CC Loves... These Beauty Products!

Darlings, CC's rounded up her preferred products for maintaining gorgeous, glowing skin and healthy hair as daylight dwindles and the wind whips!
No Makeup Makeup Blush + Brush Duo. A lip and cheek all-in-one? Yes, darlings! This beautiful blush & lip color’s luxury pigments imbue soft radiance, creating a gorgeous, glowing tint. With skin-loving ingredients like Vitamin E and Vitamin B plus signature Flex Shade Technology, this divine duo delivers a gorgeous flush while smoothing pores and fine lines with a second-skin finish. Offered in shades Peach, Pink and Plum, with a new angled Blush Brush for smooth and effortless application!
Chanel Les 9 Ombres High Intensity Eye Shadow Palette in Shade 849, The Space Traveler, at chanel.com.
YSL Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick, at yslbeauty.com. CC's fab friend had it engraved with her name and initials!
Mienne Body  Serum, infused with peptides to rejuvenate skin, this lightweight serum soothes and smooths while invigorating the senses, at mienne.com.
Sexual wellness brand Mienne describes its approach: “The tingle of cold marble. A rich lather. The smear of butter on toast. When you pay attention to sensation, your whole worldview shifts. Each moment of the day becomes sensual. The humdrum is now hot and the mundane, miraculous.This is the Mienne effect — formulas that turn you on to a more erotic world.”
Kerasilk Recovery Mask, an intensive, deep-repair treatment formulated to rescue dry, stressed, and/or chemically treated hair: super hydrating yet lightweight - a cold-weather hair savior when strands are especially vulnerable to static, brittleness and dryness. 
Goldwell Dualsenses Bond Pro 60-second Treatment, a rapid-acting bond-repair mask that strengthens fragile, damaged hair; enriched with peptides and amino acids and infused with algae extracts, it rebuilds hair's structure by forming new hydrogen and ionic bonds that ensure hydration.
Which of these wonders will you add to your winter beauty regimen?
