Buzz Feed7 days ago
A bottle of Happy Hair People leave-in conditioner if your hair is damaged from color, sun, or just ~existing~ in 2025. (🙋🏻‍♀️) My hair was dry and hay-like on the ends, but no more with this miracle leave-in treatment! Just leave it on your tresses for about 10 minutes after showering and voila! Also: It really *does* smell amazinggggg. It's like a lil' (happy) treat for taking good care of your hair!
Promising reviews: "This product smells amazing and has made my dry, coarse hair feel considerably softer without feeling sticky or greasy. I really like it!" —chicagomom123"Smells like a dream. Reminds me of a lush scent. It is water based so it doesn't leave my hair oily; does a very good job at hydrating the hair throughout the day. I even apply it on second-day hair and it doesn't buildup or make it oily." —SPrice: $7.99
A Sun Bum hydrating sunburn lotion because being in your 30s means you simply do not have *time* for a sunburn. But if you forgot to reapply sunscreen poolside, use this stuff STAT to hydrate and soothe your grumpy skin!
Promising review: "Absolutely love this item! I have used it for our last couple of vacations and l use it at home when I have a sunburn or anything. It helped minimize the peeling afterwards and made it feel super moisturized." —Het03Price: $11.99
A Hydro Flask travel bottle to make sure no matter where your summer romps lead you, you've got a way to get a quick hydration boost right in your cupholder. (And the carrying handle means this will be the *perfect* summer hiking buddy!)
Price: $44.99 (available in eight colors)
Some Burt's Bees overnight intensive lip treatment if you're tired of waking up with crusty lips ~or~ if your pout got a lil' crispy from the summer sun. This ultra-conditioning lip mask is made with natural ceramides and vitamin E to help give your lips the spa day (er, night) that they deserve so you can have perfectly smooth lips all summer long.
Promising reviews: "I tried this for a couple of weeks and it stopped my lips from peeling. I would put it on every night before bed and wipe off in the morning. It made my lips so soft! When I didn't use it for a couple of weeks my lips started to dry and peel during the day again. This really helped! I would definitely recommend!" —Vanessa"This took my very chapped and sore lips back to normal in one night." —MJKPrice: $8.99
A bag of Dr. Teal's Epsom salt sleep soak, which belongs by the bathtub of any sleep-lover keen on perfecting their shuteye conditions. This salt smells divine, and with a blend of lavender, chamomile, and melatonin, it *may* just help make you feel a little calmer before bedtime. (And help with a sunburn if you were in the sun a little too long!)

