Favorite Beauty Finds

Happy Mommy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I love learning about new products from my fabulous friends and fave bloggers! To share the love, I’m spilling my purse and sharing some of my favorite beauty finds.

Having 2 young kiddos, our sweet dogs, and a million activities to shuffle the family to at any given time – I am usually pretty tired. My uniform usually includes a messy bun or baseball cap, yoga pants, and a zip up sweatshirt. In my rush to get out the door on time, I have perfected my “slap dash mommy makeup” regimen.  These are the must have items I use on a daily basis (unless I’m really super duper late – then it’s mascara and coffee for the win). I hope you give these products a try – I know you’ll love them!

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil – I am NOT a brow expert – and this brow pencil has saved me! I’ve tried several over the years and this is by far my favorite! There’s 2 ends to make it easy. Use the wide part of the tip to shape and fill, and use the pointed edge to define the outer end of your brows. Blend with the brush on the other end for full, natural-looking brows.

Benefit Browvo Conditioning Eyebrow Primer – Due to my brow needs, I use the conditioning eyebrow primer. It helps make my brows healthier and fuller. I use this at night before bed, although you can also use it as a primer to extend and enhance your other brow products – or use it alone to condition and smooth your brows. For $10 more than this single item costs, you can get an entire Benefit Defined & Refined Brows Kit – totally worth it – especially if like a fantastic deal and want to try some new products (that you’ll love)!

bareMinerals Eyecolor in Celestine – This is my favorite eye color right now. It has enough shimmer to make me feel polished, but is still neutral enough to sport when I’m running errands. It is very hard for me to explain how lovely this eye color is. It looks simple and not very exciting – until you try it on! When you see on on your skin – you will understand the color. I have hazel eyes and I truly think this color would work with brown, blue or green. It is sophisticated and understated – and it’s on major SALE right now!

Almay Liquid Eyeliner – I am a huge eyeliner snob and totally fine admitting it! I get a lot of questions about how I do my eyeliner – so I’m sharing my fave liner product! I’ve tried many many brands that all promise to do a perfect job. I always go back to Almay liquid liner. It has the perfect tip that allows me to be precise every time. Personally, I like it best when the tip has been broken in a bit (after about a week or so), making it more flexible and easy to handle. I can do a heavier line for a night on the town, or a light line for running around with my kids. I’m obsessed with this eyeliner and have learned not to stray. Not to mention it’s under $8 which is a bargain for perfect liquid liner! If interested in a tutorial – please comment and I’ll put it on my list of future posts! 🙂

Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzing Powder, Size 0.28 oz – Bronze – Ok…I love bronzing powder! San Francisco tends to have a lot of fog (arg), and even when I’m in the sun, I use a lot of sunscreen (yay for being good to our skin)! I used to think all bronzers were created equal. That is NOT the case. Some are too orange, some are too pink, others have way too much sparkle (no I don’t want to look 14 decked out in glitter). That being said – Hoola is my FAVE bronzing powder ever! They have absolutely nailed the color. It’s sun-kissed perfection! Try it – I know you will love it!

As for other things in my bag that I ALWAYS have on hand…

Lip moisturizer – Yes I am a lip gloss lover, but I think a lip moisturizer that also has shine is a big win, especially when you’re on the go! I really like Blistex Silk & Shine because it has a nice light flavor and leaves my lips feeling super soft. I can also kiss my kids without leaving sticky color spots all over their cute little cheeks! Ha!

Sunglasses – These Junior Women’s Bp. 52Mm Oversize Mirrored Sunglasses – have been my go to’s as of late – and I love them! They are only $12 and I’m obsessed! You can find some seriously cute sunnies (and other amazing sale items) right now for under $100 by clicking here! FREE Shipping. FREE Returns.

Happy shopping and I hope this helps you find some new fave items for your own bag!
