I have returned from vacation. Sorry I didn’t post while out of town. I’m afraid I had a momentary lapse of reality when I thought I would blog while I was away. However, I am now back to life and the real world, and I will be answering your questions over the next several days.

By an overwhelming majority, the most common question was what to do about dark circles under the eyes. Chelsea mentioned the Mary Kay concealer. Girls, you absolutely MUST have a yellow concealer for the dark circles under your eyes. Concealer in general is a good idea, but yellow concealer specifically is your best friend when it comes to hiding dark circles and blemishes. Now, of course, being a Mary Kay Consultant, I use the Mary Kay concealer. I can not speak to others, but I am so sold on Mary Kay products, I will not use anything else.

I know that some of you are thinking that a yellow concealer sounds weird. I promise you can blend it with your foundation. I will address foundation issues in my next post, so stay tuned for that.

Concealer will only hide the circles, though. I will tell you that Mary Kay now has a product that treats the causes of dark circles. I am sure some of you are dubious, but I have used the product, and it really works. I used to have horrible dark circles under my eyes. While they are not completely gone, they are markedly improved. The product is the Timewise Targeted Action Eye Revitalizer.

I took pictures before I started using the product so that I would have a before and after testimonial to show, but unfortunately, the pictures just didn’t really capture the dark circles to adequately be able to show the real story. So, you’ll just have to take my word for it.

Now, I am not trying to sell you Mary Kay products. As I stated before, I am a consultant, and since these are the products I use, they are what I know.

If you do not have a Mary Kay consultant, though, or haven’t tried their products before, I do encourage you to find one and ask her about this product. You can go to the Mary Kay website, click on the link at the top that says “Shop Online with an Independent Beauty Consultant,” type in your zip code, and it will locate a consultant for you.

Check back tomorrow when I will address various foundation issues.
