As our lives increasingly become one multi-tasking event after another, our demand for products that share such over-achieving behavior grows. But having good beauty products that deliver two, or even three, products in one can get tricky and sometimes quality suffers over quantity. Beauty editor, Mickey Williams, managed to find some double duty cosmetics that will not disappoint.

Aveda Triple Accent Pencil in Watercress/Sundew
I saw this Aveda Triple Accent jumbo pencil and immediately wanted to use it on the darkest skinned model I could find. Not only did I realize that the cool colors melted right into the most indigo-based skin tones, but it also gave even my pale skin a pop. The watercress side was an immediate awakening for my tired eyes and the sundew shade perfected a natural blush on cheeks. This wonder stick is a must have for a quick face on your way out the door.

Global Goddess Complexion Perfection Duo


Global Goddess packs a righteous flaw-masking foundation and concealer into one super slim kit. Following the three C’s of beauty (care, coverage and concealment) it even heals as it conceals. Need I say more?

ModelCo FluidSplash 3 in 1 Foundation

Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer and 
Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer with SPF 20

When this inexpensive daily tanning marvel was first introduced, women lined up at their favorite stores only to find it sold out. From our ankles to our foreheads we had a natural bronze courtesy of Jergens, and now, they have made their Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer even better. It now comes with collagen and elastin to firm and tone your legs and all other wobbly areas while you tan gradually. And if you were worried they forgot about improving their facial Natural Glow Moisturizer, don't be. It now comes with an SPF to prevent the aging sun-rays from seeping through your golden skin and making their mark. Genius!

DermaNew Facial Rejuvenation System
DermaNew’s Facial Rejuvenation System is like a Spring cleaning tool for your face. Included you will find a dual ended vibrating brush that cleans out pores gently but thoroughly. On the other end of the brush you’ll find a soft tear shaped sponge where the (included) naturally milled corundum crystals are applied. I used this wonder tool for one week alternating the brush sides and saw a much clearer and fresher looking complexion. This tool is a multi-tasking necessity.

Carol’s Daughter Shea Butter Body Lotion in Groove


Your nose will love the soft, fruity, vanilla laced scent and your skin will love you for applying such a savior after these wacky weathered months. It’s delicate enough to apply all over, so it can double as your sugary scented perfume for the day.

Archipelago Botanicals Seduce Candle

I can only say this product claims to seduce while scenting your home. We can only hope! My boyfriend claimed the scent was warm and cozy (maybe it was already working?) while my favorite gal pal said it smelled spicy. I say, light it with caution…

Davies Gate Sweet Indulgence Gift Set in Pink GrapefruitAnd finally, sometimes the perfect all-in-one kits are the best multi-taskers. I found this sweet smelling kit to be incredibly affordable when you take a look at its "spa day" ingredients:

Take a sumptuous bubble bath and then lavish yourself in some sweet citrus body lotion. Paint your lips with the sheer ruby red lip gloss and then grab the hand lotion for moisture maintenance while you're kicking back or heading out. It really is a sweet indulgence!
