Throughout my pregnancy, clothes shopping for myself just didn't appeal to me. However, clothes shopping for Lucas and beauty products for myself was my vice. At nine months pregnant, I just felt so incredibly yucky so pampering with new beauty products did the trick. Now that I'm on maternity leave, I'm not using a whole lot of makeup but when I do, it feels nice to use products that I really like. Here's what I'm loving lately:
1.
Macadamia Deep Repair Masque: For the first time in my life, my hair is full! Pregnancy hormones can be pretty awesome in this area. With fullness came the tangles so I started looking into deep conditioners to keep my hair soft and smooth. I love this masque! Not only does it smell great but it makes my hair so soft without feeling heavy.
2.
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler: I've never owned a nice eyelash curler until I bought this curler and I now get the hype! I have long lashes but they grow straight out. This is the only curler that has sufficiently curled my lashes and lasts all day. Totally recommend it!
3.
Urban Decay Naked Basic Palette: I own both of the naked palettes and love them so I knew this palette would not disappoint. Lately, I've been using the dark brown shadow as an eyeliner and the lightest shade in my inner eye to make me look semi awake. This is also such a good palette for office makeup.
4.
Dior Creme de Rose Plumping Lip Balm: This lip balm smells sooooooooo good! I have really sensitive lips and this does not irritate them. In fact, it makes them super soft. I apply this before I apply any other beauty products to give it time to set. Love love!
5.
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer: I have the darkest of the darkest under eye circles. Now that I'm only getting a couple hours of sleep at night, they're even darker so I need extra coverage. I love applying this concealer over my Bobbi Brown color correcting concealer. It lightens my under eye area and is long lasting. For the price, it's a great product and I will repurchase once I run out.
6.
Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon: The lip butter line is so fun. I picked up Wild Watermelon and Juicy Papaya and I really like the brightness without looking too teen boppy.
7.
Yes to Cucumbers Cleansing Towelettes: I'm very particular about removing my makeup and cleaning my face two times a day. When I don't deep cleanse my skin using my clarisonic mia, I use these towelettes to remove my makeup before washing using a face soap. It's not irritating on my skin and feels and smells nice.
