These Beauty Products Are So Clever You’ll Wish They Were Invented Sooner

Table of Contents

Beauty products are oftentimes advertised as something new and super clever. So, of course, I’ll go buy that innovative product. But sometimes, I try it out, and it’s honestly just a totally plain mascara. It happens. That’s why I wanted to find beauty products that are actually unique and seriously handy. When you see the clever beauty products on this list, you’ll wish they were invented sooner. I know I at least wish I had bought them sooner.

You have to check out the clever body and face balm on this list. Instead of buying two lotions and lip balm, you can apply this vitamin B5 and shea butter moisturizer on your face, body, and lips. But before you put on your lotion, be sure to grab the powder toner on this list. It has a unique powder formula with calcium, clay, and zinc oxide. You apply it exactly the same way you would a liquid toner — but this one won’t leak in your bag.

If you like wearing makeup, there’s a pack of affordable makeup sponges on this list so you can color-code your sponge washing routine. Any sponge pack that can make my application a little more hygienic totally qualifies as clever.

Get started going through this list, and I promise you’ll find a seriously clever beauty product — not just another overhyped but plain mascara.
