Swirled together, the five shades of Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in Riviera ($12) make a luminous bronzing powder. Used individually, they're flattering neutral eyeshadows; the mauve also doubles as a blush, and the pearl works as a highlighter.

Malin + Goetz Detox Face Mask ($38) is a gentle and effective weekly purifying treatment, but you can also use it to remove makeup and cleanse every night—rinse it off if your skin is oily; tissue it off if you're dry.
