Friday Favorites: My Daily 3

I am not a big makeup person. I'm a beauty product junkie, yes. But I do not wear makeup daily. I do have my daily go to items though. While I often leave the house freshly clean-faced, when I have that extra 37 seconds in the morning, these are my three go to items I always turn to.

1. Buxom Mascara

I have blond lashes and very light brown brows. If I don't wear mascara, I feel like I look like an albino. This mascara works well for me. And I've tried a SHITTON of mascaras. You should see my drawer of them. Might be time for a clean out now that I think about it.... When in doubt, this is the one I always reach for.

2. Anastasia Brow Filler

I have a brow filler brush from Sephora from like 1998 that I have yet to replace but this powder is my jam. Takes me barely 30 seconds to fill in both brows and makes me feel as though my face is complete. Legit awesome. Now that I think about it, maybe I should have a second one and just keep it in my car so I don't scare people at Trader Joe's anymore....

3. Nars Multiple Stick in Orgasm

Yeah, the name gets me too. But this is my jam. A teeny tiny bit on my fingertips and put on my cheeks just adds a bit of shimmery summer glow. Everyone needs a little shimmery summer glow, right?!

Do you have daily go to items?!

My Night Time Routine

What is your night time beauty routine? I'm VERY basic. Like VERY basic. At 36 years old, you'd think I'd have this insane, ridiculous skin care regimen that I'd do. Nope. I didn't wear makeup until I was 30, didn't learn how to wear eyeliner or colored lipstick until last year, and I actually didn't start "taking care of my skin" until I was about 35. Crazy, I know. BUT, I have a routine and I stick with it. Here's my night time routine. Stay tuned for my morning/every day routine!

Every night, after I brush my teeth, I wash my face with Cetaphil (from any drugstore in existence), splash some BeautyCounter Rose Water on my face, and use my night time Benefit Face Cream.



Then, depending on how dry my skin is, I either use Ultra Repair Cream for basic normal to dry spots, usually my heels of my feet, my elbows, and random spots here and there. If it's bad, like the dead of winter, I use Bag Balm (I was raised on a farm and we used it on cow udders) on my hands and feet and put socks on then get into bed. Seriously. It works. My grandma used to do it with Vaseline!



When I get into bed, on my nightstand, I have this incredible lotion that I love. I've used it probably since college and the lavender smell soothes me to sleep. Bath and Body Works Lavender and Chamomile lotion, with a pump, is perfect. Just a few pumps, lather on my hands, up my arms, and on my elbows soothes me perfectly.



So tell me, what's part of your night time routine?
