winter essentials

Happy New Year my little muffins! 

I hope you all had a wonderful new years eve which followed up by a not so wonderful new years day morning!

Since we are now in full blown, cold ass winter I thought I would share some of the products that I require to be in my apartment in order to survive. 



1. Lush Body Butters

Okay these are amazing! My personal favorite is Buffy and I could not survive winter without this product. It comes in bar form and Buffy is chock full of rice, almonds, and beans to help exfoliate your skin. Right before you get out of the shower you rub this all over your body then gently rinse off the exfoliating products and gently pat your skin dry. I like to do this when I shower at night and when I wake up in the morning my skin is so soft and hydrated!

2. Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial

I have been using Proactiv+ for the last four months or so (full review coming soon!) and while it is clearing up my acne I find that it leaves my skin a little bit dry. I know I know I have oily skin so this should be a good thing but I have been using this product at night and in the morning my skin looks great! This product also helps get rid of dark marks which is always a plus in my book! I recently finished my Wild Rose Moisturizer and have started using the Greek Yogurt version which is super hydrating! I'm not sure which one I love more! 

3. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer 

Since I am now paler than a ghost, my dark marks and acne scars are really showing through. Lord knows this is not going to fly! As I am always on the hunt for a good concealer (as are most girls) I grabbed this on a whim at my local grocery store and holy shit y'all it's good! I will be doing a full review of this product next week so stay tuned!

4. Bag Balm 

This is a product that I have been using for most of my life. My mom was obsessed with it and the obsession definitely rubbed off on me. This is like vaseline but 10x better! I use it on my skin (especially on my feet, knees, and elbows) as well on my lips (which have been beyond chapped this year). Do yourself a favor and keep this on your nightstand!

5. Lush Lip Scrub 

Since my lips have been insanely chapped for the last two months I have been relying on my Lush Lip Scrub along with Bag Balm at night in order to survive. Dramatic I know but there is literally nothing worse than chapped lips! I am going to be 100% honest (not that I'm ever lying) and say that I hate all of the 'flavors' of this product. But for a product that costs $10 and can last me up to a year I am not complaining! 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you try any of these products!

What are you winter essentials so I can add them to my collection?
