    Your Everyday Beauty Routine Could Use These 34 Reviewer-Approved Staples

    Including a nourishing body scrub, a versatile bottle of castor oil, and a Korean serum that'll bring out your inner glow.

    1. The Face Shops's facial foaming cleanser with rice water that contains vitamins and minerals to purify, moisturize, and brighten your skin while protecting it from excessive irritation. Reviewers with sensitive skin swear by it!

    Promising review: "This foams easily, thick and smooth. Feels like liquid silk. I love the smell. I'm very sensitive to smells in personal care products, and this is the most pleasant smell I have ever had in a soap. I use a lot of sunscreen due to hiking in Arizona. When I wash my face with this soap, it cleans off everything in one go, no need for a second wash to make sure everything is off my face. My face somehow looks and feels super clean but not tight, not ashy, and doesn't look or feel dry. I've used it for months now, and my skin definitely looks clearer and I've had no breakouts." —Emery Davis

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).

    2. Beauty of Joseon serum if you're a real glow getter. The niacinamide and propolis extract formula can help you maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give you a dewy glow, thanks to its honey-like texture.

    A reviewer holding the serum
    A reviewer with glowing skin after applying the serum

    I've been using this serum for about three months now and cannot say enough good things about it. I got the "glow" serum (I love that there's different options for different skin concerns) and it continues to minimize my pores and makes my skin look plumped and radiant!

    Promising review: "From the moment I started using this serum I saw results! The combination of propolis and niacinamide in this serum is a winning formula. My complexion has never looked this radiant and healthy. It effectively addresses dark spots and hyperpigmentation, visibly reducing their appearance. What makes this serum even more remarkable is its lightweight and fast-absorbing texture. It feels like silk on my skin and leaves no greasy residue. I can apply it seamlessly without worrying about it disrupting my makeup or other skincare products. The hydrating properties of this serum are a game-changer. My skin feels intensely nourished and plump, minimizing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The only downside is the price. I think it's a bit expensive for the amount of product you get. However, it's so good that I'll still leave it at 8/5 stars!" —Yuna Lee

    Get it from Amazon for $16.69 (available in three other formulations; you can also get a pack with all four).

    3. A renowned, plant-based TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum, which uses vitamins C and E and botanical hyaluronic acid to help rejuvenate dull skin by brightening and evening its tone. Use it daily to achieve the radiance that gorgeous face of yours deserves.

    This serum is vegan and cruelty-free.

    Promising review: "Best vitamin C serum I've used. Including the dermatologist office and department store brands. Takes very little product to cover face, neck, chest. After the second bottle, twice daily use, my jawline tightened and smile lines plumped. My skin feels and looks softer. Foundation smoother. Their customer service is top-notch. I've never had a single problem. Good product. The price is incredible! I hope everyone else has the same experience. (And...I have age 50+ skin complete with effects of sunbathing before we knew it was deadly)." —Love My Lab

    Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes).

    4. The Saem hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles so no one at the office starts asking you why you look like a Tim Burton character.

    It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.

    Promising review: "This is definitely a miracle product. I was impressed that it worked so well, so fast, and so instantly. The packaging is silly but whimsical; I enjoy it. This is the last thing I apply before walking out the door. First day I used it, I put it on and got in my car — I looked in the rear view mirror and my heart jumped. My eyes had de-puffed on my walk down the front path!!! So impressive. It's not hydrating, it’s more tightening/brightening. If you have dry under eyes, use a creamy hydrating eye cream first, and apply this over it — problem solved. You don’t get much product, but you don’t need to use much either, and it’s not like it’s expensive. Definitely worth it if a product actually DOES what it claims it’ll do!!! Buy it!" —Joseph S.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available as a collagen stick and as a two-pack).

    5. Or an eye cream for dark circles featuring yerba mate extract, as well as caffeine, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, at a bafflingly low price for the amount of compliments you're due to receive.

    Good Molecules is a small bizz that creates simple, effective skincare products using science-backed ingredients.

