Despite the fact that Courtney and I basically eat, sleep, breathe, drink, meditate, and talk our faces blue about all things beauty, we still really love it. And, believe it or not, we still really love to shop for it. Or rather, we love to tell our friends, family, and you all what to shop for on our behalf. (Lord help us if we obtain any more beauty products than we're currently already drowning in.)
Scrolling through the best beauty offerings on Nordstrom, Amazon, and Sephora on a daily, sometime thrice-daily, basis is our ultimate pastime, and from Wholesale Replica Bag
and greatest dry shampoos and eye shadows to the hair and face masks that have resurrected us from the almost dead, there's so much to want and shop at our fave beauty retailers.
So, somewhat routinely, we have to product-vomit all of our latest shopping recs in your direction at a rapid-fire pace. (Sorry, not sorry.) Ahead, we're sharing 42 beauty products we would buy right this second from Nordstrom, Amazon, and Sephora and why you need every last one of them in just a sentence or two. (This is shopping efficiency at it's finest, folks.) Keep scrolling!

The Cosmetics Case
My travel beauty setup could use some serious streamlining, so I'm hoping a couple of these cool cases will help.
The facial sunscreen I've been using is great, but it irritates my eyes, so I'm looking for a new one to try. I've heard great things about this Shiseido option.
Mario Badescu
Drying Lotion
I know this old-school spot treatment is controversial, but I keep it in constant supply.

The Body Wash in Sandalwood
Showers are my favorite 15 minutes of the day, so I'll use any excuse to upgrade my products—this natural formula from Nécessaire is a cult favorite and so luxe.
MAC Cosmetics
MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ Finishing Mist
When I was a broke college student, I'd spritz this on my face before any other skincare, and it allowed me to use less product. Still a fan of this method.
Patchology
FlashPatch Rejuvenating 5-Minute Eye Gels
I wear these while vegging on the couch in the evenings, and they are so soothing and make my under-eyes brighter.
Kiehl's
Ultra Facial Cleanser
I always come back to this cleanser for a fail-proof, non-stripping, deep clean—basic but amazing.
Amazon
Baby Foot
Original Foot Peel Exfoliator
I haven't given my feet enough attention lately, so I think it's time for a disgusting and satisfying peel.

Exfoliating Silicone Body Scrubber
I switched over from a natural loofa sponge to this silicone body scrubber last year, and it feels so much more hygienic.

I'm finally ready to get on the Gua Sha train for its de-puffing and glow-enhancing perks, and this one from Odacité is like the Tesla of all Gua Shas.
Thayer's
Alcohol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner with Aloe Vera
My mom has amazing skin, and witch hazel is one of the few products she always had on hand. I like the idea of adopting some of her tried-and-true favorites.

This iconic cream is an affordable way to get ahead of the dry skin winter will undoubtedly bring—even celebrity dermatologists recommend it!

I use an obscene amount of makeup wipes and cotton pads, so I'm hoping these will help reduce my carbon footprint on the beauty front.
Sephora
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
SpotLite Acne Treatment Device
I've been getting one-off pimples in the most conspicuous places for the last couple of weeks. Instead of going in with my usual aggressive remedies and risking a scar right between my eyebrows or in the center of my cheek, I'd like to add light therapy into the mix.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
Hyaluronic Marine Hydrating Modeling Mask
The most satisfying facials I've seen documented on Instagram lately include a molding gel mask, like this one. I'm excited to try this out from the comfort of my own home.

Brand new from GlamGlow, this pot of rose gold not only looks pretty in your bathroom, it also does serious work on tired, dark-circled under-eyes.
Summer Fridays
CC Me Vitamin C Serum

Sunday Riley
ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream
I love a substantial quench from my moisturizer, so I'm big into ceramides and really interested in this new debut from the skin masters at Sunday Riley.
