Steps to Red Carpet Ready with BabbleBox

Whether you’re walking the red carpet, walking down the aisle or walking the jetway to a big reunion, when you have a big event coming up, the preparation starts weeks before!

A MONTH BEFORE
Step your your Skincare: Skincare needs to start weeks before a big event. Clarisonic is one beauty item that is not overrated – its truly a miracle worker! I have a – and its one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It cleanses your skin 6X better than just your hands – yet is gentle enough for even sensitive skin to use twice a day. The 300 movements per second flushes out dirt, oil and debris which reduces appearance of large pores. Plus, your skin care products are better absorbed, so you get more bang for your buck!

I  have been using the Mia FIT since Christmas and my skin is completely different. Its incredibly smooth, my pores appear smaller and I’m not experience the typical winter dryness that typically plagues me this time of year. I think that my lotions are getting absorbed instead of just sitting on top of my skin!

ONE WEEK BEFORE
Get pedi ready: The week of your event, its time to start getting pedicure ready  – especially for those open-toed shoes. is absolutely incredible! Soak your feet with Baby Foot Lavender soaks for about thirty minutes and over the next 3 to 7 days, dead skin cells will begin to slowly peel and your feet are baby soft! It sounds crazy – but you can’t even imagine how incredible your feet will feel!

Cut the bloat: Cut back on carbonated beverages and up your water. Eliminate salt, dairy and alcohol. It won’t make you lose pounds, but it will help minimize bloating before your big event!

THREE DAYS BEFORE
Get shut-eye: A couple days before, you need to start getting some rest – sleepless nights can add years to your face. I always have trouble sleeping before a big trip or event! ZzzQuil is a lifesaver! Its a non-habit forming sleep-aid that helps me fall asleep easily and wake up refreshed (instead of groggy). This is one of the only things that gets me through the red-eyes I take back and forth across the country every month!

Do a test run: Try on your entire outfit – make sure you’re not missing anything. There’s nothing worse than discovering when its too late that your stockings have a run or necklace doesn’t work. Wear your cute new shoes for a bit, so you don’t discover too late that they are the most uncomfortable things in the entire world.

THE DAY OF

Take time to relax: Book some time in your pre-event prep to relax and enjoy! Have the sitter come early so you can sneak in a bubble bath or book a blow-dry at your salon. Most of us don’t get the opportunity to be pampered like this often – Enjoy every minute!!

Finish with fragrance: And when you’re ready to go, don’t forget the finishing touch – fragrance. Here’s the big question – do you wear your signature fragrance for a night out? Or do you go with something different?  I tend to go different for a night out! Loving for spring – this Mediterranean-inspired scent has a base of musk and vanilla with notes of flowers like violet blossom and peach flower. It has a nice citrus kick, too, which is so invigorating before an event! Pick up the size to slip into your clutch for touch-ups.
