"I can't believe this $6 product is better than the Nars, Bobbi Brown, and Charlotte Tilbury products that I have tried." —one *very* impressed reviewer after discovering this under-eye brightener
Fun fact: Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here are a few of the current ones so beloved by reviewers that they are *definitely* worth the hype:
1. A sling backpack that checks all the boxes for style, functionality, and convenience. It's surprisingly spacious and has all the pockets you could dream of, and two of them are big enough for full-size water bottles. It's perfect for bringing along while traveling, hiking, and visiting theme parks. (BTW, reviewers say this fits perfectly inside lockers.)
Promising review: "I would give this sling 10 stars if possible! Been searching and searching for a sling that will stay on my shoulder (a huge feat), is comfortable, phone easily accessible, has organization, is not too small or huge, holds water bottle, constructed with premium fabric yet looks professional rather than like I'm ready for a day in the woods. This is it!! An awesome bag! Can be worn as a sling over the shoulder or as a crossbody. Perfection." — Amazon Customer
2. A nifty gadget called the Bug Bite Thing because the mosquitoes are out and making their presence very known. This suction tool is designed to extract the insect saliva or venom left under the skin when you're bitten or stung and provide relief from itching.
See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review:" Best 10 bucks I ever spent! Oh my god, where has this simple, effective, ingenious device been all my life, and why hadn't I ever heard of it before? My 7-year-old got a bumble bee sting (yes, they DO sting and it HURTS). A few days later, I got stung by one. Then my 3-year-old got stung by one. Upon using this, it immediately stopped itching. I'd give this product a million stars!" — Me
3. An adorable pool floaty designed for your little future Olympic gold medalist so that they can learn proper swimming posture. It has four adjustable layers you can add or remove as needed to customize the float assistance and get the perfect buoyancy for your kiddo's swimming level.
It's suitable for ages 3–12 years old, and they must weigh over 20 pounds.
Promising review:"I've given other products 5 stars before, and if I could, I would give this one 10! My daughter is four now and always wearing a life vest, but I knew that she was ready to swim. I came across this while looking to upgrade her life fast and thought that, with the price being so reasonable, I would give it a shot. I could not be happier with the experience! She really wears the thing out too, using it three to five times a week and jumping in the water. It's so much better than a life vest because it goes with their natural buoyancy rather than encouraging complete dependence. If you're thinking about getting this, don't debate any longer — go for it, you won't regret it!" — ToddlersMom
4. A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses because you've been guilty of misplacing, sitting on, or stretching out your other shades by wearing them like a headband a few too many times. And let's be real — doing all that to a $200 pair of Ray-Bans just isn't it.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great and with the price point, I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" — Jessica M
"I wish I could give them 10 stars. So cute, made well, packing was perfect and came w accessories" — Chassie
Price: $18.99 (available in 12 sets of three, as well as two-packs and individual pairs)
5. A heavy-duty Shark vacuum with a detachable canister so you can move freely from room to room, reaching tricky areas like stairs, blinds, and even those ceiling cobwebs! It boasts *impressive* suction that can easily transition from carpet and hardwood to tile and linoleum, with a built-in HEPA filter to lock in dust and allergens. Its two attachments — a wide upholstery tool and a narrow crevice one — can efficiently suck up debris before you fall victim to goldfish crumbs between your toes (a sensory nightmare).
To give context for the photo on the right: The reviewer first cleaned their living room with a Bissell, then followed up with the Shark. You can see how much more dirt and hair the Shark picked up that the Bissell left behind.
Promising review:"Holy mother of god, this vacuum is incredible. It sucked up so much dust and dirt from my carpet, it feels like a brand-new carpet and as if I've never vacuumed my floors before. 1 0/5 stars, would HIGHLY recommend this vacuum. A random video on Facebook of this vacuum sucking up glitter and various bits and sizes of confetti convinced me to buy this." — Maria Yuhas
6. A cruelty-free Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener making waves for its ability to hide and brighten dark circles. Your old concealers might start to feel a bit jealous of this one's color-adapting formula, lightweight feel, and seamless blending.
To use, apply this in thin layers to avoid creasing, then follow with your favorite concealer and setting powder if you like. If you don't like applying products with your fingers, they also make a triangle-shaped puff that's perfect for using with this.
