20 Target Beauty Products That Work So Well, You'll Start To Seriously Question Their Low Price Tag
Shhh...don't question it...just add to cart.
1. A luxurious leave-on lip mask to say goodbye to chapped lips once and for all. This mask is like a blast of hydration, containing a trio of hyaluronic acid, castor seed oil, and squalene to create plump, pillowy puckers. This will moisturize your lips while you snooze away or whenever you feel that chilly-air-tightness coming on!
Target
Promising review:"I have not been disappointed by a single E.l.f. product. I love the amount of hydration from this product. E.l.f. products are affordable and I appreciate they are still higher quality products. The fragrance-free moisturizing lotion is the best!" — Christmastime
2. A milky vanilla moisturizing bath bomb because moisture starts from how you treat your skin during bath time! This bath bomb doesn't contain harsh ingredients — instead, it moisturizes and soothes redness with ingredients like coconut and oats. The best part? It smells like vanilla to up the cozy bath vibes.
Target
Promising review:"These are really lovely bath bombs (proper bath bombs that fizz) at a reasonable price. I would absolutely buy these again, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy as gifts either." — Sea
3. A bottle of L'Oreal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water if your hair is in need of a moisture treatment, but you have approximately five minutes in the morning for your entire hair routine. This formula contains both moisturizing agents *and* amino acids to rebuild your hair's structure while upping the ante on a lustrous shine!
Target
Promising review:"I love this product for our 7-year-old's tangly knitted hair. It really helps smooth it out and make it easier to brush. We've been using it for a few years now and it's a lifesaver!" — redrocks
Price: $11.59
4. A hydrating facial cleanser because cleaning your skin should NOT mean stripping it of its vital oils! Seriously, your skin *needs* the good bacteria and oils that traditional foaming cleansers tend to strip away. Protect your lipid barrier with a moisturizing cleanser (like this one) that rids the skin of the day's grime while simultaneously hydrating it to its plump glory.
Target
Promising review:"I have tried every face wash, spot treatment, acne medication, birth control, and professional facial service under the sun, and I have had acne since I was 17. I bought this, and my skin cleared up completely in three months, so much that I was able to completely stop all other topicals and oral dermatologist medications. I use the a.m. and p.m. moisturizer, too; this was really a godsend." — Ks97
5. A plumping lip gloss if you're SUPER inspired by the 2000s revival of pillowy soft and glossy lips. Pair this with your favorite lip liner for a plump and reflective pout.
Target
6. A magic root cover spray because there's concealer for your face — why not have a concealer for your hair? If you're in between coloring appointments and want to spruce up your roots for a meeting, dinner, or just for yourself, simply spray this and no one will be the wiser.
youtube.com
Promising review:"This gets the job done between salon visits! My only suggestion is placing a comb on your hair part when you spray so it doesn't get on your scalp." — Karlton
7. A tube of Weleda Skin Food that's your new saving grace whenever dry skin strikes. This cream is a cult-favorite for soaking into the skin and creating a soft-lit, luminous glow that lasts. You can slather on a whopping amount to act as a moisturizing mask or apply a pea-size amount in lieu of your typical moisturizer.
Target
Promising review:"This product is terrific. I must mention its hydration prowess, which was just outstanding. It hydrates the skin better than other brands I've tried. If you're in search of a cream that offers deep nourishment and superior skin hydration, then this is it!" — Amalia
Price: $17.99
8. A brow glue because the days of using glycerin soap to achieve wispy, feathery brows are DONE! This brow glue locks brow hairs into place and comes in a convenient tube with a spoolie, so that you'll never have to dip your tools into soap ever again.
Target
Plus, unlike other brow-freezing products on the market, this one costs about the same price as glycerin soap! Cha-ching. If you don't know the soap brow trick, check out this comparison of $1 soap brows versus a $112 brow gel.
Promising review:"I cannot express how much I love this product! I was looking for something that was easy to apply, did not leave white residue, and actually lasted throughout the day. This does all that! I have tried other brow-freezing products, soap brows, even putting hairspray on a spoolie…but none of them last and end up with white noticeable residue. For the price, it's 100% worth a shot!" — Ely B
9. A hair oil mist if you just can't be bothered with flat-ironing flyaways daily. This is one of the easiest ways to smooth frizz in a flash while adding a gorgeous scent and moisturizing with argan oil!
