This little baby packs a big punch with six of the original Soft Glam shades and two from the Norvina palette.
With a mix of matte, satin, and metallic finishes, you'll be able to create endless looks from a subtle daytime glow to a full-on smoky eye for a night out on the town.

EARTH HARBOR Glow Juice Enzyme Refining Mask – $40 Value
Oh, the thrill of trying out a new mask! And Earth Harbor's Glow Juice Enzyme Refining Mask lived up to the hype. The vibrant purple hue lured me in, but it was the impressive list of natural ingredients that won me over. The blend of red seaweed, fruit enzymes, white willow bark, and aloe leaf juice left my skin softer and smoother than before. And the best part? It did all of that without any irritation. Glow Juice knows how to multitask, and even works as a leave-on spot treatment for those stubborn problem areas. Plus, the fact that it's vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with organic ingredients made me feel even better about slathering it on my face. If you're looking to combat dullness, redness, acne, excess oil, or large pores, I would highly recommend Glow Juice a go.
