The Beauty Awards

THE BLEMISH BANISHER

THE BEAUTY BREAKDOWN A hydrocolloid patch that safeguards skin *and* treats your pimple at the same time? It's the zit sticker you've been waiting for. Just place one on a ready-to-pop spot to soothe and shrink acne ASAP.

WHY WE LOVE IT Avaralle Gunk Out Patches are enhanced with blemish-busting tea tree and soothing cica. Plus, the extra-thick design means maximum adhesion + absorption of your peskiest pimples. Clearer skin, coming right up.

Avarelle Gunk Out Patch, $15, avarelle.com

THE SMOOTH SKIN SAVER 

THE BEAUTY BREAKDOWN Shaving can be a drag...literally. To help your razor glide gently on skin (buh-bye cuts and nicks), apply Brazilian Bare's Juicy Blueberry Exfoliating Shave Syrup to exfoliate while you remove hair.

WHY WE LOVE IT This fruity-fresh gel contains vitamin A and E microspheres that eliminate irritation, slough away dead skin cells and protect against razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Just a quarter-sized drop does the job, so you can say hello to oh-so-soft skin.

Brazilian Bare Juicy Blueberry Exfoliating Shave Syrup, $13, brazilianbare.com

THE LUXE LASHES 

THE BEAUTY BREAKDOWN Elevate everyday looks or go for all-out glam with this fab pair of falsies. This set seriously plays up the plush factor, so you can bring the perfect dose of drama to your Friday night fit.

WHY WE LOVE IT I-Envy Mink Impact Lashes are made from 100% vegan mink (*so* here for cruelty-free). The result? A voluminous, 3D effect. Your fave mascara could never.

I-Envy Mink Impact Lashes #01, $4, ivyusa.com
