Happy new year, beauty fans! The gorgeous and gracious Missy has allowed me to take over her blog for an entry to share my latest beauty obsession. And, full disclosure, Missy is younger than I am and has radiant, glowing skin, so I’m not sure she’d even need this product!

As a continually exhausted mother of two, I adore any product that’s (A) quick and easy to apply and (B) makes me look less tired and more awake than I actually am. Each morning, after dressing myself, dressing the kids, making breakfast, trying to make the kids eat breakfast, making lunches, and shuttling the family out the door, I have about five minutes, tops, to put on makeup. So, when it comes to an under-eye brightener, it needs to go on smoothly and brighten my skin almost instantly.

As a bareMinerals fan, I’m embarrassed to say how long it took me to try (or, in my case, become obsessed with and claim it to be the best beauty product EVER) bareMinerals Well-Rested SPF 20 Eye-Brightener and Blending Brush. Follow your application of bareMinerals foundation with this beauty. Use the soft, full-coverage blending brush to put a few swipes on your eyelids before shadow and under your eyes and around your lips and nose. It’ll help you look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed even when you’re decidedly not. When I look in the mirror and see an alert, bright-eyed woman looking back at me, I actually feel that way and am ready to go about the day with renewed energy and focus.

For any woman looking for things that can help make her day just a little bit easier, this powder is a great choice!
