A picture is worth a thousand words but these beauty before and afters are truly priceless.
1. A Gold Bond firming neck and chest cream containing salicylic acid, glycerin, and aloe that hydrates, exfoliates, and helps keep delicate skin looking its best. Your skincare routine shouldn't stop at your jawline —your neck and chest deserve a little love, too!
Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It's not only soothing, but it also feels like it's really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It's become a must-have in my skincare routine." — JAcosta
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
2. A tube of Essence Lash Princess mascara to give you lashes so dramatic, no one will believe you when you tell them you bought it for less than $5 on Amazon. No need to spend hours wrestling with falsies to get the long lashes of your dreams. Reviewers also rave that this lasts all day. Thank goodness! You have better things to do than reapply throughout the day.
Promising review: "I tried this mascara for the first time in 2020 after seeing it go viral on TikTok. It was too inexpensive not to try, right?!?! Well, let me just say how upset I was to find out this little inexpensive bottle outperformed EVERY expensive mascara I had ever bought. This is now the only stuff I use!" — Amanda Sims
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack and two colors).
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review.
3. A biotin shampoo that could help hair look thicker by strengthening strands to prevent breakage. It's made with a blend of botanical extracts to help nourish and cleanse your scalp. If your shower had a VIP section, this bottle would definitely be on the list.
Maple Holistics is a small personal care brand founded by lifelong pals Ben and Motti after they searched for solutions to Ben's hair loss and scalp irritation.

Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not a fan of the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four sizes and three scents).
4. Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne, pregnancy, injuries, or surgeries thanks to a powerful (but gentle) combo of vitamin A, vitamin E, sunflower, lavender, and chamomile oils. Your skin will thank you.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers say it sinks into the skin easily and never ever leaves a greasy residue.
Promising review:" I am a 70-year-old woman with all the skin issues those years bring: fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, uneven skin tone, and dry patches. This oil is lightweight, absorbs nicely, and has a fairly pleasant smell, although a bit flowery. The main thing is it works. I could tell a difference in my skin the first week of use. My skin is hydrated and glowing, and the overall tone has improved considerably. Believe me when I say I have used a lot of serums, oils, and moisturizers over the years. I wish I had found this oil years ago." — Connie J
Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in two sizes).
5. An Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray that is a MUST for preventing your makeup from smudging and fading. For context, it kept one BuzzFeed Swiftie's makeup in place ALL night when she went to The Eras Tour (a 3.5-hour long show, mind you). If that's not a testament to how well it works, IDK what is.
BuzzFeed shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this and absolutely loves it, "I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking many trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use, I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.)
Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that timespan: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, multiple meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying multiple times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non -waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray."
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes).
6. Or a highly rated Nyx matte setting spray for spritzing on after your makeup routine so your stunning lewk stays put no matter what the day may throw your way. Plus! It happens to be a great (and of course, cheaper) swap for Mac and Urban Decay's setting sprays.
Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise, it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray, and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — DH
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in dewy, plump, and radiant finishes, and in a jumbo size).
7. A Revlon hot air brush you can use to dry and style your hair at the same time! If you're someone who is often pressed for time when getting ready, this wonderful gadget is a true game-changer.
Promising review:"I have a lot of hair. A LOT. Like, 'Wow, is that Wookiee over there?' LOTS. I have looked into having a third arm surgically implanted. My shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work. This thing took me eight minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband in the next room, and in fact, I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in eight minutes. Several more minutes were still lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror. If you struggle with an overabundance of hair as I do, then seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try." — Chris
Some reviewers with 4a–c hair like this brush but others didn't. If you're looking for something that was designed with coilier hair in mind, you may wanna check out the Revlon One-Step paddle brush.
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in five colors).
8. An under-eye brightener that's gone super viral super quick and FOR GOOD REASON! This awesome stuff contains hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and brighten the area under your eyes. Your new holy grail for concealing dark circles hath arrived!
www.amazon.com
The color adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
9. A super cool blush oil designed to provide a natural-looking flush on all skin tones. The song and dance of having to guess which shade would work best for you when testing out a new brand or worse...having to drive to the store to get your shade match IRL...this stuff is here to save the day!
Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small biz that sells cruelty-free makeup formulated with clean and vegan ingredients — so clean, you can wear it when you sleep!
Promising review:"Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it, too, because I wanted to see the color change again, and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth, and it was easy to rub in and blend out." — Summer
Get it from Amazon for $27 or Youthforia for $36.
