This no smudge, all day wear – mascara will stay put (even at the gym).
28. Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator refreshes skin with a gentle formula that won't strip your skin and leave it feeling aggravated and dry. Ingredients like cucumber and rose supply a cool sensation while simultaneously rehydrating the skin. This will regenerate new skin cells by buffing away dirt and dead skin.
29. Glossier Lash Slick mascara works as a fabulous blending mascara if you're a false eyelash wearer. It doesn't get clumpy, separates lashes, and is water-resistant (so it's easy to remove in comparison to waterproof mascaras).
