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.

I promise this will be my only time I cheat! I just need to get everything back on track before being able to post at ease again.

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!

I chanced upon Sephora’s website while searching for makeup and oh my, so many items I wish I owned.

Ahh, the ever raved about Naked palette. 1, 2, or basics, everyone has heard about it. I think this palette is really versatile and can be used for an everyday look. Pretty!

Super sleek! I really like the color and shimmer as it’s really neutral and the glitter gives a bit of a pop for the eye.

Benefit Cosmetics. I cannot quite get over them! Their packaging is super adorable and attractive, fun and playful. Especially this tint, I’ve been wanting it since I saw an ad when I was 11. Yes, 11.

I think this palette can have quite a few uses! The pink can be used as an eyeshadow and blush, the white can be a highlighter.

Yup, another Benefit! An attractive coral pink and leopard prints on the packaging! Not to mention the tropical feel on the cover. Love in a box.

Yves Saint Laurent blush! I think cream blushes give a more natural finish compared to powder blushes, perhaps because of the fact that your skin will absorb the product and settle in nicely, instead of being caked and sitting on your skin.

Heard a lot about Clinique! Especially their moisturizing lotion. This however caught my eye, simply because the BB cream is pink in color. How adorable?

I think I’ll end here for now, there are so many products you’ll get bored. It’ll be up soon, stay tuned!
