I dunno about you guys but during the winter my face feels like I just got Botox! And not in a good way…. I have combination skin but during these cold times my skin still gets pretty dry. I’ve always been told I have perfect skin. HELLO! *NEWS FLASH* Nobody has perfect skin! Victoria Secret Angels are even are brushed! That’s cause the people outside don’t see what I have to go through to make my skin look this way. My poor husband has to see me look like Shrek every once in a while with my mud mask. =D So sit back, get a cup of hot chocolate, and burn a Bath and Body Works candle and lets get started…
The Clarisonic. Yes, It is an investment but now these days you can get the MIA one for a discounted price. I got mine at the outlet for $100! You’ll be surprised how much makeup is still left on your face. EEeWwww…– Please don’t not use this more than twice a week, IF you have dry skin just use ONCE a week or ONCE every two weeks.
The Dead Sea Mud Mask, this is the stuff that has your man saying,”Uhh…There’s dirt on your face”. I tried plenty of masks and most of them are about the same, the reults only last for a day so I was quite surprised when I got mine at TJ MAXX for $3.99 and my face was so hydrated for almost a week! WARNING! This stuff does BURN at first! Ah beauty is pain.
Tree Hut scrub, well we scrub our face only makes sense we scrub our bodies… Scruba Dubb Dubb… I get mine at Walmart. Very affordable, Smells great! And it’s Natural ingredients =)
Don’t forget those lips too! Who wants to makeout with crusty lips? Heheh… This is the bubblegum lip scrub from Lush. I enjoyed the flavor but if you ask me go get some Free lip scrub! Located in your kitchen.(Sugar-brown or white & Olive Oil) Tahhh Dahhh!!!
Face oils! If you don’t own any, then get out from under your rock! Oils is the new big thing! For combination/oily skin I recommend the Tarte Maracuja Oil for Dry/combination skin I recommend the Josie Moran Argan Oil . You can get the trial size for $15, for a travel size it lasted for me awhile, you’ll thank me later.
Top everything off with our favorite body butter. Body Butters are lotions on steroids =) Highly recommend the The Body Shop body butter. I got mine on sale which still going on now.
Let’s end this note with a fashion statement, the fall lip color trend. This ranges from everything from Plums, Burgundy, Wines, Deep reds, the list goes on and on. I think anybody can pull this off. Well with the Right shade anyways. If you don’t feel bold enough for the dark lip trend, try a sheer lip color or even a gloss.
Well now that you all know my secrets, you’ll all be glowing like J-Lo. Or… Rudolph… Let me know what are your winter essentials? Hope you enjoyed this post!
Ekkkkk! Tom ford and ysl lipstick! My fave! After reading ur review about the clairasonia- makes me want to get one too!

I tried the Josie maran! You can get the sample size for $10 at sephora! It left residue behind but it had great reviews? I’m actually planning to do a review on the new Garnier oil cleanser. I’ll give you a heads up if it’s good!
