An aggressive alarm clock, nourishing skincare, and so much more.
1. A Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle featuring a *genius* design with a metal straw inside but a silicone straw on top for drinking comfort that seamlessly locks in place so you'll never find yourself drenched after tipping it a bit too far. It'll also keep your drinks cold for 24 hours, so even if it takes you ALL day to hit your water quota, it'll still be as refreshing as when you first poured it.
This bottle is BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer' s go-to, "It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!"
Promising review: "This BrüMate tumbler is fantastic! It's 100% leakproof, keeps drinks cold for hours, and the handle and straw make it super convenient to carry. The color looks great, and it fits perfectly in cup holders. Plus, it's made of stainless steel, so it's durable and easy to clean. Perfect for staying hydrated on the go!" — Jorge Isaac
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes and 21 colors).
2. A reusable smartnotebook to seamlessly combine your love of handwritten notes with the ease of taking them digitally. (Here's to you, Rocketbook app!) As you write in this seemingly magical notebook, your notes will *also* be recorded in the app. Is it 2025 or 3025?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This set includes the notebook, a Pilot Frixion pen, and a microfiber cloth to wipe it all away. Once wiped away they'll be transported through cloud services with the Rocketbook app, which is available for both iOS and Android.
Promising review:"Love my Rocketbook Fusion! I thought this looked cool and so I ordered one. Then I joined a group on social media that is for owners of Rocketbooks and my brain has been blown. There is soooooo much one can do with these notebooks! I am loving having it to take notes while I'm on a Zoom call for work. I am more engaged and I process more when I'm taking notes in writing. I've always had stacks of notebooks. Small ones for different projects at work. Another for personal thoughts. Another for a nonprofit I'm on the board of. Of course a planner or two for good measure. Now I have one. One thin notebook. And several fun pens... Now I can meal plan, project track, journal, and take notes all in one place! Rocketbook also puts out some great videos with ideas on how to personalize the pages for your individual needs. Possibilities are endless!" — Nikola Sievert
Get it from Amazon for $29.49+ (available in three sizes and in 14 colors).
3. Lumify Eye Drops, which are *so* beloved on TikTok they've been selling left and right on Amazon! Reviewers adore them because they reduce redness in their eyes nearly instantly — an absolute must-have if you haven't been getting much sleep thanks to your all-too-busy schedule.
www.amazon.com
Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.
Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
Get it from Amazon for $11.93
4. A HappyLight sunlamp with seemingly magical properties to help improve your energy levels and mood. It's a no-brainer buy for anyone who works into the wee hours of the right and could really benefit from a sunlight-like boost to keep them going.
Amazon

Promising review:"I work from home at night. I never see the light of day during the winter. This light has been a joy to have and gives great light at my desk to work with with the benefit of mimicking sun exposure. It's very easy to use and to replace bulbs." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price).
5. SweatBlock wipes that'll become your saving grace if you're running around so much, you're constantly dripping in sweat. These babies are prescription strength and designed to take on hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating. These wipes did NOT come to play!
Amazon
This stuff is VERY strong, so if you have sensitive skin, consider doing a spot test before going all-in.
Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sports coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat. I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $19.99.
6. A weighted eye mask to give your tired eyes the relaxing treat they deserve after a long day of staring at a medium screen, then unwinding with a tiny screen while *also* looking at a big screen. Sweet dreams, eyeballs. You've earned a break.
Amazon
Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in seven sets).
7. Breathe Right nasal strips your partner will thank the heavens for, especially if you're as tired as Post Malone's tattoos say he is. These handy strips increase nasal airflow to help prevent snoring and relieve congestion.
Promising review:"This product is a true gem. I'm eight months pregnant, and due to the baby pressing on my diaphragm, I've begun to snore terribly. My poor husband is a light sleeper, so I needed to figure something out. I started applying this at night, and he says he doesn't hear a peep out of me! If you have trouble sleeping or snoring, this is something you need." — Raevyn
Get a box of 26 strips from Amazon for $8.63.
8. A Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask that'll work harder than Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey mining diamonds. Apply it before you hit the hay to reap the benefits (firmer skin, more elasticity, minimized pores) while you dream.
www.amazon.com
Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week.
Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.
