We all need some quick beauty fixes sometimes, and what's better than some all-in-one wonders to do the trick?
Why waste money on buying a whole host of products, when you can minimise your spending and still do every part of your beauty routine without compromising?
The obvious thing to address first is your make-up bag and what cheat tricks you can apply there to save some money. The cheek and lip tint has become a popular product with both celebrity and consumer alike because it's quick, easy and does two jobs at once.
Try Benefit's Benetint and Posie tint (£22.50) if you're budget is reasonably high and you're looking to half the contents of your make-up collection!
It works as a cheek and lip tint, meaning you don't have to buy both lipstick and blusher. This is much more effective too, as it's water based and 'stains' your skin for a longer period of time, so it means much less reapplying.
Women should always have a pot of Vaseline in their bag for any kind of beauty emergency, as it can tame eyebrows, gloss eyelids, highlight cheek bones and of course, keep your lips silky smooth. Vaseline pot, 99p.
Same goes with a good moisturiser, there are now some on the market which double up as a hair moisturiser too- hard to believe we know, but Lily Allen is apparently a fan of RealHair Real Finish, £18.
It's a luxury hair balm which polishes your hair, but can also be used as a body moisturiser. The soothing ingredients in the product mean it can get to work on dry patches on your skin in no time.
If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then simply invest in an all-over moisturiser that will do for your face and body, taking care to ensure it suits your skin condition.
Lastly, consider saving some time with your facial routine by investing in a two-in-one facial mask. All the major brands have bought out some time saving skin care products of late, which do the job just fine.
Try Garnier Pure 3in1 Wash, Scrub + mask for £4.99, that adapts to whatever you want to use it for. Or try Clean & Clear's daily blackhead scrub (£3.21) to keep those pesky blackheads at bay and mean not having to use additional products too.