And read more about how an Epsom salt soak or bath can help with mental stress at Cleveland Clinic.Promising reviews: "I love to use these melatonin bath salts every night." —Petty"I LOVE the Dr. Teal's bath products. A little spa retreat in my own tub without spending a fortune!" —KKTargetPrice: $5.89
A pack of Ecos laundry detergent sheets I use in my home AND abroad. I packed some of these as an "eh, might as well" in my carry-on and ended up using them to do an emergency load of laundry in a hotel sink. Highly recommend.
Going on a summer road trip? Heading to Europe like the rest of America? Take these along for the ride — you never know when you need to do an emergency load in the hotel sink! HUGE plus: The box they come in is recyclable and there's no individual wrapping on the sheets. Promising review: "Works great. No residue on clothes or washer. Smells nice. Really cleans the clothes and helps with stains." —MapgottschallPrice: $15.99 for 64-pack (available in two scents)
A Kerasel fungal nail renewal treatment because while we love Shrek, we don't exactly want his nail routine, especially during summer sandal season. This magic stuff helps reduce discoloration and thickness, as well as hydrate and exfoliate brittle nails to get them back on track to being ✨shiny✨ and strong.
Promising review: "I noticed my big toe had nail fungus, so I tried this treatment. I've been applying it twice daily and after just 18 days, my nail looks much better. I thought it would take longer, but it's already improving." —IvyPrice: $19.99
A Bug Bite Thing insect bite suction tool to relieve itchy bites and stings from insects out for their big spring and summer ouchie hoorahs. No need to broadcast that you forgot to reapply bug spray to the world: Those meddling insects can ~suck it~. (Or at least your new tool can!)
Promising review: "It ONLY works if you use it right away, but it DOES work. People who say it doesn't work are likely waiting too long. You have to keep it with you and use it as soon as you feel the bite. That's the trick to it. Great product." —FeralHousewifePrice: $9.99
A K-Beauty snail mucin essence I've not gone without since 2020 because this is a GOOD bandwagon to be on, trust me. This was a big part of the popular glass skin movement on TikTok, but all I care about is that it helps tame my adult acne flareups and fits seamlessly into my morning (and evening!) skincare routines, no matter how melting-hot it is outside.
Promising review: "This is very hydrating. My bedtime moisturizer wouldn't leave me feeling very hydrated, but after adding this into my bedtime routine my skin feels nice and moisturized for the night!" —Emily Price: $8.50+ (available in two sizes)
A box of sleep earplugs designed specifically to be comfortable for sleeping and to block out the dog barking next door, your own dog snoring beside you, car horns, and all that annoying, not the vibe ambient sounds keeping you from super deep sleep. Perfect for road trips, sleeps in strange (LOUD) hotels, and everything in-between.
Promising review: "Love how affordable and effective these are. I keep these in my travel bag and they've been life savers since I'm a light sleeper." —TtPrice: $3.49
A pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatments that will finally break you of your pimple-popping habit because these work so much better and leave your face less red. Just put them on for six hours or so (I use mine at night) and watch as they work their gunk-removal magic! No pimples in sight to ruin your summer Insta dump.
Promising review: "Hero is the only brand of pimple patches that actually work for me. These pimple patches are part of my necessity items in my bathroom drawer and I carry a few with me when I travel. One patch will help dry a pimple up and these patches work fast. No more popping, picking or scarring!" —VolMom2025Price: $8.99+ (available in two pack sizes)
An Aveeno foot mask if your feet are dry, dry, dry from all that sandal wearing. Get them back into tip-top shape by giving them their own personal spa day while you relax on the couch and catch up on your fave shows.
Pro tip from someone who loves these: Keep them on for a full 30 minutes. There is SO much product in these little booties — give your feet a chance to fully soak them up and then wring out the extra when you're done and give yourself a foot massage. My feet are SO soft after using these and I always have some on hand in my cabinet. Promising review: "Adding to my weekly routine. I've done foot peels and they help but not before a week of sloughing. This is a 10-minute deep conditioning that left my feet super soft and moisturized. Next time I'll use after a proper soak and scrub and expect to have silky soft feet. Well worth the money if you do pedis at home." —DailyJuicerPrice: $3.69
And Aveeno hand masks so your paws can also get in on the pampering action. Nobody wants to fess up to crummy cuticles and flaky fingers, but this will help rehab your hands so you don't even have to mention them before ~they're gone~. (The flakes and crumbs, obviously. Not your hands.)
Promising review: "First off super easy to use, not messy at all. I was skeptical because my hands get so dry that they crack and bleed. I put these on and instantly felt relief. I hardly recognized my hands when I took them off! Smooth and pain free! Life changing! I'm stocking up on these bad boys!!!" —MommaBirdPrice: $3.69
