1. A hyaluronic acid serum to rehydrate your skin after a long day out and about. This fast-absorbing, lightweight gel can help plump and moisturize your skin for a radiant glow, which is always a good look.
2. A bottle of bronzing drops that can be used on their own or paired with your favorite moisturizer. These will have you glowing like you've never glowed before even as your tan starts to fade. It also uses hyaluronic acid and sea kelp to hydrate and soften your skin.
3. A viral color-correcting treatment with SPF and the ability to neutralize your redness. It also helps even out your skin tone, so you can finally put your foundation away and just become a one face product type of person.
Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a concealer to enable me to go mostly makeup free. My main issue is redness and irritation. I have a very fair complexion and sensitive skin. This product exceeded my expectations in neutralizing redness on my nose and cheeks. I’m so pleased and can already tell this is going to be my new favorite skincare product. I put it on after moisturizer and under primer, then just follow up with the tiniest amount of under-eye concealer and I’m good to go." —badleybratt
Get it from Sephora for $21+ (available in two sizes).
4. A jar of the iconic Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream because it smells so good you might want to eat it (I know the scent is tempting, but please, DO NOT ACTUALLY EAT THIS). Not only does it smell good, but it also feels great on your skin as it softens, moisturizes, and hydrates you all over!
Promising review: "I bought it to try for the scent mainly, but I started using this product all over and have seen some pretty shocking results in moisture, appearance, texture, and even tightening." —Alex WIlls
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes and a refill).
5. An illuminating moisturizer to make your skin look and feel fresh and glowy, which is exactly what I want all the dang time. Also, fun fact: for the iconic Sports Illustrated Martha Stewart photoshoot, she actually used this to give her face a glow. If it's good enough for Martha, it's good enough for me.
This product feels super lightweight, and it's super easy to blend out. I've been wearing it on its own over SPF for the very glow-from-within kind of look. I've also been using this just as a highlighter, and it looks so freaking pretty.
Promising review: "I love this product. It makes it look like you have a natural glow without feeling heavy or looking cakey. Great for those with dry skin who can’t wear heavy foundation but want to smooth out their skin." —Jessica Giles
Get it from Amazon for $12.57+ (available in four shades).
6. A completely clear sunscreen that'll leave your skin looking like a filter. I am obsessed with this weightless and scentless sunscreen because it looks so flipping good and also doubles as a makeup primer.
I've tried many sunscreens, and this brand has yet to fail me. Sometimes I just walk out of my house with just this and no foundation!
Promising review: "This is the first face sunscreen I’ve used that hasn’t left my face feeling like an oil trap. This product goes on amazing and doesn’t have a white cast in photos. I first bought this when I was working outside every day in the Florida heat. Never broke me out or overly clogged my pores." —xenaaru
Get it from Sephora for $22+ (available in two sizes).
7. Or a glowy sunscreen if you want something that's going to give your face protection from the sun PLUS a little extra oomph in the tint department.
8. A tubing mascara because it'll separate and lengthen lashes so well you won't even need falsies. In addition to keeping your lashes looking luscious, it also uses ingredients such as shea butter, castor seed oil, biotin, and more to help condition and improve your lashes. All you need is a bit of water to remove it.
9. An under-eye gel to make you look like you slept a whole eight hours, even though you were really up all night finishing that book you just saw on TikTok. Lightweight and hydrating, this product has made my under-eyes look so much better.
10. A 4-in-1 tinted face balm for those who want a bit of coverage but still want their natural complexion to shine. This product can help firm and smooth lines, conceal imperfections, and even out your skin tone. Yes, please!!
11. A lightweight SPF 50 tinted sunscreen that ~actually~ blends into your skin effortlessly. Like, ~actually.~ This product is so freaking good it might actually inspire you to wear sunscreen every single day (which you should 100% do).
12. A bottle of Urban Decay long-lasting makeup setting spray because it can (and will) change your makeup life. Designed to hold makeup in place for up to 16 hours, this setting spray will have you looking fresh for your early meeting up until post-happy hour; And yes, it does seriously work.
13. A celebrity-beloved moisturizer to replace a bunch of different skincare products in your routine. I love a multi-use moment, and this works as a face cream, makeup primer, and face mask!
14. A glossy lip balm if your lips are always on the chapped and flaky side. Not only does this look good but it leaves your lips feeling fab.
15. A moisturizer that'll feel as light as a feather on your face. It has three molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid in it; which will help keep your face looking and feeling hydrated.
16. An Etude fixing tint because you want the look but not the weight of a typical liquid lippie. These last on your lips for hours, and they are matte, lightweight, and transfer-proof — what more could you want in a lip tint? It's also available in a glossy formula as well. 👀
17. A multi-use balm called a 101 ointment for a reason (read: there are literally at least 101 different ways you can use it). Some uses I love it for right now are wearing it as lip balm and applying it to bug bites and even my cuticles.
18. A collagen-coating hair treatment to help your mane recover from everything you put it through (yes, we're talking about you post-breakup). Rich in ingredients like ceramide and collagen, this helps revive heat-damaged and over-processed hair of all types.
19. And a frizz-fighting styling cream that'll save your hair if you live in a humid climate. It also has ingredients that'll help protect your hair from harmful UV damage, which is always a plus.
20. A Dermalogica hydrating toner because your complexion may need a little extra hydrating as the weather starts to turn colder once again (*sobs*). If you want your skin to look as even as your bangs do after a salon trip, this gem can help you out. It can also help optimize absorption, which makes it a wonderful item to use before your favorite serum.
21. A body scrub exfoliant made with chemical and physical exfoliators to reduce skin bumps and buff away dead skin. It's perfect for refreshing your skin after a long arduous week! Bonus: it's also nut- and oil-free for all our allergen-sensitive besties out there.
22. A super lightweight blush that will leave your cheeks perfectly flushed in a Hollywood glam type of way. This lightweight item uses rose water to hydrate your cheeks and is deliciously easy to blend.
23. A pH-balancing toner because your skin just deserves this kind of treatment. Made with hypochlorous acid (which is naturally produced in the body); this toner helps soothe redness in the skin while also hydrating your face all in one go.
24. A facial spray with aloe and rose water because sometimes you just need a spritz in the middle of the day. Refreshing and hydrating, you're going to need to pick up at least two of these, one for your work bag and one for your collection at home.
25. A set of face masks that smell so good (in an almost edible way) and will give you a mini spa day at home. Coming in a pack of three yummy flavors inspired by birthday cake (hydrating with hyaluronic acid), matcha (soothing with aloe), and berry (exfoliating with strawberry seeds), each of these does a little something different for your skin. I'll be adding all to my cart; thank you.
26. A bottle of the famous Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C & Turmeric Face Oil because your skin deserves to shine as bright as the sun. Think of this product as cold-pressed juice for your complexion and let your skin drink this up.
27. A snail mucin moisturizer that went viral on TikTok with over 19,000 5-star ratings because it's just that good. This plumping, hydrating, and soothing product might be exactly what your skin needs. I know the "snail mucin" part might be freaking you out a little bit but hear me out — this ingredient can help enhance, moisturize, exfoliate, and soothe your skin, which is a YES in my book. Plusssss, no snails are harmed in the making of this beloved product and that's something I think we can all get behind.
