Today I have my girl Kimberlee from I Have a Degree in This sharing her beauty must haves for that super hot date night you’ve got planned (because you know you have one coming up this weekend!)
************
Hi, I’m Kimberlee from I Have A Degree in This!I’m a single girl living in NYC. When I go out on a date, I don’t like to lug around a large handbag. I tend to opt for a smaller clutch which limits the amount of beauty items I can bring. These are my must-have 5 items in my bag to keep me looking my best all night:
1. Oil blotting papers. Keep your makeup under control with oil blotting papers. It keeps your makeup looking fresh without having to cake on more. I use Clean & Clear’s Oil Absorbing Sheets or you can settle for tissues (as a last resort!).
2. Mentos. Avoid scaring him away with bad breath and keep some mints on hand. I’m not a fan of gum because it’s bad for your teeth but you also need to find a place to discard it once it loses flavor. Mentos solves that problem with gum to dissolves away like a mint.
3. Lip gloss (or tinted balm). I like Elizabeth Grant’s Light Up Your Lips gloss which features a mirror on the side of the bottle and LED lights to help you see your application in the dark. GENIUS!
4. Concealer. I don’t like to bring my full makeup bag on a date. I would bring concealer for quick touch ups. I trust my dark circles to Benefit’s Boi-ing concealer.
5. Lotion. It’s always good to keep your skin feeling soft with some lotion. I enjoy EOS Everyday Hand Lotion (I use it all over). Keep it on hand!
What are your beauty must-haves for a date?

/ July 1, 2012Girl a scrunchie and some bobby pins are a must! I don’t have date night…not even with my husband. However, when I go out I need these things should my hair get unruly.

/ June 29, 2012OMG! These are great tips. I especially love the shine control sheets instead of the tissue. AND, the mints instead of gum.
