1. A tube of Benefit Bad Girl Bang mascara that is absolutely my favorite mascara of all time — it's water-resistant, smudge-proof, and actually adds tons of length and volume to your lashes with a wand specially designed to prevent clumping.
2. A black obsidian gua shua tool which is a simple, portable and long-lasting tool said to to increase circulation — plus, it pairs perfectly to help your serums and oils sink deeper into your skin, and makes you feel like you're receiving a luxurious facial every single time you use it.
3. A clear E.l.f. lip exfoliator for when you want some simple, vitamin E-infused smoothing shea butter to help slough off chapped, dry skin, and keep your smoochers perfectly plumped and conditioned.
4. A Makeup Revolution ultra contour palette that features everything you need to sculpt or add sparkle, shimmer and shine to your beautiful face. The highly pigmented colors are made to last throughout the day *and* they're vegan and cruelty-free.
5. A Thayers witch hazel toner to help you out if you're in the market for an organic, alcohol-free facial cleanser to balance out your face's pH levels and provide an excellent base for daily moisturizing. Honestly, toners *really do* help your skin soak in hydration.
6. A pack of Pixi cooling eye patches infused with vitamin C that are ideal for those days when you haven't gotten enough sleep but still want to minimize the dreaded dark under-eyes (and hydrate your skin). Go ahead, you know your under-eyes are thirsty for it.
7. A vibrating face massager tool if, like me, you suffer from a tense jaw, grind your teeth, and generally tend to hold most of your stress in your oh-so-very sensitive facial muscles. This tool also de-puffs, is said to improve muscle tone, and can help reduce dark circles, leaving you looking and feeling like a million bucks.
8. A vegan Pacifica hydrating shampoo that's ideal for dry and damaged hair in desperate need of a little TLC. Not only does this smell like vanilla (yum), it leaves your locks with a soft, silky shine.
9. A tube of Black Girl Sunscreen broad spectrum SPF 30 because your face deserves only the finest protection. Not only does this naturally-formulated sunscreen protect you from harmful UV rays, dry completely clear (no chalky residue!), and moisturize your skin as you wear it — it is also paraben, fragrance, oxybenzone, silicone and aluminum-free.
10. A seven-piece deep cleansing kit that is suitable for all skin types, and will help you really get the dirt and grime out of your skin way more than just washing with your hands and soap alone ever could. Remove pesky blackheads, exfoliate and clear the skin in that hard-to-reach area around your nose with this handy toolkit which includes two scrubbers, one cleansing pad, four double-sided extractors and an adorable lil' carrying case.
11. A bottle of essie quick-dry nail polish for those who are always on-the-go simply and simply haven't the time (or the patience) to worry about accidentally screwing up a manicure and needing to start all over again. These polishes go on strong and add a powerful yet subtle pop of color.
12. A Megababe deodorant which absolutely *won't* leave annoying residue on your clothing, glides on smooth and boasts a sweet citrus scent to boot. Did I mention this is a 2020 Glamour Beauty Award Winner?
13. A pack of press-on nails for when you aren't in the mood for a full manicure but still want the realest fake nails you've ever seen. We love an ~instant mani~. 💅
14. An unscented face mask that's great for stressed-out skin. Pop this on after washing your face, lie back in a soothing bubble bath and take a chill break while restoring your skin to its natural luster. You'll feel calm and as cool as a cucumber in no time.
15. A pair of exfoliating pedi sock masks to make your tired, aching feet feel soft and brand new. Leave these on your toes for up to an hour, and relish in the smooth-skinned afterglow.
16. A tinted lip oil so you'll get a burst of delectable African mango butter every time you apply, along with a pop of shine for that all-day awesome look and feel.
17. A Makeup Revolution eyeshadow palette that features eight highly pigmented glitter, foils, mattes and shimmer shadows, oh my. It's compact enough to travel with, and personally, I love using different shades as blush and contour, so palettes like these are *super* versatile.
18. An E.l.f. all-night setting mist with a refreshing cucumber scent, so all of the hard work you put into your daily makeup routine isn't ruined by sweat or bad weather. With this spray, constant touch-ups are a thing of the past.
19. A repairing eye stick because it's formulated with caffeine and Niacinamide, two ingredients that pack one heck of a powerful punch against puffy under-eye bags and circles, so don't underestimate based on its small size.
20. A Hero Cosmetics rescue balm which is sure to become your new go-to when a zit begins to heal (or when you, sigh, pop it — yes, we all do it). This post-blemish solution instantly smooths scaly, uneven texture, reduces redness and soothes freshly popped pimples, restoring your skin to its soft, silky glory. Pop this in your purse or keep it in the car if you're prone to picking.
21. A tube of Honest Beauty clear eyebrow gel for a quick, simple way to spruce up your beautiful brows. Groom and shape for fuller-looking brows that are *also* healthier, as this stuff is packed with brow-benefitting nutrients like castor oil.
22. An amazing ionic straightening hair brush that simplifies the otherwise tiresome process of brushing out and then flat-ironing your mane. This heats up and is ready to use within 30 seconds, brushes and straightens at the same times, and includes a carrying bag, heat resistant glove, and two hair clips. Talk about a killer combo.
23. A Winky Lux glitter puff for pure pigment glitter with zero plastic, so your glam look will also be good for the planet. Using this cruelty-free, twinkly, ocean-friendly formula adds a delightfully soft, whimsical shimmer to your face, body and hair. Shine bright like a diamond.
24. A great-smelling tropical dry shampoo with keratin that won't leave a pesky white residue in your scalp, just the sweet scent of the tropics. It works quickly to absorb grease, oil and dirt, reviving your lifeless hair to a full volume state of beauty.
25. A Milani baked blush to give your cheeks the perfect pop of color, whether you want a bold look or a warm, rosy glow — all with a little bit of shine.
26. A summertime-scented shaving foam so your legs, underarms and anywhere else you apply your razor to stays moisturized and well-protected. Forget nicks, bumps and burns with this delightful light, foamy formula.
27. A Naturium vitamin C complex serum because it works as a shield for your skin against daily environmental stressors and helps to boost and brighten your overall complexion. Simply shake, apply and wear with some SPF for supple, stunning skin.
28. An award-winning Stila waterproof eyeliner which really *does* go on great and lasts throughout the day (it's my number one for a reason). Plus, its fine precision tip makes drawing lines smooth and easy — so creating bold cat-eyes is an absolute breeze.
29. An E.l.f. putty primer to create the ideal base for your foundation, blush and contour. Not only does it smooth over any imperfections, giving your skin a poreless look, it's also infused with squalane to grip your skin great for all-day wear. You'll never want to go without it.
30. And a Juvia's Place lip liner which makes the entire lipstick-applying process a cinch, even if you're new to the game. Creamy as a dream, these glide on so smooth you almost won't *believe* they're not butter.
