When I meet a successful woman, I always ask them what beauty products they swear by, and I’m never surprised anymore. Everybody uses the same products, and it’s not just because they actually work, it’s because they have serious cool factor.
Who doesn’t want pretty products lined up on their shelves? Thanks to two years of Career Girl Daily, I now know what those coolest, must-have beauty products are that actually, seriously, work. You’ve seen them around and probably wondered whether they’re worth the hype – trust us, they are.
1. Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid
This color corrector will cover up all the things your foundation isn’t doing. It’s great for covering up veins, spots, blemishes and pigmentation. I use the pink-toned corrector to completely cover up my eye bags in the morning (or after late Friday night drinks!) and I couldn’t recommend it more. You’ll definitely be proud to add this to your makeup bag. Buy it here.
2. Herbivore Botanicals Rose Hibiscus Coconut Water
How pretty would this glass bottle look in your bathroom or on a bedside table? There’s a reason this has been pinned thousands of times on Pinterest, it looks as good as it smells, and it works even better than that. This hydrating mist is infused with coconut water, hibiscus flower and other natural plant extracts so whenever you need to freshen up your skin it’ll give you an instant dewy glow. Top of my wishlist at the moment! Buy it here.
3. Stila Eyes Are The Window Palette
This is the most coveted eyeshadow palette ever, featuring 12 pigmented shades in colors for every season. From frosted golds to deep matte red, this is the perfect palette to create a variety of looks, whether you’re trying to create a dramatic look or just want something soft and romantic. Find out why so many people are obsessed with it here.
4. Sunday Riley Juno
Juno is the perfect superfood serum for younger skin. It’s anti-aging but specifically focuses on dryness and fine lines, plus it looks so pretty! The Sunday Riley range really really works and is worth every single cent you spend on it, so I’m sorry for making you want their products as much as I do. Juno is on the tip top of my list of things to buy right now, it promises glowing, protected, smooth, soft, hydrated skin. And judging by the reviews, it’s not exaggerating! Buy it here.
5. The Body Shop Instaglow
One of the most pinned products on Pinterest is The Body Shop Instaglow CC Cream. I’ve used this for a while now and seriously, I get why people love it. It primes, smooths, color corrects, illuminates and moisturizes for 24 hours. Which is pretty magnificent, and something I definitely need in this cold, dark, weather. Seriously perfect for Instagram photos, too. Buy it here.
6. Pixi Glow Tonic
Heralded as ‘the best toner ever’, Pixi Glow Tonic is an unassuming bottle of serious goodness. This is the only toner I’ve tried with before and after photos that actually prove it works to fight blemishes and improve skin tone. Buy it here.
7. Laura Mercier Face Illumination Powder
Every so often you need a little dash of highlighter to give your skin a healthy glow and make you look hydrated and healthy. A dab or two of Laura Mercier’s Illumination powder on your cheeks, nose, and cupid’s bow will give you that subtle shimmer.
I bought this mostly because of how it looks but I’m seriously in love with it, the subtle pinky glow is perfect for the office and buildable for a night out. It makes your skin look healthy and your contour look sharp! Buy it here.
8. Oskia Super 16 Serum
I’ve talked about this serum before and given it some seriously high praise. It’s so good. I sometimes use it instead of foundation, because it smoothes skin tone, boosts collagen and helps to promote healthy, supple skin. If you want a serum that works hard to improve your complexion, try this one. Buy it here.
9. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream is another product I actually own and recommend to everyone I know. If I don’t use this cream every night I see a difference. My skin is duller and dryer when I don’t use it and more prone to breakouts. I don’t know what else to say, it’s the best cream I’ve ever tried. I don’t know what kind of witchcraft was used to create this moisturizer but I guess that’s why they call it magic cream. Buy it here.
10. Youth To The People Kale + Spinach + Green Tea Cleanser
This is the cleanser you need to try right now. It’s getting some serious hype around it, thanks to the all-natural ingredients. It contains alfalfa, kale, spinach and green tea to protect against pollution and redness. It’s seriously gentle, non-drying and melts makeup away. Use this daily for the quickest way to healthier skin we’ve ever seen! Buy it here.
