From skincare that targets dark spots and dryness to makeup that enhances without masking, this is the kind of cart you’ll be glad you filled.

  1. The SEPHORA COLLECTION Blush Blush Blush. Palette is a triple threat: cream, matte and shimmer finishes in one pocket-sized compact. It’s great for layering or wearing solo, and the removable mirror is a nice bonus for touch-ups on the go.

  2. Lightweight and radiant, the Reveal The Real 12HR Skin Tint evens out tone and smooths texture without settling into fine lines. Think of it as your skin, just a little more polished.

  3. Tackling dark spots or dullness? Caudalie’s Vinoperfect Brightening Routine includes a full-size serum and travel-sized cream and eye treatment to help visibly brighten and even your complexion.

  4. For fluttery, lifted lashes without irritation, the ILIA Limitless Lash Mascara delivers clean, buildable length in a brown shade that flatters all skin tones. Bonus: It’s safe for sensitive eyes.

  5. The Sephora Collection Smoothing Cleanser with AHA + BHA gently exfoliates while aloe vera soothes, leaving your skin feeling clean, soft and not the least bit stripped.

  6. Small but mighty, the Mini Micellar Cleansing Water from Sephora Collection takes off makeup in a flash while niacinamide and postbiotics support your skin barrier.

  7. Eye cream that pulls double duty? Yes, please. The Extreme Cream Eye Firming & Contouring formula from iNNBEAUTY PROJECT visibly lifts sagging eyelids and smooths out puffiness in as little as one week.

  8. Looking for color that won’t dry out your lips? VIOLETTE_FR’s BISOU BALM gives you that sheer, just-bitten look with the feel of a nourishing balm.

  9. Nighttime hydration never looked so good. The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask uses Vitamin C and berry extracts to smooth and soften lips while you sleep.

  10. For a flush of color that blends like a dream, the BISOU BLUSH Marbled Cream Stick offers dimension, glow and a built-in blending brush — no tools required.

  11. The Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask uses ultra-low molecular collagen to minimize the look of pores, improve elasticity and deeply hydrate. It gives you spa-like results without leaving your bathroom.

  12. A tinted serum that doubles as skincare? Danessa Myricks’ Yummy Skin Serum Foundation gives you light, glowy coverage while hydrating and supporting your skin barrier with peptides and ceramides.

  13. If hydration is the goal, the Jet Lag Essentials Set by Summer Fridays covers all the bases with a mist, serum, mask and eye patches — perfect for travel or daily use.

  14. When you want fuss-free eyeshadow that lasts, the NARS Total Seduction Eyeshadow Stick glides on smooth and sets to a crease-resistant finish that stays in place for up to 16 hours.
