Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer preps skin to allow makeup to stay on for longer. Plus, it can be used without any makeup; its ingredients of blue agave extract and aloe water will keep skin extremely hydrated.

R+Co Waterfall Moisture and Shine Lotion may leave your hair feeling softer, looking glossier, and even make your hair way, way easier to handle. You should *not* be wasting precious morning time dealing with your hair, ya know?

First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub I have personally found clears away the pesky bumps caused by Keratosis Pilaris. Made with both chemical and physical exfoliators, it packs a punch with every use and leaves skin super duper smooth.

Hear me out: I have tried SO many pimple patches, and these are the ones I find myself going back to time and time again because they truly work. Just throw it on, and let it's work its magic while you sleep. Without fail, every time I use this, it visibly shrinks any zit I have overnight.

Promising review: "I never write Amazon reviews. I order way too much from Amazon so I never take the time to write anything. These however are awesome! They work exactly as they say they do and can make a HUGE difference in the size/inflammation overnight. I’m so glad I bought these and they will definitely be something I keep stocked. Wish I would’ve had these a long time ago... they make such a difference in how quickly the acne goes down." —AG

Price: $11.97 for 36 patches

Promising review: "I am SO HAPPY I tried this. I have been so frustrated the past year or so with relentlessly dry lips. Nothing else works for me, I have tried tons of lip balms, lip masks, lip scrubs, and no matter what my lips are always so dry. I decided to try this despite it being kind of expensive for me, and 100% is worth it. Noticed a huge difference within two days, my lips are well moisturized and smooth for the first time in ages. I just use this as my go to lip moisturizer now, day or night. The vanilla smells like a cupcake it's amazing, not too sweet as to be sickening. I absolutely recommend this and it's one of my staples going forward." —Kate

Price: $24+ (available in six flavors)

Promising Review: "This product is so amazing. I have been using it for a month now and I see such a HUGE difference in the fine lines around my eyes." —Kindle Customer

Price: $43+ (available in three sizes)

Truthfully, I've struggled with KP for such a long time, and this product literally the only thing that has ever worked for me. I use it once weekly and have already seen such a big difference in the bumps on my arms. I apply just a pea-sized amount in the shower, rinse it off, and follow it with a lather of a thick moisturizer when I come out.

Promising review: "I had really bad KP and bumps all over my arms and body. I use this once or twice a week in the shower and after 2–3 uses I have seen a HUGE difference. My arms are almost clear!!" —Dina A.

Price: $12+ (available in five sizes)

Promising review: "Love the way it makes my face feel. Only been using it for a few weeks and it's made a huge difference." —casey

Price: $60+ (available in five sizes)

Whenever my skin needs a little bit of TLC, I use this exfoliant. It's ultra gentle on my sensitive skin and leaves it feeling smooth like butter when I wash it off. The formula comes out like a powder and only requires a little bit of water to turn it into a slightly foamy, pasty consistency. It's one of my absolute favorites and something I find myself going back to over and over again.

Promising review: "I love this exfoliant. It's a powder that dissolves into a pasty liquid when mixed with a small amount of water. I use it 5x per week and have noticed a huge difference in the appearance and texture of my skin in just a few short weeks. Highly recommend." —Abby Stepchinski

Price: $18+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I took a chance and splurged a bit on this and I am HOOKED. LOVE it. It smells amazing, and a little goes a long way. I use it only on my neck, arms, and chest and have already noticed a difference in the elasticity of my skin. It also really gives my skin a nice glow when I am tan. Totally recommend it, and I will replenish when mine is gone. The jar is huge and will probably last several months. When you spend $10+ on body lotion per month, the $45 for this cream is well worth it." —Ellie6613

Price: $22+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I’m in my late thirties and started having hormonal breakouts quite often in my twenties. I’ve used prescription meds and ointments and still struggled with breakouts. I got these on a prime-day deal. I started using them while I had an active breakout that would not heal and these immediately healed it! I’m shocked! I use one in the morning before makeup and at night after I’ve washed my face. Huge game changer in my skincare routine now! LOVE!!" —Emily

Price: $51.20

Promising review: "I have very fine strands of hair but a lot of it. My hair tangles so easily, especially after it gets wet. I have tried many detanglers/leave-in-conditioners but all of them made my hair oily or didn't detangle my hair. This detangler is AMAZING! It really did work in seconds. I could easily brush through my hair after spraying this on. And it smells absolutely incredible. I will definitely be buying this again!" —Alyssa

Price: $35

Promising review: "I love this product. I’ve been using it for three months so far. I’ve posted before and after pictures. It makes my curls look full, bouncy, shiny, and makes my hair soft. The only thing I wish Olaplex offered was a bigger bottle! This bottle lasts me about a month. Still a great product!" —soleen

Price: $30

Promising review: "It is a little pricey but if you consider how much it is for a spray tan it's worth it. I would suggest taking a shower and shaving and exfoliating prior to applying the self-tanner. Next, apply the self-tanner while standing on a towel or in the shower just in case some drips off. I would apply it in front of a mirror to make sure you don't miss any areas. The product comes out a green/brown tint and is a foamy/liquid consistency which can be off-putting initially. But don't be scared!! It will look amazing. It goes on super easily and evenly. My tan lasted about five days and then started to fade away. I have used this product several times already and absolutely love it!! I will never again get a spray tan." —CFS1985

