I\u2019d dabbled before \u2013 sticking to consistent use for a few weeks or months here and there \u2013 but would always inevitably fall out of routine and forget about the many concoctions I\u2019d committed to. But this year left little distraction, with my abandoned supplements shelf sitting accusingly alongside my coffee machine as I re-caffeinated throughout the day. Now that we were all WFH, it was much easier to recommit and stay on track. The Beauty Chef\u2019s Collagen Inner Beauty Boost quickly became a delicious desk-side ritual, which I would serve chilled and mixed with sparkling water for a refreshing sip that\u2019s also said to support collagen production.

But while we were lighting our one-hundredth candle, Gucci was unveiling the newest fragrance in the Gucci Bloom collection: Profumo Di Fiori. If you\u2019re new to the line, it\u2019s meant to evoke the floral scents of the Italian countryside. Its latest launch, housed inside a honey-yellow bottle, contains notes of tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The scent is fresh, floral, and earthy, a necessary reminder of what beauty waits for us outdoors as we fight to end the coronavirus pandemic. Perfect for the world-traveler who\u2019s unimpressed with her daily journey to the living room and back, the Gucci Bloom fragrance is the next-best escape.

I remember slathering my pout with sticky gloss, after thoughtfully choosing one flavor out of the obscure amount that I collected. My hair would get stuck on my lips from the faintest gust of wind. Over the years, I&#8217;m happy to report that I&#8217;ve refined my makeup routine, and the lip gloss category has majorly improved as a whole, too. Together, we&#8217;ve grown up and lip gloss has expanded into a whole new realm of possibility with the launch of oil and butter-infused formulas that double as a lip treatment. Instead of being sticky, they&#8217;re juicy, and by that, I mean rich, hydrating, and smooth. My favorite formula is from the cool-and-clean beauty brand of the moment: Kosas. These lip glosses may not look particularly revolutionary, but for the person who used to smear glue-like gloss onto their lips, as I did, it certainly is.&#8221; &#8211; Marisa Petrarca, US style and beauty editor<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width wp-image-182884 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/HotList6-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1106\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"product-style\">L\u2019Occitane Almond Christmas ornament, $14, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nordstrom.com\/s\/loccitane-travel-size-almond-skin-care-ornament-trio\/5732631?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;breadcrumb=Home%2FBeauty%2FHoliday%20Gifts%20%26%20Sets%2FBath%20%26%20Body&amp;color=none\" target=\"_blank\">shop now<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s all about the little things this year, which coincidentally seems to be the philosophy behind this super-cute festive set.

I assumed it was just another product with really good packaging perfect for a flat lay for the feed. But then, I tried The Hand Cream, and it became a bedside essential.
