Lips & Eyes
Mascara, lip colors, blushes, and eye products I swear by. All long-lasting picks that work from morning school run to evening plans.
I put this on before bed and wake up with super soft lips, even in NYC winter.

The holy grail drugstore mascara – gives me dramatic, sky-high lashes without any clumping. I grab a new tube every few months and it never disappoints!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
The most universally flattering shade I own. This nude-pink goes from preschool pickup to date night in seconds – it's my desert island lipstick.

Literally a drop or two gives the most natural flush! I wear the shade Happy in Joy and it lasts all day – from the subway to school pickup. Best liquid blush I've ever tried.
Soft Pinch Liquid Blush | Long-Lasting Dewy & Matte Blushes
This is my constant carry-in-my-purse lip balm. It makes lips look plump and glossy with zero effort – I apply it at every red light on the way to school drop-off. The vanilla scent is heavenly!
Lip Butter Balm, Vanilla
The most iconic blush ever created! That peachy-pink with golden shimmer gives my complexion the most beautiful natural flush. I've been wearing Orgasm for years and will never stop recommending it.
