As another day goes by in these unprecedented times and I sit here in my pajamas, I think to myself, I need to find a way out of my funk. What better way to actually get ready, put on makeup, get dressed, and look pretty. I always say feeling good starts with looking good. As luck would have it, I had a few products and tips to try. I decided to put them to the test and below are the reviews and my before and after pictures.

The first product I tried was BeautyStat’s Universal C Eye Perfector. The name alone made me uber excited to try this product! About a year ago, BeautyStat came out with its first Vitamin C product and it is fabulous, so I expected nothing less from this new eye cream. The creator, Ron Robinson, who is a cosmetic chemist and an entrepreneur, created these Vitamin C products as he saw a need in the market for them. He’s been featured in so many publications and shows, including Allure, Refinery29, and on Good Morning America. In fact, I’ve caught him so many times on GMA, I was thinking they made him a new host and they would be lucky to have him!

I’ve been using the eye cream for 2 weeks and the skin around my eyes looks much better. It also makes my eyes noticeably brighter. The product smells great, goes on easy, and really delivers great results. In today’s environment where you have to smile with your eyes, this is a must have product. The price is $65.00. You can purchase this product here.

Another product I tried is the Sweet Street Cosmetics Wing Queen. This is a liquid eyeliner that just makes you feel sexy! It comes in a sleek gold tube and goes on super easy. Make a cat eye or a wing, and your eyes are guaranteed to look larger, brighter, and better. After using it I felt like I was channeling Lady Gaga. Maybe I still can’t sing, but these days it’s all about the eyes and mine were looking fine! This lasts all day and it’s truly one of the best liners I have tried. It really is the wing queen, so the name is perfectly fitting. This product retails for $20.00, and the site is offering a 10% discount. You can buy it here.

Last but not least, I would be remiss to not speak about hair. I started my beauty journey as a hair editor so I’m always looking for the best tips and tricks to make my hair beautiful. It took a pandemic and famous smart, and handsome hair stylist, Harry Josh, to discover truly the best hair hack of my life!

I have naturally thick, semi-wavy hair that I always blew out straight to make it look smooth and pretty. Well, apparently my natural hair is beautiful and with the tip Harry gave me, I have never been given more compliments in my life on my hair. I won a contest on Instagram. The prize was a 15 minute virtual consultation with Harry. He recommended I braid my hair on each side every night, sleep like that, and in the morning take the braids out, and voila… instant style! I use John Frieda Air Dry Waves, which can be purchased at Target for $9.99. You can check this product out here.

There you have it – 3 great products and a hair hack that will have you looking your Sunday best. My last tip would be to mask up with a pretty mask. You will feel like a new you! Stay safe and comment below with your best pandemic tip that makes you look and feel beautiful.
