Make Yourself Beautiful with P&G Products + Giveaway

By /

Life as a mom of 3 boys can get pretty dang busy and sometimes with a busy schedule, it’s hard to fit in a beauty routine?  I mean, how many of us moms have run our kids to the school and taken a quick trip to the grocery store in sweats with no makeup on and our hair in a ponytail?  This mom right here has!  The Motherhood worked with P&G on a fun new project that made having a beauty routine a little more easy and doable!

I received a gift bag filled with some great beauty products from P&G.  Here is a brief list of the goodies included in the gift bag!

– Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Serum (Redbook MVP Awards)

I have a few daily beauty routines.  First, I remove my eye makeup at night.  Then I was my face both day and night.  I follow up with a moisturizer.  I use my foundation, concealer, blush, eyebrow powder, eye shadows, eye liner, mascara, and finally lipstick.  Occasionally (maybe once a month), I use a face mask.  What is your daily beauty routine?

    I try to remember to wash my make up off before going to bed, I dont always succeed, but when I do remember I prefer to use a lotion containing vitamin C for under my eyes and neck area and a moisturizer on my face & hands, they say your hands will give your age away so I am constantly applying lotion or cream to my hands to keep them moisturized and hopefully not showing my age.
    I always apply lotion immediately after showering I think it soaks in better when your skin is fresh & clean and been warmed up from the shower, one tip is that I always use daily moisturizer under my make up containing at least 30 SPF sun protection, sun damage is one of the major causes of wrinkles and i dont want them before my time, LOL.

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway

    Do not wash your face with soap…. trust me I did it for years and I can personally tell you there is a major difference between soap and moisturizer. I grew up as a bit of a nerd and wasn’t particularly concerned with the makeup growing up. Now that I have started putting an effort into my looks, I’ve seen a huge difference!

    No time for a manicure I soak my finger nail tips in a bowl of hydrogen peroxide for about fifteen minutes to brighten the tips and slap on some clear nail polish.

    For dry lips I apply a layer of Chapstick and then gently massage sugar into it and rinse. My lips are then soft and pretty!

    Q-Tips are my go to beauty tool; you can apply eye shadow, fix smudged mascara and get the last bit of your favorite lipstick out of the tube.

    I use warm apple cider vinegar to clear my complexion. It works wonders! Thank you for hosting this giveaway.

    I clean off my face and neck with rubbing alcohol, moisturize periodically throughout the day, and stay out of the sun.

    The best beauty treatment is water. I drink a glass of water as soon as I get up. Not only does water good for looks, but it helps to get me full before eating breakfast. I don’t eat near as much when I drink water before meals. Drink at least 6-8 glasses per day. Just my opinion. :))

    The only beauty Tip I can think of is to keep cute headbands on hand in case of a bad hair day. I can usually make something look good, when my hair just wont do anything, with a headband.

    I use white eyeliner just on the inside of my lower lids to made my eyes look bigger and a little brighter.

    I use witch hazel instead of alcohol=based astringents on my face. It takes away the oil but doesn’t dry out or break out my skin.

    I wash my face and then a must is to always apply concealor, powder and a dash of mascara 🙂

    I great beauty tip that i found is if you want to have hair that inst frizzy, when you go to was hit skip shampoo and just use conditioner. Sounds gross but it works!

    After I get done washing my hair in the shower, I put conditioner on it and wash it out with only cold water. It locks in the moisture. Also, I try to sleep—I have two boys under 5, so that doesn’t always work

    On the days that my face is really dry, I mix a couple drops of lotion with my foundation. It goes on smoother and smells good too!

    My best advice is an oldie but goodie…..always use a moisturizer with sunscreen for your face – even in the winter.

    I don’t really have any real tips or tricks although I have learned,now that I use it every day, to put on my night time moisturizer at least a half hour before bed or it all ends up on the pillow…

    If I don’t have time to get ready in the morning, I splash my face with cold water to get rid of morning redness and puffiness. I also pinch my cheeks for a bit of “blush” 🙂

    Use petroleum jelly on your hands and feet before you go to sleep. Then put on cotton gloves and cotton socks. When you awake your skin is very smooth

    I always remember to remove my make up before bed, exfoliate and moisturize! I have noticed when I do not do it my skin looks dull.

    I try to drink at least 60 oz of water daily and it helps to keep my skin hydrated.

    I always use sunscreen, especially focusing on my face. I swear this beauty habit has kept years off my face. Thanks for the giveaway.

    It’s not really a tip or trick, but I wash my face with a simple Neutrogena face wash morning and night. Don’t skip a washing!

    I really don’t have a routine as such. I try to get my proper rest. In the morning, I do put on some light makeup, eyebrow pencil, and mascara to face the day.

    I have been using self tanning lotion on my face everyday. It not only adds a little color to my pale complexion, it also helps moisturize.

    I put on all my makeup first thing in the morning before anyone wakes up!

    Every night before bed, I put lotion on my feet and cover with socks. Saves time with having to buff later.

    Here’s what I do daily: wash with a gentle brush and gentle cleaner, make sure my lips aren’t rough (and if they are, do the Vaseline and soft toothbrush trick to do away with the dry bits), moisturize and apply sunscreen…then if I go outside, wear sunglasses.

    I always drink water. All the time, and when I get tired, I drink decaf herbal tea. My skin glows and I use shea butter all winter on my face.
