As a beauty editor, I have tested hundreds of products that perform to a T. However, this bunch goes far beyond their makeup category and have built-in functions, making our day-to-day lives just a little bit easier (and at times, even healthier).
Lush Eyes Right Mascara
Not only is this mascara ($18.95, LUSHusa.com) great for sensitive eyes, but it contains vitamins and minerals to nourish the lashes for the long-term. Kind of like your very own eyelash primer packed in.
Brighten Eyes With Royal Blue Liner
I love lipstick, but after a few hours, I usually end up with chapped, peeling lips. But Sephora’s cream lipsticks ($12, Sephora.com) has moisturizing oils and Vitamin E, eliminating the need to start with a moisturizing balm.
Create The Perfect Red Lip With This Palette
The last thing on my mind this time of year is SPF. But the rays are still strong out there. This powder ($40, Gloprofessional.com) provides broad-spectrum protection (from both UVA and UVB rays), while, of course, eliminating unwanted shine.
Try on Makeup in the Makeover Studio!
I’m usually not a big fan of bronzers in the colder months because most have a powdery texture that dries out already parched skin. However, Cargo’s bronzer ($30, Cargocosmetics.com) is such a find — it hydrates for a quick boost of moisture. Also included: Vitamin E that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Many Uses Of Bronzer
Elle’s latest beauty addition has me seriously excited. With such a subtle shimmer, this primer ($30, Kohls.com) is perfect for days when you don’t want a full face of makeup, just a little highlighting.
What Do Primers Do?
Two mani steps packed into one product! Skip the cuticle oil and acetone remover with these floral-scented pads ($3.95, Makeupcherimoya.com) that remove a full set of nails with one sheet. Did I mention they’re the perfect size to keep in your purse?
