Rejuvenate your skin with gentle, multi-wavelength light for a smoother, radiant complexion. This 4-in-1, flexible mask works with red, blue, infrared and mixed LED light to tackle different skin problems, long-lasting rechargeable battery, and cordless convenience. Opt for a 10-minute manual mode or 15-minute hands-free automatic mode. Each color has its own benefits and targets different layers and cells in the skin:
• promotes collagen synthesis

Scent is the hottest category for spring, and this collaboration is getting all the attention. This collaboration is bold, edgy, and totally unique. It’s got that woody, slightly smoky vibe with a hint of spice, so it really makes a statement without being overpowering, and somehow is light and fresh for spring.
John Wick x Scentbird + Drift Collaboration
PRICE: $12.95- $90
SHOP: scentbird.com and drift.co.
Channel your inner John Wick with this aromatic, woody blend that’s as dangerously thrilling as it is precisely composed.
A burst of spiced lemon hits fast, pure adrenaline at first spray while a gunmetal accord adds a sharp, metallic edge that feels downright lethal. True to Wick’s composure under pressure, clary sage creates balance, as cedarwood locks the scent in and grounds the finish. A shot of amber bourbon rounds out the blend, adding an air of class and distinction.
This palette proves you don’t have to spend a lot to look polished. You get 16 shades to create everything from a soft daytime glow to a more defined evening look—it’s super versatile.
