We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
Everyone will be hitting you up for beauty advice instead of their fave TikTok influencer.
1. E.l.f "Squeeze Me" lip balm that pleasantly hydrates your pout for under five bucks — you might just be tempted to lick your lips constantly if you snag the Vanilla Frosting flavor. Dunkaroos fans, beware!
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has a new obsession with this balm: "I love love love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color."
Promising review:"I have one in my car, one in my purse, and one at home. These just feel so good on your lips! The flavors are very true to their name. They are pretty small though, so if you use it often it won't last long (which is another reason I have three of them), but for $4 each it is worth it. I sometimes like using this before putting on the E.l.f. Lip Reviver Oil. Such a great base to an awesome lip oil!" — Jax
Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors).
2. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse a must-buy whether you have curly curls, wonderful waves, or splendidly straight locks — it's designed for all hair types! See ya later, frizz. Hello, hydration and volume!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." — Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
3. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream for anyone who is looking for a fabulous base for their makeup — it blends into skin beautifully removing redness while also acting as a moisturizer. If you apply this before any other skincare/makeup, you can only go up from there!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles).
4. Nyx Pore Filler Targeted Stick, because enough is enough when it comes to your pores ruining the smooth look you've been trying to achieve. It's sensitive skin–approved and helps to reduce unwanted shininess. It also features a precise applicator you'll wish *all* of your skincare products boasted.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Nyx Pore Filler in action.
Promising review: "Love this. It truly covers my pores, and I noticed it covers some of my wrinkles. I apply it right before I apply my foundation. There is no drying time needed. And it makes my skin silky smooth. I'm buying it again as I write this review. Thanks for this product." — Greeneyez
Get it from Amazon for $9.39.
5. Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm, a Korean beauty product you won't ever want to go without again — it's an all-in-one moisturizer for your face, lips, eyes, *and* neck! Who doesn't love a product that does it ALL? It's formulated with salmon complex and collagen (fare thee well fine lines). Reviewers are enamored with how instantly it makes their skin feel hydrated.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" — Kristy
Get it from Amazon for $21.50 (available in five styles).
6. Beekman 1802 Milk Shake Hydrating Toner & Face Mist to reach for throughout the day as a lil' refresher — you have to give it a little *~shake~* to get the magical properties goin' (ahem, the way it minimizes pores and soothes redness).
I've been using the Wicked version (which is sadly now sold out) the last few months and admittedly was first drawn to it because it's pink and green — fun! I was pleasantly surprised at just how incredible the actual product is (magical coloring aside). Like is *this* what's keeping Glinda and Elphaba's skin looking so fab? Anyways, It's packed with Beekman 1802's signature goat milk ingredient as well as a probiotic extract. It smells refreshing (not overpowering) and sinks into my skin nearly immediately. It's been a great "final touch" to both my morning and evening skincare routines.
Promising review:"I'm really loving the Beekman 1802 Milk Shake Hydrating Toner & Face Mist! It's super lightweight and leaves my skin feeling hydrated without any stickiness. The hyaluronic acid and squalane combo is amazing for locking in moisture, and the mist is so refreshing throughout the day. It's become my go-to for a quick skin pick-me-up!" — Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in two sizes).
7. Rhode Pocket Blush that creates a flawless natural flush (but can also be used on lips!) and has such a delightfully creamy feel to it you won't want to tell your pals about it in fear of it selling out.
Rhode
Rhode is owned by Hailey Baldwin Bieber. All of the products are vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and tested/developed by dermatologists.
This on-the-go cream blush has quickly become one of my favorite beauty products. I have the "freckle" shade (a neutral peach) and like how buildable it is. I can use it to very subtly add some color to my cheeks or apply a few more swipes for a more exaggerated look. It doesn't dry out my skin at all and leaves me with a lovely, natural-looking glow. Definitely a fan and will need to try out other shades ASAP!
Get it from Rhode for $24 (available in six shades).
