It definitely wasn't Kim Kardashian — the skincare brand Farsáli made ugly-crying chic. If you follow makeup at all (or have an Instagram account), you've probably seen people dab drops of Unicorn Essence ($54) underneath their eyes to mimic teardrops. The oily serum is beloved for giving a velvety-soft texture that smooths the look of any makeup you layer over it, which results in a more natural, effortless coverage.

We love Unicorn Essence, but don't think that sole product's rampant popularity and tendency to sell out makes Farsáli a one-hit wonder. Founded by Sal Ali, a husband who wanted to give his wife more beautiful products (and I can't even get a text back . . . ), the skincare label contains a trio of other amazing offerings.

Volcanic Elixir

Volcanic Elixir

If you suffer from hyperpigmentation, dark spots, or acne scarring, please allow us to introduce you to your new best friend. Volcanic Elixir ($39) is an overnight treatment made from nut extracts of the tamanu fruit from Polynesia. Though it, quite frankly, stinks, more refined noses might appreciate its mineral-y scent, and once you see how it revives your complexion after a few weeks, you'll want to bathe in it.

Rose Gold Elixir

Rose Gold Elixir

Yes, there are actual flecks of gold in this Rose Gold Elixir ($54), which can work both as a before-bed moisturizer or morning makeup primer. But it's not just a pretty serum — this thick formula is packed with rosehip oil to fight against inflammation, vitamins C and A to dull fine lines, and fatty acids to plump cheeks.

Jelly Beam Illuminator

Jelly Beam Illuminator

Jelly: not just for questionable shots anymore. Along with Almay, who dropped its own jiggly luminizer last year, Farsáli sells a Jelly Beam Illuminator ($40). We love using it as a body highlighter across places like our collarbones, legs, and shoulders. It gives that perfect "don't mind me, I'm just cute and sparkling" effect usually reserved for flare-highlighting influencers and vampires out in the sunlight.
