How to look fab in under 10 minutes!

If you’re anything like me and about 99% of the gals I know, you’ve only got 10 minutes in the morning to put together your look. Some ladies can get away with looking like goddesses post 10 minute hair & makeup prep and others just look like a ball of HOT MESS! So what do all those glam girls do to prep in the morning?? I discovered some of their little secrets and I’ll let YOU in on it =]

1. DRY SHAMPOO-
Big thanks to the lazy dirty genius who created this lil potion!
For those mornings when your hair NEEDS a wash but your clocks yelling for you to be somewhere else. Dry shampoo works just like shampoo making hair clean (looking), smelling great, and fresh sans WATER. Great for camping and post all-nighters!


2. Goody Spin Pin
The Spin Pin-What an invention! When I first saw the commercial, I was intrigued about what a tiny piece of metal resembling a DNA link would do for my hair. But one trip to the drug store and six bucks later, I have to say that this tiny hair accessory is mind-blasting (seriously!!)!
You know those messy buns a la Hollywood we all aim for, but end up paying big bucks at Salon’s to get?? Well, SPIN PIN can create these amazing buns in less than 2 minutes and they stay in ALL DAY! No more nights filled with untangling hair from 2739287 bobby pins or dealing with god-forsaken hairspray! Just TWIST your hair and SPIN PIN it and voila! You’re set!


3. A perfect Little Black Dress
Finding the perfect outfit in the morning can make or break your day! Start off on the right foot with a perfect little black dress and pumps! MINK PINK’s Knot Again dress can work for ANY occasion. Just imagine the possibilities (cue dreamy music) a day at the office, lunch with the girls, coffee date with your cutie, shopping, night out, and the list goes on and on! Pair it with cute flats for the day or pumps and a flashy clutch for nighttime! Spend less time staring at clothes in your closet and more time lookin' fab!


Those are the time saving tricks I’ve found to be helpful. What are YOU guys doing to look fab under the clock?? Tweet us @shopmoderne and let us know!

Kiss kiss - Victoria's Secret Very Voluptuous Lip Plumper review

With so many Lip Plumpers on the market, we had to try one out.

VICTORIA'S SECRET VERY VOLUPTUOUS LIP PLUMPER RETAIL PRICE: $18

I've sampled a few lip plumpers and I haven't liked any of them for one reason : Excessive Tingling. Other lip plumpers have been very uncomfortable, and at times unbearable.

To my surprise, I really like Victoria's Secret Very Voluptuous Lip Plumper.

The lip gloss comes in a click pen style, so you can control how much you are applying. Also, the lip gloss isn't too thick, and easy to apply. Keeps your lips feeling moisturized too!

The tingling is definitely noticeable, but only upon initial application. The tingling also decreases the more you use the product. You don't have to worry about the 'hot sauce' feeling, nor do you have to worry about your lips 'itching' because of the tingling.

Within seconds of applying the lip gloss you can notice a difference. I was told that my lower lip looked fuller. Granted, the actual effect may not be dramatic, but I did notice slight enhancement. *This product is perfect if you want a little more fullness*

The product claims to smooth lines as well, but I can't really tell. However, the gloss did make my lips feel smoother. What I can say is that the smell is pleasant (like sugar, candy), and there is barely any taste to the gloss.

The product comes in 3 different shades: bare, baby pink and hot pink. I am using the baby pink- which is a light pink/ peachy hue.... and I really like it! (The gloss is supposed to be a 'self adjusting pigment' so you get your own personalized hue.)

If you have naturally full lips (or average size lips) and want a little enhancement to achieve sexy, full lips without injections ... TRY THIS PRODUCT.

If you have naturally thin lips you may want to try Very Voluptous EXTREME Lip Plumper.

Overall, paying $18 for a lip plumper is worth it. This product gives you a pleasant, ''it's working'' tingle, along with a nice smell, and well moisturized lips. If you want a little oomph - use this product alone, or with your lipstick. I use mine all day long!!
