We all need a quick beauty fix in our back pocket, right? I mean, I work from home and so does my husband, so looking haggard all day isn’t my idea of a good time. It doesn’t make me feel good, either. And with a toddler, I often need to do something fast. I’ve found the perfect solution – Laura Mercier’s Metallic Creme Eye Colour does just the trick.

I can put it on my eyes, cheeks, even lips. In seconds, I go from barely looking awake, to shimmering and beautiful. I initially purchased it for a tropical vacation, but now I use it all year round. I like the platinum for my skin, but for a switch, the alloy looks great too. And seriously, the tube (at $22) has lasted me a year.

Now that’s dollars & sense!
