A cute tennis bracelet I can buy and still afford to pick up a morning coffee? Sign me up.
1. Stained glass-like window film for anyone with one of those tiny bathroom windows who is just begging for a lil' revamp. This will be so easy to incorporate into your home and, now that the sun has finally returned, will breathe new life into your space.
Promising review: "Best film ever! Super thick and high quality. I loved it so much that I bought more for another window that needed privacy help after my cats destroyed the blinds. Worth every penny. It's super easy to install since it's not flimsy like many of the films out there. Hopefully, they will produce more designs in the future. Can't recommend it enough" — Mar
Get it from Amazon for $15.56+ (available in six sizes and eight styles).
2. Faux peonies for anyone who has claimed them as their favorite flower since Blair Waldorf said they were hers (guilty). These will remain just as beautiful as the day you buy 'em because, duh, they're fake!
Promising review:"I'm extremely pleased with this bunch of peonies. They come as a spray on one branch, so I cut each stem off and arranged them individually. The resulting arrangement is lush and beautiful. There are enough leaves and other pieces that make it more than just the flowers and allow for some spiky bits to pop out. You will not be disappointed!" — c2believe
Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 30 colors).
3. Plus, an eye-catching glass bag vase that'll give your designer one a run for its money. This beauty will help you *accessorize* any home space, whether you decide to fill it with florals or turn it into an aquarium!!!
Promising review: " I love this vase. It is exactly as described, if not better! It is fantastic quality and looks so great in person. I'm so excited to see how different flowers look in it, and honestly can see it being used for so many fun displays!! Highly recommend, might even buy another." — kate hochwalt
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles).
4. The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set — a fan-favorite miracle cleaning paste and a game-changing sponge that gets soft in warm water but hardens up in the cold. It's the superhero duo you didn't know you needed! Ahem, putting on my deep, booming announcer voice to tell you dramatically that it can clean EVERYTHING from pots and pans, stove tops, sinks, shower doors, tiles of all kinds, kitchen appliances, grout, outdoor furniture, AND your car!!!
Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand-new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess
Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99.
5. Bella's Ceramic Fold-n-Store Dual Griddle, because even if you live in a studio apartment with a claim to The World's Smallest Kitchen, you shouldn't be deprived of the ability to whip up 12 pancakes whenever the mood strikes.
Promising review:"I love how spacious yet compact this griddle is. It's big enough to cook for the family but folds up neatly for easy storage. The non-stick surface works perfectly—nothing sticks, and cleanup is super quick. The dual temperature controls are a nice bonus, letting you cook different foods at once. It's a simple, reliable tool that makes cooking so much easier!" — SAMAS
Get it from Amazon for $49.40+ (available in four colors)
6. A Ninja Crispi Air Fryer system that'll have you feeling like you've just become an American Ninja Kitchen Warrior. Throw your go-to lazy day meal of nuggets and fries into the glass container, attach it to the air fryer, then enjoy the fruits of your labor straight out of the same container.
Amazon, www.instagram.com
Check out a TikTok of the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer System in action.
Each air fryer comes with the "PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface, no problem.
Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $179.99+ (available in three colors).
7. A Dash mini maker, perfect if you live solo and don't have to make egg sandwiches for an entire household of hungry humans. You can use this baby to craft a delightful bite for yourself with minimal cleanup — who wants a sink full of dishes when you're the only one responsible for washing them? Not me!
Promising review: "This is the perfect easy breakfast sandwich maker. It cooks the egg perfectly (I used jumbo eggs, and it worked perfectly, just like regular eggs). It's honestly one of my personal favorite appliances. I just had a baby, and having something I can crack an egg into and let it sit to cook without having to flip, and it's done within five minutes is honestly a lifesaver, and it cleans super easy! 10/10 I love this thing; it's just like my George Foreman!" — Emily
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors).
8. A storage container designed to give your deli meats and cheeses a place to call home. It has an air-tight seal to keep your items fresh *and* you can write on it with a dry-erase marker, so you can remember what you bought at the store when you're bleary-eyed and whipping up a quick sandwich before the workday.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
One reviewer also notes it's great for storing smaller vegetables!
Promising review:"Love this storage container great to keep bacon in. Keeps it fresh longer. Plus, you write with a dry-erase marker on the lid so you know what's in it and date it. Would be great large amounts of deli meats as well" — susan dirr
Get it from Amazon for $14.39.
9. A family-size Perfect Pot you can use on both the stovetop and in the oven — it'll replace your stock pot, Dutch oven, saucepot, roasting rack, steamer, colander, braiser, and spoon rest. Alas, it *won't* replace your inability to perfectly replicate your mom's prized Sunday sauce, but it'll give you the right tools to keep trying!
Amazon
Promising review:"When it comes to cookware, I truly believe you can't do better than this brand, the material used, the rich, beautiful color, the ease of use, and the nonstick properties are absolutely amazing. I will make sure that I buy every last pot from this line." — Lori Bush
Get it from Amazon for $163 (available in six colors).
