Promising review: "This works. I am a greasy monster and this stuff really kept me mostly matte all day. I am continually impressed by this brand again and again. You only need to use a tiny amount, so the price is actually reasonable." —Ania Elzbieta

They're Leaping Bunny-certified cruelty free.
Promising review: "This is the third tube of Jouer tinted moisturizer I've purchased. I've tried every BB cream, CC cream, foundation, and tinted moisturizer I can find, and this is the best! It has buildable coverage and feels like nothing on my skin. I have dehydrated, combination skin with some sun damage and Jouer makes my skin look glowy, dewy, and young. It also easily goes to a matte finish with a dusting of translucent powder." —M. Nicew

Promising review: "What did I ever do without this product?! I look like I have lots of hair now! No need for gels, sprays, hair rollers, or whatever else claims to volumize my thin hair, which prefers to lie flat no matter the season. Never stop making it." —Badger Woman

Promising review: "I have been using this product for the past three years or so and love it! I have ventured over to trying different CC and BB creams (always with some tint) along the way, but I inevitably come back to this one. My skin is what I would consider problematic and sensitive — large pores, easily dries out in some areas but then overcompensates with oil in other areas, causing breakouts. This cream has been able to stabilize oil production and reduce breakouts. I'm never dry or too oily, and the SPF works well." —Amazon Customer
Get the Stem Cellular CC Cream for $39 (five shades).

Promising review (for the face gloss): "I love this stuff! I apply it to my cheek bones to highlight them — a great alternative when I don't want to use blush/illuminator." —Tripthelight
Get the Face Gloss for $25 and the Bronze Cream Gel Liner for $23.

Promising review: "I have had cracked, peeling, bleeding, and very chapped lips my entire life. I have tried everything out there in hopes of relief. Then I watched a favorite beauty YouTube guru, who mentioned this balm in a video, and I had to buy it. It's winter here in NY and I needed relief. As soon as it arrived, I slathered it on. Hooray!! This stuff works. The hard crusty skin that splits when I smile...gone!! If you have chronic chapped lips like me, you need this stuff. Best lip balm ever!!" —Baker
Get the Lip Slip One Lux Balm for $24 (which happens to be the brand's #1 bestseller for nine years now, nbd).
Promising review (for the contour palette): "Recommended to me by a professional makeup person. I'm a klutz when it comes to makeup, so I really like this product. A big plus is that my overly sensitive eyes are fine with it. I also use this to color in my eyebrows. I like the multi-use design because it means less time spent in the morning." —The Bug
Get the Pro Contour Palette for $45 and the Alter Ego Lipstick for $18 (28 colors).
They never test on animals.
Promising review: "This polish is awesome and adds a great finish to any base polish. I have received so many compliments on my nails since I've started using this. Even from professional nail techs! I will be purchasing more." —Macey Cox
Get the Nail Polish for $18 (available in 26 shades).
Promising review: "This is a healing product for the skin. It is the best protectant I have found for lips and heals chapped lips in a twinkle! I use it on nails before I go to bed at night. The results are worth the odor. Great to soften elbows. Use it on heels and on balls of feet then put on old pair of socks and take care of dryness." —MJP
Get the Grand Entrance Dramatic Volume Mascara for $24 (two shades) and Eight Hour Cream for $22.
Promising review: "Can't live without this. I can't use any sunscreens without breaking out or getting red and inflamed. I also have lots of freckles and need to wear sunscreen so they don't turn into a huge spot. This is the only thing that works for my skin and I have been using it for at least 11 years now, rain or shine. Great product for people with acne and sensitive skin." —Amazon Customer
Get the Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen Brush for $57 (three shades) and Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Brush for $64 (four shades).
They never test on animals.
Promising review (for the nail polish): "LOVE THIS POLISH!!! It really does last and I am hard on my nails. It is worth the extra money. I don't need to get gel polish because this one lasts so long, which cuts my salon manicure costs in half." —L. Lefko
Get the Patent Shine 10x Heritage Collection Nail Lacquer for $18 (35 shades) and the Lippy Liquid Lipstick for $18 (12 shades).
They never test on animals.
Promising review (for the hair oil): "I am absolutely in love with this 'liquid gold.' I have tried all of the usual suspects when it comes to argan oils — Josie Maran, Moroccanoil, and countless others. What makes this product stand out is the consistency of the oil — not syrupy thick, yet not watery at all. You have to warm it in between your hands a bit and then it simply melts into your hair, totally sealing the dry ends and giving incredible shine. It has also cut down on the drying time! Bottom line, my hair has never looked better. And like all Oribe products, it smells amazing!" —nc
Get the Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil for $38+ and Dry Texturizing Spray for $22+.
Promising review: "I was completely skeptical about this product...who wouldn't be? I wear a lot of makeup and spend more time than I want taking it off with various products, makeup remover pads and cloths, etc. Well, it does everything it says it does. My makeup comes off with water in a minute — far less time than it used to take me. The cloth can be used several times before it needs washing and when I do wash it, it comes out as good as new. I now have purchased them for friends and family and bought the mini ones for travel." —Kindle Customer

