Date

Killer cramps, sudden breakouts, and bloating that makes me feel like I could float away are more than enough reasons to hibernate during my period. But when my cute new boy invited me to be his date at a fancy schmancy dinner, I came up with a few quick beauty tricks to snap out of my moody mode pronto!

1. No fuss is definitely a plus.
Follow these simple steps for a chic, clean style with two sweeps of a brush!

Make a side-part and pull your hair into a low side-pony. Secure with an elastic and create a messy bun. Top off with a cute headband (my sassy pick is by Goody!) and you’re good to go!

2. Don't let breakouts bum you out.
Treat pimples with a salicylic acne spot treatment like Nature’s Gate Organics Extra Strength Spot Corrector ($9.99 at Whole Foods Market).

Stash blotting papers like Clean and Clear Morning Burst Oil Absorbing Sheets ($4.99 at drugstores nationwide) in your pocket. A quick dab over your face will remove any excess oil without smudging your makeup!

3. Make-up, don't cake-up!
Stay away from thick foundations. Think light and bright! A good mineral powder foundation will reflect light from your skin while covering any breakouts. Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Powder ($9.95 at drugstores nationwide) will do the trick.

Last but so not least, pair your look with awesome friends and exciting plans. You’ll forget about the once-a-month blah feelings that almost kept you in! Do you have any of your own tips and tricks? Tell me!
