Beauty Sleep: Fake it ’till You Make It.

I walked into Gus Mayer on Monday and my friend (and long-time Chanel makeup consultant) Terry suggested I pick up some matching luggage to coordinate with the bags I was sporting under my eyes.

The horror!

Truth is, I’ve been doing a lot of running around and very little sleeping. No complaints – I’ve been having a blast, and as DK says, “you can sleep when you die!”

…but when it starts showing on my face, that is a problem.

Never fear: Terry Hooked. Me. Up. He dabbed a dot of this magical product under my eyes and I was a new woman. Run, don’t walk, to the nearest Chanel counter and pick up some Lift Lumière Concealer ($45). It’s a concealer AND a treatment all in one!

The Q+DD is this (per Chanel’s website): “This silky glide-on formula does more than mask your skin’s imperfections. A special LIFTOPTIC™ complex visibly diminishes the look of wrinkles and fine lines, while a Tetrapeptide targets the fluid that builds up under the eyes and makes them look tired. The appearance of puffiness and dark circles is measurably reduced, so your eyes look beautifully refreshed”

Listen, I don’t know what a Liftopic complex is and I certainly don’t know what a Tetrapeptide is, but what I do know is that I stayed up way too late last night giggling and drinking delicious Shiraz with some girlfriends and today my eyes are as bright as if I got my full 8 hours: Fact.

Bonus: T also turned me on to Chanel’s new Lip Lacquer ($32)

It looks and feels like a gloss, but it’s a full-coverage long-lasting lipstick. It comes in 8 gorgeous colors, from fire engine red to a subtle brown. I opted for a muted pink (“Ming”) Love!

There you have it: Bright eyed and bushy tailed in 5 seconds flat. Terry and I told you so…
