More often than not, those two tend to come hand in hand. Investing in the right tools can not only save you so much time in the application process, but they also promise a great deal of savings when choosing products that can do two – or even three – things in one.

This is exactly why we’ve gone and found some of the best beauty “hacks” across makeup, skincare and even nails, to make your routine feel as effortless as your final look.

Dip Perfect Kit

from $114 (usually $139) at GLAMRDiP

While we love nothing more than the feeling of a fresh set of nails, constantly getting them done is a chore, to say the least. Which is why you’d be wise to invest in an at-home kit that gives you salon-grade manicures and helps you save in the process.

Key features:

  • Over 40+ manicures per kit
  • Lasts up to 5 weeks, chip-free
  • Just $3 per mani

Lash & Brow Growth Serum

$74.99 at Bondi Lash Lab

Another part of our beauty routine we love but could make easier is getting our lashes done. Whether that’s a lash lift, adding falsies or whatever else we can think of, a lash serum can help with that. Especially this 2-in-1 formula that serves as a lash + brow growth serum.

Key features:

  • Boosts natural lash length and thickness
  • Visible results within 4 weeks, optimal results after 12 weeks
  • Effortless application

05

Klorane Oat Milk Dry Shampoo

The secret to fewer trips to the hairdresser and having to constantly restyle your hair lies within a quality dry shampoo. The Klorane Dry Shampoo comes highly rated by reviewers, praised for leaving hair fresh and “does not leave build-up or white powder look”.

Key features:
