Super obsessed with this mascara. It lengthens my lashes and is super easy to remove because it comes off in tubes.
tartelette™ tubing mascara
Â
This is the best matte liquid lipstick. It does NOT budge.
Super Stay Matte Ink® Liquid Lipstick
Â
On mornings when I don’t have time (aka every morning), this is my lifesaver. It evens out my skin tone in one step so I look awake and put together without layering on a bunch of products.
CC+ Cream Full-Coverage Foundation with SPF 50+
Â
This little tube makes me look instantly alive. I swipe it on my cheeks (and sometimes lips) before school drop-off — it takes two seconds and makes me look like I actually slept.
Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand
Â
For those under-eye circles after late nights (thanks, mom life), this is my quick fix. It brightens me up fast and makes me look way more awake than I actually feel.
Instant Age Rewind® Eraser Multi-Use Concealer
Â
This is my insurance policy. I can throw on makeup in five minutes, spray this, and it actually stays through errands, work, and chasing Jackson around.
Dewy Setting Spray for Makeup
Â
This one lives in my makeup bag for a reason. In those “did I even brush my brows?” moments, a few quick strokes with this pencil and a sweep with the spoolie make me look more polished — even if my hair’s in a messy bun. It’s easy, affordable, and g...
Best Eyebrow Pencil - Instant Lift Brow Pencil
Â
These live in my bag for when I need a quick refresh. One sheet and the shine is gone — no powder, no fuss.
Oil Absorbing Sheets & Blotting Paper
Â
For the nights when I just can’t — these save me. I keep a pack in my car and one on my nightstand so I never go to bed with a full face on.
Makeup Remover Cleansing Wipes- 25 ct
Â
This is my “set-it-and-forget-it” brow step. After filling in my brows, I swipe this gel through and it locks everything in place all day (no stray hairs, no redoing). It’s a no-fuss way to look polished—even when life’s messy.
Brow Lift - Clear Eyebrow Gel
Â
On days when a bold lip feels like too much, I reach for this. It’s like a tinted balm that adds just enough color to look pulled together, while keeping my lips soft and hydrated. I can swipe it on in the car or at drop-off without even looking in a...
Hydrating Core Lip Shine
Â
This is my “instant glow” hack. A couple swipes and I look way more awake and put together, even if I barely slept. I wear it alone on busy mornings or under foundation when I actually have time.
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
Â
When I need my eyes to pop without a ton of effort, this mascara does it. Two coats and my lashes look fuller and longer — no curling iron needed.
For low-key days, this gloss is my best friend. It’s shiny, comfy, and comes in so many shades. I can throw it on in the car and it always makes me feel a little more pulled together.
Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss | NYX Professional Makeup
Â
I reach for this when I want a flush that looks like skin, not cake. A few taps on my cheeks and I’m glowing (not sparkly), and it doesn’t take over my whole makeup routine. Perfect for quick days when I want “cute but real.”
