7 Time-Saving Beauty Products We’re Shopping for a Simplified Routine

We’re big fans of Londontown’s Kur nail concealers here at W+G, and this bubble pink color is pretty much perfect. Unlike regular nail polish, this concealer aims to—you guessed it—conceal imperfections like dull spots and yellowing. Plus, the formula includes nourishing ingredients like evening primrose oil, porcelain flower extract, garlic bulb extract, and vitamin E. Best of all, it dries quickly (time saver!) and the iridescent sheen makes nails look clean and bright, as if you just strutted out of the salon.

We’ve written about this Sunday Riley serum a lot, and for good reason. Packed with active ingredients, Good Genes lives up to its “all-in-one” claims. While lactic acid gently exfoliates and improves skin’s texture (bye bye, dark spots and fine lines), lemongrass acts as an antioxidant to protect the skin from pollutants. Toss in aloe vera and arnica to moisturize and reduce inflammation and bam—what could be achieved with three different serums is tackled with just this one.

If you don’t have time to apply makeup (or just don’t feel like it) but still want to brighten things up, this concealer from Too Faced is for you. Even though it’s a concealer, it’s as light as a serum and glides on effortlessly thanks to an entourage of hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, coconut water, aloe vera, squalane, and daikon seed extract. With 18 different shades to choose from, you’ll find the right color to cover those dark circles with ease.

If you typically use multiple tools to style your hair, blow dryer brushes can be a real game changer, assuming you love the look of a salon-style blowout. This one from Sutra Beauty detangles hair with mixed bristles and uses infrared and ionic technology to dry and style hair at the same time. The ceramic and tourmaline barrel comes in two different sizes (2-inch or 3-inch) and four color options. Plus, this pick is much more affordable than other blow dryer brushes we’ve seen.

Want to skip the styling tools altogether? This spray from Drybar will help you achieve beachy waves without the heat. While many other wave sprays use salt to achieve that day-at-the-beach bounce, Seashore Spritzer swaps the salt for sugar to avoid drying out hair. The formula also uses a pliable polymer blend for texture, plus it includes sea kelp and pineapple extract for a healthy dose of antioxidants and minerals. Just scrunch into damp hair and let your locks air dry into tousled waves. Did we mention the coconut smell is absolutely delicious?

Hair masks, face masks, foot masks—they all have one thing in common: time. If your hair could use a big drink but you’re not up for the sit-and-wait portion of a deep-conditioning sesh, a leave-in conditioner is a great solution. This leave-in treatment from Intelligent Nutrients hydrates hair with a combination of proteins, shea butter, vitamin E, and organic essential oils like bergamot, orange, and geranium. Just apply to wet hair from root to tip and let the formula get to work while you go about your day.

I know it’s good for you, but I rarely moisturize my body after showering. Not only does it take added time, but the feeling of shimmying a pair of jeans over freshly-lotioned legs? Ugh, no thank you. Luckily this hydrating, shower gel from Korres helps me skip that slippery step. The formula uses olive leaf extract, antioxidants, and omega fatty acids to avoid stripping the skin of its moisture. Just lather the wash in your hands, give yourself a good cleanse, and enjoy the feeling of dewy moisture from the second you step out of the shower. It also comes in a variety of different scents, including rosemary, honeysuckle, or velvet rose. Not a scent person? Don’t worry, there’s an unscented option too.