A stick of Megababe's Thigh Rescue I can *personally* testify works anti-chafing miracles after wearing it for many a task in Texas heat. I've tried a few other brands, but always end up back at Megababe because it lasts the longest and isn't grossly greasy.
A pair of Proof overnight period underwear for those nights when you've got a heavy flow but don't wanna bother with tampons or pads. (Which feels like insult to injury when it's already hot outside.) Just slip these on and rest comfortably knowing that your beautiful sheets are safe!
Promising reviews: "Where have these been all my womanly years?!? Sleeping in dreadful pads no longer! Tested them on a heavy night and NO leakage. I am so happy to have this comfortable option." —Realtor Mo"Excellent quality. It's really absorbent, doesn't look bulky." —BelloPrice: $24.99 (available in sizes S–XL)
A set of acupressure anti-nausea wristbands if motion sickness has plagued you down for years and enough is finally enough. These work by applying pressure to your wrist, which might just help with car sickness and nausea. Life is stressful enough without wanting to gag at the thought of getting on a plane, train, or in a car, so do yourself a favor and throw these in your cart so you can then throw them in your bag!
Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.Promising reviews: "Traveled during 7–8 weeks of pregnancy, and these saved my life more than a couple of times. Highly recommend." —Sbrown9412"These are LIFE-CHANGING for me!!!! I get SO car sick all the time even just staring forward. Driving through the mountains and winding roads while having to work on my laptop, and somehow I'm not car sick while wearing these. Buy them!!!!!! So much better than taking meds." —YummmPrice: $8.59 for a two-pack
A pair of Tweezerman slant tweezers so you can kiss stray eyebrow hairs, chin hairs, and everywhere-in-between hairs a not-so-fond farewell. If you can't beat 'em, pluck 'em! That's my motto, especially when you're taking summer travel pics.
Also perfect for throwing in your carry-on for on-the-go touchups! Promising reviews: "I will never buy another brand of tweezers. Love Tweezerman. Precise, sharp, excellent quality." —R"I recently bought this tweezer to replace my old Tweezerman pair that I had had for over five years. These are just as good as my old ones. I won't use any other brand! They do the job!" —maggie92Price: $22.05+ (available in three colors)
A Dove 72-hour deodorant that helped me get rid of that weird armpit discoloration for good and keeps me from sweating and smelling in Texas summers. (I can't stress how high of praise this is for anything that has to go up against 100+ degree heat on the regular.)
It's formulated with "Pro-Ceramide Technology," which works to help replenish and strengthen your skin's natural barrier by potentially boosting ceramide levels (which naturally reduce when you shave) to keep shaving and heat-caused redness away!Promising review: "Hands down my favorite deodorant! Lasts all day, no residue, and smells so nice. Worth the price." —Target CustomerPrice: $6.99
Some Cure Hydration electrolyte powder mixes in a delish berry pomegranate flavor if you are always forgetting to hydrate yourself on the daily. These will help make drinking water ~delicious~ and help keep you guzzlin' if you usually forget while you're on the move!
FYI, water may be enough to rehydrate you, depending on your situation! Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic. These are genuinely my most FAVORITE electrolyte packets. The flavors are great and don't have that gritty taste other brands have. Price: $13.99 (available in more flavors)
A three-pack of dermaplaning razors so you can shape your brows, remove unwanted facial hair, or exfoliate your face on the cheap. (I'd make a hair pun here, but perhaps I should just cut it out...and put these in my cart already.) Summer is *not* the time to be battling with body hair.
Promising reviews: "The blade is sharp, and I love that each one comes with a safety cover. Great for at home dermaplaning." —PTC"These work way better than any other dermaplaning tool I've used. I haven't got cut from them yet (hopefully I don't jinx myself!) Other brands would always cut my face no matter what technique I used or how gentle I was." —RagamuffinPrice: $7.69
A Hyland's topical salve with so many applications, you'd be a silly goose not to have this on hand. Ingrown hairs, splinters, bug bites, and boils... This salve is basically a magic potion ready to aid you at every turn. If you're outside a lot more because of the weather (and getting more splinters because of it) you deserve this in your cart.
Promising reviews: "If you get stubborn under-the-skin pimples, try this! It works so well when applied consistently." —30 something mama"I put this on overnight for any stubborn under skin pimple. The stuff is a must have." —Mel MPrice: $6.99
A warm vanilla-scented Eva NYC dry shampoo because we as a society should not be punished with strong artificial smells and sticky roots for getting rid of our greasy hair. Enhanced with vitamin C and fatty acids, this will actually nourish your hair and make it smell amazing! (And help you not make every single day a wash day this summer, tbh.)