10. A set of colorful mixing bowls with easy-to-pour spouts built right in so you'll never waste a drop of your good-enough-to-be-famous chocolate cake batter. They come in an array of lovely shades, are dishwasher-safe, and conveniently stack inside one another for easy storage!
Promising review:"I love these mixing bowls. The packaging is very beautiful. The bonus for me is the black rings in the bottom to prevent the bowls from sliding around on the counter when you're mixing/whisking. I bought them to make pancakes, but I use them for everything now. The set is a nice upgrade from using a regular soup bowl for mixing." — Sarita
Get the set of four from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 10 styles).
11. A set of rustic-style ceramic ramekins if you're hoping to channel your inner–Pioneer Woman the next time you serve your family an easy recipe like baked mac 'n' cheese. Simple meal? Yep. But will it feel cozier than eating it out of a standard bowl? Absolutely!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Mora Ceramics is a small business that specializes in home goods. One reviewer (shown above, right) even used it to dress up serving pizza rolls!
Promising review: "Very high-end ramekins! Pricey, but worth every penny. They are absolutely stunning! They are very well-made. They are large and I absolutely love them. I highly recommend and I will also definitely buy again from this company." — Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles)
12. A hybrid berry basket and colander to add a splash of color to the annoying task of cleaning all of the berries you just grabbed at the market. Toss 'em right into the colander, let 'em drain, then pop it back into the container to keep them fresh. Cute and functional is the name of MY game, in case you were wondering.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop it into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" — Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
13. An Owala SmoothSip Slider (say that 10x fast) that'll have you donating all of your other cups to make room for this one in every color — it has a slide-top spout to prevent spills, so you won't ever have to show up to a doctor's appointment covered in coffee...again. Reviewers love that it can keep drinks hot for six hours and cold for up to 24!
There are also tons of other Owala styles reviewers love — BuzzFeed editor Sally Elshorafa personally adores her Owala FreeSip bottle. Check 'em all out here.
Promising review:"I usually don't like to drink my coffee from travel mugs because something about the lid makes the coffee taste weird….. this lid is not like others! It has a smooth texture and doesn't have a plastic taste. It is completely leakproof (my 14-month-old constantly turns it upside down and throws it around when I'm not looking). And lastly, I've dropped this thing a few times now, and not a dent or scratch on it. Perfect size, very happy with it!" — Hannah Chase
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).
14. And a sleek temperature-detecting thermos to save you from burning your tastebuds off (again) so you can enjoy the sweet, sweet taste of hot coffee you carefully crafted before heading out of the house. It comes in fun colors and has a clear-as-day digital display to tell you precisely what temp the beverage is inside.
Promising review: "I ordered one based on reviews, and it did not disappoint. I like my coffee HOT and my water COLD, and this lets me know exactly what to expect. It keeps ice for HOURS, as in well over 24 if the lid is on and over 12 even if the lid is off. Best feature ... I've managed to drop it TWICE in as many days, and although the top is a little scratched (I had a sleeve from a different bottle that almost comes up to the lid), the thermometer still works. Still leakproof. Couldn't ask for a better thermos." — Kelly H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors).
15. An elegant set of square wineglasses you'll want to raise a toast to because they're just that lovely. They have a shocking resemblance to the ones you've likely been eyeing from Crate & Barrel but haven't wanted to commit to. These will certainly do the trick and garner you tons of compliments the next time you host a girls' night.
Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B
Get them from Amazon for $28.98 (also available in a set of two).
16. A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your daily stack. You might want to warn your pals to shield their eyes — this beauty is going to be DAZZLING in the sunlight at brunch.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this brand! She owns a bunch of their pieces and wears 'em daily (like this ring).
Promising reviews: "I bought this bracelet to wear with my watch! It looks like the real deal! Sparkling, feel like I'm wearing diamonds! Easy to put on and take off!" — Lauren Carroll
"I ordered this to match my Swarovski necklace, and it was beautiful. Hard to open clasp at first, but the size was perfect." — Cassity
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
17. Plus, a plated, jewel-embedded ring with Cartier love ring vibes, so you can enjoy the same style without shelling out thousands of dollars. This take on the classic accessory even has a bit of extra razzle-dazzle to it the original simply doesn't!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles).
18. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that'll shockingly cost you less than a Grande iced latte at Starbucks (wowza!). Reviewers rave about how it's not greasy at all, sinks right in, leaves skin feeling (and smelling) amazing *and* will likely remind you of the ever-popular Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel scent...ooh la la!
www.amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: "I was worried after some people said the scent was a bit strong, but as someone who is usually sensitive to smells I'm extremely happy with this. N ot only does it feel amazing and super creamy, it smells SOOOO good. I love that it feels like expensive body butter and the smell literally lasts all day. 100% recommend" — Carley
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two sizes, five other scents, and multi-packs).
19. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume for anyone who tried the sample size of YSL's Black Opium and fell in love with it but simply doesn't have $95 to spend on smelling lovely. Luckily for you, this one is super similar and will leave you with enough money left to *also* treat yourself to lunch.
Dossier is a small business that specializes in alternative, affordable perfumes — check out the rest of their options on their Amazon storefront!
Promising review: "Gorgeous scent! I love perfumes, and I'm super picky. I either love or return. This scent is gorgeous. Smells a bit sweet but not overly sweet, not super vanilla, just a hint of it with sophistication. Very soft and sultry. I applied moisturizer (thin, thin layer of Vaseline) and then sprayed perfume. It stayed on my skin for probably over eight hours. I checked my sweater the next day, you could easily smell it on my sweater. Definitely worth the money." — Amazon Customer
20. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer, aka a K-beauty must-have you may not have heard of just yet, but, boy, are you about to now! The jar is filled with tiny, poppable capsules you can snap and apply directly to your skin for the glowy revival you've been hoping for since Jack Frost did his worst.
Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue left behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi
Get it from Amazon for $19.90.
21. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse because not all of us have been naturally blessed with Brooke Shields's iconic eyebrows — this product comes in six shades and will give your brows the boost they need.
Amazon
Promising review:"So quick and easy to get full fluffy brows! It does it all in one. Gives them volume, holds them nice without being over-tacky and stiff, and darkens them. So easy in the morning before work. Takes a couple of swipes, and I am ready to go." — jessica alexandra
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six shades).
22. Crest's "Sensitive Teeth" 3D Whitestrips, so instead of grimacing in pain from the whitening process you can simply show off your stain-free pearly whites with a big ol' smile.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I have only been able to use at-home teeth whitening kits after finding this one! Usually, my tooth sensitivity is unbearable after chemical-based teeth whitening, but this one didn't bother me at all! It is a 30-day kit, meant to be used once per day. A fter the first use, I noticed my teeth were already whiter. I was skeptical about being able to use the strips every day because I figured it would amp up the tooth sensitivity. However, I'm several days in and still have no problems. Highly recommend!!!" — CsameC
Get it 18 treatments from Amazon for $38.49.
23. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops that'll quickly become your most talked about skincare item after you see how incredible it'll leave your face looking and feeling. It's packed with hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid and can be used solely as a serum or mixed in with your go-to foundation for a hydrating boost your skin is likely craving. Reviewers love using it instead of the pricier (but VERY similar) Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
24. Ouai Wave Spray to get your hair looking fresh, frizz-free and help you get out the door in 1, 2, 3. It works wonders on wet or dry locks with the least amount of effort necessary so you can save your strength for wrangling your hyper pup at the dog park or sitting through meetings that could've been emails.
I have naturally wavy (but frizzy) hair and after trying many products this is where I've happily landed. Ouai is the first brand I recommend to my fellow wavy-haired ladies. It's light, doesn't leave your locks feeling crunchy, doesn't have an overpowering smell, and keeps hair looking fresh. My only complaint used to be that it didn't come in a massive-sized bottle, but their new formula (that is even BETTER than the first and contains coconut oil and rice protein) comes in both a 3 fl oz bottle *and* a 6 fl oz bottle! Ouai also has a curl cream that I'm a huge fan of — it's lightweight and also does the trick (though the wave spray is still my favorite). In the photo above (right), I literally threw my hair into a half/up situation right out of the shower, gave it a spritz, and moved on with my day.
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes).
25. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream because chances are you've been neglecting these specific skin areas for years — well, now's their time to shine! This cream is packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and has been crafted to improve skin's elasticity and texture. TL;DR: you're welcome for introducing you to this magical stuff.
Promising review:"I've been using this for five days, and I can't believe how much it's helped with the saggy skin under my chin. I'm 37, and I've been using various products, but nothing was making a difference, and my skin continued to get loose in that area. I came across this, looked at the reviews, and decided to try it, though I honestly wasn't sure it would work for me, considering other things I've tried that haven't helped. I can't even express how much better I feel now. I have no idea how this cream works and actually tightens up the skin, but I'm so grateful. I'm no longer self-conscious about it, and I actually like looking in the mirror now and not seeing the extra skin hanging from the bottom of my chin." — 📚#WHYCHOOSE
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
26. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse a must-buy whether you have curly curls, wonderful waves, or splendidly straight locks — it's designed for all hair types! See ya later, frizz. Hello, hydration and volume!
Promising review:"I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." — Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
27. Laneige Neo Blurring Powder will make you feel like an oil-absorbing, pore-blurring wizard. All you have to do is dab-dab-dab with the lovely puff the powder comes with, and then admire your perfectly matte complexion for the rest of the day.
