I'm thankful for ...

Avène Cicalfate Restorative Hand Cream, $25. No one ever tells you that having a baby ruins your hands. Between the bucket of Purell stationed by the changing table, the constant hand-washing to remove traces of spit-up and poop, and the countless baby bottles and pumping paraphernalia that need to be washed daily, my sensitive, eczema-prone hands felt like they aged five years in three months. This ultra-rich, fragrance-free lotion absorbs fast (no greasy mitts), and cleared up my irritated, cracked skin in days.

Wen Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner, $32. If I could get away with never washing my hair, I would -- namely, because my fine hair tangles so terribly in the shower that it takes a solid 10 minutes to comb it out afterwards (even after using a detangler). This is the only product I've used that lets me run a brush through my hair post-shower. No snags, no snarls -- just shiny, manageable hair. --Jill Provost

Marc Jacobs Lip Lock Moisture Balm, $24 I love a good lip balm. I keep them stashed in every purse and on any surface space available, but Marc Jacobs' Makeout Balm is the one lip product I keep coming back to. It comes in a classic black and silver twist-up tube, so you can swipe it on in transit without getting your fingers messy. It has a refreshing peppermint scent and ultra-hydrating ingredients like avocado and shea butter that leave your lips smooth and plump without any waxy residue.

Eve Lom Moisture Mask, $90 Every fall and winter, without fail, my skin gets dry and peel-y (gross, I know) no matter how much moisturizer I use. This mask from Eve Lom, however, soothes tight, dry skin in just 15 minutes. The rich, clear formula is more of a cooling gel than a cream, and it doesn't clog my pores or irritate my sensitive skin, which is truly something to be thankful for. --Marissa DeSantis

Make Up For Ever HD Pressed Powder, $36. Before I found this product, I was on an ongoing hunt for makeup products that didn't sweat/melt/evaporate off my face after three hours of wear. I just thought that's how makeup was, and had to come to terms with touching up my face multiple times throughout the day. Then I tried this translucent finishing powder and fell in love. Now, my makeup stays on all day, my face doesn't get shiny or greasy-looking and I don’t have to "powder my nose" once during the work day.

Original Vaseline Jelly, $3. You won't find plain ol' Vaseline jelly in the aisles of Sephora or on the pages of any trendy magazine, but I'm thankful for this one basic product. I've used this product for everything. Growing up in the frigid Midwest, a little Vaseline on my lips and on my dry hands saved me from painful windburn and chapping. Now I use it to remove stubborn eye makeup, and I apply it to my lashes at night to keep them conditioned, strong and long. --Hayley Mason

I'm thankful for ...

Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder, $26. I'll be honest: I hate washing my hair (mostly because then I have to style it afterward). Which is why I love this dry shampoo, volumizing powder and texturizing powder hybrid. It soaks up oil without leaving white residue and gives my fine hair a boost, essentially faking a fresh blowout on two-or-three-day-old hair. Plus, it smells powder-fresh.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette, $58. It's not an exaggeration when I say that this powder is magical. The three shades have micro-fine shimmer that's not at all frosty or gaudy. I use the shades for everything: as a bit of bronzer (hey, I'm super pale so it works), highlighter, blush and setting powder. Just a light dusting over my entire face diffuses light and gives a soft-focus effect that always results in a compliment or two. --Allie Flinn

I'm thankful for ...

Urban Decay Naked Skin Beauty Balm, $34. I'm extremely low maintenance when it comes to "putting on my face" and this BB is my friendly enabler. All I need is a few seconds in front of the mirror, because this does it all: goes on smoothly, leaves my skin feeling soft, blurs imperfections and equips me with SPF ... all while feeling like absolutely nothing. The cherry on top: It smells like mint, my No. 1 most favorite thing in the world.

Eyeko Mascara Off Eye Makeup Remover Wipes, $9. Almost nothing makes me regret a night out more than counting the eyelash casualties as a I wipe (or more aptly, smear) a smoky cat eye all over my face before calling it a night. But thanks to these super-soft eye makeup wipes, I can go from layers of shadow, liner and mascara to a completely clean slate in record time, no scraping or regret required. My intact and gunk-free lashes thank me every morning after. --Erica Smith
