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.

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.

All products from Juice Beauty contain worry-free, organic ingredients.