Target
10. A liquid eyeliner because graphic liner looks and killer wings are still all the rage these days, but they're painfully difficult to perfect. Luckily, even novices can master a cut-worthy wing with this liner's easy-to-use stencil!
Target
Promising reviews:"This eyeliner does its job, but what I really like is the cap. The wing on the cap is so useful for helping me make a wing tip without making a mess on my 50-year-old eyelids. I love it!" — Reviewer
"Once it's on...it stays. I love that once it dries, there is no smearing!" — abrewer19
Price: $8.99
11. A pore-minimizing primer since there is no dewy makeup finish without a smooth base for your foundation! This primer is perfect for those who have prominent pores or oily T-zones that causes makeup to melt off as quickly as it went on.
Maybelline
Promising review:"I love the way it makes my skin feel and look; glad that I bought two by mistake. All you need is less than a dime size to cover your face. Love that you don't need a lot of product and it makes your skin feel smooth. Definitely a go-to in my makeup routine. I would buy this product again." — Jen31787
12. An Odele leave-in detangling tonic because using a hair detangler is the best way to quickly separate curls and get rid of knots without causing too much frizz. Along with conditioning the hair, ingredients like amino acids and plant proteins strengthen the strands while boosting shine. Use this on damp hair and watch how easily your wide-tooth comb will glide through your strands.
Target
Promising review:"I love how this product makes my hair feel after allowing it to dry then flat ironing it or curling it. I use it right after towel-drying my hair. I start at the ends of my hair, then root. I have thick, frizzy, wavy hair. This works wonders." — The taste was just right
Price: $11.99
13. A Maybelline mascara that has cemented itself as one of TikTok's favorite lash-enhancing products, years after first going viral! This mascara makes it easy to achieve full, defined, come-hither lashes with just a few strokes — clumps not included.
Target

Promising review:"I've seen people raving about this mascara a lot on TikTok, so I had to try it. I got it in the shade 'very black.' I've purchased it two times now. I love how lengthening and thickening it is without being clumpy, and it's not hard to remove." — Natalie
14. A Neutrogena Hydro Boost sheet mask because it contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate dry skin and add a natural plump. A mask version of the beloved gel moisturizer, this is great to use during a spa night, but you can also use this during your morning routine to start your day off with a dewy glow!
Target
Promising review:"I bought this mask on a whim, and I loved it so much that I bought a couple more to bring on my international travels. Post-flight, this mask is phenomenal for hydration." — DanniJo
15. A micellar water for the first step in your nighttime skincare routine — removing your makeup. This micellar water is great because it removes ALL makeup, including waterproof mascara! And the best part? Micellar water only removes impurities, meaning it's nonstripping and generally great for those with dry skin.
Target
Promising review: "Very effective in deep cleaning and removing makeup, including mascara." — jr
16. A jar of Aquaphor healing ointment because, hear me out — Aquaphor isn't just for fading scars or stowing in a diaper bag. It's the skincare community's secret to glowing skin! Many people use Aquaphor for "slugging," a skincare practice that uses an ointment after a nighttime routine to seal in all the hydrating serums and moisturizing creams. I've been slugging for the past few years with Aquaphor and GEEZ! I've never woken up with softer skin in my life.
instagram.com
17. A super moisturizing shampoo that contains Kristin Ess' proprietary Zip-Up Technology to seal split ends! Though this color-safe formula is sulfate-free, it still lathers up like a dream *and* contains moisturizing avocado oil! If you want something to give your hair a boost in between salon appointments, this is the perfect no-thoughts-required shampoo.
Target
Promising review:"This is a GREAT shampoo/conditioner combo!!!! I was really nervous to go back to drugstore after falling in love with Dae products, but this works just as well as the expensive stuff for half the price!!! My hair feels so soft and this has a nice smell that lasts!! I will be repurchasing!! Not to mention gorgeous packaging!!" — Kaylee
18. A Tree Hut Tropic Glow whipped body butter because your body's skin also deserves some love. This body butter smells like a warm, vanilla-y tropical dream, and it seeps into the skin to provide lasting hydration.
Target
19. A Tigi Bed Head wax stick so you can rock a slicked-back bun forever. OK, maybe not forever — but this wax keeps even the most stubborn flyaways in place all day, even through a good sweat sesh at the gym!
