Physicians Formula

Physicians Formula isn’t a new brand on beauty shelves; in fact, it has an 80-year-old history of crafting effective products for all skin types. The brand was founded by Dr. Frank Crandall, an allergist in Los Angeles, who sought to create hypoallergenic makeup for his wife. Now, in 2025, the brand has gained new popularity with younger generations ever since Sofia Richie Grainge praised Physicians Formula’s Murumuru Butter in a “Get Ready with Me” wedding video.

Murumuru Butter Bronzer

The Murumuru Butter Bronzer boasts a creamy and soft formulation that blends seamlessly into the skin. Unlike other bronzing options, this one delivers a natural sun-kissed glow with a radiant finish in mere minutes.

Powder Palette Color Corrective Powder

This powder palette is made with a complementary color combination that enhances skin tone. The shades work to counteract common skin concerns like redness and dullness. The result? A natural-looking complexion without a cakey finish.

The powder is dermatologist-tested, which makes it an excellent pick for those with sensitive skin. Shoppers also praise that you can use it as a setting powder to lock makeup in place or for touch-ups throughout the day to control shine.

Bubble Skincare

Tweens (and their parents) love Bubble Skincare. Here’s why: Bubble’s skincare includes gentle products that are safe for young skin. Although suitable for tween and teen skin, the products aren’t lacking in effectiveness — each one is made to address concerns like acne and dryness. Plus, its fun and colorful packaging is super cool too!

Slam Dunk Hydrating Face Moisturizer

If you’re looking for a daily moisturizer for your kiddo, make sure this one makes its way into your cart. It’s made with hydrating ingredients like aloe leaf juice to soothe and moisturize. There is also vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps fight off free radicals and restores skin cell health.

Tell All Juicy Secret Lip Balm

My daughter (10) loves this lip balm and has purchased one for all of her friends. The lippie comes in a cute tube with a keychain they can attach to their backpack or school lanyard. Aside from its fun packaging, the balm is packed with hyaluronic acid thanks to its dermatologist-tested and plant-based formula.

Hero Cosmetics

You probably know Hero Cosmetics from their famous hydrocolloid acne patches that eliminate the toughest of blemishes almost instantly. The brand is also packed with other gel-based and effective products for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

Rescue Balm

The Rescue Balm is a must-have for no-makeup days. It works to improve post-blemish redness while leaving a sheer tint coverage behind. How? The balm uses color-correcting green encapsulated pigments that transition from a green hue to beige color.

Mighty Patch Original

While browsing Hero Cosmetics’ products, stock up on the viral pimple patches. Each one is pre-treated with a dose of medical-grade hydrocolloid that lifts gunk from the blemish to reduce its size in just a few hours.

e.l.f.

It’s no secret that makeup and skincare can cost a fortune, that is why beauty enthusiasts turn to e.l.f. products — they’re affordable and accessible. And just because they’re offered at lower prices doesn’t mean that the products sacrifice high-quality formulas that rival more expensive brands.

Putty Blush

Shoppers say this putty blush is “perfect.” The texture is slight on the skin and goes on seamlessly. The color payoff is stunning and lasts all day!

Power Grip Primer

Shoppers say that the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer is comparable to Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer, but it’s only $11! The primer consists of a sticky, gel-like texture that binds to makeup products which extends their wear. It’s also made with hyaluronic acid to moisturize the skin deeply.

Skin Gym

Meet Skin Gym, an innovative product line that offers innovative skincare tools and devices. You can shop for Gua Shua tools, LED therapy devices, and reusable face masks that highlight the brand’s emphasis on “skin fitness.”

IceCool Ice Roller

Sure, there are a ton of ice rollers on the market, but this one is highly rated and under $30! The roller is lightweight and easy to maneuver, even in the smallest parts of your face. You can also use it on your décolletage to soothe and smooth signs of aging.

Reusable Face Mask Forehead Wrinkle Patch

These reusable patches are made from 100% silicone so they feel soft and comfortable against the skin. They work to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and lock in your favorite anti-aging products.

Dyson

It’s hard to scroll through social media without seeing creators rave about their Dyson hair tools. And there’s a reason why: The tools make it easy to get salon-worthy hair from the comfort of your own bathroom. Each product features innovative technology that styles your hair without drying it first. You can also create your favorite hairstyles with one tool, eliminating the need for multiple products and saving you time.

Restored Airwrap Multi-Styler

If you’ve had your eye on a Dyson Airwrap, head to Walmart to snag this one that saves you some money. The Airwrap does it all, from smoothing hair to delivering bouncy curls, making it one of the most efficient hair tools to add to your routine.
