1. E.l.f. Power Grip Primer because in order to serve face, you gotta — and I mean GOTTA — start with a killer base that will keep your look locked in place all day and night. This is infused with hyaluronic acid, AND reviewers say it's basically like Milk Makeup's Hydro Grip Primer.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I wanted to try this for the longest time, and I finally got it, and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend this product, especially if you have dry skin. This is my favorite primer to use now. Works so well and helps with making your makeup look almost flawless. Highly recommend it." — Megan Lindstrom
Get it from Amazon for $10.
2. The oh-so-popular Saie Glowy Super Gel destined to give you that ✨ lit from within glow. ✨ Whether you use it under foundation or dab it on as a highlighter, you'll be beaming with joy (and hydration) since it's enriched with vitamin C and squalane.
Amazon
Saie is a woman-founded small business based in NYC that strives to create clean beauty products.
Promising review: "I am soooo in love with this product!! It makes your skin glow and feels so smooth! Anytime I don't want to wear a full face of makeup, I put this on with some moisturizer, and it makes my skin GLOW! I will be using this for the rest of my life lol." — natalieejp
Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $28 (available in four shades; also available in a mini size).
3. Catrice's "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that pretty much has all other concealers beat since its lightweight, color-adapting formula seamlessly blends into the skin. No signs of creasing or caking here, just plain ol' freaking magic since it'll brighten undereye bags in seconds!
The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid and shea butter and it's designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: " I used to use the Becca under-eye product and this one is way better. You can sheer it out and warm it up on your hand. Don't need to use a lot and it adds a lot of brightness under concealer." — Ariel O
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).
4. Maybelline's Fit Me Matte foundation — when you put it on, it'll literally feel like your skin but better. Reviewers say it's super buildable while still leaving a natural finish. It even keeps those with the oiliest of skin looking matte all day!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The Maybelline Fit Me Matte Foundation is hands down my favorite foundation! It works better than some of my high-end foundations, offering great coverage that evens out my complexion while controlling oil and minimizing pores. The formula feels lightweight, blends easily, and stays in place throughout the day without feeling cakey or heavy. I love how it gives me a smooth, matte finish that lasts, even in warmer weather. The Nude Beige shade is a perfect match for my skin tone, and the price is unbeatable for the quality. If you're looking for an affordable, reliable foundation, this is definitely a winner!" — AmyG
Get it from Amazon for $8.62 (available in 43 shades).
5. And if you want something more light coverage, L'Oreal's True Match Skin Tint for those days you want a "no makeup" makeup look. This is formulated with 1% hyaluronic acid, so your skin will feel super hydrated, all while giving a super smooth, natural look!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have looked my whole life for a foundation that worked for me. Too much coverage, too little, no lasting power, too cakey , etc… and I've always hated the sensation of being able to feel makeup on my skin. I randomly bought this after searching for 'tinted serum' and liked the many positive reviews. So I tried it. And it is awesome! It feels so light going on, way more like skincare than actual makeup, and the color is SPOT ON. It seems to have good staying power despite feeling so light, and has just the perfect amount of coverage for me. It feels very moisturizing and gives my skin a beautiful, dewy glow. I almost can't believe this is a drug store brand. I've used products three times the price and never felt nearly this happy with them. A+++" — Addie
Get it from Amazon for $6.54+ (available in 14 shades).
6. The Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Powder so you can absorb excess oils and matte-ify areas like your T-zone or under the eyes so that you'll have an airbrushed-looking finish all day. This is a staple for many professional makeup artists, so you definitely need to incorporate it into your routine.
Sephora
Promising review: "I love Huda powders. They are some of the very best on the market. This powder applies so flawlessly and removes any shine while setting my makeup to last all day. I have very dry skin, so most powders do not work for me. However, I keep coming back to Huda!" — addiryanne
Get it from Sephora for $39 (available in nine shades and a mini size).
