Biodance's Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask that'll seriously up the ante on your morning shed. This mask is infused with collagen and grips onto your skin to allow ingredients to penetrate deeper.

Almost 10 years." —gardeniasunrise"I have hormonal fluctuation breakouts and use this mask once/week to keep my skin clear throughout the month.

Love it!" —frangerinePrice: $18+ (available in two sizes)
Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protector Face and Body Lotion SPF 60+ Sunscreen because protecting your skin from the sun doesn't always have to mean slathering it in a white cast and gritty texture. This sunscreen glides on clear and soaks into the skin, leaving behind a radiant glow.

Promising review: "I love using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner! It's been a game changer for my skincare routine, especially with helping to fade my post-acne marks. After consistent use, my skin feels smoother and more even, and the dark spots have noticeably lightened. It's gentle enough for regular use, yet effective enough to make a visible difference. Highly recommend it if you're dealing with post-acne pigmentation or just want brighter, clearer skin!" —alimka14Price: $8.70+ (available in two sizes)
Olehenriksen's Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment that, like a lip gloss, creates a mirror-like shine you'll want to pair with every lip liner in your arsenal. But! This isn't a lip gloss, it's a lip treatment packed with smoothing peptides and moisturizing kokum butter.
Promising review: "Amazing!!!!! I have fuller lips but fine lines, so they can look dull. This almost immediately fills those lines. This is a balm, and that can be a different feeling if you're looking for a gloss with a 'slip' feeling. The gloss effect for me lasts about 2-3 hours, but the benefits, like hydration, last all day. I'm excited to see how continued use of this product works given the peptides." —Sephora CustomerPrice: $22 (available in four high shine shades and four shimmer shades)

Dr. Jart+'s Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Mask, because using a mask doesn't always have to mean getting your fingers messy with a goopy formula. This sheet mask comes pre-soaked with ingredients like ceramide NP, glycerin, and panthenol to help nourish the skin barrier and calm the skin.
Promising review: "This is honestly the best mask I've tried. My skin was irritated, red, and dry after trying a new exfoliator, but after this mask, my skin was instantly hydrated and glowing. This mask repaired my skin barrier within a couple of hours, and I am SO impressed with how great it improved my skin. One hundred percent a need for a compromised skin barrier." —TeynikaPrice: $10

Tatcha's Rice Wash that gets wayyyyy down into your pores to help get rid of gunk. While this soft cream-to-foam works to buff the skin clean, hyaluronic acid and red algae work over time to moisturize the skin for a nonstripping feel.
Promising review: "Every time my friends or family come over, they use this. And every time they are like?? OK, wow that's amazing. It's just the best. I didn't know a cleanser that's on your face for like max 60 seconds could make such a difference, but it does." —KaityLauzPrice: $18+ (available in two sizes)
Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush, which is more of a skincare serum than it is makeup! This serum blush contains jojoba-coated pigments that, yes, add a cute flush to the skin — but also help moisturize the skin for a dewy, bouncy effect.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE!! I was literally STALKING this product and got it as soon as it was early access. If you're a natural/light makeup girlie this is definitely worth it for you.

I use it after my moisturizer and it really helps everything lock in. This doesn't bother my sensitive skin and the scent doesn't bother me. I've come back to this product time after time for the past two years." —LoughlyPrice: $40+ (available in two sizes)
Topicals' Brightening & Clearing Serum, which uses tranexamic acid to gently help smooth the skin, brighten the complexion, and fade dark spots! *And* it comes in a cute metal tube that you'll want to show off in your #Shelfies.
Promising review: "This serum has noticeably faded my hyperpigmentation and evened out my skin tone, giving me a brighter and more radiant complexion. I appreciate that it's unscented, making it perfect for my sensitive skin. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to incorporate into my daily skincare routine. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone!" —beautykait Price: $28

