If You're Looking For Cheaper Versions Of Your Favorite Brand Name Products, These 47 Are Cult-Faves
1. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the some magic as " Black Honey," the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to keep in all your favorite bags.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency!
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 seven other shades).
2. And Moodmatcher color-changing lipstick, an affordable WinkyLux alternative that not only adapts to the pH of your skin to create a personalized, perfect shade for your skin tone, but lasts for HOURS. Reviewers marvel at its all-day staying power even after meals and breaking a sweat. Look at that lil' green lipstick go!!
Amazon
Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick.
Promising review:"This color is beautiful, and shows up differently on everyone. This thing that I like most about this product, is that it stays on all day even through eating multiple meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" — Rasheda
Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (available in 10 shades).
3. A TikTok-famous "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy
Get it from Amazon for $5.44 (available in two styles).
4. A pair of waterproof wireless earbuds with AirPods Pro energy — except these feature a charging case that, bless its technologically savvy heart, has an LED display letting you know exactly how much charge is left. Reviewers also love how delightfully comfortable and sweatproof these are, making them a solid, affordable option for talking on the phone and exercising.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" — Erin
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in nine colors).
5. And a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price.
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point.
Promising review: "These headphones surprised me. I thought they were not going to be as great because of how cheap they are, but the bass is amazing! The noise cancellation is so good that I can't hear anything. The volume is loud and sound quality is a win, and just how I like it. Very snug and comfy, recommend! Thanks TikTok, lol :)." — Chevelle Revero
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors).
6. A ridiculously high quality oversized cropped puffer jacket reviewers are not only obsessed with, but compare to the Aritzia version for a fraction of the price. This insulated, cozy, trendy puffer is perfect for anyone whose motto is "Go go go!!! ... As cutely as possible, of course."
www.amazon.com, Amazon
It even features an adjustable drawstring at the bottom for a personalized fit!
Promising review: "I had no idea I would love this as much as I do. First of all, the cut is superb. Cropped yet oversized. It's super warm and cozy. I literally grab this five out of six times. Today I ordered it in red! You need this. You want this. You shall have it!" — Cassidy Barbeau
Get it from Amazon for $72.99 (available in women's sizes XS–L and 16 colors).
7. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~!
I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry.
Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
8. A stylish fitness smartwatch that's a chic, affordable, user-friendly version of all the tricked-out expensive ones that aren't half as cute anyway. This water-resistant watch not only takes calls and texts and monitors your sleep, but has 70 different activity modes for fitness tracking, including the ability to track your heart rate, steps, and calories for each workout.
Promising review: "This watch is elegant and simple all at once. Can be worn with any genre of clothing. Easy to use and has all the sort after features. Love the sleep monitoring app. Great value at price point. Functions like expensive brands." — Barbara Hubbard
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (be sure to clip the $20 coupon on the product page!; available in five colors).
9. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will be your holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes when new schedules are throwing you for a loop. This lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference — one that a lot of reviewers compare to the $33 Becca version.
www.amazon.com
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two 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." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades).
10. A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these.
I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that for some reason I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear a legging, and I'm happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too.
Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson
Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles).
11. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles).
12. An oversize, lightweight knit button-up cardigan with a vibe reviewers compare to the beloved Jenni Kayne "Cocoon" cardigan. This is just *begging* to be layered with all your coziest looks, and it this price point, it might be an investment to grab a few colors to have on hand 👀 .
Promising review: "The sweater is extremely comfortable and high quality, and the color selections were awesome. I chose the cognac color which is kind of a taupe-ish brownish color. Bought it to match some khaki boots, and the match was terrific. The pockets are nice. The sweater is roomy. The sleeves are a good length. The thickness is perfect for warmth without being overly bulky. I really like this sweater and will order more colors." — Alana Mohacsi
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 28 styles).
13. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact 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).
14. A classic herringbone necklace so close in style to the Tiffany HardWear version that you might blink and mistake it for the real thing (imagine being able to drop $13,000 human dollars on a necklace though, MY STARS).
Amazon
Promising review: "I've been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace, but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn't believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!" — FAXA10
Get it from Amazon for $16.79+ (available in six styles).
15. Etude's delightfully multipurpose Dear Darling Water Tint, which a lot of reviewers compare to Benefit's Lip Tint. This smudgeproof formula is designed primarily to be a natural-looking, weightless lip stain, but reviewers use it as a blush as well!
Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point what's there not to like?" — Rachael
Get it from Amazon for $6.20+ (available in three shades and combo packs).
16. A pair of classic round polarized sunglasses so you can have the elevated look of Ray-Bans without the constant fear of losing $300 sunglasses somewhere because you got distracted squinting at a meme on Instagram.
Promising review:"Sojos have been my number one choice of sunnies for years now. Even if Ray-Bans were this price, I'd still choose Sojos. They are high end quality without the price tag, lightweight yet durable, truly polarized, fashionable, comfortable, the list goes on! They are the best of the best, don't hesitate, just buy them!" — maggie
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 10 styles).
17. L'Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion designed to enhance your skin's natural ✨ glow✨ just like the pricy Drunk Elephant drops — perfect for anyone who wants a lightweight alternative to foundation or just a lil' extra low-effort, ethereal shimmer in their lives.
