1. A bottle organizer for providing a nice little area to keep you and your fam's water bottles when they're not being used.
YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that sells kitchen storage products!
Promising review: "This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — RT17
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available with two or three shelves).
2. A divided drawer organizer because it shouldn't take having to go on a dresser scavenger hunt just to find your favorite fuzzy socks.
www.amazon.com
It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different size garments.
Promising review:"I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights, and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fi,t but finally, I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I'm in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks, tights, or undies, each well can fit more than one on top of the other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau, which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge, you'll be super glad you did!" — Chrissquasi
Get it from Amazon for $13.87 (available in seven colors).
3. An over-the-door cabinet organizer to give your hair-styling tools their own tidy little storage spot that's not the same drawer where you keep your toothpaste and dental floss.
Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before, all my items were in a drawer, and the cords were a pain, but this metal baske t minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and also looked nice. It fits two of my blow dryers, a flat iron, and a curling wand. The bars are adjustable, as well (just use the twisties it came with to secure them in place). Worth the buy!" — Alyssa Jewell
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
4. A set of Shoe Slotz space saving units that'll take your collection of shoes from an overwhelming messy pile of who knows what to basically resembling the aisles of a DSW. You'll *gasp* actually be able to see your shoes.
Promising review: "These things are genius. I had my closet redone and asked for the back wall to have cubbies so I can easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I have or overestimated the space that was in the closet and I couldn't display them all. I bought a few packs of these and now I have extra space. I guess I'll have to go out and buy more shoes now!" — Hercules
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in packs of 20 and 40).
5. Adhesive bathroom shelves because placing all of your products in the itty bitty corners of the tub or on the shower floor just isn't cutting it anymore! They look messy, they get knocked over, and it's just NOT efficient. Please, do yourself a favor and get these.
Promising review:"I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they've stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I'm so impressed! I'm sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install. They look beautiful and modern and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It's so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" — Sara B
Get a set of two caddies from Amazon for $30.49+ (available in four finishes and an option with a soap holder).
6. Or a shower liner with pockets to hold onto your hygiene products. This is especially great for those who don't have any sort of shelving in their showers to place things like shampoo and razors.
www.amazon.com
It can be used as a shower curtain (facing out) or a shower liner (facing in).
Promising review:"The most ideal organizer for your bathroom shower! No clutter and spacious enough pockets, no brainer, get it if you like everything to be visible and organized." — Daniela
Get it from Amazon for $14.10+ (available in two colors).
7. A hanger stacker so you can keep unused hangers in one organized spot. When you DO need a hanger, you won't have to spend a million and one minutes untangling them.
Promising review:"Great functionality. I gather hangers as I gather dirty clothes. This stacker lives in my laundry room between the washer and dryer. It keeps my plastic hangers under control, and I no longer suffer 'clothes hanger rage' from them getting tangled and not cooperating with me." — msw
Get it from Amazon for $30.42.
8. A spice rack drawer organizer to make looking for your favorite seasonings super simple. Plus, this is an easy way to prevent messy clutter.
This is also made by YouCopia!
Promising review:"This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! They are so customizable and allow you to cut them and shape them to any drawer size. I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for sure buy!" — momonono
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
9. A portable board game organizer you need if your collection of games looks more like a piled-up cardboard eyesore than an enticing selection of family fun activities. These cases can latch together for compact organization and also feature handles, perfect for easily bringing a game on the go!
Promising review: "We loved these containers and have now bought 20 to hold our entire game closet! We have been able to fit several games in some. Easy to store and easy for my kids to find and then put away when finished. Good quality, haven't had any problems with durability yet, and we play a LOT of games." — bradfieldfamily
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $54.99 (also available in a pack of six thick containers).
10. A wall-mounted organizer ideal for holding cleaning supplies like brooms and mops or in your garage/shed to store things such as gardening tools.
www.amazon.com
Berry Ave is a small biz that sells organizational products.
Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to the wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn
Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in three different pack sizes and four colors).
11. A cutlery drawer organizer to help consolidate all of your forks, knives, and spoons into one fabulous little space-saving tool.
Promising review:"I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it's just as handy and useful." — Magpie
Get it from Amazon for $8.89.
