5-Minute Mama: 3 Steps to Morning Makeup

May 26, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 22 Comments

Weekday mornings are a mad sprint in our house. I’m happy if I can find the kids clean clothes to wear, a little food in their tummies and to school before the tardy bell rings (and that’s on a good day!) While the kids look presentable, I dodge eye contact with anyone at morning drop off because of the way I look. I normally in Pjs or yoga pants, my hair is pulled back and not a lick of makeup, especially under my eyes where it already looks like I haven’t slept in about two weeks. In other words, I look hot. But how can I do it any other way? I mean how do I squeeze in anything else in the morning if I can’t even get what I need to done?

In other words, I look hot.

But how can I do it any other way? I mean how do I squeeze in anything else in the morning if I can’t even get what I need to done?

All you need is five minutes. That’s right, with the help of my lovely friend at Blushington, in five minutes and only three steps, not only can I cover those dark circles, but get a look that says, “I’m a mom that not only has it together, but feels good about herself and looks good.” And now I”m going to share how I learned to do your morning makeup in five minutes.

So unfortunately, this beautiful studio isn’t my house, but is the fantastic Blushington location in Dallas. With two other hotspots in California, Blushington is your answer for making you look your best whenever you need it. Besides being able to create a beautiful look on your special day or occasion, Blushington also provides makeup classes or Makeup 101 to help you with perfect tips just for you like this:

Five Minute Makeup for Moms

1. Lighten up!

Smile at yourself and then with a clean face (a little exfoliation can actually create a natural glow without makeup!) Then apply a little concealer with a peach/yellow hue so it looks natural, but also is able to help get rid of the dark circles and other discolorations in your face. I’m a huge fan of Laura Mercier, but I was introduced to Becca Cosmetics (affiliate link) at Blushington and it worked like a champ on my undereye circles!

2. Hi Eyes! Once you have a smooth, natural look, then it’s time to open your eyes! My consultant said your

Once you have a smooth, natural look, then it’s time to open your eyes! My consultant said your eyelash curler and filling in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil (affiliate link) is your best friend to make those eyes open. You don’t have to put on the whole Kardashian look in the morning either…just a few seconds to curl those lashes and fill in the spots where your eyebrows aren’t quite perfect and you’re set!

3. Master the Multitask!

Moms already know how to do 100 things at once and with makeup you get a time and cost break with a lip and cheek stain! This one from Becca (affiliate) worked like a charm to give cheeks and lips the right amount of natural color that make it look like you just have that “glow” that normally people only say when you’re pregnant! (This time you don’t have any of the swelling or sleepless nights to go with it!)And that’s all you need to get up and go!

You can use this for school drop off, quick trips to the store or those days you just want that natural look! I had so much fun while I was at Blushington during my one-hour Makeup 101 and learned so many things I had been doing wrong to my face! You can even bring your own products so you can learn to use what you have the right way! After almost 30 years of putting on makeup, I was appalled how much I learned, but just take a look at the finished product!

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a Night Out

May 7, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 16 Comments

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Calvin Klein. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. #IC #euphoria4moms

I don’t intentionally mean not to make time for date night, it just happens. We’ll it actually doesn’t happen and that’s the problem.

We both know that it’s important to spend time together away from the kids to concentrate on celebrating parts of our marriage. But it seems so counterintuitive that the thing that is supposed to be a treat – something to look forward to that doesn’t require me to cook, clean or work, but instead have a good time, shouldn’t be so much work to make it happen. Finding the time, a babysitter, what to wear, what to do, where to go, and making sure things are good for the kids, etc. is a lot to coordinate and that’s just to get out the door. But I made a commitment that this time we wouldn’t let it just pass by on the calendar, we would go, experience something new, put on some and do it when we never go out – a weekday.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we would celebrate with a night on the town to FINALLY go to one of the “bucket list” restaurants we had been eyeing, Clark Food & Wood Co. And I would make it a point to dress up, wear something new, instead of something I had owned for years, and feel good about myself – you know, like you would have done when you first started dating and a date was a really big deal.

