Lip balm
EOS Smooth Lip Balm in Sweet Mint ($3): This amazing lip formula is packed with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E, soothing shea butter, and jojoba oil, and keeps your pucker smooth and hydrated throughout the brutal winter season. Perfect for the eco-friendly chica–this lip balm is 100 percent organic!
Mascara
CoverGirl LashBlast Clump Crusher ($7): I’m really picky when it comes to mascaras. Since my lashes are already naturally long and thick, I’m always looking for something that’s going to give me long-lasting and dramatic results without the smudge or the clumps. This formula does exactly that!
Body wash
Aveeno Positively Nourishing Smoothing Body Wash ($6): The cold winter weather leaves my skin dry and flaky. This rich exfoilating wash includes pomegranate, rice beads, and smoothing walnut sheels that gently buff away dead, dull skin leaving my body smooth and polished.
Lipstick
Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Suede Lipstick ($9): I’m not the kind of girl that has the time or the patience to be reapplying my lipstick every few hours. I mean who does? This brilliant lipcolor stays on all day and the creamy formula leaves your pout super soft too!
Body lotion
Vaseline Intensive Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion ($6): This body lotion deeply moisturizes dry, chapped skin, leaving it with a pretty and healthy glow.
Hair mask
Pantene Pro-V 2-Minute Hair Masque Deep Conditioner ($7): Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem splurging when it comes to my hair. But this affordable deep-conditioning treatment leaves my strands incredibly soft and shiny for days. I can’t think of a better hair mask to use during the dry, cold season.
Dry shampoo
Suave Professionals Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo ($5): What I love about this spray is not only does it quickly absorb oil and odor from dirty hair, but the keratin-infused formula also leaves my hair soft and full of volume.
Facial cleanser
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ($7): This soothing formula works great on all skin types, but especially for those with sensitive or combination skin, like mine. My dermatologist has been recommending it to me for years.
Moisturizer with SPF
Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 35 ($10): You should NEVER leave the house without applying SPF–and that goes even during the winter time. While most sun-protecting formulas leave skin greasy and with a nasty white residue, this lightweight moisturizer absorbs quickly leaving skin protected and fully hydrated.
Eyeliner
Maybelline Eye Studio Master Precise Liquid Liner ($7): I have yet to find a drugstore liquid eyeliner that gives me these kind of results. This liner easily glides on allowing me to create the perfect cat-eye look.