8. Olive & June's seven-free nail polish mani system, a must-have for anyone who doesn't want to commit to the semi-permanency of a gel or powder but would benefit from owning all the tools for the making of a flawless at-home mani.
Olive & June is my go-to nail polish brand! It's a small business co-owned by two incredible women who clearly know what they're doing when it comes to manicures. The polish stays on for over a week, and when you purchase the full kit, you'll also find yourself equipped with tools to pull off a flawless mani. The Mani System comes with a cleanup brush, a polish remover pot, a nail clipper, a nail file, a nail buffer, The Poppy (used to hold bottles more comfortably), a glossy topcoat, a cuticle serum, and one nail polish of your choice. My favorite tool is the little brush, designed to help you clean up your cuticles after inevitably getting polish all over 'em. The fall version also comes with a cute notebook and pen! Treat yourself — you won't be disappointed.
I'm even wearing the polish *right* now! Just snapped a pic (above) of me wearing one of their shades " Candy Dipped."
Get it from Olive & June for $55+ (available with one or six polishes and with or without a ton of add-ons) or check out the individual polishes.
Check out our full review on Olive & June.
9. Ouai Wave Spray to get your hair looking fresh, frizz-free and help you get out the door in 1, 2, 3. It works wonders on wet or dry locks with the least amount of effort necessary so you can save your strength for wrangling your hyper pup at the dog park or sitting through meetings that could've been emails.
I have naturally wavy (but frizzy) hair and after trying many products this is where I've happily landed. Ouai is the first brand I recommend to my fellow wavy-haired ladies. It's light, doesn't leave your locks feeling crunchy, doesn't have an overpowering smell, and keeps hair looking fresh. My only complaint used to be that it didn't come in a massive-sized bottle, but their new formula (that is even BETTER than the first and contains coconut oil and rice protein) comes in both a 3 fl oz bottle *and* a 6 fl oz bottle! Ouai also has a curl cream that I'm a huge fan of — it's lightweight and also does the trick (though the wave spray is still my favorite). In the photo above (right), I literally threw my hair into a half/up situation right out of the shower, gave it a spritz, and moved on with my day.
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes).
10. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream because chances are you've been neglecting these specific skin areas for years — well, now it's their time to shine! This cream is packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and has been crafted to improve skin's elasticity and texture. TL;DR: you're welcome for introducing you to this magical stuff.
Promising review:"I've been using this for five days, and I can't believe how much it's helped with the saggy skin under my chin. I'm 37, and I've been using various products, but nothing was making a difference, and my skin continued to get loose in that area. I came across this, looked at the reviews, and decided to try it, though I honestly wasn't sure it would work for me, considering other things I've tried that haven't helped. I can't even express how much better I feel now. I have no idea how this cream works and actually tightens up the skin, but I'm so grateful. I'm no longer self-conscious about it, and I actually like looking in the mirror now and not seeing the extra skin hanging from the bottom of my chin." — 📚#WHYCHOOSE
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
11. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that has been *all the rage* on TikTok (which is how you know it's good). It's lightweight, has a touch of gloss to it, and the shade will have you saying "mhmmmm, honey!" from the second you apply it.
Amazon
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has personally tested this baby out. She said:
"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick.
Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart."
Get it from Amazon for $25.
12. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel you absolutely want to add to your skincare routine after taking a quick read of what incredible ingredients lie within — we're talkin' a beautiful marriage of caffeine and hyaluronic acid that'll wake your eyes up faster than chugging a cold brew.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.
Promising review:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under eye bags, but on those occasional mornings where my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
13. Laneige Neo Blurring Powder makes you feel like an oil-absorbing, pore-blurring wizard. All you have to do is dab-dab-dab with the lovely puff the powder comes with, and then admire your perfectly matte complexion for the rest of the day.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action.
Promising review:"I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." — Charlotte Laim
Get it from Amazon for $25.
