From lips to locks and potions for pimples, here are my favorite ten cosmetic products that will change your life from head to toe.

Maybelline Great Lash Washable Mascara– For years, this must-have mascara has been the secret weapon of many makeup artists thanks to its blackest black formula and signature wand. It consistently wins awards for its supremely simple yet effective capabilities.

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector– For a dewy, moisture-rich complexion, dab this lotion around your eyes or combine it with your moisturizer for luminous, radiant skin. The added bonus? It’s doubles as a sun block thanks to an SPF of 20.

Egyptian Magic – Celebs swear by this miracle ointment and one person was quoted as claiming “it does everything but your taxes.” For stretch marks, scars, flyaway hairs, rashes, burns, and a litany of maladies, this all-purpose salve is, truly, magical.

Phyto 9 – Enriched with plant extract and botanicals, this hair moisturizer cures split ends and damaged tresses. Apply just a dime-size amount into damp hair working it into the ends and in weeks, your locks will go from fried to fabulous.

Benefit Benetint– The ruby red cheek and lip stain from the beloved local cosmetic company has been one of their best-sellers since the day it launched. Use moderately on cheeks for a rosy glow or on lips paired with clear gloss for kiss-proof color.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple– In an effort to find a light facial cleanser for sensitive skin, I discovered Purity which contains chamomile known to be a secret ingredient in many all-natural skin moisturizers. Last year it won the Best of Sephora award due to the cult following behind the brand.

Wallett Plumping Lip Gloss – The local makeup artist uses marine collagen in her signature line of glosses to stimulate the collagen in your lips without a stinging sensation. My favorite shade is Malibu which glows on its own or adds a finishing touch to Benetint.

Crest Whitestrips Pro Effects– If you can’t afford custom trays from your dentist for teeth bleaching, these maximum strength whitening strips are ideal for the girl on the go and as I can attest, work just as well. Put one on top and bottom for a quick five minutes and voila, your pearly whites will be sparkling stain-free in days.

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion– The famous New York City dermatologist has been selling out of his calamine-based acne drying lotion that cures whiteheads overnight. Simply dip a q-tip in, dab it on your blemish, go to sleep, and when you awake in the morning your unwelcomed visitor is adios amigo.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub– A.k.a the facial in a tube. Save yourself the $100+ facial and spend less than $5 on this exfoliating formula to rejuvenate skin cells and reduce fine lines. Consider it a do-it-yourself mini microdermabrasion.

Remember – real beauty comes from within. After all, you’re more than just a pretty face.
