Vault Color-Lock Leave-In Conditioner by amika
$25/6.7 fl. oz.,loveamika.com
Protect, detangle, and soften your hair simultaneously with this leave-in conditioner. This lightweight spray is formulated to shield hair from UV-B damage while keeping color fresh and vibrant. Amino acid complex strengthens and nourishes, leaving you with luscious locks. Spray throughout clean hair, damp or dry, and gently comb.
“Usually I HAVE to blow dry my hair or it becomes a mess. I love that I could just spray this mist on my hair, comb through, fluff it with my hands, and I was good to go. I absolutely loved the fragrance and the way my hair became so much more manageable after use. I noticed it added a bit of volume as well.” —Beauty Buzz Member Terrie Boucher, 61, Crownsville
Purifying &Deodorizing Body Wash by Mirai Clinical
$29/10 fl. oz.,miraiclinical.com
Treat your skin to what it deserves! This purifying, renewing body wash is filled with skin-loving ingredients like Japanese green tea, persimmon, and coconut oil. Free of harmful chemicals and sulfates, this formula will keep your skin hydrated, softened, and fresh all day.
“This body wash is luxurious and light. The fragrance is light and citrusy. Citrus is super invigorating, and incorporating it in my morning showers is a plus! It foams nicely and doesn’t dry my skin out. I like how this can be used everywhere, too! It makes for the perfect post-workout shower.” —Beauty Buzz Member Lyndsie Cox, 22, Glen Burnie

Eyelid Lift Serum by Perricone MD
$122/0.5 fl. oz., perriconemd.com
Refresh and brighten your complexion with this lightweight serum designed to smooth eyelid creases, restore skin elasticity, and soften the appearance of dark circles, lines, and wrinkles. Vitamin F helps replenish and hydrate, while the antioxidant glutathione protects and repairs skin. To use, gently pat around the eye area. For best results, use morning and night.
“This serum is ultra-lightweight and fast absorbing. After a month of use, I really saw a difference in the skin around my eyes. My eyelashes even appeared longer, which is not one of the stated benefits. I have very sensitive eyes, and this serum did not irritate my eyes like so many other products.” —Beauty Buzz Member Cathy Belcher, 66, Edgewater