9. A set of light-dimming stickers that'll take your gadgets and gizmos down a peg in the obnoxious department and help you get some quality sleep without the interference of annoying lights.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Who knew such a simple little thing would actually help you sleep better? Works just as advertised. No more annoying lights to keep me up at night!" — Margo A. Castorena
Get a set from Amazon for $8.99.
10. A selfie-worthy Elizabeth Mott's Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask to exfoliate blackheads and fight other skin impurities while it bubbles up and looks downright hilarious.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. I was skeptical at first, but after my first use, I fell in love. It goes on smoothly and doesn't drip off, which is nice. Once it was time to rinse off, i t was amazing seeing all the stuff it sucked out of my pores (gross, but a good gross). Not only does this stuff work, it's fun to watch and see your face turn into a Smurf lol. I have cystic acne, which in itself is hard to manage, but this stuff made it that much more manageable. Face was left feeling cleansed, refreshed, and soft. LOVE LOVE this product. Highly highly recommend." — HarleyMama
Get it from Amazon for $17.10
11. La Roche-Posay Lipikar Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream that'll revive the dry skin of everyone in your household. It's safe for babies, children, and adults, so it helps reduce the number of products on your bathroom vanity! It's nongreasy and formulated with shea butter and niacinamide to restore the skin's protective barrier.
Promising review:"This cream has been a lifesaver this winter. A little goes a long way and it has completely changed my dry skin. I use it every morning and it keeps my skin hydrated all day. It is lightweight and super creamy without being heavy and greasy. I can't say enough about how effective this cream is at a great price point." — Diane Delbrook
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes).
12. Plus a duo of Aquaphor Lip Repair tubes because I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering from extremely chapped lips. It's fragrance-and-paraben-free and filled with soothing shea butter and chamomile essence that'll help heal your lips in time for your next date night.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"One of the best lip balms I've ever used. I love to sleep with it and wake up with my lips completely renewed. Highly recommended." — Cintia Gomes
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.36.
13. An alarm clock on wheels you'll quickly develop a complicated relationship with — it'll roll around, jump, shake, make robotic sounds and essentially just annoy you until you *finally* have to get out of bed, tackle it, and start your day.
Clocky is a small business!
Promising review:"My friends and family all know how terrible I am at waking up in the morning. Every alarm clock I have ever used has been defeated by my quick 'hit snooze button' reflexes. So much so I find myself rushing for the door more often than I'd like. All that changed when I found Clocky. CLOCKY WORKS! Clocky moves so I can't get comfortable or used to where the snooze button is placed. I easily carry Clocky to any room in the house I choose to get cozy, relax, and watch some TV 'til I fall asleep on a work night. I LOVE CLOCKY and highly recommend giving it a chance because you will fall in love with the results. I am now actively waking up at the original time I set my alarm to and also staying up so I can have a productive day. Get Clocky and save your day! ☆☆☆☆☆" — Valued Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 5%; available in nine colors).
14. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in a variety of delectable scents — regardless of whether you commit to "Gummy Bear" or "Grapefruit" you'll be rewarded with hydrated and soft lips all day long.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I adore this gloss in all flavors. The feel is wonderful. It's not sticky or greasy. The scents are all lovely and it gives the perfect amount of sheen. It's my go-to!" — Marci Jones
Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in 10 scents and three combination packs).
15. A Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier you likely saw on Shark Tank and thought "Wow, that's exactly what is missing from my life." Clip it onto your bags (it can lift up to 80 pounds!) sling 'em over your shoulder and be on your merry way.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories.
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box. For example, if you balance the bags, you can throw them over your shoulder and walk inside, and you have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in seven colors).
16. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers that'll save you when a big ol' pimple pops up the night before the date you've been excited about all week (and you SHOULD be — it's with that cute guy from the coffee shop you've been daydreaming about asking out for months!).
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis is a fan. "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate. For more deets, check out my full Mighty Patch review!"
Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of The Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, which has evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strip Mighty Patches, and more!
Promising review:" Using this product has been a game-changer. It's as if the adhesion of it literally pulls all of the bad stuff from the spot and you'll know when it's time to remove when it turns up white on your sticker — so easy to remove and my spot has went drastically down. I'm on my fourth box, or maybe fifth? They're my go-to at the slightest spot I get to try to nip it in the bud. Might I add that my hormonal cystic acne spots have been majorly suppressed by these — as soon as I feel one coming on, I take a hot washcloth to the area and put a sticker on overnight for a couple of nights and the deep underneath feeling of that spot is gone. I love these so much, and you will too." — Deborah Hart
Get a pack of 36 stickers from Amazon for $12.99.
17. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin.
www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash."
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.
18. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in seven styles).
19. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because you and I both know the ones you're currently resting your head on at night are looking (and feeling) like sheets of computer paper. It's time for you to upgrade your sleeping situation, friend!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I purchased them two years ago. They are the most wonderful and comfy pillows I've ever had. When I read the reviews saying they washed up badly, I was ready to buy new ones. Lo and behold, I washed them and dried them in the dryer, and they turned out great. I just have the older type stackable washer and dryer set, not large, just regular sized. I put both pillows in the washer on gentle, then put both pillows in the dryer. I ran the dryer on medium heat and ran the cycle several times, just to make sure. I'm happy they turned out so well 'cause I love these pillows!" — T. Rune
Get a set of two from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in Euro, Standard/Queen or King sizing).
20. Plus a duvet cover set complete with one cover and two shams that'll make you feel like a sergeant of the Sleepy Squad when you turn down your bed and climb on in for the night.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've ordered two in different shades. This duvet is absolutely amazing for the price. This is my second one, like the one before VERY SOFT and feels like high end, breathable not too heavy, but warm as well. Definitely will be purchasing more in different colors." — hanna bates
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 40 colors and in twin, full, queen, king, and California king sizing).
21. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo is benzene-free, comes in five hair colors, and will be your savior when, oops, you've overslept again before work. Sleepyhead? Certainly not you!!!
www.amazon.com
The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair and I can go an additional day without washing it now." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.59.
22. A motivating daily planner that literally says "You've got this!" at the top — it'll also look oh-so-cute on your desk or fridge and has sections to keep track of appointments, how much water you're drinking, a to-do list, what you ate (meal prep, perhaps?!) and a general notes/doodling area.
Each pad comes with 50 sheets.
Promising review:"I use this first thing when I get in the office in the mornings as a 'personal to-do' before our morning meetings. It reminds me to stay productive when I might not have work to do in the office at that moment, but it also reminds me throughout the day of the intention I set early on. It's been a great visual reminder of my personal goals while I'm achieving professional goals." — Chelsea Ashton
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save 10%; available in five sizes and a variety of styles).
23. The Wand, a handheld filter designed to remove the histamines and sulfites in alcohol that may trigger headaches and hangovers. This lil' gadget will have you singing out "blesssss my souuuuul" like one of the Muses from Hercules.
PureWine is a small business!
Promising review:"OMG!!!! This works. I love wine, but have terrible allergies to the histamines, sulfites, and preservatives in wine. I actually use one wand for two glasses of wine. I was very skeptical, but it works like a dream! Thank you, PureWine. This is really a breakthrough for me." — Penny Froh
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99.
24. A back pain relief gel pack you can wear hot *or* cold for anyone who feels it is way too soon in their life to constantly be muttering "ouuuuuch, my back!" Reviewers swear by for help with relief of lower back, sciatic, coccyx, and tailbone pain — might as well give it a try, right?
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Each of these comes equipped with two gel packs so you can alternate between hot and cold whenever you need!
Promising review: "This was perfect for my sore back. It comes with two inserts. That is nice because I was able to keep one in the fridge and the other to warm up in the microwave. The belt they go in works great for lower back pain. I could wear it at work when my back was bad." — Brandie Collins
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three styles).
25. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil Body Wash jam packed with mint, aloe, and tea tree soap to help moisturize skin and soothe common skin irritations (not to mention it also smells DELIGHTFUL thanks to the addition of jojoba oil, coconut oil, and olive oil).
Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with acne from Mayo Clinic
Promising review:"I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week and it's made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend" — Blackburn's
Get it from Amazon for $14.49 (clip the coupon on the product page to save 10%; also available in a two-pack).
26. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream — designed to decrease puffiness and dark circles, so if you've been up far too late crying watching Steel Magnolias for the umpteenth time this cream will be there for you come morning.
www.amazon.com
LilyAna Naturals is a small business!
Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60-years-old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
27. Mario Badescu Facial Spray you'll wish you could actually bathe in once you see how refreshing it feels when spritzed on your face — it's made with cucumber and aloe to hydrate and cool you down in the most delightful way.
Amazon
Promising reviews:"So I'm cheap okay? This spray is my holy grail. After I've put on all my moisturizer, I spray this over for extra hydration. Does the job for my oily/dry skin!! I've used this for as long as I can remember and my skin is always hydrated. I also love it for when I'm hot, I just spray all over and ahhhhh so refreshing :))" — Vanessa
Get it from Amazon for $14 (also available in four combinations).
28. Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce the under-eye circles and puffiness you're prone to having if "Sleepy" is your middle name, but you're simply not catching enough Zzzs these days. A big shout out to the glacial waters it's formulated with, amiright?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." — Ben
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
29. Skin1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks that'll make you temporarily look like a zombie while you impatiently wait for season two of The Last of Us (and the return of Pedro Pascal to our screens). This entertaining mask will tighten your pores and minimize the appearance of wrinkles while providing you with the opportunity to take some *very* silly selfies.
Promising review:"Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." — Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $19.99.
30. Bio-Oil, which reviewers swear helps to diminish scars and stretch marks so well it should probably be called "bye-bye oil." It *also* does a fabulous job moisturizing sensitive skin. It's filled with rosemary, lavender, chamomile, vitamin A, vitamin E, and PurCellin oil to help keep your skin feeling (and looking!) great.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord was super impressed by this product, she said:
" FWIW re: scars, though, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago, and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."
Promising review:"I had to have a freckle excised to check for cancer. The wound was very deep and left a scar (the one in the center). The other two scars are actually from the bandages I used to cover the wound. The scar made me self conscious, and I found this online with great reviews. I will say that if I had used it every single day, I think the scar would be completely gone. However, even with using it maybe three or four times a week, the results are amazing! I am very happy with this product. The scent is lovely and light, and I love the consistency. Highly recommend!!" — Alexis Melendez
Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes).
31. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream that'll become your most cherished beauty product — it'll help you out whether your under-eye bags are courtesy of your nocturnal infant or you drank a cup of coffee too late in the day when you couldn't stop yawning during your afternoon meeting.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have a newborn so I don't sleep enough or drink enough water. I was really starting to notice the effects under my eyes. I had dark bags and just looked tired. I put this eye cream on at night with my normal lotion and noticed a big difference in the darkness under my eyes the next morning. Now after I have applied it for a few days p.m. and a.m., my dark circles and bags are almost gone. I may not feel rested but at least I'll look it!" — Jamie Moore
Get it from Amazon for $14.44.
32. CND SolarOil — a must-have for anyone who is tired of cracked, brittle nails and wants to try and fix 'em once and for all. You and your manicurist will be hugging and jumping for joy once you see the end results.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" — Diana
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
33. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment only asks for a mere five minutes of your time and transforms hair from drab to fab — yes, seriously, only 300 seconds will do the trick!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." — Therese-Claire
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

www.amazon.com
You can use each pen about 20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades.
Promising review:"I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." — vicki houska
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95 (clip the coupon on the product page to save 30%).
35. A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok!
Promising review: "Here's the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It's an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you've done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" — Molly
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
36. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, which is honestly worth every single penny you'll spend on it. It's very lightly scented, unbelievably hydrating, soothing, and sinks into skin right away. Not to mention, the packaging is absolutely gorgeous.
Charlotte Tilbury
I've been using Charlotte's Magic Cream (in the Disney packaging, hehe) for years now and am such a big fan (I've even got my husband using it as well). I have a toddler and another baby on the way, so my skincare routine needs to be VERY pared down these days. The one thing I've managed to prioritize is to keep up with a moisturizing ritual — and this one certainly does the trick. I never need to use TOO much to cover my face/neck and I love that it sinks in right away so I can rest my head on my pillow immediately after. It's jam packed with skin-supporting goodies like vitamins C and E, rosehip oil, hyaluronic acid, frangipani flower extract, camellia oil, aloe vera, and shea butter. It's truly fantastic and I'll be buying it again and again.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly uses Charlotte's Magic Water Cream, which is similar but seeps into your skin *instantly* making it the perfect day cream option!