    Promising review: "For someone who’s tried hundreds of different skincare products, this stuff is amazing! It’s like a water gel consistency and a little goes a long way. I was skeptical of buying this because I’ve never heard of the brand and thought the low price was sketchy… but this stuff is really nice. I didn’t notice the cooling effect so much but it’s there! Get it if you're hesitant and on a budget!!" —Gail

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

    6. A vegan and cruelty-free lip scrub because your lips need some lovin' too! This magical lil' tub is enriched with coconut, sugar, avocado oil, and jojoba oil to nourish and soften your lips while exfoliating dead skin and reinforcing your skin's barrier. Get ready to achieve the luscious pout of your dreams. 😍

    Promising review: "Decided to give this a try after looking at many reviews of it working really well. Now that I've tried it today after my shower, I think it's an amazing product. It really softened and smoothed out my lips and applying lip balm right after just even enhances how smooth my lips feel! LOVE how clean the ingredients are and how it's cruelty free!" —Kiana

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles and in multipacks).

    7. A bottle of hydrating Glow Recipe watermelon glow niacinamide dew drops, which will brighten both your skin and your day.

    Glow Recipe is an Asian-owned business that aims to create fruit-forward, clean beauty formulas to incorporate into your skincare routine.

    Promising review: "I love this product with my heart and soul. I've been using it as a part of my skincare and prep routines for a few months, and my skin looks so natural, plump, even, and healthy. I'm ALL about a glowy, dewy, natural look and this product has helped me achieve that, plus it's a great serum packed with goodies that your skin will thank you for! It's definitely worth it. And I will always recommend this to anyone. I use it twice a day, in the morning as the last step before my makeup routine and at night before moisturizer! If using it during the daytime, don't forget to use sunscreen because its vitamin and natural acid contents make skin a little more susceptible and sensitive to sunlight! Hope this helps :)" —Andrea Velarde

    Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in two sizes).

    8. Missha's Soft Finish Sun Milk sunscreen approved by many reviewers with oily skin who rave about its ability to blend and not leave a greasy finish. It has SPF 50+ protection and resists water, sweat, and tears (Hopefully, tears of joy!) It also creates a silky smooth base — perfect for wearing under a full face of makeup.

    In the progression photos above, you can see a reviewer before applying the sun milk, after applying the sun milk, and then the sun milk under makeup.

    Although many reviewers say they don't experience a white cast with this, it is an untinted mineral sunscreen — so results in terms of white cast may vary!

    Not to be dramatic, but OMG — this product leaves my skin looking and feeling *SO* soft. It gives your skin an ultra smooth texture, making it the perfect SPF to lay underneath your makeup! Plus, it has a subtle, clean scent. I've been using this product for four months now and will absolutely continue to use it!

    Promising review: "I have dark, oily skin and purchased this product after reading recommendations. There is no white cast; you can barely see it upon application unless you use too much. You definitely do not need a lot, it spreads thin. When it dries, any color is gone. It also helps slow down my face getting all greasy as the day goes on, which I love. My skin is very, very oily but I can still apply this after my moisturizer and feel totally comfortable. I'm not a fan of scents, and the scent on this is extremely mild." —Ms. Renee

    Get it from Amazon for $19.49.

    9. A reviewer-beloved Maybelline "Fit Me" matte foundation that comes in 40 (!!) shades, meaning you're bound to find the perfect ~fit~ for your skin tone. This breathable, lightweight formula gives you buildable coverage and helps refine pores for a natural-looking matte finish. Plus, it's oil-free — no pore-clogging over here!

    Promising review: "I love this stuff! I've purchased more expensive foundations, but this is the best. No shine, looks beautiful on my skin. I typically use a lightweight primer underneath, but even without the primer, this foundation glides on beautifully. It doesn't feel heavy, it looks like my natural skin and it lasts all day. Perfect!" —MP Gallagher

    Get it from Amazon for $7.33+ (available in two sizes and 40 shades).

    10. A bottle of TikTok-famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence because it will soothe and rejuvenate your skin so effectively, it'll make you think the exact opposite of "ew" when you think of snail mucin. It can also give your skin a natural "I woke up like this" glow that has earned it over 60,000 5-star ratings!

    And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed!

    I've personally been using this for months now and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after see how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying "gimme gimme gimme!!"

