The modern woman juggles a million things – a career, relationships, passions and hobbies to name a few. More often than not it feels nearly impossible to find the time of day to do it all, and a few minutes of “me time”, such as a beauty routine, tends to be the first to go. Setting aside two hours every morning for your beauty routine is something that dreams are made of rather than reality. As much as we wish we could plop down and enjoy some me time in front of our vanity, we’ve got a laundry list of things to do. Save yourself precious time by creating a beauty survival kit for when you’re on the go and life is calling.
START WITH A MASK
Nothing quite screams efficiency like “2-in-1”. Get a radiant glow, soft and supple skin, and reduce the appearance of imperfections with Bioxidea’s Mirage48 Excellence Diamond 2-in-1 Mask. Use this product after cleansing and before makeup application. It’s antioxidant-rich and you know what they say, diamonds are a girl’s best friend!
DON’T SKIP THE PRIMER
Primer is one of those products that people often skip out on because they have no clue what its purpose is. In reality, primer is the holy grail of makeup products as it hydrates, soothes, refreshes, and boosts the skin while delivering a soft sheen. You can use it to improve the wear of makeup or to moisturize tired and dry skin.
FLAWLESS BASE WITH FOUNDATION
It can be super tricky to find the right foundation for your skin type, but Edward Bess Flawless Illusion Transforming Foundation makes it easy. It combines the moisturizing benefits of a cream-based makeup with blurring powders to create an immaculate complexion. If you want full coverage, but don’t want it to look caked-on, this lightweight foundation is for you.
HYDRATE YOUR LIPS
It’s extremely important to keep your lips hydrated, especially in the winter months when the weather is cold and dry. Not only does Mac Lip Conditioner nourish and condition skin, but it contains ingredients like almond oil, avocado extract, and Vitamin A and E. Sounds like a winner to us!
ADD A TOUCH OF GLOSS
No matter how rushed you are, there is always time for gloss. Add a touch of shine with Mac Clear Lipglass Lip Gloss. It has a glass-like finish and is long-lasting, which is just what go-getters with busy schedules need. It can be worn alone for a more low-key look, or over lipstick for extra glamour.
BRUSH IT OUT
One sure-fire way to look put together is to give your hair a quick brush. The T3 Volume 2.5″ round brush revives limp, lifeless hair in just a few strokes. Get extra body, volume, and cinematic shine in a matter of seconds.
EFFORTLESS STYLE
If you have a minute or two to spare, grab your flat iron and get styling. Whether you have long or short hair, the T3 Singlepass Luxe Flat Iron creates volume, flips, waves, and curls without overexposing hair to heat. It has ceramic plates that add shine and provide lasting results for all hair types.
FINISH IT OFF
For those worried about dull hair, we’ve got good news – there’s nothing salt spray can’t fix. It adds texture and builds body while restoring and repairing damaged hair. The Balmain Paris Hair Couture Texturizing Salt Spray is one of our favorites because it has a flexible hold and smells amazing. Apply to wet hair to add body and to dry hair for a rough texture.
