Looking in the mirror and seeing a new side of yourself can do wonders for your self-confidence, even if the real beauty is indeed on the inside.

From hair masks that repair even the deepest damage to eyeshadow palettes that will transform your whole vibe, these are the absolute best beauty buys to add to your list.
