My favourite quick fix products!
Torn between staying in bed and getting up early for uni five days a week, I have learnt to compromise when it comes to makeup- my bed seems more appealing!
Here are a few of my favourite quick fix beauty products that make my mornings easier but still achieve a flawless result…
I swear by this stuff! I only really wear foundation when going out, so I needed a concealer that would cover generously and give me the same coverage as foundation. Yes, I know it's meant to be 'Heavy duty under eye concealer' but I like to apply it on blemishes because the thickness gives reliable coverage and lasts all day. It's by far the best concealer i've ever used, and what's not to like? Look at the price! It even comes with a compact mirror so it can be carried around for quick touch ups during the day.
2) Clarins Beauty Flash Balm | £29.99
Okay, so it may be a bit pricey, but the results are so worth it! I haven't used many Clarins products but my mum has relied on them for years so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I loved the effect it had on my skin, particularly after applying makeup. Softening, brightening and tightening, the cream behaves as a combined moisturiser and primer and provides a soft, fresh base for your makeup. Quick and beautiful, try it!
3) Vaseline Lip Therapy | Rosy Lips | £1.99
Surely, everybody at some point has owned a pot of Vaseline! Always reliable and does the job, the petroleum jelly provides long lasting lip hydration. But I love the Rosy Lips edition with added rose and almond oil.. not only does it smell flowery and fresh but it has an injection of colour!
4) Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm | Shade/flavour- Cherry Me | £2.99
Maybelline have developed the latest technology of lip care with Baby Lips- guaranteed to maintain 8 hour hydration and conditioning care that leaves lips feeling baby soft. I love this product, I carry it around everywhere with me! And with a variety of shades and flavours, there is one ready for any occasion! At the moment I'm using Cherry Me- tastes delicious and gives a beautiful, colourful finish to my lips- I like to lather it on top of lipstick as well to keep it lasting longer.
5) L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Pearl Powder | Shade 02 Rose Radieux | £8.99
I only purchased this the other day, and I love the results. I've been on a mission to find a powder that illuminates but doesn't give a cakey, cheap look. Lumi Magique Peal Powder does this perfectly, giving me light, natural coverage but a healthy glow for when my skin needs a little.. oomph.
6) L'Oreal Paris Elvive Colour Protect masque 300ml | £5.09
This isn't exactly something i'd use in the morning when i'm in a rush but it helps me to achieve strong colour protection, quickly. I colour my hair quite a lot so i need strong protection to keep my hair in healthy condition. Easily applied in the shower instead of your usual conditioner, L'Oreal deeply nourishes and protects hair colour, a result I saw in just one use!
7) ghd Thermal Protector 150ml | £5.99
My last favourite product is ghd Thermal Protector. Now, I don't own ghd straighteners but I wanted ghd standard heat protection, and it works brilliantly! I didn't actually buy this product, my boyfriend owned it but he doesn't even have enough hair to use it so why let it go to waste! Spraying on before blowdrying, straightening or curling, it leaves a perfectly protected, shiny finish. A quick way to achieve a healthy shine whilst heat protecting.
Good luck!
