Face + Makeup 💄
As a busy mom, I need something that work and that are quick. I also try my best to be mindful of toxins and chemicals. I am not perfect and still figuring it out but definitely try to be mindful of it.
Perfect for a busy mom who needs to get out the door but wants a little coverage.
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40
I feel like having a little glow to my skin each day helps me feel a little more put together. What I love that they have clean ingredients, it is lotion that I don't need to wash off, and often their website has a bogo deal.
Self Tanner Body Lotion
In between my self tanner days, and when I am washing my face, I add a couple of drops to my moisturizer. Gives me the glow I need when I am running errands or trying to get out the door quickly.
e.l.f. SKIN Bronzing Drops Liquid Bronzer
I use to use Rodan + Fields Lash Boost but it was way too expensive. This is a great alternative with great results.
Babe Original Lash Serum - Fuller, Longer Lashes
I have been using this for over a month and can see the difference in my face and also think it is a nice little spa treatment morning and night as a busy mom.
Beauty by Earth Jade Gua Sha Face Sculpting Tool
This is a great everyday serum at an affordable price. I feel like it has worked a little better than the vitamin C serum I use.
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid
I have used Rodan + Fields before but feel like this drug store option works just as good for a fraction of the price.
CeraVe 2 Pack/16fl oz Each Hydrating Face Wash with Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin for Normal to Dry Skin
Making sure my face is protected from the sun while being a busy mom is a great go-to.
CeraVe Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen, AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin - SPF 30 - 3 fl oz
I love putting this on each night knowing it is working on my face while I sleep.
CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion, Night Cream for All Skin Types
A little goes a long way, such a great eye cream that does everything you need it to.
Bright Start Retinol Alternative Eye Cream
Nails 💅
I admittedly want to be like all the other girls, BUT I don't have the time or money to do it so I decided to figure it out for myself. This is something I love to do in bed while my husband watches sports.
I don't have time or to be honest the budget to go and get my nails done, but do love to see them painted. This pays for itself with two uses compared to salon prices. They use clean ingredients. There is a learning curve but they have WONDERFUL cust...
Gel Nail Polish Kit - Green Flash™ Starter Kits | Manucurist
A little goes a long way. It does everything you need for strong, healthy nails.
Organic Nail & Cuticle Oil with Jojoba & Vitamin E
I bought this cuticle remover at first so I could have the rest of the tools.
Modelones Cuticle Remover Kit w/ Trimmer & Oil
This is the cuticle remover I plan on getting once my Modelones runs out. It has great reviews on Amazon.
Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover Nail Treatment
Hair 💇♀️
This is a must as a busy mom. It gives me a little bit of curl and texture in ten minutes. It is quiet, and one of the better items for your hair when it comes to “heat.” I still use my Revlon Brush when I am in a pinch and need to be somewhere right...
Wavytalk 1.5in Heated Round Brush Pink
I used this while I was pregnant to get ahead of the hair loss, but now use it postpartum and everyday. When I know it is hair wash day, I put it in two hours before I shower and let it sit. You can also use it for a slick back look on hair wash days...
Kate Blanc Organic Castor Oil 2oz - Hair & Lashes
Good for the environment and good for you. A little goes a long way and works as a dry shampoo and volumizer.
Beauty by Earth Non Aerosol Dry Shampoo Powder
With winter coming up, this is great for helping your hair feel smooth and healthy in those dry weather months. I use it all year long. A little goes a long way, and I just put a pump or two in my damp hair right after I shower.
VERB Ghost Oil - Weightless Hair Oil, Frizz Control
I swear I have had the same bottle for nearly two years. One drop is all your need and leaves your hair silky smooth and protected when styling it. I only use it when I am using hot tools and use the VERB oil in my list after I shower.