Promising review:"This cream has truly changed my complexion and my life! It's worth every penny! It's so luxurious feeling when applying it to my skin and it quickly smooths and blends into my poor dry complexion. I swear I can hear my pores shouting THANK YOU!" — Londie
Get it from Charlotte Tilbury for $30+ (available in four sizes).
37. An exfoliating foot peel mask that'll make you feel like a snake shedding your skin (is this a hidden Easter egg that Taylor Swift's dropping the re-recording of Reputation soon? 🤡) — it'll be grossly satisfying to watch the progress and the results will be mindblowing!
www.amazon.com
Lavinso is a small business!
Promising review:"These foot masks work as stated. You wear the masks (bags, basically) for about an hour. A week or so later, your feet will peel so much they look like zombie feet! Both my daughter and I have used these, so it's not just me. I will say that, depending on the condition of your feet, one application may not be enough. One application did improve my feet about 50%, but I plan to use the masks once a month until the three-pack is gone. That should greatly improve my feet by sandal season! I will definitely purchase again, as needed." — Trisha
Get it from Amazon for $14.36 (available in four styles).
38. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence that might actually be the nectar of the skincare gods — it soothes damaged skin, repairs dark spots, absorbs quickly, and will leave your face feeling delightfully moisturized.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Um...WOW! I have used so many products to help with my dry, red, and inflamed skin. During the winter it is so hard to keep my skin moisturized through out the day. Within two days I saw such a huge difference. So calming and gives you a nice, moisturized glow. I feel so much better knowing my skin is healing. I will use this in my routine for the rest of my life!" — Christina A.
Get it from Amazon for $18.80+ (available in two sizes).
39. Rhode Pineapple Refresh Daily Cleanser featuring a refreshing green tea extract and pineapple enzyme (soft, clean, skin coming right up!). Your face is going to feel like a fresh summer morning even when the weather outdoors says otherwise.
Rhode
I've tried out this face wash from Rhode (ya' know, Hailey Bieber's brand?), and it left my skin feeling soft, renewed, and fresh. Definitely keeping it in my morning and night skincare rotation!
Promising review: " Amazing! I tried the sample, and that was so good, so I ordered it for some gifts for friends!" — Mia
Get it from Rhode for $30 (also available in a mini size).
40. Supergoop Glowscreen — it actually protects skin (hellooooo SPF 40👋) while making it shimmer just like Edward freakin' Cullen in the sunlight.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I adore this sunscreen! I'm very fair skinned and prone to getting sunburnt, so I have to stay very on top of applying SPF at all times. This one isn't greasy at all, blends in immediately, and LITERALLY adds shimmery sparkles wherever its applied. I truly don't even mind putting it on — it's a welcome addition to my skincare routine.
Promising review:"I absolutely love this sunscreen. I'm always wary of 'for everyone' tinted products because they aren't usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. The video and pics are in direct sunlight so you can see it in full effect. For reference, I have combination, thirty-something-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." — Lovely91
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes and four shades).
41. Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 Repairing Treatment, designed to help strengthen all hair types (it treats each strand on a molecular level!) and restore your locks back to a beautiful, shiny, Disney Princess–like state.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'm so amazed by Opalex No 3! Literally in just one treatment, I noticed a huge difference in my hair. My 3c hair had gotten very dry and damaged and was looking horrible. I can't believe the difference already in just one treatment. The number of compliments I got this week about how healthy my hair looked was amazing! I'm planning on continuing to do a weekly treatment for the next few weeks. It's expensive, and I used a third of the bottle for one treatment, but it's absolutely worth it! Nothing else has ever worked this well for me." — Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $30.
42. A moisturizing saline gel that'll help everyone and anyone fight the good fight against their biggest springtime allergies nemesis — a drippy, chapped nose.
www.amazon.com
For some added clarity, this product should be carefully applied under your nose and around your nostrils (not inside or up your nose!). It sadly won't get rid of *all* your nasal woes, but it will help provide relief from irritation and chapping (a gift in itself).
Promising review: "My girlfriend had recommended this product to me, and I only purchased a very small tube, not knowing if I would be satisfied or not. It really IS a good product. In the winter, my nose gets dry from the heat and humidity, and I need something to moisturize it. This product really IS excellent. I purchased a small tube, not knowing if I would like it or not, and I do. It's not costly, helps you, and is well worth the price." — SB
Get it from Amazon for $3.62.
