Best Affordable Mascara

Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara ($5)

Looking for a mascara that will deliver length and volume on a budget? You can't miss with this option from Essence. It has more than 350,000 reviews and a 4.3 rating. Our beauty editor even tested it out to see if it lived up to its status as Amazon's bestselling mascara. Spoiler alert: it sure did. For all the details and photos, read her Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara review.

Editor quote: "With just one sweep of the cone-shaped wand, I started to see an increase in length and volume. The brush's soft bristles work to grab each eyelash to define and fan them out, without any clumps. Even after I layered on two coats, my lashes didn't get globby or heavy-feeling." — Jessica Harrington, senior editor, Beauty

Best Lip Stain

Best Lip Stain

Palladio Lip Stain ($9)

This hydrating, waterproof lip stain delivers saturated color that won't rub off throughout the day. The pointed tip makes it easy to outline your lips, while the angled sides of the applicator are perfect for filling in your lips. It comes in six different shades, so you can choose between a bold or soft look. After seeing it go viral on TikTok, our editor decided to try it out and loved the results. For more details and photos, read her Palladio Lip Stain review.

Editor quote: "What I like about this lip stain is twofold: it's cheap and long-lasting... It stayed put all night. I wore the lip color throughout an hours-long dinner with numerous glasses of wine, and to both my surprise and delight, it remained intact even when I returned home later that evening." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Commerce

Best Heatless Curling Set

Best Heatless Curling Set

Clione Heatless Curling Set ($14, originally $15)

If you're looking to get voluminous curls without the heat damage, this set of satin hair rollers and bonnets is worth a try. It's comfortable to sleep in and delivers results. Our editor even put it to the test and marveled at the level of bounce and volume she was able to get. Read all about her experience in this Clione Heatless Curling Set review.

Editor quote: "I like this set better than the original viral heatless curler that featured a flexible rod that goes over your head — I find this one adds way more volume. Plus, the fact that each section is covered by its own bonnet means that my hair doesn't get super frizzy, and it's actually a lot smoother than I can even get it when using a blow dryer." — RR

Best Nail-Repair Kit

Best Nail-Repair Kit

Karlash Nail Repair Kit ($16, originally $19)

When there's a broken or cracked nail emergency, save yourself a trip to the salon by busting out this trusty kit. Even more durable than acrylic, this gel powder dipping system doesn't have a powerful smell like others. Just buff the nail to smooth the surface, brush the nail glue resin on evenly, and dip the nail in the powder. Our editor put this kit to the test and now relies on it whenever her manicure needs rescuing. For more details and photos, check out her Karlash Nail Repair Kit review.

Editor quote: "The first time I used this nail kit, it took me approximately five minutes to master, and it completely saved my manicure. I was able to repair a split in my thumb, repolish the nail, and continue business as usual without any issues. It worked so well, it kept the torn nail intact until the break had grown out enough that I could cut it down." — JH

Best Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner

Best Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner

Biolage Hydra Source Shampoo ($24) and Biolage Hydra Source Conditioning Balm ($24)

For a deeply moisturizing shampoo and conditioner set that has high ratings, thousands of reviews, and an editor stamp of approval to back it, you have to try this shampoo and conditioner from Biolage. Our editor has been using it for years and has converted friends and family to also fall in love with its hydrating formula. She relies on it to keep her hair looking shiny and healthy. For more details and photos, read her Biolage Hydra Source Shampoo and Conditioning Balm review.

Editor quote: "I love the Biolage Shampoo and Conditioner Balm so much that I've bugged my friends and family to try it — and they, too, have fallen in love for the same reasons as me: it makes my hair super soft, lathers super well, and imparts next-level shine." — MP

Best Lip Sleeping Mask
PS Photography | Marisa Petrarca

Best Lip Sleeping Mask

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($24)

For buttery-soft lips, this leave-on lip mask deeply nourishes and hydrates. It has over 36,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.7 stars, but Amazon shoppers aren't the only fans. Our former editor slathers this on at night and wakes up to "soft and plump" lips. She dishes all of the details in this LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask review.

