Holy Grail No. 1

When you cycle through beauty products as much as I do, sooner or later you hit upon a few items that you cannot live without from that point on. For me, this doesn’t happen very often for a number of reasons.

First of all, I love trying new things so when I finish a product, I’m anxious to experiment with new releases. Also, my skin changes with the seasons so my needs at any given point can vary greatly. That being said, I have a few “Holy Grail” products that I adore and would recommend to any of my Modern Mommies.

Holy grail No.1: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

Color: Vanilla 02

Retail: 32.00

I love this tinted gel for an every day kind of wear. As much as I love a full coverage foundation and glamming it up on a Friday night, I simply don’t have the time to make that happen and get out the door in the morning, especially now that I have a six month old to care for. But I don’t want to look dead either so this basically saves my life! The sheer coverage evens out my skin tone and helps minimize redness. With the smooth consistency, it takes minimal blending and can be applied with the fingertips. Pair it with a little concealer for those persistent dark circles, a dab of blush and a bit of mascara and you are good to go! Five minutes and you look bright, awake and ready to take on the the day.
