By now you may realize I’m not exactly the Beauty Expert who wakes up 2 hours early to prepare doses of elixirs waiting to be applied just-so for my daily beauty regime. Bottom line, I’m real, I’m a mom of two young kids, I work, and I’ve been married to a lovely man for about 10 years. I do envy those that can experiment and have the time to really take care of themselves. But for me, I do use Verseo products and have my sets of favorites, but I don’t have tons of time to really qualify for an over-dosed beauty “regime” that includes extensive makeup application.
Some of my must’s – clean face, moisturizer, anti-aging solution, and SPF. Makeup? Just a trace, enough for you to see the “real me” without the “Huh? what’s that on your face?”. But my absolute, number one, bar-none favorite “make-up” beauty tip? Eyelash curler and Collyre Bleu. I’m not kidding. You have no time, what is the number one thing most people notice about you? Your eyes! Of course your eyes! They are the windows to your soul. It should be your eyes that they focus on. And if your eyes spark the questionable “Is she on something?”, then it’s time to do something about it.
Life happens, kids crawl in bed or have nightmares, jobs have deadlines, husbands whack you with restless-arms, you lie awake wondering what colored towels you should get for the guest bathroom (ok, so maybe that’s just me), and you’re not always getting those refreshing eight hours on a daily basis. Sleep deprivation I would argue is the number one issue in our society. And it takes a definite toll. Add to that air-pollutants, allergens, and 8-hour day computer use, your eyes are toast my friend… Your windows to your soul can become dreary little fog-induced portals, much less “shiny windows”.
So, after my cleaning and makeup ‘veiling’ routine, I ALWAYS, use a couple of drops of Collyre Bleu eydrops and an eyelash curler. Maybe some lash tint (too black of mascara and no matter what any mascara company touts, I’m racooning by 5pm..) and I feel just a few years younger and a whole lot more refreshed and “dewey”.
When I was first introduced to Collyre Bleu I thought, oh, it’s a product to make blue eyes really blue, cool. But then I learned the “blue” eyedrops (the actual solution is blue) is meant to counteract the yellow and red tones in our schlera (white part of our eyes). My sclera is usually a nice hue of spidery pink and yes, a bit yellowish. The obvious reason? Lack of sleep and age. My 7 year old definitely does not need Collyre Bleu yet… As we age, well, we age! Our eyes age too. And we show our “age” through our eyes by means of crow’s feet and yellowing eyes. Collyre Bleu are wonder drops. They are refreshing, they soothe my eyes and they make them just gleam a sparkling white.
So all I need after the drops are a a good eyelash curl and TA-DA! Instantly years younger and with a look like I’ve been sleeping my eight-hours for YEARS… My little secret revealed here for you!
