1. This hair removing tool that'll help eliminate unwanted fuzz with minimum ouch. Reviewers are obsessed with how gentle it is on sensitive skin, and say it doesn't cause annoying ingrown hairs. And it's even effective on ultra short growth, which means you don't need to wait before trimming again.
2. Some collagen-infused lip masks that will give your smoocher a boost of softness and hydration. The hyper-concentrated formula of collagen and glycerin is great for plumping and moisturizing, and also helps to make your lips more resistant to environmental factors (like dry air conditioning).
3. These crystal nail files, so you can fix snags and chips on the go. Because they have a fine grit, they'll give you ultra smooth results. And reviewers love that they don't pull or tug at cuticles, and say they last a lot longer than old school emery boards.
4. This bestselling detangling brush that'll make short work of knots and snags, without making you feel like you're ripping your strands out by the root. Reviewers love how easily the bristles glides through all hair types — even curls and extensions!
5. These de-puffing 24K gold eye patches that'll give your tender eye contour area the TLC it really needs (and often doesn't get). Unlike other eye masks, this one targets the area all the way around your eyes, so tired peepers look refreshed and rejuvenated, even if you're feeling anything but.
6. This set of intensely hydrating sheet masks that'll make your skin feel like you just got a professional facial. Reviewers say it soothes skin irritations (like rosacea), and leaves their faces feeling soft and smooth as heck, too.

7. These hair coils that are way hardier than ordinary elastics, won't leave bumps in your hair, and won't give you ponytail headaches, either. And once they get a little stretched out, just drop them in hot water and watch them shrink right back to their original size.
"When it comes to hair ties, I'm a pretty picky person. I hate the classic ties that dig into your wrists and I wouldn't be caught dead with a regular ol' elastic in my ponytail. However, my hair is super fine, meaning it slips out of almost anything I put in it, so just any old alternative won't do. Insert: Kitsch hair ties. These coiled ties wrap around my tresses and actually stay put until I'm ready to let down my locks (you know, like Rapunzel). Also, they don't leave indents in my hair, which is a blessing since my hair is very prone to getting bent out of shape." —Alice Prendergast

8. This awesome soothing massage oil that'll help ease aches and pains, and help skin reach new levels of suppleness.

Every ingredient works hard to eliminate soreness while also helping detox the skin.
9. This Mario Badescu silver powder that's basically every blackhead's nightmare. Think of it like a plunger for stubborn, clogged pores! Dip a moist cotton pad into the powdered sugar texture, then press onto affected areas. Wipe it off after 10 minutes, and bask in your rejuvenated complexion.
Powered by kaolin clay, calcium carbonate, and zinc oxide, the powder works to draw out impurities and actually prevent blackheads. Reviewers say it's really effective, but is mild enough for people with sensitive skin. Some even mix a bit into other clay masks to maximize its effects!

40. And finally, this vibrant semi-permanent colour, because there's no faster way to feel like a brand new person than to change up your locks. This creamy amethyst shade is great on all hair colours — even dark brunettes like mine! The colour will be brighter on pre-lightened hair, but if you don't want to bleach, that works just fine. The formula will cling to light baby hairs and give you a delicate wash of colour — boredom busted!