Promising review (for the serum): "Affordable and effective! Most vitamin C serums are really expensive, but this is $40, and it works just as great! It evens out discoloration in a matter of days. I even put it on my body if I have a bug bite scars that cause darker spots, and this serum helps get rid of it in a matter of days! Love!" —Nk0117
Get the Facial Spray with Aloe Herbs and Rosewater for $7+ and Vitamin C Serum for $45.
Vegan and cruelty-free (they never test on animals).
Promising review: "It's one of those small, everyday luxuries, like clean sheets or a fluffy bathrobe, that just makes me feel pampered. I recently got an Invisalign and have to brush my teeth approximately 1,000 times a day, and using this jasmine mint toothpaste (I bought the smaller tube to keep with me all the time) has made it considerably more pleasant." —Rachel Wilkerson Miller

Promising review (for the brush cleanser): "I thought my previous makeup brush cleaner was good up until I used this one. It is unbelievable how much better this cleaned out all of the old, nasty makeup. I sprayed this on a brush and wiped the brush on a tissue — appalled at how much makeup came off because that meant the other cleaner didn't do anything. It will also be easier to clean my brushes daily. Not only does it clean better, but it smells better too. I love the clean citrus scent. I won't be going back to the old brand ever, or any other for that matter." —Amazon Customer
Get the Makeup Brush Cleanser for $14+ (two scents) and Power Curl Eyelash Curler for $21.
Promising review: "I've always been really bad about removing my makeup before bed but this stuff is so gentle and easy to use that I've started a whole nighttime routine around it." —Jennifer Newton
Get the Sensibio H2O Micellar Water for $6.90+ (available in three sizes).
And they're cruelty-free.
Promising review: "This product is phenomenal. It leaves you feeling clean and really refreshed. It's great as a 'wake-me-up' in the morning or as a reward after a tough gym session. My girlfriend can't get over how wonderful the Italian lime and pomegranate scent is and has taken to using it herself." —Michael Hubbard
Get the Citrus and Herbal-Musk Deodorant for $19.
Promising review: "This is my favorite. Every so often, I am lured away by a lower-priced brand, but then I always return. Not the cheapest by a long shot, but a tube lasts a while since a little goes a long way. Not perfumey either (which is nice if you have allergies). Once you rub it in, there is no greasy feeling afterwards. I use it right after my shower. I really like it in the winter as a cure for 'winter feet' (ashy, dry, and cracked — yuck)." —SRK
Get the Mineral Foot Cream for $18.40+ (two sizes).
They're Leaping Bunny-certified cruelty free.
Promising review: "Unique and fragrant scent, luxurious suds, thick formula so you only need a little, and leaves your skin moisturized and lightly scented. Your whole shower will be infused with this scent. I highly recommend this as a gift to yourself or a friend who needs some pampering." —T. Robles
Get the Body Wash for $30 and Body Lotion for $42 (eight scents).
