Where did YOU sleep last night?

 
This was an actual text we received yesterday: “Slept at Scott’s, no makeup at work, feel like crap.” What? What century are we living in? Even Civil War –era Scarlett O’Hara knew to pinch her cheeks for natural rouge when Rhett Butler came unexpectedly calling. How is it possible that a fellow beauty-obsessed friend is running around without the vitals in her purse in this day and age? Here, we’re gonna break down the must-haves for every girl’s necessary beauty in a bind kit. Whether you’re leaving Scott’s house and headed to work, filing off an airplane and headed to dinner, or waking up in Vegas Katy Perry style, the contents of this kit will trick ‘em into thinking you slept 8 sober hours in your own bed. Even if the truth is far from it. Here are 10 steps to transform you from zombie bride to beauty queen.

Let’s start with the basics. Your breath. Reach for your SuperSmile single dose mouth rinse.
