We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. An oil-free sunscreen that won't break you and will protect you from the sun. You need to wear sunscreen every single day, even if you're spending most of your hours working from home! UV rays travel through your windows when indoors, meaning that you're still experiencing sun damage while working from your desk. If you don't like the feel of most sunscreens, a nongreasy formula like this one is an easy addition to your skincare routine.
2. A creamy lipstick, since the days when drying lipsticks were the only option are OVER! This formula is great because you can amp it up for a va-va-voom lip look, or blot the color down to a stain that makes it look like you just had a lollipop.
3. A clarifying serum with willow bark extract and a zinc blend that you should add to your cart IMMEDIATELY if you find yourself battling those breakouts that just won't budge. Willow bark is a fantastic exfoliant that'll clear out the pores, while zinc has anti-inflammatory properties that'll diminish redness around breakouts.
4. A clear eyebrow gel if you are after feathery, wispy brows that you can achieve in under a minute. This brow gel is one of the best drugstore options for freezing the brow hairs into place, making them look fuller and softer from the moment you put it on until you wash your makeup off at the end of the day.
5. An ice roller that I use multiple times a day to decrease puffiness, tighten my jowls, and even calm down inflammation around my occasional breakouts. Pro tip: This tool is also a godsend for when you need some cooling relief during tension headaches!
6. A Wet Brush, since brushing knots out of your hair while you're still in the shower is the name of the game when it comes to keeping your hair tangle-free! Using this will help your conditioner coat your strands more fully, while minimizing breakage that might happen during an out-of-the-shower boar bristle brushing session.
7. And while we're on hair: a moisturizing styling cream that'll have you tossing out pretty much every other curl product you currently own. When this product says pillow soft curls, it isn't kidding — this is one of the best curl creams on the market for soft, bouncy hair. This will help to expand curls and add volume for people with type 3 and 4 hair, without ever feeling crunchy!
8. A set of star-shaped pimple patches, because pimples are a part of everyone's life, so why not make dealing with them at least a little fun? These patches aren't just cute, they are hydrocolloid patches, which means they'll help to draw out all the gunk from a breakout, while significantly lessening any redness in the skin.
9. A poreless putty primer that is your secret to a shine- and texture-free glow during your day-to-day. You can wear this under your foundation for extra hold, or even wear it on its own for a natural, blurred effect.
10. A flower petal peel off mask, because what's more glamorous than masking with flower petals on your skin?! This isn't just for show, though — this mask contains calendula flower petals, which are ideal for calming any irritation in the skin while upping the ante on your glow.
11. A highlighter palette that's a 4-in-1 product for just over 10 bucks! You can use this palette all year long since it contains different shades that'll work with both your winter and summer complexions. Basically, you'll be set for the entire year when you get your hands on this bad boy.
12. A waterproof liquid liner because ~twee~ is nothing without an intense cat-eye! If you're trying out this TikTok trend, you'll want to have a super crisp liner in your makeup bag at all times.
13. A gentle retinol serum that's perfect if you're a retinol novice who's still looking to minimize fine lines, even out your skin tone, and diminish breakouts. This formula has encapsulated retinol, meaning that the retinol molecules are wrapped in a carrier system, to minimize the dryness and irritation associated with most retinol products.
14. A corrective concealer, because everyone has under-eye bags from time to time! If you find that your Zoom beauty filter isn't enough, use this concealer to even out any dark hues or puffiness under the eyes or around the nose.
15. A hydrating face cream that has pretty much everything you need to get a glow that could make aestheticians jealous. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and a peptide complex, this moisturizer gets down to the deeper layers of your skin to hydrate and help build new skin cells for a plumping effect.
16. A natural-looking foundation to trick everyone into believing that you're not wearing makeup. This foundation has medium buildable coverage that adds a very subtle dew to the skin, making it look well-moisturized and never overly oily.
17. A CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser that proves that there is no need to USE a foaming cleanser to get a deep clean! This cleanser is ideal for whisking away any traces of makeup, sunscreen, or pollution from your skin, without stripping your moisture barrier.
18. A warm baked blush for a faux sun-kissed glow. This'll allow you to add color to the tops of your cheeks, nose, and forehead without *actually* staying out in the sun and risking becoming burnt!
19. A cookies 'n' dreams eyeshadow palette that gives "feeling blue" a new and fun meaning. If you're not looking to rock blue eyeshadow every day, that is A-OK! There are a ton of cool-toned neutral shades in this palette that'll work for your classic makeup looks, too.
20. A volumizing waterproof mascara so that your killer makeup looks can last through ANYTHING — whether that's a trip to the pool, a workout at the gym, or tears of joy.
21. A dewy setting spray that is the finishing touch to your my-skin-but-better makeup routine. This setting spray will hold your makeup in place for HOURS while adding a subtle sheen to your complexion.
22. A bonding hair treatment, since having long hair doesn't mean you MUST suffer from dry ends! This treatment adds moisture and shine to your tresses without weighing them down, and works hard to build back the bonds that keep your hair strong, shiny, and frizz-free. If you have long, coarse or chemically-treated hair, this one is for you.
23. A baked illuminating blush that does more than just add a rosy flush to your complexion — it also contains shimmery pigments to add a glow to your overall look!
24. A nail strengthener to help you say goodbye to icky, brittle, post-gel manicure nails for good. ✌️
25. A refreshing watermelon toner that'll have you singing your favorite Harry Styles song every morning. This toner rebalances the pH in your skin that might've been altered during cleansing. Plus, it makes sure there is enough hydration on your skin to lock in your favorite moisturizer.
26. A curling iron in case you want the look of a beachy wave, but the nearest seashore is about 100 miles away. Say hello to your solution.
27. A daily moisturizer that's pretty much made for people with sensitive skin. If you're after deep moisture that soaks into the skin, paired with SPF protection, this is your new 2-in-1 daily go-to.
28. A matte, long-lasting liquid lipstick so that you can add some killer color without having to worry about your hair getting stuck to your lips, like it does when you wear a glossy formula!
29. An eyeshadow stick that's as easy to apply as lip balm. If you have just about zero minutes in the morning to pull your look together, try applying this eyeshadow stick onto your lids and blending it out to your crease with your ring finger. It's a process that takes under a minute to do but makes it appear as if you've been working on your makeup for hours.
30. A hugely popular bronzer, because there's no rule that says you can't emulate the glow you'd get from being in the sun all day, even if you're actually indoors working all day. Dust this onto the top of your forehead, cheeks, and nose, and people will surely think you just came back from a tropical getaway.
31. And micellar water with rose, since there really are few things in this world as luxurious as spreading rose water all over your skin. This micellar water works hard to melt away the daily grime (makeup, sunscreen, pollution — the list goes on and on), yet is gentle on your skin with a soothing rose and hydrating glycerin added inside.
