Fashion Fix Friday- From Tired to Wired

So if you're like me, you're human and prone to accidentally sleeping in past your regularly scheduled alarm. We've all been there - your eyes fall on the clock, it processes that you're nowhere near where you should be getting ready-wise and a quick look in the mirror quickly confirms just that! 

Don't fret- here are some handy-dandy tools to help you look wide-eyed, bushy-tailed and fabulously flawless...even if you only have a few minutes to fix your face :)

First off, I like to start with a clean palette. I'm all about Clean & Clear's Morning Burst Scrub! It always seems to rejuvenate and awaken my tired face with its magical little scrubbing citrus beads and the scent is incredibly invigorating! Next, to wake up weary eyes I normally keep two metal tablespoons in my freezer so that when I need a quick zap of life I can take them out in a jiffy and place them on my eyelids to decrease that puffy look so often carried over from sleeping in ;)  (If you have the time, you can place them in your freezer for about 10 minutes for the same effect).

After this, I like to swipe white eyeliner in the inner rims of my lower eyelids. Make-up artists swear by this trick and it does actually help. N.Y.C. cosmetics actually has a great white liner for only $.99 - you can't beat that!

After, I like to place a pearly-pinkish iridescent eyeshadow over my lids and in the inner corners of my eyes to create a little bit of sparkle. Swipe on a coat of mascara and you're peepers will be bright as the sun and you can take on your day with confidence!



Happy Friday Everyone!!!! :D

  1. All great tips, Alexis! Victoria's Secret has a white glitter liner that I use sometimes when I go out. Also, a product by Bare Minerals called Well Rested is one of the best eye "wake-up" products too!
