Short & Sweet - My Morning Essentials

I am by no means considered to be a morning person, so anything that can help wake me up and make me look more alive is considered an essential in my book.

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub is the best facial scrub for the mornings.  The scent wakes me up instantly and the scrubbing beads exfoliate my face for a light flush.

In the past 10 years, I have purchased who knows how many concealers trying to find the one that covers those pesky under-eye dark circles.  Bobbi Brown's Creamy Concealer Kit is by far the best concealer I've ever owned.  I don't plan on buying anything but this for years to come.

For those mornings when you don't feel like putting multiple layers of make-up on, a nice all-over bronzer is all you need.  The Warmth All-Over Face Color from Bare Minerals is my favorite.  A little bit really does go a long way.  Shake less than a pea-size into the cap, buff on with a brush, and you're ready to go!

I have recently discovered dry shampoo.  I know I'm a little behind the curve on this one but I am in love!  We all have mornings whether we are running behind or just don't feel like messing with the whole process of shampoo, condition, blow dry, style...dry shampoo is my hero these mornings!  Pantene Pro-V Blowout Extend Dry Shampoo is great!  It doesn't leave any residue behind and brushes in nice and evenly.