Editor quote: "It's a lusciously thick formula with a silky-soft texture and a glossy finish. I agree with our former content director, Macy Cate Williams, who reviewed the original Berry formula and said: 'This lip mask isn't sticky or uncomfortable — it glides on smoothly and feels very soothing on my lips.' Like her, I'm also a fan of using it instead of a regular lip balm throughout the day. The tiniest amount goes a long way, so even with multiple applications daily, it lasts a while." — MP

Best Liquid Eyeliner
PS Photography | Angela Elias

Best Liquid Eyeliner

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner ($24)

Few eyeliners are as iconic as Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner. Having been around for over a decade, it boasts a nearly perfect five-star rating for its ease of application (thanks to its super fine-tip marker-like applicator), long wear, and smudge resistance. One of our editors relies on it because she knows it'll stand up to snuggling with her toddler, exercising, and, simply living her life. It even survives, in her words, "absent-minded" eye rubs. Learn more about why she loves it in her Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner review.

Editor quote: "While liquid eyeliner is usually associated with dramatic, '60s era cat eyes, the ultra-thin marker-like tip on this product makes it easy to draw a superthin line. I love how it subtly enhances my eyes without making me feel like I have a ton of eye makeup on for school drop off. As someone who prefers a natural look, I was worried that the Intense Black color might be a little too intense, but I think it's the perfect pop." — Angela Elias, contributing editor, Commerce

Best Undereye Patches

Best Undereye Patches

Wander Baggage Claim Gold Under Eye Patches ($26)

Banish dark circles and undereye puffiness like a queen with these shimmering gold undereye patches. Hyaluronic acid works to cool, soothe and hydrate the skin under the eyes, helping to reduce fine lines as well. Unlike some undereye patches, these won't budge, making them the ideal product for multitaskers. Our editor is a huge fan and shows how easy they are to apply in this Wander Baggage Claim Gold Under Eye Patches review.

Editor quote: "Wander Beauty's Baggage Claim Eye Masks are the only ones I've tried that don't slip down my cheeks. They stay put until I decide to take them off, even when I'm talking. The eye patches are unique compared to others on the market because they have a three-layer construction that helps prevent serum evaporation and also limit the eye masks from slipping off your face, ensuring proper absorption of the skin-care ingredients." — AR, assistant editor, Commerce

Best Lip and Cheek Stain
PS Photography | Renee Rodriguez

Best Lip and Cheek Stain

Benefit Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain Travel Size ($26)

For rosy cheeks and lips, this travel-friendly sized stain is a must. It's kiss and smudge-proof and adds the perfect pop of pink for a natural-looking flush. Our editor loves to use this on her lips, cheeks and even eyes and says that "a little goes a long way." Read more details about how she uses it in this Benefit Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain review.

Editor quote: "At $18, this product might seem a bit pricey for its small size. However, I've learned a little goes a long way, and this tiny bottle actually lasts me months — even though I use it all over my face. Plus, I love products that allow me to pack light, and since I can use this one in three different ways, it means I can leave my eyeshadow, blush, and lip stain at home." — RR

Best Hair Treatment

Best Hair Treatment

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray ($28)

There's a reason why celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton swears by this product for his A-list clients like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Ariana Grande. As he told PS in a previous interview: "Whether I'm prepping hair for a certain look and want to have the glossiest, shiniest foundation, or I want a frizz-fighter that I know will withstand even the craziest humidity, I'm reaching for Dream Coat every time." It's also earned rave reviews from editors, including one of our own, who found it kept her hair smooth even after bravely taking a fresh blowout into the humidity. Learn more by checking out our Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray review.

Editor quote: "I initially tried the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray while getting ready for an outdoor graduation party, and it had just rained. Luckily for me, my hair stayed sleek and smooth the whole night. In fact, my hair pretty much looked like I had just styled it. However, I wanted to put this to the ultimate test, handling the humidity and the heat of Miami, and it passed with flying colors." — AR

Best Hair Oil
PS Photography | Angela Elias

Best Hair Oil

Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil ($30)

This bonding oil delivers heat protection, while taming frizz, boosting shine, and strengthening hair. Best of all, it's lightweight and doesn't feel the least bit greasy. Our editor couldn't believe how soft her hair felt after using it. For more details and photos, read our Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil review.

