It’s summertime and for most of us that means we will be shlepping to and fro the beach or other exotic locales. I tend to overpack so coming up with ways to consolidate (as well as save some dough) is pretty crucial. You know I love my Benetint and Nars Orgasm stick but here are a few more products that are doing double (or triple!) duty:

rosebud-officialSmith’s Rosebud Salve, $5.59

It can be used for a lipgloss as most people know, but it’s also great for dry cuticles, chapped skin, and blemishes. A dab is all you need to get dry skin under control.

719_lSuperbly Restorative Argan Dry Oil, $30

This little miracle worker can be used on the body for sexy smooth skin or hair for shiny lustrous locks. Slathering this dry oil on gives a gorgeous sheen to both skin and hair.

51dSoQoeNXL._SL500_AA300_Egyptian Magic Cream, $29.95

This cream does basically everything besides your dishes. Can be used on dry skin, dry hair (or deep conditioner), burns and bites. One tub, tons of uses.

Some other on the go tricks:

  • Use toothpaste as a spot treatment for a pesky belmish.
  • Lemon juice makes a great astringent after cleansing.
  • Olive oil also works great on dry skin and hair.
  • Honey is a great facial mask for oily skin. Warm honey and apply to face after washing.
  • Mix tomato juice and buttermilk and apply to sunburned skin for after sun relief.

Safe travels, my little lady loves.

Beauty Buzz: Easy as 1, 2, 3

So, as I sipped on a soy chai latte the other day with a friend, we discussed how so many girls just don’t bother pulling it together when venturing into public. I mean, I get it, you are just running to do Duane Reade, no need for a full face of makeup and a blow out. But really? Take that scrunchie out of your hair and change out of your sweats (btw- leggings are STILL NOT pants- even when running to DR).

There are basically three things you need to make yourself look presentable: eyes, cheeks, lips.

Eyes

The wonders that mascara can do for your are immeasurable. Just a couple swipes of the wand and now your eyes are wide awake and your lashes are full (all the better to bat them with, my dear).  Take note on how much faster your prescription will get filled.

300Max Factor, 2000 Calorie Mascara, $6.29

I’ve tried them all and I always come back to Max Factor. Tried and true.

Cheeks

Whether you opt to dust your face with bronzer or dab a little pink on your cheeks, you will immediately go from looking dead to looking divine.

182789Nars, The Multiple, $37

Add some shine with this handy little stick. Can even be used on your eyelids for some color.

2160251Benefit, Benetint, $28

Get rosy cheeks in an instant with this cheek stain which also can double as a lip stain.

Lips

Top off the look with a little shimmer on your lips. Pretty basic and people will clearly want to pucker up with you when they see your pretty pout.

P44800_hero Sephora Brand, Brilliant Shine Lip Gloss, $10

Cheap and comes in a million different shades that will flatter any skin type. Summer Crush is a fave of mine.

There are enough crazy looking people running around New York. You don’t need to be one of them. Besides, you never know who you may meet while picking up some TP at DR. Just sayin…
