You know how I know it’s Winter? When its 60 degrees in New York one day and it’s 10 inches of snow predicted for the next. You know how else I know it’s Winter? When I start overly moisturizing myself to the point I glide across a room when I walk. Lucky enough, the Winter has been a mild one in Gotham but it can be a little bit of hell on your skin when it’s warm one day and cold the next.

I’ve been quite busy sharing my thoughts on a slew of new skincare these past few weeks! Some of which are hopefully getting you through the cold (and warm) weather.

Here’s a remind of some skincare you should buy and others you should avoid.

Please don’t use your moisturizer as an eye cream. Like you, I read a lot of different beauty reviews and articles and some suggest not splurging on an eye, that moisturizer basically performs the same functions as an eye cream.

Rita Ora collaborated with Rimmel to create the new My Grey Collection inspired by the new Fifty Shades Darker movie. The collection launches in the UK this month but hasn’t yet arrived here in the US.

I was somehow expecting the market to be flooded with Fifty Shades Darker beauty and makeup stuff but this year all is quiet.

The Sephora Jack Black Birthday Gift for 2017 is one of three Birthday Gift Sets that Sephora will be gifting Beauty Insiders during their Birthday Month! I actually thought this was a rather nice set for guys that shop at Sephora. We have guys that like makeup out there or just maybe ones that shop at Sephora for their skincare. It’s kind of nice to see a unisex birthday gift that will be appealing to girls, guys, and skincare junkies in general.

This set includes 1 oz sizes of Jack Black Clean Break Oil-Free Moisturizer as well as Deep Dive Glycolic Facial Cleanser! I actually haven’t tried either one of these and even if they are meant for dudes, I don’t mind using them on my own face 😉 I know a ton of girls that swear by Jack Black’s stuff!

If it’s your birthday month head over to sephora.com to add this or any of the other Birthday Sets to your cart. Or grab the set in store by presenting your Beauty Insider Card.

Enjoy!
