From a fresh set of press-on nails to a life-changing bidet attachment, go ahead and splurge on yourself.
1. Some extra-large, fizzy aromatherapy bath bombs created with Epsom salt and kaolin clay to deliver a nice, moisturizing soak. Each one is infused with a different essential oil that helps elevate your bath to spa-quality levels. It's also just nice to enjoy the little things... like pretty, foamy bathwater.

Promising review:"I have been using bath bombs for years. I've used cheap brands, drugstore brands, luxury brands (Lush, YL) and more. This box gives all bath bombs I've tried a run for the money! The packaging was super cute and totally giftable. I was really impressed at the quality of the bath bomb itself too (I used Heal tonight) and I love that this uses natural essential oils. ... This bomb gave me the most serene experience and they are HUGE! At least double the size of ones I've used before. Comparable to the size of Lush bombs. I will definitely purchase this box again when I run out and honestly it's a great price at a little more than $2 apiece. You really can't beat it!" — Heather H

Amazon, www.amazon.com
My coworker Heather Braga has this to say about Otherland Candles:"I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the US."

This little gadget allows you to fill your waffles with basically anything you want, while still taking the same time to cook as a regular waffle! 😭
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling
Get it from Amazon for $48.49.
4. An ultra-hydrating overnight collagen sheet mask, which takes getting your beauty sleep to a whole new level. After a few hours, the mask will become transparent once your skin has absorbed all the skin-loving ingredients designed to tighten your pores, hydrate deep below the surface, and deliver a brightened complexion.
Promising review: "OK, this is one of the best masks I've used!! I was skeptical about keeping it overnight, but it just stays on. It's very moisturizing but not greasy or oily. Fragrance free. My face feels amazing — so bright and kinda snatched! I was skeptical, but this product is great. Can't wait to use it during travel — it's gonna be perfect for the long flights. So so good! Try it!" — LLL

5. A set of Glamnetic's press-on nails in case there's zero time to book an appointment, but you want to switch up your signature mani. These stunning sets are designed to be shaped and applied in minutes, and they're reusable for the next time you find yourself ~short~ on time!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each kit includes 30 nails in 15 sizes, nail glue, a double-sided nail file, a cuticle stick, and an alcohol pad. Nails can be worn for up to two weeks and are reusable and waterproof!
Promising review:" I am obsessed with the Glamnetics press-ons. The last salon trip I paid close to $90 for a set that lasted me just shy of two weeks. Glamnetics nails seem to last me on average 7–10 days, and I can get two sets out of one box. I follow the included prep instructions to the letter, and have no issues. I've tried press-ons in the past and found them flimsy, tacky, and prone to breaking or just falling off. Glamnetics feel incredibly similar to acrylic for me. Maybe a bit lighter. But they feel sturdy, no bending. I included a photo of the set, "Caviar." The short almond styles are my favorite. I get more compliments on my nails than I ever have, and the girls are usually surprised when I tell them they're press-ons. The color on the tipped sets do tend to fade off, but it's only a slight bother. Regardless, I love this brand for providing such a cute cost-effective option to make my hands look salon-level pretty." — Ali J.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 45 styles).

Get it from Cosmic Drip Creation on Etsy for $16.
7. A bottle of truffle seasoning — something that users swear is worth gate-keeping because it offers the delicious taste at a fraction of the price of those fancy ones at the market. It's so good that you'll end up bragging like, "Truffles? Oh, I put that ish on everything, no biggie."
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord had to say:"*wheezes in truffle* Okay, I bought this on a whim because there's a sushi place down the street from me that makes truffle avocado sushi rolls and I was like, I need these in my life, but I also need money to live. I decided to DIY it with a regular $4 avocado roll and this seasoning and the umami bliss of it all basically exploded my brain. Since then I've tried it on eggs, on burritos, on potatoes, on chocolate mug cakes, pretty much every sweet and savory thing I can think of. The best part is you really get an excellent bang for your buck — it's so flavorful that I've been using this for months now and have barely made a dent in the container!"
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
8. A pair of lined Crocs featuring a fuzzy, warm interior that makes this the perfect seasonal swap for your classic clogs when the temperature drops. You were probably already wearing Crocs year-round, but with these, your toes will be extra toasty when you go to check the mailbox!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I work from home and was looking for the perfect comfortable shoe. These Crocs were perfect because they are lined for extra coziness but also if I need to go out to the store or get to the mail. They are durable for outside. Love them!" — Brooklyn Whitesides

10. A set of eight adorable flower-shaped claw clips to help do away with any remaining winter blues by pinning your hair back with a bright, oversized blossom.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
These claw clips seem to work for all types of hair, but reviewers with thicker hair especially love it.
Promising reviews:" These are genuinely the best claw clips I've ever owned! They are sturdy, hold lots of hair at once, and the finish has held up really well. The assortment of colors applies to lots of different outfits, and I've had fun wearing them all! I would 10/10 recommend!!" — Amber Seeker