14. Glossmetics Lychee Overnight Lip Mask to try out if you're tired of the same old Tatcha and Laneige versions everyone's been preaching about. This one is already a new fan favorite, isn't sticky (phew, great news for your loose strands of hair on a windy day), will provide ultimate shine to your lips, *and* leave you with a delicious taste on your tongue.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Glossmetics Overnight Lip Mask in action.
Promising review:"I'm obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive. This is my favorite lip product I've purchased. This gloss is incredible, perfectly moisturizing, and the color is so perfect, a very light natural glowy pink. I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand." — Tara Bills
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three flavors).
15. Lawless's "Forget The Filler" in various delectable flavors — it hydrates your lips overnight (similar to Laneige's repairing sleep mask) and makes your pout fuller. It's made of shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and a stimulating peptide complex that work so magically together you won't ever want to run out.
www.amazon.com, www.instagram.com
Promising review: "Really makes a difference. First overnight treatment I've used where my lips genuinely feel hydrated and plumper in the morning. I'm pleasantly surprised — I bought this on a whim after a rec from The Strategist and almost canceled the order. Now I use it every night!" — Hilary
Get it from Amazon $22 (available in three flavors).
16. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel (which also happens to be everything I'd like in an ice cream sundae). It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin.
www.amazon.com
Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash."
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer
17. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara — race to add it to your cart after seeing reviewer photos. It features a lightweight tubing technology that magically wraps around lashes, transforming them from *drab to fab* without taking away from your natural look.
Emma Lord/BuzzFeed
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."
Get it from Amazon for $6.95 (available in three shades).
18. A facial steamer for anyone who adores soaking up the steam from their too-hot showers (especially in winter) but is leaving you all pruney. This lil' machine will let you reap those same benefits but from your bed (ooooh). It creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates skin to soften, hydrate, open up pores, *and* help relieve sinus congestion.
Note that this comes with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful when performing extractions on yourself, as these can injure your skin if not used properly.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion, and it opened up my pores, too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings, including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me, and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors).
19. E.l.f. Power Grip Primer — so impressive you'll find yourself raving about it to anyone with ears (yep, that includes your cat). It's packed with hyaluronic acid to keep your skin feeling moist all day and goes on clear!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This stuff is comparable to God himself. It gets my face tacky enough so my foundation stays on all day, but it leaves enough moisture for my skin to stay hydrated all day. 12/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!!" — Han
Get it from Amazon for $10.
20. A Samnyte Hair Wax Stick to help you fight the good fight against your flyaways each morning when you're getting ready to head out the door — we're busy people, we don't have time to look like we don't have our life in order (even if we, very much, do not).
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"The Samnyte Hair Wax Stick is amazing! It works wonders for taming flyaways and smoothing my hair without weighing it down. It's easy to apply and gives my hair a neat, polished look. Plus, it's nourishing, so it doesn't dry out my hair. Perfect for creating sleek styles, like buns or ponytails. Definitely a staple in my hair care routine!" — Julia
Get it from Amazon for $7.59.
21. Marc Anthony Grow Long Leave-In Conditioner Spray immediately becomes part of your daily haircare routine — it's packed with vitamin E, caffeine, and ginseng, which should help you in your ongoing fight against frizz and breakage.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I use this literally every day. It works so well; my hair feels great and grows pretty well. For reference, I have curly hair, which is very fine. If I use too much, my hair looks and feels greasy, but it also does that with most products. I just use a few sprays on my scalp, and it's perfect." — Lexi
Get it from Amazon for $7.67.
22. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — toss your old concealer aside! This one has become the internet's holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. I've personally tested this out and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two, I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
23. Tarte Big Stick Energy duo, made up of the new Shape Tape blur concealer stick and brush, will replace any other coverage product you've got on your bathroom vanity. It's creamy, buildable, and won't settle or get cake-y under your eyes. It's a 10/10, new must-have item for your makeup bag.
