Promising review: "I recently found myself away from home without my little juicy pot of Laneige and quite frankly, didn't know what to do with myself.  It's not like my lips had withdrawal (as some other formulas cause with abrupt discontinuation), but the restorative and hydrating effects of this little gem are INCALCULABLE.  It's totally changed my lip game, and upped bedtime bliss at least 20%." —Maven23

Price: $25 (available in 11 colors/scents)

Promising review: "Great product...I used it before applying my wedding guest makeup and it left an incredibly smooth canvas ready for concealer (no creasing!). It really de-puffs and hydrates, love it!" —skincarevera

Price: $24+ (available in packs of six or 15)

Promising review: "I absolutely love Ilia as a brand, and this blush reminded me why! Their products are so thoughtfully made, and I love that they’re skincare-friendly while still delivering beautiful makeup results. This blush is amazing—it blends like a dream, feels lightweight, and gives the most gorgeous, natural-looking flush. The finish is soft, and it makes my skin look healthy and radiant. This has quickly become one of my favorite blushes..." —MysteryRebel

Promising review: "I bought this yesterday and it’s already a must have for me. I’ve been SEARCHING for a body lotion/cream that leaves a long lasting scent, actually moisturizes me and gives me hydration and a glow. This is the BEST I’ve ever tried and scent is AMAZING." —averidauphin

Promising review: "This is very much worth the hype. While I hate to pay this much for sunscreen, this is only facial sunscreen I will be buying from here on out. No white cast, no burning eyes, not at all greasy and sits beautifully under makeup. It gives a soft matte finish." —Kevans727

Promising review: "Completely worth it I fear. Always hydrates. Have purchased it three times. Will make your hair super soft and silky. Best hair mask I’ve ever used." —IzzyP20

Promising review: "Just got a trial with my points yesterday and I LOVE IT! Because I have such straight lashes I’ve always opted for lash extensions but this was a dream! The curve of the brush really helped me get every lash and even my bottom lashes were a breeze." —livinabosslife

Promising review: "I think Urban Decay might’ve just became my favorite beauty brand!! This lip liner is true to its waterproof ability. Even after eating and drinking, I saw my gloss coming off, but not the liner! It has such a creamy buttery texture." —ayzixe

Promising review: "I was incredibly skeptical of this product, however after a few weeks I noticed my skin has been clearer than ever! It takes a few weeks, but all my blackheads have completely disappeared. it's not necessary for everyone's routine, it is quite a harsh exfoliant, but if you struggle with hyperpigmentation or clogged pores, it is an absolute must-have." —zoey302

Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that’s something you’re looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Even with just the first couple of days of use, my skin feels SIGNIFICANTLY more hydrated.   The smell is intoxicating in the best way. Like baked goods, but if baked goods were sexy." —kdteee

Promising review: "My under-eyes usually look like a raccoon after more than three hours even after I bake it with powder, but this setting spray is so good at keeping my makeup in place. Minimal smudges now after several hours and my base is so smooth and glowy. I love this!" —shuuuuuuyi

Promising review: "Worth the splurge!!!!! Great shades and beautiful colors. Very buttery smooth formula, and the shimmers don't fall off the eyelid! The shades blend nicely and are really versatile, that's why it's now my go-to palette! It's a bit of a splurge, but I can see using this fulfilling my 'clean and effortless' makeup looks for a long time!" —skincarevera

Promising review: "I have several Jo Malone scents and I have to say, this is unlike any of them in all the right ways! It’s fresh, has a fantastic dry down and great stay for hours. It’s a must-have, for any collection!" —Brenchoney

Promising review: "Truly my holy grail! I have been using Instant Angel since march and have noticed that my skin looks and feels softer. I’m prone to breakouts and this has never broken me out. It sits great under makeup too!" —friendlyy

Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt for a good hair oil for YEARS. My hair strands are thin and can look greasy easily, so it’s been a hunt... I applied this oil and went to sleep. The next morning, I curled my hair, reapplied oil, and my hair had never looked that shiny and healthy. Just ordered the full-size product!" —Maiasthetics

Promising review: "The hype around Wherever Walnut is 100% real! This lip pencil is popular for a reason, it somehow looks absolutely amazing on everyone. The color is so flattering and effortlessly makes your lips look more defined and polished without being too much. It pairs beautifully with so many different lipsticks and glosses, too. I completely understand why this shade has become such a cult favorite. Definitely worth the hype! 💋" —ammaneh

Price: $26 (available in 21 shades and two finishes)

Promising review: "I have pale, sensitive skin. I mix this product with my sunscreen, and it gives the best glowy, naturally bronze look! No breakouts. Its just perfect, I will repurchase it FOREVER." —beylyldz

Promising review: "The best clarifying shampoo I've ever used. It builds up to a good lather and effectively cleanses the scalp without causing dryness." —mbrush15

Promising review: "This is IT. This is my favourite makeup product I've tried in years. I'm in love with how the formula feels, and the colour and  shimmer are ao gorgeous." —Peachie2133

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for about two years, and it’s improved my acne so much. It always leaves my skin glowing and hydrated. I’ll never use a different cleanser now that I’ve discovered this one." —Sierrrraa

Price: $16+ (available in three sizes and a gift set)

Promising review: "I sat on this product for way too long. I started using this about a month ago and I use it every single day. It makes my make up last all day, no creasing etc.  I am 52 years old with combination skin and I just love it." —Lizzieste

Promising review: "This product is LIFE CHANGING!! Picked up a small sample-sized bottle as I needed to purchase something under a certain dollar amount. I saw that this wasn't only toner, but also an exfoliant. I began using it and will never go back to my old toner again!!" —veronica

Price: $15+ (available in three sizes and a gift pack)

Promising review: "I have tried many products to fill in sparse eyebrows and since 2015 I’ve been using very thin eyebrow pencils, but I always come back to Benefit. It fills in perfectly and the gel consistency stays. I feel I don’t have to add too much of a gel on top, it is the perfect color to match my hair...this is definitely a formula that I do appreciate and constantly come back to." —MOMOS2MEX

Price: $16+ (available in two sizes and 12 shades)

Promising review: "I bought this for allergy reasons but ended up appreciating how amazing it is for my hair and skin. My fine lines grow deeper when I sleep without this pillowcase, even for a day." —ladySee

Promising review: "Pretty much the best concealer I’ve ever had.  I have fine lines under my eyes and dry skin. An awful combination and I actually stopped wearing concealer because it looked really bad.  But this concealer was a game changer. I love it. It blends so easy, doesn’t look heavy and lasts pretty much all day (with the right skincare). I will repurchase until I find something better (if I ever do)." —LuciaTsai

Price: $32 (available in two sizes and 38 shades)

Promising review: "This is the best setting powder I’ve ever tried! It keeps my foundation from settling into fine lines and wrinkles, and it doesn’t look cakey at all. My skin still looks smooth and natural throughout the day." —LinettJ

Promising review: "I first tried Libre as a small Sephora points sample, and as soon as I smelled it, I knew I had to buy the full size. It smells so beautiful, feminine, elegant, and not too overpowering. It has the perfect balance of soft and luxurious...it has quickly become my favorite perfume, and I can definitely see myself repurchasing  it again and again. Absolutely love it! 😊" —ariannyjassiels
