Hellllooooo dark circles, red splotches, and cracked lips!

Id read about so-called hangover lifesavers before.
For science and also because I really, really needed some beauty hack magic at that particular moment.
I did feel a little less out of it when I stepped out.

But I usually do feel more awake after any showerwith or without the minty soap.
Would I Do It Again?If I had the minty products on hand, why not.
After removing this mask, my other products went on smooth instead of getting stuck on dry flakes.

Would I Do It Again?If I’ve got five minutes to spare, sure.
I Tried:The cucumber already chilling in my fridge.
It did not look (or feel) as sexy as it does in a rom-com spa scene.

Overall, this DIY trick was wasteful of cucumbers real talentgiving my soggy salads some bite.
Would I Do It Again?No.
I love to eat cucumbers too much.

But, the wet black tea felt sticky and dirty after I just scrubbed with minty soap.
However, I do have to say it worked.
My dark circles appeared lighter after only five minutes.

Would I Do It Again?Probably not.
It was too messy, and I could use acaffeine-infused eye creamto get a similar effect.
Did It Work?This was by far my favorite way to attack tired eyes.

But soon the temperature adjusted with my body heat.
I also liked that you could control the pressure.

Would I Do It Again?Definitely.

It was just so easy and simple.
Plus, the spoons only took a few minutes to get cold.
Otherwise I looked ghostly pale.

The two combined looked and felt really natural and clean.
Would I Do It Again?Yes!
I feel like I dont even have a choice, it just worked so well.
So, I was really interested to see how much of a difference this tip would make.
I can never go back to that lash curler-less life.
It actually separated my lashes and made them look longer.
If I wanted to skip mascara altogether, I’d just grab this tool and go.
Would I Do It Again?Yes.
I’d use this trick even on mornings when I’m not hungover.
I Tried:Marc Jacobs Fineliner in Big (Eyes!
The truth: this step paired with the lash curling is pretty awesome.
The white liner made my eyes pop a bit more.
It even added a little glimmer to my gaze, like an old fashion movie star.
OK, maybe not that far, but a step in the right direction!
Would I Do It Again?Definitely.
I didnt have to apply mascara or shadow afterwards, which saved major time.
A bright lip color always looks done-up even if you’re not wearing any other makeup.
For hangovers, skip the matte tubes and go for a creamy formula.
After a night of drinking, hydration is key.
Would I Do It Again?It will always be my go-to.
The biggest lesson I learned from the whole test run: cucumber eye masks arent glamorous or efficient.
Theyre awkward and annoying IRL.
Now Ive nailed down a 20-minute hangover routine.
So, I can look like a new woman on Sundayno matter how many drinks I have Saturday night.
