winter essentials

Now that NYC has seen temperatures below freezing (ick), I'm stocking up on my favorite winter beauty products. My skin gets SUPER dry in the winter, and I find myself constantly reapplying moisturizer. I always carry hand lotion on me, as well as Kleenex (let's be honest -- dripping noses are NOT cute).

Here are some other beauty products that I urge you all to try. They are my go-to products, and I swear by each of them.

1. Chanel Base Lumière -- provides an excellent base for all your make up products. 
2. Kiehl's Hand Salve -- the best hand lotion that I've found. I've used it for years.
3. Kate Spade Makeup bag (similar) -- obviously you have to store your products in a cute bag.
4. Kai Body Butter -- a cream that hydrates all day and smells divine.
5. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer -- lightweight formula that hydrates immediately.
6. Amika Oil Treatment -- tames your fly-aways, and gives your hair a non-oily shine.
7. Malin+Goetz Lip Moisturizer -- I have this everywhere. Next to my bed, in my purse, at my desk. Super glossy and hydrating.
8. Kleenex
9. Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir Intense -- the ONLY mascara I will wear. 

Happy shopping!
