Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina

2. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only FIVE DOLLARS.

Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!).
Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy

3. A Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover to conquer the rough skin on your tootsies and heels when you simply don't have the time to head out for a legit pedicure.
Promising review: "Amazing. Now I know the first pic is gross but that just shows how bad my feet were, scrubbing, pedicures, soaking all just made it worse until I found this! I mean it seriously shows In the pics. The other big thing I noticed was how soft my feet were after using it! Too bad you can't tell that from the picture. Idk what makes this work so well but it's a miracle! And yes definitely wear gloves and you're good to go." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in a two-pack).

This product helps with fungal nail damage and might possibly help with the discoloration, thickness, and brittleness you've also been experiencing. Sandal season is coming — let's conquer this once and for all.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know, the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone, and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." — rose b.
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.
Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33.
9. Catrice's "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener conceals and brightens the dark circles under your eyes SO FAST you might even forget you stayed up super late watching Summer House and are now sleepier than ever. This lightweight color-adapting formula now comes in four fabulous shades!
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four 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." — Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).

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
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

11. 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.
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).
12. Or Lilac St. Original Lashes that are said to stay put for up to 10 days (!!!), which means you won't have to apply mascara for over a week! They're vegan, cruelty-free, and feature silk lash fibers you're bound to get compliments on.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Lilac St is a small business!
Promising review: "Y'all, I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started, and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use several times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously, will never stray." — Katiew
Get them from Amazon for $12.95 (available in 11 styles and five sizes).
13. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as 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.
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
Get it from Amazon for $24.
14. A Briotech spray helps calm down any pesky skin irritations (looking at you, rashes, sunburns, rosacea, eczema, etc). Its magical ingredient is hypochlorous, which helps diminish inflammation while simultaneously strengthening your skin barrier. It might just remind ya of the fan favorite (but pricier) Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Note: This product has newer packaging that you might receive instead of the older bottle shown above!
Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face, and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye, and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed the irritation and the stye, which went away. This simple, inexpensive spray takes care of any blemish or acne. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, the same ingredient in the Biotech spray, for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
15. 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.
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 had 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).
16. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion shockingly costs less than a Grande iced latte at Starbucks (wowza!). Reviewers rave about how it's not greasy at all, sinks right in, leaves skin feeling (and smelling) amazing *and* will likely remind you of the ever-popular Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel scent...ooh la la!
www.amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: "I was worried after some people said the scent was a bit strong, but as someone who is usually sensitive to smells I'm extremely happy with this. N ot only does it feel amazing and super creamy, it smells SOOOO good. I love that it feels like expensive body butter and the smell literally lasts all day. 100% recommend" — Carley
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two sizes, five other scents, and multi-packs).
17. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer, aka a K-beauty must-have you may not have heard of just yet, but, boy, are you about to now! The jar is filled with tiny, poppable capsules you can snap and apply directly to your skin for the glowy revival you've been hoping for since Jack Frost did his worst.
Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue left behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi
Get it from Amazon for $19.90.
18. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse because not all of us have been naturally blessed with Brooke Shields's iconic eyebrows — this product comes in six shades and will give your brows the boost they need.
Amazon
Promising review:"So quick and easy to get full fluffy brows! It does it all in one. Gives them volume, holds them nice without being over-tacky and stiff, and darkens them. So easy in the morning before work. Takes a couple of swipes, and I am ready to go." — jessica alexandra
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six shades).
19. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops will quickly become your most talked about skincare item after you see how incredible it'll leave your face looking and feeling. It's packed with hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid and can be used solely as a serum or mixed in with your go-to foundation for a hydrating boost your skin is likely craving. Reviewers love using it instead of the pricier (but VERY similar) Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
20. A Kitsch heatless curling set — wrap your hair into it before hitting the hay, remove it when you wake up, and then stare at yourself and your luscious locks. It's as easy as that — no heat needed! If only Sleeping Beauty knew about these before that looooong slumber...
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review:"I was thoroughly impressed at how well this worked!!! My daughter has very long, thick hair, and I did not honestly expect this to work as well as it did!!! I am now going to purchase one for myself!!! Highly recommend!!!!" — Steven Schoorens
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 11 styles).

Promising review:"After 20+ years of trying to find a product to help me manage my curly hair, Jonathan Van Ness has done it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product.

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes).
22. 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?
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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.
23. Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eye shadow primer 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:"This eye primer is the real deal! Easy to apply — a tiny bit goes a long way! No creasing or oiliness all day long. My eyeshadow and liner lasts from 6 a.m.–10 p.m., even in heat and humidity. I have sensitive skin, which does not bother my eyelids. I have looked at other brands of eye primer but will stick with this one because it works so well!" — Delila Angulo
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
24. A Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask works harder than Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey mining diamonds. Apply it before you hit the hay to reap the benefits (firmer skin, more elasticity, minimized pores) while you dream.
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
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.
25. A blackhead scrub stick exfoliates clogged pores and removes excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"
www.amazon.com
See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok!
Promising review: "Here's the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It's an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you've done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" — Molly
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
26. 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.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Amazon Customer
"Holy moly! This is the real deal! I was nervous because it was so cheap, but it's so natural looking and easy to apply." — SE
Get it from Amazon for $9.09+ (available in 11 styles).

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).
30. E.l.f "Squeeze Me" lip balm 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 is obsessed 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).
31. 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.

Get it from Amazon for $9.39.

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

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

41. Peach Slices hydrocolloid nose patches — pop one 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!

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

I've used this for as long as I can remember and my skin is always hydrated. I also love it for when I'm hot, I just spray all over and ahhhhh so refreshing :))" — Vanessa
