Promising review: "These patches are amazing. I popped them on after my nighttime routine on any breakout I had and went to sleep. In the morning I gently peeled it off and the pimples are not only smaller but the patch absorbed any gunk without popping the pimple. It truly helps heal pimples." —Yes

Promising review: "I couldn't resist this after I used it for the first time. It pairs really well with any skin tone! I use this when I'm not tan and it's poppin'. I use it when I am tan and it's still poppin'. Every person should have one of these as a makeup staple!" —jessu369

Promising review: "Oh. My. God. This product made a noticeable difference after just one use. I woke up in the morning with smooth, glowy skin. It’s a little pricey, but it is completely worth the money. You only need a little each night, and the results are almost immediate. I have been telling all of my friends about this."—Riley

Promising review: "Feels like pearls on your skin. The product is so nice I almost don't care if it works, but it does. It controls shine but doesn't dry out your skin. It did not irritate my skin or cause any breakouts. Feels very light and luxurious. Your makeup will go on so nicely you will love it." —elliebenadi

Promising review: "The best foundation I have ever owned! I have never tried a foundation that is full coverage buildable but it still looks like your 'skin'! And I finally found the exact match for my skin super easy and fast. With the variety of colors it comes in it's overwhelming!" —Maria
Price: $35 (available in 50 shades)
Promising review: "I love this setting spray. It makes my foundation last so much longer and feels fresh all day. This is a must-have in my makeup routine! You can use it with both powder and liquid foundation. It prevents me from feeling oily throughout the day." —Courtnicole
Price: $33 (available in three sizes)
Promising review: "Honestly this product is so amazing! It's an instant eye look that's beautiful for day or night wear. It's so easy to apply and makes doing makeup quick! For work I'll put one of these all over my eye with some mascara. At night I'll just add some dark in the crease and some eyeliner. I highly recommend this product!" —AmandaAmore

Promising review: "I try every new product under the sun to help tame my unruly hair. With OUAI I could immediately feel my hair becoming smooth as I used it because of the richness of the product. After just one use, my dry, kinky, wavy hair became shiny, healthy, and fully of body — even the nastiest grays that pop up relaxed. My hair actually feels so soft too. And, the bonus is the lovely fragrance of fresh flowers that feels like I’m walking through a garden. I love, love, love OUAI. I’d be extremely surprised if you didn’t too." —Sclancy
Price: $32
Promising review: "This is so far the best cleansing mask I've used. (I've tried several of the most popular cleansing masks in the market.) I have combination skin. This mask cleanses out most of the whiteheads and blackheads on my nose without drying out my skin — and guess what — it helps to relieve cold symptoms as well. It contains camphor, which reduces coughing and makes you breath better. It's a great product. It does what it says, and comes with an extra function." —Ina1984
Price: $85
Promising review: "Huge fan of this product. I apply under my eyes and over concealer using a damp beauty blender and then a small amount all over using a powder brush. I used to get shiny halfway through the day but when I combine this product with setting spray, I stay matte!" —hannahh1
Price: $39 (available in three shades)
Promising review: "This was the first eyebrow product I've used for filling my eyebrows and will continue to be my go-to. It's easy to use and quite forgiving, especially if you're a beginner and don't exactly know how to fill and/or shape your brows just yet." —parkji
Price: $23 (available in 10 shades)
