1. A pack of 15 Bliss overnight facial peel pads designed to help you wake up with supremely smooth skin. This straight-from-the-spa formula gradually releases glycolic acid over the course of the night, for brighter, smoother skin by morning.
Promising review: "This is the best stuff ever for getting clear healthy skin. I use a different face wash, then these pads, then a good vitamin c moisturizer and my skin is pimple free! Bought some for my friend and she is having same results!!" —Lanette McIntosh
Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $20.99
2. A custom hair mask created especially for your hair, because everyone's locks have their own specific needs. Answer some questions about your hair structure, scalp moisture, and hair goals, and you'll get a mask that's formulated especially for you!
Promising review: "I'm truly amazed by the results of this mask! I only have used it twice. After the first use, the change was already so noticeable. I have very long, wavy hair, and it always was frizzy and damaged, but right now it looks super shiny and it is SOOOO soft! So much easier to brush and sooo nice to touch, I'm honestly very impressed with the results, didn't expect them to come so fast and so noticeable, it's like if my hair had revived." — Lucia
Get it from Function of Beauty for $29.99+
3. A Foreo mini facial toning device that uses microcurrents to tone and firm your skin (and will make you feel fancy AF in the process).
Promising review: "It is perfect for those tiny, fine lines which actually bother me the most. I use it daily around my eyes and mouth and I always see a big difference. It's definitely a device you need to use daily or have a regular routine with, otherwise you're not going to notice any change." —Issahd
Get it from LookFantastic for $199 (available in two colors)
4. A tube of Glossier's luminous bronzer crème for a sunkissed look without the sun damage. Transform into a bronzed bada** with this tan in a tube.
5. An ''avocado toast'-inspired eyeshadow palette with 16 colors, so your look can match your brunch. Guac, but make it glam.
Promising review: "The greens and teals pear perfectly with the peachy pink nudes and browns. Excellent pigmentation as always, shimmers and metallics work best with a wet brush (not a complaint, just a tip). Beautiful beautiful and unique color story!" —Teagan M.
Get it from BH Cosmetics for $10.80 (originally $18).
6. A Mario Badescu facial spray, because a multi-purpose facial mist is always a good idea. Skincare prep? Mist! Setting your makeup? Mist! Midday pick me up? Mist yourself, friend.
Promising review: "I like to apply this after I do my foundation. I let it dry, then I do my contouring, eye make up, and then I spray it again to set it. I love the way it makes my skin glow." —Ismael Ugarte
Get it from Amazon for $5.95+ (available in five sizes)
7. An ice facial roller for those mornings after when you need a little help depuffing. Store this sleek tool in the freezer, then when you need it, pop it out and get ready to roll.
Promising review: "I’m not usually one to take the time to write a review, but I TRULY love this roller! I have used it several times and always roll one side of my face at a time. The immediate difference is noticeable, even to my kids. It reduces puffiness and makes my skin look younger and tighter. It’s also great when I’m getting a headache…just a few passes with the roller and my headache is soothed." — Tara Cain
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (originally $14.99)
8. A Fenty Beauty makeup primer, because it's from Rihanna. Do I even need to say more? Rihanna, people. Rihanna. (Okay, fine, I'll say more — it's lightweight, it hydrates, and helps your makeup last all day long).
Promising review: "I have dry sensitive skin and this is my favourite primer! It leaves your skin dewy, hydrated and makes the makeup look absolutely flawless (I don’t use fenty foundation or concealer, this primer goes great with other foundations and concealers). On top of it, if I don’t feel like wearing foundation that day, I do find that just wearing the primer alone is still great, my skin’s imperfections look blurred and my skin feels softer. Seriously recommend!" — alexedb
Get it from Sephora for $17+ (available in two sizes)
9. A customizable Glossier skin and lip balm trio for a perfectly primed pout. Choose your favorite scent and tints, and then get ready to make three new best friends.

10. A pack of under-eye patches that'll help you fake a full night's rest in minutes. These vegan patches de-puff and hydrate, making them MVPs of your new morning routine. Giant iced coffee, eye patches, and pajamas — mmm, heaven.
Promising review: "I saw these being used by Orlando Soria of HGTV, so I purchased them. I was expecting them to be soothing but omg, they actually worked! I have less under eye wrinkles, my under eye area looked plump and felt great! I don't think the effect lasted long term, but I will keep using these for sure! They are super easy to use. After ten minutes, I poured more of the liquid onto the patches and reapplied them for a little while longer. Loved them! (I have super sensitive skin and these did not irritate my skin or eyes at all)" —Anna Uriburu
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 24 count or 30 count packs).
11. A Bliss vitamin C + tri-peptide serum for all the glow-getters out there. Boost your brightness, increase your bounce, and protect skin from free radical damage with this super serum.
Promising review: "GREAT!! I had a frown wrinkle from when I squint starting to form between my eyebrows, which made me very insecure.. I’ve noticed a significant change in it to almost gone! My skin is also probably in the best shape it’s been in a while, noticeably brighter." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.94 (originally $27)
12. A bergamot bath soak filled with relaxing magnesium, potassium, and calcium, so you can have big bath energy. Scoop up this soak, grab a (giant) glass of wine, and do bath time right.

