25 Winter Essentials to Help Brave the Cold

You’ll be so happy you have these basics on hand once the cold really sets in.

Sometimes, we actually like the cold. It’s the season we get to wear yummy sweatshirts and have an excuse to drink hot apple cider. And once outdoors, it’s not all that bad when you’re dressed for it. These are some of the basics we turn to season after season.

    is the laneige lip mask really so good? You mention it in many of your posts

      I bought the laneige tube product based on a recommendation from here. Personally I found it okay, nothing special. Maybe it’s more helpful for people who suffer from super dry lips?

      i personally use vaseline, is there any benefit to this product over vaseline?
      other than a nice smell/ color?

      I love it. Works very well. Yea I think if you have very dry lips you notice the benefits more

    I tried the laneige lip mask too. It’s definitely a nice thing to treat yourself with but I didn’t find that it was different than Vaseline

      I think laniege is more comfortable on the lips than Vaseline. Trader joes also sells something similar.

        i found that the laneige lip mask was more moisturizing and firming then both vaseline and the trader joes lip mask dupe for laneige. i sufffer from severely dry lips and it helps a lot. definitely recommend it.

    Hi I just wanted to mention that it isn’t certain that the laniege mask is kosher you’ll be better off with something like Vaseline which is unscented and unflavored or summer Fridays which is vegan so it’s kosher this works great too.
