Monday Must Have

Just wanted to stop in a share something I've been loving!!! 

Cleansing water or micellar water- my new favorite skin care product and apparently a lot of others too. Just dab some on a cotton square and wipe, wipe, wipe. 

No washing with soap til its squeaky clean. 

I still wash with my gentle cleanser here and there but this has cut down on my routine quit a bit. Ive also noticed my skin is way happier and hydrated. There are a ton of brands out there but this one I snagged a my home away from home (here) for a nice price.

What is one of your new favorite products?

Pampering

We are coming out of a long weekend and start to a week of sickies. 

Both littles have been sick with fevers and throw ups, so sad to see them sick and helpless. It's been days of tears, whining, lots of hand washing, but also lots of cuddles. 

I don't know about you guys but when I stay inside ALL day I start to feel sick. Like my mind is playing tricks on me. Especially when I've been caring for some major sickies. 

So tonight after the hubby got home from work I escaped to my room for some me time! I needed a good shower and some pampering for a pick me up! 

I figured I'd share some of what I use as my "extras". Basically when I have time other than a rinse off. 

In the shower I'll use an extra moisture treatment and I'll take the time to exfoliate.

I'll then remove what's left of my makeup with a cleansing wipe (these cucumber ones are my favorite), wash up with my almost finished cleanser along with my clarsonic.

I've been trying to whiten lately (not going so well) I am super sensitive and I really never remember (Hyginiest fail).

I then moisturizer everything else: face- Josie Maren argon oil and eye cream. Nails- Essie apricot oil. Body- lotion and coconut oil.

My favorite step- exfoliating my lips with this yummy scrub (yes you eat it too), and lip balm!

Let me know what you like to use to pamper on those "extra" nights and any recommendations for cleansers or under eye treatments!! 

Here's to healthy kids and a refreshed mama!

everyday makeup

                

For a mama of 2 littles life can get kind of crazy!!

So in my attempt to stay beautified and put together, Ive tried to keep my beauty routine simple.
Above is my "Everyday Makeup"

One- BB and CC creams- Im obsessed, multiple steps in one and benefits! Im down!
Two- Gotta hide those dark circles and brighten the eyes.
Three- Bronzer does wonders for the whole look
Four & Five- My MUST haves- mascara and blush. These two make me look awake and alive- don't leave home without!
Six- Eyeliner is new for me- I know! But I tend to feel closed in when I apply- so i just line the outer corners.

The whole process takes me maybe 5 minutes
(maybe longer with the little miss wanting to be held)

What are some of your must haves? Share then with me in the comments, Im always looking for new products!
