If You Think Real Beauty Results Only Happen When You Spend Tons Of Money, These 39 Items Are Here To Prove You Wrong

A Physicians Formula Butter Glow & Go Stick offering a luxuriously creamy, easy-to-apply formula that glides on skin to give you that "just returned from a week-long tropical vacation" glow. The double-ended applicator comes with two colors that can be used as contour, bronzer, blush, eyeshadow, and lip color. So many uses and for so little money, despite being comparable to the $46 Charlotte Tilbury Beach Stick. Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo that works just as well as more expensive competitors to absorb oil and add volume, with the added bonus of keratin to strengthen and protect against humidity. Oh, and the floral scent is definitely a compliment magnet! Amazing they don't charge more for all these benefits... La Roche-Posay Effaclar gel made with adapalene, an over-the-counter retinoid that can help minimize the appearance of pores, attack blackheads and whiteheads, and regulate skin cell turnover. Clear skin is possible, even without a pricey prescription — just check out this review pic! L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a green-tinted formula that combats redness through the power of color theory. It doesn't stop there — it also works to even complexion, hydrate with vitamin E, and set the perfect stage for you to apply your makeup on. Turns out you don't have to drop $50+ on Dr Jart+'s Cicapair Color Correcting Cream! An ultra-affordable E.l.f. color corrector that comes in a ton of shades to help counteract different types of discoloration, like redness and dark spots. Mix and match to create the perfect foundation for the rest of your makeup routine. A lightweight gel cream from Nivea with powerful Q10 that helps plump, firm, and moisturize skin in as little as two weeks with consistent use. One reviewer found success with this when expensive neck creams from department stores and Sephora fell flat. Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush offering some light coverage (and extra sun protection on top of your normal sunscreen) that won't weigh you down on hot days. Most intriguing: Reviewers are using this on their scalp and hairline because YES scalp burns can happen and NO we're not putting goopy sunscreen in our hair. It's also wayyy cheaper than the $69 Colorescience version. Jergens Natural Glow tanning lotion — a classic because it gives you a gradual, just-got-back-from-vacation glow after just a few uses. It's easier to use than more expensive brands that risk getting streaky *and* it's formulated with elastin to help your skin feel firmer. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say works as a very good, affordable replacement for Clinique's "Black Honey," the $25 "universal shade" that has a Shakira-level of fame and adoration. This $7 alternative is nonsticky, moisturizes with vitamin E, and melts onto your lips like buttah. A Revlon volcanic face roller way easier to use than those disposable blotting pads. You just roll the volcanic stone over any oily or greasy areas on your face and then pop it in your bag for later. A portable spa treatment if you think about it. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to pamper your décolletage with some special skincare attention. The glycerin and aloe hydrate while the salicylic acid gently exfoliates, leaving firmer, softer skin. After seeing these impressive results, I have to thank Gold Bond for not charging double. An SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar that works like a giant lip balm for your face. It's nonsticky, glides on clear, works nicely as a primer, and is so easy to apply (check out the curved shape), you may actually remember to reapply for once. Plus, it's cheaper than the Supergoop version. A Wet n Wild lipstick formulated with vitamins A and E and macadamia for silky smooth color. Reviewers are shocked at the quality considering the price: a single dollar. Nothing at the dollar store even costs that little! Some reviewers have even compared it to MAC. 👀 L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal — a new dark spot correcting rinse-off treatment that aims to be like a professional peel in a bottle. The blue gel uses 25% AHA, BHA, and PHA to chemically exfoliate and help reveal brighter, smoother skin. Expect compliments with words like glowing, radiant, and wellness influencer. A Curél moisture spray when you want to boost your routine with a hit of ceramides — a key ingredient for helping your skin's moisture barrier. Spritz it on your face, body, or over makeup for a hydrating refresh. Despite the chichi packaging, you're more likely to find this affordable gem at your local drugstore than at a department store. