You'll want to tell your friends about these amazing makeup, hair, and skincare essentials.
1. A luxurious leave-on lip mask to say goodbye to chapped lips once and for all. This mask is like a blast of hydration, containing a trio of hyaluronic acid, castor seed oil, and squalene to create plump, pillowy puckers. This will moisturize your lips while you snooze away or whenever you feel that chilly-air-tightness coming on!
Target
Promising review:"I have not been disappointed by a single E.l.f. product. I love the amount of hydration from this product. E.l.f. products are affordable and I appreciate they are still higher quality products. The fragrance-free moisturizing lotion is the best!" — Christmastime
2. A milky vanilla moisturizing bath bomb because moisture starts from how you treat your skin during bath time! This bath bomb doesn't contain harsh ingredients — instead, it moisturizes and soothes redness with ingredients like coconut and oats. The best part? It smells like vanilla to up the cozy bath vibes.
Target
4. A hydrating facial cleanser because cleaning your skin should NOT mean stripping it of its vital oils! Seriously, your skin *needs* the good bacteria and oils that traditional foaming cleansers tend to strip away. Protect your lipid barrier with a moisturizing cleanser (like this one) that rids the skin of the day's grime while simultaneously hydrating it to its plump glory.
Target
Promising review:"I have tried every face wash, spot treatment, acne medication, birth control, and professional facial service under the sun, and I have had acne since I was 17. I bought this, and my skin cleared up completely in three months, so much that I was able to completely stop all other topicals and oral dermatologist medications. I use the a.m. and p.m. moisturizer, too; this was really a godsend." — Ks97
5. A plumping lip gloss if you're SUPER inspired by the 2000s revival of pillowy soft and glossy lips. Pair this with your favorite lip liner for a plump and reflective pout.
Target
Promising review:"Amazing lip gloss and 'rosewood' is the perfect color for me. Also, the color lasts quite a while." — curlygirl
6. A magic root cover spray because there's concealer for your face — why not have a concealer for your hair? If you're in between coloring appointments and want to spruce up your roots for a meeting, dinner, or just for yourself, simply spray this and no one will be the wiser.
7. A tube of Weleda Skin Food that's your new saving grace whenever dry skin strikes. This cream is a cult-favorite for soaking into the skin and creating a soft-lit, luminous glow that lasts. You can slather on a whopping amount to act as a moisturizing mask or apply a pea-size amount in lieu of your typical moisturizer.
Target
Promising review:"This product is terrific. I must mention its hydration prowess, which was just outstanding. It hydrates the skin better than other brands I've tried. If you're in search of a cream that offers deep nourishment and superior skin hydration, then this is it!" — Amalia
Price: $19.99
8. A brow glue because the days of using glycerin soap to achieve wispy, feathery brows are DONE! This brow glue locks brow hairs into place and comes in a convenient tube with a spoolie, so that you'll never have to dip your tools into soap ever again.
Target
Plus, unlike other brow-freezing products on the market, this one costs about the same price as glycerin soap! Cha-ching. If you don't know the soap brow trick, check out this comparison of $1 soap brows versus a $112 brow gel.
Promising review:"I cannot express how much I love this product! I was looking for something that was easy to apply, did not leave white residue, and actually lasted throughout the day. This does all that! I have tried other brow-freezing products, soap brows, even putting hairspray on a spoolie…but none of them last and end up with white noticeable residue. For the price, it's 100% worth a shot!" — Ely B
9. A hair oil mist if you just can't be bothered with flat-ironing flyaways daily. This is one of the easiest ways to smooth frizz in a flash while adding a gorgeous scent and moisturizing with argan oil!
10. A liquid eyeliner because graphic liner looks and killer wings are still all the rage these days, but they're painfully difficult to perfect. Luckily, even novices can master a cut-worthy wing with this liner's easy-to-use stencil!
Target
Promising reviews:"This eyeliner does its job, but what I really like is the cap. The wing on the cap is so useful for helping me make a wing tip without making a mess on my 50-year-old eyelids. I love it!" — Reviewer
"Once it's on...it stays. I love that once it dries, there is no smearing!" — abrewer19
11. A pore-minimizing primer since there is no dewy makeup finish without a smooth base for your foundation! This primer is perfect for those who have prominent pores or oily T-zones that causes makeup to melt off as quickly as it went on.
Maybelline
Promising review:"I love the way it makes my skin feel and look; glad that I bought two by mistake. All you need is less than a dime size to cover your face. Love that you don't need a lot of product and it makes your skin feel smooth. Definitely a go-to in my makeup routine. I would buy this product again." — Jen31787
12. An Odele leave-in detangling tonic because using a hair detangler is the best way to quickly separate curls and get rid of knots without causing too much frizz. Along with conditioning the hair, ingredients like amino acids and plant proteins strengthen the strands while boosting shine. Use this on damp hair and watch how easily your wide-tooth comb will glide through your strands.
Target
Promising review:"I love how this product makes my hair feel after allowing it to dry then flat ironing it or curling it. I use it right after towel-drying my hair. I start at the ends of my hair, then root. I have thick, frizzy, wavy hair. This works wonders." — The taste was just right
Price: $12.99
13. A Maybelline mascara that has cemented itself as one of TikTok's favorite lash-enhancing products, years after first going viral! This mascara makes it easy to achieve full, defined, come-hither lashes with just a few strokes — clumps not included.