Promising review: "THIS. THING. IS. AMAZING. I have literally never had clearer skin. It does exactly what it says it does, erases your makeup. Waterproof or not, it all goes away with just a little water and a little bit of scrubbing. I will forever be amazed by this. Never buying another makeup remover product again." —Brittany

Get it from Amazon for $17
15. A Glossier hyaluronic acid + vitamin b5 serum, because your skin needs a little more ~spring~ in its step. Surge your skin with superior hydration, for a positively soft complexion with a ton of bounce.

Promising review: "Love this eyeliner so much, honestly it may replace my Tarte Sex Kitten Liner. It does dry super fast though, so definitely not mistake friendly like the Tarte one but if you prefer an actual brush over a felt tip this might be your holy grail. It just might be mine now." —Ida

I find that it works just as well as any of the more expensive, chemical-filled cleaners I have bought in the past. It leaves my makeup brushes and sponges clean, soft, and smelling great! I would definitely recommend this cleaner!" —Sarah S
Get it from Amazon for $6.51
26. A dry brush so you can stimulate circulation and brush away dead skin cells for seriously smooth, soft skin.
Promising review: "Just started dry brushing, in winter, in a dry climate — yikes. I Thought for sure this brush might be too coarse for slightly dry skin. Buuuut I'm on my sixth day using now and it works GREAT! The whole 'dry brushing' thing only took about three days to get used to and now I love it. This brush works perfectly and the little rubber knobs I think add to the smoothness of the brush. Also, the hand strap is sooooo necessary!" —Annette Smith
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (originally $11.99)
27. A Glossier hand cream that'll make your hands as smooth as a baby's bottom (or whatever your personal smoothness goal is). Pop this portable cream in your purse for soft hands on the go.

29. A SPF lip treatment so you can shield your perfect pout from the sun's damaging rays. Smother your smackers with mega moisture and SPF 15.
Promising review: "It's not fragrant, and not sticky at all. It glides on very easily and stays on quite awhile. The best part is the plastic dispenser — the cap twists one way to come off (rather than pulling straight up), and then the balm rises up by twisting the other way. This prevents it from coming apart in your purse, and making a mess! The size is just a bit larger than the usual drug store balms and it is well worth the price." — Ms. Teacher
Get it from Amazon for $34.99
30. A hemp-infused whipped body cream that's the perfect lotion to follow your body brushing session. Lock in mega moisture with pure hemp seed oil for nourished, soft skin.
Promising review: "I ordered the Hempz Natural Triple Moisture Herbal Whipped Body Cream for all-day moisture. I had never used this body cream before. I was looking for something for summer that would not harm self tanning products. This lotion is fabulous. It smooths on easily, is non-greasy and makes your skin feel wonderful. It has a soft peach scent. This may end up being my year round go to cream. The product shipped very fast." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in two sizes and in one or two-packs).
31. A Moroccan Oil color depositing mask, because why talk about your Big Moods, when you can *temporarily* dye your hair about it instead? The masks soothe and smooth hair, while also dying it pink, blue, purple or even the classics like blonde and brunette.
Promising review: "I have dark blonde to light brown hair with platinum blonde highlights and some gray hair in the mix. I absolutely love this. It was so much fun for a temporary change. I left it on my hair for about 30 minutes (I know, I am a rule breaker). It smelled very nice and was very conditioning. My darker hair took a little bit of color, it deposited nicely on my highlighted hair but did not on my gray. It blended well and I was very pleased with the results. It did not turn out a rose gold color on my hair it had more of a lavender tint to it. I still loved it. I may get the Hibiscus and mix it 50/50. I was concerned it would stain my processed hair. But it was completely washed out in six washes. It faded evenly and I really enjoyed it and got tons of compliments." — Larry's Lady
Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in nine colors)
32. A CC cream that'll replace all your full coverage foundations. This lightweight cream blends like a boss and provides the perfect amount of coverage while letting your skin shine through.

34. A stainless-steel gua sha that'll help you achieve the perfect facial massage at home. Glide it upwards and outwards motions to de-puff skin, increase circulation and aid with lymphatic drainage.
Promising review: "Very happy with purchase. No worries of it breaking like the jade or stone versions. The cool metal feels amazing when applying facial serums or creams. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin, especially with puffy under-eyes. Easy to clean. I even bought one for my mom!!" —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $8.59+ (available in three shapes)