28. Tarte Big Stick Energy duo, made up of the new Shape Tape blur concealer stick and brush, will replace any other coverage product you've got on your bathroom vanity. It's creamy, buildable, and won't settle or get cake-y under your eyes. It's a 10/10, new must-have item for your makeup bag.
Let me tell you, I am SO obsessed after trying out this product. The photos above are from when I tried it out for the first time after having very little sleep the previous night (and, if I'm being honest, many nights prior, as my baby girl is not a fan of sleep in general). It felt super creamy as I applied it to my skin. The diamond-shaped tip of the stick helped me "draw" it into the curves of my face as needed. The Shape Tape blur conceal brush also blew me away — it felt so soft against my face and like using a magic wand to blend in the concealer. I didn't even need to apply a second dose to minimize my undereye bags! I've been using the original Shape Tape for years and adore it, but this new version is absolutely going to replace it in my makeup bag simply because it is so much easier to apply. It also blends better than the original with the help of the new brush and, overall, feels lighter on my skin. Consider me a lifelong fan!
Get it from Tarte for $29 (available in 48 shades).
29. OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish to keep at your desk for an impromptu manicure during a video meeting, which definitely could've been an email (sigh). It comes in so many lovely shades you'll easily be able to pick your fave and keep it on hand for mani emergencies (or, erm, boring meetings).
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: I only needed one coat for coverage over the OPI primer. The nail polish quickly dried and stayed on my nails for two weeks before starting to chip. The polish is a great value for money, color, and shine." — lois
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades)
30. Beckham Hotel Collection Bed Pillows because, if we're being honest (and I like to think we've reached a point in our relationship where we can be blunt), the ones you've been sleeping on are starting to resemble Flat Stanley. It's time for you to upgrade your sleeping situation, friend!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was just looking at these pillows again in case I had to purchase new ones. I originally 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 $59.99 (available in Standard/Queen or King sizing).
31. And a waffle-knit duvet cover set to give your bedroom the makeover it deserves. Not to mention you *also* deserve a super soft and cozy place to rest your bones after a long day.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The set comes with a duvet cover and two pillowcases.
Promising review: " We searched high and low for a new comforter and went through three before we finally found something that was attractive, durable, and comfortable. We bought the Bedsure duvet insert to go with, which breathed great on its own when used without a top sheet. The duvet cover was easy to put on (flip it inside out, lay it over the bed, and lay the insert on top. Tie the ties, reach inside to the top corners, grab the insert, and flip the whole thing inside out… easier with two people if you have a king). Already had an instance where we needed to spot clean, and it did well. Also did well in the washer and dryer before we put it on. The waffle texture is just beautiful and it seems like it is well-made and will last. We are extremely happy with this purchase." — K Washington
Get it from Amazon for $82.99+ (available in full, queen, oversized queen, king, California king, and oversized king sizes and 40 styles).
32. A heated eye massager complete with five different massage modes and Bluetooth music so you can fully indulge and relax while relieving pain from eye strain and headaches. Pop on that Lo-Fi playlist you've been reserving for a moment of calm, turn on this gadget, and breaaaathe.
www.amazon.com, Heather Braga / BuzzFeed
After reading about how much reviewers loved this product (and including it in my articles for years) I was so excited to finally try it out myself. I wasn't disappointed! It's a little louder than I thought it would be (as the air compresses in and out to relieve tension), but once I put music on with it, I didn't notice the noise anymore. I've been using it to relax my eyes after a long day of working on screens *and* parenting. I also break it out when I have sinus pain, and it's been really helpful in easing that pain. Consider me a fan!
Promising review: "I saw this product on one of Amazon's must-have TikTok videos and I knew I had to get it. It was so worth it — even though the price may seem higher compared to other sellers, this is for sure a good investment piece. The quality is top notch, the strap that goes around your head is comfortable, and most importantly, the duration of each mode is long enough that it doesn't interrupt your rest. I work a 12-hour night shift as a nurse and this technology has helped me get through the night easily. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $52.99 (available in seven colors).
33. Gauzy super-wide pants I'm going to have to go ahead and apologize right now for showing you because you're going to want them in all seven styles. Oops. Anyways, they are lightweight, will travel beautifully in your suitcase, *and* have pockets!
Old Navy
Promising review: " Love these, soft and comfy, but would size down next time." – anonymous
Get them from Old Navy for $24 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL, 2X–4X, and seven styles).
34. A bodysuit with over 24,000 5-star reviews, which feels pretty significant for a stretchy, barely there piece of clothing, don't ya think? It's hailed for being breathable, soft, perfectly accentuating of natural curves, and delightfully similar to Skims. Sounds like a winner to me!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I own a lot of shapewear and when my best friend introduced me to this brand it changed the game. IT SNATCHED ME RIGHT ON UP MAMA. 🤗" — lecreesha thomas
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes 2XS–4XL and 11 styles).
