INSPIRATION // dark circles under my eyes (inspiration board)

You know when you get so tired, you just want to fall asleep even though it's nine in the morning? When no matter how much concealer you use, you still have huge purple circles the size of Texas under your eyes? How your hair is always kind of greasy, kind of frizzy; how suddenly your complexion goes from perfect to pizza overnight? How all the colors seem faded and you're always cold?

It's been like that for me for the past few days. I'm blaming allergies.

So in lieu of a proper outfit post (me = not photogenic or creative right now) or a nice thoughtful wordy post (me = too tired to function), I've pulled together a stream-of-consciousness kind of post — an inspiration/idea board of sorts for the tired girls of the world.

  4. I can totally relate. In fact, that is how I am feeling right now. Tired, frumpy, lazy and my face looks like...well...a mountain range. Anna Gray + Wasp Sting + Benadryl + Mock Trial = x_x

    Get you a goodnight sleep and take a hot shower!

  5. Ugh, the WORST thing is waking up to being a pizza face. It kinda throws you off for the rest of the day... at least if you're me. I hope you feel better soon!

  8. Yeah... Been there. Done that. It's no fun. Hehe, love that first pic...so felt like that last week (I'm blaming the worst head cold ever. :])

    Get a goodnight's sleep. Drinking tea before bed has always been a must for sleeplessness.

    Blessings!

  10. I feel you! I never suffered from allergies before...but, this spring. It's bad. Not fun. Plus, I'm tired -- and I actually did find a new zit this morning.

    We all can totally relate! I'm off to bed to hopefully get some sleep (I blame reading too late with a good book, and school-work forcing me to get up in the morning...)

  11. What time do you sleep? I never stay up as late as 12 a.m. unless I'm studying/cramming for an exam. I'm scared of getting huge eye bags. They make me look weird. LOL. (:

  12. That's a lot of pictures for a tired post. Hope you feel better soon.

  13. haha, that's exactly how I feel right now. I could fall asleep at anytime if I wanted to... yesterday morning, I woke up, got ready, and went downstairs feeling sick, resulting with me falling asleep for an hour on the couch. :P

  14. AMEN! The first picture looks exactly what I may do at any moment...

  18. I know just how you feel. My sister and I were up all night performing with our choir in 'BOY FROM OZ.' I have bags under my eyes the size of footballs!

  19. I'm with you on the under eye circles. Finally cared enough this morning to dab some yellow concealer on them. And the pizza face, uh yeah, woke up last week, a few days before being in a wedding, and was covered in 3 PAINFUL pimples. Why doesn't that stuff always happen at inopportune times?

  20. I love all the eye makeup photos here...very inspirational.

    I am having a Free People give-away on my blog if you're interested.
