Prior to my beauty editor days, I got one of PÜR’s eyeshadow palettes in a makeup subscription box and immediately fell in love. It’s still one of the few palettes I’ve ever managed to hit pan on, which is honestly saying a lot. Therefore, when I was reintroduced to the brand this past year, I was reminded of how well PÜR does top-quality formulas at such an accessible price point. 

I’m especially referring to the 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation; getting to use what I can say is ‘airbrushed skin in a pan’ was game-changing for my makeup routine. I’ve used a lot of powders in my days, but this was one of the few that actually left me speechless. Simply pressing a minimal amount into my t-zone left breakouts and uneven texture practically invisible.

For less than $30, you’re basically getting four products in one; it’s a foundation, concealer, setting powder and has SPF 15. It’s also packed with skin-soothing ingredients that help the complexion appear plumper and more lifted looking overtime. Waltheria extract brightens dullness, vitamin E keeps the skin hydrated and prevents the powder from settling into age lines, while PÜR’s own blended complex of retinol, lactic acid, shea butter and ceramides improve the appearance of fine lines and texture.

The powder offers medium, buildable coverage (I can confirm it reaches full-coverage) and leaves a natural finish on the skin. Even if I lay it on thick, it never appears cakey or messes with liquid foundation or concealer I’ve applied underneath. Plus, it’s also one of the few powders to keep my oily skin in check all day long, and doesn’t require multiple touch-ups throughout. I recommend using it in conjunction with the PÜR chisel brush, but I’ve found it works well with other brushes, too.

There are simpler, more affordable ways to transform your short lashes into the fluttery envy of everyone you know other than investing in a fancy tube of lash serum. One example is to implement castor oil into your daily regimen; it is a stand-out ingredient for conditioning and nourishing hair, from your scalp to your brows, and can encourage healthier growth through routine applications. Plus, it will only set you back a mere $13—that is, if you choose the Pura D’or Organic Castor Oil. 

The beauty favorite has nearly 6,000 perfect ratings from reviewers who’ve seen massive changes on what they once considered to be hopeless lashes and brows. One person even raved about how their friend used the oil to grow back their brows after accidentally waxing half of one off. “You can’t even tell she only had half an eyebrow at one point; this product worked that well,” they wrote.

The cold-pressed organic castor oil aims to bring fuller hair and thicker lashes and brows with consistent use. It even comes with two on-the-go tubes you can fill with the oil, equipped with a mascara wand and lash line wand for easy applications to those areas. That way, you can bring them with you to the office or on vacation, since the bottles come airtight with no chances of leakage. 

Whether you’ve over plucked your brows, are wanting to stop relying on heavy mascara applications just to make your lashes visible, or need a growth boost around your hairline, this product is capable of producing results.

“I’m actually shocked that I saw a difference, and even more shocked at how fast. I instantly saw a difference in the feeling of my lashes. I have very light blonde lashes so you really can’t see them without mascara,” wrote a new mom, who wanted to bring back the full lashes of their pre-maternity days.. “A few days went by and they seemed longer. Hard to believe, I know. I have been applying two to three times a day. Morning, night and a few minutes before applying mascara. It almost acts like a primer. I don’t use a lot during this application because I don’t want the mascara to smudge, but wow, what a difference! I feel like I have my lashes back.”

If you’ve never tried this avenue of hair growth before, you might be pleasantly surprised at how easy (and fast) an option this on-sale castor oil is. Quit wasting your precious coin on overpriced bottles and go straight for the good stuff.

When it comes to finding fast and effective anti-aging products, there’s no source quite like TikTok. Users and beauty obsessives alike post their honest reviews and also show photographic evidence of whether or not these serums, gels, and creams actually work—you can’t get much better than that. I mean, this past year alone, the social media app pointed out heaps upon heaps of incredible products, including this retinol eye cream that basically erases away under-eye bags like the ‘delete’ button on your keyboard does a misspelled word, this mascara that rivals professional lash extensions and more.

The app even turned us onto some super affordable wrinkle-erasing patches that work overnight. User @thedirtythirties posted a review of the Frownies Facial Patches that received more than 36,000 likes and almost 1 million views, and we can see why. In the post, she removes her Frownies patches that she wore all night to reveal smooth, glowing skin. She placed the patched around her frown lines and on her forehead, and once they were off, well, see for yourself here.

