My handsome boys! Today’s post on the blog is my experience with the transition from 1-2 kids vs the transition from 0-1 - link is in my bio šŸ’™

Medication and therapy changed my life and helped me be the kind of mom my boys deserve. Check in on your friends and loved ones, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. You are not a burden. Signed, a confident second-time mom who struggled with

Five to Try (#2)

September 27, 2016 in Makeup, Skincare

Another month, another "Five to Try" post - I want to try to make this a monthly thing (you can find last month's edition here). I know it's almost time for monthly favorites, but I thought these were worthy of their own post proclaiming how much I think you should try them.

Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos Glycolic Night Serum | Ok, I'll get the outrageous one out of the way first. Yes, this is expensive, but yes, I think it's worth it. It's one of the most effective chemical exfoliators I've tried, using 12% glycolic acid to remove dead skin cells and resurface the skin. I started off slow, using it once every two or three nights, but lately I've been using it every night before moisturizer and have seen a massive difference in my skin. My skin is smoother, and flaky bits and blackheads alike have been eliminated. If you've wanted to try a chemical exfoliator but haven't found anything effective enough, I'd say this is your best bet.

Pixi Black Lacquer Lash Primer* | I'm not normally one to use a lash primer, but this one by Pixi has me hooked. I love that it's black so it can be worn on its own on more minimal makeup days, but it also layers really well underneath other mascaras. It's a dry, almost mousse-y formula that coats the lashes and perfectly lengthens and fans them out while still feeling lightweight and never crunchy. If you're layering another mascara on top, I'd suggest a volumizing one, but its absolutely beautiful even on its own. I'm going to be doing a post on Pixi's new mascaras soon, so keep an eye out to see this in action.

bareMinerals Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick, 'Strip' | I've had my eye on this collection by bareMinerals ever since it launched. I'm surprised I still haven't gone for a liquid lipstick yet (I've heard they're lovely), but the Radiant Lipsticks are definitely worthy of a rave. It's such a nice and creamy formula that feels ultra-comfortable on the lips, and it still manages to last quite awhile without feathering or fading unevenly. The shade Strip is described as a "rich rosy brown," which is pretty spot on - it's a perfect nude for fall.

Milk Makeup Lip Color, 'GRRRL'* | I've already mentioned how much I love the Milk Makeup Lip Color (here), and this beautiful plummy-brown shade is no exception. It's got that same creamy matte formula that doesn't smudge or feather, and the shade is just beautiful for fall. I don't wear bold colors much, but I've actually almost gone to work with this on a few times - that's how much I love it. Mine is a mini size from the It's All a Blur Set.*

rms beauty Master Mixer | I'll be honest, I only bought this because I was feeling sad about missing out on the Becca Rose Quartz highlighter at first (though I've since gotten my hands on it) because it was another pale rose gold highlight. I already knew how much I love rms beauty's formulas from my obsession with the Living Luminizer, so I thought this rose gold offering would be equally lovely - it is. I've got a whole comparison post coming up, so I'll just say that if you like the Living Luminizer, you'll be a fan of the Master Mixer as well. I've also been loving tapping this onto my lips over lipsticks to add a little bit more glow - I'm actually wearing it on top of the bareMinerals lipstick mentioned above in my latest selfie on Instagram.

What are your must-try products of the moment?
