Loving You is Easy Cause Your Beautiful Making Love With You is All I Want to Do
The entire Simple Skincare line
Almost all of Simple Skincare's products cost less than $10, and I use many of them every day. The compostable cleansing wipes easily wipe off any makeup I'm wearing, whether it's BB cream, powder foundation, or mascara. I also really like the facial wash, because it is gentle enough to not irritate my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. Although the micellar water technically costs more than $10 ($8.89 at Target), it's close enough that I'll mention it here as well! It's great for removing makeup and keeping my face hydrated and happy. — Malarie Gokey, deputy editor
Mario Badescu Facial Spray
I used to think face mists were entirely unnecessary, but I've become an enthusiastic convert since trying the Mario Badescu and Youth to the People sprays. I have combination skin that skews dry, and these are game changing for achieving that dewy, plump, Glossier-ad complexion hydration without relying on thick creams that can veer into a greasy, pore-clogging mess. It's also easy to apply throughout the day (no sticky hands or prolonged massaging) and has become an unexpectedly calming ritual, since they smell so good and feel refreshing. — Mara Leighton, senior reporter
I also love Mario Badescu's facial sprays and have at least one at my desk at all times — the others are in my fridge until I need them. There are a few different formulas, and each one is as hydrating and refreshing as the next. My favorite is the original Rosewater but I adore the Lavender one for its calming scent. I'm not ashamed to say that I mist my face at least once an hour, and my skin definitely feels when I've skipped a spritz. — Jada Wong, senior editor
ILNP nail polish
Matte and muted nail polish is super trendy right now, but I still love a good bold polish, and ILNP (short for I Love Nail Polish) makes the most exciting colors I've seen. The selection includes chromatic, holographic, iridescent, and sparkly polishes in a range of colors. I love that they're constantly changing color depending on the light and they add a bit of excitement, brightness, and pizzazz to my otherwise routine loungewear wardrobe these days. — Lauren Savoie, editor
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara (2-pack)
I have tried expensive mascaras before, and I just do not see the point when something as good as L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara exists, and you can get a two-pack for $9.97. I wear this mascara regularly, and it works perfectly on my invisible blonde eyelashes with minimal clumping. — Malarie Gokey, deputy editor
L'Oréal True Match Super Blendable Powder
I am very pale but also rosy of complexion with a tendency for rosacea, and this powder foundation is the only one that I've found that is (a) less than $10 and (b) matches my skin tone without making me look orange. I've been using this for years to mask shine and minimize redness. — Malarie Gokey, deputy editor
C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve
In the winter, my lips get super dry and chapped if I don't moisturize them at least twice a day. C.O. Bigelow's Rose Salve is my new favorite lip balm. I recently got a pack of tins, and it has replaced my other lip balms in short order. It's moisturizing, smells nice, and has a light pink tint to it. I've used it on my dry cuticles, too. — Malarie Gokey, deputy editor
OGX Protecting + Silk Blowout Quick Drying Thermal Spray, $6.99
I blow-dry my hair a lot, so a heat-protecting spray is a must. There are plenty of much pricier options out there, but my go-to is this $7 spray from OGX. I get consistently shiny and smooth results, and a bottle lasts me two to three months. — Ellen Hoffman, executive editor
Lip Smacker Lip Gloss Lip Balm Dr. Pepper
I want to be someone who likes to wear lipstick, but I'm not. The most coverage I like is a tinted sheen — and, believe it or not, Lip Smackers makes the most perfectly understated red. And, since it's a lip balm, it's shiny but not goopy like a gloss. It's a trick I picked up from my older sister, and a few years ago I bought it in bulk in case they eventually stop making it and tucked one into most of my purses and coat. It's low maintenance, but surprisingly pretty. — Mara Leighton, senior reporter
Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment
Aquaphor is the only product I've found that actually repairs my (frequently) chapped lips. I don't love how sticky it is, but I've learned that a little bit goes a long way. — Mara Leighton, senior reporter
NYX Eyebrows Cake Powder, $6
I've been using this eyebrow powder since I was in middle school, and am always delighted to see that NYX is still keeping it stocked in drugstores. It looks so natural on my darker brows, and also comes with wax and a small spoolie so you can easily shape your brows on the go. The best part by far though is the $6 price. — Allison Jiang, story production fellow
ChapStick Total Hydration Moisture + Tint, starting at $3.97
I second Mara's love for Lip Smackers' Dr. Pepper Balm, which I've been using on and off for almost a decade depending on how often I forget it in a jacket pocket or bag and buy a new one. If I don't have a tube of Lip Smackers, I'll usually have ChapStick Total Hydration Moisture + Tint on me. Unlike the more traditional Chapstick that feels like hard wax on my lips, this melts into my skin and feels weightless and comforting — I can feel a noticeable difference before and after I apply. There are a handful of colors, all of which I've tried and barely notice any difference because they're semi-sheer. I keep at least one by my desk, nightstand, and bathroom vanity at all times, not to mention all the ones I've forgotten in my jacket pockets. — Jada Wong, senior editor
Rosebud Perfume Co. Rosebud Salve, $7
I've been using this Rosebud Salve since 2008 when I read it was Kaley Cuoco and one of the Olsen twin's favorite lip glosses in Vanity Fair, and when it used to cost just $5. The tin is substantial and one lasts me a whole year despite using it on my lips, cuticles, and general skin irritation literally everyday — I don't go to sleep without a layer of this on my lips each night. The formula is soothing and helps alleviate any dryness wherever I apply it, and the sheer pink tint is barely noticeable so I don't have to worry about any unexpected blobs of color wherever I use it. There's also nothing more satisfying in the world than a fresh new tin of Rosebud Salve — if you know, you know. — Jada Wong, senior editor
Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm, $9.99
This is one of the best cleansing balms I've used and it's such a good inexpensive buy. It was my go-to travel cleanser because of the solid formula and small footprint, but I've used it all up during my time at home due to the pandemic. The texture melts as soon as it hits my skin and is so easy to massage in for a deep clean. I barely notice the eucalyptus scent because it's subtle, but my skin definitely drinks up the vitamin E and I never feel like my skin is dried out after rinsing. — Jada Wong, senior editor
Olive & June Nail Polish in HZ, $8
I'm forever on the hunt for a perfect nude polish that fits my skin tone and undertone, and Olive & June's polish in HZ is a solid contender. It's a nice creamy neutral and has just enough of a rosy tint that doesn't make my hands look like a mannequin's. The formula is smooth and evens out really well so you don't have to keep going over it with the brush, and the wide brush makes DIY manicures a breeze — it takes just two swipes to cover most of my fingertips and three to cover my thumbs. I wore this shade for a few events in the lead up to my wedding last year and it complemented every outfit. One coat is enough for a super sheer and natural vibe, but I always do two coats for a my-nails-but-better look. — Jada Wong, senior editor
Vichy Pureté Thermale One Step Micellar Cleansing Water & Makeup Remover, $8.50
I always use Vichy's micellar water when I need to take off eye makeup. I wet a cotton pad, hold it over my closed eyes for a few seconds, gently wipe off, and poof — everything has disappeared. You can clearly see my eyeliner and mascara come off on the wipe, in almost a cartoon-like fashion and there's no scrubbing needed. The formula is gentle on my eyes and never irritates or stings and doesn't require extra rinsing afterwards, though I do it by choice rather than necessity. — Jada Wong, senior editor
