December Faves

It’s that time of year again – top ten faves! I put together a list of products that you’ll love to gift a friend or pick up for your makeup counter and play with over the holiday season. From face masks to perfumes and everything in between, I’ve got a fun top ten for you!

Dior has always done things right when it comes to perfume, and I’m not just referring to their fragrances. I absolutely love seeing the Miss Dior Eau de Parfum bottle sitting on my bathroom counter. Like a little flower bouquet wrapped in a bow, everything about it bursts with femininity. The velvety and sensual rose tones inside the bottle are complimented by the embroidered colorful specks on the bow that ties it all together. T

GM COLLIN has been making my top lists for a while now. But this Hydramucine Optimal Cream is my new fave. The perfect rich and velvety gel designed for dry skin is made for us winter bunnies. The botanical microspheres and complex increase your overall skin’s hydration leaving you feeling smooth like a summer day.

A mist that will do everything from strengthen, protect, and nourish, the DESIGN ME FAB.ME Leave-In Treatment is lightweight and instantly detangles. It even reduces blow dry time! If you have unmanageable hair (or if your kids do), this is basically your life saver.

I’m obsessed with the name of this product: Serve Chilled Rosé Eye Gels by Patchology. Bubbly and pink, these eye gels help with the early signs of aging and hydrate your skin with a whole fruit salad of ingredients (grapes, strawberries, and more!) Tip: keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to use them, because everyone likes their gel served chilled.

Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter is a cream-powder highlighter for your face and eyes. Shimmery and long-lasting, it melts into your skin and blends perfectly, making it easy to apply, even for those who are not makeup experts. My little secret is that I put this weightless highlighter all over… even on my collarbone!

Exfoliating masks are a personal favourite. Often times, you’ll find me doing my night time face routine getting ready to chill in my bed and breathe in incense surrounded by candles (no joke!). I love the Scrub & Mask Exfoliating Bubble Mask by Filorga. It’s dual action which means you gotta scrub it in so it can clean your face, washing away the dead skin and then, you let it sit there and watch it transform into a bubbly smoothing mousse. Once the bubbles disappear, that’s when you wash off and feel you new skin!

I love Summer Fridays. R + R Mask are yet another great mask option that buffs your skin to a new brightness through its formula of natural oils. It’s like putting a bouquet on your face and letting nature work its magic. Luxuriously moisturizing, it has healing and soothing effects as well as it washes away dead skin cells and leaves you feeling brand new.

Lip Chic, The Butterfly Collection by Chantecaille is so soft! It’s glossy and lightweight. The butterfly is a pretty pollinator that promotes global diversity and this lipstick is the culmination of its very hard work. Hyssop is a deep, rich colour that enhances my skin tone especially this season when my hair is bright and skin is light. I love a little pop of colour.

Charlotte Tilbury steals the show with this Matte and Metallic Double Ended Eyeliner from her Eye Color Magic Collection. Pigmented shades that are super easy to glide on, I opted for the Mesmerizing Maroon because it helps enhance a green eye and make it look even greener. Bigger, brighter, and more exaggerated, the matte and metallic combo adds layer and dimension to any look.

Clarins Wonder Perfect 4D Mascara boasts a four-dimensional perfect look and let me tell you, this wand delivers. This mascara works perfectly for that big, bright eye or the sultry, dark look. And if I’m honest, the bottle itself is quite pretty too. Who can resist a little pink!
