Current 5-Minute Makeup Routine

current makeup routine

Hi all!

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a beauty post & my routine has definitely been mixed up a bit w/ having two littles at home now! The quicker the morning routine, the better, and happier everrryone is! Here is my current, no-fuss beauty routine, which includes a few stellar drugstore finds:

L’oréal True Match Lumi Foundation in n4 (buff beige) – I had read so much about this drugstore foundation before buying it bc it is supposedly a dupe to the super expensive but highly raved about Armani foundation. While I haven’t ever tried the Armani, I can attest that this foundation absolutely makes you GLOW! My container is almost out so I’ve alreadya bought another in the shade N4 but I also bought the shade lighter for fall/winter! Seriously, my new foundation love!!!

Rimmel Bronzer in “Sun Dance” – The most natural, sun-kissed shade of bronzer – all at a drugstore price! I’ve tried loads of bronzers and this one is the best! I can’t believe how cheap and HOW GOOD it is!

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara – I switch mascaras frequently and have tried A TON! This one makes my lashes look very full!!!

Milani Baked Blush in “Luminoso” – A true NARS cult-favorite “Orgasm” dupe. This blush is sooo flattering on every type of skin tone! The reviews are so, so good for a reason. And, again, it’s a drugstore find! We love drugstore finds, right?! 🙂

Becca Highlighter in “Champagne Pop” – I splurged on this highlighter from Ulta bc I kept reading about it everywhere! I will never need another highlighter again as I don’t think any can get better than this. Natural looking but provides a very pretty glow. Will be a lifesaver during cold weather!

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette (especially the shade “Limit”) – I talk about this palette in every makeup post I do but it’s the best. I prefer rosier shades on my lids other than an occasional bronze look. It’s a bit pricier but lasts FOREVER!

NYX Butter Gloss – I’ve raved about this before but it’s by far my FAVORITE lip gloss! And it’s only $4.99!!! I have this in a few shades. “Tiramisu” is probably my go-to. This gloss feels way more expensive, like a high end lipgloss!

Love of Color One & Done Shadow Stick in “Champagne Problems” – I recently received this in my monthly Birchbox & I have been using it in the corner of my eyes to hide my omnipresent sleep deprivation! It does the trick and is a beautiful shade.

Benefit Gimme Brow (#5) – This stuff is always sold out of Ulta for a reason! A couple of quick swipes and my brows look so much fuller, darker, and filled-in! It’s amazing! I’ve purchased this product many, many times!

Colorescience Bronzing Perfector Primer – This primer smooths everything before I apply my foundation. Love that it has SPF.

** I use the e.l.f. Ultimate Blending Brush (only $6 & an absolute steal!!! Very high quality!!!) for my foundation, IT Soft Touch Blush (that I got in an amazing set that would be a perfect gift for anyone) for my bronzer and highlighter, and another brush I picked up from Sephora (sorry don’t remember the details) for my blush.current makeup routine

Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day starte Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day started but certainly not how it ended 😆! We had two exhausted kiddos (& parents!), tummy aches (& more) from too much candy, & lots of meltdowns along the way! 🌸 Holidays are FUN & oh so memorable... but it’s always great to get back to the regular routine! 🤍😊 #easter
E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remem E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remember a few weeks ago when I showed you guys some things I was going to gift the girls for Easter? Well, I’ve decided since Ellie’s bday is so close to the holiday this year, I’m splitting up the goodies, gifting half on her bday & half on Easter. Less is more this year! We just don’t need all the STUFF. Mamas, you know what I saying here right?? 🤍🤍🤍 also found those cute baskets on @etsy ... I’ll link them but found them bc of @themamanotes ! I can’t take credit for this find but they sure are CUTE!
What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? ✨ My go-to shops are: @glamfete @ellieandpiperco @fancyfreefinery @shopsweetlulu & @amazon 🤍✨ currently planning Ellie’s bday which is just around the corner! #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday
Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun act Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun activity for the girls - white glue, shaving cream, & food coloring! 🌈 Really though, I should be working on our tax return since the one month countdown is on! I always seem to wait until the last minute! Anyone else?! 🙈 This year, if you plan to put any of your refund into college savings, I’ve partnered with Ohio’s 529 to share the benefit of saving for college in a 529 account rather than a traditional savings account. That’s because all contributions and earnings grow tax-free in a 529 plan, meaning your money will go farther compared to savings in a traditional, low-interest savings account. SWIPE to see a cool graphic they put together to show the difference it can make over time!
DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last yea DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last year was sooo simple! We picked up white eggs from the dollar store, painted them, and then hot glued them to a styrofoam wreath! 🐣🌷✨ #easterdiy #diy #easter #eastereggs
