1. A Westman Atelier contour stick so you can look and feel snatched every single day. You'll love the natural finish on this and just how easy it is to blend out, plus it's easy to pop in your bag and bring with you for a refresh. 

Sephora

Promising review: "Can’t say enough good things about this product! I use it during the summer and winter months, and it provides the best contour ever! It glides on amazingly and feels like nothing on my skin!" —SteffiL23

Price: $26 (available in three colors) 

2. A Merit serum that'll plump and hydrate your skin while also making you look as glowy as a glazed donut. It uses a combo of niacinamide (to brighten and refine), hyaluronic acid (to hydrate and moisturize), and cacao seed extract (to plump). 

Sephora

Promising review: "This is the best serum I’ve ever used. My skin feels smoother, more hydrated, and looks healthier since I started using it. I noticed results very quickly, and a little goes a long way. I will definitely repurchase." —daanielaao

Price: $19 

3. An Hourglass concealer to give your skin an IRL filtered look. Lightweight and long-wearing, don't be surprised when you find yourself purchasing the full-sized one after you run out of the mini. 

Sephora

Promising review: "This concealer is so good, it doesn’t look cakey or dry under my under eyes, and it has really good coverage!" —toriangelik

Price: $20(available in 32 shades) 

4. A can of the viral One/Size setting spray in case you've been wanting to try it forever. It's mattifying, waterproof, and lasts up to 16 hours, making it perfect for days (and nights) when you leave home and don't know when you'll get back. ;) 

Sephora

Promising review: "Definitely the best setting spray I've tried in years! This is the longest my makeup has lasted, and the first time my husband was able to touch my face without fear of transfer. I have very oily skin, and makeup typically breaks down after one hour of application. With this spray, I lasted four hours, and that included Florida's humidity, eating a salad, drinking without a straw, and wiping my face without transfer. It's definitely a staple for a day or night out for me." —Iridess 

Price: $18 

5. An Hourglass tie-dye blush to give your skin an airbrush finish. Easy to blend and super lightweight yet buildable, I'll take one in every single shade, please. KThanksBye! 

Sephora

Promising review: "The finish of this blush is gorgeous — luminous and dreamy without looking like highlighter. The pigmentation is very forgiving and buildable, and the mini size is ideal for those who rotate blush often." —IsobelJ

Price: $32 (available in three shades) 

6. An Ilia essence that doubles as a moisturizer because I love a 2-in-1 product. Smoothing, hydrating, and redness reducing, this is going to convince you to commit to the full-size in no time! 

Sephora

Promising review: "This is the best! I like a face milk, but this one is another level. Recommend for oily skin like myself and also dry and combination skin! So good!! I bought this with my own money, and I will keep buying." —Alexandra0902

Price: $28 

7. A Tarte tubing mascara to give your lashes volume, length, and curl. Tubing mascara is super easy to apply, all you need to do is wiggle it through your lashes, and it will do its thing! I should also add that it's smudge-proof, long-wearing, and flake-proof.

Sephora

Promising review: "This is my FAVORITE mascara everrrr. It is so worth every penny. My eyelashes stay up all day and look amazing. It comes off easily without ripping any eyelashes out at night. I would repurchase a million times." —SaylorLane

Price: $15 (available in two colors) 

8. A Patrick Ta cream and powder blush duo, so you can get the best of both worlds, duh! You can use either of these on their own, but they work best when layered together. Blush blindness? IDK her. 

Sephora

Promising review: "This is the most pigmented blush I have ever tried, one tap for both cheeks! And it lasts all day!" —KALindsey

Price: $25 (available in four colors) 

9. A Milk hydrating grip primer with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to blur your skin before you apply your makeup. It gives your skin a subtle glow, makes a great base for your routine, and extends wear.

Sephora

Promising review: "This is absolutely my new favorite primer. I have never experienced any pilling. It’s hydrating and tacky and keeps my makeup in place. My face does not get oily at all while using this." —BritMapp

Price: $20 

10. A Charlotte Tilbury mini blurring and setting powder, because doesn't your skin deserve this? This diffuses light, making your skin look flawless while also blurring it. It's well-loved by celebrities and at least 800 reviewers. 

