items I’m a stay at home mom of 4 kids. I’m not here to recommend products that are expensive or niche. I’m here to share how I get the most bang for my buck without sacrificing quality. I’ve been searching for the most affordable yet amazing products sinc...
This is my favorite lip balm! It’s the only one that heals cracked lips in both summer and winter.
eos Body Care, Shave & Lip Balm Must-Haves
This product reduces the bags under my eyes and makes it look like I’m well rested even after a rough night
gold under eye patches for dark circles by grace & stella
This is my go to daily face product! I’m not a fan of legitimate foundation/makeup on a regular basis (and as a stay at home mom it’s just not necessary anyway). But I definitely want to look put together and conceal basic blemishes and “tired lookin...
L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Glow
Again, my “beauty” routine is very, very basic (I’m talking 3-4 total products on the daily), but this is one of them! A little goes a long way in adding that touch of color.
Cheekers Blush
I’m pale with blonde hair and green eyes. I rarely use legit makeup but if I need my eyes to pop (date night, etc) this eye liner is a must!! I actually use it to line my bottom eyelid and above top lid to really make my eyes stand out.
I’ve learned...
Maybelline Define-A-Line Mechanical Eyeliner with Built-in Sharpener, Brownish Black - Walmart.com
I’m a “skip the shaving cream” gal and these do the trick to making sure my skin is hydrated and I don’t nick myself when I shave!
Blade Refills
Love this beef organ supplement! I originally used Primal Queen but this has been just as (or more!) effective for me at a much better price!!
Beef Organ Supplement for Women - 90 Days
Love this subtle pink color and the hydrating coverage! And the price can’t be beat!!
e.l.f. Squeeze Me Lip Balm, Strawberry, 0.21oz - Walmart.com
As a mid-30s female on a budget, I found this face wash it be the ultimate win! There are some that cost a ton… can’t afford those! And some that are inexpensive but leave my face feeling greasy or dried out. This one is actually effective AND afford...
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Foaming Cleanser 300ml
This is literally the cheapest Epson salt out there!!! And if you do a “subscribe and save” they’re practically giving it away!
My kids love feeling pampered in a bath, but bubbles get costly! This eliminates that. I also use it on the regular to soa...
Amazon Basics Epsom Salt Soak, Unscented, 3lb
I have worst, driest hands ever. I blame all the dish-doing and house-cleaning (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!)
When hydrating hand cream isn’t enough, this is what I use. I personally only use one glove at a time and switch from one hand to...
Epielle Hand Mask 6 Pairs, Coconut Oil & Milk
If you have long or long-ish hair (or kids with hair) this product is a must!! I use it to myself when I didn’t shower and need to get through knots. My oldest boy has a surfer long-ish cut but is a boy so hygiene is hit or miss… spraying this in fix...
Infusium Repair & Replenish Leave-in Treatment Spray for All Hair Types, with Niacinamide, Argan Oil & Ceramides, 13 fl oz
If you have tanned/“deep medium” skin this is my absolute favorite foundation! It doesn’t feel heavy, greasy, or thick. I personally am almost always a light skin tone and for whatever reason the “fair skin” version is no longer available, but gotta ...
Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup Medium/Deep 0.7oz
I have not yet used this. I just set up a monthly subscription thing with Amazon (it was $8.75 with the current promo coupon if you do subscribe and save). I’m looking for something to match my pale skin tone, blend well, not look “super made up” but...
Almay Truly Lasting Liquid Foundation 140 Buff
This is NOT cheap. However, it’s the ONLY sunscreen that works for my 8YO (I’ve tried everything). It all feels SO GOOD (like the lightest moisturizer) when it goes on. I do an Amazon subscribe and save and get one of these at the beginning of summer...
Supergoop! Unseen SPF 50 Clear Face Sunscreen
Did you know Meyers made spray hand sanitizer???? Me either until I got one as a teacher appreciation gift bag item last school year. And now I’m obsessed! I love that it’s a multipack (I have 4 kids so that’s LOTS of teachers and coaches to get gift...
