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).
2. A wake up eye gel formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to help...well...wake up your eyes — and by that, we mean keep the skin around them hydrated while helping to cut down the appearance of puffiness and swelling. Evidence of the fact you keep going to sleep too late because you can't stop watching Real Housewives, begone!
Good Molecules, www.amazon.com
Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.
Promising review:"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey, or like there's a ton of product on." — K.Grant
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
3. 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 $11.12.
4. A long-lasting liquid eyeliner that just so happens to be waterproof — a must for anyone whose tear ducts are already feeling the effects of those lovely springtime allergens in the air. It's also great for those who live in an eternal state of sweat during the warmer months but still want their makeup to stay intact. Yes, it is possible!
Promising review:"Guys, I have hella hooded eyes, and any time I tried those expensive Sephora or Ulta eyeliners, they would smudge or fade INSTANTLY. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! The color pops, it's easy to use, and it NEVER SMUDGES, NEVER FLAKES, DOES NOT MOVE IN WATER!!! I fell asleep with it on, and it looked like I had just applied it when I woke up. ... Best eyeliner out there, take it from a girl who has tried ALL of those expensive eyeliners (Stila, Urban Decay, YOU NAME IT). I will never switch to anything else." — Jacky
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in 15 shades).
5. A cleansing oil designed to clean makeup residue, potentially clear up blackheads and sebum, and help minimize the appearance of pores and acne. It's hypoallergenic and the gentle formula plays well with sensitive and acne-prone skin, and many reviewers actually use it as a step in their double cleansing routine. Double cleansing = using an oil-based cleanser (like this one) and then a water-based cleanser afterward!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
If you're looking for a water-based cleanser to go with this one, reviewers love this pore-deep cleansing foam from the same brand for their double-cleansing routine!
Promising review:"I don't usually leave reviews, but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER!!!!! It worked flawlessly after the first try, and I could actually see the results immediately!! My gosh, it's lightweight and smells relaxing. Massage it to your skin for 5–10 minutes, and you can see the magic. I will definitely add this to my skincare routine. JUST GET IT!!!!!" — Vince
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
6. A skin-renewing night cream containing three essential ceramides in a fragrance-free, non-irritating formula designed to bring your skin a delicious dose of hydration and softness, all while you SLEEP! Out: expensive (for literally no reason) night creams. In: THIS STUFF!!!
It has new packaging, just FYI, if it looks different when you order it.
Promising reviews: "CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream is my skincare savior! I use it every night and wake up to a dewy, plump complexion that's like magic. It's my secret weapon for fighting fine lines and wrinkles and keeping my skin hydrated and barrier-strong. As someone with sensitive skin, this dreamy overnight moisturizer is an absolute game changer!" — Brooke
"I've been using the same cream for over seven years. Every other cream would break me out, not moisturize my skin enough, or just make me too oily. I got this because I've been breaking out and I've been trying to find something to calm my skin down. The first night I used this, my skin improved!! Redness/bumps reduced, my skin was soft. I have very sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin, and this did not irritate my face at all. I wake up, and my skin is soooo soft. My skin texture has drastically changed in just a week. My makeup applies so smoothly, and my pores even look better. My new go-to!" — Melody
Get it from Amazon for $15.68.
7. 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

Get it from Amazon for $7.60.
8. A no-fuss self-tanning mousse that delivers a deep, bronzed glow minus the streaks or orange tones. This fast-developing formula gives you that just-back-from-vacation look without the sun damage. Because a great tan should be that easy!
Promising review: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Review Writer
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in 10 shades).
9. 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.
10. Or an E.l.f. tubing mascara that wraps each lash and gives it a length only false lashes could compete with. PLUS, it's resistant to clumping, flaking, and smudging...and if THAT wasn't enough, it comes off so easily that you'll no longer dread the process that is wiping off your mascara at the end of the day.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord considers herself a fan:
"I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact, I readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades).
11. 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.
www.amazon.com
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).
12. 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.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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.
13. 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 in packs of two).
14. 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, 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 bout this product sooner. Thanks, TikTok." — Angelia Taggarrt
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
15. A lip repair balm from O'Keeffe's (yep, the same brand that makes the beloved Working Hands cream) — this awesome stuff contains deep conditioning oils to relieve dry, cracked lips overnight. Waking up with a smooth kisser? You're one "add to cart" away.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a pack of two).
