5-minute makeover Have a long night? Freshen up fast before work the next morning with these handy products. By Kimiko Martinez

kimiko.martinez@intakeweekly.com

ou’re already well aware of which McDonald’s is open all night and where to go shopping for munchies at 4 a.m. In fact, you’re a regular. But how do you manage to pull it together the next morning without looking like you spent the evening on all fours licking the barroom floor? And without a shower? These products can help:

1 2 3 4 5 4 6 7

Wake me up before you go go

Tame the lock-mess monster with a couple of spritzes of this Freshen-up Mist by Jonathan. Created to “refresh and rework models’ dirty hair” when shampooing just isn’t possible, this mist is great for waking up skin, too. $18 at Sephora, Fashion Mall, 8702 Keystone Crossing.

Well red

Nothing’s more of a dead giveaway that you’ve been up to no good than bloodshot eyes. Fix that with Visine Advanced Relief, $1.94 at Wal-Mart, multiple locations.

3 2

Be a bathing beauty

You likely smell like the bottom of an ashtray if you were out in the bars, so at least run a couple of baby wipes over your skin as a makeshift shower. CVS SoftCloths Supreme, 99 cents at CVS/pharmacy, multiple locations.

The pits

Carry a travel-sized deodorant stick to beat the heat. Follow it up with a shot of body spray to mask any lingering manly musk. Speed Stick, 99 cents at CVS/pharmacy, Tag Body Shots $2.97 at Wal-Mart.

Oil spill clean up

Want to get rid of the massive shine all over your face? Just rub one of these blotting cloths over that mug to sop up that excess mess. $10 at Sephora.

Breathe easy

Sure, you made it to work on time. But you forgot to gargle a little bit of Listerine. No problem, just run an Oral-B BrushUps tooth wipe over those pearly wipes for a minty-fresh quick fix. $1.29 at CVS/pharmacy.

Dud-ly Do-right

You’ve managed to pull yourself together quite nicely. But your clothes still reek. A couple of sprays of Febreze and you’re good to go. $4.44 at Wal-Mart.

Euro soars, but Hoosiers still book Europe

Some inexpensive cosmetic products rival the costly brands

By Zach Dunkin

zach.dunkin@indystar.com

The value of the U.S. dollar is shrinking abroad. But it’s not stopping Hoosier travelers from making summer plans for Europe, local travel agents say. “There’s the customary grumbling,” said Kelly Shea of Earle Travel on the Northside. “But the people who want to go to Europe will go to Europe.” “My travelers are more concerned about space and crowds over there this summer,” said Mark Moorhead of The Travel Agent in Carmel. The dollar hit a 26-year low last week against the British pound, cracking the $2 mark. U.S. currency also came within a cent of an alltime low against the euro. The pound was still slightly above $2 and the euro just over $1.36 Wednesday. “This has been going on for some time, yet travel to Europe was in big numbers for 2006,” said Tim Leffel, travel expert and author of “Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune” (Traveler’s Tales, $12.95). Nearly 13 million Americans visited Europe in 2006, a 4 percent increase over 2005. “People are just saying, ‘To heck with it, I’m going to go anyway, and I’m going to spend whatever it takes.’ ” But if paying twice as much for dinner in London is not your idea of a fair deal, there are more affordable alternatives. A traveler could: ! Go south of the border. “South America is so beautiful, and the price is right,” said Moorhead of his recent visit. Most countries in Central and South America are tied closely to the U.S. in currency. ! Go cruisin’. Tim Rinkoski of Crystal Cruises says the weak dollar makes his all-inclusive European cruises an even better value. “After paying twice as much for a cup of coffee and a pastry at a cute sidewalk cafe, they’ll soon figure out to eat their meals on the ship and then go see the sights,” he said. ! Go European-lite. Leffel suggests Quebec City, Buenos Aires, “or one of those places that make you feel like you are in Europe.” But if you insist on Europe, try Barcelona or Istanbul, which are relative bargains. ! Go later. If you must see Europe, wait until winter, when many hotels offer off-season discounts. And, of course, there’s always Mexico, where the peso is kind to the dollar, or the Caribbean, where Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos and the British and American Virgin Islands use the U.S. dollar as currency. “But, realistically, it’s still hard for people with their hearts set on Europe to make that substitution,” said Leffel.