Promising review: "Tried this for the first time today and I absolutely love it! Works great and smells amazing!" —AnnabellePrice: $13.99
A cult-favorite Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that's an internet standby for a reason: It really *does* soak up extra oils your skin makes throughout the day without ruining your makeup. A true MVP, tbh, and especially helpful if you tend to be oilier in the heat.
Promising review: "As a very oily girl, this product is AMAZING!! I keep it in my purse at all times, and it's so easy to just pull out, roll around the face where you have oil and just throw back in your purse! In my experience it doesn't take off your makeup, and it's also really easy to wash and it dries fast! This is a game changer for me!" —agf99Price: $13.99
A waterproof pouch your phone thanks you for in advance because it does *not* wish to engage directly in water adventures, but it does want to still tag along from a safe, dry pouch that still allows you to take photos and use the touchscreen.
Promising review: "This is the only 'waterproof' phone pouch that doesn't leak, and the closure is amazing. You just drop it in and let it go. It snaps shut on its own." —Target Customer"Nothing to dislike! I bought this to protect my phone during a kayak trip, and it did the job!" —ElizabethRosePrice: $11.69
A Kitsch satin pillowcase which can help prevent hair breakage and uncomfortable fabric bunches that can contribute to fine lines, but is also ~super~ cooling. If you've ever wished for someone to always have a cool side of the pillow, time to return the favor to your own human self!
Promising review: "This pillowcase is amazing! I love that it has a zip closure so the pillow stays in place." —Cat MomPrice: $18.99+ (available in six colors)
A pack of Kitsch itty bitty claw clips if you're like me and *just not good* at using bobby pins but still want a quick, easy way to tuck just a lil' bit of hair into a cute hold. Summer is sweaty enough without baby hairs touching your forehead!
Promising review: "These are great! They are a little larger than most you find and they have a wonderful, suede feel to them that stay in hair well. These even work for my extra fine hair." —StegsPrice: $8 for a 16-pack
A set of retro striped crew socks to bring a touch of colorful '80s fashion into your wardrobe. Pair them with some white lace-up sneakers for the kind of look that will definitely get you into The Breakfast Club.
This style is MEGA popular right now, but don't be fooled into paying designer prices when Target has theme ready to go in a cheap three-pack!Promising review: "I think these socks are great. I don't like thick socks, so they are perfect for me. They do run a little big in the foot for me, but not at all a deal breaker for what ends up being less than $3 per pair. They also stay up nicely." —MplsMamaPrice: $10 for a pack of three (available in two color sets and fits women's shoe sizes 4–10)
A sling crossbody bag if you want a hands-free existence while you go on new adventures. (Trust me, you totally do.) This one comes with an adjustable strap for the perfect fit, plus plenty of easy-access zippered compartments so you can keep all your essentials handy.
Promising reviews: "I recently traveled out of town, and this crossbody was so helpful! I wore it with almost everything. So many compartments and I was able to just throw on." —Mesha"I was looking for something to fulfill the need of carrying around my wallet, keys, phone, wipes, and a few snacks since my children are older now, and I don't want to carry around a giant diaper bag. This was perfect, and I really liked the style and material. As previously mentioned, if you are looking for something to hold a water bottle, the side pocket will NOT do that, but it works perfectly for hand sanitizer and sunglasses." —JordanPrice: $18 (available in two colors)
A set of three Rifle Paper Co. magnetic bookmarks so you always know where you left off in your summer TBR in the prettiest, floral-iest way possible. These beat that crumpled receipt you've been using by MILES.
If you need a new book to read, take this quiz to get the perfect, tailored-to-you rec!Promising review: "Super cute! I gave them to a friend for her birthday, and she loves them! I'm going to buy some for myself!" —StephaniePrice: $4.99
A set of JLab wireless Bluetooth earbuds because if you are constantly losing, washing, or otherwise mismanaging your expensive brand pair, these are the ticket. Reviewers SWEAR BY them for durability and sound quality. (Just check out that 4.3-star rating with over 6,000 reviews!) And hot summer walks *are not* the time to be without your fave playlist.
Sometimes the fanciest thing you can do for yourself is get the affordable version so you don't have to stress about them taking an accidental bath in the washing machine, you know?Promising review: "I bought these in December, and they are still charging, and still sound good after going through the washer TWICE. I thought I would need a new pair but after drying them and charging they are working fine. There might be a slight difference in quality, but nothing too noticeable based on what I use them for. If I need a new pair of earbuds in the future, I will definitely buy these again. 💯" —SalamiPrice: $24.99 (available in eight colors)

