Your not the only ones who read beauty blogs :)   Check out what I found on one of our personal favorites, Self.com :

In the interest of extra sleep, some mornings we throw our hair in a bun and rush out the door with no more than a layer of sunscreen on our faces, leaving the real “getting ready” for later. The trade off? A bulging bag full of extra products. Luckily, there’s now a solution at hand.

Sleek, slim and easy to slip in a purse, beauty products housed in wands streamline our cargo and virtually eliminate the risk of spillage, making anytime use quick and discrete. No longer just limited to the basics, there’s a growing crop of beauty wands that tackle everything from tooth whitening to smoothing strands. Here are four of our favorites and what makes them so effective.

Go Smile On-The-Go Teeth Whitening Pen: As much as we love our trusted Crest White Strips, the speech-inhibiting stain sappers are best left at home. Go Smile’s ingenious whitening pen features a soft brush head that coats teeth with a thin undetectable film. There’s no food or drink for 20 minutes, but speaking and smiling aren’t a problem.

 

Full Repair Touch Up Flyaway Tamer: Smooth frizz, breakage and flyaway tresses with a reparative dose of Inca Inchi oil. Unlike most hair serums that leave our fingertips greasy, the mascara-style applicator makes for easy, no-mess touchups.

 

Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Instant Mineral SPF 45: Multi-tasking beauty at its best, this portable mineral powder is made with anti-aging peptides and backed by SPF45 protection. Housed in a retractable brush, the mattifying blend means topping up on sun-protection during the day (always a smart idea) doesn’t have to add shine.

 

Josie Maran Rapid Eye Makeup Pen: This sleek, dual-ended color pen streamlines your beauty bag by packing four Argan Oil infused eye makeup essentials into one pretty magical wand. On one end, there’s a long-wearing gel eyeliner and on the other, a mini applicator. The added bonus: The middle holds a shimmer shadow with a sponge tip applicator.
