For When I Have 30 Minutes To Get Ready

30 minutes...

Yes. 30 minutes.

Some of you might be totally cool with that, throwing on your ankle boots, flicking that eyeliner, all good. But not me. Total disaster. I need at least an hour and a half, you know? I like to take my time, hate rushing, it's just not my thing. Gets me all stressed out and tired, especially in the morning! So, in today's post, I'm gonna spill how I handle those crazy 30 minutes and still manage to look put together.

For when I have 30 minutes to get ready

5 minutes shower 

I usually hop in and out of the shower in 5 minutes. It's all about multitask, you know? While I'm in there, I'll brush my teeth and take care of business too. I've got this stash of shower gel in my bathroom, not sure how it multiplied! But my favorite is the Lux Magical Spell shower cream. It smells amazing and sticks around all day.

Choose the simplest and fuss-free outfit

I skip the hassle of ironing my clothes. Seriously, who's got time for that? A dress, jumpsuit, or anything one-piece works just fine. Boom, problem solved. While I'm in the shower, I hang up my outfit and my anti-wrinkle hijab. Easy peasy. Nobody needs to know I rolled out of bed half an hour ago. #NoShame

Go for the simple and fresh makeup look

I stick to a simple makeup routine. It's a must if I don't want to be late. Even with just 30 minutes, I can't skip a touch of lipstick and maybe some mascara to feel put together. So, I skip things like primer, foundation, and eyeliner.

My go-tos when I'm in a hurry are CC Cream, loose powder, blush, mascara, and MAC's Velvet Teddy. Simple. Easy. The secret is the mascara. That's what really makes the difference! Don't believe me? Try adding some coats of mascara to your lashes now.

Eat on the go

Girl, gotta have snacks or I'll be a grump, haha! I always make sure to grab something to munch on because I know my days are gonna be long. Oatmeal cookies or an apple are my go-tos!

  5. Lenne ni macam tahu-tahu je haritu fatin terlajak tidur, bangun lambat nak ke kerja haritu. Yang penting fatin akan pakai pakaian yang tak perlu nak iron. Tudung pun :D Tapi fatin tak kan keluar rumah kalau tak pakai lipstick. nanti muka pucat macam orang sakit je.

  9. I take a pretty short shower, pick a simple outfit and wear a very minimal makeup and simple hijab style or I will do it everything in the car (except shower) if I really really don't have so much time. Haha 😊

  10. 30 mins is good enough for me to get ready. 5 mins shower ( maybe less than that ), choose easy outfit (yg tak payah iron), iron tudung je dan pilih tudung bawal. Hii