Editor quote: "After I apply this oil, my hair immediately absorbs it. I can layer on as much as I need to without worrying about it weighing down my layers. I love that I can add it to my hair when it's damp for heat protection and then work it through the ends and the layers around my face once it's dry. The buildable formula is easy to use without worrying about overdoing it, so I usually apply a little every day in between washes. I'm still surprised by how soft my curls feel after applying it." — AE

Best Hair Mask

Best Hair Mask

Olaplex Bond Intense Moisture Mask ($30)

Even dry and damaged hair can be revived with this moisturizing hair mask that smooths and infuses shine back into strands. Apply it to clean, damp hair, work it through with your fingers, and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing out. Our former editor said it was a "game changer" for her dry, brittle hair. Read about her experience in this Olaplex Bond Intense Moisture Mask review.

Editor quote: "Using this mask regularly has already immensely helped my hair, and I love the results I'm seeing. I also use the No. 0 and No. 3 once a week with the mask, and this is where I've really seen a difference. Not only is my hair softer, but it also looks so much healthier." — Lauren Harano, contrbuting editor, Commerce

Best Whitestrips

Best Whitestrips

Crest 3D Whitestrips ($30, originally $46)

One of our editors tried the Crest Whitestrips before her wedding and noticed a difference in just days (perfect if you're a procrastinator like she admits she is). They cost a fraction of what a professional whitening treatment does and require minimal effort, too. See the before and after results of the whitening strips and read more about her experience in our Crest 3D Whitestrips review.

Editor quote: "The box boldly claimed they could 'remove over 15 years of stains in three days,' which initially made me a bit skeptical. However, the results speak for themselves. After just four treatments, the difference is already remarkable." — MP

Best Bikini and Body Scrub
PS Photography | Jessica Harrington

Best Bikini and Body Scrub

Beia Bikini & Body Scrub ($38)

This scrub helps to prevent ingrown hairs and relieve dry skin. Its blend of rice pumice, glycolic acid, and green tea simultaneously hydrates and exfoliates the skin and is gentle enough to be used in the bikini area, under arms, and everywhere, really. Our editor tested it out and gushed about the texture and results in this Beia Bikini & Body Scrub review.

Editor quote: "This scrub by Beia helps to prevent ingrown hairs before they form by removing dead skin cells that can otherwise clog the hair follicles. This leaves me feeling smooth and allows me to get a closer shave." — JH

Best Bronzing Drops
PS Photography | Jessica Harrington

Best Bronzing Drops

The Impossible Glow Organic Hyaluronic Acid + Sea Kelp Bronzing Drops ($39)

Add a sun-kissed look to your complexion, minus the free radicals with this nourishing bronzer. Hyaluronic acid and sea kelp provide plenty of hydration while lemon fruit water introduces a boost of vitamin C. Our editor raves about the post-vacation glow it gives her in this The Impossible Glow Organic Hyaluronic Acid + Sea Kelp Bronzing Drops review.

Editor quote: "The drops don't give you any coverage in terms of evening out your skin tone, but if you're looking for something to fake a tan without using a self-tanner, this will do the trick. You can wear this product on its own but I decided to layer some light makeup on top of the bronzing drops — just under-eye concealer, blush, brow gel, and mascara, like I would in the summer or while on vacation — and it layered like a dream. After it's blended it doesn't feel like you have anything on your skin, which is a major bonus in my book." — JH

Best Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush
PS Photography | Renee Rodriguez

Best Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush

Revlon One Step Volumizer PLUS 2.0 Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush ($40, originally $70)

Looking to give yourself a salon-level blowout at home? This tool combines the function of a hair dryer and a hot air brush in one at a price that really can't be beat. It's Amazon's bestseller in the hot air hairbrush category, and with over 22,000 reviews and an average rating of four and a half stars, it's clearly popular. Our editor put it to the test and confirms that it lives up to the hype in this Revlon One Step Volumizer PLUS 2.0 Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush review.

