From shower curtains with built-in storage pockets to toy hammocks that clear cluttered floor space — these organizers are the best of the best.
1. A set of glass storage canisters because your poor pasta, coffee beans, and sweet treats shouldn't have to suffer in their ugly paper boxes that take up valuable space in your pantry. When they're in this ~airtight~ set, a spot on your countertop will be well-deserved! You'll get five variously sized canisters, each with a silicone ring on the included bamboo lids to ensure things stay nice and fresh.
Amazon
This set includes a 11.8", 8", 6.6", 5", and 4" canisters.
Promising reviews:"Very simple and elegant canisters. The adhesive works great and locks the jars very well. Adds a great touch to the kitchen and exactly as pictured." — Anela
"These canisters are beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. The seal on the lids works great, and the glass isn't too thin, which is what I worried about when researching containers. I love the variety of container sizes in this set. We will definitely be purchasing these again. They are an organizer's dream!" — Kathy C
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
2. A macrame toy hammock to store allll of your kiddo's growing stuffed animal collection while keeping the floor clear and free of clutter. These hammocks are large (one can hold up to 50 stuffies!), durable, and can be hung in three different ways — so feel free to pile on all the Squishmallows, carnival wins, and favorite teddies into one place. Those typical toy nets are so blah, but this I can get behind!
Each hammock comes with LED star lights and a set-up kit complete with three hooks and anchors.
TidyTeds is a family-owned small business founded by a mom in need of an attractive storage solution for her son's overflowing toy collection.
Promising review: "SO cute, SO high quality. My partner and I own a lot of stuffed animals. They were taking over the entire house. Stuffies EVERYWHERE! I was not expecting this to be so beautiful and sturdy in person, and I couldn't be happier! I love that it came with a string light and star stickers, too. Absolutely precious. I don't have kids, but I'm a kid at heart, and this was everything I could hope for! It saves us so much room, and it looks so nice! It's high quality, thick material. I love that it comes in my favorite shade of gra,y and it holds a stupendous amount of plushies with no issues." — Skye
Get it from Amazon for $30.59+ (available in six colors).
3. A set of two nesting storage tables because these babies can be used as both chic side tables and a place to store extra home goods. Extra throw blankets, meet your new home 🤝 .
Promising review:"My husband and daughter were asking for end tables for our new living room, but I didn't want to have two more pieces of furniture to dust just to hold beverages during television viewing. I found these nesting tables on Amazon and decided to give them a try because the small one nests in the larger one when it's not being used, and I can store an extra blanket inside so there isn't clutter on my couch. They are light and easy to maneuver in the room and the perfect height to sit next to our couch wherever a family member needs them.... these tables are attractive, convenient, lightweight, and functional. I would definitely buy again." — Chris S.
Get it from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in five colors/styles).
4. A vanity organizer with a magnetic strip so there'll be no more loose bobby pins around the house. This set comes with three removable compartments and one tray to hold it all.
Promising review:"This organizer has been a great way to corral all my skincare products on my counter. I can stand up sheet masks in one of the small boxes and line up the products in order of their use in the other boxes. Keeps everything neat and tidy." — Ashley
Get it from Target for $25.
5. A stylish garment rack with shelves because they can be used for multiple things! Many reviewers use the three shelves for shoes, books, plants, or just extra home decor to spruce up the room (something you can't do with the normal clothes rack options out there).
Promising review:"I've had this rack for a few months now, and I'm so happy with it! My room was lacking something to fill in the plain space, and this garment hanger filled it perfectly and made my room look SO much better! Not only that but as [someone] with barely any experience assembling any furniture of any sort, it was quite simple to assemble!... It's also quite sturdy. It holds all my decor with no problem and displays them so well. Lastly, it's also very easy to maneuver. The rack included little pads to stick on the bottom of the legs, making it easy to move across my wood floors without scratching or damaging the surface. If you're searching for a stylish, easy-to-assemble, sturdy, and easily transportable rack for your bedroom, this product is the way to go! Highly recommend." — Kyle Bonares
Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in nine styles and in colors black or white).
6. A wineglass rack you can put anywhere in your home: on the bar cart, under kitchen cabinets, under shelves — you name it. Rather than take up precious counter space, your stemmed wine, cocktail, and champagne glasses will be floating above with such easy-to-grab access that it'll feel custom.
BTW, one rack can hold up to nine standard-size glasses.
Promising reviews:"Overall, very pleased with the product. Found some floating shelves to match a cabinet. Then added these to make my custom wine stem rack. Quality is better than expected, and love the darker finish and not the standard Chrome option. These also were the right size for the width and depth of the Shelf. So far, I've gotten several compliments." — Ms Lila
"The perfect answer to wineglass storage. I liked this storage solution for my wineglasses so much that I ordered a second rack. I put them in a cupboard, and with this rack, I no longer worry about them getting knocked out and broken." — Pamela Hubbard
Get three racks from Amazon for $17.91+ (available in four colors).
7. A silverware sorter because it takes up very little space in your drawer but can fit up to 24 pieces of cutlery. Rather than digging through a cluttered (and kinda dangerous?) drawer of sharp utensils, this will make it easy to keep things orderly and organized at all times. The possibilities with the extra space you'll have are endless!
