Our favorite beauty products of 2017

We tested a lot of products this year. Here are the 14 that stayed in our rotation.

By

Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil UV Protective Dry Oil Finishing Spray, $34; Bumble and Bumble
This indoor hot air has got our hair screaming for some extra love and attention. Thank god for Bumble and Bumble dry oil finishing spray. It's an on-the-go, anytime conditioner that smells amazing.
CeraVe SA Cream, $13.48; Amazon
We’re combatting dry skin before it happens this winter with Cerave Renewing SA Cream, which exfoliates and softens skin. We use it all over, especially on our feet, knees and elbows. It’s scent-free so we can still spritz on our favorite scent.
Exfolisse The Crystals, $75; Oulmas Paris
Get an impeccably polished visage with Oulmas Paris Les Cristaux. Millions of sapphire microcrystals mixed with antioxidants leave your face smooth and glowing. It's one of the most luxurious exfoliants we've ever used.
Derek Lam 10 Crosby Looking Glass, $160; Derek Lam
The intoxicating scent of Derek Lam 10 Crosby Looking Glass has got us breathing deeply with its aroma of Chinese magnolia and tonka bean Madagascar with light floral notes.
Ruby Woo Lipstick, Pencil and Prep + Prime Lip, prices vary; Mac Cosmetics
The look of a red lip is darling, but the execution is sometimes a nightmare. Apply with confidence using Mac Cosmetics lip prep kit, which comes with your primer, pencil and matte Ruby Woo lipstick to make any pout perfect. Check out their YouTube channel for tricks on how to get a classic look as well as trending applications. Hello, ombre!
Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask, $92; fresh
Getting back on schedule after free-feeling summer days has our skin suffering, but that can be corrected right in the shower. We use Fresh Beauty Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask for a 10-minute revamp. After stepping out of the shower, we have hydrated, soft skin, which makes makeup application that much easier.
DreamDuo Overnight Transforming Treatment, $59; GlamGlow
Want to take the thinking out of your nighttime routine? Reach for GlamGlow DreamDuo Overnight Transforming Treatment. One side is filled with antioxidants and essential vitamins to smooth your complexion. The other side gives a moisturizing boost with hyaluronic acid and Mozuku green algae. The result: gorgeous skin the next morning.
Cloud Paint, $18; Glossier
Sun-kissed cheeks don't have to come with the health risk. Dab on Glossier Cloud Paint (our fave is Dusk) and get that soft, natural glow in an easy-to-use cream. Pat it on like a liquid foundation to the apples of your cheeks and build it up for a stronger look.
Bye Bye Redness trio, prices vary; it Cosmetics
Don't get caught red-faced ever again. We know red splotches are hard to cover up (we have Irish blood running through our veins), and finding products that actually stay put is a job in and of itself. It Cosmetics literally has you covered with its latest line, Bye Bye Redness. This trio (skin relief treatment moisturizer, neutralizing correcting cream and powder) covered up our reddened skin for a full day without any touch-up needed.
Lime & Spruce Hand Cream, $14; John Masters Organics
These up-and-down temps have our hands screaming for some extra TLC. We've found the solution: John Masters NYC lime & spruce hand cream is indulgent with a fresh scent and keeps our hands smooth and supple.
Creamy Eye Treatment, $48; Kiehl’s
Bye bye, tired eyes. Just a swipe of Kiehl's creamy eye treatment plumps and moisturizes the delicate skin around the eye, leaving a glow you thought only filters could give. It is our first product applied each morning and the last each night.
Water Bank Moisture Cream, $35, Laneige
Moisture has cometh! No matter the weather this week, Laneige water bank moisture cream has given us the right amount of hydration. It feels like that first slather throughout the entire day.
Balance line, prices vary; Ole Henriksen
Balance is what we strive for in life, and Ole Henriksen gets you started (at least with your visage) through its latest balancing regime of oil-control cleanser, toner, scrub and hydrator.
Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil, $55; Oribe
No-fuss mornings are what we dream about every day. While we can't guarantee Giselle-like hair, Oribe gold lust oil makes going air-dried a morning routine. No oiliness. No weighing down. Just soft, touchable, frizz-free hair.
