Fast, Easy, and Long Lasting Eye Makeup!
Wear this every day!! This is always step 2 to the primer, but if you're in a rush it can be worn by itself.
tartelette™ tubing mascara
I cannot believe how much of a difference this primer makes for the length, longevity, and overall power of the tubing mascara. It looks like I got white lash extensions at first, but is quickly covered by the black tubing mascara. I loooooove this s...
tartelette™ tubing lash primer
Pro Tip: Apply this one eye at a time, and blend with a shadow brush or your finger. I like to apply on bottom lash line and my top lid.
L'Oreal Paris Le Shadow Stick Eyeshadow
Don’t judge me, but I only use this on the bottom of my eyebrows to define the shape a bit (because it expensive and I conserve it) and then do the rest of my brow with some powder
Brow Pencil
I don’t want 42 shades I’ll never touch. Give me something easy, buildable, and wearable from school drop-off to date night. This palette blends like a dream and doesn’t overwhelm me when my brain is already doing the most.
Morphe 9T Neutral Territory Eye Palette
My go-to brow pencil when I want definition but not blocky brows. The tip is super skinny, so you can do those tiny hair-like strokes, and the spoolie blends everything out perfectly. Easy, quick, and makes me look more awake than I actually am.

Skincare/Face Makeup
I have dry/combination skin. Please keep in mind that I do not use many matte products and that I aim for lots of hydration.
I was extremely lucky and found this on sale. I try to use a brush to apply it so that I have control over how much I apply. The blush is very pigmented and melts beautifully. I typically do a powder blush first and then my ogee blush on top.
Contour Collections
I like all of these, but currently I’m using the color Sunset under my foundation to give that glowing skin look. In my thirties I want people to say I have great skin 😂
Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 - Tinted Sunscreen & Primer
I use the light/medium shade and apply with a beauty blender. This is not a full coverage foundation but it has enough pigment that I don’t feel like I need more coverage. I tap a little concealer here and there, but this perfectly blurs my pores and...
BB blur tinted moisturizer SPF 30
Lips
This is usually a tinted lip balm or just a lip balm on those busy mornings!!
This is a bedside table, purse, and every where I go staple! I love lip balms but I want them fat and moisturizing! Star Balm is fat without being a giant. It fits in my purse nicely. I love the coconut scent, and they have other fragrances if coconu...
star balm coconut blast
Hey friend — this lip balm is my OG lip balm. The Sol de Janeiro lip butter not only smells like a tropical vacation, it actually works. It keeps my lips soft, hydrated, and smooth without feeling sticky (which is a big deal for moms who are constant...
Brazilian Kiss Cupuaçu Lip Butter - Hydrating
This is an easy way to quickly add some color to your lips for the morning
Ulta Beauty Brand Lip Stain
I don't reapply lipstick, I use tinted lip balms and tinted stains and if it wears off, it wears off. I aint got the time! So having these in every purse helps me feel put together.

Fragrances
I’m totally into this mini fragrance set—because let’s be real, purses and weekend bags always feel like they need a scent update. Each little bottle in this set is TSA-friendly (so perfect for travel or tossing into your bag) and the layering option...
Mist & Mingle Cheirosa Mini Fragrance Gift Set - Sol de Janeiro | Ulta Beauty
I love a good gift set because they stretch your budget—and this Burberry mini duo nails that. Two mini fragrances in one set = less commitment needed (perfect when you’re a busy mom juggling work, family, and “me time”). The scents feel grown-up and...
Burberry 2-Piece Mini Perfume Gift Set - Burberry | Ulta Beauty
Nurses have literally chased me down in the parking lot begging me to tell them what perfume I was wearing! Apparently, I left the room and the scent lingered.