Editor quote: "The biggest difference I noticed between this brush and others I've used in the past is how well my hairstyle stayed put. Although I think I've pretty much mastered the '90s blowout, I've often found that the look can fall throughout the day if I don't use a ton of hairspray or texture spray. I didn't use either after the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer, and my flipped-in ends lasted even after a night of sleeping on them." — RR

Best Mineral Sunscreen
PS Photography | Jessica Harrington

Best Mineral Sunscreen

Kosas DreamBeam Mineral Sunscreen ($40)

For a mineral sunscreen with SPF 40 protection that also doubles as a fantastic base for makeup, you'll want to give this one a try. Formulated with ceramides and peptides, it also nourishes and plumps skin to help smooth fine lines. It's free of fragrance, silicone, mineral oil, parabens, and phthalates, so you don't have to worry about potentially harmful ingredients that often creep into sunscreen formulas. Our editor tested it out and wrote all about her experience in this Kosas DreamBeam Mineral Sunscreen review.

Editor quote: "I've tried countless face sunscreen formulas over the years, but the ones that make it into my skin-care routine long-term have to feel good on my skin (not greasy or heavy) and layer well under makeup. We've all probably found an SPF that we love, only to find that it pills the second you try to apply concealer or foundation on top of it. Kosas is a makeup brand first and foremost, so DreamBeam needed to play well with other products." — JH

Best Foundation

Best Foundation

Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation with SPF 25 Protection ($42)

If you're looking for a foundation with a clean formula and medium coverage, this foundation is popular for good reason. Made with a blend of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptides, squalane, vitamin B5, arnica, and caffeine, it goes beyond coverage to nourish and protect your skin. Our editor can't get enough of it and says it's "luminous skin in a bottle". Read about how she found the perfect shade for her skin tone in this Kosas Revealer Skin-Improving Foundation review.

Editor quote: "Overall, this foundation exceeded my expectations. The way it covered my blemishes while still feeling lightweight on my face and lending my skin the prettiest, most luminous finish should be a model for every foundation launch in the future." — AB

Best Hair Dryer
PS Photography | Renee Rodriguez

Best Hair Dryer

T3 AireLuxe Digital Ionic Professional Hair Dryer ($200)

Looking for an efficient hair dryer that will dry your hair in half the time of a traditional hair dryer? You have to try this model. It's lightweight and easy to hold, has multiple heat and speed settings, and works wonders for giving hair a boost of volume and plenty of shine. Our editor was curious to see if it was worth the hype, and after testing it at home, she was amazed by how quickly she could give herself a blow out. For more details and photos, read her T3 AireLuxe Digital Ionic Professional Hair Dryer review.

Editor quote: "After using the Aireluxe just once, I knew I had found a winner. It dried my hair quickly (it genuinely cut my typical drying time in half), and it absolutely minimized the amount of frizz I'm used to seeing after blow-drying my hair. Plus, it left my hair softer and shinier than it's ever been after using a hot tool." — RR

Best Facial Toning Device

Best Facial Toning Device

NuFACE Trinity+ Starter Kit ($395)

If you're looking for a noninvasive way to combat wrinkles while also improving facial contouring, this handheld toning device aims to deliver professional results from the comfort of your home. Our editor noticed the results in minutes and wrote about her experience in this review of the NuFACE Trinity Starter Kit. This NuFACE Trinity+ Starter Kit comes with the facial toning device, Aqua Gel Activator, Silk Crème Activator, and an application brush.

Editor quote: "Starting with the jawline, I went over each section three times. Like promised, I noticed the results in minutes. The right side of my face looked much more sculpted than the left, and even my laugh lines were less pronounced. I didn't even realize that there was such a large difference on my forehead until I saw in the below picture that my eyebrows looked like they were sitting on two completely different levels of my face." — AB
