Here in New York the holidays have come and gone, leaving behind frigid weather, which frankly sucks when not paired with trimmed Scotch pines and the promise of presents. Not only am I longing for something cozy and warm, but I find myself wanting to look how my pumpkin spice latte tastes. Enter MAC's winter collection, "Warm & Cozy," a non-cheesy but chocolaty take on the winter look. It's appropriate for your look at the ski-lodge (also known as the office with a broken boiler) and it utilizes essential oils and minerals to take care of dry, winterized skin.

Collections like Tinted Lip Conditioners, Mineralize Skinfinishes, All Over Lotions, and Care Blends Essential Oils are designed for the holiday detox-- a "fireside fantasy away from the crowds." When the elements are as harsh and extreme as your in-laws, it's kind of nice to unwind with the Essential Oils in Sweet Orange + Lavender or Grapefruit + Chamomile. It maybe kind of lame that I get a festive feeling when putting on products with names like Mulled Cider Eyeshadow and Dim the Lights Nail Lacquer, but it sort of does make me feel, as MAC puts it "like being in a majestic lodge surrounded by all of life's real comforts, and natural beauty."
