When I put on my winter cape this morning, I quietly accepted the fact that the Irish Summer (what Summer??) is officially over. But unfortunately my skin and hair seem to be having a little bit of a harder time adjusting to the temperamental weather.
If you suffer the same reality, investing in a some multi-tasking bargain buys can save you hassle, hair-worries and hands that feel like paper towels. The advantage? You will still have enough change over for a hot choccie en route home.
Here are my top 3 quick fixes to invest in right now:
1. SO! Fragrance dry shampoo multi-pack
€5.99 from pharmacies nationwide.
It is always a challenge keeping your hair smelling fresh if you want to avoid washing it every day (who has the time?!) Enter SO!. A dry shampoo with a distinct bed-head beauty vibe (think Kate Moss in her hey-day).
Why its cool? Not only does it smell YUM. The packaging is also refreshingly compact and hence perfect for busy days on-the-move. When your handbag is full of other essentials like laptops, makeup and nappies, this still fits in neatly and has four gorgeous scents to choose from.
2. Dr. Paw Paw
The cult formula is used by makeup gurus the world over, making this little tube a must-have for your handbag in cold weather.
Why its cool? It can be used as a primer, cuticle softener, hand cream and lip balm. When the wind gets wild, and your skin is feeling poorly, there is no better choice among cosmetic balms.
3. Catrice Liquid Camouflage
€3.60 from pharmacies nationwide
If there are dark circles where your eye used to be, this really ought to be your next beauty buy. Dab on a little dot of this to cover up anything from blemishes to broken veins. Number 010 works a treat for pale skinned lovelies who tend to be darker in the eye area due to a thinness of skin. Now you can finally pack away those super-sized shades.
Why its cool? I always use this under my eye makeup as a quick replacement for eyes hadow primer. It’s works a treat to dull redness on the lids if your eyes are a little inflamed. (Did anyone say sleep deprived?!)
