So much of this outfit is on major sale AND multiple color ways for both the sweater and skirt to make it your own 🤍!

I made this nursing friendly also by pairing it with a stretchy bodysuit underneath to easily access the goods without pulling my entire shirt off.

also the shoes were SO comfortable! and amazon!

We love her! This lip oil is one of the best I’ve tried and actually lasted on the lips. She’s thick but deeply nourishing and not sticky.

#LTKbeauty #LTKSeasonal #LTKfindsunder50

Merit Beauty lippies are so good and underrated! Great creamy, comfortable clean formula. Shade Baby is a perfect beige pink for nearly everyone! Love it for the winter.

#LTKover40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKbeauty

10/10 worth the hype and she lives in my purse all winter long! One of the few lip products i reapply and love to do it 🫦

#LTKSeasonal #LTKGiftGuide #LTKbeauty

Tinted lip balm by Honest Beauty! Very balmy and creamy with a nice hydrating feel. The shades aren’t totally accurate online though so maybe best to see these in person or pick the more brighter and darker colors. Shade Lychee Fruit (here) is extremely peachy and pale/nude).

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKSeasonal #LTKbeauty

she’s like Charlotte Tilbury but slightly cheaper! ABH in Praline 🤍🫦! SO good!

#LTKsalealert #LTKHoliday #LTKbeauty

my faves and why!

1️⃣ ABH lipstick in Praline or True Beige - beautifully creamy nude pinks.. this formula totally underrated ! reminds me of charlotte tilbury but for way less $.
2️⃣ benefit cookie highlight - my favorite to bounce light off the nose and cheeks. a creamy bright beige champagne.
3️⃣ lawless lipsticks - reformulated to be even creamier and plumping. love wedding day, fawn and annie but they’re all beautiful nudes! clean!
4️⃣ charlotte tilbury lip liner in Pillow Talk - all shades are beautiful but it’s the formula that makes it amazing. creamy yet stays put and doesn’t disappear!
5️⃣ patrick ta gloss - a new fave this year…. super shiny and gives the lips a fuller effect without tingling. shade 2CC is great alone or over any lip color.
6️⃣ makeup by mario skin enhancer - i finished an entire pan of this and repurchased. that’s a big deal. this gives the skin a natural suntan effect and doesn’t enhance texture in a greasy way.
7️⃣ hourglass bronzer - another repurchase…. my favorite bronzer ever because it gives a radiant sheen without being glittery. matte bronzers are awesome butttt as we get older we need some radiance and powders last a bit better than creams most of the time.
8️⃣ rare beauty stick in happy sol - i finished this entire stick. another rarity haha. doesn’t break me out and easy to apply! great neutral shade.
9️⃣ summer fridays balm treatment - got this in a gift set this year and it’s lovely. perfect if you struggle with dry lips but want a hint of color while healing them. clean!
🔟 merit bronze balm - another one i constantly grabbed for this year for easy on the go mom makeup… it’s so fool proof and you cannot overdo it. if cream products intimidate you, but you want easy makeup and have normal to dryer skin… try this one! also acne safe and clean.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKsalealert #LTKbeauty

my faves and why!

1️⃣ saie in sunglow - naturally luminous, doesn’t break me out and can be used on its own, mixed with makeup or layered underneath or on top. great if you want a hint of suntan on your skin. clean!
2️⃣ tower 28 - one of my favorite mineral spf tinted moisturizers on the market for most skin types. clean!
3️⃣ armani luminous silk - i always go back to this.. for over a decade now. it’s pricey but looks so natural and blurring on the skin. if you’re super oily you will need to set it but i always love how it looks on my skin whether dry or more normal or more oily.
4️⃣ rose inc skin tint - a favorite from this year! sheer to light coverage in a plumping formula. totally acne safe! clean!
5️⃣ rose inc concealer - pairs awesome with the rose inc skin tint. great medium to full coverage in a radiant finish. clean!
6️⃣ natasha denona concealer - incredible shade range… medium to full coverage for dryer under eyes and skin types.
7️⃣ nars radiant concealer - an oldie but a goodie! been using this a lot again lately … great for drier under eyes and blemishes/discoloration on the skin.
8️⃣ dior concealer - another favorite for my drier under eyes when i want full coverage! flawless and brightening.

#LTKGiftGuide #LTKbeauty #LTKsalealert

My faves and why!

1️⃣ patrick ta eyeshadow palette - brown neutrals in a mix of shimmer and matte. super pigmented and bendable for a variety of looks from day to night with two creams for bases or eyeliner
2️⃣ makeup by mario mattes - my most used eyeshadow palette this year! i love matte eyes for every day and this palette gives great options for brown or hazel eyes… it leans more OLIVE toned instead of just warm or cool.
3️⃣ lawless eyeshadow palette - a great neutral palette in a clean and talc free formula
4️⃣ kosas brow pencil - for those who want a clean brow pencil with great shade variety
5️⃣ benefit fan fest mascara - best new mascara i’ve tried this year for length and volume and curl … and it does not smudge!
6️⃣ makeup by mario eyeliner in brown - love this one because the included brush makes winging out your eyeliner quickly so easy.
7️⃣ sephora pro brush set - 30% off and everything you’d need!
8️⃣ benefit 24 hr brow setter - my most used, most repurchased brow gel. firm hold but never crusty or flaky.
9️⃣ YSL lash clash duo set - a great deal for two of these… gives volumizing fluffy looking lashes.

fave everyday makeup brushes!

#LTKbeauty #LTKGiftGuide #LTKstyletip

non crunchy hair volume + heat protectant = 🤍! been loving this instead of using a hair mousse because it doesn’t make hair feel dry or dirty.

and you can use it to refresh your blowout next day on dry hair too!

#LTKbeauty #LTKGiftGuide #LTKfindsunder50

a mom must - dry shampoo. my fave dry shampoos that don’t totally dry out my scalp and leave flakes!

the charcoal bottle adds more volume…

the silver bottle adds more conditioning…

i use both interchangeably!

pregnancy and breastfeeding safe anti aging serum of choice!

was sent this in PR a year ago and didn’t think it would do much honestly. then i was raiding my stash during pregnancy and decided to use it up.

once i finished it, a couple weeks went by and i noticed my skin was NOT as plump and glowy as it was when i had this in my routine.

::immediately purchased:: with my own money.

not sure what magic is in this but if you can’t or don’t want to use retinol, GET THIS!

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKbump #LTKbeauty

under $100 for a Lululemon lookalike outfit from Target!

all size M on me 5’3” ~140lbs post partum

would recommend sizing down on the cardigan especially if in between… same with the pants (i could have done S but preferred the looser fit in the M).
