WORKADAY TIP #156: Foundation As Undereye Concealer

I recently rain out of my MAC undereye concealer.  And while it covered pretty well, I always felt like it was a bit cakey and didn't cover very evenly. 

So, while I have been researching new undereye concealers, I have resorted to using my MAC foundation (which I never use anyway) as undereye concealer and it has been working like a charm!

I use my undereye brush, dip into my foundation and lightly dab it under my eyes.  It's generally lighter so I need to do two layers however this is why I like it so well.

By using something lighter, it goes on much smoother and by doing two layers rather than one thick one, I am able to apply more evenly giving a much more natural look.

The added benefit?  You get a lot more product for you money.  A bottle of foundation used as undereye concealer will last far longer than any undereye concealer.

Give it a shot, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.  I was.

WORKADAY TIP #155: Go Everywhere Perfume

I got the coolest gift for Christmas this past year - Solid Perfume. 

I had never seen or heard of it before.  It's basically made out of wax and whatever fragrance you want.  The great thing about solid perfume is that it's compact, affordable and since it isn't a liquid you can carry it on the plane with you!  Plus, it's easy to use on the go, no need to worry about it spilling!

Here are a few examples.
