To die for. 😍 Promising review: "Diva, stop letting these influencers sway you into spending your hard-earned (and scarce) beans on $20–$30 subpar lip balms — you're paying for the brand, and the quality is questionable. E.l.f. KNOCKED THEM BOTH OUTTA THE PARK WITH THIS! SO BUTTERY, SO YUMMY, SOOOOOOO MUCH PRODUCT!!!!! I wasn't expecting the tube to be so generous in size, by far the biggest amount I've seen from the market. The flavors are divine, the color payoff is even better than Summer Fridays…and it's only $9, you cannot go wrong. I just can't fathom any balm being priced above $12, E.l.f. always hits and barely misses. 🩷💋" —SONIAGet it from Amazon for $9 (available in six colors). A 40-ounce Simple Modern tumbler with a handle if you look at the price of the Stanley cup and refuse to pay that much. This little insulated baby has your name written all over it. New fave cup? I think yes. Say hello to your new emotional support water bottle. A 6-quart Dutch oven — a heavy-duty cast iron with enamel coating that'll evenly distribute heat and lock in moisture so you can chef up some Gordon Ramsey-level cuisine. Le Creuset and Staub are SHAKING cuz this inexpensive baby can do everything they can do, but for so much cheaper. And we like cheap around here. A simple tennis bracelet, which will have everyone thinking you spent some serious coin on a Swarovski one. It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the price?! Wooo 😮💨 luxury for the low is always a win. A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit because the Skims one seems great and all, but that price does not. If you want the vibe but don't wanna drop the $70, grab this and just say, "yeah, it's the name-brand one." I won't tell, I swear. If you get two of these, you'll still spend less than you would on ONE from Skims. We love to see it! A mini belt bag with an adjustable strap that's super stylish and will hold your things while you go hiking, to concerts, travel, ya know. Also, a reviewer-beloved Lululemon belt bag swap! We live for a less expensive alternative! Slingback heels because, ooooh, look how gorgeous! These are drool-worthy, and if you think they look a bit familiar, it's definitely cuz they could pass as the Chanel pair. Now, you can get the look without having to spend an entire paycheck. A pair of stylish gold-plated teardrop earrings that'll make everyone think you dropped a bag 💰 on Bottega Veneta. I know, I know, they look like they weigh A TON *but* reviewers actually say they're super lightweight and don't affect sensitive ears! Oversize square sunnies with glare-reducing polarized lenses and UV 400 protection so you can give Bottega Veneta vibes while avoiding designer prices. Elevate your ~lewk~ without elevating your credit card balance too much. A set of six breathable seamless thongs because these laugh in the face of Victoria's Secret's five for $30 and Skims' three for $39 deals. They won't show under your clothes and, surprisingly, reviewers say they're comfy! Comfortable thongs sound like a myth, but these babies prove that they're so real. A set of Amazon Basics silicone baking mats you'll be able to reuse again and again. They're literally exactly like the popular Silpat mats except you'll get two of these babies for the price of one of the fancy ones. Say goodbye to the days of having your homemade cookies stick to the pan and say hello to brighter baking days with these affordable kitchen lifesavers. A bottle of Dossier Ambery Vanilla perfume inspired by the ever-so-popular but super expensive Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium perfume. With enchanting notes of mandarin, pear, pink pepper, jasmine, orange blossom, cedarwood, patchouli, vanilla, and more, this heavenly scent will have everyone asking what fragrance you're wearing. A transfer-, smudge-, sweat-, and water-resistant L'Oreal Paris Infallible setting spray mist that lasts up to 36 hours and has TikTok in a full chokehold. Literally, my jaw is on the floor. Reviewers are loving this affordable alternative to the One/Size setting spray mainly because this is basically witchcraft in a bottle. Put it on, and your makeup isn't going ANYWHERE. A pair of cozy memory foam platform sandals, aka the Steve Madden Slinky sandals' identical twin. These Y2K-esque cuties will def be your favorite shoes to reach for all summer long. An expensive-looking faux-leather belt to throw on and rock with your jeans. It's the little things that make the outfit, and this little thing will make a big difference