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water, which has a place in an astounding amount of medicine cabinets (56,000+ positive ratings on Amazon!) because it gently (but effectively!) removes dirt, excess oil, and even waterproof makeup without drying out your skin and hurting your budget. You don't even need to rinse with water — just apply and wipe off. A Vanicream cleanser for when you just want something super gentle, simple, and effective. It costs less than $10 and, without any fanfare, cleanses and removes makeup. It's a great option for sensitive skin — no drying or irritation here. I have since sworn off fancy cleansers because this does the job better than anything else! A beloved Maybelline "Fit Me" matte foundation that has over 40 shades so you're sure to find the perfect match. This oil-free, breathable, lightweight formula gives you buildable coverage and a fancy matte finish you normally don't get outside of Sephora. Or TirTir cushion foundation promising up to 72 hours of buildable coverage to help hide redness, blemishes, dark circles, and other unwanted discoloration. The oval-shaped puff makes it easy to get this heavenly product in every nook and cranny for a seamless satin finish. As a bonus, it's made with red propolis extracts that have antimicrobial properties. Reviewers are saying this a great swap for Dior! Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream for curls so bouncy you'll be jumping for joy (and to show them off). The argan oil-boosted formula moisturizes and tames frizz while adding a level of volume and shine you'd normally expect from a much higher price point. Or Lottabody Wrap Me Curl Mousse, a whipped-cream-like delight that defines curls, moisturizes with shea and coconut oil, and tackles frizz all for UNDER $5. The foam makes it super easy to distribute throughout your hair, and the heavenly scent will make you feel like you're on a tropical vacation. Bio-Oil made with vitamin E, chamomile, and lavender oil to moisturize your face and body, and help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, dark spots, and more. One reviewer loves using it in place of a pricey serum! L.A. Colors metallic nail polish that somehow costs less than $2, yet still provides a striking shine you normally have to pay 5–10 times the amount to achieve. At that price point, I'm shocked it works at all, let alone WELL! Peach Slices nose pore patches offering an overnight solution for stubborn open pimples. Just wash your face, exfoliate, and pop one on before bed. The hydrocolloid bandage will soak up gunk from your pores without drying your skin. Normally, you'd have to book a facial for these kinds of results! A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — oh and makes your eyelashes look like tall, beautiful skyscrapers. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful. Or E.l.f Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. Priceless! An Elizavecca collagen coating hair protein treatment that takes your dry, tired hair and turns it into the silky-soft locks you've always wanted. Just apply it to wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, rinse, and wonder why other, pricier hair treatments (like Olaplex!) don't work this well. A tube of Roc retinol night cream possibly imbued with time traveler magic, because it will feel like you're turning back the hands of time when you go to sleep each night. OK, maybe it won't be that dramatic, but the shea butter and squalane will hydrate, and the retinol will work hard to smooth and possibly reverse some signs of aging. This reviewer says it's a great alternative to prescription retinol. L'Oreal Lumi Glotion that's a lotion, glowy foundation base, and highlighter all in one bottle. Over 30,000 5-star happy customers love how effective this vacation-in-a-bottle is, despite the low price. Some reviewers even compare it to the pricey Drunk Elephant Sunshine Drops! A high shine lip gloss from L.A. Colors providing a splashy shine so bright, you might blind people with your smile. The luxurious, vanilla-scented color has shea butter for moisture, isn't sticky, and costs less than a cup of coffee (even a cheap one from the corner store)! Nyx's Pore Filler Targeted Stick that's basically Photoshop's blurring tool, but IRL. Apply it like a giant tube of face lip balm to help smooth and reduce the appearance of pores. It's under $8, which is certainly less than an Adobe subscription. