DOUBLE DUTY BEAUTY
STREAMLINE YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE WITH THESE MAGNIFICENT MULTITASKERS

With all on your to-do list, carving out time to get you gorgeous can be difficult—if not downright impossible.
As venturing into frumpy-mom territory is clearly not an option (do you honestly think we’d let you go there?),
why not maximize your minutes by stocking your cosmetics bag with products that perform more than one
function? Let these double-duty beautifiers help you skip a few steps in your makeup, skin care and hair care
routines, getting you on the fast track back to hot mamahood.

La Mer’s The SPF 18 Fluid Tint		The easiest way to starve off wrinkles and uneven skintone is to wear sunscreen—every day. Using this lightweight, tinted version is the perfect way to protect your skin while providing a sheer layer of skintone-evening color. ($64, www.cremedelamer.com)
T3 Plump Heat Seeking Liquid Hair Plumper		Prior to drying your hair, spritz this onto your locks for incredible body. A bonus: it also includes ingredients that harnesses dryer heat to deliver fortifying moisturizers to strengthen and silken your hair. ($38, www.sephora.com)
Lancome Courbe Virtuose mascara		Swipe this glossy formula onto your lashes for thicker, longer, curled lashes, therefore eliminating the need for a separate eyelash curler. ($23, www.sephora.com)
SkinCeuticals Clarifying Cleanser		This cleanser not only exfoliates by gently sloughing off dead skin cells and cellular debris with smoothly rounded microbeads, but it also fights acne with salicylic acid. ($24, www.skinstore.com)
Crest Vivid White		Toss out your teeth-whitening strips and instead opt for this paste, which not only fight cavities and tartar, but also whitens your choppers and wards against new stains. The final result: healthy, clean, bright, snow-white teeth. ($3.59, www.drugstore.com)
Benefit Galactic Shield!		Got zits? In one swoop, this precision concealer will hide blemishes while at the same time healing them with its salicylic acid-packed formula. ($20, www.benefitcosmetics.com)
