This butter-like balm is in a class of its own. It soothes even the sorest lips and it leaves behind a rosy tint I wish I came by naturally. Plus it smells delicious—kind of like a sweet-tart rolled up inside a rose petal. It's a bit of a splurge at $22.50 but it checks both the balm and lipcolor boxes for me so the per-usage price is down to like a dime.  Buy it at fresh.com. And prepare to become addicted. 

For days when I want my hair extra-straight, this is my go-to combo ($23 each). Spiked with olive oil, this deeply moisturizing duo smooths away frizzies, boosts shine, and makes my hair slip-through-your fingers silky. One caveat: I can't use it every time I wash or my fine hair falla flat. But as an occasional hair-smoothie, it's stellar. Buy both at fekkai.com.

No false promises here. If you want longer, fuller eye fringe, this is your product. I saw results within 10 days, and my extra-long lashes now they flutter against my sunglasses. Safe for all eye colors (mine are blue and quite sensitive). Buy a three-month supply for $98 at revitalash.com.

When I started using a Sonicare toothbrush, I stopped getting cavities, my teeth felt less sensitive, and my gums stopped bleeding when I flossed. I also now get praised (rather than tsk-tsk’ed) at my dental checkups. Surprising how a little vibration/rotation makes such a big difference. But seeing is believing, and my smile looks pretty good. Just ask my dentist. Get your own at philips.com for about $130 (there are also adequate, less-expensive models available).

These clear plastic pins are like bobby pins on steroids. They hold even the finest, most slippery strands in a neat chignon. And at $3 for a pack, you’ll never run out. Get them at sallybeauty.com.

Despite the marketing claims, this doesn’t really look like liquid eyeliner on the skin. But it’s still an exceptional product. It glides on like a soft crayon, imparting color evenly across the lid. And this shade, an eggplant-y purple, would be gorgeous on almost anyone. It’s also a bargain at $8. Get it at walmart.com.
