Holiday Gratitude: 5 Beauty Items That We Couldn’t Live Without
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to take minute to reflect on the things we are thankful for, both big and small. That includes our favorite beauty products — those items that we feel we just can’t live with out. Following are five of our favorites, to all of which we say: “Thank goodness you exist!”
1. Moisturizers
Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Moisturizer, $65
Without potent hydrating creams, we’d constantly be at the mercy of premature wrinkles and uncomfortable dry skin. Juice’s moisturizer contains a wonderful mix of antioxidant-rich ingredients and plant oils to keep skin supple and smooth.
2. BB Creams
Stila Stay All Day 10-in-1 Beauty Balm, $38
Where would we be without these miracle balms that combine solid coverage with skin-saving benefits? Stila’s BB cream gets your face photo ready by minimizing pores, reducing shine and hiding fine lines and wrinkles.
3. Bronzer
Clinique True Bronze Pressed Powder Bronzer, $26
If your skin color falls on the pale and pasty side, a bronzer is key for adding an instant, natural-looking glow. Clinque’s oil-free pressed powder adds a beautiful flush to your face without clogging pores and inviting breakouts.
4. Killer Red Lips
Lovemarc Lip Gel in Neo Noir, $30
Nothing amps up a look as easily — and instantly — as a pair of sexy red lips. We love Marc Jacobs’ Lovemarc Lip Gel because the color is beautifully pigmented, lasts for hours, and won’t dry out your pout.
5. Deep Conditioners
Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask, $26
There are very few people in this world who have been able to avoid dealing with dull, damaged hair. Thankfully, it’s an easy issue to fix with a good deep conditioner, like this one from Briogeo. It’s packed with B vitamins, rosehip and argan oils, collagen and silk to restore moisture, rebuild strands and smooth out flyaways.