10. A L'Oreal Paris rinse-out lamellar water treatment with a cult following that'll leave your locks looking shiny and silky in just eight seconds. It boasts the same ingredients found in Redken's lamellar treatment for a fraction of the price.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"Wow! I have waist-length 3c curly color-treated hair that's usually a nightmare to deal with in the summer, and this stuff is a game changer. My hair is silky, my curls are defined, it dried in like half the usual time…seriously impressed!" — Stavana Jubinsky
"I'm a professional hairstylist and Matrix, Redken, and L'Oreal are all owned by L'Oreal, and each line has a lamellar water in it at different prices. I am here to tell you that they are all the exact same ingredients in different bottles. So buy the cheapest and save yourself some cash. Your hair will love you for it. I love this stuff." — anonymous87
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
11. A tea tree oil and body wash that can help mitigate a plethora of common skin troubles like athlete's foot, acne, ringworm, and dry skin — just to name a few. Side effects include wondering where the heck this little miracle worker has been your whole life?!
www.amazon.com
Learn more about the many uses of tea tree oil at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising reviews:"I usually use Dr. Bronner's, but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using it. Love the fresh smell." — KJeanine ATL
"This is my favorite body wash ever! I was dealing with some serious postpartum BO, and this saved me! Results from the first use!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a two-pack).
12. A Maybelline concealer because reviewers love its excellent price point, smooth sponge applicator, and the fact that it provides great under-eye coverage on those mornings when you wake after broken sleep. It helps brighten up the area and brings a lovely glow to your gorg eyes. ✨
Promising review:"Throughout high school, I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok. And trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes.' And the best part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you're starting out or want to try something new I definitely recommend you try this out." — Liela Lee

Get it from Amazon for $8.79 (available in 24 shades).
13. A dry shampoo powder you simply tap onto your roots, shake the excess powder out with your fingertips, style, and be on your merry way. SO easy! Not to mention, thanks to the fact that it's small and a powder (vs. an aerosol), it's easy to pack on trips and bring through TSA or toss in your bag to keep on hand for daytime excursions.
Promising review: "I've tried a few dry shampoos, from the spray in a bottle to powder. And I'd have to say this one has been my favorite. My very first time using it, I didn't know how much to put and ended up coating my hair with A LOT. It left my hair feeling very dry and straw-like. I almost returned and got a refund but decided to give it another chance. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Trust me. You only need a few dabs on your head, and that's it. You can see the extra volume almost instantly. This stuff works sooo well that I wake up on my third unwashed hair day, and it looks better than the second day when I used the dry shampoo. And let's not forget to mention how convenient and compact the whole thing is. It's so nice to just pat it on your head with no mess." — Thuy
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in six shades and multi-packs).
14. A fan-favorite Sol de Janeiro body cream made with guarana and cupuacu butter to bring smoothness and hydration to your skin. Best of all, it has a delish pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla scent and is gonna have everyone you talk to commenting on how darn good you smell.
Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes).
15. A wondrously cool lip stain masque that might just make you want to launch your very own beauty influencer career, and here's why: When you first apply it to your lips, it starts off blue (and a quite beautiful blue, at that). After letting it set for 10–30 seconds, you simply wipe it away with a damp tissue or towel to reveal a BEAUTIFUL natural lip stain. How can you NOT want to document that process and share with your followers?!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I didn't know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute, and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It's true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn't come off! If you like lip stains, get this product! It's a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." — Brandy
Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 27 shades).
16. A rosemary mint scalp and hair-strengthening oil formulated with a combination of over 30 essential oils and nutrients to help nourish your locks, increase circulation, and potentially provide relief to an itchy scalp. Plus, it's great for all hair types and boasts working particularly well on types 3a–4c hair.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Every year, without fail, I experience a flaky, dry scalp at the end of winter/early spring. I've tried so many things throughout the years, but after putting this hair oil in a post, I convinced myself that I should try it. I was hesitant because my hair does have a tendency to get a bit oily (oily hair and a dry scalp, can I pick a struggle?!), but I figured I'd take the plunge.
I am so glad I did. I've had this hair oil for three weeks, and NO FLAKY SCALP!!! No itchiness! Here's what I will say, tho: I have to be careful about when I choose to use this. I'm usually the kind of person who if I'm going out for the day with friends, shower and wash my hair beforehand so my hair is clean and damp before styling. When I used the oil then, it did make my hair look greasy after styling. Now, what I do is wash my hair the night before, apply the oil, and let my hair air dry. The next morning, it's ready to style and doesn't look greasy! Not sure why this works better, but it just does!