12. A set of under-bed storage bags because if you're lucky enough to have a bed with enough space underneath it to store things away, it's a crime if you let it go to waste. THAT'S PRECIOUS REAL ESTATE, PEOPLE!!! IT'S BEGGING TO HOLD ONTO THE SUMMER CLOTHES YOU SO DESPERATELY NEED TO CLEAR AWAY SO YOU HAVE ROOM FOR FALL/WINTER OUTFITS!
www.amazon.com
You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, shoes...basically whatever you have too much of.
Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn
Get two bags from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in five styles and packs of four).
13. Or a pack of vacuum bags to store clothing items you're not planning on wearing in a given season so there's less clutter in your closet! These don't create the same amount of bulk that other storage bags would, so they're good to store under your bed!
These bags are made with antimicrobial materials, so you don't have to worry about mold, mildew, or bacteria building up. Plus, they come with a free travel pump! Check out my colleague's Spacesaver vacuum storage bags review for more details!
Promising review:"I have a small house, so room is at a premium. Seasonal clothing and bedding have always been a chore. While downsizing and consolidating big comforters and heavy clothing, I researched these and thought they seemed to be of better quality than some others I viewed. I was NOT disappointed. They worked great and freed up a ton of room in my small closets — no more quilts falling down every time you open the door. Great quality and price. Highly recommend." — Arlene B. Grace
Get a six-pack of various sizes from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in other sizes).
14. A wall-mounted yoga mat holder because does anyone really know exactly where in their home is a good spot to keep those mats? They're not bulky or taking up too much space, but they're also kinda flimsy little eyesores sitting in the corner of the room. Now you have a great spot to put them! Plus, you can use the hooks at the bottom for other types of fitness equipment, like resistance bands!
Promising review:"I love this product! It feels so much better to keep my yoga mats up off the floor when not in use. It's also been great to have a single place to keep all of my exercise equipment organized in one place. I have four mats, a yoga block, resistance bands, and mini resistance bands on mine, and it feels sturdy and looks great!" — dorothy m. haber
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors and a pack of two).
15. A folding trunk organizer if you've ever had to apologize to your friends and family about how messy your car is before driving them somewhere. You can use this handy thing to hold onto snacks, beverages, chargers, car essentials, cleaning supplies, and anything else you might need!
Amazon
Promising review:"It was just what I needed for my messy and unorganized truck! I wanted something not too bulky, but just the right size to help me reorganize my trunk. This product did that for me. I was also concerned that it'd move when I drove but luckily there is Velcro on the bottom that secures it in place while you drive, and sure enough, it did just that! This product does not take up a lot of space and gives you the right amount of measure to place other things like groceries and a suitcase. I am completely satisfied and content with this product! I wish I had it all along!" — Neese
Get it from Amazon for $14.50.
16. And a pair of backseat car organizers that'll be especially useful if your vehicle's backseat doubles as a spot for the kiddos to do homework, eat dinner, take naps, etc. as you drive them between school, extracurriculars, and play dates. What a great way to store necessities without cluttering the floors or the middle seat!
Amazon
Promising review:"Fits well and covers the back of the seats nicely! My boys can't muck up the back of my seats, and my van is more organized now that they have a specific space for their toys, electronics, snacks, and sports equipment!" — Yuji Jr.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
17. A set of drawer trays for keeping the contents of your desk, dresser, and even your token junk drawer more orderly.
www.amazon.com
The six-piece set comes with (2) 3"x3" bins, (2) 6"x3" bins, and (2) 9"x3" bins.
Promising review:"Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I've got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them, so they're not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching." — Sparkyj
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $12.99.
18. A makeup organizer that'll make for a great spot to store your cosmetics, skincare products, brushes, sponges, and more. Now, you won't have to dig through a messy makeup pouch just to find the lipstick color you want.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan is a fan of this makeup organizer. She says:
" This nifty little organizer looks beautiful, can fit ALL of my everyday makeup, and (drumroll please) it keeps clutter at bay in my bathroom — which is extremely tiny, BTW. I can fit so 👏 damn 👏 much 👏 inside of this four-drawer thing. Here are all the products that I currently have in there: 32 lipsticks, six blushes and bronzers, two large highlighter sticks, one foundation bottle, three concealers, two contouring sticks, two rollerball perfumes, two primers, and the bottom drawer contains so many lip pencils, eyeliners, and eyeshadow sticks that I actually didn't even bother counting (but I'm going to guess AT LEAST 30 of them, I swear).* If you have A TON OF MAKEUP (which I do), then you may still have to store some extra stuff in your bags — but either way, this container holds SO much. But the real winner winner chicken dinner here? I have easy access to all the makeup I use every single day and can see all of it at once. I don't have to dig around the bottomless pit that is one of my many, many makeup bags anymore — I just have to open and close a drawer."

