Shampoo

Lisa's Pick: Halo Curl Shampoo

"Gentle enough for every day but cleans deep enough for those "curlies" who go a little longer. Goes great with the Curl Conditioner."

Texturizer

Melissa's Pick: Privé Finishing Texture Spray (Herbal Blend #89)

"THE BEST add-in for my hair after blow drying for extra body, a bit of hold, and texture that I've found."

Read the review.

Texturizer

Jen's Pick: Jonathan Dirt Texturizing Paste

"I feel like I can do anything I want with my hair when I use this texturizing paste. Long-lasting curls? Manageable bangs? Straightened hair that doesn't go limp? It does it all."

Facial Moisturizer - Day

Melissa's Pick: Juice Beauty SPF 30 Sheer Moisturizer

"This doesn't make my face greasy at all and I know that I'm using something that's going to really protect my skin. Also, it's made of natural, healthy ingredients, like all of Juice Beauty's products."

Facial Exfoliator

Jen's Pick: SUKI Naturals Lemongrass Exfoliating Mask

"This is easily my favorite of all the products I've tested this year. I love everything about this scrub, from the soft grains that really get my skin clean to the fresh scent."

Read the review.

Lip Balm

Melissa's Pick: Bag Lunch Lip Balms

"The flavors are absolutely amazing and original. Of course, the formula is soft and comforting as well. These are a vastly more fun take on the common pocket lip balm - I LOVE these!"

Read the review.

Fragrance

Lisa's Pick: Acqua di Parma Arancia di Capri

"I reviewed this during the August heat and am still loving it as the chilly weather move in. The musky orange fragrance goes lovely with fireplace weather and falling leaves. "

Read the review.

Liquid/Gel Eyeliner

Lisa's Pick: Giorgio Armani Maestro Liquid Eyeliner in Black

"Excellent for quick no-fail application of liner that is rich in pigment and has staying power. Whether I want a fine line for fuller looking lashes or a thicker line for more of an accent to the eye, this liner works great and is so easy to use."

Read the review.

Mascara

Melissa's Pick: Maybelline Full 'n Soft Waterproof Mascara

"I have never found a mascara I love more than this; it's my ALL-TIME favorite. It's soft to the touch, doesn't flake, stays on for hours and hours through practically anything, and makes my lashes lush and full. This has been MY mascara for over 4 years."

Read the review.

Lip Liner

Lisa & Jen's Pick: Laura Mercier Lip Pencil

"Not overly hard or soft, so that precision lining is easy and lasting, these pencils are gorgeous, highly pigmented and look great with just a little gloss on top. Redwood and Chestnut are must-haves!"

Read the review.

Liquid Foundation

Jen's Pick: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Make-Up