Let me tell you, I am SO obsessed after trying out this product. The photos above are from when I tried it out for the first time after having very little sleep the previous night (and, if I'm being honest, many nights prior, as my baby girl is not a fan of sleep in general). It felt super creamy as I applied it to my skin. The diamond-shaped tip of the stick helped me "draw" it into the curves of my face as needed. The Shape Tape blur conceal brush also blew me away — it felt so soft against my face and like using a magic wand to blend in the concealer. I didn't even need to apply a second dose to minimize my undereye bags! I've been using the original Shape Tape for years and adore it, but this new version is absolutely going to replace it in my makeup bag simply because it is so much easier to apply. It also blends better than the original with the help of the new brush and, overall, feels lighter on my skin. Consider me a lifelong fan!
Get it from Tarte for $29 (available in 48 shades).
24. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" — a mattifying powder shampoo that's benzene-free, comes in five hair colors, and will be your savior when, oops, you've overslept again before work. Sleepyhead? Certainly not you!!!
www.amazon.com
The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair and I can go an additional day without washing it now." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades).
25. Lumify eye drops *so* beloved on TikTok that they've been selling left and right on Amazon! Reviewers adore them because they reduce redness in their eyes nearly instantly — an absolute must-have if you haven't been getting much sleep thanks to your all-too-busy schedule.
www.amazon.com
Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.
Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
Get it from Amazon for $11.93.
26. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers save you when a big ol' pimple pops up the night before the date you've been excited about all week (and you SHOULD be — it's with that cute guy from the coffee shop you've been daydreaming about asking out for months!).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis is a fan. "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate. For more deets, check out my full Mighty Patch review!"
Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of The Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, which has evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strip Mighty Patches, and more!
Promising review:" Using this product has been a game-changer. It's as if the adhesion of it literally pulls all of the bad stuff from the spot, and you'll know when it's time to remove it when it turns up white on your sticker — so easy to remove, and my spot has gone drastically down. I'm on my fourth box, or maybe fifth? They're my go-to at the slightest spot I get to try to nip it in the bud. Might I add that my hormonal cystic acne spots have been majorly suppressed by these — as soon as I feel one coming on, I take a hot washcloth to the area and put a sticker on overnight for a couple of nights, and the deep underneath, feeling of that spot is gone. I love these so much, and you will too." — DebH
Get a pack of 36 stickers from Amazon for $11.97.
27. La Roche-Posay triple repair moisturizer helps revive the dry skin of everyone in your household. It's safe for babies, children, and adults, so it helps reduce the number of products on your bathroom vanity! It's nongreasy and formulated with shea butter and niacinamide to restore the skin's protective barrier.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This cream has been a lifesaver this winter. A little goes a long way, and it has completely changed my dry skin. I use it every morning, and it keeps my skin hydrated all day. It is lightweight and super creamy without being heavy and greasy. I can't say enough about how effective this cream is at a great price point." — Diane Delbrook
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).
28. Skin1004 Zombie Pack face masks makes you temporarily look like a zombie while you impatiently wait for season two of The Last of Us (and the return of Pedro Pascal to our screens). This entertaining mask will tighten your pores and minimize the appearance of wrinkles while allowing you to take some *very* silly selfies.
Promising review:"Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, with a noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." — Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $17.90.
29. CND SolarOil — a must-have for anyone who is tired of cracked, brittle nails and wants to try and fix 'em once and for all. You and your manicurist will be hugging and jumping for joy once you see the end results.
Promising review:"I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" — Diana
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
30. Peach Slices hydrocolloid nose patches — pop it on before bed as a first line of defense against excess oil, irritating pimples, and enlarged pores. Just wait until morning when you see how much gunk is stuck to the patch — ew, but also, yay!
www.amazon.com
Peach Slices ins a small business!
Promising review: "I use these nose patches on my nose, forehead, and chin because I have very oily skin, and WHEW do they draw out the gross gunk in my pores. My skin feels AMAZING after I use them!!" — Lillie Blanton
Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $9.98.
