Body Solution for Spring Break

Spring break is around the corner, and some of us, the lucky ones, will spend a week or so on golden beaches under a warm sun. Yet, just before leaving, our bodies are still covered in big sweaters and trendy coats that hide what’s there to hide. So, are you ready for your spring break vacation?

My solution this year is the brand new Total Body Lift Double Edition by Clarins: it’s a proven slimming product for stubborn areas that contours, firms and reshapes those legs, hips and thighs we’ve so comfortably kept hidden all winter long.
While slimming down fatty deposits and reducing cellulite, it also improves the appearance of skin - you don’t want slimmer legs that look saggy and “emptied”. Au contraire, the skin is lifted anf visibly firmer.

Morning pick-me-up tips

When you wake up even more tired than when, a few hours before, you went to bed, and you only have 10 minutes to get ready, what you need is a quick morning pick-me-up. Every gal knows this feeling. Here are my tips on how to look good in 10 minutes, even when you feel like sleeping the whole day - they worked for me today.

1. Wash your face with fresh water. Before patting dry, spray some thermal water on face and neck. This will give you a lasting sensation of freshness (and you’ll immediately feel more awake).

2. If your eyes feel dry, soak 2 cotton pads in cold milk, and apply them onto eyes for a few minutes to hydrate and reduce eye puffiness.

3. After your usual skincare, apply a brightening concealer, or better yet, use Benefit Cosmetics’ Erase Paste, which serves the purpose of camouflaging all signs of tiredness from your face. Apply this smart creamy miracle-worker right where you need it (under the eyes, on the perioral area and on imperfections) and it will erase unwanted shadows from your face, while brightening your complexion, delivering the effect of a well-rested and perfected skin.
Erase Paste comes with a clever step-by-step application cheat sheet (see below) and its own little spatula to scoop out the right amount of paste.
