    Best Beauty Products I Buy on Amazon

    amazon beauty products on amazon with text overlay

    Amazon Beauty Products are My Favorite!

    I’m pretty much obsessed with shopping on Amazon. There are millions of products to choose from plus I don’t have to leave my house…that’s really what I live for. I’m not a beauty junkie, but there are things that I LOVE using and think you should know about too. These are the things I think are the best beauty products on Amazon. 

    best beauty products that I buy on AmazonI only share things that I love and think you’ll like too. This post contains affiliate links which means if you purchase through one of these links, I am compensated. 

    Listen, I’m average. I have some great features and I have some flaws – like everyone else. I’m not sitting here, taking myself all seriously as a beauty expert. These beauty product picks are easy to use and for real people problems.

    While I love finding out about awesome products from beautiful people, their issues often deal more with insecurity rather than wrinkles or pimples.

    A few months ago I was watching Instagram Stories. And some gal was going off about how if you aren’t a beauty expert, you shouldn’t share products that you like. She said unless you have perfect skin, I’m not going to believe what you say about a lotion. And I quickly unfollowed her.

    If you have “perfect” skin, everything is going to “work” for you. I put less weight on what people say when they appear flawless (I realize that everyone has their own issues and areas of concern – I’m definitely not discounting that!). But when a fellow mom shares a product she loves for her under eye bags? Well, THAT is what I’m going to take a closer look at! 

     

    Amazon beauty products for momsIf you don’t know my history, my skin is something that has always bothered me. Acne scars made me self conscious and as you can see from the pictures I’m sharing, it’s still really hard to put my face as the focus! 

    After doing several rounds of microneedling and a laser facial at Cosmeticare, my skin is SO much better! I think that’s why I’ve been more interested in beauty products lately.

    I’m obsessed with my Dermasurface products. For real, they are the best things I’ve ever used. But it’s a 4 step process, which when you’re lazy like me, is a lot! I still try to do the whole process every day. 

    These beauty products, however, are super easy to use and for a specific purpose. I find them helpful and I hope that you will too!

    Best Beauty Products To Buy On Amazon

    beauty and makeup for moms on amazon

    If you want to shop all of these on Amazon, head over to my Amazon Influencer Page to my Busy Mom Beauty List.

    Skin Care on Amazon

    Patchology FlashPatch Rejuvenating Eye Gels for Puffiness, Tired Eyes

    I’m not a mask gal, but an under eye patch is something I can tolerate. These are perfect to use before being in photos or before a special occasion. I really do think they help to de-puff. 

    Patchology FlashPatch Hydrating Lip Gels to Moisturize Dry, Dehydrated Lips 

    Just like the eye patches, these Lip Masks are so great for dry lips! I’m trying to do these once a week. 

    Rael Hydrocolloid Acne Pimple Healing Patch 

    I’m super lucky that my breakouts have finally slowed way down (I am over 40 after all. Sheesh). But I love these for the few times a month a pimple tries to pop up! 

    Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

    This Drying Lotion is very similar to a product a dermatologist gave me when I was young and it works really well. You dab a little on the pimple to help dry it out. You can do the same thing with rubbing alcohol but this is pink and way cuter. 


    Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid

    I make sure I use oil-free makeup and creams for my sensitive skin and this eye gel is awesome. It’s refreshing and I think helps with the look of the skin around my eyes, you know, old lady crepe-y skin.

    Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream

    Every. Single. Night. It goes on feeling really thick, like you won’t be able to touch anything without sliding right off of it. But it sinks in SO fast and my kids comment all the time about how soft my hands are. Plus this is really inexpensive! Such a great value! 

    SETZ Blot and Translucent Powder 

    I’m super low maintenance during the day because I work from home but on trips, these are so great to keep in your bag for fast touch-ups. They are individual packets so you don’t lug around a whole compact which I love!

    Premium Chest Anti Wrinkle Silicone Patch for Your Decollete

    I haven’t used these patches yet, but this is a trouble area that I have been worried about lately. I’ve been using my face cleanser on this area but I think it could use a little more TLC! 

