Kora Organics Purifying Day and Night Cream keeps my skin supermodel fresh, as it was created by glamazon Miranda Kerr — who has only the most flawless skin ever! Made with organic ingredients, my skin sucks this formula up like a slurpee on those blistering cold days.

Rosebud Perfume Co. Minted Rose Lip Balmis another skin-saving essential that I rely on at all times. Use on dry lips, elbows or cuticles; I simply love the tingly sensation it gives my pout.

Ardency INN PUNKER Unrivaled Volume & Curl Lash Wax finds its way into my makeup bag constantly. Its wax-based formula doesn’t dry out or clump lashes together. Just sweep and go for an instant boost of sexiness whenever you need it.

no!no! Hair PRO 3really does work, ladies! I swear! Great for gentle hair-removing, use on arms, legs and underarms for a truly painless treatment. Plus, it’s way more affordable than pricey salon treatments.

Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment helps banish those raccoon eyes fast with its vitamin C and brightening formula that I’m unapologetically addicted to. Best used in the morning and before bed, say ‘hello’ to brighter eyes with continued use.
