Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting several 24-hour giveaways throughout the day to give you plenty of chances to win!
I’ve always admired Carmindy‘s effortless style and simple beauty tips on TLC’s What Not To Wear, so I was super excited to hear that she’s publishing a book, Crazy Busy Beautiful: Beauty Secrets for Getting Gorgeous Fast. As I expected, Carmindy delivers simple and easy beauty tips that will work for all women, but what really won me over were her “Moneysaver” tips liberally sprinkled throughout the book, like creating your own tinted moisturizer by mixing your regular foundation with a SPF-infused moisturizer and mixing a drop of red food coloring with a bit of clear lip balm for a quick and easy cream blush.
I also had the opportunity to try several cosmetics from Carmindy’s new Sally Hansen Natural Beauty line. My favorite is the Fast Fix Eyeshadow Base. My eyeshadow never seems to stay on very long, and this kept it looking fresh all day long.
Two lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a gift pack including a copy of Carmindy’s book Crazy Busy Beautiful and a set from the Sally Hansen Natural Beauty line.
To enter, tell me what makeup, if any, you absolutely must have on before you leave the house. Do you always wear lipstick, or do you just need mascara to feel presentable?

always put swoosh of my city stick foundation to cover those semi-permanent bags that I received since I gave birth to my son. And a quick swish of the blush- because that ‘night of the living dead look’ just doesn’t work well for me :)
Anne
Unless I can get away with wearing sunglasses, mascara is a must or else I look as if I just woke up. I also need some type of lip gloss as well as powder foundation since the days when I could leave the house with nothing on my face are, unfortunately, long gone :-)

I love myself without makeup, so I prefer none, but of course some dress up work activities or interviews require to look dressier.
Victoria
perfume is the only make up I do not leave home without. I usually wear makeup but an not ashamed to go without
