Lipstick League Question of the Week
Do you have beauty products that you reserve “for holidays only”? If so, what are they?
G's answer: I actually have a fragrance that I covet and only bring out twice a year on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Believe it or not, it's the Limited Edition Victoria's Secret body mist in Gilded Ginger Creme. It was released in 2009 as part of an LE collection for the holidays, and I bought it at the VS outlet back in 2010. If I had known then that VS would not release this fragrance ever again (I check every holiday season), I would have bought twenty bottles that day. It's one of the most beautiful, delicious holiday scents I've ever come across and I just don't understand why VS stopped releasing holiday body collections like this every year! I think VS released fragrances for the holidays that were even better than B&BW holiday scents because they always seemed more complex and original.

Do YOU have any beauty products that you reserve "for holidays only"?
Yes, Bath & Body Works Twisted Peppermint lotion. The rest of the year it just seems.... wrong. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have glittery makeup reserved for holiday only, like my Hard Candy Lash Tinsel glitter mascara, NYX glitter eyeliners, my Wet N Wild Brilliance glitter lip gloss. and a NYX glitter cream palette that I thought was eyeshadow when I bought it, only it says on it, "Not intended to be used around the eye area". That and the Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar line. I love it but when I wear it people start saying they smell cookies and it took me several wearings to figure out it was ME that smelled like cookies so I just use it for the holidays now and wear a citrusy scent the rest of the year. Oh that and red nail polish. For some reason I save the red for Christmas only.
ReplyDeleteGlitter-bombing for me too!!! Thanks for listing off what you like to use--I haven't tried any of those. This year, it's Milani Haute Flash Lip Glosses, Milani Gloss Pencils, and Urban Decay Glitter Liner and Sephora Glitter Mascara/Liner. I reach for glitter polishes more often this time of the year too. Also, red lipcolor but that's more for special occasions rather than holiday-only.