Promising review:"Love love love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile. Can be worn alone to put some glowy life to skin. Add to foundation or layer it. Beautiful. Use it as a base where you put highlighter on top. Mix some with moisturizer. This, in my opinion, is better than so many high-luxury brands that make similar products. And I am pretty sure it can be used by all skin types. It's not an oily feeling at all, and it doesn't dry out the skin either. Just a total package. Can't beat the price either." — Figgy08
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in six shades).
18. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's Santal 33, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. If you're in the market for a signature scent for your space this winter, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend.
www.amazon.com
Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes.
Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" — Cristina Bertolotto
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).
19. SkinSmart Facial Cleanser Spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray, designed to target bacteria that causes acne and blemishes *without* drying your skin. This is the perfect "spray and go" fix for anyone — teens, travelers, athletes, and professionals who wear a face mask or gear swear by this for keeping their skin clear.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the SkinSmart Facial Spray in action.
Promising review:"This products is the best thing ever invented. I spray it every time I sweat, go outside, or am in an environment that is not the cleanest. It's literally hand sanitizer but for the face. So worth it! This is way better than the expensive versions like Tower 28." — Isabella Hinojosa
Get it from Amazon for $17.46.
20. An adorable, roomy duffel bag that's practically *screaming* "take me on a weekend trip," — people compare this durable, water-resistant option to Herschel's duffel and love that it comes with long handles for easy maneuvering and a side panel to hook it to a roll-on suitcase. Bonus: it's small enough to use as a "personal item" on flights!!
Promising review: "This bag is amazing!! It's the perfect size for all my gym stuff. Clothes, shoes, water bottle, pre-workout, headphones, toiletries, etc., and it can be made smaller or bigger height-wise with these little buttons they have on the side that you can snap down. Very cute. It also has some inside mesh pockets to help separate things better. If you thinking about it, just buy it! You won't regret it." — Sarah Brackenrich
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and dozens of colors).
21. A Skims-inspired seamless, compressive ribbed bodycon jumpsuit reviewers love as the ultimate year-round layering piece, pairing it with button-ups, crop tops, and oversize sweaters.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "RUN. Don't walk. I never write reviews but legit as soon as I put this on, I knew I had to share with the world. So surprisingly thick (no fear of see through) and stretchy. The ribbed texture is fun and gives that extra snatch effect." — bmg
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes S–L and and nine colors).
22. A six-piece (!!) set of high-performance matte lipsticks at a *fraction* of the price of its competitors that stays the heck put without drying or cracking your lips by the end of the day. (Seriously, reviewers are DRAGGING major brands in their comments, these are so cheap and effective.)
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick, and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason, this lipstick is better than even $20 name-brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging, and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" — Claire
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $8.99 (available in six sets).
23. A pair of oversize fleece cargo joggers complete with POCKETS (just like the Nike version 👀), and made with a cotton blend so satisfyingly soft that it'll be a miracle if you ever pull yourself out of Lounge Hound Mode again.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "High-quality baggy sweatpants. I love them so much I also bought four different colors. I wanted the slightly baggy, hang off my mid-waist look. They are very warm and soft inside. They have not changed size since washing and drying." — MacBethany
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and seven colors).
24. A sophisticated, minimalist-style sunrise alarm clock to gently ease you into waking every morning by gradually lightening the room so you're not JOLTED awake in a dark room if you've got the curtains drawn or wake up at odd hours. This model compares to the Hatch Sleep version for $170, both in aesthetics and because it also offers fully customizable wake-up experience, complete with timing, brightness modes, and soothing sounds.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I wanted this clock for the sunrise lighting affect and didn't want to pay for the really expensive clocks. I think it's aesthetically pleasing and has tons of options. It really does help you wake up softer with the sunrise light. It's easy to use and a good value for your money!" — Brianna Hughes
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two styles).
25. E.l.f. Soft Glam Foundation for full coverage with that "barely there" look — it glides on so smooth and has such a satin-y finish that it'll just look like your skin with some subtle dewy glow ✨. Reviewers compare this easy-to-apply formula to a lot of much more expensive, higher-end brands!
Promising review: "This is now my favorite foundation hands down. It has such a dewy natural finish. Medium to full coverage yet still lightweight. It could go up against higher end brands for less than $10. I'm a huge fan of all of E.l.f.'s products. Great quality and very affordable." — kimberly
Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in 36 shades).
26. A sophisticated laptop tote bag so you can easily (and chicly!) carry not just your tech, but the whole arsenal of I'm A Very Busy Business Person things you need to get through the day. Reviewers compare this to the $$ Beis version, and especially love the unexpected depth and pockets included.
Promising review: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and I find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you see carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome. The bag does sag a bit after use. But has held up to wear and tear. I would recommend." — Su
Get it from Amazon for $25.39 (available in nine styles).
27. A high-quality, *just* compressive enough layering T-shirt reviewers love so much that a ton of them tried it and immediately ordered more colors to stock up. This shirt is double-lined but still feels lightweight on the skin, giving a sophisticated, expensive look with a casual feel. Reviewers compare it to Skims at a fraction of the price!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one, LOL, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3X and in 33 colors).
28. A Petcube, which is basically a Furbo without all the extra bells and whistles — this super-reliable pet-monitoring camera has a wide angle and night vision so you can check on your pet 24/7 and even talk to them, giving you a whole new peace of mind whenever you leave the house.