Promising reviews: "I would give this product 10 stars if I could!!! This stuff has me in complete AWE!! It is a game changer, light, easy to apply with your fingertips, and looks AWESOME alone or paired with your favorite powder foundation! I'm going to be purchasing more and hopefully this product will be around a long time!!" — Cattipillar08
"I can't believe this $6 product is better than the Nars, Bobbi Brown, and Charlotte Tilbury products that I have tried. I didn't even set it, and it lasted all day in the 100-degree Arizona heat yesterday! I also have very sensitive skin, and this did not cause any reactions." — Charlene B.
Psst — these are also available with matching setting powders for a more matte look!
7. A pair of scrunch workout shorts the gym girlies are saying is a copy of the often sold-out Dfyne leggings — and at almost half the price. Reviewers describe the fabric as thick, stretchy, and squat-proof, with the right amount of compression. Take this as a warning, though: You'll have to pick your jaw up off the floor after seeing how good it makes your bum look.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"Dfyne is always sold out, so I decided to try these. I put them side by side with my Dfyne shorts, and they're the exact same quality, just no brand names." — Anon
"There are a lot of workout bottoms for sale. These are popular for a reason. The high waistband gives reassurance as you move through your workouts. I may experience slight roll down if I'm doing a lot, but it's nothing like what I've experienced in other shorts/workout pants that were horrendous with roll down. I wash mine in my washer/dryer regularly, and I'm not encountering any issues. I'm comfortable wearing these as everyday shorts, I like the longer cut on the legs instead of being cut too close to the booty. 100/10 would recommend." — haley
8. A power scrubber brush, which attaches to your drill to do all the hard scrubbing for you, saving your elbow grease for something else — like popping open a bottle of wine after a long day's work of cleaning.
Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments.
Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!
Promising review:"Watch out sliced bread, there's a new unit of measurement in town. I used the larger diameter flat brush for 90% of the shower. Glass, tiles, floor, I drilled it all. I used the toilet brush-shaped head for corners and the slopes, and the smallest brush for hard-to-reach spots. There were spots of mold my wife and I tried to scrub....and scrub.....and scrub in the tiles grout that we could never get out. After subjecting the mold to the unbridled power of my drill and these brushes, it went running and screaming to the drain. After ceasing my maniacal laughter, I stopped to marvel at the fact that something we've scrubbed with hand brushes for hours, literally, was clean in a matter of seconds. Since I cannot rate items 100+ stars on Amazon's limited rating service, I was forced to give this product a mere 5-star review." — Daniel Rose
9. A mess-free, reusable Bluey aqua art pad, aka the ultimate lifesaver for parents (or fun aunts and uncles) to keep little ones entertained without the mess while on road trips, in waiting rooms, or even just a chill afternoon at home. Just fill the provided brush pen with water and let them go to town!
The set comes with one spiral-bound pad with four aqua art sheets, four story sheets, and the water brush pen.
Promising review: "The best invention ever. If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. These are the best coloring books ever. You just add water to the pen and they can color away! They're reusable and don't make a mess, so you can use them at home, in the car, without tight supervision. I can just give my daughter the coloring book and not worry that my whole house will be covered in crayon or marker. And the best part is that it fades and she can do it again and again!" — michelle kelly
10. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner because this little wizard is capable of handling all the messes life throws at you, from the spilled coffee stain on your car seat to the mark your potty-training pup left on your new rug. It's portable and has a large tank, which = more cleans in between refills. It's like watching a spell unfold, turning that mess into a memory.
www.amazon.com
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Check out a TikTok of the Bissell cleaner in action.
Promising reviews:" Wish I'd bought this years ago. Best thing for cat puke. It's really that simple. Use a good shampoo additive, and ta-da! Like magic. Works so much better than any other method. Seriously." — Charlee L.
"This machine is amazing. Easy to fill the solution, clean with and clean out after. I would give it more time than 5 stars if I could!" — Jacqueline
11. A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer (with nearly 400,000 5-star ratings!!!) allowing you to dry and style your hair in one fell swoop, which means you can hit snooze a few more times in the morning and still come out looking like you just stepped out of the salon.
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.
Promising review: "I always read the reviews before I buy them. If I could give this product 1,000 stars, I would. Just buy it and see the difference to your hair. I have thick, wavy, shoulder-length hair. This hair dryer got my hair really salon-perfect. It cuts hair-blowing time in half and leaves my hair frizz-free, silky, and soft. Love this product soooo much that I threw out my blow-dryer and brushes. I now only use the Revlon!!!!!!!!"— Antonella M.
