Really and truly these beauty gifts are good for ANYONE, but as I was thinking through what was fun or enjoyable, beauty-wise, right after I had Emily, these things came to mind.
It wasn’t terribly high on my list to get ready every single day after having her, but getting ready, even if it’s just the bare minimum makeup with my hair thrown up in a messy bun, helped me feel awake and more like myself. And a few of these products were nice to have around to use while I was getting acquainted with my postpartum body and dark under eye circles.

This lip balm is fantastic. Not only does it feel great on the lips but it also leaves the prettiest shimmer of pink behind as well. I threw it in my bag immediately so I could always have it with me. This is the only reason my under eye area wasn’t BLACK from lack of sleep. I set my concealer with this loose setting powder and I swear it made it look like I was actually rested.
Right before I had Emily I recieved comments on how my skin looked so glowy. While some of that may have been pregnancy glow + sheer excitement in anticipation of meeting my third baby, the majority of it was this powder I dusted all over my face after applying my makeup. It’s like an instagram filter in a powder.
This texture spray gives my hair a little life either on day 1 or day 2 . . . or day 3 . . . Click here to watch a quick video on how I apply it!
