While it’s getting chilly down here in the Dirty South (like 65, maybe) it’s not as cold as the rest of the country, but I’m still already noticing that typical winter dryness.

I’m sure you’ve seen this stuff on the store shelves and wondered if it was worth the money. Trust me – it is. And with the wide variety of these babies, you’ll definitely find one that will be the perfect addition to your beauty regimen this winter.

I’m pretty sure he was referring to things like school work and job interviews, but I took that advice to heart….with beauty supplies.

You never know what could happen on your way to class – blisters from your shoes, a sudden monsoon, laughing so hard you cry off all your mascara – so it’s best to bring along a few things to save you from a makeup meltdown.