Get it from Amazon for $17.50 (available in two colors).
19. A battery organizer because scattered throughout a junk drawer is not a good storage spot for batteries, FYI. Now they'll be tidy, and you'll be able to easily take inventory of which ones you actually have.
www.amazon.com
This *safely* holds 82 batteries of various sizes. You can store it in a drawer or mount it on a wall!
Promising review:"Something so simple saved me an entire drawer's worth of space! We had a battery drawer in the den desk, but it was a mess! Opened battery packages, half of which had new batteries, other batteries floating around loose in the drawer all willy-nilly, all different sizes and brands mixed together. It was an eyesore and a pain every time I had to look for batteries. Now, thanks to this little helper, our batteries are organized and easy to find and grab right inside the basement stairs doorway. The wattage tester is super helpful, and I was able to toss out half of the batteries we'd had that were dead or nearly dead from being old or accidentally put back with the new batts instead of into recycling. It feels a little thin and flimsy, but it just holds the batteries; you don't move or bend it, so it's moot. So glad I bought this; it's fantastic!!" — Amanda S. Michniewicz
Get it from Amazon for $18.97.
20. A desktop organizer to finally give all of the items on your desk, like books, folders, writing utensils, decorative pieces, and more, a tidy storage spot. Plus, this is a piece of decor in its own right so it'll make your work space really pop.
Promising review:" I have gone through many different desk organizers trying to find the right one, and this is it. It is sturdy, adjustable, and stylish. I read that many people were disappointed by the fact that there were no covers for the screws, but I purchased the light wood tone, and I think the screws add to the aesthetic. It looks great, and I love it. I would recommend this product to anyone who asked!" — Julia Harrison
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors).
21. An under sink organizer featuring a sliding basket that'll make whatever clutter you have going on down there a lot easier to deal with. Need a sponge and cleaning spray? No problem! Easy peasy! Right there!
Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings and they hold true." — Brad J. Leahy
Get it from Amazon for $25.87+ (available in two colors).
22. A container lid organizer because you've wasted far too much time trying to find the right lid to fit whichever container you're using — been there, done that, now let's leave that in the past.
www.amazon.com
This is also made by YouCopia! The dividers are adjustable so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have.
Promising review:"I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." — Laura
Get it from Amazon for $17.77+ (available in four sizes).
23. A magnetic cloud key holder for anyone who's ever gone on a panicked, frantic search for their keys while in a rush to make it to an appointment. It's like your keys know you need to be somewhere, and they're trying to play hide-and-seek with you. Sorry, keys — you lose!
Promising review:"So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far, I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys, and so far, it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." — D. Carter
Get it from Amazon for $7.78.
24. A pack of two hat racks because for some reason beyond understanding it is always SO unnecessarily difficult to find a proper storage spot for baseball caps!!! Drawer space is limited, storage bins are clunky, and shelf space is full! You can use these for more than just hats though. Purses and umbrellas can also be neatly hung/organized on these babies.
Promising review: "I purchased these because my husband and I have a lot of ball caps. These worked really well for us. They came with two different installation options: something you could screw into the wall and an adhesive. We went for the adhesive option. We installed two in our closet. Easy to stack hats on top so they are out of the way and organized." — Erin F.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors and larger pack sizes).
25. A bakeware/pan rack that'll make going to grab the cookie sheet, muffin tin, frying pan (or whatever else it is you may need) a lot less hectic than having to go through the pile and lift up every item until you get the right one. Plus, reviewers say putting their pans on this rack prevents scratches from stacking pans on top of each other, as well as preventing scratches on their cabinets!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is also made by YouCopia!
