Magic Wand

Here's the funny thing about the world today, we are constantly going, going, going - rushing from work to the gym to the grocery store to home to making dinner to doing a load of laundry to responding late night emails (or as in my case posting new blog articles) and yet we are expected to always look impeccably flawless, healthy and well rested at ALL times. The world is not really that interested in seeing or hearing about your problems, we are supposed to handle it all gracefully with smile on our faces similar to the '50s housewives while looking like a million bucks. Well thankfully I have my million buck, dependable product that no matter how bad the proverbial crap is hitting the fan it is always there like my ever present rock. Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch is my magic wand.

I'm telling you this bewitching wand can perform more magical wonders than Harry Potter's could ever dream of doing! (I know that's a really bold statement to make since the "chosen one" can actually transport himself in time and my wand can't exactly do that). But this highlighter/concealer pen erases fatigue or any signs of a late night helping me look like I really got that 9-10hrs of sleep I need. It instantly transforms tired, dark under eyes to well rested, luminous eyes. Uniquely formulated, this concealer draws light in and then reflects it back outward for an unprecedented radiance. It's that one product that always "pulls me together" if you know what I mean. And I absolutely love the fact that this pen-brush is so conveniently easy to use on the go, I know I need a refreshing touch up by the end of a very long work day. There is a reason this product has a cult following but you don't need to take my word just try it and see. Available in 4 shades, you may think it's a bit pricey at $40 but listen, I'm all about saving (thanks dad all those finance books helped!) but there are some products that you absolutely MUST splurge on. They are worth their weight not only in gold but diamonds, rubies and platinum, they are the difference between "so so" and "god damn she's fine." And the product lasts forever.

Usage tip: This magic wand can also be used to highlight and sculpt other facial features. Use it on the ridge of your nose, by making a vertical line starting just below the brows and going all the way to the tip. This trick makes your nose look supermodel slim (see this $40 product just saved you from getting a couple thousand dollar nose job!). Trace around your entire lip line, especially at the bow area on the upper lip, to create fuller more luscious lips. In both cases be sure to blend the product with your fingers after applying.

The result: A true miracle, well-rested glowing eyes and a beautifully defined face that just makes you go "Oh wow!"
