Code Red!!!!!

Hey everyone, hope your week was well… Fabulous!  As you can tell, we have been talking about how to get rid of our unwanted friend the Blemish.

Luckily as I age (like fine wine-haha), my larger “friends” have started to diminish.  But every so often, one comes in for a visit and usually it’s because I’m stressed or I have a special event to go to, right?  That’s when they always come in.

So what’s my secret to getting rid of them?  Well, you’re going to laugh, but I use Neosporin.   I know crazy right?  But it works because what is its main job… to get rid of bacteria.  What are blemishes?  Clogged pores with bacteria.  This usually works for the relatively medium to large.  The Neosporin doesn’t take it away right away, but usually within a couple days.

My other go to when the situation is a 5 alarm fire, I call on my dear friends at Neutrogena.  Their On-the-spot treatment works wonders.  If I have a large blemish, I put a relatively large dollop on the spot and then cover it up with a band-aid and go to bed.  For the most part, the blemish is gone if not minimized by morning.

Remember beauty comes in many shapes and sizes.

Smile, because someone out there loves you!

Have a great weekend

Bet You Can’t Guess What I Did Last Night…

Hello my dear friends and Happy Friday!  What an amazing week this has been, right? So we all have been chatting and sharing about our favorite ways to conceal and cover up our not so pleasant guests.

Is it me or do these unsightly guests show up at the most inopportune time?  It could be a wedding, a job interview or just your 1^st date.  It’s like Mother Nature is just sitting back with her magic wand waiting, watching and laughing at us right?  Well when that happens, raise your fist and shout…”Incoming!!!” 

I have found the answer from a company called… theBalm.com.  (Get it?)  Their Liquid Time Balm is formula ted to not only cover up; but also zap that zit with the natural properties of tea tree oil.  I will warn you, a little bit goes along way and it stays on all day and doesn’t move.  Like I said, this stuff is the BOMB… I mean theBalm.  I do like to use it under my eyes for those early morning, late night adventures.  It covers up the damage from the night before and reduces the puffiness too.  But again, a little goes along way. 

One of my other secret weapons is from Peter ThomasRoth.  He has created a one stop shop with his Un-Wrinkle dual kit.  One end has an under eye brightener and the other end is a concealer.  AWEsome!  What I like to do, is apply my favorite moisturizer (recently my new love is, Josie Moran’s Daily) and then apply the brightener mixed with the concealer.  It makes a creamy brighter concealer and looks like I don’t have two fluorescent rings under my eyes.   Perfect! I can get by with telling everyone, “Sure, I got 6 hours of sleep last night.” 

Have a terrific weekend and remember to be kind to others; you never know who they could be.

Cheers!