amazon.com
Promising review:"I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons, etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over facedown in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" — mialro
Get it from Amazon for $8.89 (available in two sizes and four styles).
PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $8.24.
8. And some adjustable drawer dividers you can use to organize cooking utensils or coffee pods in the kitchen, clothing in your bedroom, and office supplies in your desk. They come in a set of eight, each featuring nonslip rubber padding at the ends to ensure they don't move or scratch up your drawers.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I had three kitchen drawers full of mixed utensils all crowded together. I inserted two drawer dividers in each drawer, and the result was amazing. Everything is organize,d and the dividers were simple to install and re-adjustable as needed." — gramto 6
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).
9. A cap organizer because it easily wraps around a hanger or clothes rack (things you already own — yay!). It's great for baseball hats, sun hats, neckties, and scarves.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each cap organizer can hold up to 10 items.
Promising review:"The product does the job of organizing our hats while taking such a small amount of space. It's great for small apartments and small closets with limited space! The clips also do not damage the hats, which I appreciate." — violanicole
Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in multi-packs).
10. Or a boho-style hat hanger that'll turn your favorite accessory into a decoration. It comes with five knotted ropes with S hooks on the end and two leather straps on each side for easy hanging. *Immediately adds to cart*
Madhatters by Robyn / Etsy
Madhatters by Robyn is a woman-owned small biz based in Los Angeles. Each hat hanger is handmade to order!
Promising review: "Wow. This hatter is beautiful!!!! I can't wait to show it off. Robyn was nothing but kind, quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure my hatter arrived. Customer service was INCREDIBLE. Thank you, Robyn! Our apartment is now complete!" — sambelvin
Get it from Madhatters by Robyn on Etsy for $44+ (available in five configurations).
11. A sock and underwear organizer so awesome, you might just open the drawer and stare for fun. This set of four will make it waaaay easier to grab the *exact* pair of socks you're looking for and spot that one bra that fits you perfectly. It'll help maximize space in your dresser, too!
Promising review:"I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers, I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst-case scenario, I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD, and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best, cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" — Elizabeth L. Blackwell
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $14.97 (available in seven colors).
12. A double-sided tea organizer that frees up space in the cabinet. The smallest organizer option comes with four removable bins that can hold up to 80 teabags, too. The six-bin options (like the one shown below) can hold up to 120!! Time to toss all of those clunky tea boxes.👋
amazon.com
Promising review:"Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" — Sarah C.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
13. Shelf dividers to keep your closet and cabinets looking immaculate while also preventing things from toppling over when you grab from the bottom. (That saying "not all heroes wear capes" definitely applies here.)
amazon.com
Promising review:" If you need to Marie Kondo your closet, this is really useful, and it looks really nice. I got the grey ones. Bought two to see how they were. Perfect. Bought six more. Loving it!!! Really recommended this product, ready to install and very sturdy." — Nicolò R.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99.
14. A slim storage cart perfect for the space between the stove and fridge or between the washer and dryer. Because it has wheels, reviewers say it works great for small spaces and that they can store everything from canned foods to laundry detergent.
Amazon
I have this cart in black and it works perfectly for my kitchen! I have an awkwardly set-up kitchen, where the stove has no counter beside it, and there's no place for spices or utensils for easy access while I cook. This cart has more than enough room to hold all my spices, hot sauces, etc. And the last row is tall enough for my cooking sprays and oil bottles, too. The flat surface up top is where I hold my cooking utensils and spoon rest. It's saved me a major headache of moving back and forth in the kitchen! And because it's super slim and the same color as my stove, it blends in *perfectly*. It's 100% worth it in my book!
Promising review:"Love that this does not require assembly aside from attaching the wheels! I t's plenty sturdy enough. The wheels move great. I like that you can leave them to turn 360 or tighten them to only roll straight. I love the sleek design and that it has a solid front side to hide the clutter... I think this would be an amazing spice rack/small bottle storage for the pantry. All in all, a wonderful solution to my cluttered shelf!" — Barbara Neely Designs
Get it from Amazon for $145 (available in three colors).
Pssst... If you're looking for a slim storage cart on the lower end of the price range, check out this bestseller for $21.99. I actually use this one in my laundry room. It's plastic, but does the same job!
15. A stackable under-cabinet drawer so all of the cleaning supplies in the kitchen or beauty products in the bathroom aren't a cluttered mess and don't go tumbling every time you pull something out. The top shelf can hold your taller bottles, while the pull-out drawer is the perfect storage place for sponges, towels, and brushes you'll want to quickly grab. Some reviewers even use it to organize their food pantry! Basically, you've got options here.
Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy
Get it on Amazon for $25.97 (also available in bronze).
16. A broom and mop organizer that will transform your cleaning closet or storage area so that you're no longer tripping over the things that keep your house spick and span.

Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to the wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn
Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in four colors).
17. Handmade hanging baskets, because they can be used for mail, fruit, or even as a small planter (which gives this major bonus points IMO). While this three-tier gem may be ~cutesy~, it's actually pretty durable, too, and can hold up to 15 pounds.
Amazon
Snug Life is a Nevada-based small business that designs and handcrafts macrame home decor! Everything from placemats, shower curtains, hanging shelves, and more.
Promising review:"I love this produce basket! It's natural, sturdy, well-made, and gives my kitchen a little more character. Fits lots of large onions and tomatoes on the bottom tier, a couple of bags of small potatoes in the second one, and eventually, a little potted vine will go in the top. Use a toggle bolt to hang. The baskets are stretchy, too, due to the weave, so you can pack them full!" — Kelly Pate White
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
18. Cute storage crates that come in ~tons~ of adorable colors sure to make boring organization a thing of the past. In each set, you'll get three variously colored and easily collapsible crates, making it easy to store when not in use *and* easy to find things like your beauty items, pantry goodies, or small collectibles when organized by crate color!

BTW, these hangers can hold up to 30 pounds each! That's what I mean when I say "heavy duty!"
Promising review:" These hangers are a lifesaver. We just moved into a new small home, and our bedroom, along with our walk-in closet, is small. So we are not using dressers, and these hangers are perfect. They cut the amount of space you use to at least half, maybe more, depending on what items you are hanging. Paired these along with hanging shelves in the closet, and some storage cubes on the top closet shelves, and now we have everything stored in our closet perfectly and organized. Buy these! You won't be disappointed!" — Chantelle Schultz
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $19.90 (available in gray and white).

Amazon
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn
Get it from Amazon for $10.97+ (available in six colors).
25. A makeup organizer that won't clash with your vanity setup but will help you keep it from becoming an unruly mess by giving everything a proper place.