Peace Out's 2% Salicylic Acid Early Stage Acne Dots will help you say buh-bye to breakouts in a flash. Pimple patches are great for keeping your fingers from picking at pimples (which leads to scarring... so don't do it!). What's more, these patches actually contain salicylic acid to help dissolve clogged pores and fade scars quicker.
Promising review: "I tried these on a cystic flare-up, and it worked wonders!! I usually break out around my period, so I put them on a couple of spots I could feel forming. They cleared up areas that would've been around for a week." —Michelina R.Price: $20 for an eight-pack
Farmacy's Green Clean makeup melting balm that'll whisk every last trace of your day away! This balm helps melt anything from waterproof mascara and sunscreen to pollutants trapped on the skin.

Promising review: "I've tried other makeup balms, and most leave an annoying film on my skin. Not this one! It dissolves into a milky liquid that's easy to wash away, leaving no residue. A great makeup remover on its own or as the first step in a double cleanse." —ThruhikerPrice: $18+ (available in two sizes and a fragrance-free option)
And Caudalie's Vinoperfect Brightening Dark Spot Serum, which also happens to be a vitamin C alternative! This is great for anyone looking to diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation while veiling their skin with antioxidant protection.
Promising review: "I don't write reviews very often, but I have to write one for this product. I have struggled with dark red spots caused by hormonal and cystic acne — meaning, those deep pimples that don't scar, but the redness and color don't go away. I have used this serum for A WEEK, and these dark spots have already FADED. And I mean, FADED. I am THRILLED with this product, and it will be a regular in my routine forever. I love anything by Caudalie, but this stuff is magic." —PeytonSheaPrice: $82

This $16 'Botox alternative' sold out on Amazon — but you can still buy it here
Last week, I wrote about Botox alternatives and, while I've been a beauty editor long enough to know that no one skin-care product will erase wrinkles as powerfully as injecting neurotoxins does, experts I spoke with explained that a few key ingredients can make a substantial difference in keeping aging skin bouncy, vibrant and even smooth. Among these is something called peptides and among the most potent peptide products is this one from The Inkey List, which is so popular that it regularly sells out on Amazon. Luckily, I found this miracle potion available at Sephora for under $20. "Peptides stimulate collagen production. As we age, collagen production declines, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and thinner skin," explains Boston board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Akshay Sanan. Sanan says that peptides send messages to our skin cells, in effect "telling" them to produce more collagen, elastin and other structural proteins to keep skin firm and plump. "Peptides are small chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. In skin care, peptides are used to mimic natural processes in the skin and encourage anti-aging effects like collagen production and improved elasticity," he says. "Peptides also strengthen the skin barrier — the outermost layer — protecting against moisture loss and environmental damage, Sanan says. "Peptides can actually have a 'Botox-like' effect by relaxing facial muscles and reducing the depth of wrinkles caused by repetitive movements. Lastly, peptides like copper peptides have antioxidant properties, protecting skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure, pollution and stress." Thousands of reviewers across the internet are obsessed with this in-demand serum (there are even entire Reddit threads dedicated to where to find it). Most fans of the product say it's made a difference in the texture of their skin, the depth of their fine lines and wrinkles and, especially, in hydration and overall skin glow. "I'm 52 with combination skin," says one satisfied customer. "I use this as part of my night routine — just a dime-size amount is enough for face and neck. It's silky and hydrating, skin drinks it right up! Great price point too!" "Can't live without this!" exclaims another. "I've bought this product a couple of times and absolutely LOVE it. It's lightweight and feels amazing on my skin. I've noticed my skin is more firm around my mouth and eyes. I recommended it to a few of my friends and they are buying it now, too." And, according to this five-star reviewer: "You'll see a difference right away, I started to notice results within a day, somehow. I just use it as a spot treatment on parts of my skin where I am showing signs of aging, for me this is my neck and forehead. It's making a big difference already and I am pretty amazed, as I was always skeptical about anti-aging products." Though the vast majority of reviewers enjoyed their Collagen Peptide Serum, some found the formula to be too thin and too tacky. Others complain that, while they love the product itself, they were less enamored of its price tag. "Love this serum, but the price is high for the amount of product you get," says one disappointed fan. "The packaging isn't the best and needs a dropper or different lid. But the serum inside of this bottle is amazing and works for me." "Needs a dropper or better instructions!" laments another. "[They're] very misleading. Hence the single star. Directions advise to apply in a 'pea-sized' amount. You would expect a serum with some substance, right? Nope. Like water, and when I tipped the bottle for my pea-sized amount half of it went right into the sink."

