John Frieda Blue Crush Shampoo
Brassiness isn't a struggle that's exclusive to just bottled blondes. In-between coloring sessions, brunettes can get unwanted orange and warm undertones, too. That's where a blue shampoo comes in. Like Purple shampoo, it neutralizes brassiness to restore coolness and shine in brown hair. For any brunette looking for an option that can be picked up on a drugstore run, look no further than John Frieda's Blue Crush.

Dermalogica Neck Lift Contour Serum
The neck often gets neglected in skincare routines, which is why Dermatologica created this firming serum with a mess-free roll-on applicator. Since the neck is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on the face, it's more prone to sun damage, sensitivity to fragrance, and accelerated wrinkles and sagging from looking down at laptops and phones, a phenomenon known as tech neck. The serum's plant-based ingredients target these issues, but also delivers an instant toning and tightening effect.

Chanel Fleurs De Printemps Blush and Highlighter Duo
This floral embossed highlighter and blush compact is (almost) too pretty to use. The satiny peach highlighter and shimmery coral blush will bring a little bit of spring into your winter makeup routine.

Bite Beauty Upswing Full Volume Mascara

Holifrog Halo AHA + BHA Evening Serum
Add Holifrog's newest serum to your nighttime skincare routine and wake up with dewy dolphin-like skin. The blend of AHA and BHA chemical exfoliants clear clogged pores and sweep away dead skin cells, while plant oils and humectants act as a cushion to minimize dryness and irritation. Moth bean extract, a natural retinol alternative, rounds out the formula and promotes cell turnover and boosts collagen production. TL;DR: You'll wake up with smoother, glowier skin that's soft and hydrated — not unlike the aquatic mammal.