A pair of beach socks to keep your feet protected from the hot-to-the-touch sand, turf, or rocks when you're attempting to enjoy a nice day on the water.

And don't worry, it effortlessly collapses with the push of a button when you finally get some cool refuge in the aquarium!

This even has a built-in bench and cup holders, so you can enjoy a cold beverage while you soak. A pack of weather-resistant plant supports to help your larger plants stay upright with a sturdy steel frame. It's green, so no one has to know your hydrangeas are getting some assistance.

The bestselling Essence Lash Princess mascara, a long-lasting, flake- and clump-free mascara that adds some serious length to your lashes.

A two-pack of dark spot fading bar soap boasting a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse that can help even skin tone and reduce dark spots on your face, neck, and body if that's something you're looking to do. Say buh-bye to buying swim shorts if your inner thighs bother you (they certainly don't need to, we're pro embracing your dark spots!). A popular Cupshe two-piece bikini with over 10,000 5-star ratings because it's cute and comfortable! The faux-wrap top is designed with a self-tie closure for easy customization, and the bottoms have a similar lace-up design to make sure it fits like it was created just for you. You'll wear this once and then probably come back to buy another! A heat-activated anti-frizz treatment — you can't predict the weather, and you definitely can't predict when frizz is going to literally cramp your style!

A roll of faux ivy, which adds extra privacy to your boring fence, railing or trellis.

A heat-resistant steering wheel cover to keep your hands comfortable on those days when you car has just been baking in the driveway or parking lot and the wheel is literally too hot to touch. The faux leather design offers a non-slip grip and protects your wheel from fading and getting too hot or cold because of the elements.

A standing weed puller with three steel claws to grip weeds *and* roots, so you can pull them out without bending over. If tending to your beloved garden also means becoming painfully aware that you're getting older — cracking knees, sore back, calluses — you're going to fall in love with this must-have tool! And a crack weeder tool made of stainless steel and designed to reach deep into those annoying narrow sidewalk spaces to extract weeds, moss, thistles, and other invasive greenery that you can't get to with your bare hands. This will make your sun-baked Sunday afternoon gardening so much easier, and help relieve some of the stress on your back and knees from pulling weeds yourself! A hands-free bladeless personal fan to wear around your neck and keep you cool as you make your way through your favorite theme park where the temperatures are even higher because of all the heat bouncing off the concrete. 🥵 It features three speeds and 60 outlets to help cool down your neck and face for up to nine hours!

