The Weekend Post #42: The Morning After The Night Before

So I can’t lie, last night got a little wild. It involved Lily Pebbles, a few too many mojitos and some flailing arm dancing – we practically had to be dragged out of the bar. Too much fun. Fast forward to this morning, after a total number of hours spent asleep I could count on one hand, a sore head and my boyfriends parents due to arrive in 10 minutes I had to act fast and wipe away that rum-ragged look. Cue the wonder products, the well-rested, glow-and-go combo that gets whipped out whenever the morning after the night before ain’t all that fruity…

Soughing away last nights makeup and a cool flannel to the face is essential. Goodbye puffy sore eyes and then it’s time to heap on the hydration. For an extra moisture kick I layered on my latest purchase Hydraluron under my daytime moisturiser – this super serum amps up the level of water your skin can retain making it a rough day must-have. Another new purchase and one that came in rather handy is the Clarins Instant Smooth Self Tanning – think the tint of the This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle, the priming properties of something like Benefit’s The POREfessional and the tanning element of the Clarins Liquid Bronze Face Tanner and you’ve grasped it. I’ll keep you updated on that one. The base was a delightfully dewy duo of the Chantecaille Just Skin in Nude and YSL Touche Éclat in 1* and for a touch of extra sheen on the cheekbones I applied a hefty swipe of the Jemma Kidd All Over Radiance Cream Dewy Glow in Ice Gold. For eyes I kept it simple as always with a quick curl and a dash of the Lancome Hypnose Waterproof Mascara as it gives a lighter more fluttery effect for über natural days. A slick of the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in 02 and I was ready to face the world.

But lets just say it’s not big or clever guys and after a day fighting the urge for a kip and eating my own body weight in sugary treats I think it’s now time for bed and I promise I will be a good girl next weekend. ZzzzzZzzZzzz…