Promising review:"I've seen people raving about this mascara a lot on TikTok, so I had to try it. I got it in the shade 'very black.' I've purchased it two times now. I love how lengthening and thickening it is without being clumpy, and it's not hard to remove." — Natalie
14. A Neutrogena Hydro Boost sheet mask because it contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate dry skin and add a natural plump. A mask version of the beloved gel moisturizer, this is great to use during a spa night, but you can also use this during your morning routine to start your day off with a dewy glow!
Target
Promising review:"I bought this mask on a whim, and I loved it so much that I bought a couple more to bring on my international travels. Post-flight, this mask is phenomenal for hydration." — DanniJo
15. A micellar water for the first step in your nighttime skincare routine — removing your makeup. This micellar water is great because it removes ALL makeup, including waterproof mascara! And the best part? Micellar water only removes impurities, meaning it's nonstripping and generally great for those with dry skin.
Target
16. A jar of Aquaphor healing ointment because, hear me out — Aquaphor isn't just for fading scars or stowing in a diaper bag. It's the skincare community's secret to glowing skin! Many people use Aquaphor for "slugging," a skincare practice that uses an ointment after a nighttime routine to seal in all the hydrating serums and moisturizing creams. I've been slugging for the past few years with Aquaphor and GEEZ! I've never woken up with softer skin in my life.
instagram.com
17. A super moisturizing shampoo that contains Kristin Ess' proprietary Zip-Up Technology to seal split ends! Though this color-safe formula is sulfate-free, it still lathers up like a dream *and* contains moisturizing avocado oil! If you want something to give your hair a boost in between salon appointments, this is the perfect no-thoughts-required shampoo.
Target
Promising review:"This is a GREAT shampoo/conditioner combo!!!! I was really nervous to go back to drugstore after falling in love with Dae products, but this works just as well as the expensive stuff for half the price!!! My hair feels so soft and this has a nice smell that lasts!! I will be repurchasing!! Not to mention gorgeous packaging!!" — Kaylee
18. A Tree Hut Tropic Glow whipped body butter because your body's skin also deserves some love. This body butter smells like a warm, vanilla-y tropical dream, and it seeps into the skin to provide lasting hydration.
Target
19. A BHA 2% liquid exfoliant so that you can say bye-bye to blackheads once and for all. BHAs (also known as beta hydroxy acids) are what you need to clear out the gunk from your pores and banish acne-causing dead skin cells.
Target
Promising review:"This product has helped my overall skin texture and helped with acne and acne scarring. Bonus: the product lasts MONTHS at a time for me using it multiple times a week." — Ana
20. And an E.l.f. contour palette, because it's been making the rounds on TikTok for its ability to sculpt the face, add warmth, and up any makeup look! People love that this pressed powder formula glides onto the skin easily and rarely appears blotchy.

You'll def want this baby for summer. Promising review: "I participate in an outdoor sport later in the afternoon, and I was concerned that the sunscreen I'd applied in the morning wasn't providing me any protection later in the day when I needed it most. Cue the E.l.f. sunscreen spray! I just give myself a few spritzes before heading out to my sport, and my face is more protected from the late-day rays. This definitely does not take the place of cream sunscreen, but it's a great option for renewed protection when you already have a full face of makeup on." —AnnePrice: $14 A Cosrx peptide boosting serum, which is basically a magic potion that'll help improve *so* many skincare probz.

