Now that the
cold is actually a thing- let's discuss some of the things that 'save' me when
I'm out and about (with some makeup-y bits for good measure).
Can we first
take a moment to appreciate good ol' tissues?
The rare times I actually have them I seriously am glad for them- there's
nothing more annoying than when I'm all sniffly with no tissue-gosh that
sniffing sound!
Being of the
'dry skin' gang (yep it's a gang...and a cool one at that) my hands get painfully dry sometimes-
especially in Winter. Hence, a hand cream is a must-I'm currently using
the L'occitane Jasmine Passion which
I'm really liking as it gets the job done and smells
fantastic. Another one that's lovely is the Soap
and Glory Hand Food- a firm favourite of mine. Lips also get dry and the Burt's Bees Pomegranate lip
balm has been bumped up to that elusive Holy Grail status- yep it's my forever ^_^.
It's very moisturising, lasts well and is perfect for sensitive lips. The Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry is rather lovely as well- but is
much better for a wash of colour rather than injecting moisture.

The colder it gets-the more I start to resemble a two year old all bundled up with layer upon layers of clothes... or a ball. For now though I'm keeping it quite 'simple' with these Accessorize cut-off finger gloves/mittens so I can do things and keep my hands warm but it also has the convenience of the cover thing.
Jumpers..I'm all about the cosy jumpers and fully intend on building up a covetable collection. This particular one is from New Look and is the perfect fit (and colour) for layering without looking bulky.
A scarf (over my actual scarf...clever pun non? *awkward*) is a surefire way to keep the cold away.
And for makeup (because why not?) Nails Inc. Tate, a purple/wine colour that verges on black, is one of those beautifully cliche colours that simply scream autumn and come with an on trend label (says the ridiculously un-trendy Asmaa).
Lastly, a swipe of Revlon's Lip Butter: Red Velvet has been accompanying most days. Being a lip butter, the colour is not as bold but there's still some of the deepness of the bricky-red that translates on the lips.
So what are your winter 'saviors' ?
Until next time