The Best Little Treats Are The Ones You Use (And Love) All The Time: Here Are 36 Of 'Em
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Your inner child wants a reward, but your outer adult can make sure it's actually super useful, too. 1. A set of self-heating foot masks that'll help bring some relief after a long shift or a night out with your deadliest shoes. Just pop on the included booties and enjoy the tingly sensation of Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint. Get a closer look on TikTok! BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has these in her self-care toolkit: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $14.55. 2. A three-pack of polarized sunglasses to ensure you're fully stocked with a hearty supply of sunnies that look expensive but won't break your heart when you inevitably crush a pair in the bottom of your purse. Amazon Promising review:"I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans, which look identical! Fit great, and with the price point, I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" — Jessica M Get a pack of three from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 13 sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs). 3. E.l.f.'s new sheer tint "Squeeze Me" lip balm infused with moisturizing hyaluronic acid because a little birdie told me it's a mega-affordable alternative for the viral Summer Fridays butter balm. No pouting over prices with this pocket-size formula! Check it out on TikTok! You can count BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord among this balm's many fans: "I love love love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color. I love the vanilla flavor so much, it's got a similar vibe to the birthday cake flavor that Glossier sometimes carries." Promising review:"I got this product because of the hype of it on TikTok. This lip balm smells SO GOOD. And hydrated my lips." — kayla Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors). 4. A set of pastel "unbreakable" deep plates if you're looking for dishware that looks splurge-worthy without the scary price tag.

Amazon Note that the dishes are microwave-safe for up to 3 minutes!! Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it's an in-between size, like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.55 (also available as bowls!). 5. A pair of "floating" air conduction headphones for everyone who would hands-down pick headphones if they could — but who's got the bag space for that?! This is all the compact convenience of AirPods in a less invasive style that perches comfortably on your ear without sacrificing privacy or audio and call quality. Purity is a small business that specializes in tech products and accessories. Promising review:"I've tried soooo many different types of earbuds over the years with no success. But these Purity open-air headphones are the first pair I've ever tried that actually fit well, don't hurt, and sound great! So, after many years of trying, I've FINALLY found the right ones for my ears!! Woohoo! They are comfortable, lightweight, have great sound clarity, are easy to operate, have great battery life, and people can hear me clearly when I talk on the phone with them. I definitely recommend these, especially if regular in-ear buds don't work for you either." — CPic Get it from Amazon for $16.49 (available in 16 styles). 6. A stick-on prismatic window film since it doubles as a privacy screen for a curtain alternative with a big visual impact. What makes for better decor than LITERAL rainbows?!

The light prism effect gives my apartment a very whimsical feeling that I love. Now I don't have to worry about people looking into my apartment.

Do what you will with that info lol." — Violinanonymous Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes and three colors). 7. A set of eye-popping fine point pens because why settle for just black and blue pens when you could have all the colors of the rainbow at your disposal?! These are designed not to bleed through thin pages, so all your planners and journals can get the flair pen treatment. Promising review:"I love how this pen feels to hold and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" — Kate Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $8.99. 8. A NeeDoh Nice Cube if you exist at the center of a Venn diagram where "fidgeter" and "slime lover" intersect. This goo-filled sensory toy has the most delightful *squish*, a satisfying weight, and is magically not the type of sticky that picks up every fleck of dust in the tri-state area. Check it out on TikTok. Promising review: "High quality and very durable! This cube is fantastic for any age and any need. The cube provides slight resistance when compressed, which is both stress-relieving and satisfying!!! Once squeezed, it quickly returns to its natural shape. A great choice!" — Joe stevenson Get it from Amazon for $8.14 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random!). 9.

Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you're someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I'm quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y'all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED. Best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I'm happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." — nancy Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $10.99. 10. A padded cropped workout tank with a built-in bra so you can ditch painful underwires and hot layers in favor of something lighter, cooler, and oh-so stylish. Promising review:"I ordered this bra/tank top to compare to the Lululemon Align tank. It is amazing! For reference, I wear a size 8/10 in the Align tank, and I ordered a size medium in this one. The similarities are endless, with the only difference being the material. The material of this tank seems to be more sturdy than the Align tank, so I definitely love that the material will hold up better and likely longer than my Align tanks! If you're looking for a cheaper option this one is it! I cannot wait to purchase it in more colors :)" — Z Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and in 29 colors). 11. A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick if your puffy, aching eyes feel like cinderblocks in the morning they're so heavy.

Check out one user's glowing review on TikTok. Promising review:"I tried this after seeing TikTok reviews. I love how it feels when it goes on. It's very cooling and soothing. I used it during the day to freshen my under-eye area. I just ordered more, so I have one in my purse and car as well!" — MaryR Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three formulas and multi-packs). 12. A roomy duffel bag that's got everything you'd want in a travel bag. On top of being surprisingly durable for the price *and* water-resistant, it features a side panel for mounting onto rolling luggage and a set of genius compartments to separate clean and dirty clothes. What better way to test it out than booking that weekend getaway you've been pondering? Amazon, Yes, it does include an adjustable long strap! Promising review: "I recently went camping and was able to pack a lot into this bag. It zipped up easily. I love the color; it's almost a 'neutral pink' and not too 'look at me, I'm Barbie in the woods!' The shoulder strap was comfortable, and the handles were comfortable, too. It was snowing while unloading from the truck to the cabin, and despite this bag getting wet (and VERY cold), everything inside was very dry." — Smile Saurus Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in a variety of colors and two styles). 13. A rechargeable electric lighter because it's windproof, splash-proof, portable, and just overall very nice to look at. No more empty plastic lighters in the trash with this around! Promising review:"I got the three-pack, one for me and two as gifts to friends who are trying to reduce waste. We all love these lighters because a single charge really does last; we don't have to buy any more disposable lighters for the foreseeable future, and the length is perfect for hard-to-reach wicks. Getting used to how to place the arc on the wick and understanding that there was a safety timeout took me a bit to get used to but wasn't frustrating." — Salim Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in nine colors). 14. A pair of wicker organizers to effortlessly turn that one cluttered surface you hate into an aesthetic catch-all your eyes can gladly gaze upon. Wayfair Promising review:"Cute! Makes my bathroom look much more put together than just having products loose on the shelves." — Katherine Get them from Wayfair for $25.99. 15. A copy of Burn After Writing if you want to spend less time scrolling and more time reflecting. This guided journal is filled with loads of prompts, questions, and thought experiments to get in touch with feelings and memories, both old and new. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable for different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently. You're so much more than what's been done to you, and someone's inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.32. 16. A box of six shower steamers to enhance your shower experience with a scent for every occasion. Need a morning pick-me-up? Try the grapefruit. Stuffed up? Menthol and eucalyptus. Help to unwind? You guessed it — pop open that lavender-scented steamer and enjoy! Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising review: "I knew of bath bombs but never got the shower! I got a variety pack with 6 different scents. The first I chose was lavender. I did as directed, placing it under light steam, and my shower turned into a wonderfully scented home spa shower! I stayed in my shower longer than usual since it was such a pleasant experience! I HIGHLY recommend buying these, especially if you enjoy showers versus baths. They're also packaged in such a nice way they'd be great for gifting!" — Rumeur Get a six-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in larger pack sizes). 