By Christine Coppa

Mothers and daughters are supposed to share things, right? Clothes, makeup, jewelry? Well, my 18-month-old son, JD, and I are no Gilmore Girls--that's for sure. But, ahem, I can't help but use his goodies when he is...or isn't looking! What's in my vanity? After the jump.

 Aveeno-Baby-Calming-Comfort-Lotion.jpgAveeno Baby Calming Lotion: Rich and creamy, this sweet vanilla lotion is infused with soothing lavender for a baby soft scent that pairs lovely on a grown-up mommy on the go. That's right, slather your arms, chest and neck in this silky smooth treat and skip the perfume for a clean, subtle kick that leaves you feeling fresh-from-the-spa even when you're, um, fresh from mommy and me class. $3.99, available in drugstores nationwide, Aveeno.com






cucumber-melon-powder.jpgCucumber Melon Powder: Repeat after me: Moms need to stay cool as a cucumber when toddler throws bowl of cereal on the floor. Luckily Johnson's got the memo. This light and airy powder goes a lot further than baby's diaper. I add a clap-clap of this crisp-smelling powder with a fruity twist to my bod for an invigorating burst of energy and kiss of freshness all day long. (That's All. Day. Long.) $4.29, drugstore.com






7th-wipes.jpgSeventh Generation Unscented Baby Wipes: Gentle enough for baby's bum, this cottony soft wipe is braided with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E and is the new makeup remover. Yep! Seriously, people. I swipe my face clean every now and then for a fool-proof way to outsmart smudgy, won't budge mascara and eyeliner. It works. It refreshes. And the vitamin E does wonders on my chased-my-toddler-around-the-park all day skin and tired eyes. $4.67, drugstore.com 

Your turn: What baby products do you use? (No shame!)
