BuzzFeed

Promising review: "I'm rarely a coloured lip gal, but when I tell you the CHOKEHOLD this balm has had on me of late — it's life changing. I mean, not really, but consider my hyperbole a signal of just how much I endorse this lippy as your best beauty buy."

6. This Dewtopia skin serum that will help your skin recover while you catch up on your precious beauty sleep.

Julia Willing/BuzzFeed

Did you know that at night, your skin switches into 'recovery mode' and is a lot more receptive to the skincare products you apply? This 20% acid blend (10% AHAs and 10% PHAs) is Ole Henriksen’s most potent formula in the collection to date and works hard to overhaul uneven skin texture, revealing a significantly smoother, renewed and brighter complexion. The Dewtopia 20% Acid Night Treatment also helps to replenish and soothe your skin thanks to the addition of aloe juice, birch sap and cotton water.

Promising review: "My skin has been absolutely manic the last six weeks — hormonal breakouts, forehead congestion, cysts on my cheeks. It's been...a lot. But I've now been using this serum nightly for about 10 days and it is a GAME CHANGER. My skin is hydrated, more supple and acne pigmentation is at last starting to fade. This is worth every penny and is going to be a staple in my nighttime routine from now on."

—Julia Willing

13. This POREfessional Lite primer that will keep your makeup looking slick AF all day every day, while smoothing your skin.

BuzzFeed / Steph Hazelton, @benefitaustralia

Promising Review: "I'm so glad I tried this gem as soon as it hit the shelves because what a game-changer! Prior to this primer, my pores would seep through my foundation in noticeable bumps and no matter how much I layered and dabbed my products, it seemed impossible to achieve the smooth, 'flawless' look my foundation claimed to produce. So I did a little test and I applied this primer as a base AND IT WORKED. Pores were masked, practically non-existent AND it felt super light, as though I wasn't wearing anything on my face. My makeup even stayed intact after a gig, so I didn't need to cringe at the sight of my face once those horrid bright lights turned on."

—Steph Hazelton

Buy it from Sephora for $25+ (available in two sizes).

14. This delicious and pretty chocolate heart pop that you can bite right into while staring into the eyes of your coupled-up friends to freak them out.

19. These lashes by Ardell that you can reuse time and time again, but still end up with flawless lashes.

Hameda Nafiz / BuzzFeed

Promising Review: "So I had been a bit of a slacker packer when I went to Coachella and one of the VERY important things that I had forgotten to bring with me was more than one pair of lashes. I didn't really want to spend money on more lashes, so I decided to try and reuse the one pair I brought over the three days. To my surprise, the lashes stayed pretty fresh — even though I generally stored the lashes on my Airbnb's side table, exposed to all the elements because I couldn't be bothered cleaning them and putting them away properly."

—Hameda Nafiz

Buy it from Beautopia for $9.95.

20. This one-of-a-kind honey balm jelly moisturiser that will illuminate your skin in one smooth sweep.

22. This tarot deck, which will provide you with a bit of enlightenment and contentment when you're feeling lost.

Amazon

Similar to the ouija board, tarot originated as a card game where people created their own fun narratives before it was used as a divination tool. But they soon realised that the tales the cards were telling were scarily related to their experiences.
