Must Have Monday with a Mrs & a Mama

Happy Monday! I feel like I am totally saying “happy Monday” because I am currently getting to take a little bit of a break from work as I await little miss Harper’s arrival. My husband and I were (not so) secretly hoping she would have arrived yesterday because it was my husband’s birthday, but that clearly did not happen. So since she is not here yet, I am still trying to keep my blog game strong knowing that once she arrives there will probably be some silence around here for awhile. Today I am teaming up with the lovely Katie of a Mrs & a Mama to share our must have beauty products. Be sure to head over to Katie’s blog to read all about her must have beauty product, the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette! You can also follow her along via Pinterest and Instagram (@mrsandamama). I don’t typically talk too much about my favorite beauty products on here, so I was really inspired by Katie to do just that!

When Katie mentioned the topic of Must Have Monday I immediately had a hard time choosing just one item. I was able to narrow it down to a top three based on products that I honestly could not go a day without unless it’s a day that I am not wearing any makeup. I absolutely LOVE Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Blonde. I really never thought I would see the day that I would fill in my brows, however as I have gotten older, my eyebrows feel like they have stopped growing. I have also fallen in love with a well-defined brow and feel like it can complete a look and make it look more polished, even a simple every day one. I am not kidding when I say I could not live without Benefit Cosmetics Erase Paste. I have had problematic skin for years now and sadly it really hasn’t gotten a lot better as an adult. Since I have been pregnant, my skin has gotten even worse, reverting to its high school days, and how what remains is a lot of discoloration. Erase Paste is a savior in the concealer department and surprisingly lasts most of the day for me. My final favorite is Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara, which I was introduced to by a friend. We both have a mutual love for Julia of Gal Meets Glam and of course wanted to try it out after she had mentioned it on her Instagram/blog. There is no need to worry about clumps or uneven coverage, and I love how easy it is to remove at night.

P.S. Speaking of beauty products, there are only a few days left to enter to win a HD Clear facial kit, which you don’t want to miss out on. It’s definitely one of the giveaways I wish I could enter myself!
