Anastasia Beverly Hills

Award:
Best Multitasking Pencil

Featured Product:

Product Rundown:
“We wanted to create a pencil that was not only bright, but matte,” says Norvina. “Nearly every colorful pencil has a shimmer, but this is an opaque matte pencil—they’re hard to come by because the formulation is hard to create.”

Lumify

Award:
Best Never Knew We Needed

Featured Product:
Lumify Redness Reliever Eye Drops ($15)

Guest Speaker:
Vincent Oquendo, celebrity Makeup Artist and LUMIFY Brand Ambassador

Product Rundown:
“Lumify contains a unique ingredient, called brimonidine, in a low dose that selectively targets redness,” says Oquendo. “Therefore, there is a reduced risk of side effects associated with redness relievers, such as rebound redness and loss of effectiveness.” We use this whenever we leave the house to look bright-eyed all day long.

Product Rundown:
“This toothpaste can be applied for tooth sensitivity,” says Buss. “It also acts as a filler to repair the microscopic pits in the enamel, which attracts plaque, and it fills holes in the tooth instead of traditional methods that just numb the area.”

European Wax Center Treat Ingrown Hair Serum ($30)

Guest Speaker:
Karly Thain, director of product strategy and innovation at European Wax Center

Product Rundown:
An ingrown hair is caused when a hair gets caught underneath the surface of skin, so instead of growing straight out of the hair follicle, hair curls under the skin. This product helps keep ingrown hairs and bikini bumps at bay.

Product Rundown:
“The beauty of Velvet Divine Hair Mask is in the balance—people love that it’s a moisturizer and a strengthener,” says Wilson. “Think of your hair structure like the bones of a house. You get strength from the foundation. Moisture is what we see visibly—like the decor of the house.” This mask dives deep to hydrate our hair for luxurious strands you can feel.
