This week I was running from swimming lessons to gymnastics with lunches and dinners with family in from out of town. It is great seeing family and spending some serious quality time with everyone. My Aunt and I made our first attempt at making French Macaroons whisking by hand. Yes! We are crazy. They came out pretty good, but I bought a whisk attachment for my stand mixer that will likely bring the macroons to blog post worthy.
Since I was a crazy person running all over town, I expected to look horrible with no foundation left on my face and black lines under my eyes. I am happy to say that I still looked put together even after hours of running around. I am very impressed by Hayden Pantierre’s All Day Beauty videos with Neutrogena. I chose the day off look because technically the day I described is a day off from work. As a new mom, I never really have a day off, but this is the closest thing I get to it.
First, I start by taking a shower and washing my hair with Triple Repair Fortifying Shampoo & Conditioner. It helps take care of split ends, protects from breakage, and works great on color treated hair. Also, it does not leave my hair greasy, but makes it look shiny.
Next, I start my morning facial beauty routine with Neutrogena Oil Free Moisturizer because it is not greasy and it does not make me break out. I have been using this moisturizer for years and love how light it is.
Then, I cover my entire face and neck with Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 20 in Buff. It is a light coverage that glides on easily, hides and looks natural at the same time. It also has an exclusive blend of antioxidants and Broad Spectrum SPF 20 for great protect that maintains my skin’s healthy look.
Next, I put on Neutrogena® Shine Control Powder which helps skin stay shine-free and fresh-looking all day. The lightweight powder with patent-pending rice protein technology acts like a sponge to absorb excess oil and instantly eliminates shine for a fresh look that lasts for 8 hours. Layers invisibly over makeup with a matte finish. You don’t want to put on too much, just a quick sweep. I kept in my bag with a small brush for shiny touch ups. After all, it is still summer and today it was 94 degrees.
After my face is put on, I put just a little eye makeup on to make my eyes pop. I look tired without any mascara so I apply Neutrogena® Healthy Volume® Mascara Regular and Neutrogena Nourishing Eyeliner both in black. The liner goes on the inside of my lid to make the mascara stand out more. I do not use on my lower lashes ad I feel that is a little overdone for a day look.
Lastly, I top off the look with Neutrogena® MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Sweet Watermelon. The Color Stick instantly moisturize lips, while continuously conditioning them so they are softer and smoother in just 3 days with nothing on them. It is made with fruit extracts along with mango and shea butter. It is a balm-like formula that goes on very easily. No liner needed. It is a very sheer color that lasts for hours. I was shocked when it was still on 4 hours into my day when I grabbed lunch. Also, it is twist up pencil with no sharpener needed.
I picked up all these goodies at Target. I got 10% off Neutrogena products with my Cartwheel App. Check out the Target Beauty Concierge event. The Event begins August 24th, Limited quantities available. Check with your local Target store for Beauty Concierge day and times.

What do you think of my Day Off Makeup Look?
You have such pretty skin, it looks flawless! Looks like a great beauty look. I want that lip color!!
I use that exact mascara! Because right now it is the only one that doesn’t irritate my eyes! LOVE IT!
That looks great! I usually don’t wear makeup on the weekends 😉
I absolutely love the look! My peeve is so much makeup, it’s something that I don’t think looks very good and actually really inflames me face. Which is why I’ve worn Neutrogena for years and years – their cleansers are ones that I’ve used since I was a teen!
I love Neutogena products. They are some of the few that make my skin look great without any problems with clogging my pores.
That Neutrogena Triple Repair haircare system has worked miracles for me, I swear by it! I will have to take a look at some of Hayden’s videos for some simple and quick beauty tips.
I have oily skin too so I need to try the moisturizer you use. You have such great skin without make-up!
I love it! I am not a heavy makeup person.
You have a beautiful face and beautiful skin. I try to take some days off like today. When I am home all day I do not put make up on.
You have beautiful skin! I love Neutrogena products, especially now that I’m wearing more make-up to go to my “real” job. It is so light and it doesn’t feel like it’s melting off my face in this crazy California sun. Couldn’t be better!
Perfection! I love a good day makeup free. I also love the Cartwheel app!
Wow, you look great and your skin looks SO clear and vibrant. I have very oily skin and know what it’s like to go a few hours with makeup and have to stop and touch it up with loose powder. It helps absorb the excess oil but then later on it makes my face itchy. I plan to check out those products.
You are such a natural beauty, April. On the inside and out.
I love Neutroogena and your day off makeup looks like fun you look amazing in the colors and shades that you choose… loved your post..thanks for sharing
I like your look! It looks very natural. I am all for easy looks. That’s pretty much my everyday look.
You look great! You don’t look like you have a bit of makeup on, and that’s a good thing, in my opinion.
Looks good to me! I think less is more when it comes to makeup!
Wow, you look amazing both with and without… I love the more natural looks…
I think your day off makeup routine is beautiful. I have a tender place in my heart for all things Neutrogena. I’ve used it since I was a teen. I’ll have to try some of the products you shared about.
Looks like a great look. I love the natural looks I don’t have time with three kids to get makeup done up every day and take forever. Your steps look easy and quick to do.
Very seldom do I wear makeup and when I do it is very minimal. I keep my skin hydrated and smooth with Neutrogena products that’s for sure!
What a fantastic look! You look so natural. I am going to try these products.
I do not wear make up but I would like to try the Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 20. I like that it has SPF 20 in it.
You look gorgeous! I love the light natural look- fresh and beautiful!
LOVE your Day Off Look! It’s really light and playful which is something I love when it come to makeup.
You did your makeup so well. I love the colorstick color and it’s watermelon!
Great tutorial! now I have to ask you – where did you get that shirt / what brand cause it looks super cute and now I want that too! lol
You look great. I am going to have to look out for these products the next time I am shopping for beauty supplies.
You look beautiful! I love your natural looking make-up! #client
I love all the make up choices. Looks good on you.
Very pretty. I love natural-looking makeup.
