Promising review: "I’m used to wearing heavier hair creams and leave-in conditioners to get my desired look. So, admittedly, I was skeptical when I went to use this relatively lightweight product. The outcome is all of the desired benefits (curl pattern, shine, reduced frizz, softness) without any of the undesired aspects, such as residue, waxy or crunchy texture, and contains no fragrances or other toxic products. I had wash-and-go hair on wash day AND it looks terrific upon waking up this morning. I’m really pleased." —Malia M.
10. Flower Beauty's Petal Pout Lip Mask nourishes even the most chapped smackers with hydrating mango and cocoa butter whilst also giving you a pleasant, Drew Barrymore–approved pop of color. Application is a breeze so you don't even need a mirror — just slather some on while you run out the door.

12. Jane Dottie Vintage's scrunchies will have you postponing wash day because your messy bun has never looked better. If turning limp or greasy locks into a compliment magnet isn't a win, I don't know what is!
13. Garnier's Sleek & Shine Leave-In Conditioning Cream keeps hair smooth and frizz free for up to three days with a formula rich in argan oil. That way, you don't have to worry about washing, drying, and styling every day of the week.
14. Isle of Paradise's Self-Tanning Drops lend your complexion a natural glow so you don't have to bother with BB creams or foundation. If the bottom half of your face is a different shade from months of mask wearing, mix a couple drops in with your moisturizer to even things out.
15. Peripera's Ink Velvet Lip Tint is just the ticket for days when you want to put in as little effort as possible. Swipe on the long-lasting emollient formula and go about your day as usual — no sipping through a straw or eating your salad like a Kardashian — because it's that dang durable.

20. LA Beautyologist's No-Drip Cleansing Cuffs ensure that every time you wash your face, you don't unintentionally wash your floor (or T-shirt), too. Getting yourself ready already takes enough time — no need to add extra chores to your routine.
21. Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo absorbs oil and extends the life of your hairdo without the need for water. If you've been trying really hard to "train" your hair between washes (hiiiii, it's me), this will come in handy.
22. Fluide's Universal Crayon will have your whole face shimmering and hydrated with its nourishing (and nonsmudge) shea butter formula. Lids, lips, cheekbones, noses — go ahead and apply it wherever you'd like a lil' bit of oomph.
23. Touch in Sol's No Poreblem Primer smoothes out pores and uneven textures so your foundation goes on without a hitch. With green tea extract, the formula also energizes your skin while it's at it. 🍵

27. Revlon's One-Step Hair Dryer makes styling your own hair a cinch. I hate blow-drying my hair SO much, I will go outside — no matter the temperature — with soaking wet hair instead. That was until this gadget came into my life. Now all I need is five minutes and I leave with a perfect blowout!
28. Ilia's Multi-Stick was made for on-the-go use so you can swipe on a bit of lip and cheek color whether you're in an Uber, on the subway, or walking to brunch. While you can use a dense brush for application, your finger works just as well so you don't need to carry any extras if you're traveling light.
29. Saie Glowy Super Gel will have your skin radiant whether added to your foundation or used alone as a primer. Heck, you can even slap some on your arms and legs if you're looking for all-over dewiness.
30. Ilia's Super Serum Skin Tint speaks to those who love a chill, no-makeup makeup look. The light-coverage mineral formula utilizes hyaluronic acids, plant-based squalane, and niacinamide to lock in your skin's natural moisture and it's topped off with SPF 40 so you don't have to apply that on its own.
