I’m all for streamlining my makeup bag as well as only bring the products I understand I’ll requirement (although I do like to have choices when it pertains to things like lipgloss), as well as I’ll never turn my back on a fantastic multitasking product, like MAC Bare research study paint Pot, which can work as a base or a standalone shadow, however when it pertains to concealers? — I normally like to keep my bag stocked with two different shades, one a few shades lighter than my natural skin tone for concealing dark circles as well as for brightening my under-eye area, as well as a second shade that a lot more carefully matches my skin tone for covering up blemishes, little scars as well as discolorations on my face.
A lesson discovered the difficult way…
Back when I very first started using concealer, I was all about keeping a streamlined makeup bag, so whenever I left the house, I’d bring just a single light concealer shade, which I utilized under my eyes, as well as anywhere else I felt I needed to on my face.

Little did I understand at the time, however the light shade I was using, which was a bit lighter than parts of my cheeks, chin as well as forehead, was really drawing a lot more interest to my difficulty spots, like a makeup spotlight.
Oh, noes!

That area up there under my eyes gets truly dry, however Moisturecover couldn’t care less. It handles my dry under-eye area much better than anything else. The medium-coverage formula likewise looks natural as well as doesn’t clear up into my fine lines (yea!). The only downside, as well as it’s not a deal-breaker for me, is that I do have to reapply it after about eight hours of wear.
Most of the time I wear it in shade NW25, even though I’m color matched to NC42, since I believe the peachy tones much better counteract the purple tones under my eyes (especially when I’m pet dog tired, like today).
Ladies as well as gents with hyperactive sebaceous glands (read: oily skin) may want to try MAC choose cover-up ($18), MAC’s version for oily skin, or MAC pro Longwear Concealer ($18).
Speaking of pro Longwear Concealer, I believe it’s truly fantastic for my deal with in general. Being incredibly concentrated, a bit goes a long way, as well as it’s awfully stubborn, in a great way. In other words, it doesn’t budge.
It can, however, oxidize as well as darken over time, particularly when used to incredibly oily skin, so when I’m having one of those bouts, I normally wear it in NC42 mixed with a somewhat lighter shade.

Lunch 2.0 Deluxe expert Balsamic Tomato Edition!
Ok, so my lunch today? I believe I may have pointed out this already, however I’ve been quite jazzed about the kitchen area lately, thanks to all of the cooking shows I’ve been enjoying at night, as well as I’ve been trying a few different things.
I’m not the most innovative person when it pertains to food (so frequently I eat just to get it out of the way), however in an effort to be kinder to my tum, I made this fried egg sandwich today with tomatoes, chives, mayo as well as salt as well as pepper on whole wheat toast, with a side of sliced black figs sprinkled with Trader Joe’s Balsamic Glaze.
That glaze?? I’m talkin’ BOMB. PUNTO. COM.
It’s a concentrated balsamic sauce you can sprinkle on just about anything — meats, fish, veggies, cheese, fruit (!) — whatever tickles your fancy.
It’s nearly always offered out at my regional TJ’s, however I grabbed two bottles when I identified it the last time I went buying (SCORE!).
The other day, I sliced up some fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes as well as basil as well as sprinkled a few of the glaze on top…
Così buono!
And even though it most likely seems type of gross in theory, I tried it on sliced strawberries yesterday as well as nearly passed out. A truly tasty contrast of wonderful as well as tangy.
Look for it next time you head to Trader Joe’s. They keep it next to the olive oil as well as spices at my regional store.
