I’m a mom of two boys under 6, which is another way of saying I don’t have time for ineffective or expensive products. I’ve spent years curating a collection of products that actually work for me (and my budget).
From make-up to facial cleansers to...
The perfect combination of medium coverage foundation and lightweight, non-cakey application. My everyday wear, always.
The Minimalist - MERIT Beauty
A budget-friendly, lightweight moisturizer that I use both morning and night!
Holy Hydration! Nourishing Night Cream - e.l.f. Cosmetics
A super simple way to define your cheekbones and add some color to your face. And the easiest applicator 😍
Bronze Balm - MERIT Beauty
A simple but powerful everyday cleanser that leaves my skin feeling clean but also lets my natural oils go to work.
Kale + Spinach Superfood Face Cleanser - Youth To The People
I use this to keep my clogged pores under control 😎
CLEAR Pore Normalizing Cleanser - Paula's Choice
My newest daily obsession for keeping my skin balanced.
SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray with Hypochlorous Acid
My favorite spray dry shampoo for every day (when I try to stretch in-between washed). The smell is my fave.
Beach Babe Dry Shampoo Texturizing $11.99 - Not Your Mother's
My favorite little bottle that lasts forever for me. I use this after a wash, before I run my comb through to add moisture and shine (and eliminate frizz).
It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner
Normally I default to cheap brushes that do the trick well enough, but this is actually a stellar brush for The Minimalist specifically. It blends perfects and elevates the wear of the foundation.
Brush No.1 - MERIT Beauty
The cheapest eyebrow gel I’ve found that has a great application and looks realistic.
Brow Styler™ Brow Mascara - Almay
Absolutely ESSENTIAL for the stubborn pimples that still pop up. If they don’t totally eliminate the issue, they always get me to a better spot.
Hero Cosmetics | Empowering Acne Prone Skin
I love this for a more in-depth dry shampoo option. Efficient and a small bottle lasts a while. An investment that stretches your dollars further than traditional spray dry shampoo.
Prêt-à-powder Dry Shampoo Powder
CHEAP and incredible effective. I use this with gauze pads to exfoliate as I use it.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner | The Ordinary
One of my best skincare tips—applying my toner with exfoliant pads. Super cheap and effective.
200pcs Facial Gauze Pads Non-Woven Cotton
My favorite exfoliant, period. Gentle enough to use daily (and not just on your face). Always leaves my skin softer and smoother.
Micro-Dermabrasion Paste for Exfoliating | Rodan + Fields®
