Promising review: "I actually LOVE the smell of this! If they made a room spray in this, I would totally buy it!! And, it cleans make up brushes really well, too! It’s so easy and quick to spray, and you can brush it on a paper towel and watch all the makeup come off. Great price, too!" —Jinnyc
Price: $15 (also available as a mini version)
This product is also cruelty-free.
Promising review: "I've nothing but good things to say about this blush. I wish I had tried it before! It has a good amount of product, plus I love the little mirror in there. The packaging is cute as well! I just dip my blush brush in and sweep it all over my cheeks. It's sheer but not in a bad way, and not glittery or overly sparkly; it has just the perfect amount. I even swipe it over my nose and across my cheeks for that cute, blushing look, which is what I love to use with this blush. You can keep building it up to the intensity that you want, which impressed me so much about this blush. I can have light or darker blush if I want. The product is soooo amazing!" —Meliths
Price: $19 (available in three shades)
Promising review: "AMAZING. I have tried many lip glosses, looking for moisturizing and lasting qualities; this has both. I have berry and grapefruit. Not much color, looks like a clear shine. Smells good, not too strong. Highly recommend if you want something natural and moisturizing for everyday use." —Kristen

Promising review: "I purchased this mini concealer today and LOVE it!! I really like all NARS products, and this is no exception. It effortlessly glides on your skin and blends out perfectly. If you like to use a lot of concealer, I suggest investing in the bigger size, you won't regret it!" —cutecass

Promising review: "Hands-down the best lash primer out there and at an amazing price point! It’s not gummy and it works with pretty much every mascara I’ve ever tried it with. It doesn’t dry out after two months like every other one. I keep it until about four months due to germs and it going bad but I always feel terrible throwing it away because it’s still creamy. Love this!" —gillyknox

Promising review: "I'm always looking for a long-lasting lip stain that doesn't dry up after a few uses and this one has exceeded all my expectations! It goes on nicely like a gloss but very quickly dries and stays put for HOURS. I love the matte versions, they are very bold. I got a ton of compliments and comments about how long my lipstain stayed on the first time I wore it. Better than all that crazy expensive stuff. LOVE." —jnikkijohnson

Promising review: "This has been my favorite eyebrow pencil. It is so easy to apply, glides smooth, and color is spot on. I am also glad that they changed the tiny ‘comb’ to a ‘brush’ for final eyebrow set. It stays 12 or more hours on until I remove it. I‘ve tried several branded eyebrow pencils and gels and I am glad that I tried the store brand. I am now loyal to this." —detdet
Price: $12 (available in 10 colors)
Promising review: "I was looking for an affordable eyeliner that I was able to smudge to give a fun, edgy look and when I came across this I thought at first it was too good to be true for the price. But I use this almost everyday — to the beach, special occasions, or just around the house. It is super easy to apply and very ‘smudgeable’." —makaylakalman
Price: $13 (available in 19 colors)
Promising review: "Well I have a new favorite nail polish brand! Magical colors, lasted five days before noticing a couple of tiny chips, and the brush is so easy to use. This is a wider brush than any other brand I’ve used, but it makes it easy to swipe on. I used two coats and a cheap top coat from Amazon. I usually only use OPI Infinite Shine, but this brand has won me over. Great price for two bottles, also." —Katiela9
Price: $15 (set of two colors)
I love this lip balm because it's ~super~ moisturizing. The "Green Dragon" shade goes on completely clear so it also makes a great base to wear under lipstick. It's ultra comfy to wear, nonsticky, and doesn't flake. Plus, the lid is magnetic and the overall packaging is really nice quality.
Promising review: "I brought this product by accident, but I am so happy I did because it is the most refreshing, moisturizing lip balm I have had! Plus, if you eat something it doesn't have a weird texture or flavor. I love this product and I will buy it again!" —Fetta
Price: $16 (available in six shades)
