It’s no secret that I try a lot of beauty products. It’s a fun part of my job and a great way to discover new items. I find a lot of really great products this way. Sometimes I turn to instagram to find new-to-me products and have noticed a lot of my favorites are also super hyped on IG. Today I want to call out my favorites that I think are worth the hype.

Billie Razor

For months it seemed like every time I opened Instagram I saw someone raving about the Billie. At first I was skeptical that it could be better than any other razor I’ve used. I finally decided to order it and can say it’s everything and more. I don’t know what it is about this 5 blade razor… but it lets me extend the time between shaves. It has a charcoal casing so you technically don’t need to use a shaving cream, but I still prefer to. They even have their own lotion and shaving cream that I’m going to try out soon. Another amazing perk of this razor is once you purchase it (for only $9) you get a starter kit which is the razor, magnetic holder and two 5-blade cartridges. Then they continue to deliver four replacement blade cartridges to you for only $9 each time. You take a quiz that asks how often you shave and that helps determine the frequency of the refills.

Native Deodorant 

Right after I had Crosby I decided I needed to switch to a natural deodorant. I knew all about the dangers of regular deodorant and was ready to make the switch. I first tried a few different natural deodorants I found at the drug store and was not happy. I was constantly sweaty and stinky and knew I needed to find a good one. A friend introduced me to Native and I’ve been sooo happy. However, if you’re considering making the switch I should let you know that there is a detox period your body goes through with natural deodorant. When you use a regular deodorant it actually blocks  your pores from producing bacteria. So when you switch you have to go through a period of a few weeks of your body purging those toxins. Stick it out and don’t give up!

My favorite scent is the coconut & vanilla.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm

I’ve been an Elemis fan for years and have used their regular pro-collagen cleansing balm since the get go. Recently I decided to try the rose one and love it so much. I don’t know what it is but my skin feels plumper and more hydrated. I love cleansing balms as a makeup removed and this one really melts my makeup off. The scent is spa-like and I really feel like it elevates my nightly skincare routine.

Tula Eye Balms

Tula is another one of my favorite skincare lines. I have yet to find a product of theirs I do not love. Before I tried them out for myself I saw their eye balms being promoted by so many influencers I follow. When I tried it (first the rose glow) I was instantly hooked. You can wear them under or over your makeup, or even on their own! The rose glow is kind of like a highlighter that brightens you up and has a really pretty and soft rose glow to it. I love this for little to no makeup days or when I need a little extra boost. I’ve found the glow and get it eye balm to be the best for every day. It is slightly de-puffing but just as cooling as the rose one. It also acts like a highlighter but doesn’t have the subtle rose glow.

T3 Micro Curling Iron

Another item that gets a lot of IG love. I’ve used my convertible wand for a few years now and will completely back all the hype it gets. I mostly use the 1″ barrel but love that I can switch it up. Wands work best on my hair type and when I curl it with my t3 it lasts several days. Sometimes I do a little touching up as the week goes on, but I also love the more lived in/looser look. Also, t3 products are gorgeous.

Happy Friday! I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have finally spilled our big secret. I’m so grateful for the support and love this community has shown us. I was washing my face the other night and noticed I had a whole bunch of products I’ve been using and loving to share with you. It’s been awhile since I did a product roundup so what better time than now. All my current favs from the deodorant I can’t stop talking about to the prenatal vitamins I’m taking for the second time. The best part is they’re all pregnancy safe beauty products.

Kopari Deodorant and Coconut Scrub

I’m going to sound like a broken record here but I’m majorly crushing on Kopari products right now. I raved all about this natural deodorant in this post, so I’ll keep it short. I’ve even turned my mom and some friends on to it. This body scrub is also amazing. Again the coconut scent makes you feel like you’re on vacation without being overwhelming and it leaves your body so soft.

Tula Ultimate Recovery Mask

I’ve used Tula products for years and always go back to them. This kefir mask is a newer item and it’s perfect for the dry skin I’ve been getting this time of year. It’s different from a typical mask because you don’t fully wash it off. They recommend using a damp wash cloth and blotting it off and then rubbing the rest in to get the full effect.

Elta MD Tinted Sunscreen

This tinted sunscreen is the perfect base for my everyday makeup look. It’s light and evens out my skin tone without being too much and it doesn’t have an overly sunscreen scent.

La Mer Micellar Water

I love using this in the morning instead of washing my face. I’d apply it with cotton balls before my oil and lotion and feel like I’m giving my skin a bit of a break.

Elemis Marine Oil

I’ve tried a lot of facial oils and this one continues to be my favorite. I use it morning and night… especially this time of year when I’m prone to dryness. And to answer your question, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily.

Rainbow Light Prenatal & Prenatal DHA

I took both of these when I was pregnant with Crosby and started again as soon as I found out I was pregnant this time. I take them after breakfast and they don’t upset my stomach. The best part is when I notice I’m getting low I can quickly re-order on amazon and have them the next day.

Mama Mio Tummy Rub Butter

Another fav from my last pregnancy. I apply this at night after the bio oil. It smells amazing, I didn’t realize I missed the scent until I started using it again.

Bio Oil Belly Oil

I totally sound like a broken record, but I loved this last time. I went through so many bottles and think it really worked. I know they’re mostly genetic but I didn’t get any stretch marks last time so fingers crossed I don’t this time.

n:p beautiful Volumizing Spray, Dry Shampoo and Miracle Serum

When one of my favorite casual/lounge wear lines comes out with hair products that look like this I jump on them. No but seriously, can we talk about their aesthetic? I am into it. Not to mention, I’ve been using them the past few weeks and can tell they’re doing their job.

When I was pregnant with Crosby I became much more aware of the chemicals that are in most household cleaning products. I made a conscious effort to switch to more natural products because I didn’t want my house to be full of chemicals for us all to inhale. Then when she was born it dawned on me that I was using a lot of products on my body that were just as bad. I began researching clean beauty items to switch to…  and I started with deodorant.

Kopari was one of the first I found that seemed to check all the boxes. Non-toxic, aluminum free, baking soda free, odor protection, goes on clear, long-lasting (one stick usually lasts me 3-4 months)…. the list goes on. Other benefits are that it smells amazing, it’s great for sensitive skin and best of all is that it’s 100% risk free. Meaning if you buy it and don’t love it you can send it back for a refund.

However, when you first make the switch to natural your body goes through a transition period. I would say to give yourself a good two weeks to try it out. Regular deodorant contains aluminum which clogs your pores so you don’t sweat as much. During the transition your body has to learn to detox all the unnatural ingredients, like aluminum, from your body. I have friends that have switched to a natural deodorant and gotten frustrated because they were sweatier during that transition period. You really have to stick it out. Don’t be discouraged if you need to reapply Kopari a few times a day while you’re detoxing, just give it a little time.

I also think fall is the best time of year to make the switch. Your body is traditionally sweating less which makes it a little easier to get used to.

I’ve loved Kopari products for years! Some of my other favorites are this coconut melt, lip gloss, face oil, cleansing oil and face cream. This Beauty Besties kit is a great way to try out the products if you haven’t yet… and it’s a steal!

Another note, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Kopari will donate $1 for every unit sold! How amazing is that?! To learn more about #TheTruthStinks Campaign you can watch their video (linked here).
