step by step skin care routine to start the day
Step 1: I always start with washing my face and this is my tried and true fav.
Cetaphil Daily Foaming Face Wash 20 oz
Step 2: I use this OR Just Ingredient's hyaluronic acid. Both are great! JI's feels a tiny bit smoother, but the Ordinary's is less than half the price.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
Step 2: I use this OR The Ordinary's hyaluronic acid. Both are great! JI's feels a tiny bit smoother, but the Ordinary's is less than half the price.
Hyaluronic Acid
Step 3: I was a little skeptical, but actually notice my skin looking brighter when I use this! It's a staple in my routine now.
Olay Vitamin C, Brightening Serum, 1.3 oz
Step 4: Affordable, available at literally every grocery store, comes in a large bottle that lasts for ever, AND dermatologist recommended. What's not to love?
Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Step 5: Current fav in a tinted sunscreen! I gave this one a shot after using Supergoop's glow screen (which I LOVE) for a few years. This option is very similar and much cheaper!
e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30

step by step skin care routine to end the day
Step 1: I've been using this same face wash since high school and it's still the best. I've tried a few different kinds through the years and always come back to this one!
Cetaphil Daily Foaming Face Wash 20 oz
Step 2: I use this OR Just Ingredient's hyaluronic acid. Love both, but the Ordinary's is at a cheaper price point. This makes me skin feel like glass.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
Step 2: I use this OR the Ordinary's hyaluronic acid. This one feels a little bit smoother, but is more expensive. Both work so well though!
Hyaluronic Acid
Step 3: Just added this to my skincare routine and I'm never going back! Now that I'm in my thirties I want to give my skin a little extra love. This is available everywhere and very affordable.
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Eye Cream
Step 4: Love this stuff. I started using retinol a few years ago and feel like my skin has been better in my thirties than it ever was in my teens and twenties. Costco also sells this in a value pack occasionally so I stock up there too!
Olay Retinol 24 MAX Night Cream, 1.7 Oz
Step 5: I use a moisturizer to seal everything in at the end. I don't think you have to spend a fortune on products to have good results!
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, 12oz
Step 6: The best lash serum! Very worth the price and being patient for 4-6 weeks to see the results. When I use this consistently my eyelashes actually touch my eyebrows!
Babe Original Lash Serum - Fuller, Longer Lashes
Step 7: Another Babe Lash product that works so so good. This helps fill in my brows naturally and painlessly.
Babe Original Eyebrow Serum - Thicker Brows
every day makeup routine
I don't love wearing a lot of makeup so this is my everyday, 3- product routine that feels like I'm not wearing anything!
I use 903 almost daily! It's lightweight, but still has enough coverage that I feel like I'm putting in a lot of effort to my makeup. It gives such a bright, sunkissed glow!
L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion 903 Medium
The only mascara I use!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
This is meant for your hair, but I mostly use it on my eyebrows. It keeps my brows in place without feeling stiff or sticky!
BestLand Hair Finishing Stick 2 Pcs - Flyaway Tamer
If I don't use Loreal's Lumi Glotion I use this! Both give me a little bit of color with very little effort.
e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30 Primer

all the skin care products in one place + a few extras
Favorite moisturizer. Lightweight, affordable, available literally everywhere (even travel sizes in most grocery stores).
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, 12oz
I've been using this for a few days and have already noticed a difference in our bright and soft the skin around my eyes look. Lightweight, affordable, LOVE.
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration Eye Cream
I've been using babe lash for years and it's incredible!! Worth every penny. I noticed lash growth within a few weeks and when I use it consistently my lashes will touch my eyebrows. The only downside is that you have to continue using it, but it's s...
Babe Original Lash Serum - Fuller, Longer Lashes
Another babe lash product that is very worth the price point. I have a scar in one of my eyebrows and this fills them in naturally. Anything that helps me wear less makeup + look more natural and I am on board!
Babe Original Eyebrow Serum - Castor Oil & Biotin
Perfect size to get started with babe lash. I love all the serums and have amazing results!
Babe Triple Threat Mini Set: Lash & Brow Serum 3-Pack
Giving birth 3 times in less than 4 years caused a lot of fluctuation in my body and my tummy shows it. I've been using this for a few weeks and definitely feel my skin tightening up already!
NIVEA Skin Firming & Toning Gel Cream Q10
Laser hair removal at home that actually works. Worth every penny.
Braun IPL Silk·Expert Pro 5 PL5347 Laser Hair Removal
This spray is humbling + helpful. It helps me see every little peach fuzz!
Hair Identifier Spray for Face Shaving & Care
At home pedicures have never been easier. Both my husband and I use this regularly and it's amazing at getting all the dead skin off our feet!
Colossal Pedicure Rasp Foot File, Stainless Steel
makeup
all the products in my makeup bag
If you're able to splurge a little this stuff is incredible. I used this almost every day (at least 5-6x per week) and the bottle lasted for over 7 months so a lot goes a long way!
Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 Sunrise 1.7oz
My favorite mascara of all times. I have tried so many other types and this is by far the best & it's at an amazing price point. I love that I can get it anywhere too!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
I'm all about easy makeup and this is a great option for days that I want to dress up a little more! I hate the feeling of glosses and lip stick. I put this on and then wipe it off after a minute or two and the stain lasts all day long!
Wonderskin Wonder Blading Lip Stain Peel Off
If I had to pick a top 3 product this would be one of them! Most days I just wear this and no other face makeup. It's looks so good and glowy and comes in different color options!
L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion 903 Medium
This tinted sunscreen is a great option for a lake or pool day! It's a little bit thicker so I wouldn't use it for daily makeup, but love it when I'm chasing babies outside all day!
e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint SPF 50, Fair Cool
I don't often use highlighter, but really like this one when I want to dress up a little more.
e.l.f. Halo Glow Highlight Beauty Wand
It's probably obvious that I'm an Elf fan lol. Love a good eyebrow pencil!
e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil Dual-Sided Taupe
Another top 3 beauty product for me! I use this to give my eyebrows a little bit of structure, slick back fly aways from postpartum hair loss, and for styling my girl's hair.
BestLand 2 Pcs Hair Finishing Stick Flyaway Tamer
2N1 Desert Beige- Love love love this foundation. It's very lightweight, buildable, easy to blend, and is an SPF. It's one of my pricier makeup additions, but so worth it. I use this for more formal occasions or if my skin needs a little more coverag...
Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue SPF 45
