1. The Ordinary AHA + BHA Peeling Solution reduces the appearance of the oil slick that appears on your T-zone every afternoon. With a trio of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids, it only needs 10 minutes to rejuvenate, resurface, and decrease congestion caused by the overproduction of sebum. Professional facial who?

6. Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea Curl Defining Crème replenishes ringlets like an absolute dream with a medium-hold styler that leaves curls lookin' bouncy and feelin' moisturized.

7. Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint becomes one with your skin with a luscious, buildable formula that offers a soft pigment and won't leave you with a cracked kisser. It comes with a precision applicator that moves with the natural shape of your lips, so, humblebrag...applying signature shades just got even easier.

9. Glossier Wowder softens shine as the final step in curating your selfie-ready look (no Insta filter required). I, for one, cannot stop bragging about its ability to blur pores because the moment this light powder hits, *poof* skin appears smoother and foundation stays put well into the night.
10. Colab Overnight Renew Dry Shampoo works the night shift to freshen up your sad, greasy roots. Since this stuff does the work of two products (cares while cleansing your scalp with pink clay and lavender), you and your locks can wake up feeling refreshed — and with more time to snooze!
11. Refy Sculpt Shape and Hold Gel crafts your fluffiest, most fullest brows with a gel-wax hybrid.

Perfectly groomed, beautifully full — without the commitment of having to get your brows professionally laminated.

16. Fenty Beauty Lip-Loving Scrub nurtures your kisser with a twist-up stick packed with apricot seed exfoliators to slough away dead skin. Apply this without the mess and what will you be left with? A pillowy-soft pout ready for a balm, gloss, or stain. Mwah!
17. Glossier Cloud Paint blush blends like a cream for subtle, buildable color when you want to look kissed by the sun without having to, you know, actually see the sun.

Nusrat Sultana / BuzzFeed, Glossier
BuzzFeed Writer Nusrat Sultana has this and raves: "That's me above, wearing Cloud Paint in Dawn. Reviewers note that you only need a little bit, as it goes a long way, which is great because it means the tube will last you a long time. It's so seamless and hydrating that it almost feels like a moisturizer. It's also hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested, paraben-free, fragrance-free, and cruelty-free."
This is cruelty-free, too!

Promising review: "I am such a minimalist when it comes to makeup. I used to never use blush or bronzer. A simple tinted moisturizer with some concealer and whatever. BUT CLOUD PAINT CHANGED THAT. I absolutely love the color and glow it adds to my face. And it only takes three seconds to put it on. Perfect for a makeup minimalist like me." —Jennifer T
Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in eight shades).
18. Goodal Green Tangerine Vitamin C Serum brightens up post-blemish marks with with a gel-like serum that features green tangerine that — rumor has it — contains 10x more vitamin C than the ripe orange ones! Perfect for sensitive epidermis, this gentle formula fades hyperpigmentation STAT.
19. Revlon Deep Waver Barrel sculpts impeccable waves that exude a ~I just got back from a white sand vacay~ vibe. Or, better yet, Olivia Mossbacher vibes re: White Lotus. If you, like me, were fangirling over her look the entire series this device ensures your hair will stay as sharp as her tongue...
20. Anastasia Eyebrow Highlighter Crayon conceals any makeup mistakes or pesky hairs that are growing back in, plus it defines the ends of your brows for a flawlessly clean look every single time. Pro tip: Apply this as an end-of-the-day touch-up to ensure your brows are looking sharp always.
21. Lokfar Freckle Pen simulates the appearance of cutesy lil' freckles sans UV rays. Dot this waterproof pen anywhere you'd like some *realistic-looking* faux freckles to appear — some reviewers mention blending shades of light and dark to really trick people into thinking their frecks are au naturel.

23. Mane Club One Hit Wonder recharges your tired mane with a 10-in-1 spray...yes, TEN-in-one, folks. It takes care of everything from detangling, frizzies, split ends, and even provides heat protection up to 445 degrees. Simply spritz it on your damp hair and let it do all the work, so you can get a salonworthy blowout without the price tag or the need for nine other products!
24. One Size 24-Hour Liquid Eyeliner laughs in the face of other eyeliner equivalents, because this baby is waterproof, smudge-proof, oh, and like your ever-reliable BFF, this will *never* flake on you.
25. Amika Dry Conditioner reworks two-day tresses, much alike dry shampoo but instead this softens and smooths between washes *and* provides an anti-static shield. Think of it as a detangler, a frizz tamer, and a blow out extender — that won't weigh you down. AKA, this bb will become a fast forever friend.
26. Peace Out Cleansing Balm polishes skin with a gentle combination of salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide which buff away impurities without stripping your skin. Pores? Refined. Complexion? Smooth. Moisture barrier? Never broken.
27. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray keeps makeup where you want it and not where you don't, i.e., it won't rub off on your friend's white shirt when you lean in to give 'em a hug. TBH, sweat, rain, and humidity should all just admit defeat, because they're no match for this superhero spray.
28. Mighty Patch Hydrocolloid Pimple Patches absorb pus and shrink zits ~head on~. For those who are not out of the maskne woods (me), these are great to prevent picking and, according to one of our editors, are an effective treatment to avoid scarring and hyperpigmentation.
29. Coty Airspun Oil-Reducing Setting Powder tackles daily 4 p.m. T-zone shine while locking in your concealer and foundation. Simply put, you can give your skin a quick refresh with this for a "just-applied" look anytime your face becomes more reflective than the screen you've been staring at all day.
30. Tarte Seaglass Shimmer prolongs your summer sparkle so every admirer who lays eyes on you will think that you just returned from a white-sand vacay (when in reality you've been hibernating under a blanket, obvs). Apply this nourishing, vitamin E-rich body gel to legs, shoulders, and collarbones to perfectly accessorize any date night look.
31. Maybelline Great Clear Lash Mascara grooms and separates lashes in preparation for a coat of color, or not — use alone to build length and definition if you're into the naked lash look. And, we love bonuses: This clear formula can also be used as a pomade to tame frizzy hair and flyaways or even as a brow gel!
32. Black Radiance Foundation Stick conceals and applies all-over coverage for those with darker skin tones as well as playing its role as a contour stick for lighter skin. It's creamy not chalky, and comes with a convenient built-in brush so you can evenly distribute product whichever way you decide to use it.
33. Gillette Venus Mini Razor allows you to get a clean, smooth shave on the go without the need to lug around a full-size razor. It comes complete with a matching protective case that I have been carrying around for *years* now. Toss this in just about any bag for quick touch-ups, so you can get the same results wherever you are.
