Make Up Finds for the Long Haul
These are all my makeup tries as a mom trying to find what works after not doing makeup for some years. These are ones I have sampled and ended up buying full size or have bought and kept.
This is what I use every day under my eyes and even on eyelids to hide dark, tired tones. It is effective, and with the correct setting powder, it does not crease under the eyes. I do enjoy the coverage this provides over concealer.
Light-Medium CC Undereye Corrector - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
I like to use this on very red pimples or to contour/highlight. I like that it is super coverage, but this one is a little thicker.
Porcelain Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer - Too Faced | Ulta Beauty
I like to use this over my under eye corrector to provide a slightly shimmery, more awake feel around the eye. It looks good both alone and layered.
Queen Phyllis Talc-Free Loose Mineral Eyeshadow - bareMinerals | Ulta Beauty
This is the setting powder I use under and on my eyes with the under eye corrector. I do not always use the spray, and it still holds all day and night. Prevents creasing and keeps hold. Would buy again.
Translucent Setting Superstars Powder & Spray Duo - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
I love to keep these in my vanity. They are perfect to use with setting powder. They also work great for blending. I love how small they are and the slide to keep it on your finger.
Real Techniques Mini Miracle Powder Puff Trio: Makeup Sponges & Applicators, Polyurethane, Contouring & Concealing
This mascara is light and does provide length. I like the brush but like to still wipe some off the brush for light coats. I like that it is buildable and works well with other mascaras to build the length to the fullest.
Blackest Black Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
The brush is my favorite part of this mascara as it makes it easier to hit lashes that are missed in big swipes. I like that it is buildable with other mascara for ultimate length.
L'Oreal Paris Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara - 925 Waterproof Black - 0.27 fl oz
This makes my lashes significantly longer. It does sometimes leave a like darkened line where I apply it? But it easily covers with concealer. I like to use this and get a lash lift. It saves me tons of time to achieve a much fuller longer lash look ...
0.07 oz GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum - Grande Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
An eyelash separator is a must for the women who love a good lash look. It is a necessity in separating lashes with multiple coats of mascara. Without one of these, I dread doing my mascara.
Eyelash Separator Tool - ULTA Beauty Collection | Ulta Beauty
This is the 2nd brand of foam self tanner I have tried. I did like it enough to use it more than once. I like to use this when I am not able to tan in a tanning bed or need a quick tan. I like that the foam is easy to apply with a mit and can be laye...
B.Tan Love at First Tan Self Tan Mousse, 6.7 fl oz
This is what I use when my face or neck needs some color. It is easy to spritz on and let dry. I also use this when I use the b Tan foam body self tanner. It is buildable, but beware if your skin is dry. Be sure to be exfoliated and moisturized befor...
b.tan Gimme The Glow Down-Facial Tan Mist - 6.7 fl oz
I love the vanilla version of this mask. I have used two of the variations. It works wonders on dry, chapped lips. It is a small size perfect for the purse or vanity.
Lip Sleeping Mask - Vanilla - LANEIGE | Sephora
This one is an effective alternative to the Laniege sleep mask. I often like to use this one when busy and on the go just in case it gets lost. I like the subtle pink tone of this one.
Vaseline Lip Therapy Mini Lip Balm - Rosy - Travel Size - 0.25oz
This cleanser has worked well and has not caused breakouts on my skin. I like the texture of it, and it is easy to rub in and wash off.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser, 13.52 fl oz - Walmart.com
I recently added this into my moisturizing step when washing my face at night and have noticed a subtle but appreciated difference in my fine lines.
The Retinol 0.1 Cream with Super Vitamin E & Panthenol - COSRX | Ulta Beauty
I like this moisturizer because it pairs well with other brands' products like cleansers and night creams. It never causes additional breakouts and provides sufficient moisture.
Cetaphil Hydrating Oil-Free Face Lotion Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid - 3 fl oz: Hypoallergenic, For Normal, Oily, Combination, Sensitive, Mature
Bought this to improve my jawline. After kids, it is not as defined. Will update review after continued use, but so far, I will continue using and am happy with the daily results so far. Provides a more awake look.
Lymphatic Contour Face Brush, Manual Massager
Perfumes with Scents to Love
All the perfumes in this list are ones that I sampled from the Christmas mini sets. I actually prefer the minis sold around the holidays to keep in my purse thru the year. These are ones I loved the scent notes on and bought more of.
I like the vanilla tones in her perfume. I love getting the travel sizes because they are lightweight and take up much less space in smaller purses.
Eilish 3 Piece Gift Set - Billie Eilish | Ulta Beauty
I love the slim travel sprays for my side bags when I don't have a large purse. They even fit in coat pockets to just readily have on the go. This one is more floral scented but clean.
0.34 oz Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum - Viktor&Rolf | Ulta Beauty
This has scent notes of camellia, velvet woods, and spicy amber. This was one of my go tos, and I actually used these from both my mini sets before changing to a different scent. I missed it so much, I had to get the full size. I also think of it as ...
3.4 oz L'Originale Eau de Parfum - Moroccanoil | Ulta Beauty
This one i favored during winter and scarf season. It is a deeper scent. It has scent notes of dark red berries, jasmine, vanilla, and amber. It is sensual and light but warm at the same time.
3.3 oz Her Elixir de Parfum - Burberry | Ulta Beauty
Out of all variations of the Chloe perfumes, this one is my go-to favorite. I love the overload of vanilla that this one leaves.
Chloé L'Eau de Parfum Lumineuse with Jasmine and Vanilla - Chloé | Sephora
This is the only scented lotion I continually purchase from Victoria's secret. I like the scents and like that it pairs well with most perfumes.
