As someone who is terrible about sticking to routines and has always been very simple when it comes to makeup and skin care, here is my very basic list of daily products, because I decided I should probably start taking better care of my skin now that I'm in my 30s. 😅
Started this back in 2024 and it has gone through a rotation with a few things switched around here and there. This is pretty definitive as of right now and is listed in the order I use it in but is subject to change. I'm open to any and all suggestions/recommendations anyone may have!
I love to smell good, feel good, and look good. Here's the products that always do the trick for me. No gate keeping for my Benable peeps! I have listed the fancy must have cult classics to fun budget friendly finds - some of them may even surprise you 💋💋💋
The “everything shower” is the shower where you finally deal with… everything. Hair mask. Shaving. Exfoliating. Deep conditioning. Body scrub. Maybe a foot file if you’re feeling particularly ambitious. It’s the longer shower where you use all the products that don’t fit into the normal five-minute morning routine. Think of it as personal reset, where you exfoliate, condition, moisturize, and generally restore order to the situation. Because sometimes the difference between “barely holding it together” and “surprisingly put together” is about forty minutes and a good conditioner.
As a mom of two that LOVES makeup but doesn’t always have time for a full face this is a list of all the makeup products I use or have heard of to create a flawless everyday makeup lookup for my busy mamas! You don’t have to use all of these products, but if you choose to I want to make sure I have you covered with my favorites!
I’m not here for complicated routines or $50 shampoos. These are simple, affordable products that made a real difference — even when I barely had the energy to brush my hair. Low effort, low cost, and no gatekeeping — just things that helped my hair feel a little less stressed (like me, honestly).
Once I turned 40 my hair began thinning FAST. THESE TOOLS/products are the only thing that helped me and 3 months in I have NOTICEABLE new hair growth.
This my big shower every week that I set aside time to really take care of myself. I always shower everyday but this routine is more in depth with products I love.
These eye products are my absolute favorites because they bring the perfect mix of luxury, pigment, and performance. Each shade delivers intense color payoff with minimal effort, blending like a dream and staying flawless all day. Whether I’m going for a soft romantic shimmer or a bold, smoky eye, these formulas never let me down. The textures—silky mattes, dazzling metallics, and buttery shimmers—add that touch of glam I love, making every look feel elevated and effortless. They’re not just eyeshadows—they’re confidence in a compact🩷!
