‘Tis the season for a holiday makeup-pick-me-ups!
Here are a few of mini’s favorite things, and holiday tips to keep you looking AND feeling your prettiest this season:
Hydration
It’s extra important during the winter months to focus on hydration for your skin and lips.The dry and cold air tends to suck up the natural moisture we feel the rest of the year! Add moisturizing products to your makeup routine to keep your makeup looking flawless…not flakey!
- Mini’s Hydration LIP FAVES
- Fresh Sugar Lip Polish – exfoliate dry, chapped lips to keep them kissable all winter! (or DIY and easily make your own!)
- Smith’s Rosebud Salve
- Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1
- Mini’s Hydration FACE FAVES
- Smashbox Primer Oil – Add pre-makeup for daytime hydration, plumpness, and a natural glow
- Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil – A night time oil for fighting wrinkles and dryness
Nails
Keep your holiday mani lasting longer by applying a hydrating oil twice a day. I keep one at my desk during the day to apply when my hands and cuticles feel dry and cracked. I also keep one on my nightstand to apply every night before bed!
- Mini’s Cuticle Oil FAVES
- Jenny’s FAVE
Lashes
It’s party season, so add some additional glam for your holiday party or NYE night out with some falsies! If you’re new to the lash scene, start simple with a natural lash to add volume and then graduate to a more dramatic look with lengthy wings!
- Mini’s Falsie FAVES
- Eyelure Naturals Starter Kit (excellent choice for the beginner! It comes with one extra last to practice with)
- Ardell Glamour Wispies
- Huda Scarlett #8 – for the diva in you!
Lip Color
Don’t be shy — you look amazing in color!!! Add a pop of bright lip color to highlight your party outfit, or flaunt a natural face with a BOLD lip!
- Mini’s Lip Color FAVES
- Glossier Generation G – for those ladies who want to dip their toe in first and start with more natural color
- NYX Liquid Suede in Kitten Heels
- NARS Audacious Lipstick in Jeanne
- Jenny’s Lip Color FAVE
- LUNE + ASTER, BLUEMERCURY.COM – I swear, this stuff is NOT STICKY!!!! That’s my biggest lipgloss pet peeve. It feels smooth, moisturizes (after all, after consuming coffee + wine all day, one’s lip can start to look dehydrated after a while…), and has great pigment! Con: It DOES transfer to baby’s cheeks when you kiss them all day long. Oh well. You can’t win it all!
Gift Sets
During the holidays there great gift sets available that allow you to try a variety of products.
Be sure to put these on your Christmas list. 🙂
- Urban Decay Full Frontal Reloaded Vice Lipstick Stash
- Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush Set
- Benefit Cheek/Lip Stain Set
- Sigma Beauty Essentials Brush Set
- Sephora Favorites Extravagant Eyes – I never bought a “Sephora Faves” set that I didn’t LOVE! Awesome way to try out lots of top brands!
