Well got things done over the weekend! Looks like people are out spending!


Todays Brain Drain:

HANGOVER HELPER

Partied too hard last night? Here's how to make yourself look fabulous, even if you don't feel so great:

• If you're pale, apply a little self-tanner to your face before you go out the night prior. When you wake up it'll counteract the extra pallid skin you get from a bad night.

• De-puff. If you've done what you should and had a glass of water between every drink, your face may be feeling the bloat. Before you go out, wet a washcloth, put it in a sandwich baggie, and pop it in the fridge. Put your eye cream in the fridge, too. If your skin is blotchy and dull-looking, try an aspirin mask, and then take a couple yourself. When you're done, put in some anti-redness eye drops.

• Find some shimmery white eyeliner.. When you're getting ready, waterline your eyes with it and then use it in the inner corners. It brightens your peepers up and makes them look less red.

• Concealer is really important. Use a yellow-based shade under your eyes and on your lids to counteract the purple, or put a thick yellow concealer on beneath your regular concealer.

• Lightly sweep a light pink blush with shimmer across your cheekbones, nose, temples, chin, and forehead. It deflects light and makes you look healthier.

• Your hair is probably a mess. Put it in a loose braid -- it hides grease and tangles, and looks styled.