“Oh my god,” she said. “Buy them. Buy them now.”

She’s not the only person urging skincare obsessives to click “add to cart.” Over at Amazon more than 8,400 shoppers have given this anti-aging product a perfect five-star rating thanks to its ability to work like Botox, but function like a face mask.

According to these shoppers, once you use these as directed, you’ll “pass for 20 years younger.”

These sheets are designed to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. All you have to do is apply a sheet (you can even cut them to the shape you like) to the problem area before bed. Once you wake up, you’ll see a smooth and moisturized spot that, according to shoppers, is “like a miracle.’ And given that you get 144 patches for just $24, this “miracle” is an affordable one.

Think about how much use you get out of a cream or gel. Usually, these products last a month or two. But, even if you use one of the Frownies patches every day, you’ll get more than four months’ worth of use. Our lives? Considered them changed.

“Over the course of a week, I’ve been testing out these Frownies facial patches to see if they would actually take away my wrinkles,” TikTok user @cierralin said in her video. “I’m turning 28 soon, and I’ve noticed that the pandemic has truly aged me. They’re supposed to be a botox alternative. You have to wear them every day for them to work, and I think they’re worth it.”

So, we’re adding this to our list of skincare essentials—right next to this biotin spray for thinning spots on Amazon.

When winter hits—and boy, has it hit so far this year—skin can tend to become dry and dull. But you can prevent winter gloom from getting your skin down. There’s a sprinkling of skincare products that can help you out by giving you a much-needed boost of radiance. We dug up one that’s enriched with the best ingredients for combating dull winter skin.

Sunday Riley’s C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil is here to rescue your complexion from the season’s cold wrath. It illuminates your complexion by coating your skin in cold-pressed, nutrient-rich extracts.

Usually, a bottle of the miracle serum costs $40, but thanks to Ulta’s Love Your Skin event where beauty favorites are 50 percent off, you can shop it for just $20. This super sweet deal is live for today only, so get to it!

“Throw your makeup away,” wrote one fan. “I’m not a big fan of serums and oils, but this stuff is magical. It gives skin the most subtle glow, and most of the time I wear it, I don’t wear makeup. It’s that good.”

Vitamin C and turmeric are of course partially to thank for the bright, dewy results, but there’s a laundry list of other ingredients that make this face oil so great. Keep reading to see what they are and how they fuse together to make the hero product you need this winter.

Sunday Riley has amassed quite the cult following because of its clean, cruelty-free skincare that’s powered by science and botanicals. 

All of this shines through in the C.E.O Glow Face Oil. Vitamin C is a jack of all trades in the realm of skincare. It tackles dullness, loss of firmness, wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots and redness (a.k.a all of the visible signs of aging we can think of). 

On top of that powerhouse ingredient, turmeric helps reduce redness and improves skin texture, evening primrose oil moisturizes and jojoba seed oil locks in that moisture. Plus, red raspberry hydrates, ginger soothes, pomegranate seed oil protects, and cranberry seed oil retains moisture. There’s clearly nothing this product doesn’t do for your skin. All of these botanicals result in a formula free from sulfates, parabens, gluten, soy, phthalates and fragrance.

To apply, massage two to three drops onto your face, neck and décolletagé. You can use it every morning and evening, depending on your skin’s preferences. Either way, you’ll look in the mirror and be in awe of your radiant, nourished complexion.

Over at Amazon, tons of reviewers say they’ve experienced this new glow and given this product a five-star rating. “I like that this oil does just what it says that it will do,” wrote one shopper. “I’m already out of it and need some more, but I can see the positive difference in my skin’s brightness, tone, clarity and texture.”

Another reviewer applies the rich oil with a facial roller to help their makeup look extra dewy and smooth.

“Although I have changed a few things in my routine, I really do think that this product has been the main reason for evening out my skin tone and clearing those dark spots,” wrote the reviewer.

There’s much more of where that came from, but you might as well just add it to your cart for $20 and watch your face get its glow back. From now on, winter’s got nothing on your skin.
