With Christmas around the corner there are a few beauty products that are perfect for the holiday season. Sparkle and shimmer is what it’s all about. Now don’t get me wrong, you can use these products year round… especially if you’re a shimmering kind of gal!

So without further delay, here are five of my favourite holiday beauty products.

The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Body Butter

I love The Body Shop and I absolutely love the smell of this lotion. However, what makes it irresistible is the delicate glitter that is included in the lotion. A bit of shimmer without too much glam! Beware though… this product is only available during the Christmas season… so stock up when you have a chance!

Fresh Twilight Freshface Glow

This primer is amazing! It can be worn alone or under makeup. It has a subtle shimmer to it and makes your skin look extra radiant! Application tip: I wear the primer over my daily SPF moisturizer. It works just as well and it helps keep my makeup in place all day long. This product is available at Sephora and Amazon.

Victoria’s Secret Sparkling Lipstick

Glitter on lips! What more can a girl ask for! What girl doesn’t want a little bit of Victoria’s Secret in their lives? I’ve looked for a lipstick that has a sparkle to it and this one certainly delivers. Application tip: Add a light layer of gloss for extra shine and shimmer.

Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Shimmer Dust

This shimmer dust is fabulous! I adore the feminine “perfume-like” bottle that’s it’s in. The gold powder is amazing and you can dust your face, hair, arms, shoulders, and legs! It’s the perfect product to be paired with the amazing holiday dress you plan on wearing this season!!! This product is also available through Sephora and Amazon!

Look Ma, New Hands!

So you look great but your hands are a dried-up mess. This hand cream by True Blue Spa is amazing. After just a few applications, your hands will be just like new! Now you’re ready to tear through gifts, hold hands with the one you love and handle delicate fabrics. This product is available through Bath and Body Works.

Do you have any products that you would recommend for the holiday season? Feel free to share!