It's well made, has a stainless finish, and no sharp edges. It's mounted on the inside of my cabinet door, making it very convenient and freeing up some space in my cabinet.

If you want a modern, stylish, clean-looking shoe rack with a small footprint, this is the perfect selection!

Promising reviews: " Perfect for small spaces!... I have zero entryway due to how open my living room is.

Just bought my first house and was also tight on budget; this was very fairly priced and a solid solution to my issue. Love it!" — Jessica

I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes.

amazon.com
Promising review:"We are apartment living, so no one in the household could take a shower without crash/boom as you're knocking something down sitting on a shelf or the bathtub rim. This is a game-changer. There are so many pockets with so much room in each I actually have space left over. My husband's back scrubber, my shampoo and hair care, and my daughter's bubble baths and bath floofies all fit with room to spare. And the pockets are all a nice height, so I'm not crouching to find anything. The curtain is clear, so I didn't have to change the 'pretty' one for decorative purposes. I am super pleased." — goodnite.graci

I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did because these beat a box of hangers, hands down! I ordered two, one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about was which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tools for assembly. A great buy!" — KatieLee333

Promising review:"These are nice bags. I have used them for a couple of months now and am very satisfied with them. I fold my sweaters in one and use the other one for my blankets. They have plenty of room and are a good size. The plastic is thick, and the zippers work very well, and they have not given me a problem during this time frame. I am in and out of them several times a week every week. I have carried them using the reinforced handles with no mishaps. I like the dual zippers, too.
The window in them is nice. I can see my garments at a glance. That makes it nice. For me, they are just the right size. They are thick enough that they are not going to RIP or tear." — Yin & Yang

Promising review:"This has been a lifesaver for me! My purses are no longer all over the floor in my closet. They all fit nicely on here. I love this so much. The packaging was nice, and everything came in perfect condition. I have about 10 purses on it right no,w and it's really nice and strong. It fits on my door perfectly but you do have to push on the door a bit in order for it to fully close and open. However, that is not a problem for me at all. It's very easy for me to see all my purses now and my closet is no longer a mess. From other reviews I've seen, I know this can definitely hold a lot of weight and way more bags than I have on it.

I Swear By This Product For My Bathroom And Hallways — And It's Not Just For Kids

Few things ruin a night of sleep faster than waking up to pee in the middle of the night and turning on the blinding overhead light in your bathroom, jolting you awake and making it nearly impossible to fall back asleep once you're done. The same can be said for having to turn on the hallway light so you don't fall down the stairs in the dark when all you want is a midnight snack. Frankly, I had always assumed nightlights were for children who struggled with a fear of the dark. But when a previous roommate wordlessly put a nightlight in our apartment's shared bathroom, I quickly realized how subtly revolutionary these practical little gadgets are. I absolutely loved never having to turn on the overhead light late at night, so I could actually fall back asleep after a bathroom trip. I now swear by my GE rotational LED nightlights for my bathroom, kitchen and dark staircases, so much so that once I moved into a new place, I, too, wordlessly bought and plugged in nightlights of my own. I'm now on a self-proclaimed mission to convert everyone I know, because I'm truly convinced that they're a life hack. These nightlights come in a welcome two-pack (since once you realize how useful these are, one won't be enough anyway) and are light-sensing, so they stay off during the daytime and light up at dusk when a room grows dark. This style gives off 40 lumens of soft illumination so you can easily see and get around without hurting your eyes. I love how they rotate a full 360-degrees so you can direct their light directly to where you want it (I like to concentrate the light above my sink), plus they're sleek enough that you'll have room to utilize the outlets above or beneath them. These little home upgrades are so practical and affordable, I'm convinced they'd make great small gifts, too. While my rotating nightlights are my ride-or-dies, I've also compiled a few other great nightlight styles, including one with an extra-bright light and a dimmable, motion-sensing version. Read on for more standout options. Amazon These light-sensing plug-in nightlights are a bestseller on Amazon and give off warm white light to help illuminate bathrooms, nurseries, hallways, kitchens and more. They're also available in styles that give off cool white light or that cycle through the colors of the rainbow, a cool feature that's sure to be a hit among kids. $11.34 at Amazon $11.86 at Walmart Amazon This nightlight is dimmable, so you can adjust it from 0 lumens all the way up to 100 lumens. It's also light-sensing, so it'll turn off during the day and on during dusk. $11.44 at Amazon $11.44 at Walmart Amazon Life editor Kristen Aiken spotted these minimal amber-colored LED light on Eva Chen's Instagram and grabbed them up for a family member who just moved into a new home. The light-sensitive device will automatically illuminate when it senses darkness and has an ultra-slim profile. $11.97 at Amazon Amazon This motion-sensing option handily turns on its soft white light when it detects motion in the dark, and turns off again after 60 seconds of inactivity (you can also opt to turn this function off, keeping the nightlight either always on or always off). You can adjust its light from a softer 30 lumens to a bright 60 lumens. Its motion-sensing function makes it a great choice for dark areas like garages or even closets, plus helps cut down on your electricity bill. It's also available in a number of colorful lighting options (including blue, purple, green and more) as well as in a daylight white color. $12.99+ at Amazon This Affordable Grout Cleaner Has Jaw-Dropping Results This Surprisingly Chic $7 Pill Case Is The Most Important Item In My Bag Under-$30 Upgrades Your Bathroom Is Probably Missing

