For me, drugstore beauty will always bring a feeling of nostalgia. When I was young, I knew not to turn down a random visit to the drugstore with my mom because that meant I'd have the chance to discover new must-haves in the makeup, hair, or skin-care aisles. Fast forward 20 years, and I'm still making a pit stop at the beauty aisles while picking up baby essentials. With the CVS Epic Beauty Event happening now, I'm excited to bag up the go-to products I like to use for a daily confidence-boosting moment. You can get thousands of hot deals on top beauty and wellness brands, trending products, exciting beauty swaps, and DIY favorites between March 12 and April 8, with new deals dropping weekly.

As a working mamá, I like to get ready early in the day as I know I won't have time later on. These are the essentials I rely on to quickly do my skin, hair, and makeup — I don't know about you, but there's something about freshening up each day that makes me feel bella and empowered.

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara

CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara

I'm a straight lashes chica, so mascara is a must if I ever want to flaunt them. The Covergirl LashBlast Volume Mascara ($12) instantly adds volume and length, which gives me the eye-opening effect I need every morning. It features a thick brush that easily coats every lash while separating them and helping me avoid clumpy lashes. Adding mascara to my daily makeup routine has become a non-negotiable when I want to exude an effortless beauty look.

L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum

L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum

As someone with dry skin, I can't stand it when my skin looks and feels flaky or tight which is why hyaluronic acid is an absolute must todos los dias. The L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum ($31) is an anti-aging serum that helps deliver intense hydration while plumping the skin, allowing me to feel comfortable and contenta on those occasional no-makeup days. It's apt for sensitive skin types and also helps to reduce wrinkles, which is something I look for these days. Knowing I'm combatting dryness while tackling fine lines makes for a true winning product if you ask me.

RoC Retinol Correxion Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream

RoC Retinol Correxion Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream

What's not to love about the RoC Retinol Correxion Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream ($27)? It's a miracle product that works to soothe the eye area while helping reduce puffiness, crows feet, and dark circles. I've been relying on eye cream for years and this one does a great job at moisturizing and relieving me from unwanted wrinkles and under eye lines. If there's one facial feature that shows signs of tiredness it's the eyes, y por eso I know best not to skip out on it.

L'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate Free 21-in-1 Color Caring Spray

L'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate Free 21-in-1 Color Caring Spray

I recently had an update to my balayage, and I'm not about to let my fresh color go brassy. The L'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate Free 21-in-1 Color Caring Spray ($14) is a leave-in product I can trust for hydrating, detangling, smoothing, heat protection — you name it! It's sulfate-free and it has a really nice fresh almond scent that's not at all overpowering. To help preserve my color, I only wash my hair twice a week and spray this all over to either refresh my strands or to nourish and detangle post shower. This hair product truly does it all.

Milani Most Wanted Palettes

Milani Most Wanted Palettes

I'm not one to do a full eye makeup look every day, but I do like to add a few sweeps of shadow along with mascara to help me look fresh and ready for cualquier cosa. The Milani Most Wanted Palettes ($11) are super cute and the perfect size for carrying in my makeup bag. I'm a fan of the shades in Partner in Crime because they're the perfect neutrals and will seriously work with everything. I can pair them with a bright lip color or another neutral and, either way, I feel like I'm ready to take on the day's to-dos.

Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink No-Budge Longwear Liquid Lip Color

Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink No-Budge Longwear Liquid Lip Color

The ultimate confidence booster for me is bold lip color, and the Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink No-Budge Longwear Liquid Lip Color ($12) in Red-Hot does the perfect job at making me feel like I can take on anything — even if it's just responding to a hundred emails (hey, that's an accomplishment in my book). I don't always have the time to keep reapplying lipstick, and this shiny vinyl color allows me to commit to this gorgeous hue for the day and forget for the next eight hours or so. It glides on smoothly and won't smudge or transfer, even while sipping water (and one-too-many coffees). I should mention it's also great if you want to avoid your mom telling you, 'pintate la boca' at some point in the day.
