(SPOT.ph) Having friends as an adult means you don’t get to see them often no thanks to packed schedules. Ad on the list of people you always plan to meet up with but never get to, is that one friend who’s always girl-bossing—or heck, maybe you’re that friend. This is that person who never has time, much less leisure time to go to beauty salons to pamper themselves or get glammed up.
For that last part, it’s worse when there’s an occasion, especially if we're talking the upcoming Christmas parties and reunions (and you really hope to see them this time, too). If dragging them to the salon has been on your sketchpad since forever, we list products below to help them doll up almost instantly. No need to head out; You can just apply these at home. Some of these take some getting used to, but once you know how to apply them, it’ll be as easy as pie. Don't let your friend have any more excuses.

Sugaring Cold Wax 150g (P225) from Strip It!
Want to wear a sleeveless top but can’t because you haven’t had your underarms waxed yet? Shaving should be your next bet, but it really damages the skin. Your next lifesaver is this sugaring wax from Strip It! The brand has one of the best all-natural sugaring kits on the market. It removes hair from the roots and it lasts up to four weeks. No need to heat it up.
Eyeliner Stamp (P279) from Katipuneras PH
Let’s be real, there are just days when your eyeliner wings are not giving. It takes too much time trying to perfect them. Apply, erase, apply—it’s an endless cycle. Eyeliner stamps are your best friend. This one from Katipuneras PH gets you two stamps away from achieving the perfect wing. They’re waterproof and long-lasting, so you don’t have to worry about reapplying them throughout your event. It’s also ideal for those not blessed with eyeliner skills, just like this writer.
Hair Curler (P268 from P1,500)
If you’re on TikTok, no doubt you’ve seen this hair curler floating around on the platform. This cute hair curler can get you natural mermaid curls in a minute, with two barrels designed in an S-shaped curve that allows you to sandwich sections of hair to curl rather than roll around. It heats up within 45 seconds so that’s less waiting time for you. And, as a safety precaution, it is equipped with a 30-minute automatic power-off function should you forget to turn off this tool when you're in a rush.
Lip Mallow Tint (P599) from Happy Skin
Happy Skin’s Lip Mallow Tint is their best-selling product and for good reason. One is because it’s multipurpose, you can use it on your lips and cheeks, which is ideal for when you need to freshen up on the go. You won’t need to go through or carry your entire makeup bag, you just need this compact lip product and you’ll be good to go. Take note when you’re applying it on your cheeks; you need to blend it quickly as it tends to dry down fast.

Press On Nails (P299) from CLAWSdotCOM
Nails can be an accessory, so your digits need to be clean and pretty. Granted, applying polish by yourself as well as going to the nail salon can be time-consuming. Your friend's a busy bee, after all.
If you want to get beautiful nails in no time, press-on nails are your go-to. CLAWSdotCOM has plenty of luxury nail designs to choose from, but if you want to keep it simple yet elegant, then we suggest these nude press-on ones.

They can keep it always smelling fresh and looking shiny with Vitress’ Hair Freshener. It comes in handy when you’re going to meet up in a samgyup place, too! Your hair is your crowning glory, after all.
