Can you believe the year is nearly over? This time of year always feels extra special, doesn’t it? Between the cozy evenings, festive decorations, and all the holiday magic in the air, there’s something about December that makes everything feel just a little bit more meaningful.

I wanted to share my go-to skincare and makeup routine with you—my essentials to keep me feeling radiant and ready for whatever the season brings. Whether it’s a holiday dinner, a cozy get-together, or just treating myself to a quiet night, these products are my little holiday indulgence that keeps me glowing.

First Things First: My Glow Boost

The holidays can get a little hectic, but there’s one thing I always make time for: my skincare. I always start my morning ( and end my days) with 9-11 drops of Ageless Skin Serum. It’s the perfect moisturizer that leaves my skin feeling instantly softer, smoother, buoyant and fresh.

With the chilly weather and all the festive lights around, this serum has been my secret to maintaining a seasonal glow without piling on heavy layers. It’s a little treat for my skin that I look forward to every day and night!

Next, My Sacred Moment with SACRED TONIC

When my skin is particularly thirsty, I generously spritz my face, neck and decollete with Sacred Tonic, before Ageless Skin Serum for that extra boost of humectant hydration-like a mini spa experience anytime anywhere.

With all the holiday stress and running around, it’s the perfect way to calm my skin and spirit, and take a few deep soothing breaths. Many of my friends and customers use it at their nightstand, to aid in lulling them into a sound slumber. 

Don’t Forget the Lips

Now, let’s talk about winter Lip Relief I’ll be frank—winter’s harsh winds and icy chill can leave your lips feeling like a barren desert. That’s why I never go anywhere without my Lip Repair—it’s my ultimate savior! My husband, daughter and I have it in our pockets at all times. It’s my ultimate lip savior, whether I’m layering under a bold lip color for a night out or just keeping it simple. This balm smooths, nourishes and repairs, making sure my lips stay soft and hydrated no matter what color I wear-particularly my bold matte signature reds-keeping my pout moisturized under an indelible matte formulation.

The Perfect Red Lip: A Classic

Speaking of bold reds, can we talk about how iconic a red lip is for the holidays? I’ve been loving the deep, rich lipstick in velvety red—it’s the perfect shade that makes you feel festive and chic in an instant. It’s one of those colors that just works on everyone, and I find it makes me feel like I’m ready to take on whatever the season throws my way. For something a little more vibrant, I also adore a little silky, matte lipstick—it’s got that fun, bold vibe that’s perfect for all those holiday gatherings and parties.

For something a little more vibrant, I also adore a silky, matte lipstick—it has that fun, bold vibe that's perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual day or a night out. Just pop on a coat of mascara, and you’re good to go!

For Those Busy Days

We all have those days when there's no time for a full face routine, but still want to look pulled-together. Here’s my go-to foundation palette that’s in my home and my MU kit, to even skin tones, add dimension with soft contours and highlights, and add warmth and glow. It’s easy to apply and gives you a fresh even base in seconds especially over a Pb prepped face—perfect for anytime—running errands, spending time with loved ones or any special occasion. Plus, it’s ideal for those moments when you want your skin to look flawless with minimal effort.

Add a quick lip and cheek tint to amplify your seamless complexion. It’s so easy to apply and gives you that fresh, beautiful hint of color.

The Finishing Touch

Let’s talk about skin concerns—especially in the winter when it’s so easy for dry spots, blemishes, redness, and flare-ups to arise. Savior Salve is an honest game-changer for me, my family and everyone I know. It’s a total lifesaver when the cold air starts taking a toll on my skin. Whether I’m dealing with those little dry patches or redness, or if I’ve had a skin flare-up, Savior Salve has got me covered. It’s perfect for people who have skin conditions like dermatitis, as it helps soothe and restore balance during the winter months. Just a tiny bit goes a long way, and it’s been an absolute essential for me.

I keep it with me everywhere I go, especially during the winter season when I want my skin to stay balanced and nourished.

Wrapping It Up: Your Holiday Beauty Ritual

The holidays are a whirlwind—parties, family time, and everything in between. But amidst the chaos, they’re also the perfect opportunity to show yourself some love and embrace that inside-out glow. That’s why the Pb’s Essentials Collection is my ultimate go-to—not just for me, but for my family, every celeb, model, and fashion insider I work with. Aptly named, this collection truly covers all the bases, ensuring every skincare need is met with simplicity, efficacy and ease.

These products keep me radiant and feeling amazing, whether I’m stepping into the spotlight, savoring quiet moments at home, or juggling everything the season throws my way. So, as you navigate this winter, don’t forget to treat yourself with the care you deserve. 

Wishing you an end of year and a new beginning filled with glow, joy, and all the magic the season has to offer.

With Purpose & Gratitude,
