1. CLEO+COCO Charcoal Deodorant in Grapefruit Bergamot
ICYMI, natural deodorants are the new thing. But if you’ve been putting off replacing your usual antiperspirant because you’re worried about that little thing called an underarm detox (y’know, when your body adjusts to an aluminum-free formula), you’re in luck: This award-winning formula CLEO+COCO banishes bad scents immediately with a zesty grapefruit scent and ingredients you can feel good about. It contains activated charcoal to cleanse your skin, magnesium-rich bentonite clay to remove impurities, and plant powders to absorb excess moisture.
2. VITABRID C12 Face Brightening Powder
By now, you know all about vitamin C in serums—but have you used a vitamin C powder? This genius product from VITABRID can be mixed with any of your favorite skincare formulas (like toner, serum, or moisturizer) to add an antioxidant boost of vitamin C. Just shake the bottle to loosen the powder, combine it with another product in the palm of your hand, then smooth your new concoction over your clean face and neck. Mind = blown, and skin = bright.
3. SHEA BRAND Raw Organic Shea Butter in Rose
When it comes to body moisturizers, it takes a lot to impress us. So the first time we tried this SHEA BRAND shea butter, we were shook. The shea butter in the formula is sustainably extracted, hand-whipped, then enriched with vitamin E. Just a few swipes envelops you in a nourishing, rose-scented blanket of hydration and healing that provides a protective barrier for your skin and lasts all day long. Self-care in shea butter form, amiright?
4. FENTY BEAUTY Flypencil Longwear Pencil Eyeliner in She a Problem
FENTY BEAUTY comes out with hit after makeup hit, and we’re not mad at it. This creamy eye pencil is no exception: It’s long-lasting, creamy, super pigmented, and even water-resistant. Just twist up the retractable tip to glide on this rose gold shimmer shade, and your eye look will be poppin’ all day (no touch-ups needed!). The triangle shape of the pencil makes it easy to deposit pigment just where you want it.
5. TULA Instant Facial Dual-Phase Skin Reviving Treatment Pads
No time for a facial? No worries. These miracle exfoliators from TULA are all you need to achieve a glow in minutes. Each pad is made with cotton plant fibers and papaya fruit extracts to gently exfoliate your skin, buff away dirt and debris, and reveal a brighter-looking complexion underneath. And while those ingredients go to work, witch hazel, willow bark, and probiotic extracts help improve your skin’s balance and tighten the look of your pores for sparkling results every time.
6. POLAAR Polar Night Face Cream
Hailing from France, this nourishing cream is here to revitalize your nighttime skincare routine. The formula soaks in quickly to relax your skin while you sleep, but the real magic is in one of its key ingredients: boreal algae. This ingredient helps stimulate the microcirculation of your skin and eliminate toxins that build up throughout the day so that you can wake up to a soft, glowing complexion. So congrats—if you’ve been on the hunt for a go-to night cream, you can officially call off your search!
7. THE BEAUTY CROP Stuck On You Eyeshadow Primer
Oily girls know the struggle: Applying eyeshadow without a primer usually means creases, patchiness, and faded pigment by the time you get to lunch. That’s why this fave from THE BEAUTY CROP is such an essential: It blurs the texture of your lids, adds grip for your shadows, and even amplifies pigment, making it one of the most multitasking formulas out there. Even better, it contains pomegranate seed and grapeseed oil to retain the moisture of your skin.
8. SERAPHINE BOTANICALS Glow Lip Mask in Hibiscus + Baume
Whether you’re team lip gloss, liquid lip, or lip balm, the secret to a perfect-looking pout is a hydrating mask like this one. It's formulated with apricot, jojoba, rosehip, and evening primrose oils to keep your lips hydrated, plus sweet orange and hibiscus extracts to gently exfoliate away dead skin. Dab it on throughout the day for deep moisture, or use it before bed for ultra-soothing replenishment.