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a TikTok-hall-of-famer that almost 80,000 5-star reviews confirm is worth the hype. The biotin-infused serum can help strengthen hair and encourage new growth, leaving hair feeling healthier and fuller. Reviewers say it's helped with everything from receding hairlines to sparse eyebrows — who knew something so effective was just sitting on a drugstore shelf this whole time? An E.l.f. hydrating grip primer that reviewers say is a comparable swap for Milk's Hydro Grip primer. The cooling gel uses hyaluronic acid to help hydrate and smooth your face and clings to makeup so you can enjoy full coverage all day long. L'Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer who has been clearly cheating off Charlotte Tilbury's test paper. Like the Magic Cream, this cheaper alternative absorbs quickly and seals in moisture for smoother, plumper skin. A Nyx liquid eyeliner, with a precision tip and long-lasting, ultra-pigmented color, capable of serving just as dramatic looks as Kat Von D or Stila, at less than HALF the price. L'Oréal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water bringing you silkier hair in just eight seconds. On top of a wave of hydration, it also adds shine and decreases frizz and static. Reviewers note it's a close match to a certain Redken product, but for way cheaper. "Glow Up!" Vitamin C Face Serum powerful enough to help reduce dark spots, brighten skin, and give you an overall glowy makeover. Despite having superstar ingredients like 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid for radiance and hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E for supreme hydration, this miracle formula costs less than $10. STEP AWAY from the C-Firma. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes just as well as the $33 Becca version. The lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed to blend seamlessly — check the drastic difference in the review photo! An under-$10 Mielle rosemary mint strengthening edge gel you can count on to keep your hairstyle in place *without* flakiness. The formula is enriched with biotin, coconut oil, and babassu oil to help prevent breakage, hydrate, and add shine.

Tired Boots shoppers 'can't be without' £32 eye serum for 'saggy' lids slashed to £10

The L'Oréal Paris 2.5% Hyaluronic Acid and Caffeine Revitalift Filler Eye Serum has been reduced by 68% in the Boots £10 Tuesday sale, but shoppers need to be quick Boots £10 Tuesday is back, and just in time for payday, no less. This week, some of the deals are so good they've sold out before we even had a chance to write about them. But, there is one product that shoppers have been raving about that's seen a major price cut from £31.99 to £10, saving more than £20 on the RRP. Until 23.59pm tonight, shoppers can pick up the L'Oréal Paris 2.5% Hyaluronic Acid and Caffeine Revitalift Filler Eye Serum at 68% off, making it cheaper than Amazon where it's £15.60. The eye area is typically the first place to show signs of ageing and fatigue as the skin is ten times thinner and more sensitive. That means that stress, screen time, lack of sleep and pollution often take its toll, leading to dark circles and fine lines. The Revitalift Filler Eye serum has been specifically formulated for the unique eye area and is proven to visibly brighten dark circles and replump eye lines for younger looking eyes. Dermatologist approved, the fragrance-free formula is 'effective on all skin tones', and contains a mix of well-known skin-loving ingredients for effective results. The serum features both macro hyaluronic acid and a higher concentration of micro hyaluronic acid which penetrate deeper into the skin for maximum hydration, while caffeine and 4 per cent niacinamide target dark circles for a brighter complexion. The serum also stars a cooling triple bead applicator for gentle under-eye and eyelid massage, targeting puffiness and rejuvenating weary eyes. According to L'Oreal, it's suitable for use before bedtime or in the morning, claiming it 'quickly absorbs' and 'layers perfectly under makeup'. The affordable serum has been lauded by beauty enthusiasts for giving 'plumper' skin in just a few days. Elsewhere, the Charlotte Tilbury Cryo-Recovery Eye Serum contains IceAwake complex and caffeine, with a skin-cooling applicator tip for eyes that appear depuffed and smoothed. However, it is on the pricier side, coming in at £47. For a more affordable option, there's The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG 30ml for £8.40. This light-textured formula contains an extremely high 5% concentration of caffeine, supplemented with EGCG which can help reduce looks of puffiness and of dark circles in the eye contour. Beauty fans are so impressed with the product, they say they 'can't live without' it. One five-star reviewer said: "I use this eye serum with the rest on the revitalift range and it