"Something magic involving beauty is gonna be announced soon," fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni teased on Instagram. Her social media presence (15.6 million Instagram followers and counting) and knack for monetizing it all but ensures whatever that "magic" is will be a success. (Ferragni and her blog, The Blonde Salad, were even the subject of a Harvard case study — twice.)
When a beauty product flies off shelves almost immediately, it's usually a pretty safe bet that it's good. Of course, that's not always the case — but more often than not, it is. After all, all those people snapping it up are probably on to something (this holds doubly true if the product in question has a waiting list that's miles long).
Ah, winter. While we're fans of shopping at outdoor holiday markets for super-cute trinkets, pretending to be Olympic athletes on the ice skating rink and sipping hot chocolate with lots and lots of whipped cream, we're not quite as in love with what the colder weather does to our skin. Yep, the frigid air of winter can lead to a seriously dry, dull complexion. While switching to a thicker, richer moisturizer is certainly helpful this time of year, using the right makeup is also key.