12. A fast-paced game of Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza that'll have everyone laughing all day long, no matter what age. It's pretty straightforward to learn, and you're able to pack it up and play it anywhere. It's perfect for family fun *or* a new addition to drunk game night — but don't be fooled by the cute design; reviewers call it "mind-bending" for a reason!
Amazon
It's recommended for ages 8 and up! Here's how to play: You deal all the cards out to your two to four players, and everyone keeps their mini deck face down. Everyone takes a turn putting a card down in the middle of the table, saying one of the words "taco," "cat," "goat," "cheese," and "pizza," in that order. If the picture on your card matches the word that's said, everyone slaps their hand on the card in a pile as quickly as possible. The last person on the pile has to take the stack and add them to their cards, and whoever runs out of cards first wins!
BTW, Dolphin Hat Games is a small business that specializes in family-friendly card games!
Promising review:" So much fun — I wish I could give it more stars! I have had such fun playing this with my 6- and 8-year-old grandchildren! It is easy to learn, but so much fun. Even better, it is a game you can fit in when you don't have a ton of time (it can be played quickly, unlike Monopoly, haha...). Quick-moving and hilarious — you won't be sorry you made this purchase!" — MiniDiana
13. A bottle of multi-use Bio-Oil ready to tackle whatever you throw at it...like when you're channeling your inner Gordon Ramsay and have a mishap that leaves a souvenir scar, or your skin decides to go full desert mode, leaving you wondering when you moved to the Sahara. It's loaded with the good stuff (vitamin E, chamomile, a hint of lavender oil) to improve the appearance of scars and marks and hydrate your skin.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Last year I broke both arms and had surgery on a few things, which left me with nasty scars. :( As soon as casts and bandages were all gone, I immediately started using this oil. I don't use very much, just a couple of small drops, but oh man, can I see a difference. I will always have the scars; nothing I can do to take those away, but this oil has changed the color of the skin on and around my scar to its natural color. Like I said, I don't use much at all — I purchased it a year ago and still have over half the bottle left." — Sara
14. The fan-fave Nyx makeup setting spray that every makeup enthusiast should have in their arsenal. A few spritzes of this miracle elixir will lock your makeup in place, preventing it from smudging, melting, or fading away. It's perfect for those days when your foundation seems to have a mind of its own.
This personal makeup assistant comes in three different finishes — matte, dewy, and plump. Fun fact: The reviewer in the second photo said they worked a 12-hour shift bartending and thanks to this setting spray, their makeup still looked fabulous.
Promising reviews: "If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Makes my makeup last all night!" — Jillian
"Amazing makeup setting spray. I was very skeptical at first because it looked too good to be true for the price, but this little bottle works like magic. I apply my makeup early in the morning, and it lasts the whole day without melting down. Even in the warmest days, my face is never shiny or oiled, and I tend to sweat a lot on my face. I have very sensitive skin and suffer from rosacea, and this product does not irritate my skin. I'm sold. Already bought a second one for my makeup bag." – Feisty Shopper
15. A clear stadium bag perfectly sized to fit all your essentials: your phone, ID, credit cards, a small bottle of sunblock, and even a mini fan to keep you cool when you're dancing your heart out at all those upcoming music festivals.
Promising review:"Bought for concerts and festivals — holds everything needed and then some! Nice thick and flexible clear plastic with very strong stitching and a very comfortable adjustable strap! I went to a festival, and there were some massive torrential downpours that sprung up. I was pretty well soaked to the skin. NOTHING inside the bag got wet at all! Not in the outside pocket nor in the main bag compartment! Absolutely giving this bag 5 stars, and would give it 10 if I could!" — Leeta Nor
16. Kitsch's overnight heatless curls set capable of creating dreamy curls while you catch some z's. Imagine going to bed with your hair wrapped up in a super soft rod, only to wake up with curls that are nothing short of fabulous. And here's the kicker: It's all done without an ounce of heat.
This product is designed for use on all hair types!
