awesome, I can’t even describe it.

So hey, if you ever thought about what to get for me, you have a rough idea. Haha!
