busy moms

The 2024 school season is in full swing–and if you’re like most moms, your mornings are a flurry of breakfast-making, lunch-packing, and last-minute homework checks. But while you’re making sure the kids are ready for the day, your beauty routine doesn’t need to fall by the wayside! With just a few quick adjustments, you can be out the door looking refreshed and confident, no matter how busy your schedule is.


Morning Routine Made Simple


Mornings can be hectic, but looking polished doesn’t have to take much time. Here’s how busy moms can make the most of those precious minutes:


  • Tinted Moisturizer with SPF: A lightweight tinted moisturizer not only hydrates your skin but provides just the right amount of coverage and sun protection (yes, SPF is important all year round). Think of it as your all-in-one beauty solution! 

  • Mascara for an Instant Pick-Me-Up: Sometimes, just a quick swipe of mascara can transform your entire look. Boost your results the night before with MaxeyLash, which helps keep your lashes long and luscious with regular use. You can look wide awake and refreshed in no time—even if the morning coffee hasn’t kicked in yet!

  • Multipurpose Makeup: Save time by using products that do double duty. A lip and cheek tint can give your face that quick flush of color, brightening your whole look in seconds. Perfect for those school drop-offs where you need to look put together, but don’t have the luxury of time.

Beauty Hacks for Time-Saving


As a busy mom, maximizing your time is crucial. Here are some hacks to get the most out of your routine without spending too much time in front of the mirror.


  • Dry Shampoo for the Win: If washing your hair feels like a luxury you don’t have time for, dry shampoo is here to save the day. It freshens up your roots and gives your hair a bit of extra volume in seconds. Look for a lightweight formula that doesn’t leave a powdery residue so you can quickly spray, brush, and go.

  • Mastering the Claw: When you're pressed for time, a trendy claw clip can be a lifesaver. This quick and easy hair tool can make you look effortlessly stylish and put together! Plus, it’s perfect for moms who don’t want to spend time curling or blow-drying their hair every morning.

  • Minimal Makeup Bag: Streamline your makeup kit to just the essentials. A concealer to hide dark circles, a brow pencil for definition, and a tinted lip balm are all you need for a fresh, natural look. Keep these items in your bag so you can apply them on the go if needed.

Multi-Tasking Products for Maximum Impact


For busy moms, finding beauty products that multitask is key. Here are a few of our favorites:


  • MaxeyLash for a Natural Boost: With daily use, MaxeyLash helps condition and strengthen lashes, so you can cut down on the need for mascara. Your lashes will look fuller and healthier even on makeup-free days.

  • A Bronzer That Does It All: Bronzer isn’t just for summertime! You can use it as a monochromatic eyeshadow, blush, and to add a bit of extra color to your face. It’s the one product that does it all and will have you looking sun-kissed in minutes.

  • MaxeyBrow for Naturally Defined Brows: If you don’t have time for brow pencils or gels every morning, MaxeyBrow has you covered. This brow serum promotes healthy brow growth, so you can wake up with naturally defined, fuller brows without the need for heavy makeup.

Juggling a busy schedule doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice feeling good about yourself. With these time-saving beauty hacks and multi-tasking products, you can streamline your routine while still feeling confident and polished. Small steps can go a long way in keeping you looking and feeling your best—even during the busiest of days!