Promising review: "Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who kept digging holes in my yard. I didn't expect a lot for $39, but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven't used any of the other features yet, but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected." — Rick Grisham
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in multipacks and with a subscription).
29. E.l.f.'s new sheer tint, hyaluronic acid-infused moisturizing "Squeeze Me" lip balm that comes in flavors like Vanilla Frosting, Honeydew, and Peach. It is 2025, and we deserve an affordable way to perpetually taste like birthday cake!!
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:"BUY IT, you won't regret it! After purchasing some of the more expensive Laneige ones, I decided to try this lip balm. I feel like these work so much better, and for so much less money! I'm obsessed with the scents and the formula is non-sticky, in my opinion, just a good slick balm. Peach smells like the peach ring candies, and honeydew actually reminds me of the old B&BW scent Cucumber Melon." — Kelly
Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors).
30. A two-slice touch screen toaster with all the fanciness of the $350 TikTok-famous version and none of the "YIKESSSSS" of the price tag. This lets you select seven different toastiness levels for your bread, and specify if you're putting other carbs in there, like bagels, English muffins, waffles, and even gluten-free bread.

Promising review: "I love this oversize puffer vest! It is exactly how described. It is oversized for winter comfort. It is puffy with just the right puff. It has become a daily go-to. I enjoy it very much! I will be looking for another color to repurchase again. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for exactly what they have described." — Alyssa Anderson
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 10 styles).
32. Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots, a hydrocolloid sticker comparable to the $$ "Mighty Patches" that you can apply straight onto open zits to help drain them and reduce redness overnight. Personally *love* to see a problem magically disappear while I'm snoozing.

Promising review: "This brand is so affordable and works just the same as the more expensive brands. I go through them so quickly so this is a plus! I'm generally a picker at my zits, but if I can get to one of these dots in time I save my face a lot of irritation and pain. I wear them at night and sometimes during the day, only takes about two to get rid of those pesky whiteheads, sometimes more for a big zit. They really suck everything out." — Savannah Wilson
Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $4.88.
33. A compressive cropped zip-up workout jacket so chic that you'll want to stock up on them not just for workouts, but errand running and days when your schedule is just "go go go." This is a great way to add some Lululemon-esque pieces to your rotation without breaking the bank!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Lululemon WHOOOO? Great quality, washed well with my regular laundry. Retained it color and shape.