Ironically, when I went to look for a dress at, I was surrounded by young girls, having their makeup done, their hair done and beautiful dresses…it was prom season and I was smack dab in the middle of the beauty portion. However, it kinda added to my preparation period to and now I also wanted to make our night memorable, too. While our evening didn’t call for sequins, I wanted something when I slipped it on it made me feel alluring, sexy and make my husband drool – just a little. A few sprays of euphoria Calvin Klein, with its exotic florals and hints of mahogany wood, was exactly the right touch to make this day the “every day special occasion.”

The night at Clark Food and Wine Co. on Lower Greenville was ideal with the perfect patio temperature to enjoy eating outdoors and taking our time to exploring the menu that’s designed for sharing. Starting with craft cocktails including roasted bone marrow with truffle, grilled Texas Bobwhite quail, and a mind-blowing charcuterie with a rabbit and pork pate that I couldn’t stop eating and a buttermilk bleu cheese with honeycomb combo that could be dessert within itself.

We tried things we don’t normally eat and best of all, there were even options for those are gluten-sensitive so we didn’t have to make big exceptions to the dining experience. Kinda like a song, the evening was right, the food was right and the delicious Sangiovese we enjoyed down to the last drop made the night one for the books. While we bit into the bites of housemade picked and caper berries, we actually had the opportunity to talk about things that weren’t work or kid related, but us – the ones we met when we first met and decided to create a family together.

[Tweet “Celebrate #MothersDay w/ a Night Out! @Dillards, @clarkfoodwineco & #euphoria4moms #IC #ad”]

While I’ll love the Mother’s Day cards the kids will give me on Sunday with the breakfast of Pop Tarts they’ll make, this Mother’s Day it was nice to celebrate a night out with the other part of me that made me a mother…my husband.

Make your Mother’s Day mean more when euphoria Calvin Klein. Now through Mother’s Day, purchase a large spray from the euphoria Calvin Klein fragrance collection at and receive a complimentary live orchid.

Say More This Mother’s Day with Euphoria Calvin Klein

What’s the best gift you’ve been given for Mother’s Day?

Some moms may receive a piece of jewelry. Others might unwrap an appliance like a mixer or a vacuum. And others, well we don’t necessarily get anything at all.

Ironically it’s not that we expect something huge or extravagant. However, something like flowers or something that makes us feel good about ourselves goes a long way to say “thank you,” “I love you” and “you’re special.”

This Mother’s Day say all of that and more with one purchase for euphoria Calvin Klein.

Now through Mother’s Day, buy a large spray of euphoria Calvin Klein fragrance collection at Macy’s and and you’ll also receive a beautiful live orchid with your purchase.

Many women work to find a fragrance that personifies them and gets people to notice when they walk into a room because the scent is intoxicating and calls for attention in addictive way. With a long day of diapers, dishes and making dinner, it’s an incredible feeling of escape with just a few drops of euphoria Calvin Klein to make you feel mysterious, sexy and feminine.

With creamy notes of pomegranate, persimmon touched with rich black orchid and the champaca flower, euphoria Calvin Klein is a unique scent featuring seductive florals and exotic fruits. The signature of the scent is based with a sexy liquid amber and mahogany wood.

The heart of euphoria Calvin Klein is captured in the unique bottle inspired by the sophisticated design of the sensuous orchid with an amethyst color with a sleek silver top.

Best of all with this special coupling Mother’s Day is taken care of for you and him…

Face This: Daired’s New Facial with UltraLuxe BB Oil Reduces Aging

April 9, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo Leave a Comment

After a very LONG March, I was feeling like I aged about 20 years. And unfortunately when I looked in the mirror, I looked liked it, too. I needed some relaxation. I needed some TLC. I needed to do SOMETHING to get back to normal…actually to make me look and feel better than my normal would be even better.

