Calling All Lazy Girls: These Multipurpose Beauty Products Made My Routine 10x Quicker

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

We hate clutter. We find that the less stuff we have around us easier our life is. We can relax easier in our home, we don’t have to shuffle around too many decorative objects when we clean, and we never lose anything…. sometimes. We could tell you where every single Chapstick we own is located, which is why we love it when a dress can work in multiple seasons, or our beauty products can be used in multiple different ways.

Speaking of beauty products, if you’re looking to cut down on clutter in your bathroom, want to make your morning routine faster, or simply want to do less with more, then we have the beauty products you’re looking for.

Keep reading for our tried-and-true multipurpose beauty products that will streamline your routine. And don’t worry, you won’t find any 2-in-1 shampoos and conditioners here—the horror.

JONES ROAD Miracle Balm

Bobbi Brown launched a new beauty brand called Jones Road and it does not disappoint. We have tried and enjoyed a handful of products from the line, and by far, our favorite is the Jones Road Miracle Balm. This moisturizing balm can be used all over your face for the prettiest glow. Our favorite way to use it is to dab a bit on the cheeks and the bridge of my nose for that perfect “I was out in the sun for a bit too long” look. But we also use it on our lips and eyes whenever we are rushing to get ready for class and don’t want to spend more than 30 seconds brightening our whole face up.

INNER BEAUTY Shine Infusion Lip Oil

Lip oils are majorly trending right now, and the second we heard about the concept, we were sold. Our first step into the lip-oil world has been with the Inner Beauty Shine Infusion Lip Oil, and it is the best product to throw in your bag. It acts as a moisturizing lip balm and looks like the prettiest clear lip gloss. We sometimes add it over a matte lip color to make it glossy or use a tiny amount to smooth out flyways when I’m on the go.

FENTY SKIN HYDRA VIZOR INVISIBLE MOISTURIZER BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 SUNSCREEN WITH NIACINAMIDE + KALAHARI MELON

Because we spend most days glued to our computer not interacting with people in real life, we try to avoid wearing makeup on weekdays. We never skip sunscreen, which makes the Fenty Skin HYDRA VIZOR INVISIBLE MOISTURIZER BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 30 SUNSCREEN WITH NIACINAMIDE + KALAHARI MELON the perfect addition to our morning routine. If we do run into neighbors on a walk, want to pop over to the grocery story, or need to hop on a video call, it gives us enough coverage to feel put together. On days we want to wear makeup, it offers really smooth coverage when paired with concealer or acts as a nice base for foundation. Of course, the main perk of this product is that it provides solid sun protection and is really moisturizing. It’s a one-and-done product for the days I don’t want a fussy morning skincare routine.

NATURALLY SERIOUS Sleepover Retin-Oil Nighttime Treatment

Fun fact about us: we have washed our face and done some version of a skincare routine every single night since we were 10 years old when acne first arrived on the scene. There’s no number of cocktails that could keep us from removing our makeup and washing our face before getting into bed. When we need a quick and easy routine, this Naturally Serious Sleepover Retin-Oil Nighttime Treatment really comes in handy. On nights we wouldn’t normally have the energy to add more than a moisturizer to our routine, we can reach for this treatment to also get some retinol action to help improve skin tone, fine lines, and acne.

REFA CAXA RAY

This handheld device is our new favorite addition to skincare. The ReFa CAXA RAY serves two purposes for us: skincare and self-care. After sitting at our computer all day or hitting the gym, we like to hop in the shower, follow that up with a full skincare routine, and then relax in bed while watching Netflix and rolling this device all over our face, neck, and shoulders. It’s designed to scoop and knead your face, neck, and décolletage to help visibly reduce puffiness. I find that it also feels amazing on tight neck and shoulder muscles after a long day and helps us unwind and relax.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Hollywood Flawless Filter

OK, hear us out: we were loyal to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter before it took TikTok by storm. However, believe those 30-second videos—the hype is real. We bought this insanely impressive product after the sales assistant at Sephora told us it was a foundation. When we got home, we realized it was not quite a foundation but actually something a lot more useful. This light and dewy formula acts as a subtle foundation (more like a BB cream) on the days we don’t need much coverage, can moonlight as a highlighter, and makes for a very glow primer on the days we wear foundation.

Lazy Girl’s Guide: The 5-Minute Workout For A Perkier Booty In 2 Weeks

Published on by Lee3 Comments

If there’s one emoji that summarizes our workout goals, it’s that perky little peach 🍑 because let’s be real, who doesn’t want a perky booty. The only problem is finding the time (and energy) to get it. So because dragging my ass to the gym is just too much sometimes, I put together a booty prescription that would take no more than 5 minutes of your time. This ultimate booty workout promises that after just two weeks of doing this 5-minute exercise routine daily, you’ll actually be able to see a peachy difference. And you don’t need any fancy gym equipment or weights, just your own body weight, a timer, and some tunes.

Do each of these exercises for one minute, with a ten-second rest in between. It looks easy, but trust, it’s five majorly intense minutes.

1. Wide stance squats: Make sure your feet are about three to four feet apart, then turn your toes out to a 45-degree angle, and place your hands on your hips. Lower yourself down by bending your knees. To intensify the squat, hold a dumbbell in each hand and lift it up to underneath your chin each time you come up.

2. Reverse Lunges: Start with your feet together and your hands on your hips. Step backward, keeping your stance narrow, bend your knee, lowering it towards the floor. Step back up, returning to your start position. To intensify the workout, hold a 5kg weight with the opposite hand to the leg that is being lowered.

3. Side lunges: Start with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your hands on your hips. Shift your body weight to one leg, bending your knee until the other leg is straight. Return to the center and do the same step with the other leg.

4. Donkey kicks: Start with your hands and your knees on the floor and raise one leg in a backward motion, keeping it bent at the knee with your sole facing the ceiling. Bring your leg back down, returning to starting position, and repeat.

5. Floor glute bridge: Lie with your back to the floor, with your knees bent. Keep your arms by your side with your palms face down. Lift your hips off the ground, squeezing your abs and your glutes. Raise one leg, keeping it bent at the knee, and then lower it back to the floor. Once your foot is touching the floor, lower your hips so that they’re also touching the floor. Do it again with the opposite leg.
