Have Passport ... and the Bags to Go with It!

So I had to get my passport renewed ...

Not a big deal right.  Of course not.  Except for those damn passport photos.  

I actually didn't think my previous passport pic was so bad - it was actually one of my better pieces of identification. But this recent photo ... not something I would like to share. Looking at it carefully one would think that the past five years have not been kind to me.  It seems that the age and two kids have caught up with me. Ack!

When I opened up the little sleeve that held my two photos, I gasped.  My eyes, my poor brown eyes. Since when did they decide to carry bags around??  As a mom, I could easily explain away the dark puffs by claiming that my two boys kept me up late the previous night.  But that wasn't the case. I slept just fine the night before the pictures. Straight up - I'm just getting older.

And so my search begins.  

The perfect undereye concealer. 

It's definitely a yummy mummy must.  Obviously, I have flirted with undereye concealer before but that's just because I wanted a bright, even-toned skin to make a smokey eye pop or a bright eyeliner standout. 

Now its more of a need than a want. This time it's personal.

Luckily, COVERGIRL (and MS&L, a PR company) couldn't have contacted me at a better time to come in and see the latest additions to the COVERGIRL and Olay Simply Ageless line (the foundation is amazing).  They had two new goodies for me to test out: a concealer and a colour corrector.

I have yet to test them out but definitely check back soon after I've given them a good try. I'll let you know if I get any part of my yummy mumminess back!

Please let know how the concealer and colour corrector work out. I have been eyeing Lorac's concealer because it's similar to the Sonia Kashuk one you gave me. I would love though to purchase a concealer at a lower price point.

Try Lancome's Effacernes Waterproof concealer! It's a liquid concealer, truly waterproof, and a tiny amount goes a long way. It's a little pricier than CoverGirl or Olay would be, but I've been using the same tube for well over a year, and I use it every day.

Hope - thanks for the recommendation. Waterproof concealer? I love it. I love anything that is waterproof. It lasts so much longer.
