Top 5 Products For Busy Moms!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

In honor of today, I thought I would share with you my top 5 favorite products as a busy mom!
These products are all designed to speed up makeup application and/or extend the wear of your makeup so you don't have to worry about touch ups!!

1. Long Wearing Cream Shadows:

My favorite are the Maybelline Color Tattoos, but, I also really like the Rimmel Scandaleyes jumbo pencils, too. With the Maybelline, I find I do not need a primer for them to last all day, however, the Rimmel pencils usually do need to be applied on top of a primer, otherwise my oily lids will eventually cause them to crease.

2. Full coverage BB or CC Creams:

These are easy to apply, and some come with great coverage. My favorite is the Garnier BB Cream for Combination/Oily skin. It has a medium to full coverage formula that sits well on my skin. My only problem is that I can only ever find the Light/Medium shade, and the color is about 2 shades to dark for me, so I have to mix it with a lighter shade foundation.

3. Blending Sponges:

I ADORE the RealTechniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I also have one that I found at TJMaxx, which is more similar to the Beauty Blender in shape. I love to use these, because they make quick work out of blending in foundation and concealer, and you only need one tool to do both. Also, even though they make quick work of blending, you still get a beautiful finish that has no brush strokes or odd textures.

4. Lip Stains, Balm Stains, Chubby Sticks and Tinted Lip Balms:

These are so easy to chuck on in a hurry, and are convenient enough to toss in a purse or pocket for quick touch ups on the go! I really love the Revlon Kissable Balmstains, and The Rimmel Show Off's.

And last but NOT least...
5. Setting Sprays:

My number 1 favorite setting spray is the ELF Mist & Set. I have been using this for years, now, and I have found that when I set my foundation with this, I can blow my nose, and not remove any foundation with the tissue!! The best part about this product is the price!!! It's only $3!!!

These are all products I've been using for years, now, and I can honestly say, I don't know what I would do without them... They are staples in my collection and will be for years to come!!!

I hope you enjoy this post! Leave me a comment down below letting me know what your favorite products are for your "Mom Makeup Routine!"

Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day!!!!

My Experience with BH Cosmetics

So, I'm sure most of you have heard of BH Cosmetics before, and if you haven't, now you have!  So BH Cosmetics is a California based makeup company that carries a wide range of products. Back when they first came out, they were famous for the 120 palettes. I remember Makeup Geek using her 120 palettes all the time!

My BHC Makeup Collection

Now, though, they carry all kinds of eye palettes, lip products, and face products. I feel like the line has doubled just in the last year alone! While I don't have everything, I do have quite a decent collection of BHC products, and I fully expect it to gradually expand as they add new and exciting items!

I forgot to pull these out of my stash. The concealer Palettes I own in
 Light and Medium, and the foundation I have in Light Olive.

I think it's safe to say that BHC is one of my top favorite makeup lines! (I said ONE of my favorites, I have a bunch of favorites, hehe!) Although, if I have one complaint, it's about the shipping. And before you say anything, yes, I understand shipping is not cheap, and most of the items they ship are larger, however, I believe it is my right as a consumer to gripe about it!  I'm the type of person who will do whatever it takes to get free shipping, and if that means I have to spend $50, you better believe I will find something to add to my cart to get to $50! Hahaha! 

I also own both of these brush sets.

On the plus side, though, their shipping is shockingly fast! I ordered on Thanks Giving Day, and received my order that very next Monday! I could not believe it! That's fast even for a non holiday weekend/the busiest weekend of the year!

Also, I have had to call customer service a couple times (all issues were my own fault), they were super friendly, super helpful, and super awesome! They answered after only one or two rings, and I don't think they ever put me on hold. 

Over all, I highly recommend you give BH Cosmetics a try, if you haven't already, I think you'll be very satisfied with your goodies!

P.S.

BHC is on Ebates! Aaaahhh!

P.S.S. This was NOT a sponsored post, I'm 99.999999999% positive BHC has no clue who I am (obviously this is only my 3rd post to this blog....). I am genuinely recommending this company because I think they are great and most of their products that I have tried are great. I will eventually be doing reviews of everything I have, except for anything that is discontinued. I also plan on reviewing other brands that I have had experiences with...