31. Exfoliating skincare mitts designed to lift away dead skin (and remove a spray tan that's seen better days) — an excellent way for you to kickstart a spa-like experience at home or, you know, give you an excuse to send some gross before and after pics to your pals.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Seraphic Skincare is a small business!
Promising review:"If you're trying to find something for body exfoliation...this is it. Just this glove, water, and some time. I soaked in the bathtub for about 10 minutes, then got to exfoliating." — Kari Shawhan
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
32. Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eye shadow primer that keeps carefully blended eyeshadow in place — you can *thank me later* when you get back from a night out with the girls (complete with the inevitable sweating and wear 'n' tear that goes with parading through a bunch of bars) when your makeup is still flawlessly in place.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high end to low...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" — Melissa Mae
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
33. A LilyAna Naturals eye cream designed to decrease puffiness and dark circles, so if you've been up far too late crying watching Steel Magnolias for the umpteenth time this cream will be there for you come morning.
www.amazon.com
LilyAna Naturals is a small business!
Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and have dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review:"Um...WOW! I have used so many products to help with my dry, red, and inflamed skin. During the winter, it is so hard to keep my skin moisturized throughout the day. Within two days, I saw such a huge difference. So calming and gives you a nice, moisturized glow. I feel so much better knowing my skin is healing. I will use this in my routine for the rest of my life!" — Christina A.

35. A winged eyeliner stamp because you and I know you simply don't have the time (or patience) to try and conquer crafting the perfect cat-eye. Let this baby do the work for you so you can move on to other things...like steadily lining your lips. 😅
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Lovoir is a small business!
Promising review:"Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived, and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise, I put the left cat eye on first, and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean, crisp line. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." — LadyMeow

www.amazon.com
Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week.
Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala

37. A selfie-worthy Elizabeth Mott's Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask to exfoliate blackheads and fight other skin impurities while it bubbles up and looks downright hilarious.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. I was skeptical at first, but after my first use, I fell in love. It goes on smoothly and doesn't drip off, which is nice. Once it was time to rinse off, i t was amazing seeing all the stuff it sucked out of my pores (gross, but a good gross). Not only does this stuff work, it's fun to watch and see your face turn into a Smurf lol. I have cystic acne, which in itself is hard to manage, but this stuff made it that much more manageable. Face was left feeling cleansed, refreshed, and soft. LOVE LOVE this product. Highly highly recommend." — HarleyMama

38. Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick reduces the under-eye circles and puffiness you're prone to having if "Sleepy" is your middle name, but you're simply not catching enough Zzzs these days. A big shout out to the glacial waters it's formulated with, amiright?

Promising reviews:"I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." — Ben
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
39. Bio-Oil, which reviewers swear helps to diminish scars and stretch marks so well it should probably be called "bye-bye oil." It *also* does a fabulous job moisturizing sensitive skin. It's filled with rosemary, lavender, chamomile, vitamin A, vitamin E, and PurCellin oil to help keep your skin feeling (and looking!) great.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord was super impressed by this product, she said:
" FWIW re: scars, though, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago, and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."