for a small price. An elevated laptop tote bag which could seriously pass as the Béis Work Tote by Shay Mitchell. I mean, the resemblance is uncanny. Plus, it's roomy as heck so you can carry around your computer all day in style. A Briotech spray with hypochlorous acid in it, just like the well-known and loved Tower 28 SOS spray. If you wanna soothe inflammation, tone down redness, and strengthen your skin's barrier without having to drop a bag, this magical little facial mist is right up your alley. A cubic zirconia cuff which looks a lot like the Cartier Love bracelet and will make everyone do a double-take, cuz they'll think you're growin' money trees since the name brand one is over $17,000. 😱 Is your jaw on the floor, cuz mine is. A Nyx brow pencil that has Anastasia shakin' in her boots because this bad boy rivals the ABH Brow Wiz. This super skinny pencil will allow you to create hair-like strokes to sculpt and fill in any areas that are sparse. One side has a little spoolie anddddd it's like $15 less than the ABH one. A flirty corset lace-up sundress with a slit and a cute lace-up back. The devil on my shoulder keeps whispering *add it to the cart* and I'm like .2 seconds from giving in. Plus, it looks extremely similar to the $200 House of CB one, and we LOVE an affordable lookalike. It's giving ~demure~. A pair of double buckle slides that, wait, are we really sure that these aren't Birkenstocks in disguise? I mean, they have to be cousins or something, right? They come in *so* many colors and the straps can be adjusted for a perfectly custom fit. Or a pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals made by the same makers of the TikTok–famous cloud slides! Reviewers say they're super similar to Birkenstocks, like, so similar, they could pull a Hallie and Annie Parent Trap trick. A high-stretch, sweat-wicking flared bodycon jumpsuit that'll be a closet staple every season. You'll love it because, boom, it's a whole outfit without thinking of what pants or shirt to wear. Throw it on by itself or add a jacket and serve away in this Aritzia Butter look-alike. A Baroque mirror which will give you that expensive, fancy, Pottery Barn, Anthropologie look without the expensive, fancy price. This beauty costs hundreds less and will add that touch of traditional glam you've wanted. A scoop neck top that'll deliver you that *buttery soft* Skims feel without that high as heck Skims price. Plus this one comes in SO many colors, it'll be hard to choose just one. Maison Louis Marie perfume oil, a *clean* fragrance with notes of sandalwood, amber wood, and vetiver that has TikTok *obsessed* cuz it smells verrry similar to the popular, expensive as heck Le Labo Santal 33 fragrance. So good, even Bad Bunny uses it! Check it out on TikTok!Promising review: "This scent is beautiful, just what I was wanting. I've worn Santal 33 for a long time, and this scent is very similar but sweeter because of the subtle nutmeg and vanilla." —Christy it from Amazon for $17 (available in nine scents). Or a "Soft" perfume rollerball which has TikTok in love. It's a warm, sweet scent with a hint of citrusy zest that reviewers are comparing to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, warm vanilla scones, and even this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar! So basically, you'll smell good enough to eat, and everyone will want to sniff ya. It layers extremely well, it's super affordable, and it smells like freakin' heaven. CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream so you can save money and get a quality moisturizer that'll help renew and hydrate your skin while you sleep. This ~dreamy~ lil' hyaluronic acid- and niacinamide-packed baby is being compared to the quite pricey Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Firming Moisturizer. And best of all, it's only 18 freakin' dollars. Heeled mule sandals with braided straps that are easy to put on and can be worn with practically anything. They're bound to become a go-to shoe this summer, and people may even believe they're the popular, *expensive* Dolce Vita ones. A sunrise alarm clock so you can wake up like a Disney princess, like you've always wanted. Reviewers say this is a lovely little ~affordable~ alternative to the over $150 Hatch one. Thirty minutes before your alarm goes off, it'll gradually brighten from red, to orange, to bright white *and* you can use it at night to help you peacefully drift off with a soft glow, natural sounds, and an auto shut-off function. This is def GOATed.