Target
20. And an E.l.f. contour palette, because it's been making the rounds on TikTok for its ability to sculpt the face, add warmth, and up any makeup look! People love that this pressed powder formula glides onto the skin easily and rarely appears blotchy.

Amazon Echo Show 15: The Family Hub Worth Every Penny
Hi! I'm Sally Elshorafa — Home and Garden Editor here at BuzzFeed. I'm also someone who *loves* being organized, but would much rather adopt a great system than build one from scratch. I just like tools that fit into my life without me having to reinvent the wheel. Enter the Amazon Echo Show 15. It's a 15.6-inch full HD touchscreen display (try saying that three times fast), designed to be either wall-mounted like a piece of framed art or kept on a stand. Think Samsung's The Frame paired with Alexa's brains (oh no, is Alexa sentient?!?). It's slim, clean, and big enough to see from across the room, making it perfect for acting as a central hub in my busy home. And because it's voice-powered, I almost never have to touch it. I can control it entirely with my voice while I'm cooking, wrangling my children, or having a meltdown (often). Mine lives in the corner of our kitchen counter, because the kitchen is the most high-traffic spot in our house. In a multigenerational household like ours, placement is everything. Everyone sees it, everyone uses it, and that visibility is exactly what makes it work. It's not just another piece of tech bought under false pretenses; it's actually woven into the way we live. Cheesy, I know. of the best things about it is how customizable the display is. You can pin and arrange widgets so the things that matter most are always front and center. In our case, that's my family's shared Google Calendar (it works with Microsoft and Apple cals as well). We keep every appointment, meeting, school event, and trip on there, so there's no more, "Wait, you're in a meeting at the same time both kids have separate play dates scheduled?" surprises. The calendar on the Echo Show is in real time; if my husband updates it from his phone, it's instantly reflected on the screen in the kitchen. We also keep a synced shopping list on display, which anyone in our family can update through the Alexa app, or just by shouting out what needs to be added (a more common occurrence). If I notice we're out of eggs while making breakfast, I just say, "Alexa, add a dozen eggs to my shopping list." No pen, no paper, no unlocking my phone. Whoever ends up at the grocery store next sees the updated list immediately. And it's not just groceries. We add household items, kid stuff, and random things we think of mid-conversation. Right now, our list includes washing machine pods, extra pillowcases for the kids, and bulk cold brew. Once items are purchased, you can either check them off on the app or via the Echo Show, whatever works for you. Other widgets we use daily include a month-at-a-glance calendar (critical for planning ahead), a weather panel that updates in real time, curated news headlines based on our preferences, and a rotating photo carousel from a shared family album. The photo widget keeps it personal. You might be checking the calendar, but you're also catching glimpses of family vacations, silly toddler moments, and our favorite everyday snapshots. The smart home control panel is where the Echo Show 15 really earns its keep as a hub. Beyond organization and control, it's also an entertainment screen. It has built-in Fire TV, so I can stream Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, and more directly on the display. Most of the time, I keep it in "mission control" mode, but sometimes I'll put on the local news while I'm making dinner, or watch an F1 race highlight while I stir a sauce that requires constant attention. Sorta random, but one thing I really like is that I can "drop in" via video to say hi to whoever is in the kitchen, which is great when one of us is out of town and wants to say hello to the kids. Using FaceTime works fine, but it's dependent on someone holding their phone up to others while everyone talks, which sucks if they're in the middle of doing something. Plus, phone screens are small. When I video chat on the Echo, it's a big, clear display, no hands required. The sound and volume are also better. This week alone, the Echo Show 15 has run three labeled timers while I was cooking an elaborate meal, played "Let It Go" from Frozen on command to end a toddler meltdown, warned me about an incoming afternoon rainstorm despite it being a heatwave so the kids could grab their raincoats on their way out, added oat milk to the shopping list mid-coffee pour, displayed a live baby monitor feed while I prepped lunch, let me know that my favorite baseball team got absolutely destroyed during an away game, and delivered a five-minute news update from NPR while I folded cloth napkins. None of these are flashy tech miracles, but together they make the day run more smoothly. The beauty of the Echo Show is that it doesn't require constant tinkering. You can display it horizontally or vertically — whatever works for you. Reviewers are split 50/50 on how they display it. Half mount it to the wall, the other put it on a stand. Some get really creative with how it's mounted, so it looks like it's part of a gallery wall. Some people mount it to their bathroom mirror. You can also display it vertically — it'll rotate the screen so everything still looks good. It also helps that the device is aesthetically pleasing. The clean design and slim bezel means it blends into the kitchen instead of looking like a big piece of tech taking up counter space. If I wanted to, I could mount it so it looks like framed art, but the stands works better for us since it's easier to move if we ever want to shift things around. The screen itself is bright and large enough to read from a distance, which is something smaller devices can't really match. Living in a multigenerational household means there's a constant flow of information, needs, and schedules to keep track of. The Echo Show has become the quiet extra set of hands that remembers what's running low, keeps track of where everyone needs to be, entertains when needed, and makes sure the important stuff doesn't slip through the cracks. I originally bought it on a whim, wondering if it would be one of those "will this make me the person I want to be?" purchases. Instead, it turned out to be something far from practical, a device that actually makes our daily life easier, keeps the whole family on the same page, and looks good doing it. It's not just another smart display. It's the nerve center of our home. And for a busy family like mine, that makes it worth every penny we spent on it. Get the Amazon Echo Show 15 from Amazon for $299.99.