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. A fan-favorite E.l.f. Cosmetics primer that glides on like butter and helps reduce the appearance of pores. In turn, this makes for SEAMLESS makeup application. When I say your foundation will GLIDE right onto your skin and look airbrushed, I mean it!!!
I'm speaking from personal experience here, BTW. I purchased this on a whim, and it's been one of my holy grail beauty products since 2023. There are some days I just quickly put on foundation without putting on this primer first, and I NOTICE the difference because my face doesn't look nearly as smooth.
Promising review:"This is magic cream. My face looks so fresh all day. It blurs the lines and age spots just enough so I don't look like my foundation is caked on. I usually have to powder or blot my face during the day, and I haven't had to ever since I started using this a month ago. My face stays flawless all day. If only they could make eye makeup that holds up that well." — Should I buy this
Get it from Amazon for $10.
19. A nail renewal treatment to give damaged nails a much-needed refresh. While it's not a substitute for prescription treatments, it works to improve the look of nails that have seen better days. Think of it as a little TLC for your toes!
www.amazon.com
To use, you just apply a thin layer twice a day (morning and night) to the affected area and under the edge of the nail for a week — after that, switch to applying once per day at night.
Promising review: "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." — WIAPilot
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
20. A L'Oreal glow-enhancing lotion that'll give the expensive bronzing drops you've been eyeing a run for their money. This glycerin-infused illuminator can be mixed with your favorite moisturizer or foundation and worn as a makeup base OR as a highlight or bronzer. Glowy skin, here you come.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers say it's similar to the Drunk Elephant bronzing drops!
Promising reviews: "Magic! I am blown away by how good this product is. I really didn't expect much from it, to be honest. It covers like a BB cream and has a pretty dewy finish. I originally got it to put under makeup as a moisturizer/glowy finish, but I just wear it alone mostly because it looks so nice. For reference, I wore Dr Jarts BB cream before, so not a heavy foundation. I find it similar to that coverage but a fraction of the cost." — Simone
"I've been using this product for seven months, and I 've been complimented almost weekly about how I get my skin to look so dewy and glowy. I use this all over with a good coverage foundation, and I've never felt/looked so sunkissed. Such an amazing product for a killer price!" — Natalie
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in five shades).
21. A colorful eyeshadow palette featuring 40 matte, shimmer, and metallic shades that'll make doing your eye makeup feel like painting. If you remember the James Charles x Morphe palette but never bought it because of its $40 price tag, then this veryyy similar under $10 alternative is perfect.
Promising reviews: "Clearly time I got a new eyeshadow palette. Sargent Freddie Mercury (my not-even 4-pound bunny) made it his mission to destroy my James Charles overpriced palette. This palette is the same quality, maybe even nicer. This eyeshadow was put on at around 3 p.m., and it's almost 1 a.m. The 'highlight' stayed on my nose, even with my mask on through a whole day of work. That blew my mind." — Daniel T Adams
"Best palette I've owned, and you can't beat this price! The colors are beautiful and vibrant. They are also extremely pigmented, especially the shimmery colors, and they all seem to blend well. I'm happy to have every color I could ever want in an eyeshadow in the palm of my hands, and I've been experimenting with colors I've never worn before!!" — Mary Diamond
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
22. A nail strengthening cream that's been a cult favorite for ages and is packed with ingredients like calcium and jojoba oil to help nourish brittle nails. Whether you're giving your nails a break from gels, growing them out after a bad break, or just want them to look healthier, this little jar has your back. Natural tips, here you come — no salon appointment required.
Promising review:"I've been using this product for almost a month. Before, my nails were bendy, paper thin, and had little ridges. After applying this product almost every day, three times a day, I can grow my nails without fear. They are smooth, pretty, and have excellent white tips. They still have a slight flexibility to them but are leagues better than where they were, and I'm hoping with continued use, my nails will be hard as hoof, ha. After trying so many products, I believe this one is a holy grail." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.88.
23. An E.l.f. Cosmetics melting lip balm in the shade "Ecstatic," which reviewers say gives the same effortless, your-lips-but-better look as Clinique's "Black Honey" — but for a fraction of the price. This balm-lipstick hybrid glides right on, so you can add a sheer wash of color while keeping your lips hydrated. It's the kind of low-maintenance, throw-it-in-every-bag essential that makes getting ready way easier.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5
Get it from Amazon for $7 (also available in five other shades).
24. 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.
www.amazon.com
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.
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
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).
