Amazing toner that nearly doubles as my daily moisturizer! I have both rosacea and eczema, so using products that are calming and hydrating are super important. I’ve gone through multiple refills and love that their refill model eliminates packaging ...
LANEIGE Cream Skin Refillable Milky Toner with Ceramides and Peptides
I use this as a multipurpose tool: underarms to combat postpartum body odor and skin darkening, on my thighs and upper arms to remove ketosis pelaris (“chicken skin”), on my face for gentle exfoliation, and on my scalp before showers for a deeper cla...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution - The Ordinary
Moisturizing with this in the morning and at night saved me from the worst of the stretch marks! I know that I’m genetically prone to stretch marks because I already have them from just standard growth spurts! I credit this to the lack of tons of tig...
L'Occitane Smoothing and Firming Almond Supple Skin Body Oil
This is the best oil cleanser that I have ever tried! I love so many of Dieux’s products—they’re all very research-backed and well formulated—but they knocked it out of the park with this one. This takes off, even the stickiest makeup quickly and doe...
Dieux Ethereal Instant Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil
As a mama with rosacea, this has been phenomenal for my skin! It’s gotten rid of a lot of the redness that tends to linger in my cheeks and forehead. With the exception of one stubborn broken capillary, my facial redness has significantly abated sinc...
Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster for Redness Relief
This is gonna seem ridiculous, but this is a great $4 buy! These are much larger and sturdier than any of the cotton pads that you could grab from the grocery store, but also far more economical than a lot of the other cotton pads offered up by Sepho...
SEPHORA COLLECTION Organic Cotton Pads
Makeup
I love using this in the morning with a brush, or simply with my fingers, to cover up any redness quickly and effectively! It’s a bit of a 3-in-1 concealer, foundation & powder with a blurring soft finish so I don’t have to work as hard with the ...
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder
I swear by this contour stick! I have absolutely no time to be using finicky make up products that take a long time to blend properly. Westman Atelier makes by far the best contour stick that I’ve ever used! It’s perfectly creamy and the Biscuit shad...
Face Trace Contour Stick - Westman Atelier
I have also been using this blush for a long time! I started out with Petal but recently switched to Bichette after having my colors palette done. Again, perfectly smooth, creamy texture that blends seamlessly with minimal time and effort! Exactly wh...
Baby Cheeks Blush Stick - Westman Atelier
This is the best non-flaking, smudge proof brown mascara that I have found! I prefer brown mascara for the autumn and on my eyes as it creates a softer, more forgiving look! This one has been perfect in every way!
Lash Idôle Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara
Hair Care
I use dry shampoo 3 out of every 4 days to extend the lifespan of my hair and make mornings faster & easier! This keeps my hair from looking or feeling gross and oily so effectively that I’ve now bought many a bottle—I used to be a grocery store ...
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo
I use this as a multipurpose tool: underarms to combat postpartum body odor and skin darkening, on my thighs and upper arms to remove ketosis pelaris (“chicken skin”), on my face for gentle exfoliation, and on my scalp before showers for a deeper cla...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution - The Ordinary
My hair has become a lot more oily postpartum and this helps significantly with extending the life of my hairstyles! While not an aerosol, this pump is powerful and sends the right amount of product targeted to your roots—right where I need it! There...

These hair clips are just utterly gorgeous and so well-made! Doing my hair has become somewhat of an extravagance in motherhood, where having my hands free for any duration of time is so limited! These clips make me feel like even just throwing my ha...
Elegant Italian Claw Clips
These lay flat claw clips are just so practical for the day to day as a mom! If I want my hair up & away when I’m hanging around at home or running errands, this is what I grab. They’re simple, still cute, but allow me to lay down with my baby or...
