Get Ready in a Pinch!

Have you ever had one of those days/mornings/afternoons where you had seemingly minutes to get ready? That was me the other day. Normally, I take about an hour, sometimes an hour and 15 minutes to get ready. That includes, shower/makeup/hair/outfit. The other day though, I had oh 15-20 minutes. WOAH! So here is how I got ready, and still looked presentable in a short amount of time!

After I got out of the shower, I combed out my hair and applied my Argan Magic argan oil. I let my hair air dry while I applied my makeup. As far as makeup went, I filled in my brows using my Rimmel brow pencil. Then I used my MAKE eyeshadow in burnt umber on my lower lash line. I swept on some Maybelline color tattoo in Barely Branded, and curled my lashes and applied 2 coats of Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes mascara. (Believe me, there was no time to use a crease and highlight color!!) I used my Tarte lipsurgence in Joy for my lips to give me a nice pop of color. Again, no time for face makeup!

Since my hair was about 75% dry, I blew it dry the rest of the way to make it completely dry. I teased my crown, and pulled it into a quick side bun using my spin pins. (Those spin pins are a lifesaver!) I added a quick spritz of hairspray, did a double check in the mirror and got dressed. Total time was probably 20 minutes. It was pretty stressful!

Here are a few tips to help you get ready in a pinch!

Focus your attention on one thing. For me, it was my eyes so I made sure to swipe some color on there, along with mascara and eyeliner.

Make sure to fill in your brows. It takes seconds, and frames your face.

Use a pop of color on your lips to brighten your face when you don't have time for a full face of makeup.

USE MASCARA!

A side bun always is the way to go in a hurry. It looks chic and looks like you took a lot of time on it.

How do you get ready in a pinch? What are your tips and tricks? Please leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!

Simple Sugars Review

There is no doubt that this scenario has happened to you. You get some really expensive cream to put on your acne, rosacea, or eczema. You try it out, and find out you are allergic to it, or it makes your skin look horrible. Such was the case with Lani Lazzari. She has sensitive skin and has tried every commercial product on the market to help her eczema. Nothing worked, so she took matters in her own hands. She created Simple Sugars in December of 2005. If you're wondering where you might have heard Lani's name before, she appeared on ABC's Shark Tank! The scrubs are all natural and uses many different oils. There are no sulphates, artificial preservatives, parabens, colors, or scents. There are scrubs for your face, body, feet, and even some for the men in your life! You can find your perfect scrub on their website . I wish you could smell this! I bought some at a local retailer and I am impressed! I got the chocolate scent, and let me tell you, it smells AMAZING!...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii.