Promising review:"I like how easy it is to put together, and that the separation pieces are adjustable. You customize it for your own storage needs! The separators are fairly easy to move and extremely sturdy. No more pans falling over!" — Marilee Housden
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
26. A set of sheet keepers to well...keep sheet sets and sheets of the same sizes bundled up nicely together. Not to mention, thanks to the labels stating the sizes, you won't have to fumble around with three different sheets of the same color just to find which one goes on your bed versus your kiddo's bed.
Sheet Keeper is a woman-owned small business based in Los Angeles.
Promising review:"Great product. They came quickly, and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!" — devonhansen1
Get two from Sheet Keeper on Etsy for $10.99+ (available in six sizes).
27. A wooden blanket ladder that'll finally give you a nice spot to put all those throw blankets you have draped over your couch (which, contrary to what you might think, is not a decorative statement).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I really like the thick wood, it feels like it's high quality and makes the ladder very sturdy. The rungs are also tilted, which I love. It makes sliding blankets on and off easy and without snagging. The rustic finish really goes well with my farmhouse decor. I'm currently keeping it in my living room nestled on my new decorative wall and it really adds to the charm! Assembly was pretty easy and only took a few minutes. All the holes were predrilled and the rungs had metal threaded bores for the screws so they went in very easily. The tops and bottoms all have padding so it should prevent my wall and floor from getting scratches. All in all very happy with the purchase and might buy another as a gift!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $56.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
28. A 24-pocket clear over-the-door organizer to store your shoes, jewelry, accessories, or cleaning supplies!
www.amazon.com
Has 24 clear pockets and easily hangs onto most standard doors or closet rods without any additional hardware needed!
Promising review:"Prior to making this purchase, my family would toss their shoes in an empty diaper box that immediately invaded the entryway space. It was chaos, but this product has provided a place that is close to the front door and out of the walkway. Plus, I enjoy having the ability to neatly organize all of our shoes." — Cayja Vu
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in five colors and two sizes).
29. A gorgeous cactus jewelry holder because necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings deserve their own glamorous area to shine. ✨
Amazon
Promising reviews:"This is a sturdy jewelry display. It was easy to assemble and looked just like the picture once put together. The finish is smooth with a quality paint job. The base is sturdy and didn't wiggle once secured. The height and width make it an easy fit for your nightstand or dresser, and the cactus shape is fun and well-formed." — Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
30. A nail polish organizer that'll help you keep track of your pretty polishes. Listen, owning as many polish colors as your local salon is a brag-worthy achievement. But what good does it do if you can't locate your favorite bottle of Essie "Ballet Slippers" and have to settle for *gasp* a different shade of pink?!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is better than advertised. All my bottles fit perfectly in the standard-size boxes. My Julep colors fit two in a compartment! The first row has adjustable dividers, you can use them to keep odd-shaped bottles or do what I do: use one side for my nail stamper, dotting tools, and drying drops and the other for foam wedges and nail pens. It looks way neater easily tucked under my vanity instead of the baskets and baskets of polishes I had to hunt through!" — Clouds
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and three sizes).
31. A honeycomb toilet paper holder because not only does keeping those rolls mounted against the wall make it easy to replenish when your current roll is finished, but they'll look so cool in this thing! A lot cooler than they do in plastic wrapping or stacked into little towers behind your porcelain throne!
Ewart Woods / Etsy
Ewart Woods is a small business based in Latvia that creates handmade organization and storage solutions that blend into your home decor.
Promising review:"Really simple but effective. Would recommend for small bathrooms in need of storage. Like a piece of art. Thanks again!" — Noelle
Get it from Ewart Woods on Etsy for $78.33+ (available in four colors and two sizes).

