Well, the holidays are here – already. Thanksgiving is already in the books and the rest are quickly approaching. It's officially cold out and some cities are even seeing snowflakes. 'Tis the season to be jolly, but to also be holiday party ready, look festive, and stay moisturized regardless of the freezing temperatures. From new launches to seasonal must-haves, here's a list of five beauty products we think you should purchase in December.
Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush
Cheeks naturally get rosy in the cold, so instead of letting it bother you, build off of it. Blushy cheeks in the winter are so cute and add color in a dark and bland season. This blendable and buildable dewy blush by Saie is an OG. We love it year round. However, their darker/warmer color, Spicy, is perfect for December.
Jo Malone Vetiver & Golden Vanilla
If you're a lover of warm and rich scents – winter is probably your time to shine. This Jo Malone fragrance is a winter staple. Featuring key notes of Cardamom, Vetiver Bourbon, and Vanilla Bourbon, this is an enticing blend that evokes the rich, untamed beauty of Madagascar's coast. The fragrance opens with the spicy warmth of cardamom, a vibrant and aromatic touch that transitions into the earthy, grounded depth of vetiver bourbon. This heart note is complemented by the creamy sweetness of vanilla bourbon, adding a soft richness to the composition. A subtle hint of lavender adds an aromatic freshness, balancing the warmth of the other elements. Together, these notes create a woody, sensual experience that conjures images of lush, orchid-filled jungles and expansive fields of tall grass, making the scent both bountiful and utterly delectable.
Tata Harper Water-Lock Moisturizer
In the winter, keeping your skin super hydrated is a priority. The cold weather will fight to dry out your skin as soon as you step outside. However, this Tata Harper Water-Lock Moisturizer is a game changer. It's lightweight, unlike many durable moisturizers, and it primes and smoothes with orange peptides, pomegranate spheres, and macro hyaluronic acid. It is best for roughness/uneven texture, dryness, or dullness. Our favorite part about it is how buildable it is. In the winter, you can slather on a lot, and on your winter vacation to an island, you can slather on a little.
Makeup by Mario Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette: Moonlight
Icy, bold, and festive eyes are so it this holiday season. This new moonlight-inspired palette by Makeup by Mario is perfect for this. With twelve universal, neutral shades in four finishes, you can use it to create your most breathtaking and ethereal looks yet.
L'Occitane Nourishing and Protective Shea Butter Hand Cream
Yes, we're bringing out the big guns. This best-selling rich hand cream is infused with 20% shea butter to moisturize and protect skin from dryness. It's thick and literally lasts all day – even in the winter. There's a reason everyone is so obsessed with it.
