Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil
How do you know a brand's got major indie cred? Maybe when it has the dang word in its name. If you've got skin that's drier than the text of an IKEA desk instruction pamphlet, slather on this Indie Lee Squalane Facial Oil [2] ($32). The ingredient replenishes your body's natural oil [3], so you'll go from dehydrated to dewy in no time.
Me Factory Pig Collagen 3 Step Nose Pack
This K-beauty pore strip may not be Kosher — as its name implies, Pig Collagen 3 Step Nose Pack [4] ($12) is made from actual piggy collagen — but it does wonders to decimate the dreaded schnoz blackhead. Pop one on while you shower — the excess steam will help extract those suckers.
Henné Organics Lip Tint
Fact: chubby sticks make everything better. This Henné Organics Lip Tint [5] ($21) gives off a soft, pinot-tinted flush — minus the hangover and telltale dark teeth stains that come with drinking actual wine.
Kypris Beauty Antioxidant Dew
It's almost exhausting listing off all the ways that Kypris Beauty Antioxidant Dew [6] ($72) will bless your face. If you've got dry skin, it pumps in water and vitamins C and E. If your complexion is more troubled, it delivers natural, botanic anti-inflammatory to make your zits chill. Got hyperpigmentation? Tamanu extract will lighten it. We get it, Kypris, you're great.
Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm
Removing your perfectly applied cat-eye can be an emotional ordeal, but this Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm [7] ($110) makes it a little more luxurious. The balm warms up to the touch, so you'll feel like you're getting a full facial, rather than standing over a dirty sink at 1 a.m.
Lalicious Extraordinary Whipped Sugar Scrub
Before you say, "I'm not a scrub person, but thanks," hear us out. This Lalicious Extraordinary Whipped Sugar Scrub [8] ($35) is super fine and nonirritating, so the wash feels much more gentle than other options. One extra bonus: this turns skin so fluffy-soft, you won't need to apply moisturiser.
B4 Blonde Extended Cork Round Brush
If you're living that double processed life [9], your Insta game considerably ups itself, while your hair health might go down a bit. That's why you should stash a B4 Blonde Extended Cork Round Brush [10] ($49). Its bristles are made for fine, sensitive, or heat-damaged hair, and the round shape makes it easy to mimic big blowout waves.
Youth to the People Age Prevention Superfood Mini Duo
Travelling is fun and all — until you miss your un-TSA-approved skincare products so much that you want to text them "U up" at four in the morning. Resist the urge with this impressive Youth to the People Age Prevention Superfood Mini Duo [11] ($20), which both detoxifies and hydrates skin. Use it before your red eye lands and no one will ever know a stranger slept on you all night.
Arcona Wine Oil
Who knew "wine face" [12] could ever be a good thing? This Arcona Wine Oil [13] ($58) contains resveratrol from grape skin and also seed oil to even out texture and revive your hungover face.
Starskin 7-Second Morning Mask
Relationship status: "It's complicated, but I still want to stash some skincare products in their medicine cabinet." We've all been there. This 7-Second Morning Mask [14] ($30) takes up precious little real estate, and the all-in-one wipe will cleanse, tone, soothe, and exfoliate.
Malie Organics Botanical Body Gloss
Some people like a subtle glossy lip — and others commit to the dewy theme. This Malie Organics Botanical Body Gloss [15] ($25) gives off a beyond-sexy, all-over subtle shine. Put it on before swimsuit shopping and you'll positively work those LED-illuminated store dressing rooms.
Susanne Kaufmann Witch Hazel Bath
Want to get rid of bacne? (Asking for a friend, of course). Try this Susanne Kaufmann Witch Hazel Bath [16] ($70), which utilizes the popular astringent [17] often found in acne-fighting face toners.
Yuni Shower Sheets Large Body Wipes
When you ask "What's that smell?" and the answer is you, dear reader, freshen up on-the-go with one of these green tea, citrus, and peppermint-infused Yuni Shower Sheets Large Body Wipes [18] ($15)
Moon Juice Sex Dust Jar
We all need a little help sometimes, and this Moon Juice Sex Dust Jar [19] ($38) contains Himalayan resin to perk you up and Ayurvedic aphrodisiacs to turn you on. Pop the powder into a smoothie, coffee, milk, water, or even ice cream and thank us later.
Ranavat Flawless Veil Illuminating Masque
There's an old wives tale [20] that superior skincare has to smell like . . . not something you want to smear all over your face. The opposite is true for the Flawless Veil Illuminating Masque [21] ($65), which hides hyperpigmentation while smelling like sweet sandalwood and fresh saffron.
AG Hair Rosehip Balm Hair Dry Lotion
A few years ago, it was reported that Kate Middleton loves to treat her dry skin with rosehip oil [22] — and now we all do, too. This AG Hair Rosehip Balm Hair Dry Lotion [23] ($28) takes the trend one step further by fighting frizz when you don't heat style.
Nurse Jamie Beauty Bear Age Delay Pillow
Side-sleepers of the world, unite: this Nurse Jamie Beauty Bear Age Delay Pillow [24] ($69) cradles your cheeks so you don't agitate your skin and ultimately cause avoidable fine lines.
Red Earth Brightening Scrub with Kakadu Plum
Sure, we'd love to attend a $650 exfoliating penis facial every week [25], but no matter what we tell ourselves in the mirror to hype up every morning, we are actually not Cate Blanchett [26]. Instead, use this gentle Red Earth Brightening Scrub with Kakadu Plum [27] ($28) every week. As you scrub, you'll feel it pull the gunk out of your pores.
Farmaesthetics Lip Softener
This herbal Farmaesthetics Lip Softener [28] ($12) is made with clean ingredients such as almond oil, calunda, peppermint, and beeswax. Plus it tastes like grapefruit, so, score.
Well Told Health Energy Booster Dietary Supplement
This Well Told Health Energy Booster Dietary Supplement [29] ($35) is responsible for getting one perennially late POPSUGAR beauty editor out of bed for a very important 5 a.m. flight, so it will work to reverse that 2 p.m. Thursday slump, too.
Ursa Major No B.S. Deodorant
You should have high standards for your deo: it shouldn't leave white marks, smell too fake or overly fruity, and we always love a good nontoxic option [30]. This Ursa Major No B.S. Deodorant [31] ($18) is aluminium free, unscented, and — oh yeah — it really, really works to keep pit stains at bay.
Huxley Secret of Sahara Grab Water Essence Serum
K-beauty essences are a bonafide skin-saver, but you might balk (or stress breakout) at the price tag. Luckily, this Secret of Sahara Grab Water Essence Serum [32] ($58) is a more affordable option. Ignore the desert-themed name — this stuff hydrates and plumps so well, you'll think you're looking at a mirage when you get a gander at how flush and healthy it makes your face.
