1. A clear gloss that looks good on every skin tone is, in my opinion, a need — not a want. And for just $3, you can get one for everybody.
2. An at-home DIY lash extensions kit so you can fulfill your champagne taste with a beer budget. They give a natural and wispy look with 30 pre-bound clusters and invisible bands, meaning you can ditch the clumsy strips and say hello to natural volume in minutes.
3. A face and body lotion with shea butter, glycerin, and niacinamide that is fragrance free — yes please! With 48-hour hydration, this lotion replenishes the skin's moisture barrier for adults and babies alike. Bonus points for being accepted by the National Eczema Association. This is our formal goodbye to dry skin.
4. A curl enhancing smoothie cream that's meant to make the curly hair girlies feel extra confident in their natural look. This lightweight formula restores moisture, defines curls, reduces frizz, and creates shine. Dry, frizzy hair this summer? I don't think so.
5. A sheer mineral sunscreen for the summer is a must have. With SPF 50 and naturally-sourced 100% zinc oxide, Neutrogena's nongreasy, lightweight sunscreen will be your holy grail this summer. Apply after your morning skincare routine and before your makeup, and voilà! You're ready to ~face~ the day.
6. A nearly-invisible pimple patch for those stubborn breakouts. Mighty Patch is the stealthiest hydrocolloid patch in the game as they're virtually undetectable. Wear these at night or during the day to hide that stubborn acne and aid in fast healing.
7. A facial razor that exfoliates the skin and removes peach fuzz. The ultra-sharp, stainless steel blades create a smooth foundation for flawless makeup and helps the skin absorb serums and moisturizers. It's time you gave yourself a little spa day. You deserve it.
8. A styling hair gel made with 100% pure olive oil that moisturizes the hair and scalp, provides a healthy shine, strong hold, is alcohol-free, anti-itch, anti-flake, AND has UV protection. Now you can style your hair and feel great about the products you're using. Does it get much better?
9. A gel-based primer for long lasting makeup that's enriched with hyaluronic acid and is noncomedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores). It makes for the most ideal makeup application base for all skin tones and types.
10. A white eye pencil because we’re in our Alix Earle era. This jumbo eyeshadow stick is cruelty-free, offers easy application, and has some serious color payoff. Plus, you can sharpen it all way to the bottom to maximize usage. (We're also in our conscious spender era.)
11. A salicylic acid cleanser by CeraVe to keep your skin looking fresh. This dermatologist-tested foaming cleanser exfoliates and hydrates the skin without leaving it feeling stripped or tight. It restores the skin's natural barrier and leaves you glowing.
12. A face mask that helps restore and rejuvenate the skin because this summer is all about hydration — not thirst. If you want glowing skin (and honestly, who doesn't?), then keep this on deck. Not to mention it's cruelty-free, AAPI-owned, and woman-owned.
13. A six-piece face and eye brush set that's affordable and good. This six piece set is long lasting, easy to clean, and will create a flawless finish. (Don’t be surprised if it flies off the shelves.)
14. An organic jojoba oil that helps heal sunburn, acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Rich in vitamins and minerals, this cold-pressed natural plant extract comes straight from native family farms in the Peruvian desert. For those searching for a minimalistic skincare routine, here's your answer.
15. An exfoliating glove for the best exfoliation you've ever experienced. It evens skin texture and reduces bumps and clogged pores without any harsh chemicals to reveal healthy, radiant skin. Pro tip: only use once every two weeks to avoid irritating your skin.
16. An eyeshadow palette for those who can't make up their mind. It has 88 colors to choose from, including shimmery, metallic and matte shades (aka every color and style you could ever want). Can’t pick a color? Just buy them all.
17. A highlight and contour stick that is the ultimate face-shaping duo. The dual-ended crayon is buildable, lightweight, and easy to use. With this, you'll show up to the party looking absolutely snatched.
18. A scalp massage hair brush that stimulates blood flow, exfoliates, and loosens dandruff. Extend those showers a little longer with this tool and mentally transport yourself to the salon.
19. A nonaerosol dry shampoo with plant proteins because we want a good hair day and clean ingredients. This magic-in-a-bottle is oil-absorbing, volume-reviving, and promotes scalp health all in one. Sometimes we need to prolong the life of our blowout for as long as we can, and that's okay.
20. A multi-oil hydrating body wash so you can smell good and feel good. The plant-based, cruelty-free body wash gently cleanses the skin and leaves a natural glow. Exit the shower feeling (and looking) like a million bucks.
