1.

This Mario Badescu lip wax that’s the answer to all the prayers that have ever passed your chapped lips.


Hameda Nafiz / BuzzFeed

This one is enriched with jojoba oil, vitamin E and beeswax, which means your lips are going to have a healthier diet than you (probably).

Promising Review: “I’ve tried so many different lip balms that seem to dry up my lips instead of actually making them softer. This stuff was the answer to ALL MY PRAYERS. It’s smooth as velvet going on and tastes and smells like literal buttercream. There’s also an unscented one if you prefer, but I’ll probably judge you.”

Buy it from Mecca for $10.

This Innisfree serum, which uses green tea extract and seed oil to hydrate the crap out of your skin.


Isha Bassi / BuzzFeed

Promising Review: “So, I’ve been getting serious about my skin this year. Part of that included doing a Korean skincare challenge for a month, which led to me discovering this green tea serum. Besides from smelling fresh and fantastic, this product feels like absolute heaven on my skin — especially after washing my face. It moisturises, hydrates and has became a staple in my skincare regime. I don’t think I could live without it!”

I was going around the stores trying on products and the store assistant swore this was the best thing for dry skin (especially when flying). She was not wrong. It’s creamy, but not greasy, and is so light. I find it serves as a great primer for under my makeup, too.”