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight color combinations).
11. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper, slicer, and spiralizer that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. If you've ever dreamed of having a sous chef while you meal prep, this will do pretty much the same thing and doesn't require hiring someone to do it for you!
The chopper comes with a small-dice blade, a large-dice blade, a spiral blade, and a ribbon-blade, which are interchangeable! It even boasts a lid with a built-in chopper and a storage container to hold the prepped food! Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Fullstar is a small business that specializes in unique and functional kitchen gadgets.
Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in five styles and four colors — make sure to clip the $5 off coupon to get this price!).
12. A down-alternative pillow-top mattress pad — an extra thick topper for your mattress designed with breathable cotton for cooling and deep pockets to make sure it stays put while you sleep. Your mattress and sleep routine deserve an upgrade, and this will make it feel like you're snoozing happily on cloud nine.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Whoa, this thing is amazing. I have a very expensive, firm mattress that I bought when I was younger. The mattress is still in good shape, so I didn't want to get rid of it. The firm thing just wasn't working for me anymore. I had a foam mat but it still was too hard. So I got this, put this over the foam mat and it's like a new mattress. I slept like a rock last night. Haven't slept that well in a long time. I also like that it's attached to the mattress pad, so it's not sliding all over. It slept very cool, I'm assuming that's because is cotton. Highly recommend if you're looking to fix a mattress and not have to spend money on a new one." — Julie
Get it from Amazon for $76.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king and four colors).
13. A longline padded tank with a supportive and versatile design to wear from your morning pilates class to brunch afterwards with the besties! And it's so lightweight, you'll be comfortable wearing it solo at home or layered up on the go.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
And according to reviewers it's an affordable alternative to your fave Lululemon top at a fraction of the price!
Promising review:"All the positive reviews are true, this is a really great top! I will only buy premium workout leggings, but have been looking into more affordable tops and stumbled across this one. I really didn't expect to love it as much as I do. The fabric is soft and very thick, the cut is great, and it offers enough support for DD/DDD for casual wear and stretching/mobility sessions." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors).
14. A huggable banana duck plush toy because sometimes your mood really is, "Yeah, I deserve a little something," and an impulse buy is totally warranted! This lil' guy is bound to get you through some hard days whenever you give 'em a good squeeeeeeeeze!

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in six other scents).

www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: " I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff 🩷" — Losa

18. A plush faux-fur area rug if you want to add a luxe accent to any room that's super cozy and looks like you dropped a lot of dough, but in reality... well, no one needs to know where you got it. 😉
Amazon
Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these, and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have a cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside, too." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in six sizes and eight colors).
19. The newest, most compact Kindle, because this upgraded version is faster and brighter than its formers, with a battery life that can last up to six weeks on a single charge. Plus, it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, so you can read your favorite books on the fly (literally) and pack it away in everything from your everyday purse to your carry-on luggage. It also features a glare-free screen, so you can read outside without any issues!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This is such a great Kindle! It's lightweight, the perfect size for going in a purse or bag, and the matcha is SUCH a great color. I already have a Paperwhite SE that I love, so I decided to get this Kindle for travel purposes. The battery life isn't as great as my Paperwhite, but it still lasts me a while with daily reading! It fits perfectly in my hands and makes reading very comfortable. The only thing it is missing is the warm light option, but that is not a deal breaker for me. If you are looking for a lightweight and comfortable Kindle, this is the one for you." — Christine Heath
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in black and matcha, and with or without an ad lock screen).
20. The cult-favorite Laneige lip sleeping mask that's earned over 37,000 5-star ratings from customers who've transformed their dry, chapped lips by using this overnight balm. A hydrating blend of coconut oil, shea butter, and murumuru seed butter helps soften lips, but there's also a glossy finish in case you ever want to wear it out!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer uses this product, and here's what she has to say:"I use this lip mask all the time! If I have severely dry lips, I'll reach for my Aquaphor lip repair (also a holy grail), but for everyday use, this mask is great — I even use it in the daytime, too! The shine is pretty enough for Zoom meetings, too!"
Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE! I am pretty sure I have postpartum chapped/dry lips because of breastfeeding. I never had this issue of having to deal with chapped lips. I literally tried lip scrubs, balms, Vaseline even, and nothing worked, but I am gonna be honest, the first time I used this product, I literally saw instant results overnight! I know I can be on a little pricy side, but if you want to get your chapped/dry lips taken care of, PLEASE buy this product; it's HANDS-DOWN THE BEST!!!" — Abdullah S.
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in five colors/scents).

