Beauty Tips for the Multitasking Mama

Faking it for real

Sleep is important. But. It’s just one of those things that doesn’t come easy when you’re a busy parent like me. Let’s be real…sometimes you have to fake it until you make it and that’s ok. No matter where my day takes me, my makeup bag always carries clean products with tons of benefits and no fuss.

Start with the eyes I like to layer Honest Beauty’s Extreme Length 2-in-1 Mascara & Primer with Honestly Healthy Lash Serum for an instant pick-me-up that nourishes, conditions and boosts length for lush, lifted lashes.Once the lashes are popping, take on those tell-tale tired signs: dark circles. Honestly Bright Eyes does all the things for multitasking mamas (and papas) as an eye cream and color corrector in one; moisturizing and softening your skin with squalane—a light emollient that mimics your skin’s natural oils. There’s also 2 types of hyaluronic acid for that hydrated, plump look that instantly brightens with light-reflecting pearl. Just dab throughout the day and keep it moving. It’s a win-win situation.

Double duty beauty Sometimes we have to live on less sleep, but let’s not compromise on clean products that work for our busy lives. No time is no problem for the all-in-one Honest Beauty CCC Tinted Moisturizer—makeup with skin care benefits that primes, protects and perfects. And in case you’re wondering about those triple Cs: it’s clean and it’s packed with vitamin C, which has antioxidant properties and helps correct the appearance of uneven skin tone for that no filter vibe. With broad spectrum SPF 30, you can also be out and about doing everything under the sun in a snap.

Once you’ve got your face on, a flush of color is all it takes to look fresh. The fan fave Honest Beauty Creme Cheek + Lip Color is my go-to. It’s powered with raspberry, blackberry and grape extracts for punchy pigment that you can build from sheer to saturated with a swipe of your finger for a glowing finish.

I got you, babe Maximize every minute with multipurpose products that work for your family and for you all day, every day. The Honest Organic All-Purpose Balm is my head-to-toe solution for everything: nourish rough hands and heels, rub it on dry elbows and cuticles, tame flyaways and split ends. I can even trust it with my sweet little Hayes’ delicate skin as part of our everyday routine. Wipes are a fact of life when you’re a parent, but they’re not just for your kids’ messy moments. Honest Hydrating Wipes and Gently Nourishing Wipes are hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested and 100% plant-based cloths infused with jojoba and almond oil to nourish or aloe and cucumber to hydrate. Beyond the skin care benefits, these extra large wipes are the right size and texture to take on big messes on the go or on your changing table. With a gentle scent made from natural fragrance, they’re super tough but leave your skin feeling soft.
