Funnily enough one of the things I took for granted while living in the South was how much easier winter is on your beauty routine. Since living up north, I've had to search Sephora & CVS for all of the perfect moisturizing, repairing, life-saving beauty aids I can add to my medicine cabinet.
These are a few of my tried & true go-to winter beauty remedies for any ailment from chapped lips to pale winter skin!
the winter beauty essentials:
Forever 21 Polka Dot Cosmetic Bag: I'm totally in love with this polka dot cosmetic bag- can't believe it's only 6.00
Smith's Rosebud Salve: The ultimate moisturizer for chapped lips & hands- I love that it doesn't have a medicinal flavor & the adorable packaging
Stila Bronzing 10-in-1 BB Cream: I recently bought this instead of investing in a simple moisturizer because it eliminates a step in my beauty routine by smoothing, moisturizing, and bronzing my skin-- BB Creams are a beauty trend that's not going away!
Tresemme Climate Control Finishing Spray: This hair spray combats static- so you don't end up looking disheveled after sporting a cute knit hat
Aveda Dry Remedy Shampoo & Conditioner: I swear by this shampoo/conditioner, especially during winter. nothing makes my hair feel healthier & more moisturized
Tan Towels: It's definitely the FL girl in me that struggles to be pale all winter- these self tanning towelettes are much safer than tanning beds, and have a streak-free application
L'Occitane Hand Cream: I had never experienced dry hands until I moved into a cold weather climate, nothing soothes them better than this ultra lush hand cream
Origins Whipped Ginger Souffle Body Cream: This Origins body cream has a refreshing scent and is perfect for lathering on post-shower for some dry skin rehab
I seem to gravitate towards products with less chemicals and more natural ingredients-- they always seem to work that much better in the cold winter months.
What are your winter beauty essentials?

these are all good to know!
ReplyDeleteI am actually heading to Milwaukee/Chicago tomorrow!! i am staying with a friend in milwaukee and then we are going into chicago for a few days. this trip i am trying to get a feel for the different neighborhoods to live in, and hopefully network a lot. my goal is to move there spring/summer - whenever the stars align for a roommate and place to live. i will keep you updated. i'm not sure if you live near milwaukee or not, but if you do and you are free friday or tuesday, i'd love to meet up!
