SO! Like it or not WE ALL have days when we wake up and say WHO THE HECK IS THAT in the mirror looking back at me??!!

Today was one of those days for me :( my eyes are swollen from lack of sleep and allergy issues. My fatigue is seriously showing and my skin is just lifeless!!

SO…What can you do when you have a day like that and you aren’t prepared to give yourself a HUGE make-over? Here is what I did and it took about 3 minutes no joke.

1. Apply a BB cream or tinted moisturizer to your face. I used Garnier SKIN RENEW BB cream but I also love Origins Vitazing.

2. Conceal your under eye area to help hide your fatigue. Make sure to get the inner corner of your eye and a touch on your lids too.

3. Blush- I used Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in True Love. A stain will look more natural and last longer. It will also have a fresh dewy finish instead of a powdery one.

4. Sweep some highlighter on your cheek bones and down the center of your face to give a soft glow that makes your face pop

5. Line your lips with a fresh colored liner wither a pink or peach and then top with a little gloss. I used Lancome liner in Alpine Glow and L’Oreal Infallible Gloss in Posy

6. Set your conceal with a little powder I used L’Oreal Visible Lift Serum Absolute because I am loving its luminous finish, it isn’t too matte and I also love that it has an anti-aging treatment in it.

I didn’t even conceal any of my blemishes today I was going for no make-up make-up look. I didn’t want to go run my errands looking half dead but I just didn’t have time to do full make-up.

This is a look that works for anyone, it’s you only better :)

Try this and let me know what you think ladies!

Sending you a restful night of beauty sleep

Is your hair treating you badly? Is it refusing to do what it should be doing given the amount of time you are spending on it? Yep, I’ve been there…your hair is screaming for a serious deep conditioning but don’t run out to the drugstore to grab a new conditioner. Use what you have at home to create a hair mask that will rejuvenate your hair and make it play nice again. It’s simple and effective.

Take 1/2 the amount of conditioner you usually use

Substitute the other half with Olive Oil (I like Extra Virgin Cold Pressed)

Mix together and apply to towel dried hair after washing (so you don’t trap any product or yucky residue on your hair)

I leave this mixture on overnight or all day on a Sunday leaving my hair in slicked back a low bun for the time I have it on my hair.

Then shampoo and condition as usual and your hair will be much more responsive to your requests :)

Have you tried this? What were your results? Do you have a DIY hair treament you want to share with us?

To luscious moisturized locks and multiple hairgasms…
