The Drab World of Pimples.

PIMPLES.
What can you say about em'? They're gross and always seem to pop up at the exact time you don't want them to. It's inevitable. Most of us get pimples due to stress, oily skin, or bad eating habits. But, Cami, a friend of mine, is cursed with a constant influx of pimples. It's actually beyond drab.
I've known this girl for a few years and this outbreak just starting happening a few months ago. The poor thing went from nearly clear skin to "woah, I didn't even know you could get a pimple there."

As gross as it is, she doesn't stress (obviously that'll just add to the problem) she just uses a few simple tricks to both get rid of those little buggers and cover up the stubborn ones.
Wanna know Cam's secrets?

They're so easy, a cavewoman could do it (Lame? My bad).
Anyway, start out with a basic salicylic acid wash. I know many people claim it's not good for your skin, but guess what, it gets the job done! After washing your face, apply spot acne treatment cream to the single pimps on your face. The ingredients should make those pesky pimples disappear over night.
If you wake up with some stubborn suckers left, never fear, you can cover those!














^ Your solution ^
We both live by this stuff. Physicians Formula Mineral Correcting Concealer. Apply them 1, 2, 3 and your face will look clear as a baby's bottom.
So, when you feel like a pizza face, don't stress and eat a bag of Mini Snicker candies. A simple 1, 2, 3 and you'll be pimple free!
Get bad with your fab self!

Eye Baggage Drab.

We all have baggage. And I'm not just talking about the emotional kind. I'm talking about those lovely bags we carry around underneath our eyes. They're stubborn aren't they? Almost as stubborn as the airline attendants that weigh real baggage.
As a college student, sleep and I are not exactly on good terms. Aka I am an expert on baggage. Some days I look like I'm walking around with an incurable illness. It's literally the epitome of drab.
But, after a few years of "WOW, are you okay? You look a little sick." I've finally mastered covering up those stubborn sacks.

How?
A fantastic combination of BB cream, concealer, and powder. Sounds like a lot, but these products are actually incredibly light and give you an airbrushed glow.
Begin by squeezing out a dab of your BB cream of choice (I suggest Loreal). Rub it on like moisturizer. Then whip out the concealer (I suggest a cream version). Dab your finger in the product and gently tap a layer over those ugly bags. Blend, blend, blend. Then sweep over a layer of translucent powder on your entire face to reduce the shine of the creams. This will keep your face in place all day.
Once you've applied these simple products you can apply whatever other fabulous make-up you want.

Rock it out, girl! No more baggage holding you down!