Too bad I only had an hour to make magic happen.

However, with the NEW UltraLuxe BB Oil which launched nationally exclusively this month at Daireds Salon & Spa Pangéa in Arlington, an hour is all you need to reduce the appearance of age spots, wrinkles and pores and makes skin glow without the use of makeup.

Just the experience at Daireds Salon & Spa Pangéa is a treat with its 18,000 square-feet of beautiful spa and salon space. Walking into the beautiful glass doors, I was whisked into a calming environment, free of phone calls, people wanting things and just a moment to take a breath. After slipping into the ultra plush robe (that I found out you can and I will be buying soon), I was able to relax and let the stress take a backseat while I took care of me (which as moms we are TERRIBLE at doing.)

After a few moments, I was invited to lie down in a room and cozy bed, while my service began. In just about an hour, I had a therapeutic facial complete with extractions, recommendations for how to take care of my skin’s problem areas and a little mini- massage on my arms, scalp and neck. My esthetician was so good to give me guidance about my skin and how the addition of the UltraLuxe BB Oil can do to decrease the signs of aging.

From reducing the appearance of age spots, wrinkles and pores to hydrating, moisturizing and plumping the skin, this cure-all luxury oil speeds up the healing process and calms skin with its potent aromatherapy and antioxidant properties. Six essential oils, including cranberry, lavender and rosemary, combine to make skin look and feel youthfully radiant from the inside out. UltraLuxe BB Oil is all-natural and vegan, as well as paraben and sulfate-free.

Inside Daireds Salon and Spa in Arlington

And when I was done with my one-hour of zen, I did feel refreshed and my skin did, too. But you don’t just have to wait for a facial to experience the results of the new UltraLuxe BB Oil, you can also purchase a bottle from Daireds and reap the benefits of continued use as part of your own, at-home daily skin regimen. If you don’t have one, then the trained staff will be happy to assist you in creating the right plan just for you.

The Skinny on MiniLuxe Dallas {Giveaway}

February 19, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 3 Comments

For me, getting my nails and toes done are much more than pretty polish.

It’s about taking time to breathe, to feel good about myself and just take care of me.

Unfortunately, that “me time” is often only found after kids’ bed times and when my eyelids finally fall heavy…and well after any nail place is still willing to buff, paint and polish or rib any hair from my eyebrows.

That is until now.

With the utmost in cleanliness, hours that work for me, and even an app to set my appointment, MiniLuxe is prepared to meet my needs and a whole lot more.

All nail lacquer on the polish wall is at least 3-free (no formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalates or toluene), and their own MiniLuxe brand polish is 5-free (also excludes camphor and formaldehyde resin).

Beautify You at BEAUTY LIVE This Weekend at Galleria Dallas

April 10, 2014 By Autumn Rose Reo Leave a Comment

Even if it doesn’t look like I wear it, I love makeup.

I mean my favorite “holiday” after Christmas growing up was Clinique Bonus time. Now as an adult, I’m not just on the lookout for a new favorite lipgloss, but now I’m looking at wrinkle reducer, eye brightener, primer and all those other things that sound more like painting a house than applying makeup.

Ripe for the Picking: 8 Great Natural Products for Winter Beauty

February 17, 2014 By Autumn Rose Reo 1 Comment

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. #WalgreensBeauty #CollectiveBias #Shop

In Texas you never know what Mother Nature is going to deal you especially in the winter time. But one thing is for certain: your skin and hair is going to suffer some serious stress from the weather. However, with a little help from your neighborhood Walgreens, I’ve discovered some great natural beauty products that will make your skin feel as fresh as a peach, your hair just like it’s “mint” to be and at a price that will make your wallet happy, too! Shouldn’t you give your body the same goodness on the outside as you do the inside?

