    19. A Differen acne spot treatment gel for when your other gentle treatments just aren’t cutting it. This one— with its efficacious formula made of Adapalene (an ingredient similar to retinoid that's suitable for everyday use)— will eliminate stubborn acne, halt breakouts in their track, and prevent new acne from returning to your cheeks, chin, and forehead.

    22. A set of oh-so-satisfying Bióre pore strips to remove blackheads, dirt, and other gunk from clogging your pores. By using their patented C-bond technology, the strips are able to lift the pore plug instead of just the surface level gunk—a.k.a it really gets a deep clean.

    23. A Baby Foot original foot peel exfoliator that’s equally disgusting and satisfying at the same time. While it’s just a tad gross, the results are SO worth it — it peels an entire layer of dead skin off your foot.

    26. A Stila Stay All Day waterproof liquid liner because sometimes— i.e. during a sad movie or work — you don’t want your perfectly-winged liner streaking down your face.

    27. An amika Perk Up dry shampoo to help keep your day two blowout (or, let’s be honest three or four) extremely fresh. It’s delicious-smelling scent will ensure your hair smells good *and* it’ll add heaps of volume.