Aussies stunned to realise common food 'isn't normal' anywhere else in the world
When you're in a hurry and feeling peckish, grabbing some sushi is often the quickest way to satisfy your hunger while still eating something healthy. With most shopping centres, train stations and main streets equipped with a takeaway sushi restaurant, the Japanese delicacy has become the meal of choice for everyone from fussy toddlers to busy office workers. Aside from being delicious, sushi is also a great to-go option thanks to the fact that you can eat it almost anywhere (and with just one hand) thanks to the way the rolls are made. But while we Aussies are no strangers to single, long rolls of seaweed wrapped goodness, a viral video has highlighted that the way we do sushi down under is not the norm. Dietician En Min Saw recently took to TikTok to poke fun at herself for starting to think that "Australian sushi" was the rule, instead of the exception. "How did I forget this wasn't normal?" Min quips in the clip, which has now been viewed more than 3 million times. "After living here for two years, I see it every day and honestly never thought twice about it," Min tells Yahoo Lifestyle of Aussie sushi rolls. "But it recently hit me that this type of sushi isn't really common anywhere else in the world. RELATED: Expat reveals unique issue Americans face in Coles and Woolworths: 'How dare you' American expat reveals most 'confusing' part of moving to Australia: 'Isn't as natural here' Well-known Aussie phrase leaves expat floored: 'What do you mean?' She adds, "I had a feeling the video would gain some traction, because it was such a perspective-shifting realisation for me — I figured others would resonate with it too. But I didn't expect it to blow up as much as it did, reaching over 3 million views (so far!). My favourite comments are people asking what 'normal' sushi looks like and the really wholesome messages from people who say it's such a genius, convenient idea. I love it!" Indeed, Min's video was positively flooded with comments from confused Aussies who had never realised (until now) that it's not at all common for sushi to be served as one long roll. "I thought this was normal. 😂 this is just sushi," one comment reads. "I've lived in Aus all my life and I thought this is normal sushi," says another. "As an Australian, HOW IS IT MEANT TO LOOK?!," one person begged. "I'm from Asia and I just moved to Australia, I am confused as hell when I first saw that, but it's very convenient and perfect if you need a grab-to-go meal," yet another person added. For anyone wondering how people manage to eat sushi on the go in other parts of the world, Min says, "I've heard that in the UK and US, sushi rolls are also sold as convenient to-go options, though they're not quite as common as they are here in Australia. "In Japan, while hand rolls (like cones or cylinders) are served, they're typically enjoyed fresh at the restaurant rather than as takeaway. Instead, Japan's common grab-and-go sushi alternative is usually onigiri — rice balls wrapped in seaweed." Another feature of Min's comment section was that people were eager for everyone to know that their country also makes sushi in ways that would make our heads spin. "You should look up Chilean sushi," one of Min's followers said. "We have sushi burgers…" "I mean... in Brazil we got FRIED sushi," someone else shared. "Can I just say, I love when people comment with 'You think that's not normal? Check out MY country!' — I think it's absolutely hilarious," Min tells us. "Brazilian sushi in particular caught my attention; one of the comments mentioned they make sushi in the shape of a hot dog or pizza, and with lots of cream cheese, which honestly sounds so wild." Reflecting on why "Australian sushi" is so popular - to the point that many of us consider it to be the "norm" Min says, "I think a huge selling point is that it's made to suit Aussie tastes, with all kinds of fillings - although stuffing your sushi with chicken and avocado may very likely be a crime in Japan! Plus, it's a convenient, budget-friendly option when you want something quick and tasty."

But I think as long as it's done with respect and appreciation for the original culture, putting your own spin on it is part of how food evolves and brings people together. Making that video was such a fun experience — there were so many layers to explore and stories to uncover behind it."

