I’m not going to lie. My beauty regimen is not what it once was.
Once upon a time, I wore heels to work. I carried an extra pair of sheer pantyhose in my purse. I woke up at 5AM to take a shower, blow-dry and style my hair, moisturize my skin, and apply make-up. I never walked out the door without my hair all done up, my make-up flawless, and ready to conquer the world.
Oh, how times have changed.
I admire moms who have maintained their beauty regimens and can think of quite a few who make looking good all the time seem effortless! For me, it’s not the fact that I’m a mom that has changed my beauty regimen. It’s the fact that A) I now work from my home office and B) I now live on a farm!!! The cows don’t care if I greet them with the newest shade of lip gloss or if my lashes are voluminous.
…but, I do.
Thanks to Pantene and COVERGIRL, I’ve been able to do this…
and not look like this all the time…
Pretty brave to post a picture of me not made up, if you ask me!
I’m making a concentrated effort this year to make sure I don’t leave the house a mess. The hard part for me is that I always feel like I’m in limbo these days. If I get all dolled up in the countryside, I’m considered a ‘city girl’. When I’m back in the city with my friends and family, I’m considered ‘country’. *sigh*
I have to say that I love the new Pro-V Heat Shield collection from Pantene and Flamed Out line from COVERGIRL. They will make heads turn when you enter the room…even in the barn! 😉 All kidding aside, they make me feel like I still have a bit of my old self in me and I’m going to work on bringing that out more this year.
Can I tell you how much I love COVERGIRL’s Ink It!? Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner gives you expert precision that lasts with brighter, bolder, shades! Because I’ve been unfortunate to have barely there lashes, I love firing up the volume with COVERGIRL’s NEW Flamed Out Collection. The collection features eye products designed to give you the latest red hot looks. My favourite is being able to finish up the look with a bright lip, courtesy of COVERGIRL Smoochies. I have a confession. I’m all about lip gloss and lipstick!
Want to get all dolled up and update your look too?
