Toxin-Free Polish

Nail polish has been making the news recently because of it's toxic ingredients, which is why we love Ginger + Liz . The Black owned nail line puts health first without compromising on quality. The line offers a ton of shades, but we're obssesed with this nail lacquer from their fall collection called "Work the Room."

Luscious Lip Laquer

If you're on the market for a lip color that's super long wearing and incredibly pigmented, Obsessive Compulsive Matte Lip Tar was made just for you! A single application will take you from early morning to late night and maybe even into the next day if you forget to remove your makeup when you get home!

Perfect At-Home Pedi Scrub

Sometimes nails get all the love. Next time you're changing up your polish at home, cater to yoour feet as well with a foot soak and an invigorating scrub to soften and hydrate skin. We love this organic scrub from Skinny Skinny. The bonus? The rosemary mint scent is also really relaxing.

The Ultimate Skin Protector

The most important step of your skincare is SPF. With melanoma on the rise, you can never be too cautious, even in the winter. For all-over protection, we love Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Physical Defense SPF 30.
