Revlon Tweezers

Not all tweezers are made alike, anyone who has ever tweezed will know this. Ladies and gents, I’m here to tell you that Revlon’s Ceramic Tip Slant Tweezers are the best tweezers ever created by humans. They are new and sort of look like weird robot tweezers—so suffice to say these aren’t the same pair you’ve been casually rolling by at Target all these years. They’re hot off the tweezer presses (a real thing), and they’re better than any I’ve ever used. Ever. Go forth and tweeze triumphantly, my friends.

Makeup Organizer

Per my recent commute essentials post, I am a fan of being prepared and this organizer by Trish McEvoy is precisely what I’m talking about. Genius pockets for transporting your essential cosmetics in a pouch that’s wisely sized for your work bag. Note: It does not come with the products shown, this is just the organizer, and you fill it with your must-haves. Trish McEvoy also makes “palette pages” that snap into this organizer like a three-ring binder from when you were a kid. I’m SOLD.

Shadow Shields

If you are not yet using Shadow Shields, get it together. Shadow Shields are little under-eye Post-It Note-like thingies that catch falling eyeshadow debris while you’re applying your makeup and keep it from ruining your otherwise perfectly contoured and blended cheeks. We’re talking about makeup chivalry here, friends.

Ice Rollers

Have you been seeing these on your Instagram feeds on and off for a couple years? I’m here to tell you I’ve been secretly ice rolling for YEARS. If I have any true skin “secret weapon” it’s ICE. Honestly, I’ve been doing some form of facial icing since high school (first with just ice packs and now with this handy roller). While I try to do it at least once a week, I absolutely always make it a priority to ice roll two nights before any important “event” to ensure my skin is ready for prime time. It reduces puffiness,…

Clear Plastic Bathroom Organizers

I just bought these clear plastic containers to organize a large medicine cabinet in my bathroom and I don’t know what in the world I was doing for so long without them. They allow me to organize boxes of cold medicine, eye drops, makeup products—you name it—without living in fear every time I open the cabinet that 28 things are going to fall out. There are lots of different sizes, and they also stack which makes them amazing for organizing things like lip products or eyeliners because you can get additional storage space and still see everything through the clear plastic.

My Favorite Travel Makeup Cases

Similar to my hunt for the best travel jewelry cases, I’ve also been searching for the best travel makeup cases over the past several months and have found it surprisingly difficult. Maybe I’m turning into an old lady, but at this point, I care a lot less about whether the case is cute and a lot more about whether it successfully keeps everything organized and in one. dang. place. I came across this makeup case a couple months ago and it has been a true game changer for long trips. I was skeptical at first because it’s definitely on the…

The Best Travel Bottles For Shampoo And Lotion

Rich and I are headed to Paris on Thursday for work and I just ordered these squeezable travel bottles for shampoo, conditioner, lotion, face cleanser, you name it. I love that they’re silicone so they’re easy to squeeze (no awkward ketchup bottle smacking situation like other travel-sized products) and they also have a convenient suction cup on the side which allows you to conveniently attach them to a mirror or shower wall.

Clear Lipstick Caps

You should be sitting for this one. Via my friend Lauryn, I recently discovered a company that makes clear plastic caps for popular lipstick brands. How AMAZING is this?! That perfectly-organized makeup collection (who are we kidding, the 45 random items at the bottom of your bag), just got a lot more functional. These caps let you easily see the color in the tube without checking each color name with a magnifying glass, making locating your chosen color so much easier. If you really want to go all the way, replace those caps and then organize everything in this clear…

The Best Hairdryers On The Planet

If you’re looking for a traditional hair dryer, I’ve used T3’s hair dryer for years (they also make my favorite curling wand as well) and highly recommend all of their products. However, in the past few months I’ve switched over to the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dyer and my gahd. I’m a total convert. My hair dries quicker and feels healthier than ever before. I have thick hair so it used to take a good 15-20 minutes to dry thoroughly. Now with the Dyson, it takes five minutes max. Between the time it saves and the noticeable difference I’ve seen in…
