Hot Flashes & Frizzy Hair—The 14 Beauty Products That Got Me Through Fashion Week

I attend Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York on the regular—February and September—and my beauty “needs” change with the season. September is seasonally muggy, warm and just doesn’t agree with me on any level. Between my hot flashes and frizzy hair, I need an arsenal of beauty products that work from dawn to well, dawn. I “pared down” the 14 items  that really made a difference in not only my appearance, but my overall well-being as well.

This list is of course sans Motrin and martinis…

1. Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H $45.50

My skin had to look flawless for hours on end, LancômeTeint Idole Ultra 24H does the trick. With a velvety long-lasting finish, this foundation has become my go-to foundation for a beautiful professional look.

2. Buxom® Full-On™ Lip Stick in Barcelona $19

I of course had to have the requisite fashionista red lip — and my red of choice for the week was Buxom® Full-On™ Lip Stick in Barcelona. Perfect red. Lasts for hours without drying my lips.

3. Nügg Revitalizing Face Mask $2.99

After a day of shows, a night of parties that took me to the next day, a mask that undid my damage was in order.

NÜGG REVITALIZING FACE MASK

The mask comes in a practical single-serve cup which protects the mask from oxidation, is easy-to-use, convenient, and perfect for on-the-go.

4.  L’Occitane Eye Care & Mask Duo Brightening Correction $38

I don’t leave home without L’Occitane Eye Care & Mask Duo Brightening Correction. The genius eye product doubles as a brightening mask while depuffing my perpetually puffy morning eyes.

L'Ocitane EYE CARE & MASK DUO BRIGHTENING CORRECTION - L'OCCITANE

This triple-action* formula works both as a daily eye cream and an eye-contour mask for visible results**. First, the eye area appears smoothed: skin looks firmer and the appearance of wrinkles is visibly reduced. Second, an even and luminous eye area emerges: the eye contour seems brightened especially with Bellis perennis extract. Third, a fresh and rested look is achieved: puffiness and dark circles due to age, stress and fatigue appear minimized through the action of caffeine.

5. Milani Lash Art Colored Mascara in Bella Blue $4.99

My tired eyes were perked up with a touch of blue mascara tipped on the ends of my lashes with Milani Bella Blue Mascara. A great way to fake a good nights sleep.

My makeup was simple everyday — winged-out eyeliner made simple with my “sharpie” liner courtesy of Tarte.

7. bareMinerals® Well-Rested® Face & Eye Brightener $22

The more the merrier when it comes to deflecting the damage I did the previous night, or my lack of sleep. I discovered bareMinerals Well-Rested at Fashion Week a couple years ago and it’s still a mainstay in my makeup arsenal.
