EDITOR'S PICKS: Holiday Beauty Report 2018

Here's a round up of what I'm loving and coveting this month! Whether you're looking to buy a gift for a loved-one or for yourself, the latest and greatest in beauty will definitely put you in a shopping spirit.

CHANEL

COLLECTION LIBRE 2018

This might just be my all time favourite holiday collection from Chanel! Inspired by Mademoiselle's personal emblem and astrological sign, Lucia Pica created a collection in celebration of the lion, rich in metallic textures, opulent golden shades, and luxurious reds. Luminosity, iridescence and striking colours, form the perfect recipe for the ultimate holiday look!