completes my routine wonderfully! My eyes certainly thank me for it! The wand makes application super easy and it feels refreshing and soothing when putting it on. After a few uses, the skin around my eyes is plumper, my dark circles have disappeared and I look so much more awake and ready for the day ahead. I can't be without this now!' A second raved: "Oh, I love this eye serum. Using it in the morning and my eyes feel so fresh. I usually have very tired eyes with saggy eye lids and puffy dark circles underneath my eyes, all of this kind of disappears within 30 minutes after using it. I specially like the applicator when I can massage the serum into my eye lids and under my eyes. It feels so refreshing. I highly recommend this. Also using it in the evening, just to refresh my eyes after a long day." But others have found the texture to be a little 'greasy' adding: 'I found this to be a bit to greasy, I think the first Time I used it, I use a bit too much, but even with cutting it down, I still found it greasy and hard to soak in the skin. I persevered with it and have found a slight difference to the wrinkles round my eyes and the puffiness has gone, so it does work.' 'Bought this while it was on offer... really blown away!' wrote a fourth. 'Noticed an immediate tightening around the eye area and after two weeks of using twice a day the lines are visibly reduced around my eyes." Shoppers can pick up the L'Oréal Paris 2.5% Hyaluronic Acid and Caffeine Revitalift Filler Eye Serum for £10 today.

Black lipstick for beginners: How to rock the boldest shade with confidence

Fashion has always been trendy in the market industry. From pale skin tones to rich, dark skin the color is striking. Black has always been the trend in the market- be it from apparels, nail points, shoes and now it's the alluring trend of black lipstick. When it comes to lipstick shades, dark lipsticks give an alluring upgrade. For anyone craving a touch of intrigue, a black lip offers unmatched intensity and sophistication. From edgy gothic aesthetics to simply adding depth and dimension to your everyday makeup, black lipstick provides maximum impact and an instant statement. If you're ready to elevate your glam, discover how to master the black lip for a show-stopping, glamorous look. The bold look starts with the preparation and here's how it is: Black is the new confidence. Black lipstick can complement any complexion with ease, so check out some quick tips to help you pull off black lipstick for a chic scroll-stopping look. 1. Exfoliate and moisturize, so that your lips become smooth and remain like a hydrated canvas. Use a gentle lip scrub to remove any dead skin and follow with a nourishing balm. Let the balm absorb, then blot off excess for a non-slippery base. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's The Average Price of Gutter Protection For 2,500 Sq Ft House LeafFilter Gutter Protection Get Quote 2. Prime and perfect the base, start by giving your lips a flawless base. Dab on a bit of concealer or foundation before you apply your lipstick—this trick makes the color pop beautifully and helps it last long into the night. 3. Line it up with an outliner, grab a black or clear lip liner and carefully trace the edges of your lips. This step isn't just for precision—it also keeps your lipstick from bleeding or feathering, ensuring that striking shade stays sharp and exactly where you want it. 4. Apply with a lip brush, swap the lipstick bullet for a brush. Using a lip brush gives you ultimate control, so you can build up even, rich color and nail those crisp lines. It's a small change with a big payoff, especially for dark shades like black. 5. Clean edges with concealer, why because, Black lipstick is stunning, but it can be a bit unforgiving. Use a full-coverage, matte concealer to tidy up the edges and carve out a perfectly polished lip contour. Top brands like Maybelline and L'Oréal Paris offer excellent mattes, but go with whatever fits your style and budget. 6. Lock in the look, to set your black lipstick in place, gently pat on some translucent setting powder. This helps keep your lip color intact, prevents smudges, and delivers a flawless, all-day matte effect. Black lipstick isn't just about being bold—it's about embracing who you are. The trick to pulling it off? Let your lips be the star of the show by keeping the rest of your makeup simple: think fresh skin, a soft hint of highlight, and minimal eye makeup. Most importantly, wear it with confidence. It's not just a color, it's an attitude. Experiment at home, figure out what feels right, and give yourself time to get comfortable. The more you wear it, the more it becomes a part of your style. At the end of the