Each pair of earrings even comes with an extra set of backs if you’re someone who’s always losing them.
27A Body Lotion That Smooths Skin With Retinol
After sunscreen, retinol might just be the most dermatologist-beloved ingredient out there.

Like its name suggests, this post-shave oil smells like a sweet treat, thanks to its vanilla buttercream fragrance. But it’s really a standout for its ability to restore moisture to freshly shaved skin and prevent ingrowns and irritation from popping up.

These oil-absorbing sheets use abaca leaf, a plant that Japanese geisha originally repurposed to get rid of grease without disturbing their makeup or drying out their skin. Each paper also has visible flecks of 23-karat gold leaf scattered throughout, for a luxe feel that the brand credits with imparting a soft glow.
32Pure Silk Pillowcases For Healthier Hair (& Skin)
Sleeping on a silk pillowcase, like this one, definitely feels bougie. But it serves a practical purpose, too, as the buttery-soft material reduces friction to help prevent frizz and split ends from messing with your blowout while you sleep. That reduced friction is also better for your skin. Plus, silk absorbs less moisture, meaning your serum and moisturizer will actually stay on your skin. These pillowcases come in every pillow size and color you could ever want, and they can be thrown in your washing machine (in a laundry bag on the delicate cycle, ideally).

If you have a UV or LED light for at-home gel manicures, you can up your nail game with this two-piece cat eye kit.

There’s no pricey application appointment involved with these wispy lashes, but there’s also no commitment or upkeep, as they can be removed at the end of the night. These extension-like falsies create more convincing drama, thanks to the individual clusters, which blend better with your natural lashes than a full strip lash. They also give you more control over the finished look since they can be arranged however you please, but the set featured here comes lined up to guide you in creating a “fox eye” effect.
36A Versatile Scarf For Accessorizing With Elegance
This bandana-style silk scarf is a great dupe for designer options that would set you back hundreds of dollars.

The scarf also looks great worn over your head, bandana-style, or tied around your ponytail.
37A Pro-Loved Brush That Smooths Through Tangles & Leaves Hair Shiny
Boar bristle brushes have long held a spot in hairstylists’ kits for their ability to gently detangle strands and disperse the scalp’s natural oils from root to tip. But they’ll also typically set you back $75 or more. This more affordable take on the luxury hairbrush combines natural boar bristles with synthetic nylon pins to massage the scalp as it effortlessly glides through hair. Because of its superior smoothing ability, the brush works well for creating slicked-back updos — just be sure you’re not using it on soaking wet hair.
38A Multipurpose Rose Balm Made With Natural, Organic Ingredients
The rose scent of this balm comes courtesy of Bulgarian rose petals that are handpicked at dawn and steamed to extract the essential oil (how’s that for bougie?). But it serves a practical purpose, too, as rose oil delivers skin-softening moisture while also helping to soothe redness. In addition to the rose oil, the balm includes eight other certified-organic ingredients that make it a suitable moisturizer for the face, lips, hands, feet, and other dry patches of skin.
39A Roll-On Cuticle Oil From A Salon-Trusted Brand
As much as we all know we should be using cuticle oil every day to strengthen our nails and prevent hangnails, actually applying it is another story. If messy brush-on formulas and a greasy finish have been your primary excuses in the past, perhaps this roll-on cuticle oil will change your mind. The rollerball applicator eliminates any risk of spilling or dripping, and the apricot- and jojoba oil-rich formula absorbs quickly.
40A Waist Chain To Make Poolside Lounging More Glam
Sure, lounging by the pool with a spritz in hand is glamorous enough on its own, but if you want to dress on theme, too, consider this waist chain.

