Get It Together!!!!!

Let me paint you a picture:  It's about 1 pm on Friday and Sasha is dressed in an adorable outfit (of course!) with a matching headband, socks, and shoes.......I am still in my pajamas, haven't brushed my teeth, my hair is looking a mess, and I'm obviously not wearing any makeup.  I bring Sasha over by the mirror so that she can see how cute she looks...and that's when I black out from horror.....well not really, but I should have!

There is NO REASON that I couldn't have spent a couple of minutes getting myself together that morning. This was so not like me....who was this person in the mirror?  The best part about this scenario is that I still dressed my little girl like she was going to a party.  Moral of the story: get it together Kate! 

I know I'm not the only mom that has almost fainted from the sight of themselves in the mirror.  So, lets all vow to spend those couple extra minutes a day.  I am a pro at 5 minute makeup, so if you need to get together in a snap too here are my fave products to look fresh and together in no time.

 

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
$42 at Sephora
  

Step 1:  Apply Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer all over your face.  This is an amazing product because it provides light coverage, has SPF 20, and moisturizes.  It is a little expensive but I LOVE it!

 

Trish McEvoy Dual Resort Bronzer
$32 at Amazon.com

 Step 2:  Apply bronzer with a brush where the sun would naturally hit your face.  I love the Trish McEvoy dual bronzer because I like that it isn't too dark, and that I can decide which color to use, or blend them as needed.

 

NARS The Multiple in Orgasm
$39 at Sephora


Step 3:  Apply a cream blush, such as NARS Orgasm on your cheekbones, and blend with your fingers.  This is a universally flattering color....and the multiple literally lasts FOREVER!

 

L'Oreal Millionize Mascara
$7.97 at Walmart

Step 4:  Apply 2 coats of mascara on your top lashes.  I am consistently trying new mascaras and my newest obsession is the L'Oreal Millionize mascara.  And at under $10 the price can't be beat :)

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment
$22.50 at Sephora

Step 5:  Apply a tinted lip balm.  This Fresh Sugar Rose tinted lip treatment smells amazing, is extremely moisturizing, has SPF 15, and gives you the prettiest rosey pout.  Amazing :)