day, black lipstick is more than a trend—it's a powerful form of self-expression. So own it, enjoy it, and let your lips do the talking. Black lipstick has now become a statement of style, identity and self- expression because black is the beauty now. Having emerged from subcultural roots to mainstream beauty statements, black lips are ruling the runway. Here's how: Beauties turn goth glam into 2025's signature beauty statement The Schiaparelli Couture Show in Paris 2025 made headlines when nearly every model, under the creative direction of makeup legend Pat McGrath, strode out with glossy, jet-black lips. Christina Aguilera's summerween glam is the buzz now. At the Summerween celebration in London, her icy look with platinum hair, radiant skin, and bold noir lips captured the season's goth-glam mood, proving that classic stars can reinvent themselves with the latest beauty trends, while glowing with black lips and subtle hints of blood-red tone. Zendaya stole the hearts at the Met Gala 2025 with her blackened berry lips, which stood out against her radiant complexion. Channeling vintage noir, Zendaya wore ultra-thin, arched brows, a nod to old Hollywood icons but reinvented for modern glamour. From Zendaya to Rihanna- the fashion bees are humming with blackened tones, provided with sultrier berry looks, highlighting black lipstick as a headline-grabbing, wearable trend for 2025. Their impact has made noir lips a lasting trend, inspiring everyone to embrace confidence, boldness, and modern elegance in their makeup routine.

33 Products With Photographic Evidence They Work

L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a green-tinted formula that combats redness through the power of color theory. It doesn't stop there — it also works to even complexion, hydrate with vitamin E, and sets the perfect stage for you to apply your makeup on. The fairly-priced product offers light to medium coverage and won't feel crusty. Or an ultra-affordable E.l.f. color corrector that comes in a ton of shades to help counteract different types of discoloration, like redness and dark spots. Mix and match to create the perfect foundation for the rest of your makeup routine. A pack of stain-removing pads to obliterate all the unwanted pet-related stains in your home. Lay a pad on an unwanted blemish, stomp, toss the pad, and admire your pee-free carpet. It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet related) and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MCGet a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48. A lightweight gel cream from Nivea with powerful Q10 that helps plump, firm, and moisturize skin in as little as two weeks with consistent use. One reviewer found success with this when expensive neck creams from department stores and Sephora fell flat. Or a Medix retinol body lotion because if retinol works so well for your face, it's gotta do wonders for the rest of your body too. IDK what kind of pixie dust they're putting in this (besides ferulic acid, glycerin, and shea butter), but over 25,000 happy customers recommend this for encouraging skin cell turnover to help tighten and firm skin. A pack of SneakErasers for people who love rocking white sneaks but don't love the upkeep. The dual-sided pads have one side that cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grime and a second side that whitens, restoring sneakers to their "fresh from the store" glory. No need to break down and cry the next time it rains while you're wearing your new shoes! A lawn dog spot repair treatment to make your crispy, brown lawn look like it belongs in front of a house in Emerald City. Reviewers say they noticed results almost immediately — as in *days*! The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which includes a scrubber sponge and the famous all-purpose paste that you can use to clean basically any surface — it works on everything from marble and wood to rubber boots and car steering wheels. Wasting time scrubbing will be a thing of the past. And the future? Sparkly clean items as far as the eye can see. A deep-conditioning hair mask promising smoother, shinier, and stronger hair, even if you're fighting against bleached, dry, or damaged locks. It can even handle Florida levels of humidity! Or Mise En Scene Perfect Hair Serum, a K-beauty favorite that promises intense hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees. With the help of a blend of oils (Moroccan argan, olive, jojoba, coconut, etc.), it can help repair damaged hair and reduce frizz, even in hot, humid weather. It's so effective, reviewers compare it to the $46 Gisou version. A crack weeder tool if your home looks like it's trying out to star in the next season of The