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 NYX Professional brow glue that's non-sticky and has a hold so strong, you won't ever have to think twice about how your brows are holding up. Your roomie will def *raise* their eyebrows with interest when they see you sporting it.
2. A high-performance makeup brush cleaner if you're sick of looking at your filthy brushes (and thinking about all the bacteria built-up on them, yuck) and want your fluffy tools and sponges to be brand new again without the need for buying more.
3. A buildable L'Oreal Paris mascara for full, feathery soft, voluminous lashes to absolutely ~lust~ over. Use a lash primer first before applying to create an even bolder eye look.
4. A multi-award winning anti-frizz spray if you have hair that, like mine, retains moisture to an alarming degree. This stuff is no match for even the *toughest* of humidity, and works for days on end after applying, rehydrating your hair and leaving it shiny as heck.
5. Or an intense hair protein treatment to improve your mane's strength and treat damaged locks while making them easier to comb through and care for on the daily. A winner you'll def want to keep from your roommate.
6. A cuticle oil if too many trips to the nail salon have left your poor nails dry, brittle, and in need of a little love. Packed with almond oil, vitamin E, and jojoba, it softens and strengthens your nails with no manicure necessary.
Promising review: "I was skeptical that this wouldn't do anything for my fragile nails. Four months later I'm stunned that my nails are not chipping and peeling like they used to, and even the ridges are diminishing. When I look at the quarter-inch or so of growth from the nail bed that has occurred since I started using this product, I see nice smooth healthy nails. I can't wait to see what they look like several months from now when the entire nail has had a chance to grow out. I apply the oil all around the nail including under the tips of the nails before I go to bed most nights and massage it in while I watch the evening news. It is good to know nice nails are not a thing of the past even though I'm over 50-years-old." —All His 247
Price: $6.93+ (available in three sizes)
7. A brilliant lash-enhancing serum to apply once daily, then wait and watch as short, thin lashes become long, thick, and swoon-worthy. Is it magic? It just might be.
8. An 18-piece makeup brush set complete with high-quality, pro brushes and its own little carrying case so you needn't worry about accidentally losing your fave tool ever again — unless your roomie goes snooping...
9. A concealer that effectively evens out your skin tone, covers up pesky dark circles, makes a fantastic makeup base *and* leaves your skin glowy and dewy. Talk about a multi-threat beauty product.
10. A top-of-the-line, classic Beauty Blender makeup sponge which is the perfect partner for all forms of primer, foundation, highlighter, and concealer, ensuring a smooth, seamless blend every single time. Yeah, it's just that good.
11. A purple shampoo if you've got highlights, bleached hair, balayage, or just simply want to tone your grey, light, or streaked hair while sealing the cuticle and leaving your locks soft, silky and smooth. Say bye-bye to yellow and banish brassiness for good.
12. An NYX Professional setting spray for a Photoshop-worthy flawless finish without leaving any residue or shine behind. Simply spritz it a few times and lock in your look, beautiful.
13. A vibrant eyeshadow palette full of highly pigmented, *eye-catching* colors which won't flake and will always blend beautifully together. Pro-tip: use the wheel to better select and blend two complementary colors (e.g. purple and yellow) to really make your eyes shimmer.
14. A lightweight, brightening L'Oreal liquid foundation to give you a true skin glow-up, leaving it delectably smooth, hydrated and brightened with its luminous mineral pigments. 🌟
15. A cruelty-free NYX Professional butter gloss to leave your lips silky smooth and supple. They smell so good that you and your roomie might just be tempted to snack on 'em (hey, no judgment). 💋
16. A pack of washable, reusable cleaning cloths for an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable makeup wipes. Scrub off all that gunk and goo and leave your face fresh and flawless again. Psst, they're also sensitive skin friendly.
17. A water-resistant L'Oreal root cover-up spray because monthly salon visits are costly and this method is way easier, more affordable and less time-consuming. Conceal gray or roots with ease in just seconds.
18. A multiuse skincare oil you can use for a variety of skin issues, from uneven texture and stretch marks to acne scars. This sensational stuff contains retinol, which helps to clear acne, and unclog and exfoliate pores, though it does require a little extra sunscreen as it also heightens sun sensitivity.
Promising review: "Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it as twice a day — morning and before I go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see notice the changes. I am 71 years old. No one paid me to write this." —Amazon Customer
Price: $21.49+ (available in three sizes)
19. A gentle, volumizing shampoo and conditioner set formulated with jojoba and argan oil that many reviewers rave will help combat thinning and get your mane back to its full, thick splendor.
20. A waterproof winged eyeliner stamp perfect for peeps who've never quite mastered the art of "winging it" (get it?) when it comes to lining their lids. Use the stamp and connect the line and boom, there you go: stellar cat eye sharp enough to kill a man.
Promimsing review: "I am a 50-year-old woman who is ridiculous about trying out new makeup trends. I have been wearing my eyeliner winged since my teen years, and although I have gotten pretty good at applying my wings, I always seem to have one thicker than the other, or at an odd angle, most likely due to my eyes not being perfectly even. So when I saw a review of this product, I thought, what the heck, I will try it. Well ladies (and guys who wear liner), this winged liner set is one of the best purchases I have ever made in the cosmetic world. It is so simple and I can't believe how quickly I was able to give myself the absolutely, flawless wings! If eyes could fly....worth every penny." —Molly
Price: $14.97 (available in three styles and a combo pack)
21. A cult-favorite, multiuse NYX Professional jumbo eye pencil so versatile, you'll wonder what you ever did before you owned it. Use it for eyeshadow, eyeliner, highlighter, or to line your lids in stunning color. It's the best kind of beauty travel companion.
22. A L'Oreal anti-redness BB cream to combat redness while delivering a natural-looking, neutralizing base to your highlight, blush, and contour. Honestly, you don't even need to use primer or foundation with it, it works so well.
23. A flat hexagon blending brush with a unique petal design that's oh-so-easy to hold, soft as a feather, and guaranteed to give you a poreless, professional finish.
24. A six-piece matte liquid lipstick set chock-full of velvety, waterproof shades that dry fast and won't fade or smudge even if you eat or drink...which you kinda have to, anyway, since you're only human.
25. A pack of portable, reusable wispy faux mink lashes that come in the CUTEST glittery colored cases I've ever seen, making them all the easier to tuck away and hide from your roommate (unless you're in the mood to gift a pair, of course).
26. A buildable Milani powder blush for a lil' shimmery, soft, highlighting color on your face which never looks caked on or too intense. Tip: start at the apple of your cheek and gently swipe up and away.
27. And a blendable Maybelline concealer to erase dark circles, color-correct redness, and brighten your skin all at once, like a true beauty triple threat should. That price is pretty darn perfect, too.
