Hands down. Hand over fist. Putty in our hands. No matter what “hand” phrase we come up with, it just never seems to be enough … because Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer is worth all of those and much more.

Many hand sanitizers are too medicinal-smelling and don’t actually make our hands feel clean. But this one is the complete opposite! It smells fresh and clean with a touch of floral essence that makes us feel like we’ve just stepped into a spa.

And the moisturizing aspect? You wouldn’t even believe how soft and smooth our hands are after just one pump. Seriously, one pump is enough to moisturize, clean and sanitize hands in an absolute instant!

So, the bottom line? Jurlique’s hand sanitizer most certainly knows what it’s doing.

Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer retails for $6.50 at sephora.com.

We thought we’d seen it all when it came to the world of mascara. But then Clinique went ahead and gave us something new to talk about, thanks to their brand-new Bottom Lash Mascara.

As if you hadn’t already guessed, this mascara is meant just for the bottom lashes. It comes in a tiny tube, and the brush is designed specifically for coating those pesky, miniature, hard-to-reach bottom lashes. It grips even the tiniest lashes and resists smearing, so you don’t have to worry about looking like you don’t know how to apply mascara properly.

We love the fact that a few swipes of this mascara makes our eyes come alive. No matter how much (or how little!) sleep we got the night before, our bottom lashes now make us look refreshed and well-rested. It comes in both brown and black, so you can control the dramatic impact you wish to have. (If you’re like us, you always, always go for black.)

To remove, simply splash warm water onto your lashes and press gently. Voila! The mascara comes right off!
