5 Everyday Beauty Must-Haves - Reese's Hardwear

I used to be a firm believer in always putting your face on – aka. your makeup. Even if I didn’t have plans or a reason to leave the house, I was ready for whatever the day brought. These days, I’m tired all the time and putting on makeup to maybe go somewhere isn’t what I want to do with the precious little energy I do have. Now, I’m a firm believer in these 5 everyday beauty must-haves. These are hero products that I use every day no matter what. If I just do the bare minimum, this is it, but if a whole face is involved, these 5 everyday beauty must-haves are the foundation.

FYI- These are not in order of how I apply each product.

One.

This under eye primer is ahhhhh-mazing. It wakes up my tired mama eyes and gives the under eye a little boost. It has caffeine in the formula so it really is like a cup of coffee for your face. It also has this amazing tingle feeling right after application that I love. It is a primer so you can use it before your concealer for a better, finished product.

Two.

This YSL Primer feels so good on the skin. If you’re wearing it under foundation it blurs lines and adds an extra dewy/ golden glow to your look. If you’re like me, you just want the dewy look with minimal effort and put it on after your moisturizer.

Three.

The best make-up removal wipes on the market; period. Granted, that is 100% based on my opinion and personal experience, but these take the day off wipes get everything off. They are also really great at cleansing your face at the end of the day. I use them whether I wear makeup or not and love how clean my face feels afterward.

Four.

Oh, Oh it’s magic! But really, it is! Charlotte Tilbury is a new brand for me. I was hesitant to try it because it is pricier than MAC; which has been my go-to for over 10 years. I needed a new moisturizer and I finally ran out of all my stock from my buying days so I decided to give it a shot. I’ve heard from other girlfriends how much they love it, so I just did it and I’m so glad I did. It comes in two sizes but the larger is a much better value. I highly recommend both because my skin is so soft and hydrated and the stuff smells so pretty.

Five.

Still my favorite mascara. I love Chanel, Clinique and almost every MAC mascara there is, but the Mr. Big mascara has been holding strong as my go-to for everyday wear. In one to two swipes, my lashes look full, long and not stuck together. I do wear mascara 99% of the time because I truly feel like I look dead without it. If I’m stranded on an island or can ever only have one thing… it will be a tube of mascara. To learn more about my best and worst mascaras, read this full review post here.
