1. Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream

We gravitate to Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream like a moth does to a flame. Seriously, it makes our skin feel as smooth as glass. Buyers have also noticed the reduced appearance of dark spots and a firmer, smoother texture after using it, thanks to its amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecule-packed formula. And we can't stress enough how infrequently this stuff goes on sale, so if there's any product you want to buy during the sale, you're looking at it.

2. La Mer The Eye Concentrate

La Mer is another brand that only goes on sale a few times a year at best, which is why we highly suggest adding its best-selling eye cream to your cart. Each batch containing ingredients like algae seaweed extract, eucalyptus globulus leaf oil and more takes three months to ferment for optimal results from improving hyperpigmentation to awakening tired eyes.

3. Dr. Barbara Sturm Super Anti-Aging Face Cream

If your brow raised at the price of this face cream, listen up: This jar is packed with hyaluronic acid, plankton biopolymers, purslane and meadow knotweed extract, which is supposed to visibly reduce signs of aging and irritation, leaving skin with a fresh, radiant glow for days. The results should also kick in pretty quickly, but you'll just have to see for yourself.

4. R+co Bleu Essential Hair Tonic

The purpose of this hair tonic is to add flexibility and shine to strands while providing a slight hold for any style, thanks to its BLEU molecule complex, vegetable amino acids and proteins and vegan keratin formula. One reviewer on Amazon also notes, "This R+Co Tonic is actually more of a texturizing or setting spray...I noticed my hair [was] less tacky throughout the day, and the effect of the tonic actually improved by day two—[I] still [had] texture and volume, but a more relaxed feel."

5. Nécessaire The Body Wash

Your shower and bath will transform into a spa with this silky eucalyptus-scented body wash. Better yet, it's formulated with a pH between 5.5–6.5 to not interfere with your skin's natural PH. Plus, a little goes a long way since it massages on like foam to clean from head to toe.

6. Tatcha The Kissu Lip Mask

If you like the Laneige lip mask, one reviewer on Sephora says you may like this one more because it's less sticky (shout out to its Japanese peach extract, olive-derived squalane, Japanese camellia oil and omega ingredients). Another Sephora reviewer adds, "It goes on nice and smooth not too sticky not too greasy...My lips were so nice and smooth. They even looked a little plumper."

7. Crave Vesper Vibrator

PureWow's Assistant Sales and Deals Editor, Destinee Scott, is a fan of this wearable vibrator, which doubles as a necklace. "It's definitely a conversation starter because it's not your typical 'necklace,' and it shows, but the real fun begins when you take it off and use the four speeds and two modes for up to 40 minutes," Scott explains. Most importantly, it won't randomly go off and is USB-rechargeable. P.S. The vibrator is 3.8" long and 0.5" wide, so it's way slimmer than most toys, and it's made of high-polish stainless steel with silver, nickel-free plating to clean with ease.

"[It] cleanses easily! [It] doesn't strip your skin but still leaves it feeling clean, and doesn't burn when removing eye makeup," one reviewer raves. It's ideal for all skin types, and you can add water to give it a milky consistency if you want.

10. Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Mask

Soothing stressed skin is only one benefit of using this clay face mask. Apparently, it also hydrates, softens and detoxifies, leaving skin refreshed after one use. Take it from this one Sephora reviewer: "I love this mask. It is pricey, but if you’re consistent with it ([applying it] two to three times a week), it’s worth it. I’ve seen my skin transform [with] smaller pores [and] clearer skin in general." They have the genius aloe vera, chamomile, purslane and kaolin blend to thank for that.

11. 111skin Exfolactic Cleanser

This exfoliating wash does more than cleanse the face; it uses alpha hydroxy acids and antioxidants to help calm breakouts and irritation, leaving skin brighter. One reviewer on Nordstrom is obsessed: "It is a very underrated, extremely effective exfoliator. Yes, there are cheaper ones on the market, but if you have sensitive skin and are looking for an acne-clearing solution, this should be at the top of your list."

One Dermstore reviewer also shares, "I love that it helps drain the lymph nodes and any excess fluid held beneath the skin and under the eyes. It’s super relaxing and a simple self-care exercise that is also very pampering."

I use [it] every day and am now hooked!"

Violet Grey BF Sale 2022 Blush Tint

20. Surratt Beauty Artistique Liquid Blush

If you're not a fan of liquid blushes, this one may change your mind since it has a sponge applicator to stamp on for a significantly less messy application. This also means it's buildable (you can twist the bottom for more color). Then blend it in with your fingers, sponge or brush.

This is about the most beautiful comb we've ever seen.
