After years of endorsing products for my professional work, I have amassed enough gear to last three lifetimes. Sometimes, I come across exceptional items, but I don’t have a proper platform to share my thoughts. Last year, I began receiving beauty boxes for our purchasing guide, and there were several standout products among the multitude I tested for that guide (and others) that deserved recognition. Therefore, here we are! These selections are noteworthy for their innovation, versatility, or simply their quality.
Don’t forget to explore our related guides, which include the Top Dry Shampoos, the Top Hair Masks, and the Top Heat Protectant Sprays.

About My Journey and Criteria for This Guide
Beauty products were essentially my initial introduction to the world of gear over twenty years ago. Since my first babysitting job, I have been researching and buying beauty products. I continuously experiment with new items and adjust my go-to makeup and skincare routines. I’ve explored trends, fads, and classic beauty products that have stood the test of time. Everything included in this guide performs exceptionally and is suitable for anyone, regardless of their expertise, beauty regimen, or skin tone.
