27 Quick And Easy Beauty Products For Lazy People
A bottle of Touch in Sol's reviewer-beloved No Poreblem Primer because who has the time or patience for frequent makeup touch-ups throughout the day?? Not only does this help minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines for a seamless look, but the lightweight and non-sticky formula will give your face a smooth base to help your makeup apply evenly and last longer. (One reviewer said her makeup didn't budge for a 12-hour work shift!)
A bottle of Elizavecca's collagen coating hair treatment to help restore damaged, over-processed locks, without having to book a trip to the salon. Just let it sit on your hair after shampooing for 5–20 minutes, rinse, and you'll notice results (shinier, softer, "Why didn't I try this sooner?" results).
Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer so no one will know you were up until 4 a.m. watching every episode of Forever...again. It blends quickly and easily with the help of a handy built-in sponge applicator — say goodbye to under-eye bags, and hello to a more efficient makeup routine.
Or CoverGirl's TruBlend matte concealer — it's lightweight with a matte finish, and it works to soften the look of under-eye bags, dark circles, or other blemishes you wish to cover up. The results have multiple reviewers saying that they don't even need additional foundation when using this! And we love having one less step in our routine.
Essence's Lash Princess mascara to give you a nice, dramatic lash, because sometimes that's all you need to feel fabulous. More than 250,000 reviewers swear by this cruelty- and paraben-free, budget-friendly mascara (and I'm one of them)! It's less than $5 (the price of a latte), it's lengthening, volumizing, and way easier to apply than fake lashes. What else could ya ask for?
Or E.l.f's tubing mascara that's flake- and smudge-resistant, while giving you major length. Yup, go ahead and cancel that expensive lash extension appointment. And reviewers especially love how easy it is to both apply and remove — a lazy makeup lover's dream.
A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen to help you quickly remove stains caused by coffee, soda, smoking, and more. Simply twist the bottom of the pen, apply using the soft brush tip, and let it sit for one minute. "Alexa, play 'My Shiny Teeth and Me' by Chip Skylark."
A quick-drying top nail coat for those who love a fresh mani, but can't ever seem to avoid smudging a nail (or three). This will have your paint job dry in under two minutes — no lamp necessary. Plus, it's chip-resistant and helps your manicure last longer.
Glossier Cloud Paint to effortlessly add a bit of color to your cheeks. It's natural-looking and easy to blend, yet buildable so you can add some dimension to your lovely face, even if you prefer to have a more low-maintenance makeup routine.
Or BYO Blush Oil that'll easily blend on your cheeks and react to your skin's pH to provide you with a natural-looking shade of rosiness. It's made with plant-based ingredients and can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines.
A bottle of Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint for a bold lip that'll last all day long. This is perfect for my lazy peeps who don't want to reapply lipstick all day long. And the precision applicator will help to ensure it's applied smoothly and evenly on the first try.
An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges you can use to flawlessly (and easily) blend your foundation, BB cream, powder, concealer, and more. These have been known to give Beautyblender a run for its money 👀 — and when you're getting FIVE of them in a pack, you can afford to be a little lazy and simply use a new one the next day if you haven't washed the previous one yet. (Be honest, we know you're probs not washing your blender daily anyway.)
A convenient eyeliner stamp so you can create the perfect cat eye without having to redo your entire eye look about five times before finally getting those wings even.
