Mama Must-Have: Three Random Things I'm Obsessed With

I am literally obsessed with three beauty products at the moment.


This is my favorite lotion of. all. time. Yeah, that's a big statement but I stand by it. This stuff is available at Sephora and it is amazing: smells wonderful, makes my skin super soft, and doesn't feel greasy. I cannot imagine life without this stuff.

I'll admit that I'm kinda lazy when it comes to hair and makeup. I have always neglected my eyebrows when I wear makeup because they're already thick and dark so I just never understood why I would use anything else on them. Enter Benefit's Gimme Brow. This stuff is like a little mini-mascara for your eyebrows and helps them look full, defined, and polished. Even if I'm not wearing a full face of makeup, a little bit of this makes a world of difference. And I've now learned that it is a MUST for a full face of makeup.

Let me get something off my chest: I hate lipstick. I'm like the Goldilocks of lipstick: it's too sticky, it's too creamy, it's too shiny, it's too bright, it's too neutral. You get the picture. I discovered this little drugstore gem a few months ago and loved the subtle purple color (Oh La Lilac) with a nice summer tan. It's a gel pigment so it feels more like a lip balm than a lipstick. I now have six tubes strategically placed in my car, makeup bag, diaper bag, etc.

Mama Must-Have: LUSH Therapy Massage Bar


My husband has been on a huge natural product kick recently and got me a nice little gift card to LUSH for our anniversary a few months back. I went into our local store looking for a super-moisturizing lotion or oil to keep the growing belly and booby itchiness at bay. The salesgirl immediately recommended the Therapy Massage Bar because it contains neroli oil, which is supposed to be great for preventing/treating stretch marks.

Just rub this bar between your hands or straight onto your belly and your body heat melts the cocoa/shea butter concoction. I've been rubbing this thing on pretty generously every night for the last three months and am loving how moisturized my midsection is staying! I also just finished up my first massage bar, so your $10 investment will provide you with several months of use. I love that this bar is made of 100% natural ingredients and nothing sketchy!
