THE HEAT SHIELD THAT SPARES MY HAIR
Hairitage Play It Cool Heat Protectant Spray is one of the products I reach for any time I’m using heat on my hair. It helps keep my hair protected when I’m constantly on the go!
MY SIMPLE EYEBROW SOLUTION
As a girl with very fair eyebrows, a good eyebrow pencil is an absolute must. Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil has been my go-to for years, and makes filling in my brows quick and easy without being overly done.
THE SERUM THAT WON’T WEIGH YOUR HAIR DOWN
Onesta Luma Oil Serum gives my hair a polished, finished look without making it feel like I’ve loaded it down with product.
THE SKIN ESSENTIAL I USE DAILY
As a mom of three, two of whom are twins, I found that Bio-Oil Skincare Oil was a lifesaver throughout my pregnancies for my changing skin. It’s now a part of my daily routine and is the perfect texture without feeling like I have slathered oil everywhere.
A REFRESHING SPRITZ FOR YOUR FACE
Feeling refreshed is a huge priority for me, and the Glow Recipe Watermelon Ultra Fine Face Mist does exactly that. I spritz it on first thing in the morning, randomly throughout my makeup routines, and anytime I’m feeling like I need a little boost.
THE BLUSH THAT PULLS MY LOOK TOGETHER
MAC Blush in the shade Desert Rose is one of those makeup-kit staples that I can always count on. A little bit of blush instantly makes me feel pulled together, even when I know I’m not.
THE MOISTURIZER MY SKIN HAS BEEN CRAVING
The NOTO Moisture Riser Cream hasn’t been in my rotation for long, but I haven’t looked back since adding it! It is the creamiest, most hydrating moisturizer that my skin has always been looking for.
FOUNDATION YOU CAN COUNT ON
When I want something a little more elevated and am doing a full face of makeup that needs to last all day, the Hourglass Foundation Stick is the key. I was introduced to this product for my own wedding’s makeup look and have used it ever since.
