Goddess Circle (Beauty): Karen- Gym Bag Essentials

Now that we’re finally getting some warm spring weather, it’s time to think about bearing some skin… Yikes! After a few months of bundled-up winter, that’s always a scary thought! So, how do you manage running around from work to dates AND fit some gym time in between without rolling around tons of luggage? Well, here are some tips from Goddess Karen on what you can keep in your gym bag to keep in light and portable!

With a busy day ahead of you, squeezing in a workout is not a stomach crunch but a time crunch. No time to put on a full face of makeup? There are 5 easy and portable items for your gym bag that will keep your gym-glow and have you looking polished until you complete your day.

1. Sweating is good when you’re working out, but after, you need to get the sweat off your skin and refresh it with Dickinson’s Cleansing Astringent Towlettes. Just wipe and throw away.

2. Drink water during your workout for inner hydration and put some hydration back in the skin (after that wipe down) with Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist. Just a spritz and moisture is infused on the skin.

3. Conceal the deal under your eyes. A little dab will do ya. Even if your skin still has a gym-glow, under the eyes you will need a little evening out with L’oreal’s True Match Concealer. Paint a dab in the inner corners under the eye and pat out gently with your ring fingertip, not applying too much pressure.

4. Now that your fingers are working out too, dab on a drop of Kiss My Face 3 Way Color. You can apply a little on the eyelid, then on the cheeks and lips. Wow! Too bad you can’t stretch, lift weights and do cardio all
at the same time as well.

5. Now this is a natural, fresh and healthy look so go easy on the eyes with just a coat of mascara. Water resistant mascara is just the finishing touch.

You can push your body long and hard in the gym, but you don’t have to neglect your face after. With these 5 compact products you can spend 2 minutes in the locker room, and make everyone wonder how you can pull yourself together so quickly. Now, run beauty run!