"I Am In My Late 40s, And I Have Endured This My Entire Life": 11 "Truths" Women Believe Men Need To Hear About Women
If you identify as a man, there may be a few things you didn't learn in school, for a myriad of reasons, when it comes to women. So when we asked the BuzzFeed Community, "Women, what are some things the guys aren't ready to hear about women?" so many women shared their opinions below: 1."Men telling women (or girls) to smile… stop it." —Anonymous, New Hampshire 2."When I am at work, I am getting PAID to be nice to you. I am not interested in you because I smile at you and help you with something. Why do you not understand this?" —ThatOneElizabeth 3."I am in my late 40s, and I have endured this my entire life. It is so frustrating and ridiculous! Women outnumber men in college enrollment and graduation rates, but we are still not fit to be 'knowledgeable' about anything beyond caregiving, teaching, and support roles in business. Fuck that!" —Elsa G 4."If we make more money than you, we don't think you're a loser or any 'less of a man.' But if you are super insecure because we are successful, it's a huge turnoff and red flag." —Anonymous, 38, Italy 5."Porn is not a sexual guidebook. And we can tell when you watch way too much of it." —Miss Andri 6."When some of us were in middle school and in high school, we were taught how to politely reject you so we don't get killed by you. And, even after using those tips, we still got verbally abused. Which happens a lot more often than you think. Believe it or not, it really sucks that we have to see you as a possible danger instead of a protector." —missmissymaria143 7."I shave my face, sideburns, stomach, hands, forearms, feet and toes." —melgirl444 8."Cat👏calling👏is👏awful👏. Also, any overt display of hypermasculinity is so fucking annoying, but men keep doing it without realizing it causes the opposite desired effect (at least in my opinion)." —big-potato 9."We may love reading books and watching movies about bad boy alfa types who don't ask permission (i.e., kissing, touching, or sexual acts) and don't take no for an answer (i.e. stalking and kidnapping), but that is fantasy, and most of us want to keep it fantasy. It's different reading about it from the safety of our homes when we have a way out vs living it and being terrified with no way out. Also, if you have to force or coerce anyone into dating or being physical with you, the problem is you, not them. You are not God's gift to women." —Anonymous 10."Men CANNOT experience the same things as women. Yes, maybe an ex had a miscarriage and you were upset, but YOU did not experience the mental and physical pain of being a woman having the miscarriage. In my experience, I often hear 'I've been through that too' when, in fact, there is no humanly way possible for a man to understand some of the things that our bodies do that affect us mentally and physically at the same time." —Anonymous 11."Guys, she isn't picking where to eat or what to do because she's being 'difficult.' She's exhausted from having to make decisions ALL. DAMN. DAY. Because on top of everything you've had to do during the day, she also has to decide if her tone in the email is going to get her called a bitch, if where she parks is safe, does she smile at the stranger or is that going to get her harassed, is it a coincidence she's ran into the same guy in the grocery store multiple times or is he following her. It is constant and draining, and all she wants is not to have to make one more choice. Give her options or just make the actual plans. Take one little bit of emotional labor off her shoulders, PLEASE!" —Anonymous, 34, Colorado Women, are there some things guys aren't ready to hear about women?
