It’s been said that February and March are the dullest, darkest and most depressing months of the year. So what’s a girl to do? Just accept the cold, icky winter for what it is and hibernate until spring? Of course not! Sometimes the best way to battle those winter blues is to dust off those dance shoes, pull out your little black dress, put on your make-up and head out on the town. Why not change the perception of Winter, and make it your season to shine? I decided to tackle the blahs head on and try and find my glamorous side a little more often. As it turns out, once you put your mind to it, it’s not as daunting as it seems!
Week One: A lunch date with my Mom. Easy! A new sweater, black skinny jeans, some red lips and I was ready to go.
Week Two: Shopping date with the girls! Yes, shopping can be glamorous. I donned my fave leggings, a long sweater and my tallest black boots as we tackled the mall in style. I made sure to throw on a little extra blush before we headed out to buy “all the things” under those florescent lights.
Week Three: (secretly my favourite of all because I do NOT do this enough) Reason to break out that little black dress. Full on glam, channeling my very own Red Carpet Look! Hair done, make-up complete, the SassyHubby and I headed out to our favourite restaurant for a romantic dinner for two. We ordered a flight of wine, too many appetizers, and a delish dessert. Sigh. Perfection.
Week Four: Hmm Well I can’t wait to see what we do next!
Thanks to a little help from COVERGIRL and Pantene I’m fighting off those winter blues with a brand new attitude! Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? Here are a few tips on how to get a dazzling look and find your red carpet style.
Start with a base: Every expert agrees that having happy and healthy skin can have you glowing in pictures. Moisturize before applying primer, and when you do apply, make sure it’s a product that works with your skin type. TruBlend Primer concentrates on both the skin texture and the skin type- these formulations work with your skin to create a flawless canvas. After your face is prepped, apply TruBlend Liquid Foundation to cover imperfections.TruBlend BB
Say goodbye to winter blues: Who wants to look in the mirror and be reminded it’s winter? Use TruBlend Blush and Bronzer to contour your face and give you a natural sun-kissed glow.
Highlight your eyes: In the past, celebrities sometimes made the mistake of being overly bold with their eyeshadow colours, this season it’s all about natural tones and blending colours. COVERGIRL has developed a colour scheme of roses, nudes and golds that are universally flattering with matte and shimmery finishes. trunaked Shadow palettes can be worn on their own for a soft smoky eye or combined to create a bold dramatic look. To finish, use Trunaked Palettetrunaked Eyeliner Duos, a line of pencils that glide on effortlessly to let you define your eyes & create countless luxe looks.
Give your lips a treat: Lips are one of your best accessories, make sure you treat them with care. Before, or even in place of applying lipstick, use a moisturizer to keep your lips looking and feeling like a million bucks. Oh Sugar! Moisturizing Lip Treatment is infused with grapeseed oil, avocado butter and Vitamins C & E. This incredible lip nourishment comes in ten tints of lightweight colour.
Let your h(air) flow: All professional hair stylists agree, hair is meant to be flowing and natural, not crispy and dry. The products you use in your hair should be as natural and healthy as the food you put in your body! Pantene’s Airspray is alcohol free, giving it a light, fresh scent. Your Valentine’s Day date will have no problem running their hands through your silky smooth hair.