Getting rid of the hair on your legs has never been easier. Literally, all you do is apply a thick layer of Nair, wait three minutes, wipe it off, and rinse. That's it!

Only on your legs, arms, underarms, and bikini area. Promising review: "I absolutely love Nair Body Cream Hair Remover!

I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and effective body hair removal cream." —TiaraPrice: $5.84 A cuticle remover with aloe and chamomile to soothe, moisturize, and condition your cuticles as it quickly eliminates the excess skin.

Highly recommend." —MaureenPrice: $4.97 A passion fruit sugar scrub that'll help exfoliate dead skin, deliver deep moisture, and bring back your skin's natural ✨glow. ✨ Ya know the glowing skin you had when you were 8-years-old, before you developed the stress emotion like Riley in Inside Out? It's makin' a comeback. Promising review: "It smells amazing and after only one use, my skin feels so smooth and baby-soft to the touch.

And rightfully so — this stuff smells too good to be true. It is lightweight, will deliver a whole lotta long-lasting moisture, and will surely make its way to the top of your favorites list. Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this lotion, from the smell to the texture. If you are a sweet vanilla type, then you will love it! The smell and hydration last all day (maybe a touch-up or two), and the scent lingers on your clothing. The texture is very smooth, it's not sticky or overly oily, it absorbs fast, and softens the skin, leaving a hydrated glow. I'm very picky with my lotions' smell and texture. I have dry skin, and I can use this with or without my after-shower body oil. It's a must-have in your lotion collection!!" —mistyPrice: $9.97 (available in two- and three-packs) Plus, an Eos whipped oil butter because their body lotion has held you down for so long, you KNOW this is gonna be incredible. The thicck (two Cs because she's extra thiiiccckk), rich, buttery *but not heavy* texture will help lock in moisture, leaving your skin hydrated.

This mousse will apply evenly and deliver you some magical results in only an hour. And best of all, no fake-tan smell! Leave it on for 4+ hours for darker review: "I absolutely love this self-tanner. It doesn't make you look orange, it goes on easily, and it gives you a very dark, natural-looking tan that lasts days. You don't have to use much, and it lasts at least five to six applications. It is just awesome. Best self-tanner I've ever used, and I've tried several different self-tanners from different companies, and they don't hold a candle to this tanner or company. You can't beat the price." —TeresaPrice: $9.97 A jar of The Best Damn Beard Balm made with *superior-grade ingredients* like lanolin and cocoa butter to help keep your beard and skin lookin' and feeling moisturized as heck.

The Honey Pot Company was founded by a Black woman!Promising review: "I've been using Honey Pot for three years now, and I'm grateful they're carried at Walmart.

Don't put the bad stuff in you, buy Honey Pot!" —AlyssaPrice: $8.38 for a pack of 12 A set of six Topicals under-eye patches packed with all the good stuff like niacinamide, caffeine, and kojic acid to help brighten, hydrate, de-puff, and cool your under-eye skin.

No white cast over here, just some lightweight, flawless coverage. Promising review: "When I started looking for a tinted sunscreen, I had originally chosen the CeraVe tinted sunscreen, but they were out of my shade. I found this one as my next option, and I do not regret my choice! I actually used this today in my makeup routine instead of foundation. I have acne and hyperpigmentation. I color corrected and concealed first, then patted in the tinted sunscreen with a dense face brush. The coverage was phenomenal; everything looked very even, and the finish had a beautiful glow. I look forward to using this daily in my skincare/beauty routine to help protect my skin barrier and provide some evenness and glow to my complexion. Recommend!!" —TristenPrice: $15.97 (available in 10 shades) A 12-pack of pH-balanced Summer's Eve wipes to remove odor/odor-causing bacteria and keep you feeling and smelling fresh (down there) all day.

