Brow Wow
Some days, we feel like using a brow pencil, other days, a powder. The folks at Benefit Cosmetics clearly feel us, which must be why they created the genius two-in-one Brow Styler Eyebrow Pencil & Powder Duo, $34. With an angled wax pencil on one end and a coordinating power on the other, it's got everything you need to get killer brows — any way you like.
Bright Idea
As the cold creeps in each season, so typically, does a dull, lackluster complexion. But we've got a secret weapon this year: Neutrogena Bright Boost Illuminating Serum, $19.99, which acts like a light-switch for your skin, brightening instantly and over time with powerhouse ingredients like neoglucosamine and turmeric extract. We've never looked glowier.
Hair Helper
Like its sister product, the Oil-in-Cream (which is in nearly every top hairstylist's kit), Shu Uemura Essence Absolue All-in-Oil Hair Milk, $46, is sure to become an indispensable favorite, as well. Packed with camellia oil, the lightweight formula softens, defrizzes, boosts shine, and pretty much does anything and everything to deliver a good hair day.
Green Cleaning
The lazy girl in us is obsessed with makeup-removing towelettes... but the eco girl in us feels more than a little guilty every time we throw one into the trashcan. That's why we're so excited about Simple Skincare Compostable Cleansing Wipes, $7.99. Made of plant fibers and sustainable wood pulp, they can be dropped into a compost bin along with your banana peels and coffee grounds and will break down in 42 days.
Face-the-Day Cream
Cult-favorite Origins Ginzing Oil-Free Energy Boosting Gel Moisturizer, $30, just got a fresh new update: The improved formula is like a wake-up call for your complexion with coffee and ginseng to perk up dull skin, and a new hydrating technology to keep your moisturized for 72 hours. Oh, and because c'mon, let's face it, this is important, too: The zingy moisturizer smells is just fantastic.