7. E.l.f Camo Liquid Blush that a lot of reviewers say is quitteeee similar to the Rare Beauty one, but way cheaper. These pigmented shades will def add a pop of color to your cheeks and the soft, dewy finish will leave you glowing!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The color is beautiful, and the pigmentation is excellent, with a smooth, dewy finish that feels natural on the skin. The formula is high quality, easy to apply, and blends perfectly, giving me a fresh and radiant look. What I like most is that it has great staying power, making it ideal for all-day wear without needing touch-ups. Plus, I love that it's vegan and cruelty-free. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a high-quality, vibrant blush!" — Kevin y Magda
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 12 shades).
8. Or, a Milani Baked Blush, a true classic since you probably remember this from your mom's makeup bag in the early 2000s. Little did you know, this blush just hits different since it's super buildable, blends seamlessly into the skin, and even comes with a mini applicator!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "You can't go wrong with the Milani baked blush. I've used several different shades and they all go on beautifully with just enough of a highlight shimmer to draw light to the cheeks and anywhere you want to highlight and add a pop of color. I often get compliments about my make up and when my mother asked for me to buy her some make up for Christmas to try out this was first on my gift list. It looks great on her too, so it's a blush for anyone of any age." — Raptured Night
Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in 21 shades).

Promising review: "I'm totally in love with this! The texture is so silky and smooth— it blends like a dream and gives me the most natural sun-kissed glow. The shade is perfect for adding warmth without looking too orange or muddy. Plus, it has this amazing tropical scent that makes me feel like I'm on vacation every time I use it! The formula is buildable, so you can go subtle or really bronze it up. And the best part? It never looks patchy and lasts all day. If you're looking for a bronzer that's easy to apply and gives you that effortless, healthy glow, this is it!" — Miss Rae
Get it from Amazon for $6.31+ (available in 10 shades).
10. Rare Beauty Positive Light Highlighter that'll work so well to showcase your high points you won't even need to stand in direct sunlight for this baby to show that your highlight is poppin'.
Sephora
Promising review:"Rare Beauty is one of my favorite highlighters because a little bit goes a long way. If you want to do a natural makeup look then it's perfect, but if you add a little more, it's also great for full glam." — bella200marie
Get it from Sephora for $27 (available in six shades)
11. Makeup Forever's Artist Color Lip Liner — she's an icon, she's a legend, and she IS the moment because the creamy formula glides on so easily, is heavily pigmented, and lasts pretty much all day. What more could you ask for in a lip liner?
Sephora

Promising review:"I saw someone on Instagram using this color and decided to order it. You never know, but I SCORED!!!!!! Color is absolutely perfect and I'm always looking for a great shade and this one is fabulous — it stays on well and does not bleed. 450 Romantic Rose is the perfect pink! It's my go-to lipstick in my purse! 😍" — susie
Promising review: "The lipstick goes on smooth and doesn't feel sticky, so you can throw it on without feeling like you're even wearing it. The color is amazing, and it lasts without having to reapply over and over. I will def purchase this again in different colors!" — Remedy
Get it from Amazon for $5.64 (available in 44 shades).
13. Nyx Butter Gloss because your lip gloss has two major requirements: 1) it needs to be poppin', and 2) it needs to be cool. In addition to being both those things, this gives you a high-shine finish without being sticky, and it comes in 40 (!!) shades, so you'll be sure to find one you love.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review (for shade "Sugar Glass"): "Perfect clear gloss: non-sticky, no weird residue, moisturizing, subtle sweet scent, no bad taste, cute, long-wearing, a lot of product for not a lot of money. I have found my lippie go-to with this one!" — Anonymous

14. The Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment that everyone and their mom wants to get their hands on because of how wildly hydrating it is (it's infused with Scandinavian cloudberry oil). They got suuupper popular once Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee said it was a staple in her beauty routine, so you may as well join in on the hype.
Sephora
Promising review: "I'm the type of person that would never be caught DEAD spending $22 on a LIP BALM. But I had a gift card, and my lips had been cracking, so I pulled the trigger. And let me tell you I WOULD PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS WITH MY OWN MONEY TIME AND TIME AGAIN." — morgan1432
Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in eight styles).
