So the weather outside may be frightful. (Did anyone leave the house last night? OMG, I nearly caught hypothermia on the way home.) But that doesn’t change the fact that next week we’ll be in May. MAY! How that happened, I don’t know—but May flat out requires a scent to go with. Meaning a spring one. Yes, even if the weather isn’t quite co-operating yet.
I’m not really a signature scent person—the more beauty products, the better, I always say*—so switching up your fragrance with the seasons is definitely something I encourage. *And this sentence in turn will encourage earnest commenters like the one who dropped by last week to tell me I am “vapid,” “insecure,” and that “nobody needs this many products in their life.” Ha!

(OR, if you’re a geeky makeup collector like me, you may put it straight in the “archives” and not actually *cough* use it….)
What? You don’t archive your makeup?
Okay, moving right along. Another reason holiday collections rule is because they usually involve items you might not normally buy (like the body powder I’m going to tell you about in a sec), fun seasonal colours or amazingly well-priced palettes.
