13 Colorful Beauty Products To Fight Winter Blues

Winter's cool for maybe about the first week when it's still holiday season and switching up your wardrobe is still fun. But when all the fireworks have been used up, you start to realize just how heavy your coat is, and the air is no longer considered "crisp," but "uncomfortably icy," that's when the winter blues have set in. Time moves more slowly, it's dark outside for the majority of the day, and you just wish you could hibernate through it all. So if you need a little help trudging through the rest of winter, I suggest injecting some colorful beauty products into your routine.

After all, color is one of those things that really helps invigorate your senses, and can bring some of the pep back into the dullness of dreary, winter times. Especially if you find you're a slow-starter when the temperature drops, adding a little color to your life could help give you the energy you need to take on the cold days ahead. So even if the winter blahs have already got you down, try adding any number of these 13 colorful bath, body, skin, hair, or makeup products to your routine so they can't keep you down.
