If there's one thing I'm looking forward to this Christmas, it's all the holiday desserts! It's the ONLY time of year I don't feel guilty about embracing my sweet tooth. You'll catch me nibbling on everything from pumpkin pie to Abuela's delicious brown sugar and rum filled bizcocho de navidad. But until Nochebuena actually comes, I intend on staying away from the sweets as much as possible (so I can still manage to squeeze into my holiday dresses).
Who says I can't indulge, though, with some holiday dessert-inspired beauty buys? That's right, there's a beauty product out there for every sugar-enticing treat out there– from crème brulee to raspberry champagne and even eggnog! How sweet is that? Look beautiful this winter with some of these guilt-free babies that smell good enough to eat!

Chocolate sundae
I don’t have to wait for the holidays to enjoy a nice pint of chocolate ice cream. But the high calorie count keeps me feeling kind of guilty hours after. So instead of torturing myself, I plan on pampering myself with FarmHouse Fresh Sundae Best Chocolate Soothing Face Mask ($20) instead. This formula is infused with wholesome ingredients like cocoa, coconut milk and honey that work to soften skin, fight fine lines and wrinkles and leave your face looking incredibly revitalized and radiant! Sounds pretty delicious to me!
Candy cane
Give your hands an especially sweet treatment with Bath and Body Works Candy Cane Bliss Gentle Foaming Hand Soap ($6), inspired by the holiday’s signature candy. This exclusive formula is infused with crisp peppermint, candied vanilla, coconut milk, olive fruit and honey to leave your skin soft and smelling like Christmas!
Cranberry
Soak up the scents of the season with The Body Shop’s Cranberry Joy Bath Salts ($10). The fragranced crystals easily dissolve in water, creating an indulgent fruity cranberry bath that will leave your skin feeling soft and smelling deliciously festive!
Raspberry
What’s better than some raspberry flan on Christmas Eve? Raspberry champagne of course! Slather on some of Bliss Raspberry Champagne Body Butter ($29) on your body for a smooth and hydrating effect. You’ll love the bubbly-inspired scent it gives off too!
Gingerbread
There’s nothing like some warm, tasty gingerbread cookies on a cold winter night. So why not enjoy a richly nourishing exfoliating body scrub like Philosophy The Gingerbread Man ($25), that’s full of this same spiced, ginger scent?
Crème brulee
Get a little fancy this holiday season with Laura Mercier Crème Brulee Body & Bath Collection ($227). These products use natural ingredients such as honey and sugar to leave your skin feeling soft and moisturized.
Brown sugar
During the holidays, my abuelita swaps the white sugar for brown sugar in practically all of her desserts. This super sweet ingredient is not just yummy but really works to exfoliate and condition lips, leaving them soft and polished. Try Fresh Sugar Lip Polish ($22). You’ll find yourself tempted to lick the sugary taste off of your pout!
Eggnog
Whether you like the American version or prefer Puerto Rican coquito, eggnog is a staple in almost every household during Christmas Eve. Treat yourself to some of Philosophy's Old Fashioned Eggnog Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath ($16). This three-in one formula will not only bring out your holiday spirit but leave your hair and body clean, conditioned and super soft!
Pumpkin
Before you take a bite into your next piece of pumpkin pie, try this holiday-inspired WEN by ChazDean Fall Ginger Pumpkin Seasonal Cleansing Conditioner ($29). I can’t think of a better way to keep your hair healthy and soft while also taking in the delicious scents of fall!
Vanilla
Yes your baby can enjoy the holiday scents too with Lavanilla The Healthy Baby Wash ($16). This all-natural body and hair wash contains natural minerals, vitamins and soothing coconut and vanilla oil that gently cleanse and soften your baby’s hair and skin. Best part? It’s also tear-free!
