You Glow Girl Baked Highlighter by J.Cat Beauty
$8.99, jcatbeauty.com
Achieve an all-day glow with this highly-pigmented, buildable highlighter. This smooth, baked formula blends effortlessly and leaves you looking radiant and luminous. Apply desired amount with any powder or fan brush to areas where the sun hits naturally, such as your cheekbones, décolleté, or brow bones.
“From the second I swatched this highlighter, I knew it was going to be great. You can use a small amount on your brush for a glow from within or use more product for a blinding highlight.” —Beauty Buzz Member Kristen Carpenter, 30, Severn
Facial Scrub by Gaffer & Child
$30, gafferandchild.com
This gluten-free, vegan, and organic facial scrub removes dirt, dead skin, and other impurities without stripping the skin, leaving you with a bright and glowing complexion. Organic seeds and cane sugar gently exfoliates skin, while jojoba hydrates and moisturizes. Wet your face with warm water, apply product, and gently scrub. Rinse and pat dry. Gentle enough for everyday use.
“This facial scrub leaves the skin soft and feeling clean and fresh. In addition, it contains organic and vegan ingredients, and it’s non-GMO. I like the idea of getting a good cleanse without the need of harsh chemicals.” —Beauty Buzz Member Maria Winters, 41, Annapolis
