Best Dark Spot Treatment

Hero Cosmetics Dark Spot Corrector [6] ($19)

"Having a dark spot treatment in your skin-care routine is a must. If you're on the market for a new one, Hero Cosmetics launched a stick with a fun roller-ball applicator. It contains 15 percent vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. I use it in the morning on any hyperpigmentation and post-blemish marks." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

Best Skin-Care Tool

Shark FacialPro Glow At Home [7] ($399)

"If you're looking to splurge on a skin-care tool, let this be your sign. I've used the Shark FacialPro four times now to give myself an at-home facial, and I've never gotten more compliments on my skin. It even comes with a heated and cooling gua sha attachment that I now consider completely non-negotiable in my routine." — Olivia Tauber, contributing assistant beauty editor

Best Lipstick

Refy Satin Liquid Lipstick [8] ($28)

"I have a ridiculous obsession with lip glosses and sticks, and this one from Refy is one I've enjoyed adding to my already large collection. It's made with vitamin E and macadamia oil, so your lips are nourished, in addition to looking good. I'm also a brown lip combo kind of girl, so this shade works perfectly for me." — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

Best Cream Eyeshadow

Merit Solo Shadow Sheen Eyeshadow [9] ($26)

"Merit just released shimmer shades of its beloved Solo Shadow Sheen Eyeshadow pots. The new shades are Surrealism, Glacé, Palladium, Sartorial, Iris, and Matchbook — I think Glacé is my favorite. They're stunning neutrals that are perfect for adding a little something extra to your makeup." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

Best Lip Glaze

King Kylie Supple Kiss Lip Glaze [10] ($21)

"Just in caes you haven't heard, King Kylie is back, and I'm 100 percent here for it. I've been obsessing over her lip glazes in the newest shades, Like and Literally (I mean, the names are everything am I right?), and I've been wearing both nonstop." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and social producer

Best Metallic Eyeshadow

MAC Dazzle Metallic Eye Shadow [11] ($26)

"I've been wearing makeup for a few years, but there's one product I've stayed away from: eyeshadow. I haven't honed in on a technique yet, but MAC's new metallic shadow just made applying it so much easier. Not to mention, you get the most luxe finish from a few dabs. I can't wait to wear it on my next date night." — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

Best Blush

SheGlam Buttery Bliss Blush Stick-PHresh [12] ($6)

"pH-changing products are so fun because the exact shade you get is uniquely yours. The SheGlam Buttery Bliss Blush Stick-PHresh reacts when it touches your skin to give you the perfect flush." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

Best Body Lotion

Saje Wellness Dermedial Carrot Lotion [13] ($44)

"I love a lotion that hydrates and smells good, and this one from Saje Wellness does that and more. It's thick, formulated with ingredients like carrot seed and sandalwood, and it always leaves my body feeling silky smooth. Plus it has a tantalizing scent that I become more and more obsessed with each time I use it." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and social producer

Best Body Cream

Beekman 1802 Goat Milk Whipped Body Cream in Pistachio & Dark Cherry [14] ($39)

"I love a fun scented body lotion, and Beekman has such decadent options. The new Pistachio & Dark Cherry scent is so deliciously sweet, I want to eat it. The formula itself is also incredibly hydrating." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead

Best Hair Foam

Pattern Repair360 Leave-In Foam [15] ($49)

"I'm very picky with products that I use in my hair, but Pattern's new foam has found a place in my strict regimen. I love how it's lightweight, yet impactful for my curls since it's formulated with protein and amino acids — instantly reviving my hair. The smell is also divine." — Naomi Parris, assistant shopping editor

Best Leave-In Treatment

Davines Beautiful Things Restoring Leave-In Hair Mask [16] ($73)
"Davines is one of my favorite hair brands. All of their products feel so effortless yet luxurious. The new Beautiful Things Restoring Leave-In Hair Mask boosts shine and softness, and treats damage by conditioning ends. It also acts as a heat protectant." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead.

Best Hair Mask

Highbrow Hippie Vitality Mask [17] ($68)

"OK — full disclosure, I test a lot of hair masks, and I'm rarely impressed. Recently, I attended an event where I got to test out the Highbrow Hippie Vitality Mask, and to say I was blown away is an understatement. My hair has been through it this summer — it's dry, damaged, and kinda feels like straw on the ends — but this hair mask changed all of that immediately. It's become my go-to product every single time I wash my hair, and I use it in place of my regular conditioner. Say hello to silkiness." — Renee Rodriguez, senior staff writer and social producer

Best Laundry Detergent

The Laundress Fresh Take Luxury Laundry Detergent [18] ($23)

"I'm a sucker for fancy laundry detergent. I dislike the chore, but using an elevated product like The Laundress Fresh Take Laundry Detergent makes it feel a bit more special. It's a little luxury. I've yet to find a scent from the brand that I don't love, but Fresk Take in particular is a bright citrus that makes my clothes smell heavenly. It has notes of bergamot, petitgrain, fig, wild peppercorn, cedarwood, and musk. The other new scents include Flora Luna [19] ($23) and Soft Focus [20] ($23)." — Jessica Harrington, beauty section lead