35. A chic button-down linen dress to pay tribute to the butter yellow trend that's all the rage right now — and if bright hues aren't your thing, you can try it out in one of the other three shades available!
Lulus
Promising review:"This dress fits exactly as pictured and is a very nice material. It's perfect for a lunch out or vacation!" — Meryl G.
Get it from Lulus for $45 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and four colors).
36. A classic Madewell tee that was likely what Taylor Swift was thinking about when she wrote the lyrics "We never go out of style."
Madewell
There's no way you won't end up getting this in all three colors, sorry. You can even have it customized with up to eight characters — might I suggest "Piper no."
Get it from Madewell for $19.50 (available in women's sizes 2XS–2X, three colors, and with or without personalization).
37. An off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, because you and I know you've been itching to give this style a whirl but hadn't found an affordable option you were willing to take a chance on. Well, hellloooooo! Here she is!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is exactly has described. The material is so light, soft, and stretchy. Love that it can be dressed up or a more casual look, depending on the accessories and shoes. IT HAS POCKETS! If you're on the fence — DO IT— you won't regret it!" — Cody
Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes S–3XL and 32 styles).
38. A pair of plush checkered slippers to protect your feet from the ice-like tiled floors in your home while also letting you remind your family of how punk rock you are, even if your checked slip-on Vans have been retired to the back of the closet. 🤘
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"These slippers are not only super cute but also really comfy. I walk all over my house in them, and they feel so cushy with the memory foam soles. They are easy to clean, too, since they are machine washable. True to shoe size." — Brenbren
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 5.5–10.5 and five styles).
39. Ruffled ankle socks that'll add a dainty flair to your daily uniform of chunky sneakers and leggings, and mimic the darling ones you used to wear as a kid.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

When I opened it, I thought, "This is as if a Croc became a handbag!" because they have so many fun accessories you can plug into the sides (similar to the charms on Crocs). I'm starting with a cup holder and a phone holder, but you should absolutely check out all their accessory offerings. It's very lightweight since it's made of rubber, which is great because I know I will stuff it to the brim with beach gear this summer. Also! Bogg is a small business!
Promising review:"Perfect!Very cute and, surprisingly, the perfect bag for me! The bag is still easy to carry even with it all loaded up. Today, I had a 30oz Stanley, my book, snacks for my two boys, their lesson books, a pack of wipes, two pullups for my toddler, my tiny crossbody purse, my keys, meds, and phone in it. And it wasn't heavy! Definitely kept everything steady and safe." — Holly

Last time I took a plane with a suitcase and a cup of coffee, when it's my turn to check my passport and ticket, the coffee cup fell to the ground and coffee sprinkled. It was a nightmare! This time I bought this cup holder, it did do me a favor! I don't have to worry about where my cup and phone are! I can free my hands to do other things. I love it so much! Hope you love it too." — Philip

I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."

Reviewers Say They Basically Live In These Quick-Dry Hiking Pants — And They're Finally On Sale
I hunt for and write about exceptional products for a living and have read thousands of reviews for innumerable goods. That's all to say that I have read many a gushing review. Yet I have to admit, the volume of exceptional reviews for these quick-dry hiking pants from Baleaf impressed even me. These popular men's and women's pants are comfy, lightweight, and so water-repellant that reviewers recount spilling bottles of water on them and simply watching the water roll off. The women's are surprisingly stylish, thanks to their adjustable ankle straps that give the option of a more tapered look. In my opinion, the most impressive of all is the material's UPF 50+ sun protection factor, which reviewers swear by for guarding their legs against UV rays. And right now, they're 23% off on Amazon!Reviewers not only love these comfy pants for hiking but also say they basically live in them. And they mean it. In addition to being vouched for by hikers and lovers of comfy clothing, folks with tons of different professions and hobbies have added these pants to their daily rotation of staples, including dental hygienists and nurses who use them as scrubs, fly fishers, climbers who zip-line and rappel, office and retail workers, camera operators, people who rehabilitate and groom animals, and construction