Do you have a minute? That's about all the time women need with some new beauty products good housekeeping recommends. 

Beauty editor, Alyssa Hertzig says, "polishing your nails takes a lot of time because you have to balance the bottle and you have to get everything just right, but companies now are coming out with nail polish in a pen, and they're so much easier to use, so your whole manicure will take just minutes." Nicole by OPI, also known as Nic's Sticks Paint & Go Nail Lacquer is a great product for a woman on the go. "Two products that we really love are the Nicole by O-P-I Nic's stick.  We love those because they just have these fantastic colors and the brush is really, really fantastic.  Another one that's great is Sally Hansen color quick that actually dries in a minute.  So that's another time saver right there." The Nic's Sticks costs $7.00 and the Sally Hansen Color Quick costs $8.00.

Clairol Perfect 10 by Nice 'n Easy is another good choice. "Perfect Ten by Clairol promises to cut down on that 30 minute wait that usually takes for your hair dye to take.  So we wanted to test and see if it really worked.  So we tested it here at the institute and our testers really, really loved it.  They all found that it definitely colored their hair within ten minutes and they really liked that they didn't have that yucky ammonia scent.  It actually smelled pretty good." It costs $13.00. One tester says, "I didn't want to use a product that was going to give me such an extreme change.  At first, you know, when you first put color on, your hair's a little lighter, but then afterwards it just blends in really, really well."

Another quick choice is the Ted Gibson hair sheets. They can add shine fast if your locks are lackluster. "They come in these individual packages, so they're perfect to  keep in your desk or in your purse for sort of on-the-go touch-ups." They costs $25.00.

The last quick choice is the Burt's Bees Radiance Exfoliating body wash and the Olay Body wash plus Spa Exfoliating Ribbons. These new exfoliating body washes from Burt's Bees and Olay let you slough away dry skin and get clean at the same time.
