The chances are all the late-night parties are finally getting to you, the sugar-highs from all of the sweet holidays treats being put on your desk are making you crash & burn and now you’re all worn out!  There are some fuss-free ways to to refresh yourself that take hardly any time at all, because let’s face it–we don’t have a ton of free time as it is.  Check out these beauty products that will perk you right up!

Your eyes will be the first thing that give away how tuckered out you are, try using Elizabeth Grant Vitamin C Illuminating Eye Pads* for 15 minutes as you’re getting ready for work in the morning to brighten and soothe tired eyes.  Add a little bit of CARGO’s EyeLighter to your inner corners, bottom lash line, and on your brow bone to give the appearance of wider, lifted, and brighter eyes!

Revitalize your senses in the shower or bath with C.O. Bigelow Ginger Mentha 2-in-1 Bath & Shower Foam*.  Continue by adding a few spritzes of the coordinating Ginger Mentha Eau De Toilette*, the feel-good fragrance is uplifting and refreshing with a blend of ginger and peppermint.  This is a must-try!


No time or cash for a facial?  Grab a Pond’s Micro Dermabrasion Wet Cleansing Towelette* to take your makeup off with one side, and gently exfoliate with the other daily.  The green-tea and cucumber is soothing and the micro-derma beads give cumulative results.  Freshen up during the day with Youngblood’s Minerals in the Mist spray.  Recharge is infused with that amazing blend of ginger and mint (again!) to awaken you from your afternoon slump where your face wants to hit the keyboard.  The skin-protecting antioxidant spray also comes in Refresh, and Restore.
