This Blithe Pressed Serum Set is Ah-Mazing for Dry Skin
When I say that this pressed serum changed my life, I’m being totally serious — it’s that big of a game-changer. Think of it as a small bottle of lotion that goes a really, really long way. I only need a small dot to hydrate my entire face, and it even helps fade dark spots as it moisturizes. I particularly love the Gold Apricot, since it’s made with 31% apricot fruit extract, it’s absolutely rich in skin-brightening antioxidants.
This Self Tanner is So Natural-Looking
You know how you usually have to put on self-tanner then wait around for half an hour while it dries before you can get dressed or touch anything? No more with this b.tan pre-shower self-tanner! Just apply nine minutes before a shower, then rinse off the excess and you’re left with a believable, long-lasting tan.
Target Fine Lines, Puffiness, and Dark Circles With These Eye Patches
​Eye patches have quickly become my best friend. My dark circles are permanent at this point, no matter how much sleep I get (thanks, genetics).

Keep on for 10-15 minutes, and you will be shocked to see the results.

This Korean Sun Milk Goes On Like Water
K-Beauty knocks it out of the park for being affordable, innovative, and extremely effective!

The 100% mineral formula goes on like water, absorbs immediately with no white cast or residue and has a high SPF.
The perfect solution to dry and damaged hair
I snagged this hair serum treatment last month, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The treatment comes inside these biodegradable capsules that dispense the perfect amount of serum for each use.
Not only am I happy about the progress my hair has made while using these, but I also love that they are small enough to take on the go.
A Brush That Distributes Scalp Oil From Root To Tip
Scalp oil tends to accumulate at your roots unless you’re using a boar bristle brush — like this one.

And unlike some boar brushes, this one has 70% boar hair to 30% nylon bristles. Who knew that the right hair brush could make your hair healthier?

Zap Pesky Wrinkles With This Retinol Cream
Wrinkles are a fact of life after a certain age, a much lower one than I originally thought when I was in my 20s and not using SPF religiously as I do now.

Plus, there’s even a built-in level to make sure you don’t cut yourself crooked.
This Sunscreen That Helps Calm Blemishes
When I say that this sunscreen is the Cadillac of all sunscreens, I’m not kidding — it really does anything you could ever want sunscreen to do. Zinc oxide works to help calm blemishes, rosacea, as well as any discoloration from sunspots. And not only does the oil-free formula feel seriously light on your skin, but it’s also safe for sensitive complexions.
This Liquid Eye Shadow is Perfect for Days When You Want a Flirty Makeup Look

And since the suction strength is adjustable up to five levels, it’s even suitable for people with sensitive skin. It’s legitimately one of the most satisfying experiences ever.
Revitalize Your Cuticles and Strengthen Your Nails With This Cuticle Oil
While it may not seem like a big deal, dry and cracked cuticles can lead to brittle nails and rough hands.

Just look at the 80,000+ reviews. Here’s hoping it can fix my rock climbing damaged hands.

I recommend one for your car, another for your makeup bag and one for home.
Stop Dark Circles Before They Can Appear With This Eye Repair Cream
Dark circles will be the bane of my existence (thanks genetics). No matter how much sleep I get, I look like I just pulled an all-nighter. I’ve tried my fair share of under-eye creams, but the eye repair cream is heaven-sent. With three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid, you’ll notice you look more awake after just a couple of uses.

Treat Yourself To After-Sun Care
Life at the beach requires a couple of really important things: Patience with tourists and a really good after-sun moisturizer. I love this body butter (I love anything that’s called body butter, to be honest) from the sun gods themselves at Hawaiian Tropic. It has a delicious coconut fragrance and a slew of ultra-rich moisturizing ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil, and coconut oil.
A Facial Spray Made With Soothing Aloe
Got caught in the sun for too long? Don’t worry — this facial spray is made with soothing aloe that feels great on burnt skin. Green tea and cucumber give it a refreshing touch, and you can even use it as a toner on post-cleansed skin. It makes me feel like I waft freshness in my wake.
Beauty In The Eyeshadow Of The Beholder
Eyeshadow palettes are all the rage, and they vary in price from cheap to crazy expensive. This one falls squarely in the middle, requiring only half your $25 gift card, and has 19,000 stellar reviews. The “Exposed” offering includes colorful rose gold and royally dark browns for shimmery natural and dramatic glamour looks. Reviewers compared it to the much more expensive Urban Decay alternative, but far easier on the wallet.
I Use This SPF Moisturizer Every Single Morning
If you apply any exfoliator or skincare actives during your skincare routine, wearing sunscreen is imperative. Rather than buy a sunscreen that you wear separately from your moisturizer, why not combine the two? I wear this SPF moisturizer from La Roche-Posay every single day, and I love it. It’s super hydrating without being too heavy, and it wears well under my makeup.
Get Soapbox Brows With This Eyebrow Soap Kit
​I, unfortunately, was born with pretty thin eyebrows. And it’s all about the full fluffy brows these days. So I do what I can to fake it any way that I can. This eyebrow soap kit adds thickness, volume, and texture to your brows in seconds. With the small angled brushes, it’s super easy to achieve the bushy look. Plus, the spoolie allows you to brush them out once you’ve got the desired look to blend for a more natural look.

This is especially helpful for anyone with fine, thin hair or even toddlers. Or me, who just acts like a toddler when it comes to my hair.
There Are So Many Pretty Colors to Choose From in These NYX Eyeshadow Palettes
I’ve got the Brights version of this eyeshadow palette, and the colors are to-die-for! If you want something a little more suited for daily use, the Cool or Warm Neutrals palettes are a great choice. Lunar New Year and Phoenix look amazing, too! Each palette has 16 different colors to play with — some matte, some satin, some glitter. Buyers rate these 4.6 stars.
A Lip Balm With SPF36 Protection
Nothing ruins a kiss more than dry, chapped, or sunburnt lips (you know what I’m talkin’ about) — so use this lip balm to keep your pout feeling soft and kissable. SPF36 protects you from the sun’s damaging rays, while 5% hydromanil delivers moisture deep into your lips. Plus, it’s even water-resistant for up to 80 minutes.

Just apply it before your sweat session and watch for instant results, according to happy reviewers.
A Multistick For Lips, Cheeks and Eyes
I’m always looking for ways to simplify my getting-out-the-door routine. I stumbled upon this HAN Skincare Multistick and was immediately impressed.

These are great for tossing in a bag to give you a one-stop option that’ll make you look super pulled together.
This Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation Is the Solution to Oily or Shiny Skin
Choose from 40 shades in this medium-coverage liquid foundation that offers a smooth, poreless look with a matte finish. One Amazon reviewer calls it the “Holy Grail” of foundation. Another says, “it doesn’t settle in wrinkles, and it has great coverage… not too heavy and not too light.” I’m certainly sold.
This Replenishing Face Mask Is All You Need
This face mask is my everything. Its gel-like consistency is so hydrating, leaving my skin feeling smoother and more rejuvenated. The best part? It smells like fuzzy watermelon candy and I can’t think of anything better than that. Cannot recommend this one enough.
This Liquid Exfoliant Is My Skincare Holy Grail
A skincare routine starts with a good exfoliator. It gets rid of dead skin cells and helps unclog pores. The Paula’s Choice leave-on exfoliator is gentle enough for everyday use and has been linked to healthier skin, improved skin texture, and smaller pores. When I say I’ve never added something to my cart as fast as this one, I’m not lying. Now I use it every single night, and my face looks as fresh as a daisy.
