A lot of people associate Monday mornings with moans, plenty of coffee or absolute dread. Now while I can relate to this a little sometimes, I mostly associate Monday's with really tackling dull, tired skin/eyes. I call it my 'double highlighter' day. Basically over the weekend I like to make the most of every single free hour I have, and this means a lot less sleep for me. I do it every time, and I can't say I even regret it much. I'm getting shit done, and it feels better than having an extra few hours sleep (just about..!). But come Monday morning 5:45am, the dull skin and tired eyes are really on a roll. That's where the light in my life comes in. After trying many products over time, I've come to love the following three more than any other for banishing the Monday blues.

I do struggle with doing things early in the morning (I wake up at 5:30), my dark circles are terrible anyway, but oh my, you should see me without makeup on a Monday morning, terrible! The only things that seem to work for me are the cream highlighter from Essence and a good concealer xx
ReplyDeletehave a good day!

I've lusted after that for so long!! xx
DeleteI really like to have the light brightened look under my eyes even if I don't have dark circles. I wouldn't mind trying these products. I would recommend puff off to you also. It removes darkness and puffiness from under the eyes.

This makes me wish I could have a makeup shopping spree. I miss contouring and highlighting.. it makes you look more defined and awake lol
ReplyDeleteI love High Beam, although I've given up on looking alive for work on a monday morning, i figure its a monday, it is what it is. I should use highlighter more though, it's so quick and easy. I would love a mac one though.

I do exactly the same, concealer before and after! Benefit high beam is a life saver, then I add a bit of Sleek powder highlighter! Does an amazing job at brightening my face!
