Abby's Favorite:
The Item: SheaMoisture Silicone Free Miracle Styler Leave-In Treatment
The Cost: $8.99
From: Target Beauty Box
Why I love it: I've been using this cream on damp hair after every wash, and I love the softening, smoothing effect it has on my flat hair. It is great for detangling, too, and makes my hair smell amazing! SheaMoisture products are also sulfate, phthalate and cruelty-free which checks all of the boxes for me.

Ragan's Favorite:
The Item: Gleam Lip Radiance by Melanie Mills in “Uncontrollable”
The Cost: $24
From: Vegan Cuts Beauty
Why I love it: This is a fun color, but also just a really good lip product in general. It goes on smoothly, it doesn't transfer like crazy (only a little), and it is moisturizing -- it is comfortable to wear all day.

Jessica's Favorite:
The Item: LORAC Light Source 3-in-1 Illuminating Primer in Dusk
The Cost: $35 for the full-size
From: Ulta The Glow Up Kit
Why I love it: I was genuinely surprised by how much I loved this- using it as primer underneath light coverage foundation really made my skin have a natural glow that looked amazing. In a pinch, this can be used as a highlighter or mixed in with your foundation, too. There are a lot of similar products like this so I don’t *need* to buy the full-size version, but boy do I want to!

Why I love it: I am a retinoid QUEEN. This Sunday Riley serum is the perfect dose right before bedtime. I like to use t underneath a heavy duty night cream and sleep those fine lines away.

The Cost: $3.00

Haley's Favorite:
The Item: DR. JART+ Cicapair ™ Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30
The Cost: Buy a 1.7 full size for $52
From: Play! by Sephora
Why I love it: This is a fantastic color corrector – I’m so happy to have another sample! This moisturizer turns from green to skin color in a way that doesn’t show at all and totally cancels out any redness. Over this past year, I have noticed some issues with redness in my complexion and this moisturizer makes the perfect primer to prep for makeup. It’s a very thick moisturizer, but it works well on my dry skin after it sets and my skin absorbs it. Plus - yay for SPF 30! This is a product I plan to purchase full-size.