Plus, you need several of 'em just to get every part of your mouth. With this, you'll be able to remove plaque and bacteria with just water. Promising review: "I never thought water flossing was effective, but my dental hygienist suggested I try one, so I bought this. I couldn't believe how much better a Waterpik cleans between teeth than regular floss — and so quickly. I just had a regular checkup, and my gums didn't bleed. I am recommending this to everyone I know... I'm 73, and I can't believe I'm only now trying out a Waterpik!" —Lady73Price: $37.97 (originally $215.99; available in a two-pack) A tube of nipple cream for the breastfeeding mommas with sore nips. And don't worry about cleaning it off before feeding, it's 100% natural and safe for baby! Promising reviews: "This is one thing I recommend to anyone planning on breastfeeding. I have nursed four children and have had it for each of them. (Just bought another for our new little one.) A little goes a long way. I used it for the first couple of months, and then I didn't need it anymore. I always have half of the tube left." —Erica4"Definitely a lifesaver for first-time breastfeeding mommas.

You'll also get 20 butterfly clips and 20 color-coded metal reviews: "I use electric curlers. Curlers keep my hair healthy instead of an iron. I have used heated curlers for many years. This product is fabulous. It is made like the curlers in the 1970s. I am glad I purchased them. I have used many brands, and this one is the best I've used in 20 years. I am glad I discovered them. The old set I had fell apart and smelled like they were on fire the last two months. I paid twice as much money for those. I hope these curlers last a long time. Very pleased!" —Elizabeth"This is a must-have if you want hot rollers. It's perfect for all hair lengths and especially good for color-treated hair!!" —osagePrice: $79.99 Or a Kitsch heatless satin curling rod for beautiful, juicy curls on those days when you don't wanna sit and bother with other tools. (So, like, every day, right?) Stunning curls with minimal effort. This also comes with two satin scrunchies. So, I bet you're thinking, *how does this baby work?* Start with slightly damp hair. Position the curling rod to the middle of your head, then begin to wind one side around the curler. Once you get to the end of your hair, wind it with the included scrunchies and do the same on the other side. Take it out the next morning and enjoy your voluminous, gorgeous curls!Kitsch is an LA-based woman-owned small biz that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review: "Love these heatless curls, this is the only way that I can get my curls to stay, very comfortable to sleep in, and pretty curls in the morning. Highly recommend, super easy to do. Would recommend getting a claw clip or having duck bills to hold in place while putting it in." —LoraPrice: $15.98+ (available in two colors) A Flamingo razor with two five-blade refills that'll serve you up a *reaaaally* close, comfortable shave. The blades are surrounded by water-activated aloe and shea butter strips to help it effortlessly glide across your skin and protect you from irritation. Plus, it comes with a shower holder! Promising reviews: "I love how I don't have to use any shaving cream or soap with this razor. It easily glides and makes my legs feel so smooth! I got out of the shower, and it felt like my legs were in silk sheets! Iykyk! I also love how comfy it is to hold and that it comes with a suction cup holder! It's very cute and definitely worth the price!" —Ashlee"I was very surprised and impressed with this razor!! First time using it today and I thought it was gonna cut me just like all the other new ones did, but it didn't!! I always shave with just water, and this razor makes it slide smoothly without any problems!!!" —HeatherPrice: $9.97 And a roll-on ingrown hair treatment because shaving seems great — ya know, the super smooth legs you can't stop touching — but you also know the razor bumps are on their way. This'll help you prevent AND get rid of those pesky suckers. Plus, it'll do the same for ingrown hairs, so you won't have to skip the beach because of a super annoying pus-filled bump. Promising review: "I am super prone to ingrown hairs and razor bumps. This stuff is seriously a miracle!! I've used countless products over the years that I found from internet searches or TikTok videos, and none really worked for me. I have always dreaded shaving my legs because it never fails, I have angry bumps by the next day, and super itchy legs. I've epilated, waxed, sugared, it seems like I've tried everything. Wasted so much money on fancy razors, even, and none of it ever mattered. Since incorporating this product, my legs look and feel so much better! The roll top kind of sounds like an excited raccoon while I am rolling it on my legs, but that's my only criticism. It does burn a bit when applying, but with how bad my razor burn is, it is a small price to pay. Do yourself a favor and try this product. I wish I had found it before the end of summer." —KayPrice: $13.97 A facial steamer for the full *spa* experience right at home for a fraction of the cost. This baby even doubles as a humidifier and has an extra chamber to warm towels. No more standing in front of boiling water or opening your dishwasher for a little steam. You'll get TONS of use out of this awesome little device. You'll also get a set of five stainless steel extraction review: "I love my steamer. The steam gets a little too hot, but it does the job. I especially love the tools, so now I don't have to pay an aesthetician to get the junk out of my pores. And I love steaming my hair with it too. I'm very happy with my purchase." —KelliPrice: $39.95 (available in three colors) A bottle of YSL Black Opium perfume to treat yourself to, because nothing says personal care like the sweet smell of this beloved fragrance. With hints of coffee, pink pepper, orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla, patchouli, and cedar, everyone will be dying to sniff ya. Promising review: "I honestly did not want to buy a perfume online. I was definitely scared to, but I am so happy that I did! It is now my most favorite perfume scent ever! And I got it for so cheap compared to the other places I've seen this scent. I will 1,000% be buying this again, I am so happy to finally have found a scent that I love!" —KaitlynPrice: $40 (originally $140) A Bubble Skincare tone and texture serum that'll help brighten and smooth your skin, reduce sun damage, hydrate, calm irritation, and improve your skin barrier with the help of vitamin C and niacinamide. Your skin will be glowy and radiant in no time. Promising review: "I have combination, acne-prone, sensitive skin. Nothing has ever helped me.

