De-Puff & "Look Alive" Tools
Very quick result tools
It's the cold ice that instantly wakes you up as well as your skin
Ice Roller - Amazon.com
Keep these in the fridge, not the freezer. Works similarly to the facial ice roller except that these are for your eye area.
Cooling Eye Mask - Amazon.com
You don't have to do the full routine for a quick pick-me-up. Just make sure that you gua sha while your moisturiser or serum is still moist on your face.
Rena Chris Jade Gua Sha Facial Tool
An alternative to the full cooling eye mask
Reusable Eye Pads - Amazon.com
I like to use this on my chin and neck on days where I feel like a double-chin is going to show.
Mini Face Roller - Amazon.com
Time-Saving Tools
These make putting on makeup a lot smoother when you're pressed for time
Please be very careful while using this. Not suitable if your lashes are too short.
Heated Eyelash Curler - Amazon.com
Because not everywhere you go will have proper lighting
Lighted Compact Mirror - Amazon.com
Ensures that your sponge stays clean and dry

Hair Accessories
To keep your hair out of your face OR styling
Sleep with them and your hair doesn't tangle either!
Heatless Hair - Get Curls without Heat with The Curling Ribbon ...
I have my fine hair which gets tangled very easily so these prevents a lot of tangling and friction while I tie my hair so that I keep them away from my face
Silk Scrunchies
For blowdrying your hair in sections as well as to keep your fringe away from your head when you're applying makeup
Hair Sectioning Clips - Amazon.com
So relaxing in the shower…and my husband likes it so much that he too has been using my massage brush to shampoo.
Scalp Brush - Amazon.com
As my hair is very fine, it does get frizzy and messy when I go out. This works very well in keeping my hair tamed.
Compact Styler - Tangle Teezer
Organisation & Vanity Add-Ons
Great for corners and saves space when you go vertical.
Rotating Makeup Organizer, 8 Adjustable Layers
Again, if you're like me, I like to see everything openly so that I can spot what I need when I need it.
Brush Container - Amazon.com
Love the clear ones as I can immediately see where each item is when I am looking for anything in particular
Vtopmart 4 Pack Small Clear Stackable Drawers
This really depends on how many colours you have. I just like to see things a bit more organised but there are other ways to do so instead of this.
Lipstick Display - Amazon.com
If you don't like the rotating version as you may find that it doesn't hold a lot of bottles, then you may want to try the tiered stand. I do prefer this because the height is a lot taller and I do tend to have a lot of tall bottles.
Tiered Skin Care Organizer - Amazon.com
The good thing about organising them vertically like so is that you can see your palettes at a glance. Previously, I would pile them up and would forget those at the bottom.
Palette Organizer - Amazon.com
These immediately help to separate the mess and allows you to categorise your makeup in your drawer.
Drawer Dividers - Amazon.com
These are good for shallower drawers
Drawer Organizer - Amazon.com
Personally, I don't quite like it but I added it to the list because there are people like my mum who just doesn't like to have exposed bottles etc
Dustproof Cosmetic Storage - Amazon.com
This is if you have a lot of accessories other than a simple hairdryer.
Hair Tool Cord Organizer - Amazon.com
Wellness-Beauty Crossovers
Little daily routine items that help perk one up
Really reduces friction and tangles in the hair
Bedsure Satin Pillowcase for Hair & Skin Queen
Quick aromatherapy in the shower to make you feel relaxed and ready to take on the day
Cleverfy Shower Steamers Aromatherapy
To remind yourself to keep yourself hydrated because lack of water will make you look gaunt and tired
Large Water Bottle - Amazon.com
For a quick skin hydration, especially if you're on the plane or you work in an air-conditioned room all day