Promising review:"I've loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1-2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis. I wanted something just as good at a lower price and I FOUND IT! This cleanser absolutely melts away makeup and deep cleans the skin without any drying or eye irritation! It smells great and a little goes a loooonng way — I'm in love!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

Get it from Amazon for $4.39+ (available in four shades and in two-packs).
36. L'Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer so intensely hydrating, plumping, and smoothing that reviewers compare it to the $92 Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream 👀.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this product. The texture is just like the CT Magic Cream. It is super rich but doesn't make the skin feel greasy. I have extremely sensitive/acne prone skin and this doesn't break me out at all. I have been using it for about two years now and I will never stop using it. Super inexpensive and works wonders!" — Monica S.
Get it from Amazon for $10.49 (available in two sizes, and unscented and fragranced).

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"GIRRRRRLLL — YES!!! Obsessed with this!!! The fit is interesting — I got a medium as suggested for an oversize fit, but honestly I think a large would have been better for me. I still love this jacket, though — quality is amazing, and it's such a stand out piece!" — Lauren

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 Kleenex. 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." — Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in dewy and radiant finishes, and a jumbo size).

Power Grip Primer, an inexpensive alternative for Milk's Hydro Grip primer and a *godsend* for makeup lovers of all skin types, particularly those dealing with dry, flaky, or acne-prone skin. Once you apply this and let it set for 30 seconds, not only will it grip your makeup in place, but the hyaluronic acid will help moisturize and plump your skin to improve its texture over time.

This is my favorite primer to use now. Works so well and helps with making your makeup look almost flawless. Highly recommend it." — Megan Lindstrom
"I tried the Milk primer and it worked magic for my super oily skin. I came across this for a fraction of the cost. The Milk primer was $34 this does the same job for way less. I am happy with my purchase." — Shenelle

40. A pair of zippered lace-up combat boots that are giving some real Doc Martens energy, and will add an instant edge or new dimension to an outfit so you'll never accidentally walk out looking ~boring~ ever again.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Bought these to replace some knockoff Doc Martens I had before, because they are versatile with many outfits — especially this past fall and winter. So far these have been comfortable, great during winter at work and at home, and while a little stiff at first they do get some flexibility over time. They are not a soft, pliable fake leather. It's pretty straight. So if that's what you're looking for these are great!" — Valerie Mills
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in women's sizes 5.5–10 and four styles).
41. A gorgeous gooseneck electric tea kettle with all of the aesthetic of the Fellow version, minus the $195 price tag. This features a rapid boiling mechanism, auto-shutoff, and a gooseneck design that allows you to control the flow of water more precisely.

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I now have two of these fleeces and I am obsessed. The fit and crop is perfect and the fleece is high quality and so so warm and soft. I've worn it, hiking, pair it with jeans and dressed it up a bit or even work from home in the winter." — Ali

43. A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer to dry your hair as you style it and give your 'do an incredible amount of volume and shine, without the cost of a pricey blowout. Psst — reviewers compare this to the $599 (!!) Dyson Airwrap.
www.amazon.com
Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!
Promising reviews:"I've had my eye on a Dyson Airwrap, but given the cost, I figured I'd try this while I save up. This thing is fantastic. I have waist length hair that's naturally straight, but gets frizzy when damp. I've had salon blowouts that have left my hair looking great, but I simply can't manage a round brush without it getting tangled in my hair. This device has been a game changer. It works best if you air dry for a while before you use it, then use it to finish your style. My hair miraculously doesn't get snarled in it, and it leaves my hair looking like I've had it professionally styled. I love it, and I'm no longer interested in blowing $500 on a Dyson. Highly recommend!" — Ilsa
Get it from Amazon for $36.94 (available in ten styles styles).

Black Cat's Unexpected Hiding Place Leaves Internet in Stitches
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mischievous cat named Kiki has left internet users in hysterics after her owner revealed her unusual hiding spot in a viral TikTok video. The hilarious clip shared on Monday under the username @ninjalys322 starts with what looks like a regular fast food bag sitting on the floor, however, as the poster opens it, she finds her black cat just chilling inside. "McDonald's bag, and my Happy Meal!" the poster says, as Kiki is filmed licking a napkin with leftover sauce. Whether it's food bags, closets, or cardboard boxes, cats are know for loving all sorts of hiding spaces. But why? Cats Protection says that if there's no medical reason for your cat to hide and they're not feeling stressed, hiding can be a pretty normal behavior for them, inherited from their wild ancestors. Domestic cats spend at least 12 hours a day sleeping, and finding an isolated place to do so can help them feel warm and comfortable. Because they are more vulnerable in their sleep, their natural instincts tell them to sleep in hidden place, where they can feel totally safe and relaxed. Often, cats also hide when they're feeling playful, imitating their wild ancestors' hunting behavior, hiding before pouncing on whatever is moving near them, which in the case of a house cat would probably at a toy, or a foot! The video quickly went viral on TikTok and it has so far received over 767,200 views and 172,900 likes on the platform. A stock image shows a cat hiding inside a grocery bag.

