The #ProductEmpties We Loved to the Last DropFrom new finds to longtime favorites, these are beauty products that our editors use until the bitter end (of the tube) |
The Hair Gloss That Saved My Bathroom Countertop As a beauty editor, you have some expectation of developing borderline hoarder qualities. I quickly saw a pattern developing around my bathroom sink: It was completely monopolized by half-used hair care products that could never give me shiny, manageable hair post-heat-styling. I'm talking cream and spray leave-in conditioners, shine sprays, five heat protectants, four dry shampoos to undo previously mentioned leave-ins and protectants -- you name it, it was taking up valuable space on my bathroom countertop.
Thankfully, I was finally able to cut through the clutter and reclaim some much-needed space after discovering Aveda Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener, $24, a multi-tasking leave-in that makes taming my natural waves and curls a breeze. With the help of aloe and plant cellulose, it does the work of a leave-in conditioner, humidity blocker, heat protectant, straightener and shine serum, yet it doesn't feel heavy on my hair and smells like citrus-y, sandalwood goodness. My blow-outs and my countertop have never felt lighter. --Erica Smith
