7 products in 5 minutes...

Hands up who hits their snooze button about 3 times before they should have already been up? Yes guilty! Which usually leaves me with a bout 30 mins to shower, change and get my hair and make up done before I need to run out the door! That’s why I have perfected my make up routine to the most minimal products whilst still looking like I have made an effort. To be honest it really is just a more ‘natural’ look, which is actually effortless to do. So here it is…

1. Bobbi Brown hydrating eye cream & Bobbi Brown corrector (I use the shade Dark Peach).

Okay I've counted two products as one but to be fair the corrector works better with the eye cream. These two products are by far my favourite products that I honestly could not live without. I could probably substitute other products in my list but I really couldn't with these two. The corrector covers my dark circles really well and lets be honest the mornings are when we have the worst cases of dark circles (well at least I do!). I promise you will hit the pan with this product. 

2. Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer (I use the shade Almond).

I prefer using a tinted moisturizer over a foundation on daily basis, its lighter and not to mention quicker to apply. This Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer has the perfect consistency and leaves my skin looking dewy (isn't that what we all want?). 

3. Sleek brow kit (in dark).

I absolutely love this product and I cannot leave my house without filling out my eyebrows! This makes such a difference to your face. The kit comes with a gel and powder setting along with a small brush and tweezers. I don't use the brush and tweezers as they are far too small, instead I use the Real Techniques brow brush which works perfectly. I apply the gel setting first and then use the powder ever so gently on my eyebrows. 

4. Urban Decay 24/7 glide-on eye pencil.

I quickly line my lower lashes with this and it glides on so smoothly and lasts pretty much the whole day. I use the shade demolition, which is a nice, natural brown colour.

5. Benefit they’re real mascara.

So I have not been using this for the longest time but as soon I run out of this mascara I will 100% be purchasing a new one! The wand is excellent and makes my lashes look so long, I don't even have to use a lash curler! The tip of the wand also allows you to get the small inner lashes!

6. Sleek blusher in flushed.

Sleek do great high street blushes and this is a great shade, it leaves me with those rosey cheeks as if you have been out in winter, which is perfect for now.

7. Mac lipstick in Mehr.

This is no doubt my favorite nude lipstick of all time. The shade is perfect for my skin tone and is also a matte lipstick which I definitely prefer. I have used this lipstick pretty much daily for the last two or so years and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

So there you have it, these are the products that I apply quickly when I need to leave my house in a rush to go Uni. The products or brands can obviously be substituted for something else like the tinted moisturizer for a powder foundation for those of you that have oiler skin (Mac studio fix plus is fantastic!). I hope this helps you get ready quicker and give you that extra 5 minutes in bed!!