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
17. A pack of exfoliating pads aimed at helping reduce the appearance of pores. I know, I know — it sounds too good to be true, but gimme a second to tell you how these work. One side of the pad (the ~exfoliation side~) cleans out pores and dead skin cells, while the other side of the pad (the ~embossed side~) smooths and tones for a silky finish. Don't believe me? See for yourself!
Promising review:"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it's been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. The product is soothing, gentle on my skin (I have extremely sensitive skin), has no strong smell, the cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value, and I'll definitely be repurchasing these." — Ee El
Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17.90 (available in four other styles).
18. A styling mousse that's especially great for folks with curly or textured hair. It's made with coconut and shea oils to help give locks some volume, definition, shine, and hold without unwanted stiffness. Say adios crunchy hair!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"First, let me start with the price. My favorite thing about this product is its price versus its quality. Most times, we find a low or responsible-priced product...well, let's say you get what you pay for, so usually you're left disappointed, BUT this stuff is wonderful. The smell, the de-tangling ability it has, plus I love how soft my hair is and my curls. No stiff hair and, on the days I want a little more hold or crispness, I just mix some of my firmer hold mousse in with this in my hands before I apply it. Wish I knew about this product sooner. Thanks, TikTok." — Angelia Taggarrt
Get it from Amazon for $3.98 (also available in a pack of two).
19. A Briotech spray reviewers say is a GREAT alternative to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray — both are formulated with hypochlorous acid, an ingredient that helps calm inflammation and redness. Just give your skin a little spritz and bask in the relief!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings.
Promising reviews: "This is a [swap] for the Tower 28 spray that's 28 bucks for 4 ounces. I use this after cleansing my face before toners or serums. It's healed my acne. Also great for eczema. I have recommended this to so many people. Thanks, Biotech, for saving me money! Lifelong customer here." — Mea Beauty
"Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray! It's been absolutely amazing at reducing acne and texture! It's also so refreshing and gives a lil' glow. So in love!" — BK
Get an 8-ounce bottle from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and packs of two).
20. An eye primer because you didn't spend time perfecting your smoky shadow look just for it to *poof* disappear come lunchtime. Not to mention, you don't wanna have to lug your cosmetics bag to work and redo your entire eye makeup look in the office bathroom before heading off to that Hinge date.
Promising review:"I have very oily skin and extremely oily eyelids. I'm not a big makeup person (oily skin, yo), but I picked up some pretty Urban Decay palettes on sale and wanted to give them a fighting chance. I came across this product, and with all the positive reviews, decided to give it a try. Where has this been all my life? It's lightweight, evens out the skin tone on my lids, and keeps my eye makeup looking great all day. Now, I even wear the primer by itself with no makeup because of the oil control. I'll be buying this stuff forever." — amarch99
Get it from Amazon for $13.60.
21. A collagen hair protein treatment to help repair damage from things like heat, sun, and dye, just to name a few, because we want you to be able to do all the cool, experimental things with your hair. Go ahead — dye it, fry it, do whatever makes your heart happy. This stuff has your back.
Promising review:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles

22. A pack of dark spot remover soap bars formulated with a combo of *takes a deep breath* vitamins C and E, turmeric, retinol, hyaluronic acid, kojic acid, olive oil, and shea butter to help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of dark skin spots and acne marks, and even skin tone.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it, but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS. I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture, but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney
Get them from Amazon for $14.99.
23. An eyebrow soap designed to help give sparse brows a more volumized look. It comes with an easy-to-use spoolie, and the soap is made of mild ingredients, so you can achieve that ~on fleek~ style quickly, easily, and for less money than the name brands — buh-bye, Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Promising reviews:"I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I've used nearly every product from Anastasia Beverly Hills but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." — Bailey M, Deacon
"This is so, so much better than the clear mascara that I was using. Ditto for the expensive eyebrow gel that I used before that. This stuff is not crunchy, not crusty, and doesn't wear off all day long. What it IS is nothing short of amazing: a little brow pencil and some of the eyebrow soap, and you have perfect brows all day, with no worries." — H. K. Rodman
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in a one- or two-piece set and with a brow gel).
24. A pack of curly wave clip-on extensions if you've dabbled with the idea of growing out your hair or getting extensions, but you a) can't seem to grow it that long without collecting a million dead ends along the way, and b) don't want to commit time and $$ to get them at the salon. Now, you can easily clip them on yourself at home at an affordable price!
