winter beauty essentials;

It's April and Brisbane is still slightly confused as to what season it is in! One day it will be scorching hot, the next raining and gloomy, the following windy and cold! But one thing's for sure, the mornings are becoming slightly crisp and cooler which only means one thing- winter is coming!

Winter is my favourite season- fashion wise. Put away your shorties, your bikinis, your thongs and bring out your tights, boots, capes, coats and my favourite- scarves!

As we are transitioning into a different season, it's vital our beauty regime and products transition with us and are altered slightly to adapt to the change in weather!

My name is Wendy. And I am a beautyholic. It's a terrible addiction. I am a sucker for beauty products and their marketing. I love the pretty bottles, exotic smells and colours! Just putting it out there, my addiction has evolved tremendously from a nail file to an extensive collection of perfumes, lotions, nail polish and make up!

Here are my winter beauty essentials!

1. Moroccan Oil. It is as amazing as everyone makes it out to be! It has been two weeks since I purchased the shampoo, conditioner and oil myself and it has completely rebuilt my hair! My hair is stronger, healthier and shinier! Good bye deadends. Smells absolute delish! Do not walk, RUN to your hairdresser now!

2. Le Khakis- Chanel. Yes they have been in season for quite some time, but these colours will never be out of style. They are a must have in your wardrobe palette and who can resist a la coco chanel?

3. Lancome- Hypnose. My favourite mascara ever. Long fluttery lashes are a must! Even for the makeup minimalist. It has taken me months to search for my favourite mascara and we finally have a winner!

4. Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh. Rasberry blended with rose and plum makes for a fruiter take on the original. Yum! Fruity summer sensations.

5. Lucas' Paw Paw Ointment. This is an oldie but a goodie! Not only is it good for those cracked dry winter lips, this baby can be used for almost anything! Cuts, grazes, scratches and personally, a little dab of ointment on my lashes every night before bed helps them grow lucious and long!

6. Body Shop Coconut Butter. I am a Palmer's girl through and through but this little one gives a run for it's money! Nice and thick to prevent dry winter skin and smells so so yummy! The boys love it too ;)

7. NARS Lipstick & Bronzer. Currently a sucker for anything NARS. Their products are to die for! I have been completely missing out. Don't forget to brighten up your outfit with some lippy and of course keep that summer glow with a touch of bronzer!

8. KORA Organic Skincare. Designed by the queen of organic herself, Miranda Kerr, I have heard nothing but pure bliss stories from these products! This Winter I am on the hunt for the perfect organic products for my skin. Time to get rid of the nasties and embrace nature's own ingredients. This is definitely on my maybe list!

What are your winter beauty must-haves? 

You all deserve a little indulgence.

be grateful;

Good evening fashion followers!

How has everyone's week been so far? Depending on what side of the world you live in, you might JUST be starting your week or be nearly half way!

I know many of you dread Mondays, but I absolutely love them. I can honestly say this without any doubt.

 Sure it marks the end of the weekend, but it also marks the beginning of a brand new week! It is a day where you can outline some goals, achieve them and be willing to achieve some more! 

Use it as an opportunity to begin your healthkick/detox diet, your new health and fitness regime or even begin reading that neglected book you've had sitting on your shelf for weeks!

Be optimistic for the week ahead. The more positivity you manifest, the more you will embrace in your life. 

I found this cute post on tumblr.com 

Puts the words right in my mouth. Be grateful for being able to see the beginning of another week! 

Before I bid you adieu, I have some very exciting news to share with you all! Always Threaded is working on a few little projects to share with you dedicated readers. Be sure to keep an eye out for hints. I am going to be a very very busy bee the next few months! 

Have a fabulous week! 

Gros bisous