Promising review:"I had to have a freckle excised to check for cancer. The wound was very deep and left a scar (the one in the center). The other two scars are actually from the bandages I used to cover the wound. The scar made me self conscious, and I found this online with great reviews. I will say that if I had used it every single day, I think the scar would be completely gone. However, even with using it maybe three or four times a week, the results are amazing! I am very happy with this product. The scent is lovely and light, and I love the consistency. Highly recommend!!" — Alexis Melendez
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
40. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream aka your most cherished beauty product — it'll help you out whether your under-eye bags are courtesy of your nocturnal infant or you drank a cup of coffee too late in the day when you couldn't stop yawning during your afternoon meeting.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have a newborn so I don't sleep enough or drink enough water. I was really starting to notice the effects under my eyes. I had dark bags and just looked tired. I put this eye cream on at night with my normal lotion and noticed a big difference in the darkness under my eyes the next morning. Now after I have applied it for a few days p.m. and a.m., my dark circles and bags are almost gone. I may not feel rested but at least I'll look it!" — Jamie Moore

41. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment only asks for a mere five minutes of your time and transforms hair from drab to fab — yes, seriously, only 300 seconds will do the trick!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." — Therese-Claire

Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I'm so amazed by Opalex No 3! Literally in just one treatment, I noticed a huge difference in my hair. My 3c hair had gotten very dry and damaged and was looking horrible. I can't believe the difference already in just one treatment. The number of compliments I got this week about how healthy my hair looked was amazing! I'm planning on continuing to do a weekly treatment for the next few weeks. It's expensive, and I used a third of the bottle for one treatment, but it's absolutely worth it! Nothing else has ever worked this well for me." — Michelle

Reasonable Doubt Duo Talk Morris Chestnut's Season 3 Return, Hype Joseph Sikora and Other Additions

Faces familiar and new will rock Jax's world when Season 3 of Reasonable Doubt hits Hulu. Created by Raamla Mohamed and the first scripted drama from Onyx Collective (an initiative to create 'culturally specific, wildly entertaining content'), Reasonable Doubt stars Emayatzy Corinealdi (Ballers, Hand of God) as Jax Stewart, a high-powered criminal defense attorney from Los Angeles who 'fiercely bucks the justice system through wild interpretations of the law and sometimes questionable ethics, all while trying to deal with a failing marriage and the pitfalls of motherhood.' More from TVLine Tom Ellis Previews Latest FBI Offshoot, His CIA Agent's 'Large Dose of Moral Ambiguity' - Watch Video Tony Awards 2025: How to Watch Broadway's Biggest Night Online Criminal Minds Video: As JJ Seeks Help, Aimee Garcia Previews 'Intimate' Scenes With a 'Magical' A.J. Cook The series also stars McKinley Freeman (Queen Sugar) as Jax's husband Lewis, Tim Jo (This Is Us) as Daniel, Angela Grovey (Joyful Noise) as Krystal, Thaddeus J. Mixson (Candy Cane Lane) as Spenser and Aderinsola Olabode as Naima. Morris Chestnut joined the cast in Season 2 as defense lawyer Corey Cash, but his character moved on from Jax's firm after they closed a key case in the finale. Chestnut, however, will return/recur in Season 3, despite now headlining CBS' already-renewed freshman hit Watson. Chestnut's encore is 'one of the things that makes this season interesting,' Corinealdi shares with TVLine in the video above, from Disney's 2025 Upfront. 'We know he's coming back, but in what capcity, we're going to see.' As Freeman notes, 'a talent like Morris Chestnut only improves the production, so we're fortunate to have him. 'But the cast we have added for Season 3 is phenomenal,' he raves. In Season 3 (premiere date TBA), 'After a tumultuous season of fighting to save her best friend from a life sentence while healing from her own deadly affair, Jax Stewart has finally earned some peace in her life … even if she sees it all as a little boring,' the synopsis tells us. 'So, when a former child star finds himself in a heap of trouble, Jax seizes the opportunity to spice up her daily routine. But when her client's personal life turns out to have all the drama and danger of a Hollywood movie — and Jax's own professional future comes under threat from a charismatic associate at her firm — can Jax clear her client's name without losing the personal and professional successes she's worked so hard for?' New recurring players on tap for Season 3 include Kyle Bary (Ginny & Georgia) as Ozzie, the former star of a long-running sitcom; Rumer Willis (Empire) as Ozzie's stylist and girlfriend; Brandee Evans (P-Valley) as Ozzie's agent; April Parker Jones (If Loving You Is Wrong) as Ozzie's imperious 'momager' and Keith Arthur Bolden (Cobra Kai) as his father; and Richard Brooks (Being Mary Jane) as a ghost from Jax's past who threatens to unravel everything she's worked so hard to build. Perhaps most significantly, though, Joseph Sikora — who plays Tommy Egan in Starz's Power universe — will fill the series regular role of Bill Sterling, a coworker at Jax's firm who started his law career later in life after serving as a Coast Guard for 10 years. Now he is looking to make partner, and his proximity to Jax becomes imperative to his success. Teasing the introduction of Sikora's character, Corinealdi says, 'Just know this: Jax does not suffer fools, and Jax is very protective of what she's built. So we'll get to see what happens between her and [Bill Sterling.' Want scoop on , or for any other TV show? Shoot an email to InsideLine@ and your question may be answered via Matt's Inside Line!

