Tried and true beauty recs!
My favs as a busy working and homeschooling mama of 3!
THIS!! If you don’t have it in the budget to get your eyelashes done like me buy this! It truly does make your lashes longer. My last postpartum was really hard on my body, eyelashes included. This gave me a confidence boost and allowed me to get a t...
M·A·CStack Legit Lift Lash Primer | Mascara Primer - MAC Cosmetics
The only mascara I’ve used in the last 15 years in Very Black. It has always been consistent and gives my lashes the boost they need. I personally don’t use waterproof as I feel it pulls my lashes out but there is an option for that.
Lash Blast | COVERGIRL®
So many gorgeous colors in one palette! I have green eyes so purples and golds are my jam. Your next eyeshadow set for a night out on the town!
Perfect 10 Eyeshadow Palette | e.l.f. Cosmetics
WARM SOUL! I have been buying this mineral blush for the last 15+ years and it has never let me down. It’s so smooth and gives off just enough shimmer.
Mineralize Blush: Buildable Powder Blush | MAC Cosmetics
I live in Hawaii which means crazy humidity. This also means wearing a full face of makeup isn’t always realistic. This gives me enough coverage to cover blemishes or to get that makeup look without the heaviness. Super lightweight, smooth, and doesn...
Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Full Coverage Concealer - Lancôme
This is one of the primers I use. It’s reliable and makes my skin super soft. It says it’s matte but I find it to have a more glowy finish on my skin (might just be me sweating from humidity lol). Definitely a SMOOTH finish!
Poreless Face Primer- Large - e.l.f. Cosmetics
This is my other go to primer. It definitely is power grip! When I use it my makeup does not budge and gives off an even, flawless finish!
e.l.f. Power Grip Matte Primer, Long-Lasting
Ok. This is a budget blower. BUT if you wait for Black Friday there are AMAZING deals. I can use this and nothing else. It’s a wonder serum. If you feel like splurging, do it on this!
I have FINE hair. Between that and the humidity my hair is greasy the day after washing. This works great and even got me through FOUR whole days of no washing. Definitely jumping for this plumping
Not Your Mother's Plump for Joy Jumbo Dry Shampoo
Cleansers and moisturizers
Super gentle even for sensitive and dry skin like mine!
e.l.f.'s Best Facial Cleansers and Face Wash
Light, hydrating, and budget friendly! I went through a lot of moisturizers to find this. My skin is very dry and this keeps it smooth yet not oily.
Holy Hydration! Daily Hydration Face Moisturizer - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Wake up with skin like butter! Put this on after using elf daily cleanser and catch some zzz’s. Makes my skin so soft I love it
Holy Hydration! Nourishing Night Cream - e.l.f. Cosmetics
I have every single one of the items in the picture. When I follow a routine and use this skincare line there is a noticeable difference in my facial skin. A lot of girls claim it erases wrinkles…I don’t think it erases fine lines BUT definitely redu...
