Some of my favorite small luxuries are under $50 and available at lots of different retailers. If you’re ready to spoil a loved one, or yourself, during the holiday season then keep reading!

HAND CREAM

Hand cream is something I’ve always carried in my handbag but 2020 has increased that number three times over. COVID-19 spikes have me so paranoid that I find myself washing my hands every time I even think about, whether I’ve left the house or not.

FRAGRANCE

Fragrance is so powerful. I posted a while back about buying fragrance while traveling to remember trips and it was so fun to read your DMS about your favorite fragrances. I have a collection that I rotate based on seasons and my mood. I’m sharing a few of my top picks below.

Elevate your shower experience with relaxing fragrances, moisturizing formulas, and gorgeous packaging. My all-around and aesthetic favorite is Necessaire. I highly recommend this vegan, cruelty-free, and essential oil fragranced option. Looking for another clean option or one that’s more budget friendly? Click below.

LIPSTICK

Lipstick and lip stains are my not-so-secret weapons. Even with masking up, I’ve found that wearing a bold lip upgrades both my look and my confidence. Check out what I’m loving at all price points below.

FACE MASK

No, not *that* face mask. We’re talking skincare. Our skin can definitely use some extra loving in the winter and also with combating the dreaded maskne. Grab a glass of vino and cozy up for a night of self-care with my mask favorites.
