I was talking to a friend about how much I am in LOVE with DiorShow mascara and I thought it would be fun to talk about makeup, favorite hair products, etc. I am a girly girl and love this kind of thing, but being a Mom has made me a bit more practical in my routines. I will share some of my current favorites and hope you will tell me about yours in the comments, or post about it and leave a link in the comments!
So obviously DiorShow mascara gets a place on my list of favorites. I am super picky about mascara and wear contacts, and have sensitive eyes and this has never irritated my eyes at all. It is just fantastic and although it is pricey, it is sooo worth the splurge! I have been using this exclusively for a couple of years, and I must say it is rare for me to be so loyal to a beauty product for so long, but this is seriously the gold standard.
I have been really into Everyday Minerals for a little over a year. It is very light, but still provides great coverage- it is perfect if you hate the feeling of having makeup on your face, and is even more perfect for the hot summer months when the idea of having an extra layer of anything on anywhere is completely unappealing. The very best part is they offer an amazing deal to try their makeup for free! You get to pick the type/ colors and they have a great selection. The samples are very generous and will last well over one application. (of course check things out and make sure they are still offering this deal!) You can also buy sample sizes, and they are great to add some fun "seasonal" colors into your routine on the cheap. I will say you will want to have brushes for this makeup- no little sponge applicators for this stuff! (which if you aren't using actual makeup brushes please stop reading and go get some. It will seriously change how you feel about makeup) My very favorites are Aussie Perk Me Up Concealer, and Walkee Talkee blush. (I have also found EM to be very affordable especially in the mineral makeup world!)
If you are a Mom, then you MUST add dry shampoo to your product arsenal. We all have those days that a shower is just a dream, and dry shampoo is the perfect solution that will keep you looking like the Mom who didn't get to shower. My personal favorite is Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo Spray.
If you use a flat iron on your hair, you will LOVE Rusk flat iron thermal spray. It is what my stylist uses to get that super smooth, finished look and when I use it my hair looks noticeably better!
My last mention of the day is Clinique's Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in Bamboo Pink. I have used this shade since high-school (by far my longest love affair with any beauty product, ever) and it is just perfection.
Okay friends, that's all I have time for today- but please share your favorites! I am on the lookout to change up my skincare, and I have never found a shampoo/conditioner combo that makes me all excited, so if you have favorites, I am very curious to know what they are!!