43. A Take-n-Slide medication tracker you'll pat yourself on the back for investing in on the all-too-frequent super busy days when you haven't even had a chance to sit down, let alone recall if you took your pills properly.
www.amazon.com
Take-n-Slide is a small business specializing in tools that make it easy to keep track of medications. They also offer a vitamin tracker, pet med tracker, and multi-dose tracker.
See it in action on TikTok.
Promising review:"How did I live without these? If pill boxes are just not working for you or your loved ones, and the automated dispensers are prohibitively expensive, do give these a try! I've been using them for a week now and have a lot of relief in seeing for certain whether the pill has been taken." — GingerSnap
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors and in a two-pack).
44. A practical folding treadmill you can place right under your desk to get your steps in while tuning into yet another meeting that could've been an email — no more letting Martha from finance rob you of your precious time! Get ready to crush your work *and* fitness goals all at once.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I love this walking pad; it's easy to use as it has a remote and mobile app. Depending on your preference, you can slow it down or speed it up. On the mobile app, you can track steps. It has a nice safety feature where it stops running if you step off of it while walking. It's very quiet. I love that it folds in half and I can store it away. It's not too heavy to move it. It's perfect for home office and being active throughout the day." — Mehri Umbreit
Get it from Amazon for $399 (clip the coupon on the product page to save $50).
45. A fruit-infuser water bottle for anyone who simply can't bring themselves to drink enough water because, honestly, it's a little boring. This one will allow you to give it a much-needed boost of flavor. It'll taste like you're relaxing at the spa even if you're stuck in rush hour traffic or perusing the aisles of Target.
Britt Ross / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com
It comes with an insulation sleeve, cleaning brush, and recipe booklet!
Former BuzzFeed writer Britt Ross adores this water bottle: "I am one of the aforementioned people who has, until recently, gone through life thinking, 'Why would I drink water when there are other beverages that actually taste good to be had?' Well, I received this gizmo as a birthday gift from my water-loving husband as a not-so-subtle hint to change my ways, and lo and behold, it's been a revelation. I often have lemon remnants left over from cooking and baking, and they're the perfect things to throw into the infuser section of the bottle to liven things up. It's amazing what a little fruitiness can do — I can guzzle a whole bottle easily! Plus, it's much easier to clean than you'd think (each section comes apart, and there's an included brush!), and there's a grippy section on the side so it doesn't slip out of your hand. Oh, and did I mention it has not ever leaked?! 10/10, no notes, buy it NOW!!!"
Promising review: "This water bottle is my new best friend! Really, I don't leave the house without it. It's helping me drink more water, and I love that I can use all the parts of fruit to flavor my water, no waste! The bottle is easy to clean, and the handle is perfect for when you have your hands full. Very happy with my purchase!" — Laura L.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors).
46. A portable pack of soap sheets, because entering a public bathroom is grime-y enough without having to worry, "will there be soap left in the dispenser???" These will melt away in your hands and ensure they'll be squeaky clean.
Amazon
Promising review:"I'm thrilled to have purchased these! Amazing soap sheets. The scents are not overwhelming. I have sensitive skin and does not irritate my skin. Hands feel soft, and clean and smells great. My 6-year-old son loves these. With pretty much everything still closed down, due to COVID-19, we have been doing a lot more outdoor activities. It's nice to have soap handy when in the middle of hiking or biking and need to wash your hands before eating lunch. I would strongly recommend these soap sheets." — Ann
Get three packs of 100 sheets each from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in lemon, orange, lavender, a variety pack of the three scents, or unscented).
47. And a trio of Touchland spray hand sanitizers that'll make banishing germs seem trendy! Everyone's gonna want a spritz once they see you pulling this handy-dandy sanitizer out of your bag.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
I have so many of these hand sanitizers and am such a big fan. They all smell divine, leave my hands feeling nourished (and clean!) and don't dry out my hands the way other more liquid-y sanitizers do. They're a must-have for my car, my diaper bag, and my purse.
Promising review:"Smells great, adorable packaging, and great for home, work, or on the go! I'm an elementary school teacher, so I use mine on the regular for all the little coughs and sneezes!" — Sarah
