25 Amazon Products That'll Cut Your Morning Routine in Half

I can’t begin to count the number of hours I wasted styling my wavy-borderline-curvy hair when Kitsch’s satin pillowcases were right there. I finally jumped on the bandwagon a few years ago and wore my pillowcase out to the point that its seams were not only busted open but fraying, too. Thanks to these pillowcases, I've gotten 30+ glorious minutes back to my morning routine. - Megan C.

When you're staring down the barrel of another work week, the last thing you need is to make sure lunch is ready tomorrow morning. These bento boxes are a must-have if pre-work cooking slows you down. They have two good-sized compartments that keep foods separate, and they're totally leakproof and airtight so food stays fresh.

One of our favorite night owl hacks is to sleep in the clothes you're going to wear the next day. As Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime performance proved, Y2K pants are back and these ultra-comfy high-waisted flared yoga pants are where it's at.

If you put the long in long locks, late mornings are a godsend. But on those days when you've hit snooze one too many times, these spiral hair ties come in handy. The no-pull design lets you create versatile styles in seconds.

I have tried other gold eye patches, but I think the addition of caffeine to the grace and stella eye patches set them apart. When applied they do make my under eyes feel cool and hydrated, and the cool tingly feeling lasts far past the patches being removed. They do come out of the package quite wet, and I find they slip down and I'm having to readjust them a few times, so I find it best to sit and relax while they are on. They will become a staple in my morning routine. - Shannon W.

Why waste hours behind a blow dryer and curling iron when you can style your hair in your sleep? These heatless curlers are specially designed to give you vivacious Victory Rolls overnight. These might not be your grandmother's curlers, but they'll work just the same!

I was super excited to try this product. I’m always looking for a better alternative to things I use every day, and one of them is dry shampoo. I loved that it was organic and wasn’t an aerosol. It also had a really nice natural smell of lavender. The only thing about this product was that it is hard to use and apply. You have to keep it upright to dispense the product as you are squeezing, and it’s hard to get it in the right spot in your hair. Also not much comes out, and I have very thick hair, so it takes quite some time to get the desired result. I think it would maybe work better for someone who didn’t have very thick, coarse hair. I do still really like it, though, as it is a better option when I need it. - Jamie F.

Don't have enough time to shower before work? No problem! Keep yourself feeling fresh for days with Lume’s whole body deodorant. It’s the smell-slaying invisible cream you wished you’d known about sooner. Aluminum-free and hypoallergenic, you can wear this all day, every day without breaking a sweat.

This overnight lip moisturizer promises smoother, softer lips, and my experience supports that. I do like that it comes with a small applicator, so you don't have to put your fingers in the pot. A little bit goes a long way for me. My first attempt, I scooped out a generous amount, and it was far too much. I am overly sensitive to tactile feelings, so that was an immediate no for me. It was sticky and uncomfortable, and I immediately had to wipe it off. I did try again with a very conservative amount, and it was so much better. It lasted on my lips all night, and I did wake up with softer, hydrated lips. It has become part of my nightly bedtime routine. - Shannon W.

Practically being born with dark circles means I’ve had to make peace with their constant presence over the years. But the puffiness that always looks the worst first thing in the morning is something I refuse to accept. I’ve tried $90 eye creams with fragrances and formulations so strong that they my eyes AND my nose hairs burning.

But TruSkin’s depuffing eye cream does a better job for a fraction of the cost. There’s no noticeable fragrance and is so gentle on my eczema-prone skin. It’s been a part of my morning routine for weeks now, and I don’t see it getting swapped out anytime soon. - Megan C.

If you’re chronically late (like us) then you need a lightning-fast option to your lengthier makeup routine for those snooze-heavy mornings.

Another great early-morning hack is to only do something once, and Wonderskin’s viral lip stain means you won't have to reapply your lipstick after breakfast. The color swipes on blue and fades into a long-lasting stain in various pinks, reds, and nudes. Simply apply, let set, swipe away, and voila! You have a color that will last through breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I love, love, love this little egg poacher. It has totally transformed breakfast for me. I love poached eggs for breakfast, but I don’t have a ton of skill when it comes to poaching myself. But with this little cooker, all I need to do is add water to the well, add eggs, plug it in, and walk away. I get perfectly poached eggs every time. Yum! - Karen F.

If there’s one thing about me that never changes, it’s that I love breakfast food but hate cooking in the morning (or at all really). This shelf-stable bacon grease has recently rocked my world. Pop a spoonful of this stuff into the pan and you have delicious oil to make mouth-watering scrambled eggs in. It’s shaved a ton of time off of having to make bacon and wait for the pan to cool just to enjoy a robust & flavorful egg and cheese biscuit. - Megan C.