25. 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
Check out BuzzFeed editor Daniel Boan 's Cerave Resurfacing Retinol Serum review for more deets!
Get it from Amazon for $18.68.
26. A 2-in-1 eyeliner that also happens to be false eyelash glue because your time is precious, so saving yourself the step of having to apply eyelash glue OVER your eyeliner without smudging it in the process will really pay off in the long run.
If you're looking for falsies people *love* (you've probably seen them on TikTok), try the Ardell wispies — you can get them from Amazon for $10.19. Some people cut them apart for that ~individual~ look.
Some reviewers mention removing the liner is a little difficult to remove but many reviewers agree using micellar water or a cleansing balm works!
Promising review: "What sorcery is this?! After years of trying to put on falsies, I gave up and opted for waterproof mascaras and eyelash growth serums. Of course, the mascaras and serums only did so much. Then the stars aligned, and I came across this eyeliner glue magic from the heavens! IT WORKS, FRIENDS! I apply two coats, and BAM! These babies stay on all day. I've worn lashes from Eyelure, KISS, and House of Lashes — all of them stayed put for over 12 hours, and they looked flawless. I even drove down the highway with the windows open, and they didn't budge! I use a makeup remover balm from Good Molecules to remove my eye makeup, and it gently removes the lash glue, leaving the lashes ready for another day. I'm about to stock up on these before prices go up!! Both the black and clear work great." — KareBear
Get the liner from Amazon for $7.49.
27. 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.
Promising review:"This wax stick effortlessly tames even the most stubborn flyaways and unruly strands. Its unique formula provides a firm hold without the stiffness or flaking associated with traditional hairsprays. It keeps my hair looking sleek and polished all day long. The compact, easy-to-use stick design makes application a breeze. Simply swipe it over flyaways or areas that need a touch-up. The wax glides on smoothly and blends seamlessly, leaving no visible residue." — cwin
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
28. 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?!
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).
29. A spray-on foot mask if your dry/cracked feet could use a refresh after spending all winter in fuzzy socks, galore. All you have to do is spray this on, rub off dead skin (or use an exfoliating mitt), and rinse with soap and warm water. Thanks to moisturizing ingredients like aloe and coconut, your feet will be ready to rock your springtime sandals in a cinch.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. In fact, I've even started using it on my cuticles. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT
Get it from Amazon for $5.48+ (also available in a two-pack).
30. An E.l.f. liquid blush — whether you've been on the liquid blush train for some time now or you're looking to get aboard, this inexpensive (less than $10!!!) option is the perfect pick. It boasts gorgeous pigmentation and blends so smoothly. And! Reviewers say it's very similar to Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch liquid blush (which is more than double the price).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Imagine sweeping on a blush that feels like a little whisper of color, just enough to give your cheeks that perfect, healthy glow. That's what you get with the E.l.f. blush. The formula is silky smooth, blends like a dream, and sits on your skin so naturally it's like a second skin. Whether you're going for a natural daytime look or amping it up for a night out, this blush has got your back. It's like a little magic in a compact, and it won't break the bank either. Plus, it's kind to our furry friends! Honestly, it's a total game-changer in your makeup routine! 🌟" — Jessica

Americans roasted by Europeans over ‘primitive' eating habit: ‘Worse than nails down a chalkboard'
It's a fork-and-knife fight. A viral TikTok video showing an American woman attempting the 'European way' of eating has sparked an international food fight — and critics say her table manners are downright barbaric. TikTok user Amy Gordy @amygordy1 posted a now-viral video of herself trying out the so-called 'continental' dining style — the one where you don't play musical chairs with your utensils. Gordy, channeling her inner Emily Post, did her best to keep the fork in her left hand and the knife in her right — unlike the typical American technique of cutting food, dropping the knife, then switching fork hands like it's a culinary square dance. But her continental makeover quickly went off the rails. Viewers couldn't believe their eyes — or her grip. 'This has spun me out, I've never thought about how I use cutlery,' wrote one confused diner. Another viewer declared, after the clip was reposted on X (formerly Twitter): 'Americans are so primitive for world leaders!!! Hold your knife in your right hand! It's your dinner sword. Watching Americans eat is worse than nails down a blackboard.' The video — which racked up more than 2 million views and thousands of comments — didn't just spark etiquette outrage online. It also triggered a domestic dispute because Gordy's husband is heard saying in the background that his wife holding both utensils while he's talking to her is 'rude.' That had TikTok users clutching their pearls — and their cutlery. 