17. A pack of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels because bacteria on your terry towels and washcloths (even freshly clean ones) could be the sneaky culprit behind your breakouts. This disposable alternative is absorbent enough to dry your hands and face but can also be used wet when paired with your favorite makeup remover or cleanser. One towel with endless possibilities! Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products. Promising review:"I absolutely love these. I saw these on TikTok and bought them. I will be buying more. They are great for my face. Really soft and VERY durable and strong, even when wet. You can wash your face [with it] or just dry your face, either way, it's the best option." — Sahara Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.95. 18. A non-stick trio lasagna pan so you can accommodate the whole crew's dietary restrictions (no meat, no cheese, no gluten, etc.) without cross-contamination or employing far too many dishes. Attention, crispy-edge lovers! This is basically a requirement in your kitchen IMO. Not just for lasagna! You can fully use these for brownies, blondies, and bread too. Promising review: "As someone who has a child (now a teenager) who will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it but now I can make him a section without cheese and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square. Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family." — TRU Get it from Amazon for $22.99. 19. An adjustable mini belted pack to wear around your waist or shoulder for unobtrusive-yet-convenient access to all your essentials. The jig is up! Fanny packs are cool again (not to mention so functional), and reviewers love this one as a cheaper alternative to the Lululemon bag you've probably seen everywhere. Promising review: "TikTok told me this was an alternative for Lululemon, and it's true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can't beat it." — Jolie Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in 37 colors). 20. A heavy-duty mason jar cold brew maker because it's surprisingly aesthetic for something this straightforward, so you can really start ~romanticizing~ your coffee routine. More of an iced tea fan? Reviewers have used it for delicious brews with great success. County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar-style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories. Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and I throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 21. A subtle nail concealer that adds a semi-sheer, buildable wash of color to easily mask any uneven discoloration or ridges without splurging at the salon. Promising reviews: " I've been using this for a few weeks, and I can't get over the change to my nails! They've grown and managed to resist breaking during a cross-country flight. Zero chips or cracks after some serious abuse. Deep ridges in one nail are completely concealed. It gives the look of health and youth in one quick coat." — McLister Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades). Check out our Londontown Illuminating Nail Concealer review for more deets! 22. A suction overflow drain cover since shallow water and that ambient draining sound isn't exactly your idea of relaxing. With this simple cover, your teeny apartment bath can become the deep soaking tub of your dreams! Promising review:"This product is genius, and I wish I had it years ago! I love to take baths — that's my 'me' time and time to relax. The downfall was just never feeling like there was enough water in the tub and I was annoyed with the sound of water always draining from the overflow. This has solved my problem! A FULL tub of water and no annoying draining sounds! When I'm done, I just remove the cover and hang it up to dry. Easy peasy! The suction is strong, and I've not had a single issue so far. You can't beat the price, too!" — K.C. Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors). 23. A silicone Magic Mushroom funnel for a kitchen tool that's cute enough to leave displayed on your countertop even when it's not working hard as a regular funnel. Amazon To use it, just flip it inside out and stick the "stem" through your container's opening. Plus, it's dishwasher-safe! Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" — Abbey Klem Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two sizes). 24. A snazzy two-slice touchscreen toaster to majorly upgrade your ancient one without succumbing to the TikTok hype of a similar $350 style. Choose from seven different toastiness levels (complete with a helpful visual guide), and even get specific about the carb type for results worth cele-bread-ing. Promising review:"I love this toaster! It has all the options I need: lifter, countdown timer, visual icon of the toast colors, and all the toast varieties anyone could want, from white to grain to bagel to waffle to English muffin to gluten-free. It not only has reheat and defrost options, but you can even add more toasting time. Truly, it has all the bells and whistles anyone could want and is easy to use." — Tanya Feddern-Bekcan Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in five colors and a four-slice toaster style). 