It’s time to face your new reality. Your me-time has all but disappeared into thin air. For a good reason, of course. Snuggling up with your yummy little munchkin beats a Pilates sesh any day of the week (well, most days anyway). But you still want to look and feel like woman–not just a milk delivery service. Thankfully, there are some tried and true beauty essentials that can make every new mom feel pretty. Sometimes all it takes is the perfect lip color to make you feel whole again. Here, our picks for the 5 must-have beauty products for new moms.

1. Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal Eye & Face
There’s a little bit of magic sprinkled into the formulation of this heavy duty concealer. The secret sauce contains dimethicone, which gives it an amazing slip, allowing it to seamlessly smooth onto wrinkles and crinkles without getting stuck in the cracks. We love dabbing a couple pin-prick sized dots into the corners and under the eyes until our dark circles magically disappear.

2. L’Oreal EverCreme Sulfate-Free Moisture System Cleansing Conditioner
Washing your hair when you’re a new mom becomes a speed test. Skipping the conditioning step gives you some precious extra minutes to shave or even just breath. This sulfate-free two-in-one cleansing conditioner gets hair soft and shiny without any nasty ingredients.

3. Liquid Palisade by Kiesque
Good luck finding time for weekly manicures and pedicures when you’re a new mom! But don’t let the lack of time keep you from still having perfectly painted nails. With this genius product, you can paint a removable barrier on your cuticles and it keeps polish exactly where it should be–on your nails, not your cuticles.

4. NARS The Multiple in Orgasm
This universally flattering shimmery peach shade makes every skin tone look like it has a naturally beautiful glow. The creamy formulation eases onto skin and can be applied on eyes, cheeks and lips. Toss it in your diaper bag for on-the-go gorgeous.

5. MD Solar Sciences Mineral Tinted Creme Broad Spectrum SPF 30
Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays should still be priority number one in your skincare routine. This mineral-based SPF smooths on evenly and thanks to the lovely tint that matches almost all skin tones means you can easily apply it in lieu of foundation.

Pampering yourself while preggers is a non-negotiable. If there was ever a time to treat yourself to some beauty indulgences, it’s definitely during that hormonal roller coaster called pregnancy. Acquiring the elusive pregnancy glow is easier with a little help from some beauty essentials–all safe and luxurious, of course. Here, our pick for the 6 top pregnancy beauty essentials.

1. Butter London Nail Lacquer in Yummy Mummy ($15)
Regular manicures during pregnancy are a must. When you head to the salon, bring this universally flattering taupe-y shade from fashion forward nail brand Butter London. It has the power to make nails look effortlessly chic against every skin tone look. Mums-to-be will love the name as well as the consciously made 3-free formula.

2. Solano Supersolano 3500 Lite Professional Hair Dryer ($190)
It’s amazing how much better you can feel after a good blow-out. While we highly recommend treating yourself to as many salon blowouts as possible, we know realistically that getting out of the house becomes harder and harder when you’re with child. Invest in this cult favorite, pro-loved hair dryer in a new lightweight model and doing your own ‘do will be easier than ever.

3. Juice Beauty Lash Defining Mascara ($19)
The trick to looking wide awake even when every muscle in your body wants to go back to sleep, is applying mascara to the base of the lashes. It’s a little trick our makeup artist friends taught us when we had our first child. As with all of your beauty choices, make sure the formulas are clean with no scary chemicals. All products from Juice Beauty contain worry-free, organic ingredients.

4. Mama Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil ($38)
Your belly does some serious stretching during those nine months. Give it some relief by gently rubbing this heaven-sent elixir of nourishing oils to stave off the itchies as well as help keep stretch marks at bay.

5. Aden + Anais Mum and Bub Skin Care Extra Gentle Lotion ($15.95)
Who wants dry, cracked skin during pregnancy? Not us. Be smart and use a product that is free of phytoestrogens, parabens and any other potentially icky ingredient. This ultra-gentle lotion from cult favorite baby brand Aden + Anais is a gorgeous essential to any bathroom.

6. EOS Lip Balm Smooth Sphere in Blueberry Acai ($6.49)
There’s so much to love about these cool looking orbs of lip balm. The scent is subtle yet yummy and you’ll never lose it at the bottom of your purse. The ingredients are all-natural–no petroleum here!
