Being a mum is a huge job, so it’s completely understandable that looking your best can often fall to the bottom of the priority list. But that doesn’t mean you should forget to look after yourself altogether. Nowadays there is a whole plethora of wonderful products that are just as good at multitasking as you are and can make looking good in a short amount of time possible. Some products can even manage to do three, four or even five tasks at once, which is imperative for mothers (or anyone) who are time poor. While sneaking off to the spa or going to the salon for a few hours may seem as unrealistic as Ryan Gosling coming to give you a foot rub, these products can help you get you one step closer to looking and feeling beautiful in a flash.
#1 SCHICK INTUITION PURE NOURISHMENTThe purpose:
To lather, shave and moisturise your legs.
The verdict:
“This shaver is great, it won’t cut you and you can use it in an up and down motion to make sure you get all the hair and moisturise your legs at the same time.” –Ann211
#2 LANOLIPS 101 OINTMENT
The purpose:
To soothe lips, dry skin and minor wounds.
The verdict:
“First I only applied it to my lips but after reading about it I tried it out on my elbows, knees and heels, which get so dry, and I totally loved it. It is perfect for winter time.” – Beautifulnightmarex
#3 CEDEL BLOW DRY FASTER HEAT PROTECTOR
The purpose:
To protect hair from heat styling while making it blow-dry faster.
The verdict:
“I have fairly thick hair and it can take ages to blow dry completely, this saves so much time even when I leave my hair to air dry. Not to mention it leaves my hair soft and silky, and keeps it straighter for longer.” – Shazeena
#4 CLINIQUE MOISTURE SURGE CC CREAM SPF30 HYDRATING COLOUR CORRECTOR
The purpose:
To improve skin tone, reduce redness, hydrate, protect and perfect the skin.
The verdict:
“The more I use this product the more I love it, with or without foundation. It’s a perfect cream that does everything it says it does – hydrates, protects, leaving flawless looking skin as my face looks and feels healthier.” – Platinum Ms
#5 FACE OF AUSTRALIA BROW KIT
The purpose:
To tweeze, colour, shape and groom your eyebrows.
The verdict:
“It can be so hard to find an eyebrow palette that can do everything. A pencil is just colour, a mascara-like wax is just wax. Rarely do we find a palette that contains wax, colour and tweezers in a compact with a little mirror – this is what we have found in the High Definition Eyebrow kit! (and it’s not impractically huge).” – SMP-kitten
#6 MIRENESSE FOREVER LIP/CHEEK DUO
The purpose:
To add colour to both cheeks and lips with the option of a glossy finish.
The verdict:
“If you guys aren’t using it as a cheek stain you are really missing out! I used it on my lips all the time and after running out of blush I popped a bit on my cheeks and was amazed at the natural flush of colour I had that lasted all day!” –Kburnie
#7 DOVE SUMMER GLOW BODY LOTION
The purpose:
To moisturise your skin while gradually tanning.
The verdict:
“This product works great, just make sure that you blend it in properly. The first time I used it I thought I’d blended it but it turned out blotchy. It looks great if it;s done right.”- Jess3
