The Ourself HA+ Replenishing Serum is like a tall glass of water for parched, dehydrated skin. As its name suggests, this hydrating serum’s star ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which binds water onto the surface layer of skin for a smoother, plumper effect.
High shine and full-color payoff? Sign us up. Plus, once the glossy lacquer of Armani Beauty’s Ecstasy Mirror Lip Gloss wears off, it leaves behind a stunning stain that’ll last all night.
If reapplying is your arch nemesis, add Yves Saint Laurent Tatouage Couture Velvet Cream Lipstick to your going-out clutch stat. This pigmented lip stain has a staying power made more impressive by the texture of the formula itself: matte and full coverage but still creamy, meaning it doesn’t dry out or flake halfway through the day — it’s why it won an Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2020.
This Nordstrom-exclusive Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real Eyeliner & Mascara Set comes stacked with two full-size They’re Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara, a jet black formula that fans out lashes for mega volume. A full-size They’re Real! Xtreme Precision Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner is the cherry on top, with a tapered brush for impressively angled cat eyes and a budge-proof finish that will last through sweat and tears.
Give cakey formulas a break with Armani Beauty Neo Nude Natural Glow Foundation, the very definition of “my skin but better,” thanks to a dewy formula that relies on hyaluronic acid and glycerin to keep complexions supple and hydrated. Coverage is buildable, concealing redness and discoloration with the first layer.
Champagne is both for celebratory popping and deep conditioning your hair, as evidenced by the champagne extract in Cuvee Beauty’s Premiere Treatment Masque. Along with a slew of other fancy five-star ingredients, like ceramides, resveratrol, truffle extracts, platinum extracts, and pea proteins, this creamy treatment can be used as a pre-conditioner or post-shampoo rinse-off that promotes shine and strength.
The giftable Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Care Kit contains a full-size Brow Wiz Brow Pencil and mini Brow Genius Brow Serum; the former makes it foolproof to add precise definition while the latter uses red clover extract, Korean red ginseng, and panthenol to encourage growth. If you over-plucked in 2007 and are still paying the price, consider this duo a must.
