While not exactly a beauty product, this natural bug repellent will prevent unsightly bug bites that will create a beauty product emergency.  Bug repellants are usually chemical-based, while Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic Bug Repellent Perfume Serum is a blend of USDA-certified organic oils.  It will ward off bites from mosquitoes, gnats, flies, ants, and more.  Apply a few drops to pressure points — $31.50.
