As a busy millennial mom, I don’t have time for a 20-step beauty routine, so these are my go-to makeup and skincare products I actually use every day. Simple, effective, and mom-life approved!

Jawline breakouts that show up like clockwork every month, cystic bumps that laugh at benzoyl peroxide, and a medicine cabinet full of products that promised results and delivered nothing. If you've been rotating through drugstore washes wondering what actually works for hormonal acne, this is everything I landed on after two frustrating years of trial and error. Sharing it now because most of these go on sale around seasonal transitions and a few sell out fast.

Lip products I reach for on a daily basis. I keep these with me either in my purse or makeup bag. Or they live on my vanity.

Here’s a list of my current favorite buys that help me achieve elevated makeup looks without totally breaking the bank!

If your man is anything like mine, skincare is not his forte. One year, I got him a nice toiletry bag and filled it with skincare and self-care staples, along with easy-to-follow instructions on what to use and when. He still talks about how great that gift was to this day! I honestly think it’s a good gift for any man in your life who doesn’t know exactly where to start with self-care.

Little gifts under $30 I actually love giving — beauty minis and self-care treats for women, moms, hostesses and teens, plus sweet ornaments, cozy touches and fun small surprises that make a stocking feel thoughtful, not filler.

But sometimes I just want to feel a little extra confident or professional at work so here are my main make up products I use for those days.

(I don’t recommend) I also never wore sunscreen which I also do not recommend! No matter the age, always wear sunscreen! In my mid-late 20’s I realized I needed to start taking care of my skin NOW!