     

    NOW Solutions Tea Tree Essential Oil

    I love Tea Tree Oil for pimples also. I use a cotton swab to apply it (keep your dirty mitts off your face.) It helps dry out the pimple and I find the smell really soothing for some reason! 

    Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Cream for Stretch Marks and Pregnancy Skin Care

    I used Palme’s Cocoa Butter religiously when I was pregnant and didn’t get any stretch marks on my belly. Success, but I’ve gained a little bit of weight since then and now have stretch marks on my buns. Ew. This doesn’t make them go away, but I like to think it helps them from getting worse. 

    Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream Travel Size 2.5oz

    So This Bum Bum Cream, well, I actually don’t like it. I just couldn’t handle the smell. You will feel like you are on a tropical vacation where you fell on top of a vanilla cupcake. It’s not for me. BUT this is super popular right now and people swear by it. So if you need a little help with your bum bum, this cream might be for you (it’s on the expensive side so try out the travel size to make sure you like it).

    Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub

    Before a trip where I will have to be in a bathing suit, I take an extra long shower and rub myself down with this Frank Coffee Scrub. I do it a few days before I get my spray tan and that is how I prep for a swimsuit. :) I really think that this coffee scrub helps to plump up your skin and make stretch marks and cellulite harder to see. You can also make your own DIY coffee scrub for cellulite but sometimes I’m lazy so I buy this one. 

     

    My favorite amazon beauty products

    Hair Products on Amazon

    Not Your Mother’s Hair BLONDE MOMENT Leave in Conditioner

    This leave-in has such a good price point and I love that it doesn’t weigh my hair down. Plus this one is great for blondes. It’s part of my daily routine and I love being able to order it on Amazon so I never run out. 

    Verb Ghost Oil – Smoothing Moringa Blend + Weightless Hair Oil

    I love a good finishing oil and this is my favorite. You only need a little bit but it is the perfect last touch when you’re doing your hair. I use this every time I straighten my hair to help tame the fly-aways. 

    Sun-In Hair Lightener, Lemon

    I’ve shared this tip before in my beauty hacks post, but I love to use Sun-In to stretch out my highlights, especially during the summer. Yes, I feel like I’m 12 again, but it does the trick. 

    OUAI Texturizing Hair Spray

    Best Ever! This one holds the shape of your style but also is great for texture. If I feel like my hair is flat at the end of the day, I just use some of this to give it a messy, textured look. It’s a little pricey but I LOVE it! 


     

    Aveda Texture and Styling Tonic Spray

    For years I’ve tried to find a salt spray to bring out my natural waves, but I could never find one I liked. This Aveda Texture Tonic adds wave without being as heavy as most salt sprays I’ve tried. 

    ORIBE Finishing Spray

    This finishing spray adds the lightest touch of shine to your finished hair style. It’s like angels sprinkled the perfect amount of fairy dust on your head. And it smells good! It’s pricey but lasts for a long time. 

    Kerastase Discipline Maskeratine Smooth-in-Motion Masque

    Even though I don’t use heat tools on my hair every day, I still like to put a mask on my hair about once a week. This one is so hydrating and smells amazing. 

    BRAZILIAN BLOWOUT Acai Deep Conditioning Masque

    I get a Keratin treatment about twice a year. They are the best for helping me to fight my frizz and make my hair dry faster (I use a Groupon to get a better price!). I try to do this around vacations so getting ready is easier. This Deep Conditioner is SO good! It makes my hair feel so smooth and helps to make the Keratin treatment last longer. It’s expensive but you only use a tiny bit each time.


     

    best hair beauty products on amazon

    Premium Life Spring Grip Straightening Comb

    Because I hate burning my hand when I straighten my hair. Like, literally, life saver!

    Kitsch Spiral Hair Ties

    I decided to try out these hair coils when I put my hair up so I wouldn’t get those dumb ridges in my hair. And they work really well! I wouldn’t use this when I work out because they don’t hold really tight but I use these every day.

