Instant Chic

I am a fan of quick beauty fixes! For a busy bee like me, the last thing I want to spend my time on is hovering over my budoir and fiddling with makeup. Don’t get me wrong, on special occasions, I spend an hour (sometimes more) playing with my palettes.

Here are my top 3 “instant chic” beauty must-haves:

1. Red lipstick

“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” Gwyneth Paltrow

Oh, Gwynie, you’re so wise… and beautiful…and cool.

I don’t know how many times red lipchook has saved me from looking like crap. A little dose of rouge can brighten up ones face and with the right hue, can make your teeth look whiter! What more can you ask for?

2. Nail polish

Put your best fingertips forward with the help of a manicure.

A French manicure is the ultimate in nail grooming. This white tipped manicure looks clean and chic and works on either the fingers or the toes.

Choose your favorite nail polish and have fun with it!

3. False eyelashes

We have Katy Perry to thank for our false eyelashes obsession. Girl has the best falsies in the biz! Ikaw na!

Wearing false eyelashes can really open up your peepers and transform your look! Don’t be afraid to give them a try. With a little bit of patience, you’ll quickly become an expert in applying these beauty must-have!

I buy them by the dozens! A word of warning, never reuse false eyelashes.