15. Nyx Micro Brow Pencil so you can add some shape and definition to your brows. On one end, you get a precise pencil to fill in the sparse areas, and on the other, you get a spoolie to help keep those hairs in place. Reviewers say it's just as good as the Anastasia Brow Wiz!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have been using this eyebrow pencil for years now and will not use anything else. I absolutely love it. It's a fraction of the price of the Anastasia eyebrow pencil but just as good. The super fine tip makes it easy to get thin lines that look natural. Plus, the shade range is perfect." — Diana Chavarria
Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in 12 shades).
16. The Too Faced Born This Way Eye Shadow Palette — it's versatile enough so you can use it for your regular day-to-day looks or go full glam and release your inner glittery goddess. Either way, this palette will come in handy, and reviewers say the color payoff is worth every penny!
Sephora
Promising review: "BLOWN AWAY. Better than Anastasia Beverly Hills and Tarte Toasted. The pigment and longevity is insane. Doesn't muddy at all, and no fallout.

Get it from Sephora for $54.
17. Nyx's Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil to add some extra drama to your lash line and water line. It's super pigmented, and the twist-up design is perfect for those who don't want to bother with sharpening. Oh, and did I mention it's got over 70,000 5-star reviews!!
Amazon, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "For years, I used MAC black eyeliner and bought this in a pinch one day at the mall. Best purchase ever! It's so smooth when it rolls on; you only need one swipe to get a smooth black line! Gone are the days of going back and forth over and over. Love this! New favorite!" — EvaK
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 12 shades).
18. A tube of Essence Lash Princess Mascara that reviewers love because it's less than $5 and gives you some dramatic — like Bravo TV dramatic — looking lashes. No need to reapply throughout the day or fiddle with uncomfortable falsies when you've got this in your beauty arsenal.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it in action on TikTok.
Promising review: "I tried this mascara for the first time in 2020 after seeing it go viral on TikTok. It was too inexpensive not to try, right?!?! Well, let me just say how upset I was to find out this little inexpensive bottle outperformed EVERY expensive mascara I had ever bought. This is now the only stuff I use!" — Amanda Sims
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack and in two colors).
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review.
19. A Shisheido Eyelash Curler — pretty much deemed THE lash curler you need because of how well it keeps your lashes curled all day and night. Reviewers appreciate how this doesn't damage their eyelashes and agree that it's worth every penny.
Sephora
Promising review:"After using this for the past few weeks, I noticed a major difference compared to other lash curlers, including the E.l.f lash curler. This specific curler really emphasizes my lashes — they usually are short and straight, but with this, they look more defined and lifted." — moonlight09
20. Patrick Starrr's One Size On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray that will be the perfect finishing touch to any look since it gives you a smoother, matte finish and boasts an 18-hour hold. This is perfect for anyone who deals with sweat, oily skin, or just wants to make sure their look won't budge one bit!
Sephora, One Size
This TikToker did a transfer test, smudge test, and even a waterproof test to show how well this keeps your makeup in place! (Note: This does have an intense spray, so make sure you keep your mouth closed while spraying 6 inches away from your face.)
Promising review:"Love this! I have very oily skin and live in Florida. I've used pretty much every setting spray, and most have not performed nearly as well as this! Makes my makeup last 8 hours, give or take some, which is enough for me personally. While it is scented, it's not overwhelming like other products. I still try to brace myself because it is a sealant with a jet stream tip. Overall would recommend it for my oily-skinned gals who have trouble getting their makeup to last!" — Taylor Flores
Get it from Sephora for $17+ (available in two sizes).

