The date nights, or just moments with just the two of us have started to become few and far between for my husband and I. Although we try to steal away time together as often as possible, with two kids, that’s not always easy. So, when the moments come up, you can bet I try to look a little special. I’m still a casual girl at heart, so my idea of looking a little special often includes a pair of pumps with my jeans instead of flats. Plus, my hubby is one country boy of a man, so he’s not one to dress up, together we make a perfectly casual pair.
So, first up in the post, I’m going to show you how I do my makeup for a date night. I’ve been trying Neutrogena® Hydro Boost tint and concealer, so I have a full review for you. I even did a video! I’m not one for video, so go easy on me, haha! Then I put together a few different outfits and I’ll let you weigh in on your favorite!
Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint
So, the star of the look, Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint. I know wrinkles and fine lines are slow growing, but for some reason, as soon as I turned 30, I was like, what happened to my face?! I immediately regret all of that sun worshipping I did as a teen (and let’s be honest, still do from time to time). My skin is still pretty decent, but I have uneven places and fine lines on my forehead and let’s not ignore the crows feet. So, I’m finding that cream formulas work the best on my skin. They blend into my skin, rather than sit on top, which hides those fine lines.
The Hydro Boost formula is creamy and lightweight, two of my favorite things. It has hylauronic acid in it, which is supposed to plump and hydrate your skin, making for even better application and wear. You can see in my video, that it is a light product, however, you can easily build upon it if you like more coverage. I grabbed a bottle at Walmart, along with the Hydro Boost concealer, and the Hydro Boost hydrating lip shine.
Being Neutrogena®, the price point is great and honestly, I’ve been really impressed with the product. I’ll buy it again for sure! I should also mention, this product is great in general, whether you have fine lines or not!
Check out the video for my full look, I’m no pro, so I keep it fairly simple!
Now, on to those outfits.
Casual Date Night Outfit Ideas

I took these pictures in my bedroom, because where do you get ready for a date night, your bedroom! It is supposed to warm up this week, so I can ditch my winter boots for a few days and hopefully break out some pumps and flats. Hallelujah! But, it’s still pretty cold, so I’m not breaking out a dress anytime soon.
Shop This Look
The first look is pretty basic, and honestly something I wear pretty often. I love this top from J. Crew Factory and these J. Crew jeans were worth their price tag. They tuck and hold everything in, in all the right places. I’m wearing these sole society pumps in nearly all of the outfits, because I’m pretty much in love. They are more comfortable than 97% of the shoes in my closet, just saying. I’m thinking I need more colors.
Shop This Look
I’m thinking this could look cute with this blazer (also great for casual day at work), or for even more comfort, like a movie date, these flats and this sweater blazer.

Going another direction, I was thinking I could break out the winter white!

Of course it will be cold out, so this camel coat would be joining both outfits.

So, What’s your favorite? Have you ever tried Neutrogena Hydro Boost products?

Just look at that gorgeous face! Winter White suits you wonderfully! Adore both chic and classy outfits!
The plaid shirt is great but for date night I would do the camel turtleneck and white jeans! Lovely!
I don’t think you could go wrong with any of your outfits, cute and casual winter date night picks. That lip colour is lovely on you too! 🙂
Thank you for the link up!
Hope you are having a good week so far, and a lovely start to 2018!

You are so beautiful, Brooke! I’m coveting the plaid top. Wish we lived closer so we could shop together!
Love this! I’ve been wanting to try this line of makeup! I’ve used Neutrogena products for years but have yet to try the HydroBoost! You look lovely!

Brooke, you are so pretty! With and without makeup! I am loving your casual date night outfits, too. That plaid top with bell sleeves is so adorable! And I hear you about date nights…we don’t get many either with the two little ones at home. But we enjoy them when we do get them!

After the holiday rush and the excitement over the Georgia Bulldogs, I could really use a quiet date night! All of these ideas are great and I love your makeup look.

Aw thank you Virginia! I was so nervous making it! Haha!
Thank you Maureen!! It’s funny my closet didn’t have a single piece of camel before this season, and I was like why?! So I’ve been making a point to buy more in that color! Hope you have a great day!
Thank you Andrea!!
I think that’s a great choice too! Thank you katherine!
Thank you Mica! I was happy how the lip color turned out, it’s such a gamble buying lip color without a way to try the shade, no way to know what it will look like on!
Thank you so much Marta!!
We would have so much fun!! Thank you Carrie!
I really love it!! It’s so light and creamy!
So hard to find a sitter sometimes! But it makes the few you get extra special!
Sounds like the perfect thing after the rush! Thank you Blaire!
Love your looks! I haven’t used Neutrogena products in years, but this hydroboost sounds great!
Loving all these classic looks and this lip color is so pretty on you.

I’m always loving to try a new make up thanks for the info! Love your looks in this post too.
Peace!

Girl—you are the cutest on video!! You definitely need to do more of them, and help us old folks with how you sped it up and got such good lighting…I’m terrible at that!!
My friend who is an aesthetician says that hyluranic acid the the king of moisturizing, so maybe that’s what makes this product so good??

Love the camel and white together; a color combo I too often forget about. I really love how you styled your plaid shirt too!
With both sets of our parents still living in CT with us in FL, date nights are few and far between. I get super excited when we have time to go out just the 2 of us. You look flawless, I can’t believe I still have yet to try Neutrogena’s beauty products. Love their skincare, but need to hop on their beauty train too <3

I love all of these looks! The sleeves on your plaid shirt are gorgeous and your camel coat is a dream!

That lip color looks so pretty on you! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Your video is great! I use tinted moisturizer and I love that this has hylauronic acid in it. Definitely going to give it a try!
It’s really awesome, being a drug store brand, I think it’s just as good as some of the higher end brands I’ve tried!
Thanks Rachelle!
Thanks Cheryl! I love to try new things too!
Aw thank you Jodie! I was so nervous to do it! I just got lucky with that lighting, I have a really big window in my bedroom and sat in front of it! Then I edited in photoshop to speed it up! I think the hylauronic acid is what makes a big difference with this product, its really moisturizing!
You’re too sweet Amy, thank you!
Thank you Amy! That outfit is one I’ve never put together before, but since the occassion called for playing around with things in my closet, it was a fun one to try!
Oh girl I feel for you!! My mom lives right down the street, but she helps me during the week a lot, so I always feel so bad asking for date nights too!
Thank you Elise!
Thanks Samantha!
Thanks Biana!! So hard to find a good shade, this one was a winner!
Thanks so much Lana! I think you’ll love it!
You did great with the video! and I make funny faces while putting make up on too 🙂 Love that you did all the different looks for a causal date night 🙂 We haven’t done a date night in a while, but every night we sit down and watch a tv show together while holding hands, that totally counts right?
Love that camel coat gal. Beautiful look.

Your date night makeup look is gorgeous and I love each and every single one of these looks, especially all of your camel colored pieces!

The video is so cute. The foundation really covers up nicely. I don’t like full coverage so this looks like a really good option. I love the camel coat since it’s such a classic. The plaid button up is super cute and I love the greens and blues!

I like how those leopard shoes have a low block heel. Very wearable! And my favourite date night outfit is the winter white jeans with camel turtleneck!

Thank you Carrie!! I’ve been making it a point to buy more camel this year!

Very nice coat!

Big fan of Neutrogena here! It’s a really amazing brand. Anyway, love your outfit dear. Simple yet classic and chic. That coat is lovely. Nice cute touch with the leopard flats too.

I have not tried anything from Neutrogena in so long… I love the lipstick shade, it looks really, really good. Oh and the leopard print is just the right addition.
