    1. This 'magic' makeup removal cloth can remove even waterproof mascara, only using water!

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    If you're usually loyal to your wipes and cotton pads, using this little guy instead will reduce your waste drastically! It's super soft, so won't irritate sensitive skin, and you can chuck it in the wash with your clothes when it's due a clean – it won't leave mascara smudges on your jeans, promise!

    Price: £5.64

    2. And these satin pillowcases are the beauty best friends your skin and hair never knew they needed!

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    The super soft material causes less friction with your skin and hair which reduces flyaways and frizz and makes your skin less likely to develop sleep lines throughout the night.

    Top tip: change and wash your pillowcases regularly (at least once a week) to prevent the buildup of bacteria which can cause spots!

    Price: £6.99 for two pillowcases.

    3. These winged eyeliner stamps will help you get the *perfect* flick, every time!

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    They come in two different sizes – one for every day and another to get a more ~dramatic~ look. They both have a stamp and a liner pen on either end, so you can apply your flick and fill in the lash line in a flash.

    Price: £9.49 for two eyeliners.

    4. This makeup brush cleaner is, quite frankly, too clever for its own good.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    This brush cleaning kit includes a rotation device (which fits eight different sizes of brush handle), and a durable glass bowl so you can see the cleaner work its magic. It works by spinning your brushes in the soapy water and then in the air – they come out clean from makeup and bacteria and ready to use pretty much immediately!

    Price: £14.99

    5. This 4D mascara has thickening and lengthening effects, and is under four quid!

    6. And this eyebrow pen has a forked tip, to make your eyebrows look natural yet ~defined~.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    It's waterproof too, so it won't run throughout the day and ruin the effortlessly natural effect!

    Price: £5.99

    7. You can kill two birds with one stone with this hair straightening brush.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    8. And this ionic shower head will filter your water, making it much kinder to your hair and skin!

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    Ever gone on holiday and found that your hair became impressively smooth and your skin cleared up? Yeah, that was probably soft water working its magic. If you live in a hard water area, you'll probably recognise the impact it has on your hair and skin.
