NIVEA Lip Butter in Raspberry Rosé Kiss
I'll be honest, my lips are disgustingly chapped. Not just in the winter, but all year. There's nothing grosser than feeling a million pieces of dead skin when you rub your tongue across your lips, yuck. I've tried so many different lip balms, so many different scrubs and have never quite gotten amazing results. Well, though my lips may not be completely smooth yet, this lip butter has gotten them into the best shape they've ever been in. I can feel my lips getting softer and smoother. The raspberry flavor is more of a scent than a sweet taste, but it's just enough and it smells, and feels, amazing.
No-Crack Super Hand Cream
Okay, so it's not just my lips. My hands are just as bad, maybe even worse. It takes A LOT of moisturizer to even remotely clear up the cracks and dead skin. But this stuff, this stuff is amazing. It is hands down the best hand cream I have ever used. It is super super rich and thick, almost like a paste, and a little actually goes a long way. I purchased my tub at Urban Outfitters.
The Body Shop Body Butter in Glazed Apple
I absolutely adore The Body Shop's body butters. When I get a new tub, I do everything in my power to not use it all up in a week. If you've never tried one, I need you to drop what you're doing and get one right now. At $20 a tub, they may be a little pricey, but they're totally worth it and they almost always have some sort of buy one get one deal. They're so rich and hydrating, and every single one smells AMAZING. My current favorite for the winter season is glazed apple. It's a super wintry fresh smelling cream that reminds you of the holidays (because let's be honest, is it ever too late for a little Christmas?) However, sadly this is a limited edition scent and may not be available in your local Body Shop anymore, but I'd highly recommend picking up a tub in any scent.
Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer
Yes, another moisturizer, are you sensing a trend here? I have really dry skin, okay. I absolutely love to death my First Aid Beauty Ultra-Repair Cream, but I felt it was a bit to thick for day time use. I needed a new daily moisturizer for under my makeup but didn't feel like splurging on anything pricey. Off to my local Rite Aid. I decided to pick up this moisturizer and I am super happy with the results. It's light and thin, but it's not watery, and it blends into my skin easily. It doesn't feel greasy at all, in fact I don't even notice it's there, and it is perfect to wear alone or under makeup. Oh yeah, it does a good job at moisturizing too.
Simple Cleansing Micellar Water
Ah drug store finds, how I love you so. I picked this up one day to try it out, and it has become a stable. I harley ever even use a normal cleanser anymore. I just saturate a wash cloth or a cotton puff with this and rub it all over my face. That's it- simple! Haha, get it... It makes my skin feel so clean and fresh and it's great to use in the mornings when your skin doesn't need a heavy cleaning.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Duel Action Acne Treatment
If you have an, er, blemish, and you need to get rid of it fast, I highly recommend this stuff. It works like magic, especially for clearing up blackheads. Sometimes it even works immediately over night. Sadly, I have a problem with remembering to put this stuff on at night, which doesn't do my skin much good. If you're gonna buy this, remember to actually use it.
Philosophy Body Wash in Spiced Gingerbread Cookie
There are few things i appreciate more in life than Philosophy's selection of body wash. Seriously, have you ever smelt that stuff? I dare you to try and find one scent that you don't want to try and eat out of the bottle. Yeah, they all smell that good. Not to mention they always have recipes on them for whatever they smell like! How cute is that? Granted, I've never actually tried to make one, but I will get on that someday. The scent I am currently obsessed with is one left over from Christmas- Spiced Gingerbread Cookie. I'm very big on matching my body washes to the season, and I know Christmas is well over, but this is still a great winter smell. It's sweet and spicy, and when I wear it, people often tell me I smell like a waffle, not gingerbread. And who doesn't love waffles right? Okay, so maybe that sounds like a weird thing to smell like, but I promise you that it is a reeeeally good waffle!
