My 9 Beauty Must-Haves

My beauty product obsession is real!

I am wired to love it. I told my husband, “I can’t help it, God made me this way.” Lol.

If you come over to my house, it’s a very similar experience to visiting your grandmothers house.—If your grandma is anything like mine, you leave with random spoons, or snow villages, definitely lots of food and maybe a random blanket.—The only difference is, you leave my house with a face mask, a peel, a random lip glass or a sample of my latest most favorite lotion.

Opening my cupboards is like walking into a section in Sephora, And I’m proud of it! 

That being said, there are SOOOO many products out there, how do you narrow it down??

Friends… that’s my problem! HA! I want to share with you my ALL-time GO-TO favorite beauty products that have remained a constant in my beauty regimen and why! Below are all the links to my favorites that I talk about in the video!

1. Neutrogena Makeup Removing Wipes

I use these every night before bed, whether I have a full face of makeup on or just a little, I use this before I wash my face. Taking care of your skin is so important…EVEN if all you have the energy to do is this..DO IT! Never go to bed with makeup on!

2. Dr. Dennis Gross - Alpha Beta Daily Strength Peels

(I use 3x a week) If you’ve read my other posts, you’ll know I struggled with Acne for many years. This was one of my go-to’s and still is! My hubby uses these as well. They help with refining the pores, keeping your skin clean, wrinkles, scarring, you name it! I love the texture of my skin after I use these.


Also: Alpha Beta Intense Glow Pads

I use the intense glow when I need a little color in my face, this is the same as the above peel except this has a self tanner to give you a GLOW!)


3. Drunk Elephant Polypeptide Cream

Any drunk elephant product will deliver! I have fallen in love with this one. It’s moisturizing yet isn’t sticky (if you know what I mean). It absorbs into your skin and feels light, and I have noticed a big difference in the overall texture of my skin.

4. LUSH - Handy Gurugu

This has a place by my bed on my nightstand, AND in my car, AND in my purse. My hands have been so dry lately, and this is the only product that actually works to moisturize them!

5. LUSH - Charity Pot Lotion

My all time fave lotion, I use it on my babies and myself and your skin feels baby smooth and it also has a nice subtle clean, natural scent.

6. Burts Bees Lip Balm

These handy little lip balms are all over every room and every bag… I cannot stand it when my lips get chapped!

7. Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Have you seen “My Big Fat Greek Wedding?” You know how the dad literally uses Windex for EVERYTHING…?? Thats how I feel about Aquaphor; I use it for everything! Under my eyes, my feet, my cuticles, my lips… my babies’ bottoms… I use it everywhere!! Lol

8. Skin Gym Rose Quartz

I keep this in the fridge and roll it on my face in the morning to get my collagen pumping and wake my face up! It helps with puffy eyes and swelling as well.

9. Diptyque - Eau Duelle Perfume

I wear all different fragrances depending on the season. I usually go towards Supernatural essential oils because, after all the babies, most scents will give me headache. My grandma wore White Diamonds and oh boy… could you smell her coming! She would pack the perfume on! It was her signature scent all right. Lol. I miss her... Any way, this is my signature scent. #obsessed

I hope you give these a try and love them as much as I do!
