5 December Faves! [2013]

Hello~!~! 

Thanks for visiting my blog today~

These are some items I absolutely love to use for winter time from makeup to skincare things :)
These would also be great gifts ^_^!

1. Lotion!

My favorite:

Grace Cole Boutique's White Nectarine & Pear Lotion

I love this lotion in particular because it is so light and the smell is so very sweet and subtle I can use it daytime and nighttime ^_^! Moisturizing your skin - no matter the skin type - is so very crucial to your skin care routine! try not to skip it ^_^ 

HERE Discovery Health explains why, it's mostly about the face and why it's important to moisturize your face, but the rest of your body is just as important!

How do you know if your skin needs some loving? Take your nail and make a small scratch on an area of your choice, if said area turns white, then you need some lotion ^__^ - tip from my mama bear

2. Red, Red Lips!

My favorite:

Etude House's Dear Darling Tint: #02 Real Red

This year's winter trend is super red, red, red, lips! Why? I'm not sure to be honest. I think it is because red contrasts nicely with the usually white image of christmas (like snow). Or maybe because the christmas colors are red, green, and white? Not too sure, but I LOVE IT! I really like Etude House's tint because it's really cheap and easy to apply, and lasts quite long ^_^

3. Brown Eyebrows!

My favorite:

Heavy Rotation's Eyebrow Coloring

Brown eyebrows and RED lips! quite a combination huh~? Did you know? Lighter eyebrows make you look younger ^_^! I didn't know that but it's a thing apparently! I really like heavy rotation's because it's easy to use and even if I make a mistake and accidentally get my skin, then I can easily wipe it off with my nail or a damp cotton ball ^_^

4. Great Brush~!

My Favorite:

Sephora Collection: Pro Flawless Light Powder Brush #50

I recently got this as a gift and I absolutely love it! The bristles are just so soft it leaves a super smooth, natural finish that doesn't make it look like I caked on a bunch of makeup, and doesn't show my dry skin when I have that x___x. Looks like I have an airbrushed finish! I really didn't think that the brush quality was so important but WOW I'm amazed! 

5. BB Cream!

My favorite:

Smashbox's Camera Ready BB Cream

** I think on my tumblr someone had asked what makeup I use and I accidentally said Makeup Forever >__< I actually meant to say smashbox, need to go change that!

The package is quite small and the sunscreen smell is really strong in my opinion ;-; 

but other than that, I really love this BB cream! It's about the same price as the Banila Co. one I usually use, but I think this BB Cream is easier to apply and doesn't show my dry skin, which is great and goes on so smoothly it really is awesome ^__^!

What are your favorite products this winter season~??
