Being a busy working mum can take its toll on your skin and especially your hands, the amount of times I clean, scrub and bleach something at the weekend is slightly out of control.

My must have items for any busy working mum.

From the steamer to the hoover, to the deck and carpets, running a family home and working full time can be exhausting and keeping a house tidy does make beauty needs harder.

Chanel compact has everything you need.

When working I have to ensure I have a full beauty survival kit in the work bag to get me through the week, these are beauty essentials that I can’t live without Monday-Friday, my go to items when I need a pick me up during the busy working week.

Must have beauty items

First on the list of my survival kit bag is a trusty notebook and a cross pen (engraved with my name), my week is full of busy work activities but also jam packed with children’s activities from the tutor, to swimming, school trips and PTA events, I need to make a note of everything to ensure I don’t miss anything each week.

Next is my two favourite Jo Malone products, French Lime Blossom perfume, this always transport my mood to another place and helps me feel happier and relaxed, alongside this I use Lime Basil and Mandarin Jo Malone cream, to ensure my hands stay supple and soft.

Next are my three safe Chanel products, eyeliner kit to give my eyes that open wide feeling after, face powder to cover any skin blemishes and tied looking pores and a strong bright Chanel lipstick that gives me an instant pick me up.

A busy working mum can’t survival without a survival kit.
