Can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner! I'm absolutely loving anything holiday-related: shopping, wrapping of presents, cool weather, parties, bold lips. But before I head out, here's some beauty stuff I'm sure will be in my bag wherever I go in the next few days.

Just because I wear makeup doesn't mean I bring everything with me. The less products, the better. But these are definitely my staples.

MAKEUP WIPES ||

I can't stress how much I need these! You never know what'll happen in a gathering or party. The place might be too hot or your lipstick might smear. Whatever happens, I have something that can remove my makeup anytime, anywhere.

NUDE LIPLINER ||

I still can't decide whether I'll go nude or bold but either way, nude liners come in handy. This is the time of eating, drinking, and chatting and I definitely need something to keep my lipstick in place and on my lips for a long time. Also, a nude liner can also save you from having the dreaded lipstick halo. ;)

LIP BALM ||

Speaking of lip products, lip balm is something I can't leave at home. I need this to keep my lips from drying and flaking and we all know dry and flaky lips are a big no-no in rocking a bold lip. I also like using this on top of my lipstick as it will add shine while keeping my lips soft and hydrated.

COMPACT MIRROR ||

Come on, you know you need this. You can't always go to the bathroom to check on your makeup; hence, a compact mirror will instantly help whether you're in a car or an outdoor place. Just don't excessively take it out...

And that's it! What's your holiday beauty essentials?