    Promising review: "I’ve been using this morning and night for about two weeks and I can say I understand the hype! My skin looks better than it has in so long. Firstly, the texture surprised me. When you think snail mucin, you think slimy and gross. This wasn’t sticky or slimy whatsoever. I was afraid it was gonna leave my skin feeling gross and slippery. Surprisingly, my skin drank it right up! No residue whatsoever and it’s a nice primer before makeup. I have oily skin and it’s helped with that as well. My skin is so soft, with a nice healthy glow. I’ve noticed my red spots from past acne is fading and my skin just overall looks great. Highly recommend!" —Sarah D.

    Get it from Amazon for $17.

    11. A bottle of I'm From goami rice toner that reviewers with dry skin say is hydration in a bottle. Its vegetable-originated extracts will leave your skin looking supple, smooth, and glowy without any heavy or sticky residue.

    A reviewer holding the toner
    A reviewer's before and after showing reduced acne scars and more even skin tone

    This toner is vegan and cruelty-free.

    Promising review: "I love this toner! I’ve finished the whole bottle. It’s light and moisturizing. I can definitely tell the difference, my skin is smoother and plump. I love it cause I have both oily and dry skin and it makes my skin normal again! Best of all it doesn’t burn or irritate my skin, if anything it calms it down. Will definitely be buying again." —Rachael

    Get it from Amazon for $17.90 (also available as a set).

    12. A bottle of organic (and delightfully versatile!) cold-pressed castor oil — if you've ever heard anyone hype this product up, believe it. This little bottle of magic is enriched with moisturizing fatty acids that promote hair growth, give you longer and thicker lashes and brows, *and* help reduce blemishes, scars, and fine lines. A true MVP. 😍

    A reviewer's eyelash growth product results; top image labeled before, bottom shows lashes two weeks later

    On top of the moisturizing fatty acids, this oil might just be infused with pixie dust because WOW. I have been using this specific castor oil for about four years now and thanks to the super quick and easily noticeable results, I almost never go a night without applying it. It's made me lashes so long and thick that I don't even feel the need to wear falsies, especially when I add mascara!! If there is one product that I put in my hall of fame for hair growth (and acne scar reduction!), this is it.

    Promising reviews: "This truly is a game changer in my skincare routine. I've seen a decrease in fine lines wrinkles, acne. My skin is hydrated and plumped in the morning after wearing this overnight. I feel like my makeup wears better throughout the day and there's no issues with oiliness. This is non- comedogenic so I don't have any issues with breakouts. This is a great value for what you buy. It's in a glass container with a glass dropper so it's safer to use than plastic. It's definitely worth a try, I do think this oil is doing wonders for people!" —Annie

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).

    13. A six-piece (!!) set of high-performance matte lipsticks, because 'tis the season to break out the fun, bright colors for both our clothes *and* makeup. Plus, you'll probably end up wanting to ditch major brand lipsticks after you try these little beauties. They stay on all day and actually moisturize your lips instead of drying or cracking!

    Promising review: "I am super picky about my lipstick. It has to cover well and stay on all day. This checks all the boxes. The colors are rich and beautiful, they glide on easily and are not drying at all. I had no transfer after putting it on and letting it set, and it stayed the day. I didn’t see any feathering either." —Heidi DeSisto

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three sets).

    14. Or a more subtle Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil that's just as pretty and gives your lips a lovely, natural-looking flush. It's made with soothing apple water to help moisturize and soften your lips without giving you that icky, sticky finish.

    This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

    I have been using this lip oil for two months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences! 

    Promising review: "I love K-beauty and this is one of my favorite lip oils. It makes my lips softer and looking like cherry plump. Plus, this shade acts as a lip tint, and I like how long it stays on my lips. As first, I thought that the bottle seems small but after applying 2–3 times/day for a month I still have a lot left to use. It moisturizes your lips and leaves a red tint on your lips, and it's lasted very long!" —Nhu

    Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in ten colors and in sets).

    15. A revitalizing cuticle oil that'll have your nails looking gorgeous and prepped for those mimosa IG stories that will be posted later. With a blend of safflower oil, sunflower seed oil, cottonseed oil, and vitamin E, this will help nourish and strengthen your nails all while promoting growth.

