Instead, we got fine, flyaway hair

Thankfully, we have never had to deal with dark undereye circles.

However, undereye puffiness, freckles, and the ability to gain five pounds by just looking at a Krispy Kreme are the gifts we were destined to have. Thanks genes!Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream

Our husband on the other hand (who is very hot, by the way, even with dark circles,) being half portuguese, has dealt with his dark circles his entire life. (Not that he has ever cared, or even noticed them.) (That is what he has a wife for!)

Several years ago we tried Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream to see if it would help our undereye puffiness, which it totally did, but ended up urging our husband to use it for his dark circles. (For the record, and in case any of his buddies are reading this website, he wants us to make it clear that we forced this eye cream upon him. Got that? He was FORCED.)

Within a week of using this, his dark circles were noticeably lighter, and while they never completely go away, the powerful anti-oxidants in this product keep them at bay.

If you are one of the lucky ones that was destined for dark circles and have not yet tried Neutrogena Radiance Boost Eye Cream, you MUST!

Do you have something to hide?


Once again, we were up late last night.

We wish we could say it was due to a few too many martinis and a DJ that wouldn’t quit, but instead we’ll tell you the truth: our beloved PowerBook G4 decided to take a turn for the worse and screamed, “I’M HAVING A PANIC ATTACK. A KERNAL PANIC ATTACK! AND IF YOU DON’T HELP ME NOW, YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE YOUR FILES!”

If saving 10 thousand photos is not enough to keep a girl up all night then we don’t know what is.

Needless to say, we look lovely this morning.

Wrassling with our computer has left us with tired, dark, puffy eyes and a lackluster complexion. Being the beauty product obsessed ho that we are actually has some perks because this morning we were prepared. Sitting on our bathroom counter was Benefit’s Realness of Concealness ready to rescue us from a frustrated night of cussing into the darkness at no one in particular (because who would listen to us? NO ONE. The rest of the world was sleeping.)

This crafty little kit has mini containers of Ooh la Lift (reduces puffiness), Boi-ing (hides dark circles), Lemon-Aid (evens out/primes eye lids), High Beam (supermodel in a bottle! need we say more?) and Lip Plump (for plumping. the lips.)

What could be better than all this great stuff in one adorable little kit?

Aside from 10 thousand photos SAVED (Yay!), nothing.

Picture perfect

Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye BrightenerWe have died and gone to heaven.

Smashbox has outdone itself with this Photo Op Under Eye Brightener.

This brightener goes on under our favorite concealer, moisturizing and boosting skin with ingredients like peptides and vitamin C and marine collagen to plump tiny lines.

Although this adds one more time-consuming step to our morning routine, it’s totally worth it.
