7. Rosebud Salve
This iconic tin holds the cure-all for dry, chapped lips and diaper rash. Toss it in your purse and take it everywhere! $5 a tin.
8. Blax hairbands
Your hair seems to be in a perma-ponytail these days. Whatever you do, do not reach for a scrunchie! That's like admitting defeat. Instead, tie your hair up with one of these discreet hair elastics. $3.50 a box.
9. Pssssst Instant Spray Shampoo
You haven't washed your hair since last Monday? Rather than putting a paper bag over your head, spray Pssssst, the original dry shampoo, onto your roots for instantly refreshed scalp and hair sans water. $6 for 4 ounces.
10. Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Root Touch-Up & Highlighting Pen
Dark roots only look good on Madonna. Touch yours up in between salon visits with this genius little hair coloring pen. It comes in five hair-matching shades and washes out the next time you shampoo. $23.
11. Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream
No time to blow dry? Apply a dime-sized amount of this wonder cream to wet hair and let it air dry. The olive oil formula fights frizz and leaves behind a lovely shine. $20-$27.
12. Instant Button for Jeans
Squeezing into your old jeans can take some time. Instead of shopping for new sizes, use this handy button to make your pairs tighter or looser. It fastens onto the waistband of your jeans, either to the right or left of the original button, and voila — a perfect fit! $15 each or $25 for two.
13. MAC Quick Dry nail polish
A fresh mani and pedi can make you feel like a new woman. Use MAC's no-fail quick dry so you can get back to baby business ASAP. $11.
