I just use Dove soap as I read somewhere that's it's a really good product that can beat most of the others.

I use my lipstick as blusher and also as brow highlighter ... it's a nice rosy pink shade. (Almost never actually use it on my lips - use lipsalve on those.)

I use the DCs bath time to double cleanse, face mask, moisturise, all that kind of thing.

I get my eyebrows threaded and tinted regularly and have an lvl lash treatment, this means that in the morning, I can just put on some bb cream, use my stick of cream blush on my cheeks and lips.

I know its not strictly beauty, but I pick my outfits on a Sunday, iron and hang them up.
Mornings go so much easier when I do this.

I wrap my wet hair fairly tightly in a microfiber sports towel after washing. By the time I'm dressed and the kids have eaten breakfast, it's barely damp so easy to finish drying with a hair dryer or just style.

Ooh that's a good one butterflies, will steal that one :-)

I do some pampering while watching TV in the evenings, pedicure, moisturising, cuticle work, hair masque or whatever. Even if its just slapping on some baby oil on my elbows i make sure that I do something "beautyfying" every day.

Makeup wise I use the sticks and crayons as much as I can to save time. I apply my base at home (foundation and concealer) then do the rest on the train using sticks for eyeshadow, creme blush and lips. I also use the bobbi brown foundationstick for touch ups.

One thing I've found lately is groomed brows and a bit of lippy is a pick me up on the rushed mornings (and hardly no sleep Wink)
