As Seen On CW Good Day Sacramento 10/17….   Carpool Moms are big time unsung heroes! But are your early mornings and long afternoons making you feel totally depleted?  Well this left me to wonder so I  researched the “ABC’s” for a Carpool Mom Makeover with tips you can do while making kids’ lunches in the morning OR even from the driver’s seat of your command station…your car!

FOR HEALTHY SKIN, HAIR & NAILS ON THE GO:
NEOCELL BIOTIN BURSTS
PRICE: $14.99
SHOP: www.neocell.com to find a local retailer near you or head to Walgreens CVS Vitamin Shoppe Wholefoods GNC
These juicy bites deliver beauty nutrients in a yummy soft chew. NeoCell’s cold press technology infuses 10,000 MCG of Biotin in every bite. Biotin, an essential B-vitamin is known to maintain healthy, strong hair, skin, and nails as well as support your energy (which everyone needs when running a household and managing kids schedules daily). Keep a bag of these on your desk or in your car to ensure you get your daily dose of beauty each day no matter what soccer field or set of bleachers you’re perched while supporting your kiddos extra curricular after school activities. The Brazilian Acai Berry flavored chews are low in sugar and free of gluten, soy, and artificial flavors. Take 2 to 4 daily. Allow 1-3 months to experience maximum benefits.

SO NO ONE KNOWS YOUR POOPED!
AMAZING COSMETICS AMAZING CONCEALER
PRICE: $28 Travel Size, $42 Full Size, AmazingConcealer is available in 20 shades, more than any other brand
SHOP: Ulta & Sephora or www.amazingcosmetics.com
A good concealer is the MOST important and hardest working product in a woman’s makeup drawer. And this one-AMAZINGCONCEALER by Amazing Cosmetics does it all. It’s the #1 recommended concealer among professional makeup artists- From erasing dark circles, blemishes and un-even skin-tone to highlighting cheeks and lifting brows! It’s the ONLY concealer you’ll ever need! Hollywood makeup artists lovingly refer to it as their “Magic Eraser!” and they only use products that deliver results…they don’t get a second chance! It’s kinda cool to know that women walking the Red Carpet are wearing the same products that women are wearing walking in shopping malls all across the country. This concealer is so pigmented you only need to apply “tiny” pin-dot amounts ( NOT A BAGEL SCHMEAR) to achieve a flawless face. The finish is so natural-no one knows you have it on!  We don’t necessarily want anyone knowing we have makeup on-AMAZINGCONCEALER is un-detectable giving us the flawless skin we all want.

IT’S 3P: YOUR FACE IS LOOKING DULL SO ADD INSTANT GLOW IN SECONDS W/ 2 BEAUTY ESSENTIALS
STEMULATION HI-IMPACT SERUM
PRICE: $185
SHOP: www.stemulation.com
Hi-impact is a transformative serum formulated to illuminate, smooth, and refine skin’s surface with a deeply hydrating compound. Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced while the skin’s natural renewal process is accelerated.
A sophisticated blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C ester and Epidermal Growth Factors increases elasticity and collagen production and reignites skin’s luminosity, resulting in truly ageless beauty.
Apply just a few drops and this rejuvenating serum will instantly lift away dullness to reveal a hydrated and brightened complexion and with continued use this wonder serum yields some pretty jaw dropping, age-defying results. A girlfriend turned me onto this recently and I was blown away by how my skin felt and looked. It’s a dramatic difference and well worth the investment before turing to more aggressive, expensive options!
