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. The fairly-priced product offers light to medium coverage and won't feel crusty. Brazilian Bum Bum body cream loved by Zoomers (and 40,000+ 5-star raters) for its incredible smell and powerful hydration powers. The formula uses caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to firm and moisturize skin, leaving it glowing and smelling like the very essence of summer. A dermatologist-recommended tinted sunscreen with SPF 41 so you can take on the day without fear of burning your delicate face to a crisp (so long as you reapply!). It's fragrance free, lightweight, perfect for people with sensitive skin, and boasts 11,400+ 5-star ratings. Or a bottle of Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, a classic option with almost 14,000 5-star ratings thanks to its uncannily sheer appearance. This sweat-resistant formula has SPF 40 and glides onto your skin like a gel. It's super lightweight *and* can be used as a makeup primer. A nail and cuticle oil to bring life back to your damaged nails, even if you did something really bad like — gasp! — peel off a gel manicure. This formula will get your nails back in tip-top shape and ready for that seashell nail art you had in mind. 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 (nice try, summer humidity!) 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. 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. 44,000 customers have given this budget-friendly find a thumbs up! A hair-lightening spray to brighten up hair by TWO shades or more! Spritz a little of this citrus and chamomile spray onto damp hair, then activate it with heat-styling tools. I recommend blow drying and hitting it with a curling iron or straightener for the best results. Over 7,000 5-star raters love it because it's less harsh than bleach and even works on dark hair. A wildly popular Wet n Wild lipstick that, against all odds, will only cost you a single dollar. You can't even find something that affordable in an actual dollar store anymore! Despite the unreal price, the results are very real: 42,000 happy customers love the long-lasting color, hydration from aloe, and extensive color selection with plenty of summer-ready shades. A Kerasal fungal nail renewal formula to revitalize your tootsies by helping thicken nails and reduce discoloration. Feel free to plan to wear open-toed shoes next week — reviewers started noticing a visible difference within days, and 48,000+ customers are happy with the results. A pomade hair wax stick for flattening those annoying flyaway hairs on the back of your neck or around your hairline. Just slide the formula over targeted areas to control cowlicks, baby hair, frizz, and other wayward strands. Outdoor dining, boat excursions, boardwalk strolls, and other windy events are suddenly less of a headache: Just ask the 4,300+ 5-star reviewers who swear by this stuff.

Quick, someone hand me a tank top — it's time to show these pits off! A Revlon volcanic face roller way easier to use than those disposable blotting pads. You just roll the volcanic stone over any oily or sweaty areas on your face and then pop it in your bag for later. It doesn't even mess with your makeup! Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to pamper your décolletage with some special summer skincare attention. The glycerin and aloe hydrate, while the salicylic acid gently exfoliates, leaving firmer, softer skin. An Elizavecca collagen coating hair protein treatment that takes your dry, summer-frizzed 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 all hair treatments don't work this well. 38,000+ 5-star ratings mean a lot of people are wondering the same thing!

It can even handle Florida levels of humidity! A waterproof Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that 51,500+ reviewers confirm is lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — even if someone pushes you in the pool. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful. 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.

Cinderella in the sun

The cast of The Abba Show: A Cinderella Story had a morning off in-between rehearsals yesterday and were unanimous in wanting to spend it at uShaka Marine World – in the aquarium and at Wet n Wild.

Just $1? Yes, this universally flattering lipstick is only a buck

We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals . There's nothing we love more than a universally flattering lipstick that looks good on all skin tones. And when it's budget-friendly? That's a win-win! Over 33,000 Amazon shoppers have found a lipstick that checks those boxes and more. Enter Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick, which can be yours for a mere $1. Yes, you read that right — this top-selling lippie is just a buck. While there are 22 colors to choose from, shoppers seem to love Dark Pink Frost the most, saying it enhances their natural lip color. "Got them for my group of girls to wear for [a] performance and this color looks good on everyone. Good deal for the price," raved one. Plus, the color is buildable, so you can reapply as needed until you get the coverage you crave. This popular lipstick is also infused with vitamins A & E, macadamia nut oil and aloe vera, making it super hydrating. The formula is also cruelty-free, so you can feel good about your purchase. You can't even get a candy bar for a buck these days, so we'd say this is a far yummier purchase. One reviewer called it a "natural subtle shade," before adding, "I have been looking for a replacement of the Covergirl lipstick shades that disappeared years ago, and this has been perfect. It's a mauve pink that's natural, very moisturizing and blends well with many makeup looks. I have an olive complexion and this shade is flattering." Others were surprised by how high-quality lipstick is despite its price. "For such a low-priced lipstick, this was a surprisingly good quality lipstick. Such a beautiful color and nice soft consistency of actual lipstick," wrote one shocked shopper. "You don't have to pay a lot of money to get a quality lip product. The color is beautiful and goes on as smoothly as my more expensive brands. I could not be happier," added a third customer. Some shoppers noted they had some issues with the lid. "It's great for a bit of color and helping dry lips. I have them everywhere and use them often. Not a fan of the plastic cover shape, but it works," noted one. Another said, "Lid does not stay on well, so it's not good for traveling unless you tape the top on. Good value for the price. Soft and moisturizing." While we're on the subject of universally flattering lipsticks, Clinique Black Honey might be the most iconic — but it certainly isn't anywhere near just a buck. Still, you can find affordable versions of the wildly popular color, like this one: Amazon E.l.f. Sheer Slick Lipstick, Black Cherry "I truly can't say enough good things about E.l.f. products, and this sheer lip stain is no exception," writes Yahoo Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini. "It's highly ranked by Redditors for its Black-Honey-esque qualities (similar texture and staying power, and a near-identical hue) and I would even go as far as to say it surpasses the original." $5 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $5 at Ulta Beauty If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course.