I use a gentle cleanser, then apply the serum, and top it off with CeraVe moisturizer." —PoojaPrice: $13.48 (originally $18) A teeth whitening kit designed with sensitive teeth in mind.

I am blown away at how well this worked, and FAST! I experienced zero pain or sensitivity — nothing at all. It was clean, mess-free, had no harsh taste, and it worked. I swear I saw a difference in just my first use. Popped it in and went about my day for a few quick minutes to come back to a whiter smile. WOW!" —Kimberly"I honestly couldn't be more pleased with the results. As a coffee lover (lol), I have always been self-conscious about the discoloration of my teeth, but this kit helped me regain my smile, which is way whiter. Glad I found the brand." —WillPrice: $28.99 (originally $59) A ceramic hot comb, but not the one like your momma used on you every Easter as a kid. You don't have to put this bad boy on the stove (thank goodness — those things got hotter than Michael B. Jordan). Simply plug it in, choose from the 10 adjustable heat settings, and perfect your style. It also has an automatic shut-off feature so after an hour of being inactive, it'll turn review: "Y'all, please don't walk, RUN!! It's affordable and gets the job done! It has different temperature settings, and whichever one you pick, the LED display counts up to the number, and you'll know when it's ready!! The highest is 450, and I use 450 every time. It might take like 60-65 seconds to get there, but when it gets there, it gets there! Please buy it, you won't regret it." —DaDonnPrice: $23.47 A rechargeable mini gel polish UV/LED lamp with six powerful settings to dry your at-home gel mani quickly and efficiently. Promising review: "Works like a more expensive one. Love that you can put it away easily for storage. Love that there's a 30-second timer on the light as well.

I put some on my wife, and it really got her going fast. It does last a long time, my wife didn't want to stop, so it was a very long night." —jenniferPrice: $19.95 (available in two styles) And a deep throat spray to help make your gag reflex chill out and reduce discomfort.

