Lifesavers for Busy Girls
March 16th, 2010
These two products have saved me plenty of times the past week or so – I’ve been unusually busy and both pampering and blogging (sorry, darlings!) have had to wait. But when I could find a minute or so to spare, these two babies did a wonderful job.
♮Decléor Hydra Floral moisturizing mask does exactly that: moisturize. I wouldn’t call my skin dry, but this year’s harsh weather has got to it and given me some dry patches. My skin also feels tight after I’ve taken a shower, which is when I usually grab this yellow little tube. You can, of course, use it as a mask, and apply a rather thick layer of this and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. This is no good if you’re in a hurry, though, which is why I like that it can be used as a rather thick moisturizer, too. I apply a smaller amount (just enough so there won’t be a layer of it on my skin) to my entire face, and then apply makeup. If I have any dry patches, I put on a thicker layer just there, and let the mask do its thing while I fix my hair and get dressed, then swipe it off before applying makeup.
♮Seba A.S.A.P. Nail Polish Activator is a strange sort of oil that you drip on your freshly painted nails to make the polish dry faster (I got mine at Neglemakeriet, but it seems they don’t have it any more). First of all, I have to tell you that I do think there are better products out there that does the same job – although this one definitely makes several layers of polish dry in about five minutes, it does seem to make them slightly less shiny. Still, it’s a real lifesaver if you were silly enough to think you had enough time to paint your nails and then realize you have to be out the door in twenty minutes. Drip it on, wait five minutes and you’re good to go. I didn’t even know a product like this existed until about half a year ago, and I’d really like to find an excellent kind. “Everybody” seems to love Seche Vite, so I’m thinking about trying that one next, but the one I’ve got still does the trick in a pinch.
I do hope you’ll forgive me for being slightly absent lately? It seems things are slowing down a bit now, which means more time for blogging again – huzzah!
