You know when you have a product that you literally use every. single. day. That one that when you run out of and kinda have a freak out moment of “What the hell do I do now!?”

I had one of those mornings last week. and I’m making peace with my freakout moment and turning it into a blog post. ;)

So what was the crucial product in my morning routine? The seriously amazing AVEDA inner light mineral tinted moisture. I am OBSESSED. So I thought I'd share a few more of my must haves.

Below are the top products that I replace ASAP when they run out.

Aveda Inner Light Mineral Tinted Moisture Broad Spectrum spf 15:

color: beechwood

It’s the greatest thing in my book. Do you have those days when you really where you are short on time to get ready, but need something on your face? This is it. Build-able coverage, but sheer enough you don’t look like your wearing a mask. SPF, good moisture, this is my base EVERY single morning. I highly recommend.

Bumble and Bumble Brilliantine:

So this is that product that just polishes your hairstyle on day one, two and three ;) (dirty hair blog post coming soon!)

This is quite versatile and can be used on curled locks needing that finished polish or a super cute short bob looking for some texture and definition. I LOVE this stuff.

How I use: Most of my clients are familiar with the fact that my hair is curly 95% of the time. I like waves and texture on me! So when I finish adding my curls I put a dime size amount of Brilliantine on my hands and work through my hair, shaping and focusing on any piece that looks frizzy or unrefined. Day two and three I repeat as needed.

This product is wonderful for those naturally wavy haired ladies who are looking for a beachy texture, just apply throughout, scrunch a bit and let it air dry!

Aveda Air Control:

This is literally the holy grail of hairsprays. I have 6 bottles in my house, you know…just in case.

What makes it so fabulous? Such workable hold and texture. You can spray and build this product into the hair and it still feels touchable. No stiff crunchy hair here! I use this on every client that allows me to.

How to use? To add definition to a voluminous blowdry, to control frizz on the hairline, add volume and hold to a beach inspired texture, tame fly-aways on the part, the list can go on.

If you are scarred from a white rain spray bottle hairspray experience, I understand. BUT this is a beautiful solution! Try it, you won’t regret.

MAC Cosmetics Dubonnet:

I am a huge fan of a good red lip. It’s a go to for when I need a pick me up or I'm in a rush and want to feel instantly put together. The color I always go back to is Dubonnet from MAC. Described as deepened claret, this color is the perfect depth of red, feeling classy and balanced. Perfect for day or night!

There you have it! A few of my can't live withouts. Do you have any products that are complete must haves? Any favorites that I may need to try? Send them my way! I’m always on the lookout for new favorites.