More states report illnesses, hospitalizations in salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers
Salmonella illnesses linked to cucumbers continue to increase, with additional cases and hospitalizations reported in more states – and another major retailer, Target has issued its own recall. The initial recall of cucumbers grown by Florida-based Bedner Growers and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales linked the produce to a salmonella outbreak across 15 states. The Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on May 19 that 26 people had gotten ill and nine were hospitalized. Health officials have now increased the number of illnesses reported to 45 in 18 states – Georgia, Indiana and Massachusetts are the latest states with cases – with hospitalizations due to salmonella poisoning up from nine to 16, according to the FDA and CDC. Tough cookie: Oreo maker sues Aldi over alleged copycat cookie packaging Eight people told health officials they had taken a cruise before becoming sick, according to the CDC. The passengers were aboard six different ships, all of which departed from Florida between March 30 and April 12 – three people were on the same ship, the agency said. No deaths have been reported in the salmonella outbreak, the CDC says. The initial voluntary recall involved cucumbers sold directly to consumers at Bednar's Farm Fresh Market. Subsequently, additional recalls have been announced by grocers such as Harris Teeter, Kroger and Walmart that repackaged whole cucumbers for sale or used them in ready-to-eat products such as vegetable trays and salads. Target issued a recall for products purchased May 7 to May 21, the FDA said in its May 30 update. Those products included individual cucumbers, cucumber two-packs, and prepared foods such as Good & Gather Lemon Pepper Greek-Style Chicken Salad, Mai Spicy Salmon Rice Bowl with White Rice, and Mai California Roll with White Rice. The complete list of more than 40 recalled products with cucumbers is available on Target's product recall page. Target was also among retailers recalling Hormel Foods' Dinty Moore Beef Stew because the product may contain fragments of "foreign material," specifically wood. USA TODAY Recall Database: Search vehicle, product and food recalls The recalled cucumbers should no longer be on store shelves, health officials said. The CDC and FDA advises anyone with cucumbers at home to throw them away if they're unsure where they're from. Wash any surfaces and items that may have touched the cucumbers. Bedner Growers was also linked to a salmonella outbreak involving cucumbers last year that sickened 551 people and hospitalized 155 across 34 states and the District of Columbia, according to the CDC. Investigators found untreated canal water carrying the bacteria used by Bedner Growers, the CDC said. While Bedner Growers and Thomas Produce Company of Boca Raton, Florida, were the likely sources of the outbreak, the CDC said, the companies did not account for all the outbreak's illnesses. Each year, salmonella causes about 1.35 million illnesses, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths in the U.S., according to the CDC and FDA. Symptoms of salmonella infection – including diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps – usually arise six hours to six days after exposure and may last 4 to 7 days. Severe infections can also include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, and blood in the urine or stool. As of May 30, the salmonella outbreak linked to cucumbers has sickened 45 people in the following 18 states: Alabama California Colorado Florida Georgia Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Massachusetts Michigan North Carolina New York Ohio Pennsylvania South Carolina Tennessee Virginia Contributing: Gabe Hauari and Mary Walrath-Holdridge.

This container has a stay-fresh vent and a reservoir base for water, so you can customize the best environment for the food you're storing.

It saves me over $100 each month." —C Austin"Mmmm, tasty clean water! I love my Brita. It's much lighter than I thought it would be, which makes it easy to clean. And its sleek design allows it to fit nicely in my fridge. Not that there's much in there anyway." —DinaPrice: $52.99 An E.l.f. night oil made with blueberry extract so you can get a blue-ty-ful night's sleep and awaken to nourished skin with an enhanced glow.

A daily cooktop cleaner perfect if you're looking for a product that'll give you a streak-free clean so you can keep your stove top as pretty as the day you moved in. Promising reviews: "This actually doesn't leave streaks. I was so stubborn all these years, refusing to pay more to purchase a 'special cleaner' to clean just a single appliance in my home. But after trying everything else, I finally caved and bought this. And finally, my glass cook top is actually clean! It was so easy, too — minimal elbow grease. Wish I had tried this stuff sooner." —First Last"I've never had an electric oven until two months ago, so I had no idea you needed to clean it differently. Thankfully, I asked. Found this and it works heavenly. No wretched smell and very effective for a novice electric stovetop user." —SuzannePrice: $5.49 A *Handy Brush* from Scotch-Brite whose usefulness is listed in the title.

In fact, one reviewer leaves one in every room of the house for that very reason. Promising reviews: "This is my third or fourth one! I tried buying a different brand when I was at a different store, and I hated it. This is perfect! I love that I can throw it in the dishwasher with each load to sanitize it, so I know it's always clean. I highly recommend this for scrubbing your dishes, etc." —TyTen"You need several! We keep one in the kitchen sink to clean it, one in the shower for quick clean-ups while in the shower, one for scrubbing fruits/veggies/potatoes, and another outside to clean the chickens' waterers. I'll be buying more so I can keep one in each bathroom to clean out sinks." —decor8ingjunkePrice: $2.99 A sleek tower fan with a stunning 4.9-star ⭐ rating ⭐ because reviewers agree it is a stellar fan if you're trying to stay cool when things get warmer. Its slim design allows for it to take up little to no room. It has six speeds and four modes, including a sleep mode. You can also connect it to your smart device and control it with voice assistance. Promising reviews: "This fan was absolutely WONDERFUL!!! When I say it was a lifesaver, I am not exaggerating! My home AC has a leak that took two weeks to fix, and this fan truly saved me! Even after the AC issue was fixed, I still use it in the evenings on the lowest speed for the comfort and low sound. It wasn't hard to put together either. You just snap the two halves that make up the disc base and set the tower unit in the base, and voila!" —MadyMom"The best purchase I have ever made in my life, without a doubt! After living for a month without AC, this fan was my salvation from melting. It's quiet, super powerful, and somehow the air that blows out is not the same hot air that surrounds you, which I think is wonderful. It's lightweight and looks beautiful wherever you put it because it takes up almost no space." —MJPrice: $89.99 A TheraIce migraine relief cap to help anyone who often gets headaches and migraines.

