    November Beauty Essentials

    November is the perfect month for change! With the change in time and a change and temperature you need a few new beauty products to keep you at the top of your game. From full cooling body cloths to lip gloss, here are the beauty essentials you need for the festive month ahead!

    These hydrating collagen eye pads by wilmaschumann, are an intense hydration-boosting for the under eye with 100% pure collagen. These beauties are perfect for any skin type and visibly and effectively improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reduce puffiness. I love using these in the morning!

    With the temperatures cooling down outdoors, people may start cranking up the heat – especially in the office! This winter you won’t have to worry about embarrassing swear under all those layers with your new deskside essential – Ban Total Refresh Cooling Body Cloths. These unique towelettes wipe away sweat, cool the body down, and leave a unique soft powder finish, so you’re left feeling completely refreshed, with no sticky residue. Unlike others, these cloths will leave skin feeling smooth and silky, instead of wet and sticky ($3.29; Drugstores and Mass Retailers).

    Sweater season may be underway, but itchy fabrics can leave your skin irritated. With new Curél Itch Defense Instant Soothing Moisturizing Spray, you can spray away pesky flare ups and itchy bumps right when you need it! This non-medicated, moisturizing spray instantly relieves dry, itchy skin with cooling hydration. Uniquely soothing, this formula delivers a mix of light yet potent hydrators to ease parched, itchy skin right where you need it. The Proprietary Cooling Complex feels soothing like a cold compress, lending you instant relief ($8.99; new for October 2015 Drug and mass merchants)!

    Need a pick me up after a late night out – or at the office? Stash a few EyeRepair Spa by Look Beauty Eye Puffiness Minimizing Patches at your desk to mask away signs of fatigue. This effective skin treatment minimizes eye puffiness and increases elasticity of the eye area. Ginkgo & Cucumber Extract helps skin de-stress and decongest so puffiness is reduced. Skin looks and feels smoother and tighter ($9.99 for 5 treatments; Amazon.com).

    L030true lipz completely change my perception on lip gloss. This breakthrough in lip color and deep hydration is so unique, and the colors are awesome! Envision satin-smooth gloss in the most en vogue shades gliding effortlessly over your lips while depositing ingredients known for nourishing, hydrating, conditioning and healing. Finally, a gloss that leaves your lips feeling luxuriously soft and supple…even the day after you’ve worn it. My November picks are Lustre L031 and Luste L036.

    For just a hint of color and a whole lot of conditioning, Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm, ($7, burtsbees.com) The Botanical Waxes in these softly tinted balms will take your lips to hydrated and lovely in one pretty swipe.

    Did I say Days three and five of World MasterCard Fashion Week SS14 were my favourite? Well, Day Four was all kinds of awesome! We hung out backstage, I got to interview of Nikki Wirthensohn of NARCES (who is just too lovely for words!), we saw the Target show which was just THE BEST (came home with the coziest of blankets!), and course we had all the fun in the world off the runway; taking pics and creating unforgettable memories. Thank you so much, you guys rock!
