I'm so glad you are reading this because I rejoice in passing on beauty products that I have success with to basically anyone who will listen. I don't tend to spend a fortune either and I try and find products that give more bang for their buck. The best part about the wonder of Amazon.com is that you can pretty much purchase anything on there these days including your favorite cult beauty products. So instead of browsing the endless pages of Amazon.com at the vast number of products that have lovely packaging, but let's face it, might not actually work. Think of me like your personal filter so you can get to the products - and I will explain what they do and why they are good - so you don't have to test junk and get right to the good stuff. I have put a couple of different retinols in the list as it really is a miracle product as well as some makeup favorites. I've tried to stick to the products I most like so this list contains the 37 of the holy grail beauty products that you need to know about.
We hope you find these products as awesome as we do. Just an FYI: We are a participant in the Amazon affiliate program, and may receive a share of sales from links on this page. Prices on Amazon fluctuate so anything mentioned below might change as soon we publish it!
This Eye Balm Brightens Skin and Reduces Dark Circles
I apply foundation and concealer in the morning, but within a couple of hours my under-eye area looks dull and dark. I've learned that reapplying concealer leads to a baked, caked look. Instead, I rely on this Eye Balm that can be swiped on all day long for a rosy, glowy, brightening effect!
This Keratin Hair Mask to Repair Color Treated Hair
Amazon.com
I color my hair every few weeks to cover grey regrowth… and unfortunately, that also means my hair requires intensive care. My go-to product is this Keratin hair mask deep conditioner, which contains oils for damaged color-treated hair. My locks are always silky and shiny instantly after using this product.
A Natural Glow In The Most Convenient Way
Just when I thought self-tanner couldn't get easier, Jergens goes and does it again. Initially, it was its first-of-its-kind natural glow formula that delivers gradual color without streaks or weird smells. Now, they've created a natural glow version that also moisturizes right in the shower. What?? Oh, hey, and it also firms and reduces the appearance of cellulite, which is reason enough to buy it on its own.
Deep Clean Your Skin with this Economical Blackhead Remover
Amazon.com
The older I get, the less I want to look like I'm getting older. And that all starts with a good skincare routine which is not just all about lotions. So, I am a bit of a sucker for new products that deliver crazy results and this blackhead remover and skin scrubber does exactly that. It deeply cleans the skin through high-frequency vibration, stimulates collagen regeneration, and eliminates whiteheads and blackheads.
This Multi-Stick Does It All
Amazon.com
No lie, I bought one of these (Bourdeaux glow if you're nosy) and promptly decided I need them all. HAN Skin Care Cosmetics has created an essential makeup bag item here with its all-natural multi-stick. This stick is small enough to fit in your pocket and can deliver a gorgeous swipe of color for eyes, lips, and cheeks. Excuse me while I go add cherry cosmos and toasted nutmeg to my cart.
This Exfoliating Face Mask Uses the Natural Power of Turmeric & Vitamin C
Given that it's chock full of turmeric and vitamin C, I guess it's no surprise that this face scrub is bright orange. It's also got pumpkin, ginger, glycolic acid, and aloe vera in it. I love that it's made with natural ingredients, and I love how fresh and clean it makes my face feel! Treat yo' self.
This Liquid Eyeliner Is So Easy to Apply
With over 1,400 rave reviews, this Rimmel Exaggerate liquid eyeliner is a clear winner for being easy to apply and super long-lasting. Ecstatic reviewers call this the "holy grail" of liners that lasted on one person for 11 hours with no smudging or transferring. And it's under $6, proving you don't need to spend top dollar for a high-quality product.
Fight the Signs of Aging With This Retinol Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid
Retinol is the only ingredient worth investing in to fight ageing. Most anti-aging moisturizers are so incredibly pricey so I was glad to find this Tree of Life moisturizer with retinol and hyaluronic acid for only $13.95. It works great and has natural ingredients you can feel good about putting on your skin. Buyers rate it 4.5 stars.
This Bliss Jelly Glow Face Peel Exfoliates Gently Using Fruit Enzymes
Amazon.com
I have really sensitive skin that gets a rash if you so much as look at it wrong. But I do like to exfoliate a couple times a week to deep cleanse my skin. I use this non-abrasive Bliss jelly glow peel that has fruit enzymes to gently remove dead skin and unclog pores. It also contains niacinamide, which is key for sealing in moisture so you won't get dried out like with harsher exfoliators.

This Ouai Body Cream Will Transfer Your Legs from Dry to Supple
I'm absolutely head-over-heels for this body creme, and not just because the light notes of rose and citrus are oh-so soothing. I like to use it two or three times a week to help keep my legs from drying out — and if I'm being honest? You can really tell the difference between this stuff and cheaper lotions. It absorbs quickly, but the nourishing squalane instantly leaves my skin feeling supple — not just sorta wet.

This Beauty Blender is Great Quality but Won't Break the Bank
There's nothing particularly earth-shattering about this beauty sponge blender unless, of course, you're tired of paying $20 for its name-brand competitor, which looks and performs identically. I particularly enjoy the black color of this one, which will keep it from looking dirty while serving as a one-stop applicator tool for powder, cream, and liquid makeup. The best part? It'll only set you back four bucks and some change.
This Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Bar Will Keep Your Face and Body Acne at Bay
Yes, there are eleventy billion acne cleaning products on the market today, so what's wrong with eleventy billion and one?

It uses the power of Hawaiian lehua honey and lemon to work its magic.
This Vitamin C Serum Helps Fade Dark Spots and Gives a Youthful Appearance
As far as bottles of vitamin C go, this one is my absolute favorite. Why? First of all, vitamin C can help fade dark spots that pop up on your face — but only if it's potent enough.