You Might Become A Bit Obsessed With These 44 Products

A set of breathable seamless thongs specifically loved by several reviewers who "hate" thongs, with many saying these are the "most comfortable thong" they've ever worn. 👀 Folks say these are comfortable all day *and* claim they're comparable to (and even better than!) brands like Skims and Victoria's Secret. These are from Amazon for just about $4 a piece — who would've thought?! A Gold Bond neck and chest firming cream, because our décolletage is too often forgotten when it comes to skincare needs. This elixir is a pro at improving your skin's firmness, texture, *and* elasticity. Its salicylic acid gently exfoliates dead skin cells while its stress response proteins boost your skin's moisture retention to improve smoothness and suppleness. It also contains glycerin and aloe, which adds some extra hydration. Iconic, truly. A stunning minimizer bra that's more than just a pretty face. It won't just frame your chest in the most seductive way, it *also* basically gives you a surgery-free breast reduction. 👀 Reviewers rave about the bra's ability to support breasts while minimizing bulk without the awkward separating and squishing that often result from lesser bras. Plus, the comfortable sheer mesh and lace details will have you feeling so sexy, it'll be a shame to have to put a shirt on over it. *Sighhh* A Cup Cozy Pillow to take your Sundays to their *maximum* laziness level. This genius gem has five expandable cup holes to fit mugs, water bottles, and snacks, with an insulating foam that keeps drinks hot or cold for longer periods. Need I say more? Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream if you want to be known for smelling like a walking Italian bakery, leaving the enchanting scent of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla everywhere you go. Enriched with caffeine, guarana extract, and coconut oil, this miraculous little jar of cream will help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. But may I just highlight again its intoxicating scent? According to the reviewers, you might just get a little obsessed. Consider this your warning. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that only needs one "before and after" pic to prove that it works wonders on those rough, dry areas that can develop on your feet. Just apply the gel and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then follow up with a foot scrubber. This is the *perfect* addition to your next self-care day. A Java Sock for your emotional support iced beverage (and yes, I am a little biased towards my fellow iced coffee lovers). It'll keep that vanilla almond milk latte cold for ages — hours, according to reviewers 👀 — *and* it'll keep your drink from sweating into your cupholder or all over your desk. Now, you can stay cool while sippin' on your iced drink, and neither of you will be breaking a sweat. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes to help stop hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating from ruining a good night's sleep. Give your pits a swipe of this before bed, enjoy a sweat-free slumber, and wash in the morning! An easy-to-apply fungal nail renewal formula if you wanna get those toes lookin' healthy and sandal-ready for the sunny season. Apply this fast-acting formula, and you can start seeing visual improvements in as little as two days! A Denman Hair Brush that's designed with seven rows of evenly-spaced bristles to help anyone with wavy, curly, or coily hair define their textured tresses in half the time it usually takes to style. Guess this means you've got some extra time for your coffee run tomorrow morning (I mean, you never skip it, but at least this time it won't make you late. 🤷🏻‍♀️) A super plush and cozy "dog bed for humans" for every time you've looked at your furry bestie snuggled up in their cozy bed and thought, "Wow. MUST BE NICE." 🙃 With this super soft (and slightly firm!) bed, you can have the same glorious naps! A set of internet-famous Mellanni extra soft cooling bedsheets reviewers are favoring over their Cozy Earth and Egyptian cotton sheets that cost $$$. They've earned over 238,000 5-star ratings thanks to the super-soft and moisture-wicking microfiber fabric — at an unbeatable price! Get ready to be cozy all summer long. You just might ditch your expensive sheets for these babies after the first night. And a pair of cooling pillowcases with a clever double-sided design — one ~cooling~, one cotton! One side is a comfy, soft cotton while the other side is a heat-absorbing fabric with ~Arc-Chill cooling fibers~ that gives you that oh-so-wonderful chilly sensation *and* helps prevent dry, frizzy hair (buh-bye bedhead). Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap, which you can use on your face as well as your hands, neck, bikini area, inner thighs, and underarms. Its wonderful mix of shea butter, olive oil, turmeric, hyaluronic acid, and retinol will give hyper-pigmented areas an even glow by helping to reduce scars and restore moisture. A personalized book stamp perfect for any nerdy bookworm because it serves as a very ~pretty~ way of ensuring your favorite novels get back to you when loaning them out (especially your beloved Jane Austens)! A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit because you can wear it under your clothing as shapewear or pair with jeans to achieve an outfit that has countless ways to accessorize. 😍 It's seamless, breathable, and will hug your body *just* right. A set of "wine wands" that anyone who enjoys an evening glass of red wine will appreciate because it gives them all the flavor *without* that dreaded headache in the morning. All they gotta do is swirl this wand (which contains a histamine and sulfite filter) in their wine for 20 seconds, and voila. No more wine hangovers! A paper incense tin, aka the star of the show in your next "What's In My Bag?" video. Inside the wrapped tin is a decorative paper envelope filled with 48 teeny tiny incense papers. To use, clip one piece of paper to the tin and wait as it burns (for about five minutes). After that, the soothing smell should fill your space for up to a few hours. A fruit tart cat bed with removable fruit pillows and a comfy cushioned crust. You've cat to be kitten me with how cute this is! A moisture-wicking tennis skort designed with a dreamy four-way stretch, built-in shorts, and two secret inner pockets for your phone and keys so you can hold your iced coffee in one hand and gesticulate with your other as you tell your bestie the latest tea in your love life while on your Hot Girl Walk. Also, no need to worry about a strong breeze! A timeless tennis bracelet made with 14-karat gold-plated cubic zirconia so you bling your wrist out without wearing your wallet out. Like this reviewer says, "Cartier who?!" A pack of wall plant clips — a whopping SIXTY of them, in fact — for all those posing as humans, but are secretly Pixie Hollow fairies (don't worry, I won't tell a soul). These gentle clips are paint-safe and sticky on the back, so you can display vines without using nails or aesthetic-killing clips. An exfoliating mitten you can use in the bath or shower to achieve that ~buttery soft~ skin. It helps you gently lather off dead skin, prevent ingrown hairs, and eliminate bumps caused by keratosis pilaris. The best part? You can get specific about the exfoliation pressure, since it's on your own hand! A refillable roll-on sponge sunscreen applicator that's extraaa helpful if you have a little one that would rather skip the SPF and go straight to the water — this makes the necessary step of sun protection super quick! Just fill up the chamber with your go-to sunscreen, give it a shake, and the genius roller ball and sponge combo will take care of the rest. A pair of reusable silicone nipple covers, which give you every reason to ditch the bra because they serve as a super discrete alternative — they're also waterproof! Now you can confidently dance the night away without fear of a nip slip. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) because it takes the time-consuming factor away from achieving squeaky clean surfaces. It's bound to earn its own labeled space in your bathroom cabinet. Seriously. The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch-free should be considered witchcraft. Cerave eye repair cream — don't you just love it when everyone points out how tired you look? This hydrates and repairs your undereye's delicate skin barrier with three essential ceramides so that you can say "see ya" to those dark circles. A bag of citrusy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets, which will serve as your little lifesavers when it comes time to go on that all-inclusive trip with the besties this summer (who are gonna be ready for shots 24/7). This stuff will help you rehydrate fast and make hangovers a thing of the past! Drink one of these and be headache free and fresh as a daisy for your early morning excursions. An oscillating tower fan that gives off such cold air, some reviewers have found that they use it more than their AC! Take👏 my👏 money.👏 It has six speeds (up to 24 feet per second velocity), three modes, and it's whisper quiet. All you gotta do is plug it in, and you'll be transported to a winter wonderland. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil because it uses the calming powers of heartleaf oil to soothe irritated skin and eliminate makeup residue, blackheads, and sebum while preventing pore congestion — perfect to incorporate in a double cleansing routine! It's also hypoallergenic and works wonders for sensitive, acne-prone skin. A versatile veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades that slice and chop your fruits and veggies for you. It cuts down your food prep time by a LOT, making it a huge relief for when you have guests coming over and you didn't know making stir fry could take that long. A Bio-Oil because it's made with vitamins A and E, chamomile, sunflower, and lavender oils to help fade scars and stretch marks while helping your skin retain moisture and achieve a more even tone. One