This pearlescent moisturizer went viral on social media for being a much less expensive alternative to the cult-favorite Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, and dozens of Amazon reviewers confirm it’s a must-have. The multi-purpose formula can be used as an all-over primer that adds a soft shimmer to your skin while moisturizing with ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, and jojoba esters. But you can also wear it on its own for a filter-like effect on your skin, mix it in with your foundation, or apply it more strategically along the high points of your face as you would a traditional highlighter.

This highlighter by Anastasia Beverly Hills is like an eyeshadow in pencil form, and, when used along the bottom of your brow line, adds just the right amount of oomph to your eye makeup look.

Keep these pimple patches on hand so the next time you feel a zit brewing, you can reach for them ASAP.

They keep you from popping pimples, and the transparent look is discreet enough to wear all day long.

If you feel like your arms and legs are rough and bumpy no matter how much lotion you’re putting on, you might actually have a condition known as keratosis pilaris (or KP for short). Though it isn’t a sign of anything serious, it occurs when there’s a buildup of keratin in your hair follicles, resulting in those patches of tiny bumps that most commonly occur on the upper arms, thighs, and buttocks. To help smooth things out at home, you’ll need to exfoliate and hydrate your skin, and this salicylic acid-infused body moisturizer does just that. While a combination of salicylic and lactic acids helps to unplug the hair follicles and even out your skin texture, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and three ceramides work to restore moisture and soothe the skin.

Even if you’re just planning to sit around the house, a matching loungewear set is an easy way to instantly feel cuter.

There’s a size chart to help you find the right size, but Amazon reviewers warn that the buttons on the top and the drawstring on the shorts are just for decoration and won’t help with achieving a looser or tighter fit.

You don’t have to spend $20 on a makeup blending sponge (especially considering that you should be replacing them around the three-month mark). This colorful set gives you five makeup sponges, so that you always have a clean one on hand, but they work just the same as their more expensive counterparts: fully soak the sponge, squeeze out the excess water so that it’s damp, and apply your foundation using bouncing motions with the sponge. (You can find a step-by-step guide here for a full refresh.)

If curling wands elude you, you’re going to want to give this styling tool a try. The S-shaped wave maker lets you simply clamp sections of your hair between two heated barrels, leaving you with fuss-free beachy waves. You can work with larger sections of your hair if you want more of an undone finish, starting as close to the root of your hair as you want (the closer you go to the root, the more volume you’ll create, FYI). You’ll still want to prep your hair with a heat protectant, of course, but the barrel waver lets you choose from multiple heat settings up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can have it all with this lip gloss, which boasts a creamy, high-shine formula with a tint of color and a plumping effect. Available in a range of your-lips-but-better neutrals and colorful, cocktail-inspired shades, the gloss uses peptides and hyaluronic acid to maximize fullness by moisturizing your lips. Amazon reviewers note that there’s a slight tingling effect when you first apply the gloss, and you can wear it on its own or pair it with a lip liner in a similar shade for more staying power.

Packed with hydrating ingredients, this vegan collagen moisturizer is rich enough to use at night but lightweight enough to use all day long too.

One of the surest ways to guarantee you look good is having the proper lighting while getting ready.

Both side panels fold up to make the free-standing mirror more portable, and the lights can be powered on via USB and AAA batteries when you’re on the go.

As someone with straight eyelashes, I know firsthand how essential curling your lashes is. This stainless steel curler gets the job done without pinching your lids or tugging at your lashes, thanks to its angled shape and silicone-padded surface.

Forget everything you know about the drying, alcohol-laden toners from your teenage years. This alcohol-free version was formulated to tackle visible pores with niacinamide, a multi-tasking ingredient that not only reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, but also fades unwanted hyperpigmentation and strengthens the skin barrier. Additionally, you’ll find multiple ingredients aimed at controlling excess oil production and soothing the skin, including antioxidant-rich mushroom extract, rose extract, and green tea extract. Because the toner is alcohol-free and fragrance-free, it can be used daily by a wider range of skin types, and it’s cruelty-free and vegan, too.

For color-treated hair that’s starting to look lifeless, this weekly hair mask helps to tackle the issue from multiple angles. To prevent color fading from daily exposure to environmental factors, there’s vitamin E-rich mongongo oil, while hydrolyzed keratin and argan oil work to strengthen hair that’s become dried out or damaged due to coloring treatments and hot styling tools. You only need to leave the mask on for two to five minutes to reap the benefits, and you can apply before shampooing on hair that’s dry or mid-shower just after you’ve shampooed (and rinsed) your hair.

Available in six different shades of pink, this two-in-one blush stick acts as both a cheek and lip tint. It offers sheer, lightweight color that is buildable with a smooth feel. “This gives me a just right amount of color and glow that gives me a healthy no-make up look,” one reviewer writes. The small size and easy application make it ideal for tossing in your bag for on-the-go touch-ups.

Personally, nothing boosts my mood quite like a tan. While a trip to St. Barths might be the preferred way to get a glow, more often than not, I’m relying on a good self-tanner. This self-tanning moisturizer is the ideal starting point for self-tan beginners, as it deposits a subtle color that gradually appears over several days of use. As it imparts your bronze-y glow, the lotion also works to firm skin with ingredients like glycerin, collagen, and elastin. You can choose from ‘fair to medium’ or ‘medium to deep’ moisturizers depending on your natural skin tone, but both work the same: smooth the lotion over your skin, wait several minutes before you get dressed for it to fully dry, and wash your hands to avoid the dreaded orange palms.

If you’ve ever made the mistake of going months in between brow appointments, you know what a difference groomed brows can make to your appearance (and your confidence). Though it won’t help you if you’re in need of a wax, this tinted brow gel can fill in sparse spots and comb unruly hairs into place. Easier to use than a pencil or pomade, the gel simply needs to be combed through your brows for a filled-in finish. The formula is water- and sweat-resistant, and it also includes conditioning ingredients like allantoin, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid.

This biotin shampoo and conditioner set make a powerful, multipurpose pair.

It doesn’t get much easier than this eight-second hair mask, which is ready to be rinsed out by the time you’ve finished massaging it through your hair. The drugstore find promises to immediately turn dry, dull hair of any texture into soft and silky strands, without adding any time-consuming steps to your routine. The precision tip nozzle makes it easier to apply the essence-like formula directly to your hair, and the back of the bottle is marked with dosage indicators to let you know exactly how much product you should be using. The sulfate-free and silicone-free mask can be used as often as three times each week, and was designed to be applied after you shampoo.

Dainty stackable bracelets are so in right now, but you don’t have to drive yourself crazy trying to curate the perfect mix of chains.

If you notice that you’re going to bed with smooth hair and waking up with tangles and knots, your pillowcase could be to blame. The easy fix is as simple as swapping out your cotton pillowcase for a silk or satin option, which is prized by hairstylists and dermatologists alike for its ability to minimize friction (aka fewer knots and less frizz for your hair) and prevent moisture absorption (meaning your pricey skin care products actually stay on your skin). Silk pillowcases come with a higher price tag, but more than 200,000 five-star ratings on Amazon confirm that this satin pillowcase works much the same to protect your hair and skin while you sleep. Plus, it’s available in dozens of colors, so you can still match your pillowcases to your sheets.
