As someone who is not a beauty blogger I feel a little strange sharing beauty products with others. I’m definitely no expert in skin care or makeup. However, I do know what I like and what works for me. I also know that with so many beauty products on the market it can be overwhelming trying to determine what works and what’s worth it. Here are some of my favorite beauty products for moms (or anyone!). These are products I love and use everyday! This post is part of a paid collaboration with VIIcode and some links contain affiliates, all opinions expressed are my own.
beauty products for moms (and anyone!)
VIIcode T2 Oxygen Eye Cream
One product I’ve been using recently is the VIIcode T2 Oxygen Eye Cream. Some of the ingredients in this product are Elderberries (helps maintain skin cells for healthier looking skin), Jojoba Oil (keeps skin hydrated and firm), and Evening Primrose (boosts blood circulation to help with tired eyes). The claim is that these products work together to aid in healing and regenerating the delicate skin around your eyes. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I have noticed a noticeable difference in the month I’ve been using it. You can apply either morning or night but I prefer to use it at nighttime after washing my face to help me relax and prepare for bed. It has a cooling sensation upon application that’s very soothing for my under eye area. I truly feel like it’s been helping to reduce the fine lines around my eyes–which every mom could use, right?
Lash Boost from Rodan + Fields
I’ve talked about Lash Boost from Rodan + Fields before because it works! I know so many people who get lash extensions but the maintenance with that is way too much for me! Plus, I’ve heard too many horror stories about people losing their natural lashes–no thanks! Lash Boost really works in helping to grow your lashes in longer and thicker. The best part is that a little goes a long way. When I first started using Lash Boost I used it every night. Now that my lashes have grown so much I use it about every other night for maintenance. I’ve also personally used the serum on thin spots in my eyebrows. Lash Boost is definitely one of my favorite beauty products for moms.
Pixi beauty palette
Makeup is not my forte, by no means am I an expert and I have come to realize that I have far less than most women. After seeing so many bloggers talking about Pixi I finally got my first palette over Christmas and I’m in love. The palette not only contains a multitude of shadows (both matte and metallic), but also bronzers, blushes, and highlights. The colors are super pigmented and I love that I can grab one palate and have a complete look. Pixi has a whole line of makeup and skin care products that I can’t wait to try.
at-home face mask
If you follow me on Instagram than you probably already know how much I love at-home face masks. With so much on my plate I don’t make the time for facials or spa days. A face mask is one of the great beauty products for moms that can be done in a manner of minutes. Does your skin need a little extra TLC? I love that you can pick out a face mask that will target any concerns you have. Whether you’re dealing with excessive oil, dryness, or red areas. In a normal week I use a face mask once or twice. But when my skin is really struggling sometimes I’ll baby it with face masks all week long. I also love that you can find a face mask for any budget. It’s so fun to try a lot of different ones!
blemish patches
I thought I’d be long-done with acne by now, but I’m not that lucky. I first found out about these little secret weapons from Holly from Holly’s Housewife Life. Even though it’s been a year my post-baby hormones are CRAZY still. Sometimes my skin is oh-so-good… and sometimes my skin is riding the struggle bus. These little blemish patches are loaded with Hydrocolloid and help to draw out all the impurities in your area of concern. These little “bandaids” (as my kids call them) are so helpful in helping clear up blemishes when they pop up. As much as I love the Yes To brand for most things, I do NOT recommend the Yes To patches, they don’t work nearly as well as other brands!