25. A whimsical cloud-shaped magnetic key holder because its too-cute design just might be motivation enough to finally put your keys in an easy-to-find location, so you don't tear apart your room hunting for them later. Promising review:"One of the most useful purchases I've ever made on Amazon. I use it every single day to hang my keys. I've had it for at least half a year now. Hasn't lost any magnetism." — Makenah Get it from Amazon for $7.98. 26. A ~berry~ cute glass water bottle for staying hydrated on the go without succumbing to plastic packaged temptation. Its slim size makes it perfect for slipping in any bag, and it's dishwasher-safe, so you don't have to fret over proper cleanings. BuzFeed Shopping writer Rachelle Yang loves her new bottle: "I recently received this bottle (just in time for summer), and I absolutely adore it. The little strawberries are oh-so darling, and whenever I bring this out with me, I get endless compliments — seriously. Plus, the glass isn't slippery on the outside because it has a silicone coating, so I'm never scared of dropping it, especially because I'm quite the klutz. It holds the perfect amount of water for me and is slim enough to fit in any of my purses and bags. Even though it's not insulated, it surprisingly keeps my water cold for a while, even when it's blazing hot out! I also love that it's dishwasher safe (the glass part only) because I cannot tell you how much I hate cleaning the inside of bottles!!!" Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in two other designs). 27. A cutesy cloud-shaped utility knife if you're an online shopping FIEND. This will make quick, clean work out of slicing open all those packages, and six come in a pack so you can stash them in your desk, home, car — wherever! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the cloud knife in action. Promising review:"I love these — sturdy, sharp with retractable blade. I keep them in different rooms for opening packages or breaking down boxes to recycle. Would recommend and buy again." — Amy Yasneski Get a set of six from Amazon for $13.99. 28. A rechargeable 3-in-1 hand fan to beat the heat no matter where it strikes. It's the perfect size to keep stashed in a bag *and* it doubles as a power bank for on-the-go charging. Did I mention the built-in flashlight? Just in case it wasn't already multifunctional enough for ya! Promising review:"This is one cute little powerhouse. It's a fan, a flashlight, and a power brick all in one. I got this a few weeks ago to help when I'm in the throes of a pre-menopausal hot flash. I've used it quite a few times, and I just had to charge it for the first time today. The fan has two powerful speeds, and I like that it has a quick automatic turn-off feature if the blades come in contact with anything; the blades are plastic and don't hurt, but it's still a nice feature. The flashlight is bright, and the charging feature is really great. I love it!" — HolNicHai Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six colors). 29. A Dracula garlic crusher because it's obnoxiously cute and can mince several cloves at once with a simple twist of his head. Now, you can quickly prep garlicky goodness that'll keep the vampires at bay. Well, all of them except this one! This little bloodsucker is 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and dishwasher-safe! Promising review:"I was getting very tired of the garlic presses that turn garlic into a mush and require incredible force to mash the clove into unrecognizable oblivion. This is far easier and turns the garlic into pieces rather than mush." — C. Pearlman Get it from Amazon for $22.95. 30. A genius candle warmer lamp that looks so darn good and releases the fresh scents of your fave candle without the pesky fire hazard of a lit flame. Plus, you can easily use it as a 2-in-1 mug warmer, too! It includes a halogen warming bulb and even has a dimmer so you can adjust it to your desired brightness level. Get a closer look at it on TikTok (it looks super cute in a kitchen, too)! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says: "🎶 It's me, hi. I'm the impulsive buyer, it's me. 🎶 After seeing this gooorgeous candle warmer online time and time again (and trying to ignore the urge to buy what I absolutely didn't need)...I finally did it, and WOW, am I glad I did. This lamp looks even better in person, it warms all of my candles evenly, and after moving it to my desk, I figured out it can be used as the cutest mug warmer, too! It comes with two compatible 50-watt warming bulbs that melt candles from top to bottom. The dimming feature is also really convenient for both the brightness of the light and for how fast or slow you want your candle to melt! This would definitely be a 12/10 gift." Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two colors). 31. A set of instant cocktail packets because it's all the delicious flavors of your favorite craft bevvies without the time and energy spent shopping for obscure ingredients and mixing up your brew. Now, you can lean into the lazy at home or pack these as a convenient on-the-go option for a beach or camping trip. Craftmix is a small business that specializes in instant drink mixers. These are all vegan and gluten-free — all you have to do is add booze, water, or the seltzer of your choice! Reviewers also love it as a party favor. Promising review:"These margarita mixes are absolutely perfect for hanging out with your girlfriends. They are so refreshing when mixed with tequila and sparkling soda. There were enough drink mixes for 12 margaritas. I also dipped the glasses in rock salt. Great value for your money. I'm going to purchase more for our taco night." — Suze Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 10 different flavors and a variety pack). 32. A super lightweight minimalist mesh tote bag so you can go to the beach without finding sand in your bag for millennia after. Reviewers love this style for general travel, too, since it's made of a super tough, tear-resistant nylon that can hold over 30 pounds and is cuter than something this useful has any right to be. Promising review: "I got the khaki for a beach vacation at an upscale family resort, so I wanted to make sure to have something nice enough yet not over the top. This bag is perfect, nice looking, roomy, does not sag, and though it holds its shape, not at all stiff. You can really stuff it. There's a good-sized zippered inner pocket for valuables that will protect from sand. It has a modern straw look that is nice enough for beach shops and restaurants. After lots of use, the only thing I did to clean it was to shake it out. It still looks brand new and is ready for next year." — Yellow Rose of Texas Get it from Amazon for $13.50 (available in 11 colors and two-packs). 33. An adorable nonslip waterproof shelf liner to bring some joy-inducing pizzazz to your otherwise dreary fridge and pantry shelves while simultaneously making future cleanup jobs sooo quick and easy. Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 19 patterns). 34. Lookalike suede clogs that have been fondly referred to online as "potato shoes," which makes perfect sense since you're probably going to love this supremely comfortable shoe about as much as you love french fries and hash browns. Promising review:"I love these! I was hoping they could compare for the Birkenstock brand, and I'm so glad they can! I debated whether to purchase these, but when they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. They look and feel just like my Birkenstocks for a fraction of the price. I will definitely be buying them in the other colors. Their fit is accurate as well. I wear a size 10 and ordered a size 10. I have about 1/2 inch of the shoe behind my heel. I would say they are a perfect fit!" — Alicia Lewis Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–14 and in seven colors). 35. A basically magic anti-humidity spray because it's like an invisible raincoat for your hair, coating strands in an imperceptible layer of water resistance, meaning beads of liquid just roll right off. You do need heat to activate it, but results last through up to four shampoos, so you can cut back on time spent with your straightener. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING!!!! I recommend 100%. I have long, wavy hair, and humidity is not my friend (did I mention I live in Miami, where humidity is 99% all summer?!?!). Since I started using this product, my hair is incredibly manageable and looks healthy, shiny, and smooth all day long. EVEN AFTER WORKING OUT!!! I really, really, really recommend this product. Oh, and does last up to three shampoos!! Totally worth every penny!!!!!" — Juan Pablo Diaz Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). 36. A silly spinning pill dispenser for organizing your daily vitamins and pills, with the added side effect of feeling like you're at a carnival spinning a fun-filled prize wheel. In this case, the prize is your prescription. Huzzah! Check out a TikTok of the pill dispenser in action. Promising review:"So I am horrible about remembering if I took my pills. And I HATE digging into the old pill boxes or doing the tip-over. I don't know what it is, but I have always disliked it. I hung this on my wall right by the kitchen, so I pass it like 5,000 times a day, and I can't not see it. It is so fun pushing the little orange button to watch the meds fall out. I mean, it kind of feels like a really weird game of Wheel of Fortune, but I like it." — Grofica Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in four colors).
