My Six Clean makeup Must Haves
my five minute makeup routine

My clean five-minute makeup must-haves will help you streamline, simplify, detox your makeup drawer, and get you out the door or video conference ready in no time. 

Is your makeup drawer looking more like a junk drawer or do you just want to learn how to simplify or clean up your current routine?

I’ve got you. My clean five-minute makeup must-haves are exactly what you need.

This was where I started a little over three years ago: with a drawer and a couple of makeup bags full of toxic products. I wanted a fresh start with safer, cruelty-free products.

Since I am not a patient person, once I make a decision I go for it. I knew I wanted to get rid of all of my toxic products so I needed a way to replace them quickly.

To get a jump on my toxic makeup overhaul, I started my quest for clean beauty with a set.

I needed help choosing colors and products, so this was the perfect solution.

I said goodbye to lead, heavy metals, parabens, synthetic fragrances, formaldehyde, and more and Hello, to REAL beauty when I chose Flawless in Five: six bundled products perfect for anyone looking to simplify and/ or switch to safer products.

I have added a few items here and there and switched out powder blush to cream and add highlighters and bronzer from time to time, but I still use these clean five minute makeup must haves as the basis for my daily routine.

Checkout my tutorials here.

Tossing out countless half-used, toxin-filled products from my overflowing makeup drawer and simplifying my routine was so freeing.

It takes me less than five minutes to “apply my face” now.

Here’s how it works:

Five minute before and after!

My clean five-minute makeup must-haves include these six products:

  • foundation
  • concealer
  • blush
  • eyebrow gel or pencil
  • lip color
  • mascara

Here are the products I use in order of application:

If you are not interested in the flawless in five set I started with, each product is available individually as well. Just click on the links to read more about the products.

  • SKIN TWIN FOUNDATION I wear Light 230 and I apply it with the Better Blender for an amazingly smooth finish.
  • SKIN TWIN CREAMY CONCEALER I wear light 1.
  •  BLUSH I wear guava.
  • BROW PENCIL or Gel I use the light.
  • BEYOND GLOSS LIP GLOSS I love so many of these and am wearing Black Plum below, but I wear Bare Shimmer and Dahlia most.
  • LENGTHENING MASCARA

That’s it!

My six clean makeup must-haves get me looking flawless in less than five minutes!

    Ahhhhh Asa! Don’t know if you’d remember me, from 26th Street, New Orleans! My little girl was Bridget (47) and your Mom and I were fast friends!
    We did stuff together and you and Bridget played well together! In 1974, Chris was born and your Mom made him a beautiful quilt!
    We kept in touch for years after you moved back to Texas, then lost touch! We reconnected a few years ago 🙏🏻😘! Oh, low battery, later sweet girl!!!
    XOXOXO JILL Casey

I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory of course) which includes baking a bunch of chicken breasts, steaming several heads of broccoli, and making a pot of brown rice.

Every two weeks I’ll make clean muffins or bread for breakfast to shake things up a bit. I usually have a protein shake or a few scrambled egg whites and a banana or a piece of Ezekiel 7 sprouted grain bread (gluten free) as toast for breakfast, but sometimes I crave a baked good. 

When I have a muffin (or two) or slice of bread, I add a couple of scrambled egg whites on the side to make sure I have enough protein. 

➡️I’ll link to the recipes for these banana chocolate ship muffins and banana apple bread in my stories. 

Do you meal prep on Sundays as well?

🥳🚌🧑‍🎓💪🏻New year, new semester, 🥳🚌🧑‍🎓💪🏻New year, new semester, many new students, and feeling really well today.
My rosacea is even behaving. 🤣

I did go back to an anti-inflammatory diet after indulging in all the things over the holidays, so it makes sense that I am feeling better. Feeling optimistic anyway. 

🎉I don’t want to jinx it, but what a great way to ring in 2022!

❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and ❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and friends in Cooperstown, NY (and a record snowfall outside), I married my best friend and soulmate. 

I love reflecting on that day and the many beautiful memories we’ve made since then.

Our photographer was the photographer from the National Baseball of Fame and he used several antique cameras to capture our special day.

I wish you all a beautiful day filled with love and time for relaxation. 🥰

Scroll through to see some of my favorite decor over here, like our trees selected specifically to highlight our collection of @crosbyandtaylor ornaments, our Christmas card board for all of our cards over the years on top and those we’ve received from others this year below, and a little something worth celebrating: our first homemade cannoli. Thank you, @preppykitchen for the guidance. We had fun with it. 

It has been a very hard week, which I will share more about later, but we tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kiddo. 

🕊Peace be you.