Drugstore beauty A

By Kimiko Martinez

kimiko.martinez@indystar.com

dmit it. You may love M-A-C and swear by your $100 anti-aging face cream, but you’re not averse to strolling through the cosmetics aisle at the drugstore. You’ve been grabbing that same Maybelline mascara since high school, and it hasn’t let you down yet. Just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean it’s inferior. But you do, usually, get what you pay for. One $5 mascara can leave you with flakes and raccoon eyes, while another performs flawlessly. But which products stand up and stand out? Members of our staff — of varying ages and skin types — tried dozens of beauty products, each priced under $10 at local drugstores, to see which ones we’d actually use again. Here are our favorites:

7 TO TRY

FRANK ESPICH / Star photo illu stration

WOMAN ON THE STREET: MY FAVORITE BARGAIN BEAUTY PRODUCT Lindy Vaught, 27 “Great Lash mascara by Maybelline. My eyes are sensitive, so I used to buy Clinique because it wouldn’t make my eyes red. But this stuff is great; cheap, too.”

Nicole Miller, 30 “My fake nails! They’re only, like, $4.99 per box and you get two sets. Everybody thinks I’ve gone and gotten them done.”

Afua Anokwa, 27 “Clean & Clear’s Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer. It moisturizes, leaving no oily residue, AND it fights acne. It’s only $5.65 at Target or Wal-Mart.”

Kimmy Adamson, 22 “Wet ’n’ Wild. I’ve got a bag full of makeup, and it’s all cheap.”

STAFFERS: WHAT WE’D SPLURGE ON ! “Yves Saint Laurent ‘Volume Effet Faux Cils’ mascara, $26. It’s the next best thing to false eyelashes. And Tarte cheek stain, $28 at Sephora.” — Kelly Kendall ! “M-A-C paint in Untitled, $16. It’s like a foundation for my eyelids. And Artistry loose powder, $20.55. I don’t wear foundation, so I just brush on some medium powder to even out my tone, and I’m out the door.” — Kimiko Martinez

Avon’s Jillian Dempsey Sheer Glow All Over face powder, $11 (right) This pretty little compact has an array of colors, which, brushed on with a big fat face brush, do what the name promises. It gives a great glow, and in a pinch you can use the individual colors on the eyes too. Loved it. — Kimiko Martinez Revlon makeup eraser pen, $6.99 (left) The liner remover is excellent. However, you want to make sure it doesn’t dry out. It removes liner well and is a good investment if you’re prone to making mistakes in applying makeup. — Kim Mitchell Almay “Bare it All” Legs, $9.99 It comes in an aerosol can and makes your legs look flawless. It’s amazing. — Kelly Kendall Sally Hansen No Chip 10 Day Color, $4.49 (right) I picked this up in Resilient Red, and it’s my new favorite. The color is rich, even with just one coat. But for best results, use two. It didn’t go 10 days, but I’m pretty hard on my nails and it lasted longer than a lot of others I’ve used. Probably would have lasted even longer if I had applied a top coat. — Kimiko Martinez L’Oreal Colour Riche lip gloss, $7.99 (left) I actually really liked this one. It wasn’t too slippery or sticky, it stayed on and had good color, but not too much. — Kate Johnson Neutrogena Instant Nail Enhancer, $7.99 I’m a huge fan of stuff that just enhances natural beauty, so I tried this in Buffed Sheen. And I don’t wear nail polish often, so this was great. It’s not a polish, just a liquid formula with vitamins that you brush on and still lets your nails breathe. It made my nails look like I’d buffed them, nice and shiny, and it did keep them from peeling and chipping as much as they usually do. — Kimiko Martinez Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmers, $4. They’re just like the (lip balm), but with color. And they don’t get all sticky or gross. — Michelle Pemberton " Call Star reporter Kimiko Martinez at (317) 444-6305.