Bonnie Bartlett Reflects On 'Little House' Legacy

Bonnie Bartlett and William Daniels have had incredible careers, portraying some of television's most iconic characters, including Grace Edwards in Little House On The Prairie and Mr. Feeny in Boy Meets World. Between the recent 50th anniversary of Little House On The Prairie and the launch of William and Bonnie's official merch store, it was a perfect time to catch up with the legendary Bonnie Bartlett-Daniels. BuzzFeed: I heard you got the part for Grace Edwards the same day that you met Michael Landon. Was that surprising for you? Bonnie Bartlett: Oh, very surprising. I didn't think it would be that way, and my agent didn't think it would be that way. I don't know what went on in Michael's mind, but we met, and he had a part for me, and you know, that was it. I always had a soft spot for Grace. She carried herself with such class and such strength. What was it like portraying her character? Bonnie Bartlett: I had so many older Aunties. I'm from the Midwest. I was born in Wisconsin, and I was raised in Illinois, in a small town. I was constantly surrounded by Aunt this, Aunt that, Grandma this, Grandma that, and they were all great. (The men were not so great, but the women were all great!) It was just natural for me to play those Aunts. In Grace's first appearance ("Mr. Edwards' Homecoming"), we see Grace and Isaiah's romance blossom. What was your favorite thing about working with Victor French? Bonnie Bartlett: He kept it so lighthearted, you know? It was fun most of the time. Then later on, it got more serious, and I had to kind of help him to focus, but we just seemed to know what to do with each other. It was similar to when my husband [William Daniels] and I worked together; we just knew what to do. For Little House, Isaiah and Grace kind of just knew what to do. "Mr. Edwards' Homecoming" was a really sweet episode, full of cute moments. Were there any favorite moments that stick out to you? Bonnie Bartlett: I remember the time when I had the jug! [Grace drinks from Mr. Edwards' jug, which looks like it has alcohol but really just has water.] I love that part! I don't drink at all — but it was so fun to do that, take that jug and do it like that, you know, the way you're supposed to do it. They showed me how to do that, and that was fun. Oh yes! I loved it when Mr. Hanson walks in and he sees Grace having a swig from the jug and is horrified — very clever writing! Bonnie Bartlett: Grace is the postmistress, which was the fun part. She was kind of a prim, middle-aged lady, and was just opening up to how much fun it could be with Isaiah. It was beautifully written, and we had fun doing it. One of my favorite scenes is when Mr. Edwards proposes to Grace, and they get married. What's something that sticks out to your mind when you think about that moment? Bonnie Bartlett: What sticks out for me is that at the time, I'm a 45-year-old woman, and Grace is getting married, and that is a very emotional thing. Grace and Isaiah have a physical attraction, which is played down in the show — it's underneath everything, but it is there. That's what makes it interesting, because their physical attraction is beneath everything; it's never recognized. Do you know what I mean? It makes a kind of tension between them. That kind of tension makes it fun. I had to leave Little House because Victor left. He left the show to do his own sitcom [the show Carter Country ]. The writers had other scripts, but they said to me, "Sorry, but you're out." Victor eventually came back, but by that time, I was onto other things, because Little House was my first job here in California. I was doing all kinds of movies, and I couldn't have gone back, and they moved on to other stuff. I was getting used to California and getting used to doing other things, so I was fine. Soon after came St. Elsewhere! I've done so many 'movies-of-the-week,' so many parts in different shows — but Little House was probably the most fun of all, and I adored Melissa [Gilbert]. What was Michael Landon like as a director? I heard he ran the set very efficiently. Bonnie Bartlett: Well, he did something that I didn't like at first. I had to get used to it. He blocked all the technical stuff, not