I had to quit buying my beauty supplies at the drug store. The selection is lacking, and I've wound up with some disappointing choices — like liquid eyeliner that was more comparable to an oil slick. So after hundreds of dollars wasted on purchases I never use, I've finally come to one conclusion: just stick to the best beauty products you can find on Amazon.
Why Amazon? I mean, have you seen their amazing selection? You can find lotions infused with hemp, scrubs formulated with mango, and even fake eyelashes that don't require any glue. That's right — they easily stick onto your face using magnets. I'm not gonna say they changed my life, but hoo-boy do I look great on date nights.

So what are you waiting for? The best beauty products on Amazon aren't going to wait — because those magnetic eyelashes are in here. I think I can even hear them calling your name!

These Fake Eyelashes That Are Easy To Apply
When I first began wearing fake eyelashes, I started out with a set of magnetic ones like these. Why magnetic? For one, dealing with messy glue isn't fun. Two, these lashes are almost too easy to apply — just apply the magnetic eyeliner to your lids, and the magnets on the lashes will effortlessly snap onto it.
A Sweet Almond Oil That's Safe For All Types Of Skin
Derived naturally from real pressed almonds, this oil is incredibly versatile — put it in your hair to add a nourishing dose of hydration, or even rub it on any dry patches of skin. Personally, I rub it all over since I know the lightweight formula won't clog my pores, and it's even unscented so you don't have to worry about using too much.
A Moisturizing Cream That's Unscented
Believe it or not I don't always want to smell like a flower garden, which is why I use this unscented lotion. It was developed with help from dermatologists, and I prefer it to drug store brands because it keeps my skin feeling soft for a whole day — not just a few hours. And since it's non-comedogenic, it won't clog your pores.
Extend The Life Of Your Lashes With This Lash Shampoo
When your eyes are full of shadow, liner, and even glue, you'll be happy you had this lash shampoo on hand. The oil-free formula doesn't make my skin break out, and you can even use it to scrub your lashes clean so that they last longer. Each order even comes with a cleaning brush — what's not to love?
This Vitamin C Serum That Helps Brighten Your Complexion
Not only is vitamin C great for helping brighten your complexion, but this serum also contains hyaluronic acid to help reduce inflammation. Whenever I have puffy under-eyes, I just give them a few dabs — after a few hours my eyes look like I got 10 hours of sleep instead of two.
This Eye Gel That I Like To Use On Acne
Hear me out — since this gel contains hyaluronic acid, it helps reduce inflammation in your face. But that also means it's great for shrinking the appearance of inflamed blemishes after you've popped them. And because the jojoba oil in the formula keeps your skin moist, you won't have to worry about any flaky spots developing like you would with other cleansers.
A Mascara For Your Eyebrows
My eyebrows are kind of light, so I just color them in with this brow mascara instead of paying to get them professionally treated. For less than $7 this little tube adds depth to your brows without making them hard or crusty, and you've got options when it comes to colors — brunette, black, blonde, and more.
This Setting Powder That Prevents Ashy Flashback
We've all seen those photos of celebrities who have random patches of white all over their face — it's because they used a cruddy setting powder. This powder, on the other hand, not only prevents ashy flashback, but it also helps control your skin's oil production to prevent shine.
For reference: As a relatively tan person, buttercup light suits my skin tone.
A Scrub Made With 100% Pure Shea Butter
Do you ever look at your skin and think to yourself "Man, I could use a scrub?" Then grab this one. I like that it's formulated with 100% natural shea butter as well as mango puree — and it just smells good too. It also contains zero parabens, and each tub is made right here in the United States.

I am literally wearing one of these sheet masks (green tea if you're wondering) as I sit here typing this. I keep the whole pack in my fridge, then use them on hot mornings as a refreshing way to cool down while softening my skin. And because each order comes with 16 different varieties (cucumber, pearl, aloe, and more), you'll never get bored of trying them all out.
This Mud Mask That Reaches Deep Into Pores
Whenever my face is still feeling a little greasy after cleansing, I slap on this mud mask. It's made with 100% bentonite clay that absorbs oil without over-drying my skin, and you only need to wear it for about 10 minutes — though I like to go for 20, just to make sure I reap the full benefits.
This Skin Scrubber That Gets The Gunk Outta Your Pores
By producing high-frequency vibrations that shake the gunk in your pores loose, this scrubber complements any skincare routine. I like to use mine once a week — just to make sure my pores are extra-clean. The battery is rechargeable, and there are four modes to choose from depending on how sensitive your skin is.
This Blackhead Mask That Peels Away Impurities
There's just something fun about painting my face with this blackhead mask — maybe it's the free silicone brush I get to use, or maybe it's the feeling of detoxifying charcoal reach deep into my pores. Each order also comes with a set of blackhead removal tools, and the mask itself is safe for all types of skin.
A Hot Air Brush That Adds Volume To Limp Roots
Whenever my roots are looking a little flat, I use this hot air brush to add some volume. Just curl your roots into the barrel, then wait a few seconds as hot air flows through your strands.

The back of my head is shaved because my hair is just too thick to deal with. When quarantine hit, these clippers were my first purchase.

Each blade guide is also marked with numbers, so if you know that you usually get a two or a three, you can easily choose the same here.

Just put a small amount of this texturizing taffy in your palms, rub them together, then run them through your hair — it'll help create separation and texture without weighing your strands down. You can use it on wet or dry hair (though I prefer using it wet), and many reviewers with fine hair wrote about how it "works great."
These Makeup Remover Pads That Are Reusable
If you aren't wiping off your foundation before bed, trust me — you need to start doing it. These makeup remover pads are not only reusable, but they're also made from soft microfiber that latches onto dirt and grime using just water. Or, if you don't wear makeup, you can also use them to apply toner and serums.
I Bleached My Hair And It Turned Out Alright Because Of This Purple Hair Mask
You know how they say you should never bleach your hair at home? They are correct — but if you do it anyway like I did, make sure to have this purple hair mask on hand.

When even the softest brushes are tugging at knots in my hair, I switch over to this detangling brush. It works by separating the strands stuck in knots so that they melt away painlessly, and the ergonomic handle fits comfortably in both hands. One reviewer even raved that "If you have natural hair and have dreaded wash day for too long, get this brush. You will love it."
