These double-duty beauty buys will change your life

Save big money and time! - by Kelly Baker
  • 21 May 2019

Look good, feel good. It's that simple really.

But looking good can take time and time can be very, very hard to come by in today's rush and tumble times.

Given that, we're pretty excited when we happen to come across beauty products that save us precious minutes because they perform more than just the one job.

Here, a quick run down of our current favourite multitaskers, what they're good for and why we love them like we do. You ready? We thought so. Let's go!

Oh how we worship this product. Why so much love?  Well, it's perfect on the lips for starters and thanks to it's chunky crayon-style design it's easy to apply on the run. Even better, you can use it on cheeks too. Simply swipe on and blend with fingers and you're good to go.

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturising Lip Colour Balm, $37.

Moisturiser is a must - obviously. But choose the right one and you can use the excess on your palms (let's face it - there's aways some) as an emergency leave-in hair moisturiser.

Apply to skin and then run hands through hair from roots to tips. This will also smooth fly-aways and is terrific for those with dry and / or damaged hair.

SWISSE Blood Orange Brightening Daily Moisturiser, $20.99.

Vaseline

Vaseline is perfect for pretty much everything. Use it to comb through your brows so they look groomed and then, apply just a touch across the upper eyelid.

You can do this over the top of eye-shadow for a sweet, modern sheen or, onto bare lids for a fresh, youthful look. Of course Vaseline is perfect for chapped lips, noses and even hands.

Vaseline Lip Therapy Lip Balm Tin Rosy Lips, $4.99.

Kelly Baker has been a beauty director for more years than she cares to mention. She loves mascara (but not the clumpy kind) and has spent much of her life hunting down the perfect red lipstick. She's found it by the way! Kelly loves black eyeliner but is yet to master the cat eye. She has hope though - one day she will crack it.
