The low effort routine that still looks put together. A few good hair products and multi use makeup that takes five minutes before we're out the door.
This is what fixed my ends after a summer of heat tools. A little goes a long way and my hair feels so much softer after just one use.
K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
I own like five of these at this point. They hold thick hair without leaving a dent and the claw doesn't slip out halfway through the day.
Teleties Large Claw Clip
The peptide one is my go to for under lip gloss or on its own. It's not sticky and it actually makes my lips look fuller by the end of the day.
Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment
One swipe on the cheeks and I look like I slept well even when I didn't. Blends with just your fingers and doesn't look cakey by the afternoon.
Merit Beauty Flush Balm
Two swipes and my brows look like brows again instead of whatever the mom life did to them. Holds all day without feeling stiff or flaky.
Glossier Boy Brow
I keep one of these in every bag, every coat pocket, every car cup holder. It's tinted just enough to look like you tried without actually trying.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
Switched my pillowcases to silk and my hair tangles so much less overnight. Also feels a little fancy which I need some days.
Roseward Silk Pillowcase
This gets through wet toddler hair and my own hair without any yanking or tears. We keep one in the shower and one in the diaper bag.
Wet Brush Original Detangler
On the days I don't have time to wash my hair, this buys me one more day and nobody can tell. Spray it at the roots and brush it through.
Batiste Dry Shampoo
One stick for cheeks and lips means my makeup bag actually fits in my purse now. Warms up on your skin and looks like you have a little color on your own.
Milani Supercharged Cheek and Lip Multistick
This is my once a week treatment before I wash my hair. It repairs whatever damage the heat tools and dry shampoo build up during the week.
Olaplex No 3 Hair Perfector
I dump my whole makeup routine into this and it still zips shut. Also doubles as my just in case bag when we're out with the kids.
Baggu Small Nylon Pouch
This is the last step that keeps everything else from sliding off by lunchtime. It sets without that powdery cakey look, just a soft finish.