Maybelline's Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil that'll help you achieve defined, natural-looking brows in ~seconds~. Just shape your brows with the precise teardrop tip on one end and blend them out with the spoolie brush on the other end. Ah, low-effort perfection *chef's kiss*.
Or an eyebrow styling soap kit, which is a waterproof, clear pomade that can give your brows some volume and hold them in place. Just give your brows a brush of this stuff and you won't have to worry about them again for the rest of the day.
A Briogeo leave-in conditioning spray formulated with coconut oil and argan oil to help all hair textures minimize frizz for up to 48 hours. Just spritz your hair with this for added shine, smoothness, and a pleasant scent. This reviewer said it made combing their curls easier, too!
A foot file so you can scrape off the dead skin and calluses to make your feet soft and smooth again, without the time and money it takes to go get a pedicure at the salon. It's sandal season, baby, and your feet will totally thank you for this under-$10 investment.
A set of dermaplaning razors for gently removing peach fuzz, stray hairs, and dirt from your face and making it feel smooth as a baby's bottom — without causing pain or taking up a bunch of your time. With this simple tool, you won't feel like you need to spend all that time, energy, and money going to get waxed or threaded as often.
A bottle of Mane Club 10-in-1 leave-in spray, which basically does it all in one small bottle — it conditions, detangles, provides heat protection, prevents breakage, hydrates, smooths, softens, controls frizz, boosts shine, and strengthens locks! *takes a breath* DANG, that is a lot!
A pack of self-adhesive eyeshadow shields that'll catch fallout while you apply your eye makeup, giving you a nice, clean under-eye that you don't have to try to clean up afterwards.
A Revlon dual hair dryer and brush to assist you in getting the perfect blowout in *half* the time. More than 390,000 reviewers have given this reliable (and extremely efficient) hair tool a 5-star rating. Yes, it's That Gworl. And unlike other hairdryers, this can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume ~lift~, and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries.
A super-soft MakeUp Eraser so you don't have to spend forever scrubbing your face off and irritating your skin at night. If one of your least favorite things about wearing makeup is taking it off, then this is what you need. One side of the cloth uses microfibers to remove *all* of your makeup with only water, and the other side can be used to exfoliate.
An easy-to-use cream-to-powder eyeshadow stick, which is highly pigmented and available in matte, shimmer, and metallic shades. It'll glide effortlessly over your lids for a gorgeous, minimal effort look that's SO much quicker than fiddling with multiple different brushes and palettes. And it's waterproof and crease-proof, so you won't have to worry about it getting messed up throughout the day.
A popular detangling brush because it'll easily glide through your hair and remove knots swiftly, without making you cry in the process. It's a pro at detangling both wet and dry locks, people with sensitive scalps adore it, and the super compact shape makes it convenient for throwing in your bag (very helpful if you're someone whose hair seems to knot up when you simply turn your head too abruptly).
A L'Oreal illuminating moisturizer to give your skin a beautiful natural glow that'll make you feel ~radiant~ even if it's the only thing you put on your face in the morning. It's infused with glycerin and shea butter for all-day hydration.
Eyeshadow color removal sponges that'll save you from getting yesterday's dark purple eyeshadow on your lid when you were going for more of a natural golden look today. Although we do highly recommend cleaning those makeup brushes, we all get a little too lazy to do it sometimes — so allow this handy sponge to remove the old pigments in a fraction of the time between washes.
Bonus: A Lay-n-Go cosmetic bag to make clean-up a ~breeze~ when you're in a hurry to get out the door. The get-ready process can be a messy one, but now you can just scoop up your mess in a jiffy with this genius bag.