workers. Some reviewers even dress them up to wear out to dinner. The women's pants are available in 18 colors in sizes XS–3XL, and the men's version is available in three colors in sizes S–3XL. (Note: for the women's pants, a number of reviewers suggest sizing up.)Each has deep zippered pockets so you can stash your phone and other hefty items comfortably, then zip them right up to ensure they're extra secure. (The women's version has two pockets at the side and one at the back, and the men's version has two at the side and back.) As someone who has been unwillingly subjected to women's pants with either no pockets or insultingly small, shallow pockets, this is nothing short of also highly durable, with one reviewer mentioning their pair got caught on an aluminum decking during a construction job, and their pants not only didn't rip, but they also didn't even snag. OK, I'm to reviewers, they're the perfect pants to pack for travel since you can roll them up super tight, using up almost no room in your adjustable drawstring waist will help these fit even if you're feeling bloated or have some fluctuations in weight. And strikingly, folks of all body types love them, including tall, petite, and plus-size finally, reviewers say they also do a great job protecting against pants are exactly what I've been looking for, so I'll be stocking up on a pair or two, too. Promising reviews: 'I wore these pants daily on an 8-day backcountry canoe trip for which I wanted good sun coverage. They held up great! They dried quickly (important on a canoe trip) and breathed well. I'm as happy with them as I would have been with a pair of pants from REI, which were all $50+ more expensive. Zipper pockets were nice ― particularly enjoyed the thigh pocket, which fit a standard iPhone + small map and fun-size candy and was accessible while seated in the boat. For sizing reference, I'm 5′3″ and 125ish lbs, and a small worked well and still had room for me to slip a pair of long underwear under on our coldest day.' —Ana'Love these pants! They can be dressed up or dressed down. They are wrinkle-free and lightweight, contain four different zippered pockets, and the drawstrings at the ankles can be pulled or not pulled, depending on whether you want a jogger/hiker pant look or a casual pants look. These are super comfortable — I ordered two pairs and loved them so much that I immediately went online and ordered two more pairs in different colors. They fit true to size — I'm 5'11" and approximately 113 pounds — an XS fit me perfectly with a nice loose fit. Highly recommend these. I think they'd also be great for travel — they are so lightweight they would not take up much room at all in a carry-on bag.' —Lucy Van Der Laan'I am 67 years old and love to garden. I wear these pants for sun protection along with a white long-sleeved crew neck. They have worked great, and I do not overheat in them. The fabric is lightweight and breathable.' —Smartlady Get them from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 18 colors).

The texture is so smooth and buttery, and it glides on effortlessly without feeling sticky or heavy. The caramelized vanilla scent is heavenly — sweet, warm, and comforting without being overpowering. It keeps my lips incredibly soft and hydrated for hours, even in dry weather. I also love the larger size — it feels luxurious and lasts a long time. Definitely a staple in my skincare routine now. Highly recommend!" —MeghanGet it from Amazon for $18. A Kylie Cosmetics skin tint everyone on TikTok is HYPING. And honestly, the videos literally look like witchcraft taking place all over my FYP, it's kinda wild. This light-to-medium coverage blurring elixir will literally just look like your skin, like, you may not be able to tell where your skin is and where you put on the skin tint. Check it out on TikTok! It's literally giving it from Ulta for $32 (available in 24 shades). An Ilia Milk Essence moisturizer, a lightweight, hyaluronic acid-packed bottle of goodness that's perfect to incorporate into your skincare routine before sunscreen and makeup. Dry skin and redness are no match for this barrier-renewing miracle. Promising review: "THIS. IS. AMAZING. 😍 I'm obsessed with this face milk! It's so lightweight, and my skin just drinks it in. It feels so good without being heavy or greasy like some other moisturizers. I usually hate putting moisturizers on because I don't like it getting all over my hands, but this is super-absorbent and doesn't leave a greasy residue. I love it so much that I keep a bottle in my purse and my car so I can apply it on the go. I'm kind of [obsessed], TBH. It's the perfect way to keep my skin hydrated all day long!" —Single Mom, Happy Kids!Get it from Amazon for $28+ (available in two sizes). A set of freckle makeup pens to add some different shades of freckles to your gorgeous little face. If you hate when your foundation covers up your beautiful marks, grab these to bring 'em back like Winnie brought Billy Butcherson back from the dead.