    Promising review: "I reached a point where my hands and nails are just trashed from gardening and washing dishes without gloves. I bought this oil hoping to strengthen my brittle nails. It’s only been like a week using it, but oh my, this stuff is amazing. My thumb pads had rough cracking skin. Cuticles were a shredded mess. One or two applications of this stuff has totally turned around the health of my hands. And it smells amazing. There’s some kind of magical combination in this oil that is far beyond your average cuticle oil. I might start putting this stuff all over me. 10 star product." —Kate

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in eight sizes and 11 styles).

    16. A waterproof crème-to-powder eyeshadow stick, which is perfect for those days when you're running late (...again) and want to add a quick pop of glow to your eyes.

    Promising review: "These glide on so easy and the color is so beautiful. They go on like a cream and dry to a powder-like feel, so your eyelids don't feel sticky. Each one also comes with a built-in smudger, which works great. I love the look, and it lasts all day. I bought some for myself, my teenage daughter, my niece, and my sister, and we all LOVE it! I'll definitely be buying more." —Av80

    Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in 53 colors).

    17. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream if you're looking to tighten and soften your skin and get your legs ready for all those shorts, skirts, and dresses you're about to whip out. But TBH, the scent alone is what's been getting reviewers obsessed. 😍

    Promising review: “I never buy expensive beauty products for myself. This is the one exception. I got a little sample tub of it as a freebie, and I fell in love with it. It smells absolutely incredible, and the scent lasts for hours. Not only is it extremely moisturizing, but it's fast absorbing, which is perfect for someone like me who works with her hands all day. Plus, you don't have to use a ton of it at a time, so the tubs last a long time! This stuff is ABSOLUTELY worth the price, and I couldn't recommend it more!" —Starr

    Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three sizes).

    18. A super effective pore control cleansing oil to magically eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion — perfect to incorporate in a double cleansing routine!

    Promising reviews: "I tried this on a whim. My skin always holds onto everything and I was looking dull. I massaged this into my face for a while before my shower and then cleansed with my normal cleanser. Let me tell you when I got out out of the shower, my pores looked different. I noticed everything seemed like it was coming to the surface of the skin and so I used and omg... after two days I never had pores this clean since I was ten years old. People at work said I was glowing and my face has never been so soft. My skin has never felt so good. This stuff is magic. It makes all other products work better. It’s super gentle. I bought it for three friends because it made me look so youthful." —Bead maniac

    Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

    19. And a pack of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels — aka the ultimate upgrade to your nightly routine.

    Promising review: "I saw a dermatologist recommend this on TikTok and I figured I’d give it a try. I have had red bumps on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember and have tried many things, so I didn’t have very high expectations. After one use, I could already see a difference! It says to use 1–2 times a week but I use it usually every other day, and I use CeraVe rough and bumpy lotion after and now my red bumps are almost nonexistent. This product has truly been life changing and I would recommend to anyone struggling with red bumps! 10/10!" —Sidney

    23. Or a curl-enhancing Bread Beauty Supply Elastic Bounce Cream to give dry, frizzy hair the bounce and hydration it's been craving! You might just fall in love with the defined texture it leaves on your luscious locks.

I like that a little goes a long way and the packaging is really great size so it would last a long time." —Sephora Customer

    Get it from Sephora for $16+ (available in two sizes).

    24. A container of Aquaphor multipurpose healing ointment, which is the holy grail here to soothe, protect, and restore smooth skin. Got some chapped skin brought on by the cold weather? Just got a new tattoo? Dealing with your baby's diaper rash? This magical ointment is here to save the day.

    Promising review: "At first I wasn't sure I'd like this product because it is so greasy; I even heard it referred to as 'the new Vaseline.' My doctor recommended it for my cracking cuticles and fingers. I discovered that I was using too much, my mistake; I was applying it like regular hand lotion/cream. Once I learned a little goes a long way, I love it!! I keep the jar beside my bed and rub a small dab on my hands before turning off the light so it has all night to soak in. My hands are now crack-free and soft even though it is the middle of winter with extremely frigid weather." —Mooselady

    Promising review: "I have seriously annoying skin. I have bad sunspots, freckles, redness, you name it. I hate the sun and my skin does, too. I even had some lovely melasma ‘stache going. I’ve been using this stuff every couple of nights and also derma-planing and my skin looks so much better! Even my coworkers have noticed! It’s super gentle, too, so it’s really easy to use." —Kristina Escobedo

    Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in three sizes).

