“I recently received Benefit’s Gimme Brow from a Westfield Old Orchard event and now wonder how I ever went out in public without it. It adds oomph to sparse or fine brows like mine without creating a painted-on effect.” (Executive Sales Planner Haley Hughes named Gimme Brow as her favorite product, too!) Ulta, $24

“I have lost track of how many dry shampoos I’ve tried, but after a friend recommended Batiste, I’ve never used anything else.” Ulta, $8