The Book Nearly Died With Him in the Amazon. But the Story Endured.

In 2018, the British journalist Dom Phillips joined a 17-day expedition into the Javari Valley, a vast, nearly inaccessible Indigenous land on the western edge of the Brazilian Amazon, tracking signs of an isolated group increasingly threatened by illegal activity. It was a grueling journey: 650 miles by boat and foot, crossing treacherous log bridges, dodging snakes and pushing through suffocating forest. The river, when it reappeared, offered both relief and what Phillips later called moments of 'exquisite loveliness.' He was struck by the Indigenous guides' command of the 'forest's secrets,' but even more so by Bruno Pereira, the expedition leader and a seasoned official at Funai, Brazil's Indigenous protection agency. Phillips saw him as a public servant deeply committed to protecting Indigenous peoples (though he was not himself Indigenous), and able to navigate the Javari with unmatched ease. When he returned to the region to work on a book, he set out to document how an Indigenous patrol was protecting the largely ungoverned territory — an effort then led by Pereira. The two men ran afoul of an illegal fishing gang and were killed in June 2022. But the story did not die with them. Journalist friends and family have brought Dom Phillips's work to life with the release of 'How to Save the Amazon: A Journalist's Fatal Quest for Answers.' Over three years, they completed the half-finished manuscript thanks to crowdfunding, grants and, finally, a willing publisher. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

