From toes to tresses and everything in between, here’s what you need to get through the chilly season.
I’m sure a lot of you will agree that the best part (arguably the only good part) about winter is the holidays.
But while you’re out shopping for all your friends and family, it’s important not to forget about yourself.
Stock up the basics, like hydrating skin care and hair products but don’t be afraid to indulge in something a little extra this season.
Here are some essentials you need to include in your own winter beauty wish list.
Kevin Murphy Young Again
Bring dry, damaged strands back to life with the Kevin Murphy Young Again line of hair care products, which includes a shampoo, conditioner and softening hair masque.
On top of reviving hair that has been ravaged by the winter cold, the line is specially designed to help fight the natural aging process of hair with ingredients like Australian fruit extracts, flower extracts, bamboo extracts and baobab seed oil.

Elizabeth Arden UNTOLD Eau De Parfum
Elizabeth Arden UNTOLD Eau De Parfum is a modern but feminine fragrance that can make any woman feel like a million bucks.

The unique scent is a blend of floral (gardenia, patchouli and Egyptian jasmine) and fruity (pear and blackcurrant) and infused with sandalwood and warm musk.
MICRO Pedi
You don’t need to trek to the salon in the snow to get a great pedicure. Get rid of dry, rough heels at home with the easy handheld MICRO Pedi.

The battery-operated roller turns 360 degrees and does as many as 30 spins per second for soles that look and feel so much smoother.
OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection
Before you host or head to another holiday party, get in the spirit with the OPI Mariah Carey Holiday Collection, which features 18 different shades in everything from glittery gold and bronze to bright red and chocolate brown.

The line also includes six new Liquid Sand lacquers that leave a textured matte finish with just a hint of sparkle.
My personal favourites from the collection are Make Him Mine (a light pinkish copper Liquid Sand shade) and In My Santa Suit (a glossy bright red shade).
Sephora Favourites Glitz & Glam

The Sephora Favourites Glitz & Glam set literally has everything you need to pull off virtually any look, from classic and natural to smoky and glamorous.
The best part is that it includes high-end brands like Urban Decay, Nars, Josie Maran, Lancôme and Stila.
The set contains eye shadow, lip gloss, nail polish, cheek tint, mascara, eye liner, beauty balm and false lashes.
Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Oil-Free Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer
I find that once it starts getting cold outside, my skin needs a little extra attention because it dries much faster.

I love Philosophy Take a Deep Breath Oil-Free Energizing Oxygen Gel Cream Moisturizer. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky or oily residue.
As promised, the formula does make your skin look brighter and more rejuvenated, which is something I definitely need during winter.
So, this winter make sure you take some time out to take care of yourself with these amazing beauty products and don't forget to tweet us which product you loved.
