Do you have tired eyes?

If you are a night owl who stay's awake staring at a computer screen all night, you probably have tired eyes like me. But, how can you hide it without your mother worrying if you are sick? There are some secrets. Get away from the tired puppy dog eyes to ones that pop!

If you have puffy eyes...

1. Cold Spoons. Throw some in the freezer and when they are COLD place them on your eyes. It will calm the inflammation.


2. Tea Bags. Cold Tea bags helps tighten up the skin without spending a fortune on those "caffeine creams." Place bags on eyes for 5 minutes. Repeat 3 times a week.

3. If you have dark circles (that purple color) under the eyes. Use a peachy eye shadow which hides dark colors.

4. If you have red inflammation use a green concealer then apply foundation. Green hides the color red. Very good tip if you also have blemishes. Green concealer is available at most drug-stores.

Don't use hemorrhoid cream for the puffiness. Although it might be a quick fix its not the safest for the skin under your eyes. The skin under the eyes is v
ery sensitive and you could form a rash or an allergic reaction then end up in the emergency room. You don't want that to happen.

Another quick tip, whenever yo
u are applying anything under your eyes, if you are going to use your finger use the ring finger. It is the gentlest and softest of the five fingers-the safest to use.

My Spring Shower Make-Over

Aright girls! I created a simple and easy spring look! Only 6 steps seriously!

After putting on your foundation- liqui
d or powder follow these steps! You can use all the items you already have in your make-up bag, you can use the brands I chose or the ones you like.

1. Cover the whole eye-lid with a silver creme eye-shadow base.
2. Line the eye-lid with a green eye shadow. I used Revlon.
3. Apply black pencil eye-liner to the co
rners of the eye- upper and lower. Do not line the whole eye. I used Christian Dior.
4. Brush mascara on lashes generously. U
se lash blast by Cover-Girl.

5. Sweep on a pink blush on balls of cheeks. I used Clinque because it sparkles.

6. For pop bright pink lip gloss. I used Maybelline. See...pretty and simple for Spring!
