Pretty and Polished with Almay Cosmetics
Working from home, it’s easy to get stuck in a no make up rut. Yoga pants, a tee and a naked face have become my every day look. Which is terrible, because I know I feel more polished and put together when I get dressed and ready for the day, just like if I had to leave the house for work. I find I’m often more productive too. So this little video could not come at a better time, to remind me how fast and simple it is to get a pretty, everyday look for the office, or the home office! I am all about some fresh make up tips, so I am tuning in! I really liked the other “looks” in the series and I’m proud to host Kate Bryan of The Small Things Blog as she shares a Wear To Work Look.
Some of you know I worked the cosmetic counter at Macy’s for many years. It was a blast, but without the steep discount I turned to less expensive brands, Almay being one that has never disappointed. I like the simplicity of Almay and have bought a variety of their products in the past. As have both my mom and my sister. They are gentle too, which this fair skinned girl loves. I love the real-life looks and that the advertising both print and commercials are not hyper sexualized. Maybe it’s geared towards real women? Yep, I think that’s it! You gotta love the color pallets you can buy based on your eye color. Those are genius! I can attest to the fact that loads of ladies have no idea what they should be wearing and I imagine this is hugely helpful.
I played around and shopped online by eye color (I’m a brownie) and found this intense i-color smoky i-kit eye shadow trio. I know from experience all three of these shades would totally work for me. That berry shade is really pretty and the mocha is perfection! I think I see a mini make up spree in my future. I could really use a lift and getting a few new pretties would do the trick I’m sure. We’ve got a charity event to attend next weekend so I think yes, new makeup is called for. Absolutely!
I’m going to pick up the new Smart Shade CC cream too. I keep seeing the commercial and it’s been on my I Really Want To Try That List. I’ll let you guys know what I think as soon as I give it a go!!
Now for hair… and a maybe a new outfit? {winks}