1. Yes to Tomatoes Skin Clearing Facial Mask

The winter season puts stress on everything, but especially on your skin. Like the skin of a tomato, our skin is tender and needs gentle care to keep it shiny and clean. Yes to Tomatoes combines Lycopene (the antioxidant found in tomatoes) and Dead Sea mud (legendary for its amazing benefits to the skin) for the ideal facial cocktail that in just five minutes, 1-2 times a week, CAN balance blotchiness and balance your skin tone.

2. St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub

In the winter not only does your regular beauty routine need a boost, but you also have to spend a little more time on the details like exfoliating and moisturizing. To get your skin looking its best, you have to scrub away the dry skin as well as trying to maintain the moisture. A classic for many shower routines for decades, St. Ives Blemis Control Apricot Scrub not only gently takes care of getting rid of the old skin, but those embarrassing blemishes with 100% natural exfoliants.

3. Renpure Solutions Rosemary Mint Cleansing Conditioner

A few years ago my hairdresser told me I should quit washing my hair.

The suggestion caught me off guard especially since I am the owner of some thick, unruly and after-one-day-pretty-poly head of hair. However, he explained that using shampoo actually strips the hair of natural oils needed to protect it during the several weather conditions we experience in the winter. Instead using a cleansing conditioner like Renpure’s Rosemary Mint cleanse the hair while keeping in the moisture. And with other natural ingredients like Coconut Oil and Shea Butter, will leave hair soft and healthy with shine and luster.

4. Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Vitalizing Body Gel Oil

While slathering lotion should be part of your routine, applying moisture even before you get out of the shower is an ideal opportunity to get your skin in prime condition. With Vaseline’s Body Gel Oil gives you the benefits of an oil without the slippery mess. Your skin is left healthy and glowing and that’s before you even get your day going!

5. Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh Intensive Skin Repair Serum

Blueberries may make a delicious muffin, but they also are full of anti-oxidants like Vitamin and Anthocyanins to fight the formation of free radicals that can damage the skin’s microstructure. Additionally, with organic cotton thistle, black currant and apple, the Yes to Blueberries Intensive Skin Repair Serum will give your skin the ammo it needs to find the sings of aging leaving your skin firm, protect your skin, diminish fine lines and wrinkles.

6. Yes to Grapefruit CC Cream

Like blueberries, grapefruits have amazing natural properties to make your skin look newer by brightening dark age spots and repair hyperpigmentation. Best of all you can find these benefits in a CC cream! If you’ve never used a CC cream, it’s like a 3-in-1 with color correcting properties, moisturizer, and SPF 18. And as an added bonus, the light tint (available in two shades), provides just the right amount of color so you can complete your facial routine in just one step!

7. Nivea Lip Butter Vanilla and Macadamia Kiss

Winter does just as much damage on your lips as it does your skin! So don’t forget to apply more moisture to your lips! Nivea is an established brand for exceptional skin products and this one is no different! PLUS the smell and slight flavor of the Vanilla and Macadamia Kiss makes it a treat each time you apply! Just remember you’re supposed to wear it and not eat it.

8. Yes to Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes

I’ve been a long time fan of the Yes to Cucumber Facial Towelettes. When I was pregnant in the middle of the Texas summer these were the only way I could cool off quickly and freshen up without taking three showers a day. Now, these babies continue to be lifesavers when I’m so exhausted I can’t do the three step skin care routine, but still need to take my makeup off. And if you do a workout and then have to do errand before you get to shower, they make you feel fresh! Oh, and traveling is cinch because you don’t have to pack your cleanser and eye remover in your carryon!

Have a few other areas that need a little attention? Or looking for the idea travel-sized kit for all your winter skin needs? Don’t forget to check out the Burt’s Bees corner at Walgreens! They have so many natural options for your skin needs – including a nail and toe sampler that is a must-have any time of the year for the best at-home mani and pedi!

Walgreens is the perfect place to find exactly what you need this winter season for healthy skin, hair, nails and more!

