I'm A Beauty Editor, And Revolve Is My Best-Kept Shopping Secret—20 Staples I'd Put In Your Bag for 2025
As we head towards the new year, it's the perfect moment to revitalize and refresh our beauty routines. Yes, you can shop at your typical beauty retailer, but my favorite option is less expected: Revolve. The fashion retailer is known for its incredible collection of clothing, but its beauty selection is out of this world. Cutting-edge skincare, transformative makeup, and must-have accessories are all available to shop, promising to elevate your beauty game to new levels.
From holy-grail moisturizers and versatile deodorants to eco-friendly fragrances and high-performance pomades, there's something to meet every beauty need and preference. Whether you're seeking solutions for stressed skin, a sophisticated new scent, or tools to perfect your look, these Revolve favorites offer unparalleled quality and innovation. Here are 20 staples I think should be in everyone's bag—and while you're there discovering these great beauty buys, don't miss Revolve's Black Friday sale with up to 50% off selected items site-wide.
One of my favorite beauty brands to shop on Revolve is U Beauty, this stellar moisturizer especially. The ultimate solution for intense hydration and skin repair, it features the brand's innovative Hydra-Siren Capsule, an advanced moisturizer that delivers long-chain hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, providing immediate and long-lasting hydration. You'll experience visible skin repair, a radiant glow, and groundbreaking moisture that lasts all day.
A great remedy for irritated skin, this spray soothes and protects against daily aggressors like makeup, sweat, grime, and pollution. Enriched with hypochlorous acid and a skin-friendly pH of 4.5, it fortifies your skin's natural defenses and promotes renewal.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré is a beloved classic among makeup artists and dermatologists. This multitasking moisturizer, enriched with shea butter, beeswax, soy protein, and aloe vera, leaves skin soft, smooth, and plump. Its versatility shines as it doubles as a makeup primer, beauty mask, cleanser, and makeup remover, making it a true skincare essential.
Mason Pearson hairbrushes are an industry favorite, famously loved by hair stylists and models alike for being gentle and effective. If you're wondering why it feel so good when you brush, it's thanks to their 100 year old patented pnuematic cushion that contours to your scalp while it effortlessly detangles.
Experience the power of this gentle natural deodorant gel, which is particularly great for anyone dealing with sensitive skin. (Burning underarms are never fun!) Its invisible formula glides on effortlessly, ensuring no marks on your clothing. Infused with seaweed extracts and hyaluronic acid for skin hydration and enhanced with probiotics to combat odor, it provides effective and soothing freshness.
Inspired by the rain-drenched eucalyptus groves along Highway 1, this fragrance captures the essence of fresh green shoots, vibrant underbrush, and a hint of coastal rain. Top notes of crisp eucalyptus shoots blend with heart notes of magnolia mist, while the base reveals the rich, wet wood of eucalyptus leaves. Trust me, it's divine.
This ultra-affordable waterproof liquid eyeliner is the secret love of so many makeup artists, famous for creating clean lines that don't budge. A brown shade feels a little softer than black to wear by day, and is particularly on-trend this winter.
Achieve stunning lashes with Ilia's Limitless Lash Mascara, a buildable, flake-free formula that’s 99% naturally derived. It provides remarkable length, lift, and curl, allowing you to create a dramatic, voluminous look that lasts. This lightweight mascara not only enhances your lashes but also improves their condition. The dual-sided brush ensures precise definition and separation for a flawless finish.
If you didn't know that cult favorite haircare brand Ouai also makes incredible body wash, now you know. It's vegan and paraben free, and suitable for a broad range of skin types from oily to dry, normal to sensitive—and, obviously, it smells incredible.
And it gets better—Ouai also offers a more mindful refill option, so you can feel extra good about smelling so good.
Speaking of smelling good, Maison Louie Marie's scents are a long-time editor favorite. These mini perfume oils are the perfect excuse to try out all the delicious fragrances, and perfect for gifting or traveling this holiday season.
I love these pimple patches from Starface because of how well they work, but I also adore how cute they can make covering a pimple look.
Moon Juice's SuperYou combines four potent adaptogenic herbs in a clinical-strength formula to tackle fatigue on all fronts—physical, mental, and emotional. This blend boosts energy and mood, guards against oxidative stress, and supports weight management related to stress.
Missing Person is a mesmerizing fragrance that captures the essence of a lover's lingering scent. It's both alluring and intimate. It features top notes of musk, bergamot nectar, and sheer jasmine; heart notes of neroli blossom and orange flower; and base notes of sandalwood and white musk. Bonus points for it being sustainable, vegan, and cruelty-free.
A Who What Wear beauty editor favorite, this pomade stick is our go-to for achieving flawless texture and definition. Whether you're aiming for a messy tousled look, precise grooming, or simply need to tame stray flyaways, it ensures perfect results every time.
Illuminate your entire look with this oversize, award-winning highlighting stick. Perfect for the face and body, it delivers a luminous sheen with a touch of shimmer, blending skincare-grade ingredients for a radiant glow. Oh, and the cherry on top is the subtle vanilla scent.
This lightweight SPF 30 sunscreen oil, crafted from chardonnay grape-seed oil, offers a radiant, subtle glow while keeping your skin hydrated and protected. I love it year-round.
Revitalize your hair instantly with Act+Acre's Restorative Hair Mask, enriched with proteins, vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants for deep, lasting moisture. Ideal for all hair types, including color-treated and chemically processed strands, this mask transforms dry, damaged locks into soft, nourished tresses.
Experience superior dental care with the Supersmile Zina45 Sonic Pulse Toothbrush, where elegance meets effectiveness. This advanced toothbrush offers four modes to enhance the health of your teeth and gums. And the matching chrome travel case? Beyond chic.
For fans of the Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm who want to stay refreshed on the go, this kit is your perfect solution. It features the beloved Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm in both full-size and travel-size, ensuring you can keep your favorite cleanser with you wherever you are.