    For persistent or bigger pimples, leave a pimple patch on overnight for two to three days to allow the pimple to diminish completely.

    Promising review: "I've suffered from full coverage acne since I was 8 or 9 years old (I know. A freakishly young age to start.). I've use every product known to man. Proactive, Neutrogena, Clearasil, medication from dermatologists...the list goes on, and I'm sure most people have experienced the same. BUT THESE WORK. HOLY SHT THESE WORK. They suck everything out in ONE GOSH DARN NIGHT. I buy a whole bunch at a time and go through probably five packets a month and I've never been happier, and I've never had such clear skin. All you have to do is wash your face and stick the dots on before bed. I stick them wherever I see the red starting, feel that 'oh it's a big one' pain under my skin, or where whiteheads have already started." —Danielle

    Get a pack of 72 from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three sizes).

    28. A reviewer-beloved Soft Pinch Liquid Blush from Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty because although a natural, glowy look is gorgeous year-round, there's something about spring that has me reaching for baby pink. This delivers long-lasting, buildable pigment in your choice of dewy or matte finish and lends you a healthy lil' flush if your skin's been counting down the days until it can see the sun again.

    Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart says about it: "Okay so I mayyyyy have been influenced into buying this by TikTok (I swear every other video on my FYP was someone using it!!!!) but it certainly lives up to the hype!!! I am def more of a ~skincare person~ than a makeup person but when I do lean into makeup, blush is one of my favorite products. This stuff is SO pigmented that I use a single dot between both cheeks (I use shade Joy which is a muted peach) and then blend it out with a brush. Whether I wear it on its own or over a sheer tint, the creamy, dewy formula melts into my skin beautifully and lasts all day."

    Promising review: "This blush is amazing! First time trying liquid blush, but it's definitely worth it. This formula is so smooth and moisturizing as well as creamy. This was way more pigmented than I thought (in a good way). A little goes a very long way so I can tell this will last me a long time. The color is very similar to the photo online, but I was so surprised at how well it worked. Very blendable and flawless. Very beautiful packaging and applicator, too. Left a nice dewy finish and lasted all day long! I'm sure if I didn't remove it at night it would have lasted longer. :) Selena really hit this off! I'm now very interested in purchasing her highlighter and concealer, too!" —Sofiarosa

    29. Truly Beauty boob polish to get the skin around your chest area looking extraaa soft for all those tank tops and sundresses that are about to see the light of day. This has an acai and retinol formula that helps firm, tighten, and smooth the skin around your boobies while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and stretch marks. Not that you need to — you'll look mighty fine either way. 😉

    Promising review: "I love the color, smell, and consistency! I definitely notice a difference. My skin is soooo soft and glowy!" —Dianna c.

    Get it from Truly Beauty or Ulta for $32. 

    30. A fan fave facial ice roller, because you can call it hay fever, seasonal allergies, or just the natural order of things, but this season makes puffiness pretty hard to avoid. This is a super ~cool~ way of making it easier! Just pull it out of the fridge or freezer in the morning, and it'll give your skin (and you!) a glorious wake-up call.

    Promising review: "Kept showing up on 'products people love' lists so I finally went for it and it lives up to the hype! Pop it in the freezer and just a gentle roll on my face and neck is so calming and cooling. It's been so humid, it's gross, and this brought me from cranky to chill in like a minute. Love it!" —Ann

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 12 colors).

    31. A luxe Medicube facial device — a high-tech K-beauty tool (which is used by Hailey Bieber!) that'll help you truly elevate your whole skincare game. This helpful little tool stimulates your skin to create electro-passageways so your skincare penetrates more deeply, leaving it plumper and brighter. Now you'll *actually* be able to achieve that "glass skin" look that you were hoping to get from that $50 serum you splurged on.

