If there’s one thing that I love, it’s a good shortcut. Now, I’m not lazy. I’m just efficient. There’s just so much that goes into being a girl that you have to find some time-saving hacks somewhere because no one has time for all that! Beauty makes you feel feminine, but time is precious. So read on for some great tricks for all those holiday get-togethers, rushed mornings or just wanting to save a few minutes.

Feminine Beauty, Fast!

Double Shot— Anytime you can get a product that doubles as two, don’t pass it up! Check out multipurpose lip and cheek color that really pack a one-two punch in a time crunch!

Fake It Like A Pro— Pair a little bit of dry shampoo with a quick blow dry for a quick spruce-up when there’s no time for a proper hair wash.

No Appointment Required— No time for a salon mani? A gentle cuticle push, a few swipes of a quick drying polish and a lightning fast top coat is a million times better than showing up somewhere with raggedy fingertips or old, chipped color.

A Sexy Lip Trick— Never have lipstick on your teeth again! Just insert your index finger into your mouth and close your lips around it after applying lipstick. Then slide your finger out. I have been doing this one since high school!

Cracking Up— Have a cracked eyeshadow or blush? Save it from the trash heap with three or four drops of rubbing alcohol. Let it absorb, mix it and then pat it back into a flat pile.

Get A Grip— That dry shampoo we talked about earlier helps also helps when it comes to keeping bobby pins in place. Just spritz them with dry shampoo or hairspray and let them dry to add more ‘grip’ when you use them. And don’t forget to insert your bobby pins wavy side down for the best hold.
