When it comes to your favourite beauty products, wouldn’t you love to see some dual-power action? Do you ever wish that your make-up bag was smaller, but your routine stayed the same? Well, do we have a surprise for you! We’ve rounded up some of our favourite beauty products that every girl should have, and found ways to multiply their uses! Check out our list of these everyday products that sneakily double up for maximum gain. Your wallet will thank you in the long run too!
Lip tints
The best option for keeping lips simple is a lip tint, and now this product gets even better! Lip tints use lightweight gels and water-based dyes to stain the lips for a rosy shine, but blend a few dots into the apples of your cheeks, and you’ll find yourself with a natural-looking flush. A few clever brands have picked up on the dual-trend with Benefit Benetint, ModelCo CHEEK + LIPS and MeMeMe Cheek & Lip Tint, however most lip tints will do the same job. Keep this one stashed inside your handbag for sneaky touch-ups throughout the day.
Conditioner
So we all know conditioner is used on your hair, but that’s all it’s good for, right? Wrong! Conditioner contains moisturising properties that hydrate your hair, so it’s even kinder to your skin. The next time you’re shaving your legs, ditch the shaving cream and try conditioner instead. It’s great for sensitive skin and ensures your razor glides smoothly to avoid nasty cuts. Try Palmolive Intensive Moisture Conditioner or Dove Therapy Nutritive Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner for super-conditioning qualities.
Vaseline
Vaseline is a skin saviour! It can be used for a myriad of purposes, from moisturising dry skin and acting as a lip balm, to soothing rashes and treating nail cuticles. This is the wonder product of multi-purpose products, and once you’ve got it, you’ll find it’s the answer to so many woeful beauty bothers. Get your hands on the classic Vaseline Intensive Care Petroleum Jelly.
Topcoat
This sneaky little wonder has a few sweet uses. Not only can it be great to use before applying nail polish (to help avoid yellowing nails), but slick some on after prettying your nails up to prevent chipping. On a completely non-nail related topic, if you hate getting ladders in your stockings, I suggest you keep some of this stuff in your handbag. Everyone gets holes in their stockings, but with a quick application of topcoat, you can avoid them looking like they’ve been attacked by your cat. Our pick of the bunch is Manicare Hi-Shine Top Coat.