TREND WATCH Self-Splurge Can a day spa actually get away with the same self-serve philosophy as a restaurant buffet or gas station? Adding D.I.Y. treatments to your menu may be more practical and profitable than you think. Destination spas and bathhouse-style facilities have already adopted a “serve yourself” array of offerings. Here’s a sampling:

Guests at Skin Deep—The Body Spa (eskindeep.com) in Huntington Beach, California, can treat their minds and bodies with a guided, self-serve Zen Water Experience. The five-step treatment (45 min./ $45) incorporates the elements of earth, air, fire, water and wood. Guests journey alone through the rooms of the cave-like space and an attendant prompts them when it’s time to transition to the next step. “I don’t want people wearing a watch,” says Deborah Wood, owner. “I don’t want them to keep track of anything.” The treatment includes an exfoliating scrub under a warm rain shower, a therapeutic mud application followed by time in the steam room and a soak in a mineral-rich bath. “When people slow their bodies down, they need to slow their minds too,” Wood says. “This combines meditation and the healing aspect of water. It’s a symbolic cleansing of the body, and it allows the mind to settle.”

Girls Night clients at Boston’s Spa Newbury (spanewbury.com) skipped the bar and got an evening of “skin bartending” instead. This process was created by owner Selena Belisle, based on Dermalogica’s face-mapping skin analysis tool. The 1½-hour event included snacks and socialization—plus skin consultations and Q&A sessions led by licensed estheticians that culminated in do-ityourself facials with Pevonia and Dermalogica products ($50/person). “At first we were scratching our heads, wondering, ‘Is this going to work?’ For $55, we’ll do the facials for them,” Belisle says. “But we’ve had a lot of fun with them; never had a dissatisfied customer. And more than 50% purchase something.”

Forget painting the town, visitors at the self-serve Club Mud area at Glen Ivy Hot Springs (glenivy.com) in Corona, California, paint themselves instead. According to Denise Sutterfield, marketing manager, Club Mud is included in the spa’s admission price (Monday-Friday/$35, weekends and holidays/$48), and about 80% of guests opt to slather on the nutrient-rich, therapeutic red clay. “Because Club Mud is included, many of our guests feel that the treatment is just part of the day,” she says. “They keep coming back to enjoy Club Mud, because they see and feel the difference in their skin.” The magnesium oxide in the clay mud helps prevent leg cramps, osteoporosis and PMS. Its high iron content also cleanses blood, making clients less prone to lethargy. “Guests may think they’re getting down and dirty,” Sutterfield says, “but in reality, they’re getting spic-and-span!”

Rink minx STYLE: DERBY CHIC

From fishnet to plaid miniskirts, roller girls have a fashion all their own. By Kimiko Martinez

kimiko.martinez@intakeweekly.com

here are a few great things about roller derby — brawls, bitchiness and badass skaters. But part of what draws the crowd are those hot outfits. Nice, normal girls morph into their roller derby alter egos not only in name (think: Megan Enemies, Di N. Pain, Jule B. Sorry, Felon of Troy, etc.) but also in costume. Although teams have uniforms, players are allowed to modify them to fit their personalities. And during practices and promotions, roller girls are usually wearing their own ensembles, like the ones we’ve pulled together.

Betty Rumble: OK, maybe it’s not as old school as the Flintstones, but the fishnets are blue (Betty’s favorite color) and the dress is vintage-inspired. Dress, $30 from DEB at Greenwood Park Mall, blue fishnet tights, $5.95 from Future Shock, 6323 Ferguson St., skull leg warmers, $6.99 from Hot Topic, Castleton Square Mall.

Angelina Rolie

Angelina Rolie: Playing up one’s assets has worked for Mrs. Almost-Pitt, and it’s worked for plenty a roller derby girl. Cincher top by Tripp, $46 at Future Shock, matching polka dot mini skirt by Tripp, $32 at Hot Topic, hot pink fishnet tights, $5.95 at Future Shock, pink star tall socks, $10 at Future Shock.

Sixx Vixen

Sixx Vixen: There’s nothing like showing off your evil side in devil-red. Red pin-up dress with Day of the Dead skeleton print, $48 at Future Shock, red fishnet tights, $5.95 at Future Shock, black-andred-striped leg warmers, $6.99 at Hot Topic.

Ro Lynn Heads:

Skulls and crossbones are a favorite with many derby girls. Gray buttonup work shirt, $36 at Future Shock, strapless skull top, $24 at Hot Topic, gray-striped skull socks, $10 at Future Shock, hot pink fishnet tights, $5.95 at Future Shock, pin-striped miniskirt, $7.99 at DEB.