with the actors, but he blocked it with the stand-ins. Then the stand-ins told you what to do physically, and that standard was strange to me. I never had anything like that; I was always in on the very beginning. But he did it like that, and he managed to do it. I've written a book, and a lot of memories are in the book. One of the things I found out later was sad; I found out a few sad things that I didn't know. When we would sit down for lunch, Michael was always there. He was always kind of wandering around. He was like a shepherd taking care of his flock, but he never sat down and ate anything. He just drank something, and I didn't know — I thought it was coffee or something. It turns out that it was vodka, and Michael drank much too much, and so did Victor. I'm extremely concerned about what that does to people, how it shortens people's lives, and it's sad. That's the sad part of Little House, that those two men, these two wonderful guys, both went very early. Michael only wanted to help people. Of course, he wanted to be successful, but it really meant something to him to have a positive effect on people. It meant something to him very much. Your husband, William Daniels, also inspired my generation with his role as Mr. Feeny in Boy Meets World. What has it been like to meet all the Boy Meets World and Little House fans at conventions? Bonnie Bartlett: I love it. They're very different people. My fans are older women, and they related to Little House. So mostly, my fans will be sweet, very sweet, older women. William's fans are younger. An incredible amount of people watch Boy Meets World, and love Mr. Feeny, and they ask him for advice. Billy [William] does the best he can. My son helps him, and William does his best to be positive. He's very proud of the fact that so many people have been inspired to become teachers. He really thinks that's a great thing to do for your country, for your people. We need good educators. ABC Photo Archives / Disney General Entertainment Content / Via Getty Images I also wanted to bring up your role in The Golden Girls, where you portrayed the infamous Barbaba Thorndyke! Bonnie Bartlett: Bea [Arthur] and I were actually friends in New York, and we had no idea that episode would be so popular. I think it's one of their most popular episodes. Barbara Thorndyke — I knew she was awful, but I didn't think she was such a villain. It has been a surprise to me just how much people responded to Barbara. [Check out the Barbara Thorndyke T-shirt on William and Bonnie's website, featuring Dorothy's iconic quote, "Go To Hell!"] Her character has truly become an iconic Golden Girls villain! Betty White also did a fantastic job in that episode. Do you have any favorite memories of working with her? Bonnie Bartlett: One of my favorite things that happened, and I think this was before I did Golden Girls, was that we were at some kind of an event. My mother was in town, and so my mother went with us, and Betty White sat with us. My mother was not a demonstrative person, but she was so thrilled to be sitting there with Betty White. And it just happened — you can't plan these things! You and William have had such incredible careers. Do you have any wisdom you would like to share with my generation? Bonnie Bartlett: All I can say is, keep exercising, don't drink, don't smoke. Take care of yourself first, and I don't mean being selfish, I just mean take care of your mind, take care of your body. It's a tough world out there. I feel great sympathy for the younger people who are trying to navigate our business. It's hard, and it's also hard for middle-aged people. So I can only say for the young people, you know, you gotta get out there, take care of yourself, and find out what you want to do. That's really important, to make a living at something that you like to do, but still make a living. I think the character of Grace Edwards would agree with you completely. Bonnie Bartlett: Yes, I think she would! Thank you, Bonnie, for sharing stories of your incredible career and the words of wisdom! Check out Bonnie and William's official website for autographed pictures, books, T-shirts, and more! Autographed copies of Bonnie's autobiography, Middle of the Rainbow, are available.