A win if I ever knew one. An active acne scar primer made by Topicals for those with acne-prone skin. Not only is it great for blurring pores and raised bumps for a flawless makeup application, but it also can help reduce texture over time with regular use. Makeup + skincare wrapped into one bottle?! Pinch me, I *must* be dreaming. Topicals is a Black woman-owned small biz!Promising review: "This is it. This is the one that *actually* blurs and fills in significant pitted scarring and large pores. My skin is oily/dehydrated. After years of trying every single primer available and being let down, I am astonished. On a totally bare, clean face, I press it into the scarring (don't rub, just tap it in) and wait for 30 seconds. The primer dries completely and levels itself into smoothness. I use Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation on top, and it actually stays put all day. I was worried about the silicone in this primer causing foundation separation issues, but after a 10-hour day, everything is still in place. I did look a tad oily after six hours and had to re-powder." —lcsftwGet it from Sephora for $34. A One/Size glass skin setting spray, a skincare-infused elixir by our favorite witch, Patrick Starrr. Perfect if you need tons of powder to set your makeup on your oily skin, but then end up looking all cake-y and un-skin-like. This'll melt the powder into the rest of your makeup for a seamless, glass-like blend. One/Size is a queer, Filipino-owned business founded by makeup artist Patrick Starrr to ensure that makeup is really one size fits all, as it should review: "WOW Patrick, I never got your first setting spray, but you DEFINITELY got my attention with THIS new one. Of course, I've only used it once, but for me, having to use a setting spray one time makes a difference in whether I like it or not, and WOW, I am OBSESSED. The lay down on this setting spray is GORGEOUS, my new obsession." —nikkicalebGet it from Sephora for $34. And their new On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Setting Spray with SPF 28 so you can have your makeup locked in *and* get 80 minutes of sweat-resistant broad spectrum protection without a white cast or sticky feeling. Plus, reapplying will be so easy. Promising review: "Girl, you're telling me you're giving me a two-in-one. Not only is this one of the best setting sprays out there, but you're telling me it has SPF in it!! You know ima be spraying this all day, every day from now on. I absolutely love how it sets my face and how good it feels, too!" —Elizabeth it from One/Size for $39. A top-notch tubing mascara that'll easily rank above any other mascara you've ever tried. Perfect for anyone who lives for drama — when it comes to their lashes, that is. Promising review: "I am not a morning person, but have to be at work at 7:00 a.m. I don't use a lot of makeup, but mascara is one of the two things I never go without. I have been having trouble even with some of my go-to brands, with the mascara not staying put in the humidity. I read a review about this mascara and decided to give it a go. I love it! The 'tubing' effect gives me noticeable, lovely lashes, and it stays put all day. However, it is by far the easiest I have used in years to get rid of when it's time. One swipe with a cleansing wipe seems to get all the little tubes off — I no longer wake up with residual raccoon eyes even after cleansing at night." —cmpGet it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). A Fenty lip oil for anyone who loves immediate hydration and locked-in moisture for their pout. This trio of perfection — vitamin E, passionfruit oil, and shea butter will help nourish and condition your lips *and* the colors of the oils are stunning. Everything you could want in a lippie product. Promising review: "This is my favorite lip oil that I've tried! The iridescence is beautiful any time of day, and it smells so good it makes me want to eat it! I wear it to work, around the house, and out running errands — you really can wear it for any occasion. I also appreciate that it's not sticky feeling!" —DrStassiGet it from Sephora for $26 (available in two finishes and seven shades). A pack of 50 cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels that are actually reaaaaaally multitalented. You can use 'em to take your makeup off with cleansers and makeup remover, use them to dry your face, to remove face masks, and even to clean your skincare and makeup tools. Your washcloth could have some bacteria on it, especially if you're using it a few days in a row. Use these babies instead and toss the funky rag to the side. A volcanic stone face roller to soak up excess oil even if you're wearing makeup. This baby is reusable AND washable!! Bring it on the go and when you see your face beginning to look a little past the glazed donut stage, let this baby save you! I personally would like to take part in this sorcery. A shimmer-free translucent cream highlight balm that you can use on your eyes, cheeks, and lips to give you that yummy dewy look. It's made with ~skin-soothing~ ingredients that won't clog your pores, such as chamomile and green tea extract to help calm and comfort your sensitive skin. Highlight perfection.

An Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil with an ultra slim tip to help you get the thinnest, most *precise* hair-like strokes ever, keeping your brows looking super natural. It's dual-ended with a spoolie on the other end, so you can blend away easily. If we're choosing magic wands, I'm pickin' this one. The magic that is this product, omg. This brow pencil is my guilty pleasure. It's just reliable, and we love a reliable product. 