Sephora

Promising review: "Love this product. I didn’t quite get the hype until I switched from a fluffy brush to my powder puff. It is top-tier. I completely recommend. It’s not dry-looking either, which I tend to have an issue with. I will definitely be repurchasing as the full size." —BDai

Price: $29 (available in four shades) 

11. An essence that'll brighten and hydrate your skin while giving it a natural glow. It uses a combo of hyaluronic acid and squalane to hydrate and plump your skin, niacinamide to brighten it, and peptides to lift and firm it. 

Sephora

Promising review: "No incentive review. I just bought this a week ago and have been using it for the last few days. It is beautiful and left my skin plump and moisturized after the first use. It seems like everything sits better on my skin." —jlove757

Price: $35 

12. An Amika nourishing mask because your hair deserves the same kind of TLC that your skin gets. It softens and moisturizes your hair with jojoba seed oil, while also nourishing your strands with sea buckthorn. 

Sephora

Promising review: "This mask smells really nice and works from the very first use. My hair felt instantly softer, smoother, and more nourished. You only need a small amount for great results, which makes it last longer. It restores and hydrates without weighing the hair down — definitely a must-have in my routine!" —Prolisok

Price: $20 

13. A Laneige milky creamy toner mist that'll nourish, firm, and hydrate your skin. It also has white leaf tea, which is super ~soothing. ~ Fun fact: It comes in a refillable bottle! 

Sephora

Promising review: "Such a grail…perfect for refreshing your face when your skin feels dry but you don’t want to strip your skin by overwashing. Hydrating but very breathable and light." —em655

Price: $12 

14. A Rare Beauty mini blush because you cannot decide on which shade you want, so you get three minis to find your perfect shade. Beauty math, am I right?! These are weightless, super pigmented, and blend out perfectly. 

Sephora

I am a huge fan of this blush formula. I usually add one dab of color and blend it out. I've tried a few shades and loved them all. They have survived all kinds of weather here in NYC, too!

Promising review: "Absolutely love this product! Works amazing. Blends well. Part of my everyday routine. I'm a bit of a blush-aholic and wear a little powder blush on top, but it’s so pretty. 100/10 buy this! Worth the price and hype!!" —taylorburnss

Price: $16(available in four radiant shades and one matte)  

15. A Gisou honey-infused hair oil that'll give your hair hydration, smooth frizz, and boost shine, so your hair can look movie-worthy. It uses Mirsalehi honey, which can hydrate and add shine, while bee garden oils calm frizz, nourish, and keep your hair moisturized. 

Sephora

I love this hair oil so much! I tried a mini and fell in love. It smells so good and does a great job of taming my very frizzy hair while also keeping it nice and shiny. 

Promising review: "I've been using this oil for three years and keep repurchasing it. It's lightweight, nongreasy, and really helps tame frizz without weighing my hair down." —Ellanar

Price: $25

16. A bottle of the Saie cream blush because it is super pigmented and super blendable. It will give your skin a dewy glow that lasts all day. Trust me, I've put it to the test! 

Sephora

A little goes a long way. I find that it works best when I dab the applicator on my hand and use my finger to tap it in. (The applicator is great, but it has a lot of product on it.) These blushes have lasted on my skin all day long, even through NYC's ever-changing temps.

Promising review: "This is my favorite blush, ever, not too pigmented, the perfect amount of dew, perfect for beginners. Lovely and absolute need in my makeup routine." —horsebackgirly

Price: $17 (available in four colors) 

17. A Tatcha soft-cream cleanser that'll wash away the day without stripping your skin. Not only will it hydrate your skin, but it will also give it a bit of glow thanks to Japanese algae, hyaluronic acid, and Tatcha's hadasei-3. 

Sephora

Promising review: "Hands down the BEST facial cleanser I have EVER used! I have super sensitive skin and have never had a bad reaction using this. My skin feels refreshed and looks amazing. I could not recommend enough!" —nikkibaybee7

Price: $19 

18. A Kérastase night serum to basically give your hair its own beauty rest! In eight hours, this serum works to nourish your hair, detangle it, hydrate it, and give it shine. 

Sephora

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I have coarse, frizzy hair, and this has completely transformed it. I do one pump of product into my hair nightly and wake up with soft, manageable hair." —afine1

Price: $32

19. A leave-in conditioner to help hydrate your strands while also giving them a bit of shine, and it's even heat-safe. Trust us when we say, your hair is about to be complimented nonstop! 

