Who knew beauty could be so mess-free?
Promising review: "The wand is like a combo wand of every type out there. It has you covered from every angle; and man, I love this stuff! My eyes don't go a day without it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "It is perfect when you are in a hurry! I sometimes don't have the time it takes to put on my mascara. It is perfect for when you are on the go! You can use both sides, top, and bottom. I have started to use this when I put castor oil on my eyelashes. It helps the oil penetrate into the lashes much better than before :D." —itsmae

Promising review: "This gel actually works! I use it under my eye, on my eye lids, and also where crows feet would be. The picture is day one, day five, and day nine. I've only been using this for a little over a week, and can see a dramatic difference already." —Kathy

Promising review: "Every time I stop using these I notice my skin change and have to run to buy more. This is one of the best products I have ever used. They are amazing — truly skin improving. They leave my skin clear, refined, and glowing. Bravo to Dr. Dennis Gross for creating an uber effective and cruelty-free peel" —dcnyc

Promising review: "I am all about finding products to make my life easier. This fits my fingers just fine, and I tried two different sizes of nail polish, and neither fell out. The best way to keep the nail polish in is to lift up a few of the 'octopus' arms around your nail polish." —punkofneptune
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (16 colors).
Promising review: "Works beautifully and allows me to paint my nails much faster without worrying about going outside the lines. I use it with gel nail polish and a UV lamp with no problems. It's great because I can get each coat on faster before curing and then just peel off any polish on the cuticles or tip." —K. Pike
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
Promising review: "One of the best products I have ever bought. I put it on at night and I wake up with perfectly plump and nourished lips. After using repeatedly my lips look plumper and I never have dry lips, even in California heat. I have recommended it to all of my friends and they love it." —Megan Haddad

Promising review: "HOLD UP. I have wasted so much money on those makeup remover wipes from Walmart for YEARS. For like TEN YEARS. And now I find this, and I'll never buy those wipes again! I'm not kidding. This thing makes your face SO MUCH CLEANER than those remover wipes. I just wet it with warm water and take off an entire face of makeup. When I used this the first time, my mom said, 'Wow your face looks way cleaner than normal!' Plus, if you're like me and can't do laundry super often, this is a good item because you can just apply some hand soap and the makeup comes out pretty easily if you clean it right after use. I wash this once a week and rinse it out every time I use it. Please do yourself a favor — buy this :)." —Caroline W.

Promising review: "I've had this for five years and it is still amazing. I use it so much, people don't know my hair is naturally straight, and I get compliments all the time. I have both sizes but like the smaller one; because the smaller one allows the style to last an extra day (so three days instead of two days, that's how magic this is). Honestly, I can not believe how well this works and how long it has lasted for how cheap it is. I bought this on a whim (cause it's only $20!) and it is one my greatest purchases of all time." —madison

It's also cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I bought a beautiful creamy red lipstick that I just loved but it feathered like you wouldn't believe. I ended up not being able to wear it because I couldn't keep it on my mouth. Then I discovered this stuff. It's amazing. I can trace my lips with this pencil in the morning, wear my buttery lipstick for five or six hours, then repeat the process after lunch and not have any feathering or traveling. It's a game changer if you're into bold lip color." —Rachel

Promising review: "I love it, I am new to makeup so I was going on a whim on what to buy. This stuff is perfect! I have always had issues with my makeup staying on all day, with this primer it does just that. It is so easy to apply and it spreads out soo perfectly. It doesn't bunch up or get clumpy, it isn't sticky, and it has no smell. Doesn't irritate my eyes at all, and as you can see I even use it on my lips under matte lipgloss and it keeps my lips from feeling dry. It is a must buy, and for the price; you are getting some amazing stuff." —Beth

Promising review: "This was a lifesaver at my sister's wedding, and all the bridesmaids loved it. The navy bridesmaids gowns made this product essential. I would HIGHLY recommend for any wedding day kit, or just regular household use. It actually works as described, apparently by magical properties." —ccarp001

Promising review: "I have been using this product since June 2016. I liked it so much I added it to my regular hair routine. I use this massager both while I shampoo my hair, and on dry hair for a simple scalp massage about once a day. The massager takes 1AA batteries. It's convenient to hold, it's waterproof — so safe to use in the shower, it increases blood circulation to hair follicles, promotes relaxation, and helps remove dead skin from your scalp. It is safe to use this product with oils on your scalp. Lastly, the massager does not make a loud noise when vibrating." —A.L.B.

Promising review: "I always feel like my beauty sponge gets dirty in my makeup bag. With this case it is protected but ventilated. When I wash it and need to pack quickly, I can easily place it in this case and it dries without being contaminated from other brushes or products. I was pleasantly surprised by how much cleaner and protected my beauty sponge is with this case!" —Amanda G Sellers
Get it from Amazon for $8.00 (shipping included).
Promising review: "My long hair was a good 50% drier after five minutes in this towel vs. a hair towel I purchased two years ago. Felt weird to the touch at first. Checked the fiber content, It was because the fiber content was a polymer fabric, not cotton. The material allows it to soak up water away from the hair without the towel feeling wet. I bought three different kinds on Amazon so I could compare. This was the best of the bunch." —SM
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+(two sizes).
Promising review: "I got this to clean up the mess by my bathroom sink. It works great! It's very easy to put together. I'm not very inclined to put things together, but this was easy even for me. I love how you can move the shelves to make spaces taller or shorter." —Jessica

Promising review: "I am a makeup rebel and attack my palettes, liners, and mascaras with a vengeance. Not only do these totally protect from shadow fallout, but they serve as a perfect template for lower lid application, as well as serious smokey eye looks." —Carolyn Rome

It's cruelty-free too 😊.
Promising review: "Trippin is a very versatile shade. I used it on my bare face without any foundation. After applying it on my cheeks and eyelids, I look fresh and ready to go. This is exactly what I need for a very minimal makeup routine in the morning. I use my fingers to spread/blend the product." —iTempura
