Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream your skin will be SO happy to soak up — this is formulated with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil to help hydrate, tighten, and gently exfoliate your skin so effectively that you should be able to see early results in two weeks. (For some reviewers, it only took a few days!)
Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder to absorb oil and blur pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy ✨.
Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes.
The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it "gold in a jar" and "witchcraft."
A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.

E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
And Japonesque's Compact Eyelash Curler, aka your secret lash weapon — this ultra-compact version isn't just great for travel, but is designed with a lash pad to make it gentler on real *and* false lashes. The unique pressure of this version also makes it ideal for hard to curl lashes, monolids, and deep set eyes.
A bottle of wood polish to instantly make your scuffed-up doors, hardwood floors, and furniture look so spanking new that you'll wonder if it's not actually wood polish but a time machine. Why get new tables or fancy professional restoration when you've got a $9 secret weapon??
A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin.

A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth.
A bottle of callus-removing gel so effective at sloughing off dead, hardened skin that one reviewer described it as, "Horrifically satisfying." It's also super easy — you presoak your feet, apply for five minutes, and rub a pumice stone or foot file on the calluses and corns to watch them effortlessly slide off.
A "spray and go" enzyme-based laundry stain remover that works its magic in one wash to help you instantly get rid of all that discolored dried sweat, oil stains, or deodorant residue on your favorite clothes.

EXCLUSIVE: Revlon Teams With Guy Fieri to Drop a Wing-inspired Lip Balm Named ‘Flavortown'

Revlon is getting its hands dirty with a saucy new lip balm. Honoring National Chicken Wing Day and National Lipstick Day, which both fall on Tuesday this year, the drugstore cosmetics brand tapped restaurateur Guy Fieri to drop the latest addition to its viral Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm named after the 'Mayor of Flavortown' himself, priced at $10.49. 'That coincidence felt too bold, too flavorful and too fun to ignore,' said Kelly Solomon, Revlon's chief digital marketing officer, via statement. 'We saw a chance to create a cultural moment that blended beauty and food — two worlds built on creativity, indulgence and self-expression. The concept of a wing-inspired lipstick felt playfully disruptive in all the right ways. From there, 'Flavortown' was born.' More from WWD Charli XCX Brings Bratcore Style to Converse With New Custom Chuck Taylor Launch Noah Cyrus Channels Amy Winehouse While Joining the Beehive Trend Revival Tecovas' Cowboy Boots Go Chili's Red Hot in New Collaboration Fieri's Flavortown is a harbinger of the next era for the Super Lustrous Glass Shine, which was rereleased in December 2024 due to rising consumer demand. It's also the first limited-edition, custom product drop featuring the Glass Shine product. The coral-colored lip shade was created with Guy's O.G. Buffalo Sauce in mind, but the flavor profile is nowhere near as spicy, it's actually flavorless. With a glass-like finish, the formula is buildable — meaning the red pigment is subtle — and nonsticky with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe and rose quartz. The name 'Flavortown' was inspired by Fieri's signature catchphrase on his show 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,' which first aired on Food Network in 2007. The food connoisseur later opened up a delivery-only barbecue spot in Newark Liberty International Airport named Flavortown Kitchen, and now he's set to host another Food Network series called 'Guy's Flavortown Games.' 'This is a deliciously daring celebration of individuality, joy and flavor. The Flavortown Glass Shine Balm is for anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously — and still wants to look amazing,' Solomon said. 'Unlike more traditional fashion or entertainment-driven collabs, this one taps into food culture and brings a totally different kind of icon to the table. It's fun, irreverent and designed to make people smile, while still delivering a genuinely wearable, high-performance product.' The coincidence of National Chicken Wing Day and National Lipstick Day being calendared together prompted Solomon to mull over the question, 'Who is the undisputed face of flavor?' The obvious answer: Fieri. From that point on, Fieri was committed to helping Solomon and the rest of the Revlon team cook up something special. 'Of course, National Chicken Wing Day is a major holiday in Flavortown so it was already on my radar,' Fieri told WWD in an email statement. 'But when Revlon hit me up to team up on a fiery collab combining it with National Lipstick Day, I was all in. This is the next level collab you've been waiting for.' As part of this collaboration, out-of-home advertising activations will be hosted in New York City on Tuesday in Times Square and near Fieri's restaurant, Chicken Guy, in Bryant Park. The product, and a specialized sticker pack, will be available exclusively online at through Tuesday. Fieri's Flavortown balm comes more than a year after the namesake cosmetics brand appointed Michelle Peluso as its new chief executive officer in October 2024, two years after the brand filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Earlier this year, Peluso sat down with WWD to discuss her plans for the storied brand moving forward under new ownership and out of bankruptcy. 'The bottom line is this is a brand that's always stood for glamour,' Peluso said. 'We're not the no-makeup-look brand. We've been taking our partners through a three-year road map of innovation and storytelling to strengthen that ownership of glamour for mass.'

An affordable sleeveless exercise romper you will be SO glad you bought on days when the sun is trying to bake you like cookie dough.

Bonus — these are comparable to Aerie, Abercrombie, and Hollister versions that can go for three times this price!

Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's Santal 33, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. If you're in the market for a signature scent for your space this fall, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend.