Promising review:"I had low expectations for this product to work because curls from a curling iron fall out of my hair pretty immediately. I was blown away by how well these heatless curls turned out, though! It's easy enough to do, but there's a bit of a learning curve to getting the curls tightly wrapped. It takes less than 10 minutes, and my hair is ready to go when I wake up. I'm a side sleeper and find it a tad uncomfortable to sleep on, but it's a small price to pay for curls that last all day, in my opinion. I'd give this 10 stars if I could — truly a game changer that's made my mornings so much easier." — Stephanie
17. Levi's Cinch Baggy Jeans to solve the age-old problem with denim shopping: that ANNOYING waist gap. These have a built-in cinch band, letting you bring in the waist for a customized fit that feels tailored just for you. And they offer just the right amount of stretch, moving with you so you can enjoy both style and comfort without feeling restricted.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! I have been on the hunt for jeans for so long, and I finally found them." — Zoë Van den Berg
"This is one of my favorite pairs of jeans. I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. I am usually a 32 and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it's longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to tighten the waist. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color." — Peace
18. E.l.f.'s Halo Glow Liquid Filter that not only serves as a radiant, blurring primer but also mixes seamlessly with your moisturizer or foundation for that "I woke up like this" glow. And for those days you're feeling extra, a little dab on top of your makeup makes for the most natural-looking highlight.
But wait, there's more! It's packed with hyaluronic acid and squalane, which means your skin gets a delicious drink of hydration every time you wear it.
Promising reviews: "With this, I can just skip the primer and even the moisturizer (but I still try to at least get some sunscreen in there, which we all know is very important), which saves me a ton of time and also allows me to be able to go out to run errands, etc. without worrying about my makeup/skin/how I look! And for such an affordable price, it's a very rare value!! Believe me, please, when I say that this product is true 'magic-in-a-bottle' that smashes all those other similar products to bits!" — Tami
"100 stars!! Perfect as a base for your foundation if you're going for the glass skin look. Leaves a dewy finish and feels great." — Shelly Melanson (Magner)
19. A bottle of Paula's Choice salicylic acid liquid exfoliant useful for clearing out pores and evening your skin's texture and tone. It's gentle enough to use daily, unlike those other gritty face scrubs that feel like you're sandblasting your skin.
Promising review: "12 out of 10 stars. Wow, just wow! I waited two weeks to post, and my skin has totally transformed in those two weeks. My dark spots are nearly gone, pores are definitely less visible, and my skin just feels so clean and clear. I notice a huge difference when applying makeup now. I use it with a toner, and I use it only at night, just because I'm not great at applying SPF during the day. This will definitely be a part of my skincare routine now." — Lauren
20. Kinetic Sand, a delightful sensory toy that brings the beach right to your fingertips, minus the sunburn and sand in weird places. It flows through your fingers like regular sand, but here's the twist: It sticks together and holds its shape like some kind of enchanted clay. You won't have to worry about a messy cleanup, and it never dries out!
Promising reviews: "I would rate this 10 stars if I could. The entertainment value is impeccable! It entertains my 2-year-old toddler for hours! The quality and design of it are perfect! I have recommended this so all my friends with toddlers. It's a great sensory toy!" — Amber Goolsby
"This stuff is great! I got it for my grandchildren. No mess, smell and easy to clean up! It's like magic. I liked playing with it too. It's great for if you need physical therapy for your hands." — Van
21. Color Wow's "Raise The Root" thickening and lifting spray so you can get (and keep) instant volume and body-ody-ody during these humid summer days. It works by acting like a spring at the roots of each strand, giving your mane that extra oomph without weighing it down.
For that va-va-voom look, simply spray this product onto your damp *or* dry locks, focusing on the roots. Style your hair as you wish, and lock in the volume by using a blow-dryer for results that last all day.
Promising review: "If I could give this product 10 stars, I would! I have a cowlick at the crown of my head that I struggle with daily. Saw this product and bought the small one to give it a try. Oh my gosh, it works!!!' Even the next morning (which, after sleeping, is at its worst), and it was still covered, I was shocked. Now I wish I had bought the bigger bottle. Truly the best product for this reason I've ever used, and I'm a hairdresser, and I've tried many, many products. Highly recommend." — Jillian Feltz
22. A handy tri-fold mirror that hangs right on your bathroom door, giving you a 360-degree view of your gorgeous self while you snip those split ends, touch up your roots, or braid your hair.
