Hey lovelies! It’s the last Friday of 2016, can you believe it! I can’t believe the year has blown by this fast. I’ve been planning for my 2017 editorial, and I’m super excited to announce that I’m going to be doing videos on YouTube now! I decided that since I love watching YouTube videos so much, I should just get onboard with making my own 🙂 So I’ll be posting 1 video a week for you guys every single Thursday, starting next week! Be sure to Subscribe to my channel here so you can easily watch the latest videos!
For today’s post, I want to tell you guys about my top 4 products that I’ve been using for the month of December. One of these products is kind of a weird one, so let me know if the comments if you’ve tried it or if you think you might give it a try!
#1 – bareMinerals Bare Haven Essential Moisturizing Soft Cream
Why do I love it?
• SUPER hydrating – in the winter, I need extra hydrating cause my skin is so freaking dry, and this really does the trick
• Doesn’t clog my pores or irritate my acne – I have combination and acne prone skin, and even though this is a heavier moisturizer than I normally use, it doesn’t cause me to break out
Cons?
• You have to scoop it out since the packaging is a tub, which is kind of annoying
#2 – Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator in Gilded Honey
Why do I love it?
• Extremely pigmented – I hate when you go to put it on your skin and you can’t even see it at all…this goes on like butter and it’s definitely visible
• Perfect dewy glow! (without making you look wet 😉 )
• Versatile with different skin tones – it looks great on my fair skin, but it would also look AMAZING on a darker skin tone, so I could definitely wear it in the summer as well
Cons?
• Kind of spendy – $26.00 for 0.16oz
• Has some glitter in it (not too much, but still, if you don’t like glitter, you might not care for this product)
#3 – theBalm Cosmetics Mad Lash Mascara
Why do I love it?
• Intense volume and length! Thank you Ipsy for putting this in my December Glam Bag! This literally made my lashes so long that even my husband noticed!
• Not very expensive – $18.00 for 0.27oz at theBalm.com
Cons?
• Not available in stores 🙂 but you can purchase it on Amazon here or theBalm.com here
#4 – Pacifica Underarm Deodorant Wipes
Why do I love it?
• No white nasty residue under your arms!
• Compact – perfect for your purse or carryon
• All natural – free from parabens and sulfates, 100% vegan and not tested on animals
• Oregon based company – largest 100% vegan beauty brand in the USA!
Cons?
• I have to reapply once a day if I use these without regular deodorant. However, I find that these works best as a refresher, or right after deodorant, because there is no residue 🙂
Those are my December favorites, I hope you guys will give them a try and let me know how you like them! See you next year 😛

Great products! I use a lot of the bare minerals products already. Never tried that one though.
Love bare minerals. Have used their products in the past. I would also highly recommend.
These are all great choices. My face gets so dry fast. I might need to try the super hydrating cream that you recommended. Thank you for this great post.
I love the look of that bare minerals moisturiser! Didn’t realise they did skincare, hydrating is what I need right now!!
I could definitely use the deodorant wipes. It gets HOT here in DC in the summer.
I have heard so many great things about the guilded honey highlighter! I’m just a bit afraid it will look strange on my pale skin. These seem like great items!
