Perk Up
Last night, I slept from 10:30pm to 8:30am. Sounds refreshing, doesn’t it, except that I woke up every two hours along with Andy as he went to the bathroom and did his doctor-instructed breathing exercises to stave off infection and fever. As a result, I’ve been dragging myself around all day today. Instead of eyeballs, I feel like someone has inserted water balloons into my sockets and is trying to fill them beyond capacity. It suddenly dawned on me: “so this is what it must feel like to be a new parent.” Joy.
Needless to say, makeup and personal self-maintenance has fallen to the wayside. However, in an attempt to maintain some semblance of dignity today, I pulled out my Bobbi Brown Blemish Cover Stick in Warm Sand for an instant perk-me-up. Beauty starts with clear skin, which is why concealer is my desert-island beauty product. This one in particular is like an eraser for your face - one dab and redness and blemishes are gone, without that cakey concealer look. I purchased my tube about a year ago for my wedding, and since then, we’ve been ’til death do us part.

I hate concealers that are really cakey and dry - so this one sounds perfect!

this sounds amazingly tempting. i’m off to see “My Name is Tsotsi”. Sephora is just next door. I think I’ll have to pop in and get one of these. It will come in handy during my 36 hour trip to L.A. and back.

Next time you have “water balloon filled” eye sockets, try out a product with “Eyeliss” in it. It reduces water retention around the eye area and all that darn puffiness.

[…] 1. Bobbi Brown Blemish Cover Stick - You can read my previous review here, but I always start with clean, as-flawless-as-possible skin. I use this product to conceal and heal blemishes at the same time, thanks to ingredients like oil-absorbing kaolin clay and special plant derivatives that reduce redness. […]

[…] Anyway, I’m done my schpiel now. And to think - all I wanted to say was that I ran out of my favorite Bobbi Brown Concealer and need to buy more. […]

[…] Anyhoo, I’ve been trying to keep the makeup to a minimum except for my Bobbi Brown Blemish Cover Stick. Seriously, do you ever wonder what you would do if concealer had never been invented? Also, do you ever feel bad for boys who aren’t “allowed” to wear makeup? There have been a number of times when I’ve tried to persuade my husband to let me dab a little on his pimples. […]
