Speaking as someone who always used to wake up with puffy eyes, using an eye cream like this one has truly done wonders for me.

Look, I, too, was skeptical when it came to this hot air brush — but then I tried it. And man, oh man, are my roots lifted.

You also have the choice of four colors: black, green, purple, or pink.
A Moisturizer That's Loaded With Retinol

The retinol and vitamin A in this moisturizer are great for brightening dull, tired skin — and they can even help prevent future wrinkles. It also absorbs quickly, ensuring that you aren't stuck walking around with a wet face. Plus, reviewers loved how it "goes on smoothly."
This Hood Hairdryer That's Great For Curly Hair

Upgrade Your Eyeliner With This Gel Version

I recently switched over to using this gel eyeliner from L'Oreal, so I can personally confirm that it is way better than any eyeliner pen, crayon, or what-have-you.

"I didn't have to untangle hair or pull to get these rods out."

Via Amazon
You don't have to pay for an expensive laser procedure to get rid of dark spots — just give this serum a try.

Real talk? Putting on fake eyelashes is a total pain — but these magnetic ones are genuinely easier. Just draw on your lid using the included magnetic liner, then get the fake lash close to your lid.

These Beauty Blenders For Flawless, Even Application
If you've been putting on your foundation with your fingers or brushes, STOP! Get one of these blenders damp with a little water, then use it to dab foundation into your skin instead.

A Primer That Helps Makeup Glide Onto Skin

When I can tell that my skin will be oily later in the day, I'll use a few dabs of this primer before putting on my makeup.

Charcoal is a gentle, natural way to absorb oil from the skin, and this mask is absolutely loaded with it.
