The BEST Beauty Products to Pack in Your Hospital Bag

T-minus 30 hours until little man is handed his eviction notice! I thought it would be fun to give you a peek inside my hospital bag to see what beauty products I’m bringing with me.


1. Makeup remover wipes- while I don’t see myself as one of those women delivering with a face full of makeup, these wipes are a great way to quickly cleanse your skin and feel at least somewhat refreshed. And their yummy cucumber smell can trick you into thinking you’re at the spa 😉
2. Cute headband- When I was reading lists online trying to refresh myself on what to pack for the hospital, I came across one list that recommended bringing a curling iron. Umm I don’t know about you, but I’m not about to stand in front of a mirror for 20 minutes curling my hair. This cute headband by Pieces to Peaces means I can quickly (and cutely) throw my hair up. And the print even matches a special swaddle blanket I got for baby!
3. Maskcara Clutch- not only is this my usual wallet of choice, it also fits my complete daily makeup stash (IIID foundation, lip + cheek color, eyeshadow, and setting powder), it also has an extra pouch for my brushes, mascara, and lip gloss.
4. Powder Power Brush- double duty brush I use for both blush and setting powder
5. Detail HAC Brush- used in place of the 30 Second HAC brush, its slimmer design makes it ideal for being on the go.
6. Know Your Angles Brow Brush- I use the angled end of this brush to use eyeshadow as both eyeliner and brow liner and the spoolie end to blend and tame brow hairs.
7. I Shadow Everything Brush- the only eyeshadow brush I need for a complete eye look!
8. Tres Leches- because I refuse to go even a day without this miracle skincare line. The older bottles are smaller and great for traveling!
9. Better Than Sex Mascara- it is the best mascara you will ever use. Period.
10. Lipsense Lip Balm- I put this on every night before bed and it keeps my lips feeling so good, even in the dry winter! I think it can withstand even my huffing and puffing 😉
11. Lipsense Gloss in Sand- such a pretty, barely-there nude with subtle shimmer. Super moisturizing, it will give a nice, natural look in photos. Let me know if you'd like to order any Lipsense products!

12. Stay Spray- I stole a sample I made for you guys to take with me! It doubles as a primer and setting powder to ensure I don’t have to touch up my makeup throughout the day. This is the non-SPF spray, as SPF in any product can cause flashback in HD photos.
13. Fave 4 Up for Air Creme- apply to wet hair and let air dry, this baby gives your hair natural looking waves and body.
Do you guys have any suggestions on something to bring I may be forgetting?