Promising reviews:"The mirror is very easy to set up and perfect for its price! It's portable, nice, and of good quality. 100/10." — Oracio Lopez
"This has helped me so much to do my root touch-ups and toning at home. I can see better the sides and back of my head. The size is perfect, and the height is adjustable. It's folds conveniently into a thin mirror, making it easy for me to store in my small bathroom cabinet." — Jenny G
23. A jar of 40% urea cream if the skin on your feet is A) thick, B) rough, C) cracked, or all of the above. This cream helps slough away corns, calluses, and dry patches while bringing your ~sole~ back to life with some much-needed rehydration.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
You can use it on feet, elbows, knees, and hands. It's made from natural ingredients such as aloe vera, safflower oil, chamomile, and tea tree oil.
Promising review:"First off, I NEVER write reviews. But this is such a miracle product, I had to say something. I have had the hardest, driest feet with major cracking for almost my whole life (nearly 50 years!). I have tried numerous products. I pretty much had given up. But then my neighbor recommended this cream. I was skeptical at first, but after using it for about a month, I could not believe the change! My feet are SO MUCH BETTER! Not the hard, cracking feet anymore! Even my nail tech shakes his head in disbelief every time he sees my feet. He just can't believe it! He now recommends this to his clients! I use it 5-7 nights a week. Put the cream on the feet, put on some socks, and leave it all night while I sleep. I cannot stress how big of a miracle this stuff is!! I am still in shock at how good it is! I wish I had before pictures, but it was REALLY BAD!! Not anymore!!!! I would have given this 10 stars if I could!" — Shari Curley

43 Cheap Versions Of Products For Thirtysomethings

A tinted lip balm that's eerily close to the same magic as "Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running — especially since it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the usual $68 version. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream your skin will be SO happy to soak up — this is formulated with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil to help hydrate, tighten, and gently exfoliate your skin so effectively that you should be able to see early results in two weeks. Reviewers especially love how affordable this is compared to creams that often cost three times this $12 price tag (or more)! A TikTok-beloved "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 👀. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding (*without* the $30 Olaplex price tag). All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will be your holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes when your summer schedule is 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. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm, a game-changing makeup remover made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E that reviewers adore for getting that ✨ CLEAN clean✨ feeling — it's designed to leave zero residue or oiliness, *plus* brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots. People compare it to pricey versions like the $36 Farmacy Green Clean, $49 Dermalogica Precleanse Oil Cleanser, and $69 Elemis Cleansing Balm! A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips, like the $45 Crest White Strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. 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~~! Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush, aka your scalp's BFF this summer — reviewers don't just swear by this for face coverage and a protective setting powder, but for protecting their hairline without their hair getting goopy from sunscreen scalp sprays or regular sunscreen lotion. Bonus — this is a heck of a lot cheaper than its competitors, like the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block! E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm for all the ultra fans of Summer Fridays, Rhode, and Laneige whose bank accounts are begging them to put a stop to the lippie madness. These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.) A set of Victoria's Secret–inspired seamless "invisible" underwear so soft and stretchy your butt will want to *sing* when you slide them on. This is a true holy grail underwear that doesn't show, doesn't ride up, and somehow manages to look cute all at the same time. A trendy, adjustable slouchy shoulder bag reviewers compare to the $300 Coach Brooklyn version — it's basically all of the effortless cool and useful roominess, without the big ole price tag. In case that wasn't enough of a perk, it also comes with a free matching cosmetic bag! A set of biodegradable ultra-soft face towels inspired by the much pricier $18 Clean Skin Club version — a lot of folks with sensitive skin and acne *swear* by these, particularly because it helps prevent exposing their skin to bacteria that may collect in ordinary reusable towels. A set of golden bracelets giving ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices. Reviewers especially love these mix-and-match sets because they look like expensive versions from Cartier — the middle one is giving the $8,000 "Juste Un Clou" and the studded one is giving the $6,000 "Love Bracelet!" An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's $90 Santal 33 version, 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 fall, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend. An easy-to-apply one-hour (!!) self-tanner so much cheaper and more effective than its competitors (like the $46 St. Tropez) that your medicine cabinet will laugh at the old versions you used. This vegan blend is easy for beginners to use without streaking or uneven patches, and although the tan is instant, the fade is nice and gradual. A Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint reviewers compare to Charlotte Tilbury's $35 Pillow Talk and Nars' $22 Velvet Lip Glide. This one gets bonus points for the softness of the matte color, how buildable and long-lasting it is, and how it doesn't crack or leave skin