December Favorites 2013

I hope everyone had a wonderful December! It's kind of a bittersweet month for me. I love the holidays and festiveness, but it's also very hard to be so far away from my family at this time.

It's been a really busy month for me; working hard to finish everything up before I leave for South Africa, and also getting things done for the wedding. We are leaving in exactly 11 days, and I can't be more excited!

Here are some things I've been loving during December:
1. Dior Incognito

I've been on the lookout for a nice nude nail polish, and I think I found the perfect one for me. If you don't choose the correct nude shade for your skin tone, you can end up looking like you have no nails... Only fingers. Yes, a little weird and creepy. Anyway, so I found this one that has a slight tint of blush in there, which looks beautiful on my nails. Also Dior nail polish, where have you been all my life!? I guess you pay for quality.

2. The Wet Brush

My tangle-prone hair and I are always on the search for new ways to de-tangle, brush and de-knot. I've read about this brush before, and that it's usually used on children's fine hair when wet. Tried it. Loved it. Will be using it. Forever.

3. MAC Pro Eye Makeup Remover

I despise taking my eye-makeup off at the end of the day, but alas, any person would tell you not to go to bed with makeup on, so the mascara and liner need to go. I originally wanted to get the MAC Cleanse-Off Oil, but I couldn't find it at the store, so I got this one instead. It works well and I can remove all of my eye-makeup with very little effort.

4. HUNTER Original Short rain boots

Because I "needed" another pair of rain boots!? I love the black Regent Neoprene ones I have, but I've always wanted the classic short ones in navy, too. It's literally been raining for two weeks straight in Taipei, and now I don't feel so bad about getting another pair of rain boots.

5. REBECCA MINKOFF Mini Mac

I've had the Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac purse on my wishlist for a loooong time, but for some reason I just couldn't decide which color I wanted (they come in a huge variety of colors). When I saw it in the color Port I just knew that's the one I wanted. I love this bag and I just know I'm going to be getting A LOT of use out of it.

What are your favorites from December?
HAPPY NEW YEAR