This lightweight, protective balm is perfect for wearing underneath your makeup because it delivers a matte finish and zero white cast! A set of lightweight racerback tanks because most places require a shirt even on those ridiculously humid days when the thinnest piece of clothing you own clings to your skin. The oversized arm holes and racerback design mean there's less fabric, so you'll feel cooler when you're sweating like the dickens! An airtight cold-brew maker just perfect for iced coffee fanatics who want to save a couple of dollars and more than a few midday trips braving the summer heat to re-up from the local cafe. This nifty kitchen gadget allows you to become your new favorite barista, whipping up iced coffees, lattes, chai, and more without leaving the comfort of your home. An ice roller to help de-stress your skin and remove puffiness with a few rolls across your cheeks, eyes, and forehead. This innovative tool can be popped in the fridge or freezer, and then it's ready for use! Plus, it can even offer some relief for sinus pain or migraines. Pro-tip: roll it over your favorite sheet mask for a super soothing sensation! A portable 100-inch movie screen, so you can skip using the side of the house for summer movie night. This freestanding screen sets up effortlessly, making it perfect for a late-night showing of your favorite Disney movies — time to get some popcorn! A versatile maxi dress if you're already over having your legs out just because the weather is nice. You'll still look very stylish and even remain a little cooler without having to worry about the sun heating up your entire body while you're out at the neighborhood community festival enjoying a lemon shake up. It even has pockets! An E.l.f. color corrector for camouflaging unfortunate sunburn discoloration or under-eye circles after a long night at cruise karaoke blemishes without caking or creasing your foundation and concealer. There are five different shades for complexion-specific correcting, including a green for concealing redness and a peach for correcting dark spots on medium skin tones. A set of satin pillowcases, which are great for your skin *and* hair because the silky material helps lessen friction, meaning reduced damage to your tresses and salon looks that'll actually last! Plus, it's cooler than your typical polyester or cotton blend, making it perfect for sweaty and hot sleepers. Plus, a set of breathable rayon made from bamboo bed sheets to make it seem less like you're snoozing next to a radiator (whether that's your human or pet companion) thanks to a lightweight, moisture-wicking material. Hot sleepers rejoice! You won't have to wake up in a pool of sweat every night or change your sheets every morning! And a cool-to-the-touch rayon fabric made from bamboo sleep set, which is so breathable and comfortable, you won't have to count sheep to fall comfortably asleep on those extra stuffy nights when your emotional support fan, ceiling fan, and AC just aren't getting that third floor bedroom cool enough. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner because you deserve to admire the view from your windows instead of looking through streaks of bird poop, pollen dust, any lingering winter sludge scum, and bug spatters. This concentrated cleaner is connects to your hose and delivers a streak-free clean, so you don't have to bother with a ladder! Just rinse it off after spraying. A wide-leg linen-blend jumpsuit that'll get you through all the summer functions because it's so versatile. Dress it up with a jean jacket when it's time to head out for dinner on a patio or wear it solo with your favorite wedges for a midday picnic. Ugh, in love! A retro-style cornhole set to elevate your backyard entertainment options during those warm summer nights when the family would rather be outside than stationed in front of the TV. You can choose your own bag colors and enjoy a little friendly competition while the fire is being built for s'mores! A lightweight, full-coverage gel primer featuring an ultra-moisturizing blend of collagen and green tea extracts, which help tighten pores, control excess sebum, and smooth over uneven texture. Even on the hottest of days you won't have to worry about your foundation melting off your face like a Salvador Dalí painting. A plunging V-neck one-piece — it has flirty mesh accents on the top and bodice to add a little *lowers glasses* to your pool day style. And like the reviewer on the left, just throw on some jean shorts if you need to run down the ice cream truck for one of those wonky-eyes Powerpuff Girl bars, LOL. A pair of reusable and waterproof silicone nipple covers that magically disappear your nipples or piercings from being visible though your shirts or dresses with seamless coverage that stays put! You'll be able to wear your favorite strapless or backless outfits without worrying about stubborn bra straps, and if you're a member of the tig 'ol bitty committee — you can even get Nippies that offer lift. An outdoor misting system you can install underneath your pergola, triangle sun shades, or patio umbrella to enjoy a cooling fine mist when the weather really feels like you're boiling alive. All you need is a garden hose to attach it to and then clip it wherever you want, and you'll feel like an expensive organic veggie in the produce aisle on those balmy summer afternoons. Or an adjustable mister — it can bend to your preference for an enjoyable mist that'll cool you off by up to 20 degrees as you lounge about in the sun. As someone without a porch or pool, this ranks highly on my wishlist for me and my outdoor-lovin' pup to enjoy our little city oasis (aka tiny backyard). A pair of breathable bamboo gloves to keep your hands comfortable and protected as you tend to your garden. The bamboo fibers help keep hands cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold, plus the fingertips are reinforced, so you won't get pricked by any thorns! A gas firepit table featuring blue glass to make your bonfire gatherings a lot more cozy and ethereal. It also comes with a covered lid, so you can use it as a dependable table top when the fire isn't going!

33 Useful Products You Wish You Had Ages Ago

A neck and shoulder relaxer that may look a at first glance, but it's here to help soothe neck stiffness and shoulder tension in as little as 10 minutes. If you find yourself hunched over your laptop and your neck and shoulders are practically screaming for relief, this was made for you. A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag if you're tired of the struggle that comes with storing clothes every time the seasons change. These bags can compress even the bulkiest items into a neat little package. Just stick your clothes inside, zip it up, roll the bag, and watch the air get squished out, magically shrinking your clothes. A set of family-friendly pastel "unbreakable" deep plates that are so practical, they basically pay for themselves.
