As I said before, I have a very oval shaped face which would normally be a good thing, but my cheekbones are not very pronounced. I have large eyes and full lips which helps to make my face not look so long, but I my current style doesn't help. I don't have a huge amount of time to do my hair every morning, and I my hair is currently long and artificially straightened. What type of hairstyle would you suggest? I could return my hair to it's original thick, wavy state if that would help... It would just be nice to have a more polished look.

Oval faces (meaning your face length is almost exactly 1 1/2 times longer than the width of your face) are the most versatile faces.
Many different styles will work for you, as your face is considered the "perfect" shape, but no matter the length of your cut, you'll look best with layers near your cheekbones, lips or chin -- basically whatever feature you want to highlight.
Do mix up your looks with any length hair, but also try "slicked-back" styles for evening.
Don’t clutter your face with heavy bangs, or blow forward shags, otherwise your face will loose it’s shape, and will add weight to it.

I think the second one, Kristen has a somewhat oval shaped face anyway, where as the first girl's face was a tad more heart shaped.

I semi-short layered look would be very well for you and that way since it wont be that long it will not take a long time in the morning,

have your hair relaxed, and get a layered bob! it softenes your face, its very low maintence, and it looks gorgeous! hope this helps!

Cut it off altogether.
