Thanks to L'Oreal for sponsoring my post about my favorite beauty looks, tips and tricks! Check out Makeup.com for beauty advice from the experts.
This past summer, at a blogging conference, I had a fabulous make-over. With a swish of a comb, a swoop of a make-up brush, and a swipe of a tiny bit of lip gloss I looked like Jackie O.
No, really, that's what people were saying!
Months later and the Jackie O look hasn't stuck around. First I don't have time in the morning for a fancy up-do. Second, I hang out with kids all the time so the stylish duds don't always work. But I have worked on making sure I look presentable every day, even if all I have time for is a little make-up and a bit of hair product.
The one thing I regret I didn't keep up is the lip gloss. Such an easy little thing, I thought, when it was applied. I got home and picked up a tube of pink shimmery lip gloss, excited to add something to my usual make-up routine.
Six months later the tube sits abandoned in my car. Turns out lip gloss is more high maintenance than I thought.
That said, I was a big fan of how it looked so I'm determined to try again, this time with a few tips and tricks gleaned from the makeup.com site. To start with, I'm pretty sure that if I stop treating lip gloss like chapstick it'll work a lot better! It's not all that daring or crazy, but I'm a freelancing mama, and it's the best I can manage this holiday season.