This Kopari setting spray with SPF is my secret for glowy, protected skin
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Sunscreen has always had an image problem. Historically sticky, ghostly and as sensorially appealing as dish soap, it's rarely been the darling of anyone's top shelf. But that was before Kopari Beauty decided to reimagine SPF — not as a utilitarian chore, but as a shimmering, skin-loving, makeup-locking luxury. Enter: Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist SPF 50, a product where skincare, sunscreen and setting spray collide (in the best way). At its heart, Sunglaze is sunscreen, yes, but that's like calling a supermodel 'tall.' It's also a setting spray, a radiance booster and a midday refresh ritual disguised as sun protection. The formula is a dream team of heavy hitters: hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid for hydration; vitamin C and vitamin E for antioxidant armor; and a dusting of responsibly sourced mica to achieve that highly sought-after 'glass skin' finish without edging into disco ball territory. As soon as I saw everyone on TikTok raving about the product, I knew I had to try it. SPF that I can reapply without impacting my makeup? Yes, please. Not to mention, my wedding makeup artist was raving about this setting spray as a knockout product for brides to don on their wedding day. While dermatologists recommend wearing SPF daily, some makeup artists recommend avoiding it if you can on your wedding day to avoid a flashback in photos. But, with this setting spray containing SPF 50? You'll be protected and glowy all day. And then, an Ulta Beauty employee recommended the new Kopari setting spray to a client at my local store, so that's when I thought, 'That's it — I have to review it next.' Amazon Pros: Contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin Contains SPF 50 to act as your new favorite sunscreen, especially over makeup Lightweight, cooling and refreshing Cons: Higher price point Fragrance may be too strong for highly reactive skin, but not a dealbreaker Fine mists are notoriously hard to get right; some are too aggressive, leaving you drenched. Others are too soft and leave you spritzing into the void. But the Sunglaze delivers a veil so microfine, it borders on meditative. Simply shake, close your eyes, mist and prepare for a moment of pure, glowy transcendence. The fragrance, which is a bright blend of citrus and mint, is more 'poolside Aperol spritz' than 'drugstore SPF.' Better yet, it plays well with makeup. There's no pilling, caking or melting. There's only a post-facial glow that looks intentional and definitely not oily. Think of it as insurance for your face, dressed up in a resort-chic bottle. About the Product As mentioned, the Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist SPF 50 has become a viral sensation on TikTok, praised for delivering a radiant 'glass-skin' finish while providing broad-spectrum sun protection. This lightweight, non-greasy mist dries quickly, making it ideal for setting makeup or refreshing your skincare routine throughout the day. It's impressively infused with all of the right ingredients, including hyaluronic acid (a dermatologist's version of the Met Gala, essentially), polyglutamic acid, and vitamins C and E. So, it hydrates and brightens the skin, leaving a dewy, natural glow. The mist also contains ethically sourced mica, which imparts a luminous finish without the use of glitter. The product's formulation includes active sunscreen ingredients such as avobenzone (3%), homosalate (0.5%), octisalate (5%) and octocrylene (10%), offering effective protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. The mist also features a blend of citrus and spearmint oils that contribute to its refreshing, almost cooling scent. Notably, the formula is free from PEGs, silicones, phthalates, sulfates and artificial colorants, so it's a clean beauty lover's heaven-sent wish. My Review Victoria Giardina Let's talk visuals. The millennial-pink bottle with its sunbeam shimmer photographs well and proves that reapplying SPF is a lifestyle choice, not a burden. It's vacation in a bottle, whether you're on the Amalfi Coast or stuck in traffic with the AC on full blast. It also slips seamlessly into the lives of skincare maximalists and makeup lovers alike. As a commerce beauty writer who reappplies over a full face between meetings, it's a lifesaver. For the no-makeup minimalist who wants their skin to beam with dewy health, it's a shortcut to that enviable, 'I woke up like this' luminosity. To use, I shake the bottle well before I apply. With my eyes closed, I hold the spray 8 to 10 inches away from your face and mist generously and evenly. I like to apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, especially after sweating or swimming. Of course, avoid spraying directly into your eyes. This versatile mist can be used over makeup or skincare, making it a convenient option for on-the-go sun protection and a glowing finish. While it's a bit more expensive than your average makeup finisher, it's well worth it for its multi-faceted charm. In terms of staying power, your makeup will stay put the entire day. This is an absolute *blessing* for my combination skin that tends to look flaky or streaky at times. This product is undeniably about glow. It doesn't mattify or blur but enhances, reflects and shines. On most skin types, it's luminous perfection. Note: I have combination skin, and on oilier complexions, it might lean too glossy without a touch of powder. While the mica is finely milled and flattering, I can see how some people may find shimmer unnecessary in a utilitarian product like sunscreen. But maybe that's the point: SPF doesn't need to be so serious anymore. The scent, while refreshing, is a bit too strong but given this product's great affinity for a natural glow, it isn't a dealbreaker in the slightest for me. You should always do a patch test before applying any product, though, especially if you have highly sensitive skin. The bottom line In short, Kopari's Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist SPF 50 is a breath of tropical air. It's fun, effective and unapologetically pretty. It won't replace your beach-day mineral base coat, but it will revolutionize how you reapply SPF, especially when you're already wearing a full face of makeup and running late. For the glow-obsessed, the beauty maximalist or the skincare pragmatist who refuses to look dull, this mist might just be your new favorite summer fling.
