38 Beauty Products That’ll Make You Wanna Invent A Time Machine So You Can Buy Them Sooner

Dry shampoo, clay masks, foot callus removers, and other things you'll wish you already had.

1. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer that'll fill in pores and wrinkles, giving you a smoothing layer to help your makeup go on a lot more evenly.

2. A long-lasting Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint for anyone who wants a bold color that'll go on smooth and naturally stain your lips so they stay vibrant all day long — without feeling clumpy or sticky.

3. Some Hair Dance Dry Shampoo for those mornings when you probably should've showered but simply didn't have the time. Gently rub it in to absorb excess oil and add instant volume — no one has to know! The bottle is tiny, so you can easily throw it in your bag for those *emergency* moments, but customers also note that a little goes a long way, so even a small bottle can last for months!

4. A Schick Silk Touch-Up Tool so you don't have to pay to remove peach fuzz. Plus, it works painlessly and precisely, leaving your face oh so smooth without the irritation marks that most threading or razors leave behind.

5. Some cruelty-free Nyx Control Freak Eyebrow Gel to keep your brows neat and tidy — *without* feeling sticky! Plus, it even doubles as a clear mascara that'll define, separate, and enhance your lashes' natural curl.

6. A nonirritating benzoyl peroxide body wash so powerful, it'll take care of both face *and* body acne as well as cystic breakouts by targeting acne-causing bacteria and helping clear out your pores. TL;DR tell those shoulder pimples not to get too comfy, they won't be sticking around for long!

7. A detangling brush specifically designed for natural Black hair so you can get the tangles out of wet *or* dry hair with NO pain!

12. A firming eye cream that uses vitamins and organic botanicals to rejuvenate the delicate area around your eyes — banishing dark circles, puffiness, loss of firmness, sagging skin, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and dryness, leaving you with brighter, firmer, hydrated skin *without* irritation!

Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry, thick-calloused heels for only three minutes and the callouses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Key2Del
