The six sun-kissed, cheerful, understated eyeshadows in this limited-edition palette, along with the golden peachy pink blush hue at its center, are all formulated with Amazonian clay, which works to maintain the skin’s optimal moisture level, absorbing any excess grease and oil when necessary, hydrating as needed, and helping to nourish and soften the skin — and, as we all know, makeup looks that much better when your complexion is healthy and dewy!

MAKE YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE NICE AND GREEN!

Boscia Konjac Cleansing Sponge with Bamboo Charcoal, $15, and Boscia Konjac Cleansing Sponge with Complexion Clearing Clay, $15. Available at Sephora.com

Both of these dome-shaped sponges are made out of the roots of an Asian potato known as konjac which has the unique property of absorbing impurities and debris rather efficiently. When damp, these fibers soften and develop the squishy quality we associate with sponges, while retaining enough coarseness so as to gently exfoliate the skin. The black sponge is infused with bamboo charcoal, a natural detoxifying and antibacterial agent that helps to extract dirt, oil, and bacteria from deep within pores, thereby helping to prevent breakouts, give skin a more luminous finish, and minimize the appearance of pores. The light green sponge, meanwhile, is infused with natural green clay, which helps to soothe inflamed skin, remove dead skin cells, eliminate acne breakouts, and prevent future outbreaks.
