1. A firming eye cream that relies on natural ingredients like sunflower seed oil and hibiscus flower extract to brighten, hydrate, and restore the under-eye area.
2. A dual hair dryer and brush to cut down on drying time AND give you salon quality results. Make sure to apply a heat protectant to your hair before blow-drying and work through your hair in sections.
3. A reviewer-loved Mane Club leave-in spray that honestly might be the only hair product you'll ever need. It smooths, softens, hydrates, detangles, protects against heat damage, minimizes frizz, etc. etc.
4. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara because who doesn't want thick beautiful lashes with minimal effort??! Also, buying a tube of this $5 mascara is WAY easier than putting on false lashes. Just saying.
5. A hydrating primer that's formulated with green tea extract and collagen to moisturize and smooth skin. You'll be amazed by how flawless your makeup application is after using it!!!
6. A NYX liquid eyeliner for smudge-proof eyes that won't budge until you're ready to take them off. Reviewers say this eyeliner stays put through tears, sweat, and rain.
7. A juicy lip scrub that'll slough off dry skin and leave you with noticeably soft lips. PSA — exfoliating your lips regularly helps your lipsticks and other lip products go on wayyyyy smoother!
8. A NYX tinted brow gel for full and soft eyebrows that aren't crunchy or fake looking. It will give your brows the slightest hint of color, so if you're going for a bolder look you might want to use an eyebrow pencil as well.
9. A moisturizing conditioner that works sooooo well you're gunna wonder how you ever lived without this product. Standout ingredients include shea butter, jojoba oil, and silk amino acids.
10. A highly pigmented Milani baked blush to perk up your complexion and make you look wide awake even if you were up until 2 a.m. scrolling through TikTok.....🤷🏼♀️
11. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, which is a deeply conditioning hair mask that restores shine, softness, and bounce. It's super easy to use and takes legit five minutes (apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait 5–20 minutes, and rinse it out).
12. A Coty loose face powder that can be used as foundation OR layered on top of your makeup as a setting powder. Reviewers say it blends well and gives them an absolutely ~flawless~ finish.
13. A vitamin C-based face serum for all skin types that helps you achieve firmer, brighter skin. Get ready to say goodbye to hyperpigmentation. Reviewers love the consistency (it's not sticky like other serums) and the amazing results!!!
14. A long-lasting NYX matte lipstick so you can rock a bold lip for 12+ hours and never worry about it sliding off. It's a miracle in a tube.
15. A cruelty-free brightening facial scrub to de-gunk your pores and soften skin with almost no effort. Apply a small amount to wet skin, gently massage with your fingertips, and rinse off!
16. A multi-use concealer for quick touch ups throughout the day. The cushion applicator feels incrediblyyy relaxing to use and helps the formula blend. P.S. — reviewers say it provides medium coverage.
17. A waterproof eyeliner stamp so you can stamp 'em on and fly out the door when you're inevitably running *very* late for something. If your hands tend to shake when you apply eyeliner (me lol 😅😅😅) this product is for you.
18. A Rimmel setting spray that's shockingly effective AND affordable. It can be used under or over makeup to lock everything in place no matter what you're up against (rain, insane heat, sweat, tears).
19. A lace front wig when you feel like changin' it up but don't want to spend a ton of $$$. Reviewers say the wig is soft, shiny, and bouncy right out of the box!
20. A jar of CeraVe's face and body moisturizer for head-to-toe hydration without the greasy residue. It's fragrance free, safe for sensitive and acne-prone skin, and contains three essential ceramides (which help restore your skin's natural barrier).
21. A L'Oréal heat protection spray to shield your locks from heat damage and boost shine. You can spray it on dry *or* damp hair before styling as normal.
22. A dark spot corrector that'll leave you with bright and glowy skin when used consistently. A little goes a long way and reviewers recommend applying a very small amount at first!
