The best CBD mascara

The best CBD mascara
Why you'll love it: Depending on how you apply it, Milk Makeup's Kush mascara can give either a natural or voluminous look, plus it removes easily and nourishes your lashes while you wear it.

Before I found Kush Mascara, I had been using a different mascara each day, depending on what look I wanted or how my eyelashes’ health seemed.

The first time I put a single layer of this product on, I was impressed by the way they made my eyelashes look smooth and healthy, without even seeming like I had mascara on. I applied three layers, combing out my lashes between each, the next day and was just as impressed with the high volume look I had achieved.

But what was most impressive was the ease with which this mascara came off — I just used water and a cotton pad. Plus, with each removal, my lashes still looked lively and hydrated.

The hemp oil gives Kush mascara both its hydrating component and volumizing effect. Its wide, round applicator brush gives you the option to create a natural, understated look when only applying one layer, while that extra hemp oil in the second or third layers ramp up the volume.

The only downside I’ve experienced is that the mascara can clump, especially when the tube is newer and more full. But it’s easy enough to brush out the clumps with an eyelash brush.

At $24, this is a moderately priced mascara, and it comes in a large enough size that it lasts around four months with daily wear.

Pros: Versatile options, easy to remove, natural look, hydrating, good price

Cons: Can clump

The best CBD face oil

The best CBD face oil
Why you'll love it: Herbivore's Emerald facial oil is packed with a blend of moisturizing ingredients that are meant to protect from environmental stressors and hydrate your skin.

For many reviewers, this lightweight facial oil is a one-stop shop for solving typical skin-care woes, including dryness, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven texture. Herbivore’s Emerald Oil is high in moisture and designed to be quickly absorbed into the skin.

It infuses the skin with a combination of cannabis sativa hemp seed oil and olive-derived, moisture-locking squalane, which resulted in a healthy complexion and lifted glow for many shoppers.

The vegan and gluten-free product uses the CBD oil for its deeply moisturizing and nourishing aspects. It also has a blend of potent adaptogens like ashwagandha and turmeric root that give a calming dose of protection and may soothe irritation from environmental stress including pollution, UV rays, lack of sleep, and daily stress.

A few reviewers have noticed that the Herbivore Emerald Oil also smells great without being overpowering. The scent likely stems from the cannabidiol’s terpenes, which are the organic chemical compounds that give the ingredient its unique flavors and aromas.

The oil has earned itself an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars on Sephora for its great hydrating properties.

Shoppers have said that the oil applies smoothly and absorbs in just a few minutes, leaving smoother, softer skin. While some people have shared that the oil’s consistency is too thin for them, others have said that it has cured their peeling, dry skin.

Pros: Hydrating, light consistency, earthy aroma, absorbs quickly

Cons: Pricey for a small bottle, consistency is too thin for some people

The best CBD body lotion

The best CBD body lotion
Why you'll love it: The full-spectrum CBD oil in Lord Jones' lotion may help with body and muscle pain while hydrating the skin.

Called “life-changing” by some shoppers who swear by it, Lord Jones’ High CBD Formula Body lotion is not just a moisturizing lotion — it is designed to target body aches and pains.

Cannabis wellness brand Lord Jones uses full-spectrum CBD oil in this product, so the ingredient retains its original terpenes and phytocannabinoids, thus powering the lotion with the entire plant and boosting its overall efficacy.

The lotion is intended for muscle and body pain relief for day-to-day ailments like stiffness in joints, menstrual cramps, aching feet from too much walking or post-workout recovery.

In this case, CBD is used in the lotion for its restorative, soothing properties, and mixed with Shea Butter for its natural vitamins and fatty acids that nourish skin, and Menthyl Ethylamido Oxalate to provide a cooling effect that supports blood flow for immediate relief to the affected area. It's also vegan and gluten-free.

Buyer reviews say that the High CBD Formula Body Lotion reduces pain caused by everything from headaches, body aches, or stiffness to pains resulting from clinical ailments like TMJ and autoimmune disorders.

The lotion has received 4.5 out of 5 stars on Sephora, and 86% percent say they would recommend the product. However, the other 14% say they either experienced no pain-relieving results or found that the benefits they felt weren’t worth the product’s $60 cost.

The lotion comes with either fragrance-free or in a signature fragrance, which some have complained is rather “old-fashioned” and strong.

Pros: Relieves body pain, moisturizing

Cons: Strong scent, pricey, doesn’t work for everyone

The best CBD lip glaze

The best CBD lip glaze
Why you'll love it: Milk Makeup's Kush Lip Glaze hydrates lips and leaves a nice glossy finish behind.

Milk Makeup added a lip glaze to its Kush line of CBD products because of the oil’s hydrating, calming benefits, which make it ideal for dry, harshly chapped lips. This paraben-free glaze is combined with Jojoba Oil and Moringa Butter to add hydrating and soothing elements while keeping the formula non-sticky.

Unlike some chapsticks, the liquid formula of the Kush Lip Glaze is able to not only moisturize, but also lock in hydration to help the skin heal. While the high-shine barrier seems simply like a lip gloss-like effect, it’s actually a barrier that prevents moisture loss.

The lip glaze is also made with shea, cocoa, and mango butter that even the look of the lips’ texture. Some people actually use it as an overnight lip mask, because they still find it too thick for daytime wear. Its Jojoba and olive oils naturally tint the glaze to a green hue, but it will blend in clear.

Some reviewers have noted an irritating herbal smell when applying the glaze, but note that it disappears quickly. While the thick, gloopy texture is noticed by shoppers across the board, just about all of them agree that the smooth, cooling applicator allows the product to go on thin and without signs of stickiness.

The Kush Lip Glaze earned an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars on Sephora because of how well people notice it smooths, hydrates and conditions lips.

Pros: Moisturizing, conditioning, good applicator, works both in the daytime or as an overnight mask

Cons: Herbal smell, thick consistency, green tint