reviewer even compares this stuff to sorcery. A TBH *too* nice Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop — that's right, it does both at the same time. The things we get excited about as adults, am I right? It always uses clean water for mopping (dirty water goes in a separate tank) *and* is safe to use on sealed hard floors. It also retains 90% of dirty water, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. Take THAT, regular mops. A set of Wonder Hangers to really and truly maximize all the extra space in your closet (even if it doesn't *look* like there's any extra space 😬). And bonus! They come fully assembled, so all you gotta do is hang them in your closet and go buy cute new tops to fill them with. A tomato table lamp because it's less than half the cost of the Urban Outfitters version (which is always here today, gone tomato), and reviewers think it's even better! This is sure to be the center of attention next time you host a get-together. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller, which picks up all your fur baby's (and your!) hair — zero struggle! It's a fan fave and requires no adhesives, sticky tape, or batteries to clean up after your furry family member. Seriously, this deserves ALL the rounds of appaws. A cruelty-free butter gloss that has a hydrating, shiny gleam that *won't* hold strands of your hair hostage. The only downside? You'll probably have a super hard time choosing from their dozens of gorgeous shades that range from subtle to bold! A high-pressure rainfall showerhead with a stainless-steel finish that's sleek and a rainwater feature that's gonna be ooh-so-soothing. Now, you can relax under the "rainwater" and let your mind wander as you re-create that one iconic scene from The Notebook. A pack of stain-removing, nontoxic cleaning cups — just what your single-serving coffee maker needs before it's time for dessert! It flushes out all of the residue that's been making your coffee taste a little... weird. Pop one in and brew as if you were making your go-to hot drink, then brew again without the cup to rinse it out. Now all that's left to do is *sips coffee* ~enjoy~. A nongreasy hair wax stick with a whopping 29,000 5-star reviews, aka the quickest and easiest way to tame flyaways and smooth edges without weighing down your entire look with globs of gel or spraying on layers of crunchy hairspray. Simply glide the stick directly along your hair for mess-free application and all-day staying power. A scrunchie/towel hybrid because reviewers are raving about as an alternative to the heat damage caused by drying tools. Plus, it's wayyy better than a heavy towel (especially when you're trying to get ready with wet hair)! A tattoo aftercare salve that more than 13,000 reviewers swear by — it's made with a creamy formula to help moisturize your beloved ink and enhance its vibrancy. This game-changing salve is enriched with almond oil to improve the tone and texture, as well as shea and cocoa butter to hydrate and add a subtle sheen. It's useful for both old and new tats, colored art or just black ink, *and* it'll work for all skin tones, too. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner, which is likely to become your BFF when it comes to tackling the toughest stains in your home. This little machine's strong spray and suction can easily remove spots, stains, and odors. Use it in your car too — it's compact and portable! A bed canopy to make your space feel airy and bright in the midst of the summer heat. Reviewers also enjoy entwining them with fairy lights for some twinkly prettiness at night!

Promising review: "OK guys. Here's the deal. This is gonna be a long review but TLDR; this is an amazing little product and I highly recommend it. I suffer from mild insomnia and generally have to use sleep aids, which is fine but not ideal for every night. I also moved from SoCal to Washington state a year ago and I have NEVER been exposed to so little sunlight in my life! Living in the dark winters here is insanely difficult for me. This👏🏼Little👏🏼Alarm👏🏼Clock👏🏼 Has changed my life and I've only had it for like three weeks. The sleepy time setting has the ability to KNOCK me out without the use of sleep aids! What?! My brain totally responds to the way the light functions. The morning alarm is so gentle and peaceful (you can completely control the noise and brightness settings). I wake up much more naturally rather than to the blaring honk or passive-aggressive chiming of a traditional alarm (looking at you, Apple). The light settings are so fun as well! I love having it on a low setting in while I'm journaling, reading, watching tv, anything really! I would pay two or three times the price for this thing. It's 100% worth it." —KatieMGet it from Amazon for $32.88+ (available with a white or wood base).

A must-have." —NHA4wineGet it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two sizes). A low profile, easy-to-install bladeless LED ceiling fan that's quiet, powerful, and somehow looks like it belongs in a spaceship. Your home just leveled up.
