It will give you an instant radiance and tighten the appearance of pores. The invigorating scent is formulated with essential oils and plant extracts to clarify and brighten the complexion.

Using mascara instantly opens your eyes and helps you look more awake. This one from Wander Beauty has a curved wand to bring more oomph to your lashes by lifting and curling at the same time. The peach leaf extract helps to condition and nourish your delicate lashes for a flake-free look. (To open up the eyes even more, use a lash curler. My favorite is from Kevyn Aucoin.) This product is free of parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, fragrance, and gluten.
