If you have shelves full of beauty products for every eventuality- be assured that you don’t have to live like this. There are some fantastic products out there that can cater for many a beauty need. Here are our top picks…

Minimalism on Female First

Minimalism on Female First

Coconut oil: This can be used as a moisturiser, hair mask, make up remover, cuticle softener, cleanser or a shaving oil just to name a few. Having a jar of this in your cupboard means you don’t need all the other products that are single use. So, use them up first and find out just how much you can get out of one cheap and cheerful jar of oil.

Clear nail polish: Again, you don’t need a shade to match everything you own- opt for a neutral or clear nail polish and you will be ready for anything- work, socialising and evenings out. Plus if you chip it- it’s less noticeable than a colour!

Lip and cheek tints: You don’t need to carry products for both your lips and your cheeks anymore thanks to tints. A tint will give your lips and cheeks instant colour and shine without the need for multiple products to achieve the same look.

Clear mascara: If you want a natural look- clear mascara can accentuate your lashes but also tame your eyebrows too. Why spend a fortune on mascara and brow products when you have two in one?!

Flannels: Rather than using disposable cotton balls or pads- the humble flannel can be teamed with coconut oil to remove make up at night, to give a gentle exfoliation to the face and body or you can wet it, fold it and lay it across your eyes to reduce bags and puffiness.

Why use more than you need to when it comes to beauty? Happy minimising!
