We all need a little bit of self-love during the midterm season especially during the gloomy and cold winter months. Here are beauty products worth buying for yourself when you need a little self-love: 

 

Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll Blush Lips and Cheeks: This product, although a bit expensive (about $50 dollars) is amazing and is perfect for splurging. It is a lip and cheek tint with many different colours. It is pigmented so you only need one dot of it on each cheek and therefore will last you a really, really longtime. The colours range from bright reds, to nudes, to purples. This product will bring colour to your cheeks and a smile on your face. I use the colour #6 which is a pinky nude and looks very natural on my complexion. You can buy this product at Holt Renfrew or at Sephora: https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/baby-doll-kiss-blush-lips-cheeks-P386609

 

 

Perfume: perfume is the perfect product to splurge on yourself because once you find that perfect match you will feel so happy because the smell with bring you to such a good and warm place. My favourite perfumes to splurge on are the ones from Sud Pacifique, Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium and Tom Ford CaféRose. These are all beautiful scents that will make you feel luxurious and people will complement you all the time. You can find these perfumes at Sephora: https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/

 

 

Beautifully scented body lotion: 

Get a lotion that you can use after you shower or whenever you want to pamper yourself. You will feel good and smell amazing. I love the ones from Lush, especially the Sleepy body lotion, it smells like beautiful lavender and makes me feel clean, fresh and relaxed: https://www.lush.ca/en/body/body-lotions/sleepy/06854.html

Lipstick: lipstick is a great way to add colour to your face when your on the go. If you are enduring the winter slump, don’t feel like wearing makeup just dab on some lipstick and you will look fresh and ready to conquer the world! My favourite lipstick right now is Maybelline’s Warm Me Up. This is a nude pink lipstick that I love because it is the perfect shade for me and goes with literally everything: https://www.amazon.ca/Maybelline-New-York-Colorsensational-Lipcolor/dp/B002L6R2MK