    Soft Fleece Headband for Washing Face, Pack of 6

    My broken baby hairs are so annoying! If I don’t wear a headband when I wash my face my hair gets matted to my face. It’s real cute. I just keep these in my drawer (and one in my travel bag) so I don’t want to tear my hair out just from washing my face.

    Geometric Hair Clips for Women

    These are so cute and easy to throw in your hair when you want to feel put together but are lazy. 


     

    amazon beauty products on amazon to buy right now

    Nail Products on Amazon


    I LOVE these dumb nail stickers! I hate painting my nails and then having to wait until they dry all the way. And I hate how gel wrecks my nails. These are easy to apply and great for when you want your nails done on vacation (regular nail polish chips on me after literally a few hours). I try to go for the ones with the smallest print so, on first glance, they look more like a color than a pattern.

    Makeup For Moms

    amoore Makeup Beauty Sponge Makeup Blender 

    I use a beauty sponge every day to apply foundation. I think it helps the foundation go on so smoothly. I really love how the legit Beauty Blender works but they can be pricey. These are good enough. :)  

    Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Facial Blotting Sheets for Oily Skin

    Why do I have to be so oily? These are great for taking the shine away. 

    Maybelline Makeup Instant Age Rewind Concealer Dark Circle Eraser Concealer

    I LOVE this concealer. I usually add this at the end of my makeup routine. It brightens the under eye area and helps the dark circles look a little better. Because dark circles can be so hard to cover! 

    Maybelline Expert Eyes Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

    Best. Ever. This is the remover I’ve used for the last 25 years. It’s not oily and helps the makeup to come off smoothly. I always have a backup bottle of this so I never run out. 

     

    NYX Professional Makeup Mega Shine Lip Gloss

    NYX has such a great selection of lip glosses and they are inexpensive. I love to look at the designer brands but my wallet thinks they are overpriced. I’d rather spend that money on wine. :) 

    Maybelline New York Fit Me! Concealer

    This is another part of my concealer process. They have all kinds of colors to choose from and it goes on really smooth and doesn’t settle into the creases. 

    Vaseline Lip Therapy Tins

    Rosy Lips are the best! I love these little Vaseline tins. They make your lips feel amazing and the Rosy Lips, in particular, give them a hint of pink. It’s a great everyday wear.

    Sally Hansen Air Brush Legs Medium Glow

    I only use this leg tanner in very specific instances but I really like it. It gives great, even coverage and isn’t too orange. The only problem is that water takes it right off. I wore this in Palm Springs once and a drop of water fell off my iced tea and I had one spot on my leg where the color came off. BUT…it didn’t come off on the sheets. So use your best judgement.

     

    the beauty products I buy on amazon

    Misc. Amazon Beauty Products

    C.O. Bigelow Lavender and Peppermint Shower Gel

    The smell of this shower oil is intoxicating! This comes in a 3 pack which is fine since you will want to never run out or it makes a perfect gift. This is the only shower gel that I use and now never want to be without it.

    simplehuman Lighted Makeup Travel Mirror 5″ Round, 10x Magnification

    My mom was very generous and bought this makeup mirror for me. It’s amazing. I don’t use it all the time but it’s so good for getting things handled in the beauty department. You know, for things like plucking and trimming. Plus it’s small enough to take with you on vacation in case the lighting isn’t great.

    Finishing Touch Flawless Women’s Painless Hair Remover

    I use this a few times a week to remove my mustache. We all have them. Don’t judge. I shared this before in my summer beauty post and I’m still using it and pushing it on every friend I know. It’s that good. I’m too much of a sissy to wax so this is a way for me to make sure my upper lip is presentable.

    Finishing Touch Flawless Brows Eyebrow Hair Remover

    I don’t have the eyebrow version of my favorite hair remover yet but I really want it! My eyebrows are out of control and could really use some help. I have blond hair so they’re hard to see but I think it helps my eyes look a little more open when I get rid of the fuzz.



    You know I love Le Labo and you can find a few of their products on Amazon which is awesome! I love a good prime shipping situation! This Santal scent is so good. And since my kids figured out they like it too, I need to restock!
