Raise your hand if you would’ve loved an extra hour of sleep this morning. (*Insert Hermione Granger raising hand GIF here*) Yep, we thought so. Whether you are a makeup minimalist, or live for a daily face beat, it’s safe to say that we could probably all benefit from shaving a couple minutes from our morning routine. (Hey, leaves more time for beauty sleep, amirite?)
Enter your new morning must-haves. Like you, they’re expert multi-taskers and know how to get the job done — and fast. Whether it’s an all-purpose stick that can be applied as lipstick, blush, (or both!), or a gentle conditioning wash that will cut your in-shower hair routine in half, meet your new wakeup warriors. (And did we mention that they’re all under $30?) We can’t promise that they’ll make you a Morning Person™, but what we can guarantee is that they’ll make your getting-ready routine a whole lot easier.
For days where you’re in a rush — we swear we didn’t hit the snooze button — a conditioning hair cleanser like SheaMoisture’s does everything a shampoo and conditioner would in one easy step.
