Benefit Cosmetics Erase Paste Concealer
Best concealer on the market, works better than anything else out there, but far too expensive. You can buy a primer and the cheap NYC concealer and have yourself this exact same outcome.

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer
This is insanely inexpensive for what you get, it's heavy and hard to manage but this paired with a good primer and you have yourself a $30-$40 quality concealer. It's just a little bit too difficult to smooth on because of how heavy-duty it is... +
This is insanely inexpensive for what you get, it's heavy and hard to manage but this paired with a good primer and you have yourself a $30-$40 quality concealer. It's just a little bit too difficult to smooth on because of how heavy-duty it is. Pencil was useless to me though, I never really bothered since I got 100% of what I needed and wanted out of just the cream. -
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base
I'm into this, for the price it's really, really good. Definitely not the best out there but it might be close if you take into consideration the price difference. It made my foundation last plenty longer too.

Bumbo Floor Seat
I want to love this, I love the way it looks and it's so sturdy and comfortable looking but my kids are just too fat. They've never fit in these. I also don't think that they need to cost as much as they do, they're so basic, like really.

Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara
My first mascara and anytime in my adult life, that I've attempted to use another brand, I've regretted it. I would pay double the price for this. It's great, it's long lasting, it's never let me down. But until now I didn't know what it was called... +
My first mascara and anytime in my adult life, that I've attempted to use another brand, I've regretted it. I would pay double the price for this. It's great, it's long lasting, it's never let me down. But until now I didn't know what it was called, when people ask me what mascara I use, I say "the neon green one with the pink lid." and everyone nods as if they know exactly what I'm talking about.
Great product. My forever mascara!

So I'm pretty sure I almost lost my sight trying to wear this. I put it on and started getting dressed and instantly it started burning, it was date night and I was not about to wash my whole face and lord knows you can not get mascara off without taking off everything, so I tried to tough it out. I've had babies, one of my babies without any drugs and the burn of this mascara was comparable.
5 minutes into the drive to dinner I had my husband turn around, I was like sorry, I gotta wash my eyes out. Took me an hour to redo my makeup and we ended up skipping the post dinner movie because we were running so late.
A couple weeks later I forgot about this near blinding experience and used it again before meet the teacher night. There was no time, the school is 5 minutes away, I'll talk to the teacher for 10 minutes I thought, it'll be fine. I'm tough. Pretty sure my Daughter's first grade teacher thinks I'm a major stoner because my eyes were so freakin' red and burning.
They should call this Fireblast mascara, or No need for sight mascara.
But yes, it is inexpensive. And I'm sure it looked great for like 8 seconds before my eyes started reacting.

Urban Decay Naked Palette
I'm a die hard naked palette fan, I don't think I even know any girls my age who don't have it. It's expensive but I've literally had mine for over 2 years so I don't think anyone can say the same for a covergirl or maybelline pallette. I use it for... +
I'm a die hard naked palette fan, I don't think I even know any girls my age who don't have it. It's expensive but I've literally had mine for over 2 years so I don't think anyone can say the same for a covergirl or maybelline pallette. I use it for day wear and night wear, there's approx a million tutorials on youtube and endless looks. I will buy it again and again and again and then I'll probably be in a nursing home because this b*tch lasts forever. -

I don't even know where to start with this product. We picked it out for 3 reasons,
1. It was black and would match whatever room we put it in.
2. It had the change table part included which was cool for me since we live in a large 2 story house and during my recovery walking up the stairs could have been a hassle.
3. It had the bassinet insert so I could lay my newborn in it.
Once we got to the store I noticed it was the cheapest option by almost $50, which is outrageous because it's by far the best playpen on the market. Every house guest compliments us on it. Once we got it home and started using it I realized that the mobile was simple yet my baby was mesmerized by it, just can't get enough. It also has a music player that plays calming sounds and exciting songs which my baby also loves to gab along to. Lastly I was surprised at how helpful the little storage pouch on the side is, we keep a small inventory of diapers and a wipe box in it and it's super convenient.
We assembled it easily in 5 minutes, no instructions were needed although they were in the box. It compacts into an included dufflebag smaller than most golf bags.
It's everything we wanted and more and for $99 at Target.

Pampers Baby-Dry Diapers
I have a boy and a girl and had heard that you wouldn't like the same diapers for both, I've tried different brands with both my babies but only because people purchased them for me or I was stuck and had to run to a store that didn't carry Pampers... +
I have a boy and a girl and had heard that you wouldn't like the same diapers for both, I've tried different brands with both my babies but only because people purchased them for me or I was stuck and had to run to a store that didn't carry Pampers.
Pampers is totally my go-to diaper brand, I like that the strip on the front changes color when there's pee in it. Especially for newborns because there's so little pee and it is somewhat important to be monitoring their urination in those early weeks. In all my years of using pampers, I've had one "blowout" that leaked outside the diaper (and her dad had put the diaper on so my suspicion is that he put it on crooked or something.) Can't recommend them enough.
Only con, is they are the most expensive brand. Doesn't deter me though, I'd rather pay the extra couple bucks and not have to replace pajamas and blankets every week with Huggies.
