11 Hacks For Staying Fly On The Go

When you're expected to be at 5 different places at once, don't forego your routine — reach for Unbound™ cordless styling tools so you can get on with your day and look flawless while on the move. #UnboundBeauty

1. If you don't have time for that post-work mani, spruce up natural nails with a toothbrush and some whitening toothpaste.

Yep, you read that correctly, just a dab of toothpaste can brighten and clean your nails to give you that fresh-out-of-the-salon look; perfect for when you can't make it to your go-to mani spot. Finish up by swiping some cuticle oil on them for a healthy-looking sheen.

2. Pack some cotton swabs in your purse to fix pesky makeup mistakes.

Around the middle of the day, you might notice your makeup has decided to shift from its original placement: Eyeliner has made its way over to the inner corner of your eye, lipstick has smudged beneath your mouth. For a quick refresh, take a cotton swab and some water, and take charge of the inevitable.

3. Don't leave the house without a cordless styling tool to touch up unruly hair.

If the weather has gotten the better of your hair, or if your down 'do is facing its afternoon slump, upgrade your look from anywhere with a styling tool that's conveniently cord-free. Pack one neatly in your handbag for on-the-go styling any time of the day.

4. Prolong your perfume by applying unscented body lotion pre-spritz.

If you know you've got a full-day commitment ahead of you, start off by using a fragrance-free lotion. It keeps your skin moisturized and will help lock in the scent of your favorite perfume more effectively than if you were to spray it onto dry skin.

5. Carry your makeup essentials in contact lens cases.

Instead of lugging around your full-size foundation or setting powder, store them in a clean contact lens container. They hold the perfect amount to keep with you for midday touch-ups.

6. Save your bronzer from cracking in transit with cotton pads.

There's no worse sight than opening up your favorite powder-based product and seeing it broken up into little pieces. That goes for your blush, highlighter, compact, whatever it is, keep it in one piece by placing a round cotton pad inside the container for some extra cushion.

7. Transport your must-have makeup tools in a spare sunglass case.

Having the correct tools to apply your makeup is almost as crucial as the makeup itself, so keep small to medium-sized brushes in an extra sunglass case for easy and compact storage.

8. Let dry shampoo work the night shift to freshen up second-day hair.

Got an early start and don't have time to wash your tresses? Catch some extra Z's by spraying some dry shampoo at your roots before you go to bed. The product absorbs excess oil while you sleep, so you and your hair can wake up refreshed.

9. Condense your cosmetics by investing in a multitasking product.

When one is better than three: Swap blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick for a multipurpose color stick. Apply it to cheeks, lids, and lips, to save room in your bag for other on-the-go essentials.

10. Don't splurge on pricey blotting sheets, search the kitchen supplies for a quick fix.

Seriously, items like coffee filters have the same paper qualities as those fancy sheets you see at beauty stores. Snag a couple from your office kitchen and gently blot away excess oil buildup.

11. Give yourself a makeup-free makeover.

If your skin is a looking a little lackluster by 4 p.m., lightly spritz some hydrating mist across your face to achieve that afternoon-into-night glow.
