I am trying to focus on myself more lately as a mom and a girl. Just realized that I am so quick to pass up feeling a little better about myself to not be late or it’s just too much work. But when I take the extra 5 minutes to do my hair differently or wear a nice blouse I feel good and I feel happier. My kids make me happy and crazy…seriously though…. we should take care of ourselves. Plus if your hair is not a complete mess and you have a little bronzer and chapstick on you won’t look near as crazy when you lose it in the store after asking your kids to stop climbing on everything like monkeys for the 18th time. I even get all glammed up in these products to check the mail which used to be the highlight of my day. Either way it boosts my esteem and goodness knows when I shower and pamper a little this busy momma is happy! If your like me though you don’t have a ton of time, energy, or money…so here are few of my favorites that won’t break the bank, save you on your time, and feel good about your style! At least for me it does.
I absolutely do not have time or patience to wash my hair every night and if I’m real here not even every other night. I have very thick hair, two kiddos to feed and dress for school in the mornings, two cats and a dog, and oh myself. The days of bow drying my hair now are more like vacation days that don’t come often enough. So I am in love and I will not can not live with out DRY SHAMPOO! I have tried many salon quality, salon prices, several store-bought, but hands down my fav is Suave Dry Shampoo {not the one with Keratin}. Plus it comes in a two pack! Holla!! Now get you some and I promise you will never want to wash your hair again. Just kidding but you may not want to but you will have to say on day five…I may or may not have gone that long several times. Just sayin!
My favorite bronzer is plain and cheap ELF bronzer. You know Eyes Lip Face from Target. Love it! I am so pale and this girl needs a bronzer. I also love their tinted moisturizer/foundation too. I am absolutely addicted to these and yes the dry shampoo too but hey at $3 a product I am in love!
My favorite lip product is the Burts Bees Shimmer in Champagne or Sugar.
My absolute favorite shampoo and conditioner that is affordable is Herbal Essence Hello Hydration. It is the perfect amount of clarifying and conditioning with out leaving my thick and wild hair oil yet still silky!
Hands down my favorite hand soap is Mrs. Meyers! They are $3,99 a bottle but I love the smells!
My favorite body wash and body lotion is Aruba Coconut from Bath and Body Works.
My favorite eyeshadow concealer stick for my eyelids is (your gonna laugh) good old N.Y.C for $1.79! It says for under eye circles but I use it all over my eye lids and I love it!
My absolute favorite mascara is Lash Love by Mary Kay for $16 a tube.
So there you have my favorite and affordable beauty products! I would love to hear what yours are? Any beauty tips?
