The holidays are the perfect excuse to hoard new beauty items. Here come the limited-edition sets and items you can use to distinctly remember the special moments of the season. It’s also when you can experiment on something new to carry over into the new year.
I’ve already made my list for such beauty items so my whole regimen can be with the Christmas spirit. They’d make great stocking stuffers, too!
The yuletide scents are made with lots of sugar and spice. And if you want to match it, go for the Jo Malone Cologne in Nutmeg and Ginger, the earthy tones make for an uncommon but luxe scent that would suit a family lunch and even early cocktails.
Jo Malone. Available at Greenbelt 5. For more information, visit their website.
Hold this bar under running water to create bubbles upon bubbles of cinnamon goodness or swirl it in your bathwater to add a dash of magic to your bath. Yes, you will smell like freshly-baked pie after.
Lush. Available at Bonifacio High Street and EDSA Shangri-la Mall. For more information,visit their website.
A pop of color is very much necessary. But a pigmented lipstick could spell dry lips especially with the cold weather. Get something that can give you that color without compromising moisture like The Body Shop Matte Lip Liquid in Sydney.
The Body Shop. Available at Glorietta 3 and SM City North EDSA. For a complete list of branches and more information, visit their website.
Holidays are also about de-stressing. Make cleansing a relaxing experience with the Aveda Candrima Creme Cleansing Oil. With sesame and coconut oil, it nourishes the skin as it cleanses with a light scent to calm you down after a long party.

Nights out consist of small purses that leave little room for your phone and wallet. Get yourself and a loved one this Clinique Chubby Sampler Set for a miniature mascara, shadow tint, check color, and lip color to be able to retouch or make a full-look without carrying a lot.
