Matte About You
Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink City Edition Liquid Lipstick, $7.99 at Maybelline
These new City Edition shades are inspired by the buildings of New York City (our favorite is the orange-red Dancer that kind of feels like bricks, right?). And good news for those of us who want our lipstick to go the distance, just like its namesake the Big Apple, this long-wearing, stay-put-through-anything formula is tough as hell.

Dream Team
Exuviance HA100 Micro-Filler, $88 at Ulta Beauty
Your time spent in bed is about to get a lot more productive. This two-step, skin-perfecting system comes with an anti-aging serum and four sets of patches. Apply the serum all over your face every day. Then once a week place the patches over your deepest, most stubborn wrinkles. While you sleep, they'll be treated to a potent dose of hyaluronic acid that plumps while you catch your zzzs.

Skin-Friendly Shampoo
Seen Shampoo, $29 at Seen
As anyone who has ever suffered from dreaded bacne knows, the heavy, oily, moisturizing ingredients that make shampoo and conditioner so perfect for our hair can actually have negative effects on our skin. Enter this new formula that was designed by a dermatologist. It's noncomedogenic, free of pore-clogging oils and contains smart ingredients like hemisqualane (a sugar-derived alternative to silicone) and bisabolol (a soothing chamomile derivative).
