Packing for my Thanksgiving weekend in NJ solidified what I already knew...I slightly overpack and frequently bring the wrong items with me. Hello, where are my socks? Favorite sweatshirt?

My motto is bring everything - spare nothing! However, when my suitcase looks like it may burst at any moment, it's time to remove a pair of shoes or two.

What skin-saver is not leaving my carry-on bag? Oh, just a little beauty essential that I discovered called Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base.

I have a Cinderella skin tone, so the majority of under eye concealers appear to make me look like I just left a tanning bed, but not this one. Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base blends easily with a super smooth finish. Application is seamless with Clarins' soft brush. I love that the applicator is attached and I give it a quick rinse after each usage.

This creamy, long-lasting formula leaves my under eye area moisturized and free from dark circles. Now, that's what I call a holiday miracle!

What's your latest beauty miracle?