If you suffer from headaches or migraines, this is definitely worth trying!" —easy and inexpensivePrice: $25.49 (originally $29.99) A Byoma brightening body wash that reviewers note is super moisturizing and leaves their skin feeling hydrated and smelling absolutely AMAZING. Promising review: "WOW! It has only been a few washes, but I already see a difference in my skin! This wash is soft, luxurious, slightly exfoliating, and the smell!! Maybe it's just me, but it reminds me of old-school Hollister perfume in a gentle way! Love it! Will continue to buy and you should, too!" —garden ladyPrice: $12.99 An aluminum-free honey and cactus flower deodorant from Wild, complete with a ~bee-utiful~ container that you can refill when you're done. Promising reviews: "Great deodorant! I have tried several brands for an aluminum-free deodorant. This works the best!

The scent lasts so long and it gives off perfume vibes rather than deodorant." —L BaileyPrice: $16.99Find other scents and refills here. A spackling kit to save you 1) time looking for a local wall repairer and 2) money so you won't have to pay someone to repair the wall. No, it won't patch up a wall if the Incredible Hulk comes crashing through, but minor holes and scratches don't stand a chance. Promising review: "This stuff is awesome! A little goes a long way and I love how it turns white when it's dry. The color makes it easier to apply to ensure you don't miss a spot. I didn't need to sand after using it on drywall and even used it to fill in scratches on a windowsill from my cat. It's also very easy to clean up if you drop some or get it on fabric. It did shrink a hair, but I think it's because I did way too thin of a coat (like 1/32-inch). If you have something that literally takes paint off the wall like gorilla tape, this product fills in the holes very nicely. I did holes up to 2 inches across and down to the brown paper of drywall and it worked great. It also comes off your skin very easily with warm water and soap. This also stays good a while after you have been opening and closing the lid." —MVPrice: $5.47 A 12-piece knife set reviewers say are not only incredibly sharp but also visually appealing. It's a great way to mix color and practicality into your cooking space. Promising reviews: "These are perfect! I just moved and ended up stopping by Target and saw these. Fair warning, they are SUPER SHARP. Be careful when washing them😅, learned the hard way with the purple one and I barely touched it" —MommaOf2"Great addition to any kitchen. No matter your level of cooking, these are amazing; they do the hard work for you (very sharp), and wash well by hand. Love these to use daily when I don't want to use my high-end knives because they work just as good. Love the color and the protective covers!" —CTargetloverPrice: $29.99 A Ninja Crispi — my personal kitchen helper that's helped me cook at home more and more. How can you not cook at home when this nifty and compact device makes it so easy? It has four settings that allow you to make small or family-sized meals. It comes with a handy booklet with recipes and guides on settings for your favorite meals (it even has one for frozen hashbrowns, my personal fave). And when you're done cooking, the glass cooking dish is also your storage container *with* a lid. Promising reviews: "I don't have a ton of counter space, so the Ninja Crispi is perfect. It makes food nice and crispy without heating up the whole house the way an oven does. I highly recommend this for anyone who doesn't have the room for a full-sized air fryer." —Zap Rowsdower"100% the best air fryer today. I love that the container is clear and that I can use it immediately or store it in the fridge. Super simple and straightforward to use." —Target CustomerPrice: $179.99 (available in three colors) An ultra-light Shark corded stick vacuum that's here to make cleaning day feel less like arm day at the gym. Reviewers note that the vacuum's light weight makes moving from room to room so much easier. Promising review: "I have a condo, and this will work great for my space. I love the long cord and the swivel head to get under furniture. I had a heavy upright and a small Dustbuster-style, and I replaced both of them with this. I have carpet as well as uncarpeted areas, and it works great. It's very lightweight and takes up less space than the upright." —MinnesotaPrice: $99.99 (originally $199.99) Some Command mop and broom grippers because during this season, you need your brooms and mops nearby to keep things as dust-free as possible. Like most Command products, these neat-o grippers adhere to most walls and surfaces quickly and easily; then, once they're up, you can snap your brooms, mops, and other cleaning supplies right into them, keeping them both tidy and ready to go whenever you need even pull off of the wall again if you decide you don't need them anymore — without leaving any damage behind. Convenience, thy name is review: 'Highly recommend! These grippers are awesome. I use them to hold brooms, mops, Swiffer, and standing dustpan, among other things. They have a really strong grip, so they hold things sturdy and don't drop them. Keeps your tedious cleaning tools up and out of the way, clearing floor space and corner space. They don't fall off of the wall. Easy to pull things out from them when ready to use. These grippers are a must-have!' —Target reviewerPrice: $14.99 for a set of two grippers A makeup primer from E.l.f. that will grab onto your makeup and not let go until you wash it off at the end of the day. This primer is similar to the beloved original Power Grip formula but with the added ingredient of niacinamide to brighten and even out skin tone. Promising reviews: "So affordable, and the grip is amazing! I have dry skin, and this is a game-changer. I love it underneath my tinted sunscreen. I'm in my 40s, and it doesn't sink into wrinkles. I love it!" —Kj"This product is awesome! It's the best primer I have used for helping keep makeup in place in challenging environments — hot, humid, and sweaty!

