For the last 3 weeks, I have looked shabby by noon. Let me rephrase, my eyes have looked shabby by noon. And I don’t mean shabby chic, I mean plain ol’ shabby.  I found out that I was allergic to my $25 shadow control crème. I stopped using it in hopes I would quit looking like I moonlight at a night job.

My allergic reaction was that my eyes were tired and red by the time I was ready to eat my left-over lunch. But, I think that I found a remedy for my crazy eyes.  While at Sally Beauty to buy hair products for my son (which was great, and look for the post on that one), I happened upon Claudia Stevens Eye Shadow Base. It was only $2.49 on sale!!

After checking Sally’s return policy (just in case this made me look like a mad woman as well) I purchased the eye shadow base and since then have been quite pleased. Not only does my eye shadow go on better, it actually stays on until the end of the day. Yep, when the work day rolls to a close – I still look gorgeous. All the while knowing that I still must cook dinner for my family. Maybe a woman can have it all!

p.s. I would even purchase it for the 7 bucks I found it for on the web.
