I have two words to describe Carmindy’s new book, Crazy Busy Beautiful: Beauty Secrets for Getting Gorgeous Fast – LIFE CHANGING! Now you may think I am exaggerating, but I am not.
Since I was a little munchkin, I have struggled with migraine headaches and allergies, and to help relieve the pain I would rub my eyes. I never had issues rubbing my eyes until 2005. I am not quite sure what transpired for this change, but from then on I have literally torn my eyelids dozens upon dozens of times while rubbing my eyes. Well, a couple days ago I received Carmindy’s book, Crazy Busy Beautiful: Beauty Secrets for Getting Gorgeous Fast and randomly opened it to page 110. The first tip I saw was about eyelids. It read: “When my eyelids get very dry, red, sting-y, I put Chap-Stick on them before I go to sleep. My eyelids feel great by morning.” I could not get to my Chap-Stick fast enough! I gently applied the balm on my eyelid (that I just recently had torn and had what looked like scabby, flaky looking skin on it). I kid you not, not 24 hours later and my eyelid looks fantastic! This wonderful book has helped me take control of a painful issue I thought I was going to have to live with for the rest of my life. I am so appreciative!
Carmindy is a master at finding beauty solutions for real women. Her view point is: “Real women want to learn to look like themselves – but better – and follow a makeup routine that fits into their daily lives.”
I just knew there was going to be oodles of tips I had not thought of before – and boy was I right! The book is chock-full of 600 quick and easy beauty tips for your crazy, busy lifestyle, and is sized to fit in a makeup bag or purse; quite helpful for busy, on-the-go women! Organized by feature, the book covers everything from eyes and brows to cheeks and skincare. Whether you are looking for a suggestion on summer skincare or the best way to wear fake lashes, each tip is easy to follow.