Promising reviews: "My eyes are always puffy with dark circles. I have tried every under-eye product, and none of them work as well as this one does. It is amazing. Honestly amazing, and for less than $5. Try it, it is more than worth it!" —Christina"Great primer stick, great for my morning routine. It works strides better than I imagined it would for $5, and results rival my favorite high-end eye cream. It's more like a serum stick to me; because of that, it absorbs super well and does not pill!! It leaves my skin bright, and hydrated with a matte finish after it absorbs. It's easy to apply and can be taken on the go because it's a roll-on. It feels cool and minty on the skin if you like that sort of thing, 10/10!" —PotatoGirly123Price: $4.99 A pack of seamless boy shorts that will stand up through the heat of summer. Reviewers say that not only are they super soft, but they also don't roll down and they're actually seamless: legging approved. Promising reviews: "Super soft material! Actually seamless, I was able to wear them with leggings and you really can't see the lines!!! Sizing is also great, full boyfriend fit coverage!!" —Chey"I bought these to take on my trip to Europe. I absolutely love them — they fit perfectly, there's no riding up, super comfortable to wear all day in the heat.

It makes my skin soooo glowy. Not heavy either. I got the medium shade." —Abbymapes"I absolutely LOVE this lotion! It blends in so well with my skin tone. I put it on underneath my foundation and lemme tell ya, it looks so so pretty. I've not had an issue with it causing breakouts for me or causing my foundation to move/get patchy.

I really hope they never stop selling this because for the price, it's fantastic." —MariahPrice: $13.99 (available in five shades) A flying-insect trap that'll lure and trap flies, fruit flies, moths, mosquitoes, and gnats.

Love this product, just love it!!" —DeeDee"LOVE THIS! I sometimes leave my sliding glass window open and realize a ton of fruit flies and other bugs sneak in. They typically hang out around the sink. I plugged in the light and had zero expectations…thinking to myself, this may catch one or knows. Pleasantly surprised! I'm buying more." —FloridiangirlPrice: $14.99 A power spin scrubber with an adjustable extension handle and a variety of heads that'll work hard to wipe the dirt out of every crevice in your home. It puts in the work with minimal strain on your back and neck. Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this thing. I've seen it on Pinterest and IG and didn't think it would be worth all the hype. Let me tell you — it is. I have horrible shower stains that I could not get rid of no matter what I did, and this got rid of them in minutes. I forgot to take a before photo, but my shower floor and the corners were tinted orange. This took care of it. So worth it!" —EeckPrice: $49.99 A box of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club clean towels — disposable towels that are ultra-soft and chemical-free.

They will be an immediate buy again in the future!" —MidwestGal"I'm not usually one for single-use products, but if you suffer from acne, these have been a game changer.
