It would shock you how many harmful ingredients are often found in skincare products. This product from Sunday Riley, however, is free of all those nasty and unnecessary ingredients but does just as well (if not better) than other competing products.
This product can be used as a leave-on treatment or as a mask for those with sensitive skin. Almost seeming too good to be true (but it is), this product simultaneously exfoliates, hydrates, soothes and brightens the skin all at once. Warning: after using this once, you will get hooked!

Love him or hate him, it is impossible to deny how amazing Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipsticks are. With an incredible selection of shades black to white (literally), there is a liquid lipstick color for every occasion.
Unlike other liquid lipsticks, the Velour Liquid Lipsticks stay put and don’t get crunchy throughout the day. Most liquid lipsticks will dry out your lips within the hour, but that isn’t an issue with these. All Jeffree’s liquid lipsticks are eye-safe too, doubling as a fun eyeliner that you can’t find anywhere else.
