YSL Beauty Loveshine Lip Oil Stick in Wet Guava

If there were report cards for lip products, YSL Beauty’s Loveshine Lip Oil Stick in Wet Guava would be bringing home straight As. Peachy-pink color, mirror shine, and an oil-infused formula make it equal parts makeup and lip care.

First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA Fresh Strawberry

With 10% alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), skin-smoothing exfoliants (glycolic and lactic), pumice beads, and a sweet strawberry scent, this scrub leaves rough, bumpy skin feeling softer and smoother. We love it because it makes even a quick shower feel like an everything-shower indulgence.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration

Packed with soothing colloidal oatmeal and barrier-supporting ceramides, this moisturizer brings dry, stressed-out skin back to itshappy place. The result is intense hydration, delivered with a surprisingly soft, luxurious-feeling touch.

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist

In Brazil, being “cheirosa” means smelling delicious from sunrise to sundown, and this perfume mist wears the title well. With notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla, it’s warm, sunny, and the kind of scent that helps you live up to its name.

Color Wow Root Cover Up in Dark Blonde, Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown

Missed a color appointment? Color Wow’s Root Cover Up doesn’t judge. This no-mess mineral powder instantly covers grays, fills sparse spots, and blends seamlessly thanks to reflective pigments that create a natural, multi-dimensional finish.

Essie Nail Polish in Ballet Slippers

Seeing Essie’s Ballet Slippers back in the Readers’ Choice Awards feels less like a surprise and more like tradition. Soft, sheer, and endlessly flattering, this iconic pale pink is the manicure equivalent of a little black dress: timeless, effortless, and always right.

Philosophy Purity One-Step Cleanser

A longtime beauty favorite, Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple feels right at home in this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards box. This silky, one-step cleanser melts away makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and daily buildup while leaving skin feeling clean, soft, and never stripped.

The Honest Company Extreme Length Mascara + Lash Primer

The Honest Company’s Extreme Length Mascara + Lash Primer proves clean beauty can still bring the drama. This double-ended duo lifts, lengthens, and defines lashes to gravity-defying heights, with zero clumps or flakes—and no parabens in sight.

Native Body Wash in Coconut & Vanilla

Coconut, vanilla, and a lather so good it almost feels unfair. Thoughtfully formulated with clean ingredients, Native’s Coconut & Vanilla Body Wash brings soft skin and all-day freshness with the kind of scent that makes your bath or shower feel a little more like paradise.

Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Luscious Moisture Conditioner

When hair starts feeling dry, dull, or a little harder to manage, this conditioner knows exactly what to do. A nourishing, shea moisture-rich formula detangles, softens, and boosts shine, meaning fewer snags, snaps, and tugs. Even better, it’s lightweight enough to use every day.

Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Daisy

You know those lip products that you always keep around? Burt’s Bees’ Tinted Lip Balm is that product. The Readers’ Choice Awards collection includes Daisy, a sheer berry tint made with shea butter for up to eight hours of moisture and that your-lips-but-better finish.

Vaseline Healing Jelly in Cocoa Butter

There’s something about cocoa butter that just makes skin care feel a little more indulgent. Vaseline’s Healing Jelly takes that familiar moisture-locking formula and gives it a softer, glowier twist, leaving dry skin comforted, nourished, and anything but dull.
