10 Winter Must-Haves for Your Closet

Now that winter is upon us, it’s time to upgrade your wardrobe and add some essentials for the cold to your closet. This way, you can stay warm as the temperatures drop. Here’s a list of must-haves for winter that you should definitely not miss out on. 1. Sweater You can’t complete your winter essentials without adding a sweater to your closet. In fact, a warm sweater should be one of the first things you get for this cold weather. While it’s easier to shop for men’s sweaters, women’s sweaters are a different story. But to find the perfect fit, think about the style that best suits your body shape. Do crewnecks or V-necks look more flattering on you? What material is soft on your skin? You can also buy a cashmere sweater for a more luxurious look or a beautiful sweater in a unique color to make your outfit pop. 2. Turtleneck A turtleneck is a versatile must-have that you can wear alone or pair with skirts, pants, or jeans. They’re also a great option to wear under a summer dress to protect your skin as the evening approaches and the temperature falls. 3. Cardigan A cardigan is another must-have. In particular, long cardigans are a great option as they help you look slimmer and taller. They are also a great option if you want to hide your body shape. 4. Long-sleeved tops Winters are all about layering yourself, and a long-sleeved top serves as a nice, warm layer under your clothing. 5. Leather jacket Leather jackets are best for transitional weather so that you can wear them over your summer fashion items as it starts to get a little cold. Plus, it’s always easy to style a women’s leather jacket. For instance, you can wear long layers underneath a short leather jacket to create a unique outfit. 6. Casual coat While both short and long winter coats are a staple, you should consider getting a casual coat. These are best if you are just going out for a cup of coffee with your friends or if you just want to have a lazy day. 7. Shacket If you’re following the latest beauty hacks and trends, you might have come across a shacket, which is essentially a hybrid of a shirt and jacket. It’s a cool and trendy way to upgrade a simple outfit! 8. Leggings or pants Protecting your legs from the cold is also essential, which is why you should invest in a good, cozy pair of winter leggings. The best thing about leggings is that they are easy to style, and you can pair them up with a sweater, long shirt, or even a dress. We recommend fleece-lined leggings to stay warm. If you don’t like leggings, you can always go for winter pants. These also go well with sweaters. In fact, black winter pants are so versatile that you can style them with almost every outfit. 9. Jeans Jeans are an all-year-round essential, and it’s easy to style jeans with your winter tops. Plus, you can use them for both casual and semi-casual events. And apart from regular jeans, you can also opt for skinny jeans and style them with knee-length booties! 10. Leather skirt A great thing about winters is that you can play around with different textures and fabrics. And one of the best clothing accessories to experiment with is a leather skirt. Whether you pair it with a sweater or a blouse, it will look great! Gear up today! These are just some of the winter must-haves for this season. Of course, there are a plethora of others, like boots, hats, and scarves, that you should definitely check out. Remember, your closet should reflect your personal style, so make sure you purchase items you really like!

Budget Beauty Tuesday: Editor’s Pick SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak

I have had the worst cold in history. Maybe the flu. At any rate, I have been one sick puppy. So between tea, tissue, and toddies I have been laid up on the couch streaming past seasons of Cake Boss and Crossing Jordan on Netflix. Dayquil, Nighquil, and cough drops just kind of dried me up leaving me rather coo coo. And then I remembered! I received a jar of SheaMoisture Red Bush & Sage Congestion Relief Soak to review. Mind you, I usually only take a soak or bath when in a hotel, so I was quite anxious to check out this natural remedy for my nose which resembled the faucet streaming the water for my soak. I cracked open that jar, and oh my, what a sensory sensation met my nose!

Waterproof Makeup: Keep Your Makeup in Place When It’s Raining

I live in the Bay Area of Northern California, and we have been getting pounded with uncharacteristic torrential rain. Well, maybe torrential is a bit of a stretch, but nonetheless, we are getting drenched. If you, like me, take the time to apply makeup, I’m sure that you want it to be in place even after you face the elements. Over the years, I have learned a few tricks and found a few product that help makeup last through various forms of attack by water—be it sweat from extreme temperatures, water at the beach or the winter rain we are currently experiencing. 1. Primer This magic potion helps makeup stay in place and prevents skin care (moisturizers and serums) from leaving the skin. Try: Smashbox Photo Finish Luminizing Foundation Primer $38 A luminizing primer that fills in fine lines and pores while imparting a beautiful luminous glow to skin. 2. Foundation A foundation that repels water is a must. Try: Make Up For Ever Face & Body Liquid Makeup $38 This waterproof, ultra-light, water-based gel contains no emulsifiers and provides a totally natural, satin finish. 3. Cheek Stain Flush your cheeks with color that stays put. Try: Vapour Beauty Aura Multi-Use Blush – Stain $28 Multi-tasker for cheeks, lips and eyes, with all-day high-impact color. 4. Waterproof Eye Makeup Keep eyeshadow, liner and mascara in place with water resistant formulas while not sacrificing on color, starting with and eyelid primer. Try: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion – Eden (nude and matte) $18 or $23 or XL An eye prep product that provides smoother, longer-lasting, and absolutely crease-proof eyeshadowin a very-wearable, tawny, matte hue. Try: SmashboxWaterproof Shadow Liner Duo $25 A waterproof and crease-resistant cream shadow and liner duo. Try: L’Oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara $7.99 5. Long-Wearing Lip color Whether it’s a rainy day or the sun is shining, you can’t go wrong with a natural lip stain. Try: TarteLipSurgence™ Natural Lip Tint $24 A natural lip stain that is clinically proven to increase lips’ moisture content by 6000%. Shop: Eye Shadow by Smashbox Face Primer by Smashbox
