Day to Evening Makeup with Tarte Cosmetics

When you know you’ve got a full day ahead of you, and I’m talkin’ those hectic, crazy days, you certainly don’t want to spend any precious moments fiddling with your appearance. That being said, if you’re like me it’s important that you look good (or at least half-decent) on busy days. You might be seeing a lot of people you know, or find yourself in at least one high-pressure meeting. Whatever the case may be, the goal is to get ready in the morning and spend little time and effort later in the day on your makeup or outfit.

Two Terrific Travel Beauty Products

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love to travel, and I find that somewhat interesting. I mean, waking up in the middle of the night to go to a busy airport hours before your flight, just to get on a crowded plane with a crying baby.
