I have a love-hate relationship with the December. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the holiday season, but I'm also dreading the start of the winter season. I hate the cold, and find myself feeling unmotivated because of the freezing temps. My face feels dry, my fingertips are frozen, and I just don't feel like getting cute very often.
On days, where I'm a little more motivated I opt for a few of my holy-grail winter products All of my picks are quick and easy to apply because I'm all about using products that are simple and easy. If you feel me, check out a few of the products below.
Eyes:
Naked Petite Heat Palette
This little-baby gives me summer vibes even when it's winter. The orangey hues remind me of a warm sunset on a summer evening, but are still wearable for winter. I also love the travel-friendly function of the petite version. If you prefer the full size for your vanity, Ulta currently has it for 50% off (honestly, a steal.)
Instant Lift Brow Pencil
My favorite thing about this little guy is that it's literally two bucks. I was not expecting to be impressed as I am. It works so well, and I love that it's subtle, but still very much pigmented.
Glossier Mascara
My friend Abby recommended this Mascara to me, and I love how natural it makes my thick lashes. I have short lashes, but I'm not very extra when it comes to makeup, so it's the perfect mascara for me.
Face:
Maybelline Superstay Foundation
A lot of bloggers and YouTubers gave this foundation great reviews. I'm normally a high-end foundation girl, but this is a true drugstore gem. It applies so easily and gives off a very nice matte finish.
Mac Blush (pinch me)
I have honestly had this for like two years, but it's my go-to whenever I want to add a little something to my routine. I love how it adds just a slight pink to my cheeks, it's just enough.
Lips:
Fenty Beauty Matte Moiselle (Madame)
I love the smooth consistency of this lipstick. But honestly, I'm not surprised because Rihanna does everything right. The Madame shade is the perfect pinkish-red for every day.
Extras:
Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask
I received this in a Nylon beauty Hitlist giveaway, and I love how it makes my skin feel. I have very dry skin; but after a long day, I can accumulate a little oil. To help with that, I love using this before going to bed because it gives me a good deep clean, and the smell gives me minty bedtime vibes.
