When you come across a beauty product that is truly life-changing, you have to share the deets with your girl gang. Thinking about some of my must-have products got me wondering what the other members of Kent State’s Her Campus chapter swear by, so I asked around and compiled a list of our top products!

The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser

After struggling with acne for years, I decided to try this product on a whim and it transformed my skin in just two weeks. Bye-bye breakouts, hello clear skin!Ā Bonus- it’s so affordable. I’ll never stop using it!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil

Lexi Marco (’20) swears by this oil, she says “I dab a little bit of this on my breakouts and it dries them up within a few days. Plus, it smells amazing and acts as aromatherapy,”

Kopari Starry Eye Balm

Brynna Sexton (’21) loves this product “because it brightens and moisturizes my under eyes. It makes me feel better when not wearing makeup and it has clean ingredients.”

Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow

Shelby Rabideaux (our chapter president!) loves theseĀ glitter eye shadows. “They are perfect for on the go and traveling because it creates a beautiful look with minimal effort and time. It’s a one and done look but you can also build it up and create a gorgeous night out look.”

Benefit Roller Liner Liquid Eyeliner

I’ve been wearing dramatic winged liner for years, but never have I found such an intensely pigmented, long-wearing liquid liner. Plus, this one has a felt tip (like a marker) so application is a breeze.Ā

If you fall in love with eyeliner, you may want to try out the mascara it was inspired by – it gives great lift!

L’OrĆ©al Bambi Eye Mascara

Maria Serra (’20) says she’s hooked on this mascara. “It gives my lashes the perfect lift to me look more awake and energized. It’s also a really wonderful price point. Plus – it was ranked the best mascara in Cosmo’s 2020 Beauty Awards!”

Sleek Makeup Highlighter Palette

I have been using this highlighter palette for nearly four years now and have yet to find anything I love quite as much. It goes on with the easeĀ of a powder but looks as smooth andĀ shinny as a liquid. And the shine is intense.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day In-Shower Styler

If I could only use one product for the rest of my life, it would be this. I have naturally frizzy waves and this helps not only to define them but give my waves a curly boost, too!Ā I used to never let my hair air dry but for the last two years I’ve been using this and I love the look. Plus, unlike most curl enhancing products, it doesn’t leave my hair feeling stiff or sticky.

Now, what are you waiting for? Go try out some of these products yourself and see if they become your new must-haves. Confession: I may or may not have already ordered the eye balm Brynna recommended.
