Emily from The Jacksons Shares Her Beauty Routine

So many of you ladies enjoyed Emily's guest post on how to have style when you're a mom that I asked her to come back and tell us a little about her beauty routine. Please welcome Emily from The Jacksons, as she shares her favorite beauty products and insights into her daily routine.

What is your beauty philosophy?  Do you like to try new looks a lot or do you tend to stick with a signature look?

I believe that all women are beautiful. I also believe that makeup should enhance your natural beauty, not cover it up. Basically, makeup shouldn�t be taken too seriously.  With my makeup I tend stick to the same basic products. I figure if something is working, don�t change it. I like to play with my lip color and eye shadow depending on the occasion. For a formal occasion I love adding � lashes.  They add a bit of glamour without being over the top. 

What is your skincare routine like, morning and night?

I wash my face morning and night with THE best facial cleanser around. Its called Vital C and it has changed my life since I started using it. After I wash my face I use the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer.

What are your favorite makeup products and what products do you use daily?

• Bobbi Brown bronzer
• YSL highlighter pen
• MAC duo fiber face brush for foundation

You have really beautiful hair!  How do you style it?

Thanks! I love my current style because it is so easy and only takes me about ten minutes start to finish. I just blow dry it, not any special way, and then I curl it with a 1.5 inch size curling iron. I will do a tutorial on my blog on Friday on how I curl my hair so stay tuned!

What are your favorite hair styling products and shampoos/conditioners?

• Pureology Perfect 4 Platinum Shampoo and Conditioner
• Pureology Miracle Filler

When you are short on time, what's your go-to look to look polished but in less time?

If I am in a rush I throw my hair in a ponytail, add mascara and my YLS sheer candy lip balm (#9) and I�m off. 

Thank you for sharing some of your beauty tips and tricks Emily!  You can go visit Emily over on her blog to follow her entire beauty series this week!

Emily on How to be a Stylish Mom

I first discovered Emily's blog, The Jacksons, through her sister Rachel, who blogs over at Pink Peonies.  I immediately followed both sisters---they've definitely got a style gene going on in that family!

I thought it would be fun to have Emily guest post since she is a momma to a sweet little one year old girl, Capri. I realize a lot of my readers are probably moms so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to showcase how moms can remain stylish even through the challenges of being a new mom---especially now that we are getting into Fall and there are a lot of fun trends to look forward to.

It's no secret that my husband and I have always wanted a family, and seeing all of the stylish moms in the blogosphere gives me hope that I too will dress stylishly through pregnancy and beyond, whenever that happens. Here's what Emily had to say about her style as a mom---she will definitely be one of the moms who will inspire my own style one day!

How has your style changed from before you had a baby?

My style really hasn�t changed since I had my baby. I have always liked functional, classic, and simple pieces that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. 

What are a few essentials every mom needs in her closet to remain stylish after having a baby?

My favorite pieces in my closet right now that are functional yet cute and essential are:  

• Cute and comfy flats---my favorites come from J.Crew and Zara. I also love a great wedge.
• Comfortable and versatile Skinny Jeans that have some stretch.
• A Graphic tee or sweater, they are easy to throw on and can be a mom�s best friend. 

What trends are you most looking forward to for fall?

• The wine and berry colors are classic and feminine. It�s my new favorite color for fall. 
• Lots of layers.
• Delicate details, such as bows. If a piece has a bow on it, I�m sold!
• Animal print, It can add a little extra something to any basic outfit.

What is your go-to look when you have to run a quick errand but still want to look cute?

My go to look right now, for running a quick errand is a graphic tee, cute jacket, and flats. If I am really not feeling like getting dressed up or I don�t have time, you can usually find me in my Lululemon workout clothes.
