    1. This metallic Maybelline highlighter in the shade Rose Gold that’s going to make your face glow brighter than your future - ₹357

    Shivani Agrawal

    Shivani, our team editor, had this to say about the highlighter - "I've utilised quarantine to learn how to do makeup. Out of all the products I've been using, my favourite is definitely the Master Chrome Highlighter in the shade 'Molten Gold.' Not only does it add a chic finish to my extremely basic makeup skills but also just makes me shine to the gods, which I absolutely love! It is super soft and creamy, which is rare for highlighters and even just a smidge is enough to give you a blinding glow. Both 'Molten Rose Gold' and 'Molten Gold' are perfect shades for darker brown skin tones. They actually make your skin look golden and don't feel like 'caked-on shine.' I might not be the greatest at makeup....yet, but at least this highlighter makes me feel like an invincible golden goddess and that is all I care about!"

    11. This gentle, fragrance-free facial cleanser that is perfect for people with sensitive or dry skin - ₹489

    Swapna Ravichandran

    I personally use this product on a daily basis and can not recommend this enough. I have pretty sensitive skin and most facial cleansers are super hard on my skin and leave it extremely dry. This one almost feels like a cream, is super gentle on the skin and doesn’t have a strong fragrance like most other face cleansers. Get it here.

    Swapna Ravichandran

    Ever since my derm recommended this cream to me, I’ve become a total Cetaphil convert. This cream is perfect for both summers and winters because it’s super light and non-sticky, but does a great job is hydrating my skin. My favourite part is that it doesn’t have a fragrance, and makes my skin look really glowy, without any makeup. Get it here.

    17. This leave-in conditioner that tames your hair, controls frizz and has a delicious coconut fragrance - ₹461

    Swapna Ravichandran

    This is a product that I’ve been using for over a year now and can’t recommend enough. I’ve been growing my hair for sometime now, and since I wear it in a bun most of the time it gets knotted up pretty often. This leave-in conditioner helps in detangling my stubborn knots, and definitely adds some shine to my hair too. Get it here.

    18. And finally, this after bath body oil to give your skin some added moisture and hydration now that it’s going to get colder - ₹88

    Swapna Ravichandran.

    This is another product I personally use and love. I love giving my skin as much moisture as possible after a shower, so I mix a few drops of this oil along with my regular body lotion, and it makes my skin feel so much more hydrated. It also has a mild fragrance that doesn’t overpower the lotion, which I love. Get it here.