    I *highly* recommend watching this TikTok, where the creator's 45-year-old mom (who looks unbelievably youthful) is using this device along with her other skincare products (mostly from Medicube, a Korean brand) to help them soak in for maximum effect! Psst: You can get the other products mentioned in that vid on Amazon too if you're interested in replicating her routine: the Deep Vita C pads, The Lab's hyaluronic acid toner, the Deep Vita C serum, the peptide eye cream, and the collagen jelly cream.

    The reviewer whose before/after is shown above used the device once a day for almost two months, and is wearing no makeup in either pic.

    Promising review: "I’ve never used any kind of device like this before but decided to give it a try. I put a lot of effort and money into my skincare regimen and this device is making sure all those expensive ingredients get absorbed deep into my skin. It’s easy to use and works with your current skincare products. It only tingles a tiny bit once you start to use level 4 and 5, but you quickly get used to it. I’ve had it for over a month now and still haven’t needed to recharge it. After a five-minute session with this device my skin is so soft and hydrated and stays that way for hours later, and the sessions I do before bed keep me super hydrated through the whole night. I wake up with soft, plum, hydrated glowing skin. It’s been the best investment I’ve ever made for my skin hands down. You won’t be disappointed." —Serina Jones

    32. Or a color light therapy mask that can adjust your skin's specific needs with the click of a button. Looking for some anti-aging properties? Red light. Trying to clear your breakout? Blue light. Want to balance and even out your skin tone? Green light. Reviewers are raving about how smooth, bright, and bouncy their skin looks! The best part is that you can just sit back, grab a book or watch some TV, and have some ~me time~.

    This mask offers seven LED colors, all ranging in different skin benefits! It is recommended that you do sessions three to five time a week for 15–25 minutes.

    Check out this user's review of it in this TikTok.

    Promising reviews: "TWO-YEAR UPDATE: 10/10, my skin is SIGNIFICANTLY clearer and brighter when I use my mask regularly. I have very sensitive acne prone skin and this refines my pores and keeps my breakouts at bay! I also notice smoother and healthier glow. LOVE THIS MASK!" —Scott

    "I use this mask daily on my face and chest and neck. I've notice my skin is tighter and brighter. It helps smooth skin, and wrinkles are less noticeable. I have a specific deep wrinkle that really looks like a scar. It's hardly noticeable now! My daughter hadn't seen me in three months and asked me if I had gotten botox and filler — and I had only been using the device for six to eight weeks. It also makes me sit still every day and I find it helps me to be mindful and is a very relaxing time. To me, this has certainly been worth the money. It's part of a daily routine combined with lotions for my face, neck and chest. The outcome is that I love how I look." —Mozee

    33. An aluminum-free Native deodorant because it feels light and fresh under your arms but is *incredibly* effective at protecting against odor. Plus! It varies in five delightful scents, including coconut and vanilla, lavender and rose, and honey and white oak.

    Psst — it also comes in an unscented style!

    Promising review: "Native Deodorant has transformed my daily routine. The natural formula is a breath of fresh air, providing effective odor protection without any harsh chemicals. I love the variety of scents, and each one is subtle yet long-lasting. The deodorant’s staying power is impressive and it keeps me feeling fresh throughout the day. The fact that it’s cruelty free and made without aluminum or parabens aligns perfectly with my preference for clean beauty products. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an effective and clean option!" —Lauren Hudson

    Get it from Amazon for $11.67+ (available in five scents and multipacks).

    34. A bottle of Fanola "No Yellow" purple shampoo — you already spent major money to acquire that beautiful blonde look, so why would you let unwanted yellow tones caused by more fun in the sun get in the way? This'll cancel out the brassiness and help you keep it looking as good as the hair inspo on your Pinterest board.

    Promising review: "I never write reviews, but this stuff is magic in a bottle. I'm a level 7 blonde with high-level highlights and hair that loves to pull red. If my hair starts to look brassy, I use this, and voila — looks like I just came out of the salon again. I'd love it even if it didn't make my hair feel soft, but it does that, too! Please don't ever stop making this!" —scooptwins
