BeautySchooled: The 10-Minute Face

Instead of doing a 5-minute face or even a 15-minute face, I did a 10-minute one. Here is what I used:

facial wash. SensiClear kit, which I was supposed to review this past Sunday. I'll have to start scheduling my Skincare Sunday posts just in case I'm too tired to blog.

moisturizer. Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Corrector and Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20. I used both products twice today. I plan to use them again right before I go to bed.

foundation + powder. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation in Dark 2, which I think looks a little too light in this photo...or maybe it's the M·A·C Mineralize Skinfinish in Dark that did the trick. Earlier, when I first applied it, it was too dark. This was even with Black Opal Invisible Oil Blocking Powder. However, it could just be the camera that I'm using...miss my Canon PowerShot!

primer. Clear Prep FX Matte Foundation Primer and Anti-Acne Treatment

eyeshadow. Love My Eyes Roll on Eyeshadow in Copper Mist. Surprisingly, this eyeshadow is pigmented. It also takes care of the metallic lid trend that I wanted to try. Maybe if I feel motivated, I'll smoke it out.

mascara. The review for CoverGirl LashBlast Lash mascara is in draft. I love that this mascara doesn't leave my lashes stiff and flaky.

lipgloss. Korres Jasmine Lip Butter with Lancome Color Fever Plumper in City Mauve over it. I hate that my mom's camera washes out the color. It's a mauve nude shade.

hair. I threw it up in a messy (and I do mean messy) ballerina bun earlier but since I wanted to make sleek down my edges and make it look perfect, I took it down. Then I twisted it up in the back and clipped it. I'm running low on my Soft and Beautiful StyleProtect Sculpting Gel and I'm trying to preserve the little that I have left. That's why my edges are sticking up! My swoop bang is nonexistent since I kept brushing my hair back. No, I didn't go to school like this. It was only after I got home that I decided to fix my hair.

What do you use for your 10-minute face?

Vixen, Validated: How to Get First Lady Michelle Obama's Contemporary Cut

It seems like everyone nowadays are embracing short, chic cuts and now First Lady Michelle Obama is no exception! Imagine my surprise when I saw one of my favorite online stores, Hair Sisters, selling Freetress Equal Lace Front Wig in Lady Michelle! You can get it for $44.99!

I don't know if Michelle Obama actually cut her hair or even just pinned it back to give the illusion that she cut it but I like it. I don't exactly love it since I've styled my hair just like hers from time to time.  Even if it turns out to be wig, I'd like to know the brand and where I can get it!

What I found interesting was that the DailyMail UK says that Michelle Obama "stole Rihanna's style" by sporting a cropped pixie with a sweeping fringe. That was 8:57 AM this morning. Then they said called her bobbed hairstyle "classy and elegant" at 4:14 PM.  I mean, which is it? Is the First Lady a swagger/style jacker or a classy, elegant trendsetter following in the footsteps of first fashionista Jackie Kennedy Onassis?

Want to know what I think? Like I said with Chrisette Michele, Michelle Obama doesn't need to jack anyone's swagger. If anything, people are jacking her style by hitting up White House|Black Market and the like! But if you're in love with her hair, especially her signature bob, you can find how celebrity hairstylist Jonny Wright created this look.
