If you have ever rocked a crooked and uneven cat eye, I dedicate this one to you.

Promising review: "I originally got this to clean my beauty blender, but I used it to clean my brushes as well! This takes the cake for the best brush cleanser I've ever used. I didn't have to do any scrubbing or anything — each brush took about a second each and suddenly my hundreds of brushes were clean in the blink of an eye! I keep my brushes clean now, and I never thought I would be 'that girl' who always had clean brushes...but alas, here I am, sitting on my high horse thanks to Ecotools. It even smells nice!" —Rebecca

Promising review: "I'm shocked that this actually works! I recently switched to waterproof mascara because I got sick of washable mascara leaving flakes all over my cheeks. I tried a couple of waterproof makeup removers and even plain coconut oil, but nothing completely removed it from my lashes! But this micellar water removes it without scrubbing, and it doesn't sting my eyes at all." —Holly Vargo

Promising review: "This perfect! It comes with so much product, the puff it comes with is pretty handy, and the application is smooth and is great for baking. My makeup came out flawless! I set my makeup with this, worked out right after, and THERE WAS NO SEPARATION OR CREASING. This powder is a blessing." —Andrea

Promising review: "I love this! I've purchased several of these now. I have one next to my Keurig coffee maker for the pods, and I have one in each bathroom. It's perfect for used q-tips and cotton balls! The stainless steel finish is beautiful, the lid swings easily, the black plastic on the lid is durable, and I've been using these for over a year and its not scratched or faded at all." —Ange

Promising review: "This helps create a smooth, moisturized, tacky base for your makeup to go on. I've been using this for at least a year now, and I can't go without it. Over time, I noticed an improvement in my skin quality and texture — and when I finished the bottle and stopped using it for a bit, my skin didn't look as great. Now I always use this and always have it with me!" —Coty Smercina

Promising review: "Who'd have thought you could get excited about a facial scrub? I love this stuff! The ingredients are natural — nothing synthetic!

This mirror comes with four different light settings: day, office, evening, and home. PLUS! You can alter the magnification on the mirror to get up close and personal with every blemish on your face. While this sounds dreadful, it really does help to put on concealer when you can actually see what you’re trying to conceal (and then blending that concealer out — that way it doesn’t look like there are random blotches of pale orange on your face). Also, this thing is great for when you’re trying to tweeze your eyebrows: It helps you see every one of the little suckers you’re trying to pluck out.

This facial spray is packed with aloe, herbs, and rose water to give a glowy, dewy look to dehydrated skin.
Promising review: "The redness on my cheeks has gone way down and I have a much more even complexion after just four days. I've been lightly spraying this on my face after cleansing with the Mario Badescu Rice Milk Carnation Cleanser and again first thing upon waking. It smells very nice and magically fixes skin problems — even my acne has cleared up! I'm very impressed." —Terryoke

Promising review: "These cloths are phenomenal. When I come home from work, I grab one of these wipes and just swipe the day away! These smell incredible — full-on cucumber refreshingness!

Promising review: "This is a great, affordable kabuki brush. The bristles are incredibly soft and silky, with just the right amount of density. This brush works amazing with mineral foundation. I use BareMinerals and the application is even and looks very natural, and I don't need a lot of product either! Added bonus: it's retractable for easy and mess-free travel in purse or suitcase!" —Jessica