What’s your best winter beauty tip do you have to share?

Healthy Winter Skin is In: Free Skin Check at DermOne DFW Now

February 13, 2014 By Autumn Rose Reo Leave a Comment

Normally in Texas we break out the big winter coat 1-2 times a winter season. Sometimes I even look in my coat closet and wonder why we spend as much money on big coats so they can gather dust and take up room.

This year has not be the case. And with all this covering up and dressing in layers, you tend not to worry about your skin except to get slather up on lotion as we feel our hands crack and peel until around March or April when the warm temps finally do show their face and you begin to show your skin.

However, now is actually the right time to think about your skin and getting your hide checked for skin cancer.

To celebrate the opening of five DermOne Dermatology Centers locations in Dallas/Fort Worth, DermOne is providing 500 free skin care checks ($80,000 value) to the community.

To book a free exam, you can simply call one of the DermOne offices by Feb. 28 and mention “Healthy Skin DFW” to receive a free skin check.

Skin cancer is a serious issue in North Texas. In fact:

It’s the most common form of cancer in the U.S., with more than 3.5 million skin cancers diagnosed in more than two million people annually.
There are more new cases of skin cancer than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer – combined.
When left unchecked, skin cancer can be deadly faster than any of us would like to think.

In around 20 minutes, you can take a big step at taking care of your body’s biggest organ!

Other services at DermOne include:

General dermatology, including treatment of acne, eczema, warts, rashes, moles and much more;
Skin cancer screenings and surgery;

5 Must-Have Beauty Finds for Fall

October 21, 2013 By Autumn Rose Reo 1 Comment

Disclaimer:
I received the best bag of beauty goodies from Nordstrom at their fall Trend Show for this review. Although I loved all the products, there were a few standouts I had to share.

One of my favorite “holidays,” Nordstrom Trend Show, took over Galleria Dallas to reveal to hundreds of beauty-minded women the newest and coolest products coming to the market for fall. If you’ve never been to Trend Show, I’d highly advise you sign up for “beauty church” to enjoy a full morning of all things beauty with products, samples and services.

It’s a great time to update your makeup bag and enjoy a fun day of all things beauty. There are lots of things to recommend, but these are at 5 musts for all women!

1. Age Arrest from Kate Somerville
According to the folks at Kate Somerville, Age Arrest “is the first anti-aging treatment with Telo-5™ Technology to prolong the life of telomeres for a youthful glow.” While I don’t know what telemeres is, the formula is proven to effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, increase firmness and elasticity, improve skin discoloration and hydrates the skin – making it feel soft and rich. And the container is pretty awesome too – with one pump, the innovative dispenser measures the exact amount you need. ”

2. NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo

Every girl appreciates a product that multi-tasks and this bronzer/blush duo can also play on the lips if you are just looking for a slight bit of color. The colors are perfectly paired to give you the perfect glow throughout the year.

3. Chantecaille Supreme Cils Mascara
I’ve had all kinds of brushes over the years that promised to do all kinds of stuff, but this snowflake design from Chantecaille’s Supreme Cils Mascara lifts, coats and separates – clump free. And it’s water resistant so those lovely lids can stay in place all day long.

4. Airflash Matte Touch Long-Lasting Airy Powder Finishing Spray

I was sitting at a restaurant and noticed this gal, working her tail off had the best makeup – even while she was sweating and running around. I asked her what she wore and she immediately said Dior’s “air” line was the answer to her dreams! And this ultrafine mist is part of the reason that makeup can stay all day giving a velvety matte, shine-free finish so the way that you put make up on is the way it stays – all day!

5. Perricone MD Nutritive Cleanser
Taking off your makeup is even more important than the make up you put on! Perricone MD has long been recognized as an industry leader for anti-aging, Nutritive Cleanser is designed to make skin, soft, smooth and radiant, while delivering anti-aging benefits plus lifting and contouring benefits.