feeling dry. A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses for anyone who needs to stock up on a few "these look like Ray-Bans, but I won't cry into my Baja Blast if I accidentally leave them in the Taco Bell parking lot" pairs this year. These are especially handy because you can match the subtle prints to whatever 'fit you're wearing! A set of lightweight, oh-so-dainty ruffled pajamas inspired by the $89 Piyama version. Revievers are in loooove with this set for summer, saying the fabric is so high quality that it feels like linen. If you're looking for breezy warm weather loungewear, this adorable set fits the bill! Billion Dollar Brows Eyebrow Powder to fill in your brows as naturally and realistically as the $23 Anastasia Brow Duo version that has held "holy grail" status for so long. Reviewers are stunned by how effective this is and how long it lasts, especially at such a low price point. A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one? The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey $40 Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops, aka the more affordable version of the beloved $39 Drunk Elephant version. This buildable, hydrating formula is an easy way to add a ~sunkissed touch~ to your beauty routine without breaking the bank (or compromising your skin!). A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts so comfy and adorable that you are about to put all other styles on notice for the rest of the year — especially since these are a MUCH cheaper alternative to the $98 Reformation version. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume any fans of YSL's $95 bottle of Black Opium will want to snap up, FAST. This compelling, subtly layered blend of mandarin, vanilla, pink pepper, jasmine, and cedarwood is a beautiful all-seasons signature scent that reviewers can't stop raving about — especially because it has such great staying power throughout the day. A Lululemon-inspired mini wristlet wallet set that looks just like their $50 version, and also easily holds cash, cards, and lip balms, so you don't have to deal with the whole muss and fuss of a purse if you're going on a walk around the neighborhood. Plus, you know what they say — keep your friends close and your beloved lippies closer. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes (and a much cheaper alternative to the viral $26 Blinc version). 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. A simple faux diamond tennis bracelet to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit without the price of name-brand versions like the $299 version at Swarovski (even though reviewers agree this looks like the Real Deal 👀). And a dainty gold-plated station necklace, another home run from jewelry brand Pavoi so close to the real diamond versions from Quince and Dorsey that run $400+ that it'll turn all your everyday looks into ~quietly expensive~ looks. A set of super affordable hydrocolloid nose pore patches (compare to the $16 Mighty Patch equivalent) that will make you go "boy HOWDY" when you see how much gunk collects on them overnight. Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance! An Anthropologie-inspired reversible quilted throw blanket you can get in all kinds of fun, lively prints that will startle your boring couch into having a personality, or give your bed a *much* needed reset. L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist so darn phenomenal at its job that one reviewer calls it "hairspray for your face," and several compare it to the $34 One/Size setting spray at triple the price. This ultra-fine formula sprays on lightly and leaves a natural finish, but just one spray is designed to LOCK IN your look for 36 hours. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering the full-size price of its competitor, the $54 Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. A charming and oh-so-comfortable tennis skirt with built-in shorts — reviewers compare the buttery soft quality to Lululemon's $78 Align Skirt, and love the secret inner pocket on the shorts for stashing keys and tennis balls. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, your new favorite alternative to Dior's (discontinued!!) Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. A roll-up wide brim UPF 50 sun hat to protect your cheeks from the sun's rays *and* keep you looking effortlessly chic no matter how many days it's been since your last hair wash. This one is a real winner because of how absurdly packable it is, making it perfect for shoving into a tote bag on long days and a suitcase on vacation — and how affordable it is compared to $87+ versions from brands like Bloomingdale's, Wallaroo, and Cuyana. Olay's Firming Body Lotion full of collagen peptides and a Vitamin B3 complex for *ultra* hydration designed to visibly plump, firm, and moisturize your skin — all at a fraction of the price of other firming lotions, like the internet's beloved $48 Elasti-Cream. A ribbed button up tank top with some real Abercrombie & Fitch energy to perfectly straddle that line of "professional" and "I am 100000% going out after work today, and a martini glass will be involved." A pair of pretty pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like the $399 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. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a beloved K-beauty staple reviewers compare to the $46 Gisou version for MEGA hair hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees, so you can style your hair without sacrificing on ✨shine✨. This unique blend of seven-oil blend Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oil not only protects hair, but helps correct damage from dryness, *and* reduces drying time. A ~weightless~ liquid cream blush with some real $22 Rare Beauty blush energy that's having a whole moment and a half on Amazon right now. Reviewers adore how high-pigmented and blendable the colors are and how soft and dewy the effect is on their skin. A shockingly affordable "Glow Up!" Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a punch as powerful as the $30+ versions — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration.