👏🏽👏🏽 I've been using this for probably close to 10 years. It is a splurge product for me; I do fall for cheaper alternatives and such, but whenever I return, it reminds me that this brow pencil is truly unbeatable. It's really in its own lane. The pencil is sooo thin, so it helps create the most natural, realistic brow-like strokes, which is the look I LOVE. I mean, just look at the pic above, you can literally see the hair strokes I made using this. The colors are also so natural, I personally love the soft brown, even though my hair is naturally a very dark brown — it just looks the most realistic for me. Anastasia, girl, you did your big one with this... oh, and are you a witch? You can tell me, I won't tell reviews: "This is my go-to eyebrow pencil! I have tried many different brands, but I always end up returning to Anastasia Brow Wiz. It stays in place and it looks natural without being too harsh! Excellent product!" —Amy E. Newby"Love this product. Will forever buy this product. Goes on smooth and stays on all day." —Sara A SmithGet it from Amazon for $26 (available in eight shades). And an Anastasia Beverly Hills freeze wax because you want your brows laminated, but your wallet is your biggest hater and *does not* want you to spend that money. DIY home laminated brows, it is! Luckily, this little cauldron of magic will help you achieve the look as if you had cast a spell. Promising review: "This gel keeps my brows in place without feeling stiff or sticky. I love how it blends with my brows and provides a strong hold while still looking natural." —Elena BGet it from Amazon for $23. A blurring setting powder that I'm, like, 98% sure Fiona and Cordelia Goode from AHS: Coven conjured up. Silky smooth, poreless-looking, matte skin for up to 14 hours?! Where's the cauldron that this was made in? An illuminating moisturizer by L'Oreal to help enhance your skin's natural summer ✨glow.✨ It's a perfect, lightweight alternative to heavy foundations that just make you feel suuuuuper hot on those lovely 95-degree days. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder — a magical K-beauty concoction that'll control the shine while keeping the glow. Pores where? Oil where? Not over here, all we know is matte, radiant, glowy skin. Or, all we know is witchcraft, cuz how the heck does this make your skin both glowy and matte?! Not sure, but it's perfection. A Glow Reviver melting lip balm that not only comes in the most stunning shades, but it'll slick your pout DOWN with some deliciously buttery moisture without the sticky feeling. And that shine?! 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. ELF 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). Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer with a sponge on the end that'll cover dark circles so well, everyone will wonder what spell you used to achieve such magic. You'll look well rested and refreshed even on days that aren't. Nobody will even be able to tell! An E.l.f. Holy Hydration! makeup melting cleansing balm reviewers are calling *magic* and comparing to Farmacy's Green Clean balm, which is much more expensive. The hyaluronic acid will keep your skin all hydrated and help protect the moisture barrier. It'll also give your face a nice cleansing and ~melt~ your makeup away. A Too Faced "Better Than Sex" mascara that'll condition your lashes while also adding volume and length, locking your lash curl in place. You'll get the false lash drama without the discomfort. Promising reviews: "Okay… just wow!! So I was looking for a mascara that would actually make my eyelashes look good without having to apply, like, 50 coats before they popped, and this mascara is it! With only one coat, they pop so quickly! It goes on so smoothly, and I absolutely love how thick my lashes become so quickly! Highly recommend this mascara! I will never turn back to any others now!" —Ashly Richardson"This mascara is by far the BEST mascara I've ever used. No matter the price, I will now purchase this forever." —Alexandra MeoliGet it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes, two shades, and a two-pack). A foundation mixing pigment — blue to tone down the orange-y look, orange to bring warmth into cooler foundations, and white to lighten. Whatever the problem, these are the solutions and will help you get the most perfect foundation shade ever. Looks like actually getting a correct match isn't a myth. Thank you, makeup gods. 🙌 A sparkly gloss in the shade "Amber Sparkle" by Anastasia Beverly Hills that'll have you glued to the mirror, trying to get over how stunning this looks on your lips. Promising reviews: "This gloss is INCREDIBLE! So sparkly and not gritty. It looks amazing by itself or over the top of a lipstick. Soooo happy I finally got my hands on this shade." —cannonator"Visibly PACKED with glitter! I like how well it can stand on its own without lipstick and that you don't have to look too closely to see how it sparkles!" —arcturusGet it from Sephora for $22 (available in 20 shades). A lash cluster kit with the fluffiest of fluffy clusters and wispy bottom lashes so you can do a full volume set *with* your bottom ones for so cheap and way less time. It comes with a bond, seal, and review: "These lash clusters are amazing! They stack so beautifully without looking bulky or unnatural. The base is super thin, which makes layering easy and seamless, and they blend perfectly with my natural lashes. Whether I'm going for a light, wispy look or full glam, they hold up and stay put all day. Definitely a staple in my lash routine!" —Ari💕Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 12 other kits). A Nyx "Duck Plump" plumping lip liner that'll give you up to 10 hours of wear and the best ducking plumped up pout of your life. From the high pigment and creamy formula to the affordable price, this baby will easily become a makeup must-have. Promising review: "This lasts all day! As with anything plumping, you'll feel the tingle. I can just apply ChapStick throughout the day and it 'reactivates' the liner and you'll feel the tingle again. I think I'm done with lip fillers, this works soooo well!!! Five stars definitely!" —Kristi it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 12 shades). A color-correcting multistick for your eyes, lips, and cheeks — it'll neutralize dark spots and circles even if you've felt like NOTHING will cover your tired under-eyes lately. Put this over any areas with hyperpigmentation, then put your foundation or concealer on top and boom: tired under-eyes will be gone in a flash. A Tower 28 cream blush that can *also* be used on your lips. If you've been searching for an unbelievably pigmented blush with a radiant, luminous finish, look no further. A Tarte under-eye color corrector to help correct and neutralize dark circles so no one will be able to tell you stayed up a *bit* too late bingeing Love Island. Promising review: "I have dark under-eye circles and have tried countless products. This REALLY helps! I wear it under my concealer, and there is a NOTICEABLE difference when I do/don't wear it. This product is great because it can be worn alone as well, without making you look weird. I have fair skin, and this product is perfect. I will be reordering." —Honesty333Get it from Amazon for $32 (available in three shades). Tirtir foundation that won't betray you four hours after applying it by becoming all cracked, cakey, and creased. Makeup nightmare. This bad boy lasts up to 72 hours and delivers buildable coverage that'll conceal redness, blemishes, and dreaded dark circles.
