WFMW: Mornings

You have been warned....I am not a morning person (surpringly... i think that I may have been at one point and time. Hmmm... wonder what roommates thought? and when did it change?)!! I'm lucky to be able to have hubby get Mikey ready on most mornings since he goes to work later than I do, cuz honestly, somedays, I don't know how I get myself ready and out the door looking halfway decent, with everything that I need for the day, and on time.

Make-up and I don't get along in the mornings if you couldn't guess. I have absolutely no patience for foundation (and I'm always shaky on colorings....) so it used to be that most days I went w/o any makeup at all except maybe lip gloss. When I substituted, and actually got mistaken for a high schooler, I decided that I needed a little more help (not to mention some very nice hints from friends) and found the perfect solution: TINTED MOISTURIZER with SUNSCREEN!! It is now one of my must haves, and actually must use it 98% of the time before venturing out. You get moisturizer, sunscreen, and coverage all in one nice tube. Amazingly, it is almost goof proof and it helps even out my skin tone. CoverGirl makes a great one for around $5.oo and is totally worth it (It's in their CG Smoothers line). Then add some eye shadow and lip gloss and I'm good to go. Honestly my makeup time is down to under 5 minutes! (As a side bonus, I think my self confidence is a little bit better when I wear it, because I feel beautiful)
