Well fellow beauties and fashionistas, these are my favorite things this winter (and holiday!):
1. Bare Escentuals/BareMinerals all-over face color: Rose Radiance
- Unbelievably subtle, yet perfect sheen
- Literally the cherry on top of your make-up application
- Very nice glow, makes your face all rosy without the aid of harsh winter air
- I apply it on my cheekbones, around my eye area (not lids!), tip of my nose, my chin, and top of my forehead
2. Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom
- Love, love, love the warmth the smell of the perfume emits
- Personally works well with my body’s chemistry
- One spritz lasts for a good 4 hours!
But if Euphoria Blossom isn’t really you, feel free to substitute with Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels Wish
- It also has that hint of “comfort” to it (if a perfume could do such a thing)
- You can actually smell it as you wear it, not just the people hugging you!
3. Your generic black leggings
- So in and hot right now, they can range from $5 to $50
- If it doesn’t snow in your area, it’s perfect for a quick errand, class, or holiday shopping
- Looks so damn fierce with boots and legwarmers, and a solid colored jacket/cardigan
- To avoid looking too risque, pair it with a loose top; can also be long enough to cover up your butt
What are some of your winter/holiday must-haves? Do you use any of the ones mentioned?

Oh i LOVE LEGGINGS@@@!!! They are so comfy. I will have to try the perfumes, being a mom makes that less important these days, but i want to smell like something other than peanut butter

I have never gotten into the leggings trend, but I have become more infatuated with it. Maybe that is my winter must-have.

All I need for the winter are my Chapstick and my comfy sweaters. Hmm, nothing more beautiful than being warm and comfortable. =)

guest

guest
well yea but not leggings=p

Leggings are not fierce. They’re unoriginal and unattractive. They are like the trend that will not die. Face it people: tights are not pants.
guest
I wear leggings or footless tights, but as a thermal layer under my regular pants that I wear to the office.
guest
Hate hate hate leggings. Definitely does not belong on a must-have list. I can’t stand all the dance/ballet “inspired” clothes and accessories that are becoming “new trends.”
guest
When I see someone wearing leggings I think “poor dear forgot to put on pants this morning.”
guest
I like leggings. But I do not think that they can be substituted for pants. I like them to use under sweater dresses or long tunics. Not just everyday shirts.
Plus, if you’re like me and live up north, it’s kindof hard to wear just leggings.
guest
my friend uses bare minerals and her makeup always looks great! i want to get some for myself. also, i love leggings. i try to find cute long shirts to wear with them cuz I like to keep my butt covered
guest
I hate leggings, personally, and they are NOT a substitute for pants. I prefer tights with a skirt, because I still like to wear my skirts in the winter, but I also like to be warm. So none of those footless tights for me. I think they defeat the purpose of wearing them. Like I said, I prefer to stay warm. As for perfume, I just bought my mom Cashmere Mist for Christmas, and she and I absolutely love it.

My winter must haves.
-My collection of boots.
-My collection of coats.
-My collection of sweaters.
-My favorite pearl set of earrings.

As for make-up, I totally need my eyeliner, my powder by Very Sexy by VS, and of course The Supernatural by Philosophy.

Yes, I do own a lot of leggings, actually. I’m actually a legging crazy girl!

@mizzXSwTXdorY@xanga - i know, a lot of people seem to be extremely against leggings! oh well! i wear them for me (yes as just bottoms!), and i personally love the look
glad to share that philosophy with you!

@bridgetlee1003@xanga - i highly recommend them as bottoms! i know a lot of girls don’t seem very fond of them to be worn as so, but i think it works, and i think it’s this year’s trend.
and it’s very affordable…

@ur_face_loves_icons@xanga - exactly right? keeping covered is the key to wearing leggings as bottoms. it’s not like your belly’s gonna be hanging out chillin there. the top just has to be long enough to cover the booty.