Sephora

Promising review: "I’ve been using this leave-in conditioner for about a month now. I love the scent, and the packaging is cute, and I love the pump. Easy to use, and it locks. I have thick, coarse hair for context. I am Mexican, and my hair is naturally curly. I love lightweight products that don’t leave a grimy texture and don’t weigh my hair down, and this is one of them. I love it!!"—Ariana20b

Price: $13 

20. A Glow Recipe toner in case you have mixed feelings about whether you want to add a toner step to your routine. Although this is a mini, it is full of strong and powerful ingredients to calm your skin (like watermelon extract and cactus water), plump and hydrate it (glycerin), and also smooth and resurface your skin (PHA + BHA).  

Sephora

Promising review: "I have been using toner from Glow Recipe for a couple of months, and I can honestly say I really love it! My skin looks so much more glowy and healthy. It also really helped with the appearance of my pores. It feels gentle on my skin. It doesn’t sting or dry me out, which I’ve experienced with other toners before. It just feels refreshing and lightweight, and it layers well with the rest of my skincare. Overall, I’m really happy I purchased it. It’s definitely become a staple in my routine, and I would repurchase it." —flnctharis

Price: $16 

21. A Tower 28 moisturizer that's designed for sensitive skin if your skin needs a little help rn. There's a lot to love about this product because it can hydrate, calm, and also help reinforce your skin's barrier. 

Sephora

Promising review: "I’ve been struggling with redness and uneven skin color for a long time. This is the only product that has helped me. It's a must-have in my routine, and I will keep re-purchasing it. I love the texture and the way my skin feels after each application." —DorelaD

Price: $14 

22. A Moroccanoil hairspray to keep your hair looking stunning all day and all night. It takes it two steps further by also being frizz and humidity-repellent, while also giving it some shine. Get ready for your best hair day yet! 

Sephora

Promising review: "I continue to repurchase this hairspray, it smells great, has a nice hold without the 'crunch', and doesn’t leave any residue in my hair. Even my husband reaches for it over his hair gel!"—ashleyscott

Price: $14 

23. A Caudalíe clay face maskthat'll deeply cleanse your skin — think of this like a detox juice for your face! It's designed to wash away excess sebum, tighten your pores, and visibly illuminate your complexion.

Promising review: "This mask is everything and more. It works quickly and thoroughly removes whatever may be clogging your pores without stripping your skin. In 10 minutes, your skin is clear and soft." —smartnfunnygirl

Price: $22 

24. APaula's Choice exfoliating tonerbecause you've heard so much buzz about it, but aren't convinced enough yet to buy the full-sized bottle. It uses BHA to help shed dead skin and clear your skin of buildup, but balances it out with calming and soothing green tea extract. 

Sephora

Promising review: "I purchased the mini size because I was skeptical at first, but I will definitely buy the full-size one soon! I get very dry around my nose and on my forehead. When I layer my foundation on top, it just looks gross. But the exfoliator cleared up the dry patches and left my skin feeling very smooth. A must have for skin prep!" —Priya754

Price: $15 

25. A hydrating moisturizerby the Ordinary to add to your everyday routine. It works for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and uses amino acids, dermal lipids, and hyaluronic acid to create a lightweight, non-greasy formula that supports your skin barrier. I'll take 10!

Sephora

Promising review: "Decided to try this moisturizer and I’m glad I did! The texture is perfect for my combo skin — not greasy or sticky and not drying. A small amount goes a long way! Definitely getting the full size next time." —aneshi

Price: $6.70 

26. A texturizing air-dry hair mousse, so you can style your hair in a pinch. This product will create a wavy texture, giving you the boho beachy hair of your dreams.

Sephora

Promising review: "I have tried many hair mousse products over the years, and this one is absolutely the best, hands-down. It is quite amazing. It makes my wavy frizzy hair full-bodied and curly. Really defines the curls. I love it and will be re-ordering." —sph1111

Price: $22 

27. A well-loved Huda Beauty setting powder because you've seen it all over social media, and it's time to finally try it. Each shade is lightly pigmented to blur your skin, brighten it, and keep it set all day and all night long.