'Him saying you're doing it wrong and that it's rude to hold your cutlery when speaking,' one user wrote in disbelief. Another piled on: 'Am I missing something??!? Eating properly is rude in America??' '… Dude sounds like a piece of work. People talk with utensils in their hands all the time, it's never been rude,' tweeted @thisisvertrying, who also reposted Gordy's original video. The clip clocked over 2 million views and thousands of comments — igniting a full-blown Euro vs. American cutlery clash online. sonyachny – Meanwhile, some critics nitpicked Gordy's fork-and-knife form, pointing out that she'd flipped her hands from the standard European setup. 'It's not the 'European Way,' it THE CORRECT WAY,' one commenter fumed. Others were more forgiving, insisting there's no 'correct' way to eat — as long as you're not launching mashed potatoes across the room. Still, for some Europeans, watching Americans carve up dinner like it's an Olympic event remains a horror show. 'I'm confused, so how do Americans use cutlery?' asked one commenter, apparently still recovering from the cultural whiplash. Knife to meet you, indeed. And while Gordy's utensil swap stirred the pot online, Brits like etiquette expert William Hanson would likely argue it's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dining faux pas. Hanson — dubbed Britain's leading etiquette coach — recently stunned viewers by insisting there's only one proper way to eat a banana: with a knife and fork. 'No, we don't pick it up and peel it like a primate,' he said in a now-viral Instagram tutorial. 'Instead, we use a knife and fork. First, going from one end, cut it off, then cut off the other end, turning your knife on its side. Then score down the skin, peel back and eat like so.' His fruit-fueled formality didn't end there. As previously reported by The Post, in a follow-up, Hanson demonstrated the 'correct' way to eat grapes — using scissors to snip a smaller bunch onto a plate, naturally. At least that one didn't require cutlery.

Wait, Did Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Actually Get Married?
Do you hear wedding bells? Because after Tom Holland and Zendaya's engagement, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's engagement, and those Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson marriage rumors, it appears Hollywood does. And after all those Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift engagement rumors, Travis just spilled on his ideal wedding timeline — that's right, it appears our favorite IRL rom-com couple could be thinking about tying the knot! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a blast at Cole Kmet and Emily Jarosz's wedding on June 6, and Cole's event planner Ellie Nottoli showed off some special Easter eggs she incorporated into TayVis' attendance. The couple was assigned to Table 13 at the wedding reception (Taylor's famously lucky number!), but there was one other detail that immediately caught fans' attention: the letter was addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce." 'We all know Taylor and Travis were at a different wedding in Tennessee,' Ellie said on Instagram (via ). 'But each guest had an envelope that was adhered to a beautiful backdrop, and Emily wrote love notes to all of her guests.' "As a 2023 bride - we made this joke with a handful of our very close friends who'd been dating for awhile lol (they all took it in good fun)," one Swiftie , while another , "It has a lovely ring to it." A third Swiftie , "Ummmmm Taylor kelce does fit it should be TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS SWIFT." And one TikTok user that "in a married relationship it'd been written as Travis & Taylor Kelce big difference." The couple hasn't announced an engagement, but they're definitely happy and that's all I need to know! On a new episode of the podcast he hosts with brother Jason, Travis Kelce revealed he would like to avoid an autumn wedding day. And the reason is literally so on brand it makes me laugh. After a listener revealed over the phone that his girlfriend wants to schedule their wedding during football season, Travis admits that "I actually don't know people who've gotten married in the fall." "My friends always do it in the summer," he says. "I've seen weddings everywhere but the fall. So, I'm not sure if the fall is a good wedding season." The weather of an autumn wedding (not to mention the incredible aesthetic of the wedding photos!!) have always made it seem so dreamy. Plus, I've attended more than one summer wedding (some on the beach!) and it can get toasty under the summer sun. Spring then, Travis? Travis' comments come after he responded to rumors that he'd pop the question to girlfriend Taylor Swift. During the June 1 Big Slick Celebrity Weekend's onstage comedy sketch, Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis asked Travis about a potential engagement. "Hey Travis, real talk, OK, just the guys here," . "When are you going to make an honest woman out of her?" "Guys," Travis says, "you're really pushing it." It's a pretty kind way to say back off!! I'm excited for whenever Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tell us they're engaged — should they choose to share at all. Check out the latest news on ! This post has been updated.
