The Seeke Rose Quartz Gua Sha Board

If you experience puffiness or tension, try your hand at facial massage using a gua sha. The Seeke’s tool is specifically designed to hug the facial contours, stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce fluid retention. You can keep it in the fridge to wake up tired skin or run it under hot water — the warm temperature will help with product absorption. Be sure to use it in tandem with a nourishing face oil for slip, too.

PMD Beauty Clean Pro

If you’re really into skincare, the PMD Beauty Clean Pro is such a fun (and functional!) way to level up your routine. The silicone tool vibrates 7000 times a minute, working to dissolve makeup, oil and dirt from within the pores. It can even be used to infuse your serums and creams.

Dyson Airwrap

The Airwrap is like the Rolls Royce of hair tools. With six different attachments, it uses an aerodynamic phenomenon called the coanda effect to smooth, shape and style all types of hair. You can create bouncy volume or a glassy, sleek blow dry — no round brushes required.

Real Techniques Miracle Powder Sponge

We’re all across the virtues of sponges for blending our liquid products, but this version from Real Techniques is made from a velvet-touch foam to bake, set and buff in powder. It’s got both rounded and flat edges for a seamless finish in tricky spots (like around the nose) while the soft texture ensures full, long-lasting coverage.

Biologi Microfibre Cloth

When it comes to makeup removal, skip single-use cotton rounds and use these Microfibre Cloths from Biologi instead. The tiny fibres sweep away dirt, oil, makeup and skincare while providing a gentle exfoliation. They work well to clean up any shadow fallout or liner mishaps, too.
