The “5 Minute Face” With Joe Fresh! ~ $84 Giveaway

Do you want to hear how naive I am?  I thought as my girls got a little bit older, life would slow down.  Perhaps even get a little bit easier.  After all, I have reached the stage in my life where my two teens are both in High School.  They are independent, sweet, smart girls.  Shouldn’t the very fact that they are getting closer to leaving the nest mean there’s more time for me?  Silly woman.  Turns out; I was very, very wrong!  Life continues to be as busy as ever.  It’s not the changing diapers, crying babies, or getting them to kindergarten on time kind of busy.  But it is the running them to dance, picking them up at volleyball, driving them to work and parties sort of crazy.  Life with two teens has plunged me into a very special kind of chaos which can have me needing to be ready in a flash, and out the door at the drop of the hat. It also means I have now officially perfected the “5 Minute Face”.  How you may ask?  It’s a little bit of know how, a few tricks and of course the right products!  Shoppers Drug Mart has always been a go to place to snag some great beauty products at fabulous prices and now they have a new addition to their line up; friends it’s official, Joe Fresh Beauty has arrived!

“Shoppers Drug Mart, the Canadian market leader in mass and prestige cosmetics, expands its beauty offering this month with the introduction of the Joe Fresh Beauty collection.

Joe Fresh Beauty is now available at 850 Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix stores across Canada with prices ranging from $8 to $18.”

I’ve had the opportunity to check out some of these Joe Fresh products and I was impressed (so were my teen girls) with the wide variety of quality products as well as the price point of the entire line.  With a little help from Joe Fresh, here’s our foolproof plan to help you master the “5 Minute Face” and make sure you are ready for whatever life throws at you.

 

1. FACE: 
On your already moisturized skin start with the face!  Even out your  complexion and you have a strong basis for the 5 Minute Face. With four foundations to choose from, you can easily find your ideal amount of coverage.  For my teens who don’t need as much coverage, they can use this light foundation as a cover-up for any spots or redness.

2. CHEEKS: 
Highlight and accent!  Choose a silky powder blush in shades that range from peach to pinks, with finishes from matte to shimmery. Or choose a blush stick with a soft, powdery finish. I like the control of the blush stick plus it’s great to pop in your purse or travel bag.  With a blush for any skin tone, you can find the ideal shade to add warmth and colour to your cheekbones.

3. LASH LINE: 
When you are tired nothing adds definition to your eyes like a little eyeliner. Whether you like a smooth application that twists up (say goodbye to sharpening!) or the look of liquid liner, Joe Fresh has you covered.  Want something even a little more dramatic, accent your waterline to make those eyes pop.

4. LASHES: 
I can’t leave the house with naked lashes!  A little mascara goes a long way and the new Joe Fresh mascara does not disappoint.  Volume? Check. Lengthen? Check. Define? Check. Enhance your eyes with rich mascara that adds just the right amount of drama to your look in a flash.

5. LIPS: 
From glosses to lipsticks in cream, matte or sheer, Joe Fresh has a range of finishes, textures and colour intensities for any mood. Layer your lips with a luscious, bold color or a light, moisturizing tint.  Running out the door early in the morning? I opt for a light colour for day and throw in a nice dark shade for later on. Nothing freshens up your face faster than a quick change of colour on those lips!  I also have to mention, that lippy, it has staying power.  It lasts through morning coffee and muffins, the longest of mornings and lunch on the go.  And that lipstick, it’s still going strong right until school pick up!

There you have it.  Five easy steps, and it really can be done in just five minutes.
