My friends and I have a lot in common, including a high standard for coffee and croissants, a tendency to share often unreliable horoscopes in our Instagram group chat, and an intense interest in all things beauty. We spend the majority of our time together talking about the latter—discussing the pros and cons of certain products, cross-referencing opinions, and swapping blushes for perfumes and serums for moisturizers.
Recently, they came to visit me and my massive beauty collection (as a beauty editor, product samples are in no short supply). After sorting through hundreds of bottles, tubes, jars, and palettes, they left with eight items…and I kept five of theirs. Ahead, see all of the best beauty products worth swapping with friends.