I had a black kitty that I called my baby more then its name or I would always say the world baby after calling its name. Btw [by the way] my kitties name was ninja. So it either was baby or ninja baby nothing else." said: "My little Bombay boy also loves to hide in bags! Most of the time it's to sneak out at jump at my feet! He's a prankster." Another user, Bree, wrote: "I too, have a void that self identifies as fast food. He prefers though to destroy the bags if he deems them too small."

Powerball draw 1517: Lucky Aussie wins ENTIRE $100 million jackpot
One lucky Aussie's life has just changed forever after taking out Powerball's incredible $100 million jackpot. Australia's newest multi-millionaire was the only winner in tonight's draw, which was Powerball's biggest jackpot of the year. The jackpot doubled after last week's $50m draw failed to be won. While not many details are known about the winner yet, they now officially share the title of Australia's third-highest lottery winner. What is known is that the ticket was purchased in either NSW or the ACT. With this week's massive offering, officials from The Lott anticipated up to half of all adults in the country would be purchasing a ticket. Tonight's winning numbers are: 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21, with the all-important Powerball number 6. The last big win was back in early May, when a man from Cessnock in NSW became an instant multi-millionaire with an incredible $30m win. He burst into uncontrollable laughter when he heard the good news, and said he saw the win as a sign of good things to come after having a "rough trot" lately. 'I just had this ticket on the fridge. I was looking at it this afternoon and thought, 'wouldn't it be lovely to win'," he told The Lott. 'The ticket was there with all the bills. There will be no more worrying about bills now. I don't care if I get a bill now!" Only six Aussies know what it's like to win $100m. One of those lucky winners was a Queensland woman who took home half of the record-breaking $200m Powerball jackpot last February. Reflecting on her win more than a year on, the new millionaire revealed she's since embraced a sea change, relocating from the suburb of Hawthorne in Brisbane to a serene coastal home. "I often speak with my partner about the version of us from last year to now, and if only we knew what was to come," she said. "On a day-to-day basis, not a huge amount has changed. I still get up for the 6am gym session, and the dog still needs to be walked and fed. The longer-term vision we have for our life is slowly coming together." Do you have a story tip?

Hilarity As Husky Proves That Owner Is Just 'Too Clingy'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Siberian husky named Gronk has left internet users in stitches after hilariously rejecting his owner's request for affection in a TikTok video. In the clip, shared in May under the username @grettandgronk, the poster can be heard asking Gronk "can I have a hug?" repeatedly, but instead of responding with enthusiasm, the unimpressed husky takes off running the opposite direction. "POV [point of view]: your husky thinks you are too clingy," reads layover text in the clip. "Does anyone else's dog do this too?!" the poster adds in the caption. Siberian huskies are known for being smart, and have been used throughout history for important missions. During World War II, "the U.S. Army used Siberian sled dogs for Arctic search and rescue of downed pilots and cargo," says the American Kennel Club (AKC). In 1925, the breed also managed to bring lifesaving serum to Nome, Alaska, from 600 miles away, to fight a local diphtheria epidemic. Despite looking intimidating, Siberians are actually a very friendly breed. However, they are also highly energetic and extremely athletic, which can sometimes make it challenging to keep them as pets, especially when they try to run off leash. Another trait Siberians are famous for is being very vocal and talkative. That's because of their pack animals roots, which meant they had to use vocal communication as a means of survival. Sometimes, they will howl along with other sounds like crying babies or police sirens, and when they are alone they may howl for their owners to come back. Often they howl to express how they are feeling too. While there are countless videos all over social media showing how good huskies are at imitating human speech and even talking back to their owners, the AKC says that like all other dogs, they are not using real words, just similar sounds. A stock image shows a Siberian husky standing by the edge of the door, looking at the camera.

One user, Furqan Rizwan6, commented: "My husky does this all the time and I always wonder why she runs away sometimes when I try to pet her." said: "My husky does the same thing. She gets upset at me for crying. One time I thought she was coming over to comfort me but she hit me in the face." Jose M Vasquez added: "Welcome to fatherhood. mine gets mad when I hug him when hes napping but when I come back from the gym and he sees me, he wants to the hug. NAH HOMIE KEEP THAT ENERGY!"