41A 5-Minute Mask That Leaves Hair Glossy For Days
Inspired by an in-salon gloss, this at-home hair mask delivers noticeable shine in just five minutes. Glycolic acid helps to smooth the hair cuticle for a glossy finish that’s meant to last up to five days (even through shampooing and styling). The mask is safe for color-treated hair, but anyone looking for a little extra shine can benefit from the rinse-out treatment.
42An Embellished Collar That Elevates Any Sweater
Wearing a collared shirt under your sweater creates a more polished finish, but this embellished half collar adds a little something extra to your look. The collar’s mix of faux pearls and rhinestones replaces the need for accessorizing with a necklace, while the half collar design gives the illusion of a full button-up shirt without creating a bulky silhouette.
43Makeup Remover-Infused Cotton Swabs To Touch Up Mistakes
Whether you overlined your lips just a tad too much or it’s one of those days when your liquid liner isn’t playing nicely, makeup mistakes happen. These cotton swabs have a makeup removing solution built right in, so you can wipe away your mistakes without having to wash your face and start from square one. Each travel-friendly pack comes with 24 individual cotton swabs that won’t end up spilling in your purse (the makeup remover is only released once the blue line is snapped).
44Collagen Gummies That Support Healthy Skin & Hair
Our bodies start producing less collagen as early as our 20s, and given how important the protein is for our skin, muscles, bones, and connective tissue, a collagen supplement might be worth taking. These daily collagen gummies pair two types of collagen peptides with biotin, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E to boost collagen production and support skin and hair elasticity. Two peach-flavored gummies per day are recommended to start seeing any potential results after about a month, but you should check with your doctor before you add the gummies (or any supplement) to your routine to ensure they don’t interfere with any prescription medications you might be taking.
45Sparkly Statement Earrings That Make Any Look More Fun
These bow-shaped earrings are still dainty, but dangling tassels and cubic zirconia stones make them a standout accessory that’s sure to earn you compliments. Despite the dangly style, multiple Amazon reviewers assure they don’t feel heavy or pull at your earlobes, and the sparkly design lends itself especially well to formal looks and holiday parties.
46A Lightweight Serum Concealer That Gives The Most Gorgeous Coverage
Skin care/makeup hybrids are usually heavy on the skin care ingredients but minimal when it comes to color coverage. Not so with this serum concealer, which provides medium coverage that camouflages redness and discoloration and stays in place for up to 18 hours. The sensitive skin-friendly concealer doesn’t skimp on the skin care benefits either, thanks to moisturizing and soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica, and green tea leaf extract.
47A Nourishing Face Mask Infused With 24-Karat Gold
No at-home spa day is complete without a face mask. This gold face mask may be as bougie as it gets, as it’s actually infused with 24-karat gold extract to help brighten and soothe. The 10-minute mask is also a quick way to plump up dehydrated skin, thanks to ingredients like hydrolyzed collagen, squalane, and honey extract.
48Nail Gems For Ultra-Glam DIY Manicures
Technically, you can use this rhinestone kit for any kind of arts and crafts project you can dream up, but the flatback stones were packaged with manicures and makeup in mind. You’ll need a separate glue to secure the rhinestones in place, but each kit comes with more than 7,000 stones in six different sizes to customize your look. Plus, you can choose from more than two dozen rhinestone colors.
49Dry Shampoo That Basically Doubles As Perfume
This dry shampoo is already a winner when it comes to efficacy, as it absorbs excess oil with rice starch and aluminum starch without totally zapping your hair of moisture (that’s because it also includes rice extract and panthenol). But the real star of the show is the Melrose Place fragrance, which freshens up stale hair with its blend of rose, freesia, bergamot, and lychee.
50A Conditioning Mascara Primer That Bulks Up Your Lashes
Don’t let the bright white color of this mascara primer put you off! Once you layer your go-to black mascara over top, it becomes completely camouflaged. It also serves as a lengthening and thickening base that works right away to boost lashes and supports growth over time thanks to nourishing ingredients like panthenol and vitamin E.
51The Viral Korean Lip Mask That Has Celebs Obsessed
Products recommended by the rich and famous typically come with the hefty price tag to match. At less than $25, this lip mask comes in at a more accessible price point, but there’s no shortage of celebrities who swear by it. From Kate Hudson to Kate Moss, the viral lip mask was also named by model Bella Hadid as a beauty staple she carries in her bag. Ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and murumuru seed butter make it nourishing enough to smooth out your lips overnight, but the mask makes for a solid gloss during the daytime, too. It also comes in plenty of yummy scents.
52A Microfiber Makeup Sponge For An Airbrushed-Like Finish
For a seamless makeup finish that doesn’t require any extra effort, swap out your usual brush for a sponge. This makeup sponge uses an ultra-soft microfiber material that feels like velvet against the skin, but also serves a practical purpose, as it ensures that less of your product is absorbed by the sponge. It also features a unique design, with a flat side and precision tip that make it easier to apply concealer or powder around smaller areas, like the under eyes and nose.
53A Fun Rhinestone Bag That Adds A Glamorous Pop To Any Outfit
The sparkle that this rhinestone-embellished bag provides makes it a no-brainer for formal events like weddings and proms. But the slouchy style and knotted straps make it just as suitable for more casual occasions, like concerts or an al fresco dinner during your next beach vacay. Multiple Amazon reviewers confirm that it’s roomy enough to hold all of the essentials, and the bag comes in several different rhinestone colors.
54A $10 Kit That Gives You Glazed Nails At Home
You’ll need a UV or LED light for this one, but if you’ve already mastered the at-home gel manicure, this chrome kit lets you tackle another trend. For less than $15, you’ll get 16 chrome powder shades that can be used to create more of a sheer, glazed effect or a statement-making color. The powder works on natural and acrylic nails, and Amazon reviewers confirm that each set comes with your applicators (though any sponge-tip eyeshadow applicator will do the job).
55A Deep Conditioning Mask That Comes Backed By Kim K’s Hair Stylist
You know that glossy shine your hair has after you leave the salon? You can get that same look (and soft feel!) with this at-home hair mask, which comes endorsed by Chris Appleton, Kim Kardashian’s hair stylist (who collaborated with COLOW WOW in making this mask). The weekly treatment works in as little as five minutes by moisturizing dry, color-treated strands with blue sea kale, algae extract, and a hydrolyzed vegetable protein complex. In addition to its Mediterranean-derived ingredients, the gel-like mask has a fresh, beachy fragrance.
