For seriously skimpy eyebrows like ours, Benefit’s Brow Zing has shown us the LOVE. This product has stood by us for the last FIVE years, never once flaking out or rejecting our calls, always ready and available to create those perfectly arched, eye-framing brows we all dream of.

The soft, pigmented wax on one side defines and shapes, while the complimenting setting powder adds just the right amount of fill-in. We don’t suggest using the teeny tiny brush that comes in the kit (we lost ours eons ago!) but Benefit’s Hard Angle Brush has a long enough handle and precise enough tip to make application a breeze.

Your brows will thank you.

Wish your manicure lasted an entire week instead of the usual 3 days?

To look like you’ve just walked out of the salon days after your appointment, massage a little Creative Nail Design Solar Oil into your cuticles every morning and sit back while the compliments pour in. Solar Oil is made with nourishing jojoba oil, vitamin E and the delicious scent of almond oil, penetrating quickly to nourish cuticles and nail beds. Try this, and be pleasantly surprised.

Hope in a Jar is our tried and true summer moisturizer. This formula is so light and fresh, yet somehow can deeply penetrate and moisturize our parched summer skin.

Its only adverse quality is the lack of SPF, but that doesn’t stop us from using it at night.

We LOVE this stuff!

Could there be anything worse than having dry, arid lips?

We think not.

In fact, we will go as far as saying that lip balm is right up there next to moisturizer and water on our list of beauty necessities.

A few years ago we found MAC’s Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 and it’s been a favorite ever since. With a hint of vanilla and a sheer tint, this lip balm soothes and softens while protecting our lips from the sun’s harsh rays. Keep one in your nightstand, in the car and on your desk. Choose from six colors, our favorite being Petting Pink.

Seriously, don’t leave home without it.