Last of Us. The L-shaped head can sneak into tight spaces and tear out the weeds, moss, and stubborn roots that have rudely taken up residence in your sidewalk. A wire-free bra with a corset-like drawstring in the middle so you can adjust how much oomph you wanna give your boobs. You can toggle between a little boost and a Jessica Rabbit-level amount of cleavage throughout the day, which is more than I can say for most bras. A pack of carborundum sponges — YES, the stuff they make bulletproof vest plates out of — because tough jobs require tough solutions. Just dip one of these in water and start scouring — the nano-particles will cut through intense grease, grime, and stuck-on food bits when all other earthly measures to keep your pots clean have failed. Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush offering some light coverage (and extra sun protection on top of your normal sunscreen) that won't weigh you down on hot days. Most intriguing: Reviewers are using this on their scalp and hairline because YES scalp burns can happen and NO we're not putting goopy sunscreen in our hair. It's also wayyy cheaper than the $69 Colorescience version. A Tibet Almond scratch remover stick that you can apply like ChapStick for your furniture. The colorless balm can help hide light scratches, watermarks, and water stains from wood, bamboo, glass, and more. Just open the can, remove the wrapper, and start rubbing the stick on unsightly marks. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray renowned in the parenting community thanks to its uncanny ability to erase stains from most fabrics in record time, all without harsh ingredients like chlorine, sulfates, or perfumes. Just spritz some on spilled juice, melted Popsicles, chocolate (hopefully), and more to watch them go *poof* and disappear. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to pamper your décolletage with some special skincare attention. The glycerin and aloe hydrate while the salicylic acid gently exfoliates, leaving firmer, softer skin. After seeing these impressive results, I have to thank Gold Bond for not charging double. All-in-one decor paint for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition-worthy transformation. The chalk-like paint comes with a built-in primer to help it cling to most surfaces, from upholstery and wood to metal and glass. With over 50 colors to choose from, this paint can help you revitalize every room in the house. Aaand it dries in just 30 minutes! An under-$10 Mielle rosemary mint strengthening edge gel you can count on to keep your hairstyle in place *without* flakiness. The formula is enriched with biotin, coconut oil, and babassu oil to help prevent breakage, hydrate, and add shine. Fruit and veggie wash because just rinsing with water doesn't feel like enough and using actual soap feels like too much. This spray is the middle ground and helps safely remove wax, soil, and handling residue. Promising review: "This stuff is great and I have ordered it several times. In the past, I just rinsed fruit or vegetables, but I was at the grocery store recently and saw a very cute kid touching all the fruit. He also had a runny nose and I just thought, 'better remember to really wash the fruit when I get home.' The great thing about Veggie Wash is you can feel the wax film wash off of certain fruit. It really does a great job of cleaning and doesn't leave any odd smell or taste. As I said, I've bought this before and make sure my kitchen always has a spray bottle nearby." —Me in SoCalGet three spray bottles from Amazon for $25.86. Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream for curls so bouncy you'll be jumping for joy (and to show them off). The argan oil-boosted formula moisturizes and tames frizz while adding a level of volume and shine you'd normally expect from a much higher price point. Or Lottabody Wrap Me Curl Mousse, a whipped-cream-like delight that defines curls, moisturizes with shea and coconut oil, and tackles frizz all for UNDER $5. The foam makes it super easy to distribute throughout your hair, and the heavenly scent will make you feel like you're on a tropical vacation. A Pikk-it tool offering a quick solution to one of life's little miseries: wondering why your vacuum isn't sucking (in a good way) and discovering that the brush is completely cocooned in loose hair. This handy tool will free your roller from its hairy prison so it can proceed up more hair. Sorry, "vacuum doesn't work" isn't an excuse to avoid cleaning anymore! Lumify eye drops you may assume have magical properties because reviewers swear this formula reduces redness in just *one* minute — and then goes the extra mile by keeping eyes brighter for an additional eight hours. No one needs to know about your latest all-nighter... Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes just as well as the $33 Becca version. The lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed to blend seamlessly — check the drastic difference in the review photo! A bottle of Bio-Clean, a hard water stain remover that obviously works, because it looks like they haven't considered their marketing or packaging since the '80s; the results do all the talking! Made with biodegradable ingredients, this solution cuts through stains, rust, and weird spots caused by mineral build-up. Picture this: opaque shower doors, soap-scummy bathtubs, stained tiles, and cloudy-looking pool floors, all suddenly glistening and shining like new. A Burt's Bees sunburn soother crafted with aloe and coconut oil to hydrate skin and turn back time to before you stayed out in the sun a little too long. It's nongreasy and absorbs quickly, so you can go from "AHHH" to ahhhh. An electric power washer so you can harness the power of high-pressure water to totally annihilate caked-on dirt and grime. It comes with five spray tips to tackle all sorts of hardcore cleaning tasks. A roll of scar tape, aka silicone sheets that mimic the skin's barrier, locking in moisture and preventing the excessive healing that could lead to scarring. Bonus: Some reviewers have used the tape as a short-term measure to reduce the appearance of fine lines — it temporarily smoothes the skin by keeping it taut overnight. A roll of 10M wood grain tape perfect for frameless mirrors that could use a little more panache. The waterproof adhesive is easy to apply and does a convincing impression of wood grain. When you're ready for a change, the tape peels off easily. A container of oatmeal paw butter that'll soothe and relieve your dog's cracked, dry paws. Its eco-friendly formula is pH-balanced so it's safe for pets, even if licked or swallowed. *seriously considers licking it myself to see if it really tastes like oatmeal* Promising review: "This stuff smells so good! It smoothed my dog's paw pads the next day. It felt so soft! This is a miracle I love this product and it's a great price! You get a good amount of product. Thank you so much. This has helped my pups so much!" —SamiGet it from Amazon for $14.78. A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to give your furniture an impossibly lustrous shine previously never seen in your home. The carnauba wax and beeswax enhance and protect your wood from drying out, so you can keep your great-grandmother's rocking chair in tip-top shape with just a few swipes. A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — oh and makes your eyelashes look like tall, beautiful skyscrapers. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful.

Beauty: EcoBeautyScore, the environmental rating system, enters the deployment phase

After three years of development, the initiative, supported by a consortium of beauty industry players, is now operational. This rating system is now used by several consumer brands, including L'Oréal Paris, Neutrogena, Nivea and Eucerin, which have begun publishing their product scores in several mainland European markets, as well as in the UK. The project was initiated in 2021 by L'Oréal, LVMH, Henkel and Unilever, and has since been joined by some 40 other players, including Coty, Estée Lauder, Puig, Shiseido, Sisley, Amorepacific, Febea, Cosmetic Valley and Cosmetics Europe. Structured as a non-profit association, the EcoBeautyScore system aims to create a common framework for assessing the environmental footprint of skincare and personal care products. Like Nutriscore in the food sector, it awards a grade from A to E, based on 16 impact indicators (carbon, water, natural resources, pollution, etc.), over the product's entire life cycle. The system is based on the European Union's Environmental Product Footprint (EPF) methodology, and has been validated by Ecocert. Participating brands will undergo regular audits, with certification by an independent third party. "EcoBeautyScore provides the beauty sector with a much-needed transparency tool. For the first time, brands can communicate their environmental impact in a coherent, digestible way, based on scientific data," explains Jean-Baptiste Massignon, Managing Director of the EcoBeautyScore association. Initially, EcoBeautyScore is being deployed in four segments: shampoos, conditioners, shower gels and facial care products. Interested brands can access a trial version of the system free of charge, as well as resources to help them implement it. The consortium plans a gradual extension to other product categories, with an international opening in the coming months.