This is a battery-operated, spillproof system you can easily slide into jugs of milk, water, and juice so your little one can simply serve themself without calling for you to come down and help them (or worse, attempt to lug the huge carton of milk out of the fridge and ultimately end up spilling it onto the floor).

You can carry it like a cute purse as you walk down the street and scroll through the 'gram.

The last thing you want, after all, is to sit through yet another lecture about how to properly clean the floors. An attachable Stanley Cup snack bowl perfect for your "girl dinner" nights, lounging with the latest edition of the Fourth Wing series. Trying to balance both a large plate of snacks and your oversized Stanley is too much of a hassle for your relaxing night at home — this'll keep everything you need all in one place.

37 Affordable Alternatives To Expensive Brands
A tinted lip balm reviewers confirm is just as good as Clinique's $25 "Black Honey" — but you'll get two for just $9! You can stow one away for later use or even bless a friend with your bounty. A long-sleeve bodysuit in a deliciously soft fabric — known as Smoke Cloud — that reviewers compare to Skims. They say it washes well, too, so you can count on it being high quality despite the deceivingly low price! Elizavecca's Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment — it works just like a hair mask to repair your locks in five minutes flat. The ceramide 3- and collagen-packed formula repairs all types of hair, whether you've got over-processed tresses or 4c hair that's susceptible to dryness. Reviewers even say the $8 product is comparable to Olaplex No. 3! An affordable luxury-scented candle sure to win over fans of Le Labo's $90 Santal 33. Jasmine, oud, sandalwood — this has it all, and reviewers say it has a super strong (but not overbearing) throw. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are comparable to Lululemon Align Joggers — but for less than 30 bucks, so you can girl math two more Pilates classes into your weekly budget. Billion Dollar Brows Eyebrow Powder if you absolutely adore your Anastasia Brow Duo, but you're trying to cut down on the cost of cosmetics. This buildable formula fills in gaps to give you a fuller, yet completely natural look. A popular checkerboard throw blanket that's garnered comparisons to Barefoot Dreams' much more expensive option. Since you're saving so much, you might as well buy one for your couch, one for your bed, one for your guest bed...

Halo Glow Liquid Filter — a $14 alternative to Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter — with a hyaluronic acid- and squalane-infused formula that will beautifully blur pores and leave you dewy and radiant. A Simple Modern tumbler if you're looking for an option that will keep your drink cold for hours on end, and don't really care about the name brand. 🤷♀️ It also comes in a bunch of pretty pastels and checkerboard prints, sooo it's really a no-brainer. A set of aesthetic wrist and ankle weights that look a whole lot like Bala Bangles, but will ring in at half the price. You can use 'em on a power walk, at Pilates, or just while you do chores around the house — it may seem simple, but wait until you're putting away dishes in overhead cupboards for a couple of minutes... A sunrise alarm clock reviewers say is super comparable to Hatch's as it offers seven nature sounds and slowly wakes you up over the course of 30 minutes by mimicking a sunrise. A faux-leather bag that can straight up pass for Polène's Cyme.

Similar to its pricier counterpart, the mist employs hypochlorous acid to fight off irritants and target all sorts of skin woes from acne and rosacea to eczema and dermatitis.

Slingback heels for anyone leaning into their timeless French fashion era. What can I say? The French know what they're doing and these Chanel-inspired heels are a no-brainer. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks — an affordable alternative to Aritzia's TNA line that'll still deliver a low crew cut and cushioned design that ensures all-day comfort.

A longline sports bra that reviewers swear by as it offers loads of support, isn't see-through, and its quality is on par with much more expensive options from Athleta and Lululemon. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation — a worthy alternative to Dior's (discontinued 🪦) Airflash. This two-piece airbrush foundation and kabuki brush delivers a lightweight, buildable, flawless finish. Reviewers say a little goes a long way, too, so you don't have to worry about the spray-on formula going too fast.

A dazzling cubic zirconia ring that looks *just* like the one you've seen on the hand of many a celeb and influencer — but for $10. Just keep it away from water (and maybe don't wear it to Solidcore classes if you sweat a lot), and you'll get your money's worth. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks for just $10 (!!) if you've been hesitant to drop $$$ on a singular Laneige lip mask. A CZ tennis bracelet that — according to reviewers — can pass for real-deal diamonds, especially when incorporated in a sparkly stack.

It can be worn alone for a subtle look or layered over other lip products for a full glam moment. An Amazon Basics 6-quart Dutch oven people compare to budget-busting versions from Le Creuset, Staub, and Lodge. Cutting costs here means you can invest more in ingredients! A floral cottagecore rug or mat that — for the first week, at least — will have you staring down at the floor in awe. Reviews compare it to Rifle Paper Co. options, but note that the price is way more palatable! A set of cylindrical wineglasses that'll make you feel R–I–C–H even if you're just throwing back some Two-Buck Chuck. These babies may be from Amazon, but they're totally giving Crate & Barrel. And a set of amber glass soap dispensers guests might mistake for Aesop, but they won't run you over $40 a pop! Fill 'em with your products of choice and get ready for loads of compliments!