These Drugstore Products Are Better Than Luxury Ones

As a beauty reporter, it's not just my personal obsession but also my job to research and test my way through skincare and makeup products at every price point. What I've found is that, in many cases, you do get what you pay for. But other times, I learned that drugstore formulas outperform their luxury competition for a fraction of the price. Always the advocate for a good bargain, I've curated the upcoming list of beauty products that I've not just tried, but use regularly, for their capacity to enhance my beauty routine at drugstore prices. It's an affordable collection that includes lush body oils, high-powered eye liners, wrinkle-fighting facial lotions and tons more. A makeup artist-endorsed definition mascara This was the tube of mascara that, for me, solidified the potential of drugstore formulas. The L'Oreal Voluminous mascara line was previously recommended to us by professional makeup artists as a good budget option for anyone looking to experiment with mascara shades that go beyond just black or brown. There's something about the product consistency of this mascara and the fluffy barrel brush that makes my lashes look longer and noticeably volumized, without looking weighed down or spidery. It also never flakes or smudges, even when the tube is a little older. I've even opted to try a few other colors, including the deep violet shade that I like so much, I find myself grabbing for it more than my go-to black. You'll want to opt for this if you're after a set of lashes that look fanned, wispy and not overly unnatural. Though I haven't tried it out for myself, some online discourse suggests that this formula is very comparable to the Lancôme High Definition mascara, which is also known for weightlessly lengthening it from Amazon for $8.24+ (available in nine shades). A magical loose powder with an old school formula This silky soft Airspun loose powder by Coty, a product that hails all the way back from 1935, is the only facial powder I will ever use. The talc-free formula, which can be purchased in three shades, including translucent, never feels cakey on my skin, nor does it settle into fine lines. Instead, it helps to smooth and blur texture, absorb excess oil and set my makeup — all without leaving an overly matte finish or a weird cast like other setting powders I've tried. It's also super affordable and lasts though I consider this vintage icon in a league of its own, I have heard this formula compared to the likes of Laura Mercier's well-known loose setting powder, which contains botanicals and skin conditioners to blur and soften the skin, but costs $43 for just one ounce of product (the Airspun is 1.2 ounces). Get it from Amazon for $6.74 (available in three shades). A "glass skin" highlighter stick that doesn't feel drugstore I'll admit it, I was influenced by TikTok to try out these new highlighter sticks from L'Oréal that promise to offer a more elevated kind of glow (unlike those chalky strobe highlighters of 2012). The finish is very unique and, like the brand claims, makes skin look glass-like, reflective, and very healthy. It comes in three "glassy formula" shades, though I have both the pearl and pink, and they are both virtually translucent, which I actually prefer. The texture is also not creamy at all, but instead feels lightweight and second-skin-like when applied to areas like the high points of my cheeks, inner corners of the eyes and cupid's bow. Even though this conveniently comes in the form of a stick, I like rubbing it on my fingers first before dabbing it onto my skin to avoid any disruption of my liquid and cream products my opinion, this formula seems strikingly similar to Merit's Day Glow highlighting balm, which promises that same dewy sheen without any sparkle. If you want a more robust glow, the L'Oréal Lumi Le Glass comes in three "glowy" formulas that are advertised to have a slightly more opaque it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in six colors). A ceramide-filled lotion that doubles as the perfect makeup base I have been using the CeraVe daily lotion as my go-to day facial moisturizer (though it can be used for both the face and body) for several years now, and for a few different reasons. In my opinion, it's the ideal mid-weight texture that soaks completely into the skin and layers seamlessly over my other daytime skincare products, without any kind of contradictions. Something about the slight velvet finish that this lotion leaves behind serves as the perfect base for makeup to layer on top of — no pilling or unsightly foundation separating. In fact, it works better as a base than some other expensive primers that I've tried. Plus, the fact that I can procure a value-sized bottle of this for less than $20 keeps me coming back time and time again.I hesitate to make this comparison, since I'm such a huge fan of the slightly pricier version, but this reminds me of the cult-favorite Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré, a magical French facial cream that also doubles as a makeup primer. Get it from Amazon for $13.68+ (available in two sizes). A velvety liner that rivals Charlotte Tilbury's famous "Pillow Talk" Everyone is most likely familiar with the iconic "Pillow Talk" lip liner by Charlotte Tilbury, which I'm also a devotee of, but cringe at the $26 price tag. Milani is the maker behind tons of notable drugstore cosmetics, including this retractable lip liner that comes in nearly identical shades to the luxury version (Cinammon Statement or Nude Entrance). It's creamy, long-lasting and doesn't feather along or above the lip line when I want to accentuate my lips.I'm equally obsessed with the Milani Color Fetish line of matte lipsticks, which are ultra-pigmented and very soft on the lips. Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in 12 colors). A flexible and imperceptible concealer The Maybelline Age Rewind concealer has been my exclusive concealer of choice for nearly a decade and I have yet to find a formula that manages to be so imperceptible on the skin, yet so effective at brightening my under eye. The formula blends easily and because it's so thin, it does a really great job of not settling into my fine lines or creasing throughout the day and I don't even need to use powder to set it. It easily disperses from the built-in sponge applicator and comes in 28 shades, including a redness-canceling green shade and a brightening pink tone.I personally can't speak to this comparison, but the Age Rewind is often cited as an affordable alternative to the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, a medium-coverage product that promises to be good for dark it from Amazon for $8.98. A fine-line liquid eyebrow pen that looks like real brow hairs I have some sparse patches on my left eyebrow from previous scarring, and I adore how NYX's Lift & Snatch eyebrow pen manages to fill in the gap, without making it look like I just have a solid block of color on my skin. The flexible tip is ultra-fine to help mimic the look of brow hairs, while the ink-like formula is instantly drying and completely budge-proof. Available in 10 shades, this product is strikingly similar to my beloved micro-stroke pen by Anastasia Beverly Hills, a brand known for its incredible brow products. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+. Latex-free makeup sponges that perform exactly like the Beauty Blender For the longest time, I only used a Beautyblender to apply my makeup, a $20 tool that is so revered it can even be considered the industry standard for makeup sponges. Then, about three years ago, I discovered these latex-free lookalikes that cost around $5 for a colorful carton of five and have never looked back. Like the Blender, this delightfully squishy sponge makes my foundation look airbrushed and mimics the original's exact shape: a round body and a pointed precision tip. I use this damp for the perfect dispersion of products and bounce it along the skin in a stippling motion to apply my foundation, blend cream products and even a five-piece set from Amazon for $5.38+ (available in five color combos). The most hydrating and cushiony lip oil I've ever used If you're not familiar with lip oils, think of them as a grown-up version of those sticky glosses from the '90s that promise the same coveted shine, but with the feel of a hydrating balm. Colour Pop's Lux lip oils were the first I ever tried and ultimately the reason I fell in love with this type of formulation. Available in four sheer shades, this lip oil has a unique gel-like texture that melts down to a lightweight and cushiony gloss that's incredibly comfortable and smooth to wear. It uses a blend of antioxidant-rich chamomile and calendula oils to help nourish lips and keep them feeling hydrated. In my opinion, the feel and longevity of this gloss even beats the cult-favorite Tower 28 high-shine lip jelly, which costs $6 more. Get it from Amazon for $9.97. A milky skin conditioner that reminds me of Laniege Although this isn't a product that you could grab from your local Target or Walmart, it does have a drugstore price and a list of ingredients that is strikingly similar to the Laneige Cream Skin milky toner, a formula that's also Korean and costs over twice as much. The PDRN pink milky toner is a recent find from buzzy Korean skin care brand, Medicube, and so far, I'm loving it. The hydrating skin conditioner contains both ceramides and peptides (just like Laneige's Cream Skin product) for brightening and plumping power, but it also contains the addition of salmon-derived PDRN, an anti-aging ingredient that's risen in popularity this past year for its potential to improve skin texture and collagen production. Even after just a few months of use, I've already noticed increased softness and better bounce-back to my it from Amazon for $16.16. A nourishing body oil that's not greasy My skin is notoriously dry and I've found that incorporating body oils post-shower and after moisturizer has helped trap in hydration, improved skin texture and stave off my chronic eczema. This was one of the best oils that I ended up trying (including better than the uber-popular Osea Undaria algea body oil), and I don't hear a lot of people talk about how great it is. As a person who is opposed to certain textures, I'm in love with the fact that this formula doesn't sit greasy or stick atop the skin. It actually soaks in quickly and thoroughly to the point that I'm able to throw on my clothes right after and not leave a stain. Deceptively luxurious and available in five mild scents, it's enriched with three different oils that are nourishing and rich in antioxidants like squalane and you want to go a step further, I also use Saltair's SPF-infused version of this body oil because I prefer it significantly more than rubbing on regular SPF lotions that feel suffocating on my it from Amazon for $22.
