My Winter Essentials: Beauty + Wardrobe

Winter is fastly approaching our doors and the best way to beat this season is to be prepared! You can agree to this if you hate the cold like me! Now, we all know about bundling up and the not-so-fashionable but warm snow boots but to keep it fun, I like adding a few cute and comfy pieces. I don’t know about you but this “method” helps me enjoy this most unlikable season! Here are My Winter Essentials: Beauty + Wardrobe! 

My Winter Essentials: Beauty + Wardrobe

This list, however, will never be complete without me mentioning  C O F F E E first! I know this should be about my fashion and beauty essentials but let’s give coffee the attention it deserves for the much-needed warmth and energy it gives us especially on those cold winter mornings! Thank you C O F F E E !! LOL.

Okay! We have that out of the way so let’s officially begin this wintery post!

Wardrobe

Number one on my fashion list are knitted sweaters! They’re warm, comfy and not to mention very stylish! Honestly, knitted sweaters are my go-to during this season! I specifically like that I don’t really need to layer it with another cardigan or sweater to keep me warm especially if the material is already thick enough. With knitted sweaters, I only wear my coat on top of it and I’m pretty much good to go feeling light and warm!

Next are turtle necks! Personally, I like to layer up when wearing this type of clothing. I feel like adding a faux fur vest, cardigan or even a denim jacket accentuates it more and would make you look very put together. Fine-knitted turtle necks are my personal preference since this material is both comfy and warm but also aesthetically beautiful.

Another favourite is the thick scarves. I don’t specifically look for a certain material or fabric but it’s really important that I wear a thick scarf this season to keep me warm. However, I personally like ’em to be a bit longer so I can wear it like a shawl at work.

For my head, knitted beanies are a must! They can be cute and stylish but most importantly helps to keep me warm!

Since all our winter gears (LOL) can be heavy, I also like wearing sling bags than regular handbags. I find it more practical and convenient especially that I like keeping my hands in my coat’s pocket to keep ’em warm. Plus, they’re lighter and so much easier to carry around especially if I have to walk a long distance in the snow.

Beauty

Taking care of our skin should be a year-round duty but I feel like we should be more diligent with our skincare routine during the Winter season. Neglecting your skin this season can be damaging because the cold weather can be harsh on our skin.

For skincare, using a thick moisturizer is essential for me this season to keep my skin well hydrated. The cold air can dry up my skin so easily but moisturizing daily helps me to combat this. Of course, SPF is still a must even though we don’t see Mr. Sun that much!

Although I have been wearing less and less makeup for the past few months, I still use a few essentials to complete my everyday look and to help me look more presentable. Since I no longer wear foundation every day, concealer is very important to cover up my blemishes or any annoying acne popping out on my face.

Blushes and lipsticks are my other essentials to give colour to my face.

So there goes My Winter Essentials: Beauty + Wardrobe! Hope you guys enjoyed this post!
