    31 Beauty Products With Before-And-After Pics That Prove They're Worth Buying

    Go on, see the results for yourself.

    1. A tube of Essence Lash Princess Mascara that lengthens lashes and adds volume at the base, just in case you're always after the *look* of falsies, but have no time to finagle with eyelash glue day in and day out.

    2. A Touch in Sol No Poreblem primer that feels lightweight while blurring pores and banishing oiliness. This product is key for having a seamless foundation application that'll actually last you all day.

    3. A pack of facial and eyebrow razors so that you can say goodbye to peach fuzz, while helping to fade dark spots and plump up the skin! Professional dermaplaning can enter the three-digit price range, so this is basically a steal.

    4. A bottle of First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub that moisturizes the skin while 10% AHA works to gently slough off dead skin cells and KP bumps.

    5. A bottle of Skinergy's Skin BHavior Resurfacing Essence that's basically like your entire 10-step skincare routine wrapped up in one! With pore-clearing salicylic acid, elastin and collagen-boosting retinol, brightening niacinamide, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and antioxidant-rich vitamins C+E, all you'll really need after this is a good moisturizer to seal it all in.

    6. A tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Base, because you work hard on your glam, gosh darn it! There's truly nothing as heartbreaking as creating a meticulous cut-crease look, only to find that the shadows have blended into each other, or have melted off mere hours after application. This primer acts as a glue to ensure that each shadow you've applied stays in place until the tail end of your day.

    7. A jar of Aztec Secret that works to dry up acne spots and reveal brighter, smoother skin in a flash.

    8. A professional-grade callus remover so that you can call off your biweekly pedicures that are really adding up. Consider this an investment — this cream softens the skin and gently exfoliates so that you'll be able to enjoy baby-smooth heels between salon appointments for way longer!

    9. Or, if you like to go the physical exfoliation route, a microplane foot file that's basically like a grater for your dry, chapped calluses. I have this tool, and I cannot begin to explain how much it has helped smooth out what was once my rock-hard soles.

    10. Or, if you're into a treatment that *really* exfoliates, a foot mask that combines chemical exfoliators to slowly peel away dead skin cells on the ENTIRE foot (not just the callused sections) so that you can renew your feet — soles and all.

    11. A peel-off liquid Magique SecondSkin nail polish barrier, because painting the nails with a non-dominant hand is virtually impossible. This barrier allows you to overstep your nail bed boundaries without needing to clean up any mess afterwards.

    12. A color-changing BYO Blush that has a pH reagent to create the perfect pink color for your skin. This is a favorite of mine, since it adds a flush to my skin while adding antioxidant protection!

    13. A bottle of Nizoral anti-dandruff shampoo since, hey, almost everyone deals with dandruff from time to time. This formula controls fungus that can cause flaking and helps relieve itchy scalps!

    14. A tube of Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum so that you can kiss your lash extension appointments goodbye — for good. This formula includes castor oil to condition lash follicles and promote longer- and fuller-looking lashes.

    15. A bottle of L'Oreal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar, if your hair is in need of a moisture treatment, but you have approximately five minutes in the morning for your entire hair routine. This formula contains both moisturizing agents *and* amino acids to rebuild your hair's structure while upping the ante on a lustrous shine!

    16. An absolutely essential Denman Hair Brush, because people who master the art of brushing out curly or wavy hair deserve a damn medal. I personally have thick, wavy-curly hair, and I love using this to gently untangle all the knots from my hair without causing damage. What used to be a 20-minute brushing process has turned into a 10-minute one, and my arms and scalp are eternally grateful for that.

    17. A two-piece eyebrow soap kit that takes just a few swipes to apply, and gives you fluffed up brows that stay put for hours.

    18. A reusable oil-absorbing Revlon Volcanic Face Roller, because no longer will you have to use wasteful single-use blotting sheets! If you find yourself powdering your T-zone or reaching for paper towels to minimize shine, you'll want to get a hold of this compact roller that'll last you (almost) forever.

    19. A pack of pimple patches that are made from hydrocolloid, aka a superstar ingredient that sucks out things like grime and pus from the skin. Pop these on overnight, and enjoy waking up to a less-inflamed and smoother acne bump!

    20. An ion generating Revlon one-step airbrush so that you can get a salon-quality blowout without spending all the time and money of an actual salon blowout.

    21. Or, if you're into the idea of rocking your curls, a Bed Head Curls diffuser hair dryer that dries your hair in a flash, without straightening out your bouncy, springy locks!

    22. A collagen coating hair protein treatment so that you can have all the smoothing and strengthening benefits of a keratin treatment without heading to the salon. This is great for fortifying the hair with proteins, aka the building blocks of strong and smooth hair strands.

    23. A set of concealing L.A. Girl Pro blemish and undereye correctors to up the ante on your current concealer game. This set color corrects blemishes, dark circles, and sullen complexions, meaning that you'll be able to enjoy an all-around even foundation application.

    24. A bottle of Tend Skin solution that will be the bane of your ingrown hairs and razor bumps! Bye-bye red, angry bumps on the underarms, legs, and bikini line, and hello smooth, even skin!

    25. A whipped Dear Dahlia Dream Velvet Lip Mousse to give you petal-soft lips and color payoff that never misses.

    26. A TruSkin Naturals Vitamin C Serum, because vitamin C is one of the best ways to protect the skin against environmental stressors, lighten post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and brighten the complexion! Add this to your morning routine, and you'll be glowing in no time.

    27. A bottle of Bio-Oil Multi-Use Skincare Oil that helps to fade dark spots on the face, but is also an industry-leading moisturizing oil that diminishes scars on the body, too!

    28. A Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant so that you can dissolve dead skin cells that would otherwise lead to dullness, loss of moisture, or even breakouts.

    29. A two-sided waterproof, smudge-proof liquid eyeliner to make creating a killer wing seamless every single time. Plus, since this eyeliner stamps on a wing pattern for you, you'll never have to worry about asymmetrical liner!

    30. A bottle of Mavala Stop, because although there is no cure to nail biting, this stop serum can still help. Why does this work, you may wonder? It has a bitter taste that tastes...really bitter, and should eventually stop you from putting your fingers in your mouth over time.

    31. And finally, a non-greasy hair finishing cream so that you can lay your baby hairs and seal flyaways without worrying about your hair frizzing back out during moments of high humidity. If you enjoy wearing your hair in a slicked-back bun, this is pretty much a necessity for nailing the look every time.