Price: $44

Promising review: "Honestly, I've tried dry shampoos before and I always thought they were BS. My hair is fine and thin and no dry shampoo ever worked, but this one really does. My hair looks thicker and better now than it did when I washed it three days ago, and it smells nice, too. Expensive, but worth it. We'll see how long the bottle lasts me. That's my only concern now." —Jessalynn46657

Price: $15+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "I never review anything on amazon but THIS. Oh wow. I wear eyeliner to work every day. Two things to know: I work in a kitchen, so even when we have AC it's hot so I sweat a lot. I have hooded eyes, so normally by the end of the night, my eyeliner has smudged into the heavier crease above my eyes. Not cute. But this didn't budge at all! It even lasted through getting my nose pierced right before work and me bawling like a baby." —yeetmeintospace

Price: $24 (available in eight colors)

Promising review: "I'm so glad I bought this stuff! I have tried EVERYTHING for my acne-prone skin and nothing seemed to work. I always had great skin, until I hit my mid-twenties and started getting big painful acne all over and blackheads on my nose and T-zone. This stuff helped so much! I noticed a huge difference within the first couple of weeks. A little bit goes a LONG way and only apply once a day, applying more often than that won't be any more effective. Start using every other day (or a couple times a week if your skin is more sensitive or dry) and work your way up to every day. You have to stay consistent with this stuff for it to really work. I apply it every night after I cleanse and I never use toner before or after applying this product because it irritates my skin. Make sure you moisturize well after using this product and always wear sunscreen while using this product. Im not sure how it would be for someone with sensitive skin, so I would do a small test area first!" —Sarah

Promising review: "I’ve been buying this blush for a couple of years now. I love the natural pink color and its luminous sheen. I think it's the best out there. This shade is really amazing." —O. Vasilisa

Price: $45 (available in six shades)

Promising review: "I have every skin issue you can think of. Rosacea, acne (hormonal, cystic, whiteheads, blackheads), dehydration, excessive oiliness, redness, all of it. I’ve spent probably thousands on a multitude of different products, trying to find one that would at least make a dent. I’ve had many procedures, many trips to the dermatologist. Nothing I’ve ever used, nothing I’ve ever done, has made such a profound difference in the appearance of my skin. Having rosacea, my face often felt hot, bumpy, and burned. While my complexion is naturally fair and pink, this has seriously covered all my bases in a gentle and effective way. I’ve been trying to turn my skin around for YEARS! This was the product that did it. If I could give it 100 stars, I would. It has seriously changed my life!" —hc

Price: $13+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "Love this stuff! I cannot go a day without it now that my friend shared this product with me, I have in turn given recommendations to many other of my friends and they too love it and thank me! This stuff is beyond amazing for your hair! My hair feels like satin and smells oh so good. Even my 7-year-old begs for me to use this in her hair! For new users, a little tip, put more into your hair (quarter-sized amount) when wet or damp (I flip my head upside down and go from tips to closer to the crown of my head but never to the root), blow-dry, and then I always flat iron or curl my hair. Then add another dime-sized amount into my hair and gently pat from tips to the crown. Make sure to always rub it into your hands first and gently try to work it through your hair, you don't want a big gob of this in one spot!" —Jillian

Price: $6+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "Pomade is not gooey or dry. Good consistency. Use light-handed with a brow brush for a natural day look or apply heavier for a night look. Product stays on all day. Does not smear. You will not need to use a lot for the look you desire. Very satisfied with this product as I find it lasts longer on my brows than the powders." —Zena

Price: $21 (available in 11 shades)

Promising review: "At work as an assistant branch manager for a distribution company of construction materials. A lot of my time I’m around roofing materials. Sometimes it's hotter than hell or freezing cold and this stuff holds up! I also wear a lot of scarves, sweaters, and layers and don't want makeup residue on the full face that I put on every day to get on my clothes. As long as I follow the directions, it works. And this two-pack is like a steal!" —Maria

Price: $16+ (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I’m writing this review around a year after my purchase. I don't wear a lot of makeup often, but when I do I always use this! I love it! Feels light, fresh, lasting effects on the face and the products actually lasts awhile too!" —Kathryn

Price: $13+ (available in two sizes and five shades)

Promising review: "I've tried so many mascaras, & this is just superior. Excellent thin brush that captures every lash. Formula that coats beautifully without clumping. And absolutely no smudging after a 10 hour day! A little pricier,but worth every penny!" —Torch Singer

Price: $30.85

Promising review: "I have purchased four of these over the years and I cannot go back to a regular pillowcase. They are so soft and not scratchy or hot. I have tried other brands and always ended up taking them off because they felt sticky and blah. I recommend washing with delicates to extend the life of the pillowcase because it is very delicate. But Slip knows what they are doing and they’re even better now that they come with a zipper! I strongly recommend this pillowcase. ❤️" —Mikayla

Price: $89 (available in two sizes and 19 colors and patterns)

Promising review: "I have been using a couple of other top-rated products and have tried others. This is by far the BEST. I have dry skin so a makeup artist recommended it. My face looks more hydrated and this really helps keep my makeup in place. Additionally, I like this type of dispenser. No product goes unused. This is my third bottle so clearly I’m sold!!" —LDB

Price: $19.99+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "This is the best makeup! Love the versatility and use this as blush eyeshadow and lipstick! It is weightless too." —R

Price: $36 (available in 10 shades)