Promising review:"Wow! These extensions are beautiful! So easy to put on (beginner here), the color is amazing, the curls are perfect, and very thorough instructions. I didn't realize they were also including a comb, bonus hair band, extra fastener kit, and spray bottle for cleaning. I haven't tried it, but the instructions say you can straighten these as well. I can't believe the price for what you get! Highly recommend." — Jamie H
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 6 lengths and 31 colors). And check out some extensions for types 3 and 4 hair here and here.
25. A lightweight snail essence (no snails are harmed in the making of this product, promise) that'll deliver seriously good hydration and can help brighten your skin and reduce/prevent acne. Plus, it sinks in fast without any sticky residue, so your face feels refreshed and bouncy instead of a glazed donut left out too long.
Promising review:"My skin dries out severely during the winter, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me. Eww!! I resisted for weeks, refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month, I finally gave in, and boy, it was amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer, and it doesn't leave a disgusting, greasy feel like Vaseline. Take it from a once-nonbeliever: You have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." — Kyoko Ozaki
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a pack of two).
26. A nongreasy Dior lip glow oil infused with cherry oil that'll feel oh-so-nice on dry lips (because it's early spring, and I'm willing to bet your lips are still reeling from the effects of a harsh winter). It comes in an array of natural tone colors and will provide a gorg glossy look.
Sephora
Promising review: "I got this because I kept seeing it all over TikTok, and I chose the Universal Clear 000. I absolutely love it. I'm the type of person who can't stand when my lips feel dry, and I'm constantly wearing ChapStick. I also prefer more natural, low-key makeup looks, so the clear option was absolutely perfect! I love the way it applies to my lips and how it feels while wearing it. I've applied it over a Merit lipstick, and it looks amazing. The fiancé hasn't complained about it either. 10/10! If you're on the fence about getting it, this is your sign to just try." — PValeska
Get it from Sephora for $40 (available in 14 colors).
27. An air-dry curl cream designed to help define your oh-so-stunning natural curls and hopefully prevent some frizz in the process! Bouncy, bodacious ringlets, here you come!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Absolutely love this stuff! It's the one hair product I have to have. I rotate shampoos and conditioners but have never found anything to put on damp hair that I like as much as this. It says it's for curls, but works great on straight hair, too." — Bunco Queen of the Universe
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
28. A lightweight CeraVe retinol serum made with encapsulated retinol — that's when traditional retinol is shelled and, therefore, is absorbed at a slower rate over time, which may prevent the irritation or redness of non-encapsulated retinol. Plus, you still get to reap similar benefits like brighter skin and a reduction of post-acne marks!
www.amazon.com
And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. It's recommended to use this at night and follow up with sunscreen in the morning!
Promising review: "This product is magic in a bottle!!! I have been struggling to find a good skincare routine that will remove my acne scars and remove dark spots on my face. I will forever buy this product! I've only been using this for two weeks and noticed a huge difference right away! I am so excited to clean my face in the morning and night now! I also bought the Cerave hydrating cleanser, moisturizer, and eye cream and they have been amazing as well! CeraVe is the best! Don't think twice about this product, just buy it!!!" — mallory brook bravo

29. A spray-application foundation that's super buildable for customizing your own level of coverage. Not to mention, it's v lightweight — and thank goodness for that, because foundation that leaves your skin feeling oily and weighed down is just NOT the vibe anymore! When you want an airbrushed look, you also want an ~airy~ feel.
Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products.
Promising review: "So easy to apply. Especially love the applicator brush. It doesn't leave a streaky effect like some makeup brushes have done to me in the past. I have very oily skin, but even after hours of wearing this foundation, I find I have a dewy look and not an oily, blotchy look, as so many other foundations have done to me in the past. Definitely purchasing this makeup again. Plus, it's less than half the price that I usually spend. Win-win!!!!" — Lauren Theriot
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 12 shades).
30. A hair wax stick formulated with beeswax, vitamin E, avocado oil, and more plant-based ingredients to provide a nongreasy, nonhardening solution to smoothing frizzy hairs and stray strands. This is especially great for fans of the slicked-back ponytail look.
It goes without saying that you 100% do not need to lay your edges if you don't want to!
Promising review:"I've seen this all over TikTok. I was skeptical for a while until this winter season. It's been so chilly and windy, and my hair is feeling dry, so of course, it comes with flyaways. This comes in a push-up wax stick. So you're not overusing the product. I t keeps your hair nice and slick. Does not make the hair look greasy. It feels nice and smooth. And my hair looks smooth all day. I will repurchase when I do run out!" — Seema
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