Promising review: "Click buy now. Just do it. You are gonna want these in black and maybe every other color too. After wearing them a few times, I am hooked and very confident when I say that YOU WANT THESE! Even if you are on the fence and not overly impressed as soon as you open the package, just put them on. Walk around for a little bit, maybe walk past your significant other (or a full-length mirror), and hear the praise! Then, you will understand!! These are confidence-boosting and booty essentials! I need more!" — Briar
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS—XXL, four inseam styles, and 27 colors).

www.amazon.com, Amazon
The diffuser has timer settings for one, three, and six hours or continuous running (about 8–10 hours before needing to refill the water reservoir). It's whisper quiet and can also be used as a humidifier (without an aroma) and night-light!
According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA.
Promising review:"This really is a game changer for my space, it covers a really large area and smells so good. Plus this holds so much water. This is the perfect size to sit on the end table in the family room. You can hardly tell it's there, but when you, do it's a beautiful display." — Customer
Get it from Amazon for $48.99 (available in two styles — make sure to clip the $9 off coupon on the product page for this price!).
23. A JW Pei scrunched baguette bag — you deserve a new bag that can be taken and shown off everywhere. The color options make a big statement, and it might be small, but it's still big enough to hold your go-to gloss and any numbers you leave the gathering with... 👀
Amazon, www.amazon.com
JW Pei is a Chinese-American- and family-owned small business offering an assortment of high-fashion bags created with vegan leather and recycled plastic.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has this and raves: "When I started seeing this new 'It bag' all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it's less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a nice faux suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable 'scrunchie' design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it's a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, mask, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!"

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Did I mention it folds away for storage?
Promising review:"This Bambüsi Bathtub Tray Table is really good quality and is very flexible on size. Our tub only has a 1/2" lip on one side but this tray rests on it and doesn't move due to the rubber base. It stays securely where you need it, but isn't hard to move. There is plenty of room for a drink, book, phone, washcloth, etc." — Kerri Durham
Get it from Amazon for $27.88+ (available in four styles).
25. A shower phone holder, so you can continue watching your favorite Twitch stream or Real Housewives reunion without having to pause in order to bathe, LOL. Imagine winding down for a candle-lit tub soak and being able to watch your shows on the shower wall!

26. A top-rated Cuisinart ice cream maker, which only requires adding your preferred ingredients, pressing "on", and this innovative appliance will churn up to two quarts of ready-to-eat frozen goodness. Over 15,000 5-star rating customers are happy and satisfied with their homemade sorbet, frozen yogurt, and/or ice cream creations.
It comes with replacement lid, a double-insulated freezer bowl, a paddle, instructions, and a recipe book to help get you started.
Promising review:"This is my first ice cream maker. I had been looking into getting one for a while and was suckered into getting this one from all of the positive reviews. I'm happy to report that I was not disappointed. The machine is a little noisy, but that's the only drawback that I can really think of. The first ice cream we tried to make was a twist on Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream made from real cherries and dark chocolate chips. The ice cream froze well and was absolutely delicious. Since then we've also made blueberry cheesecake with a graham cracker twist running through it and a chocolate brownie that didn't last two nights! Either way, it makes fantastic ice cream that you can make as you want, and overall it's much cheaper than constantly buying pints of ice cream in the store. Definitely worth the price and I would definitely recommend it." — Krasava M.

Promising review: "I have been using the OG Tushy Classic for the past three years. It completely changed my life. No longer was I a slave to the endless and futile cycle of wiping until mostly clean. If the Classic was an evolution, the Spa 3.0 was an ascension. I have now experienced what it means to be a complete and whole human being. The 3.0 brings with it a whole host of new and refined features. The temperature controls are a fundamental game changer and my reason for upgrading. I cannot recommend this product highly enough." — Brady K

31. A weird U-shaped full-body pillow — but hear me out — this ergonomic pillow offers support to your back, legs, belly, and hips, so you can use it in limited ways to get comfortable as you nap, watch TV, sleep, and more.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: " I am not pregnant but I do have back issues. This is great for side sleepers to get some extra support. I no longer wake up with back pain it's great. My only wish is that the short side were actually a bit longer. If I turn in the night I lose the part between my knees and get a little out of alignment, I have to wrap the long side back in from behind me to continue to have it between my knees for my hips and lower back..." — Maryann M.
" This pillow is worth the splurge. It holds its shape well— even under a weighted blanket. I'm 19 weeks pregnant and have been waking up in the middle of the night since 16 weeks with round ligament pain, and knew I needed a new pillow situation. I had a body pillow but this is far superior. No more waking up in pain in the middle of the night. Size is perfect for me— at 5'2' and it doesn't move around in the middle of the night even though I do. Has many ways to use it, so it should work however you need to position it. The thickness is perfect imho. I got the cooling cover and that has been excellent for night sweats, I'll sweat wherever I'm not touching the pillow. Great buy, would splurge on it again. Using about a week and half to two weeks now." — Rachel Albers
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 12 colors and two styles).
32. A pajama set so luxuriously soft, you might "accidentally" wear it out of the house to run errands or pick up takeout. There's nothing wrong with trying to become a bear and hibernate all winter, and this seems like the proper first step on the road to a life of comfort.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"BEST PAJAMAS EVER! These are the softest, coziest pajamas I have ever put on. I love them SO MUCH. They are pricey, but I never want to take these off." — Rachel Riggs

Promising reviews:"My entire family and I are extremely satisfied with the Bartesian cocktail machine. I bought this in late November but could not provide a review as this was a family Christmas gift. When it was finally unwrapped and opened up, everyone was surprised, excited, and wanted a drink. With six adults in the family, we all had our favorite. I bought six different cocktail mixes (cosmopolitan, whisky sour, sex on the beach, rum breeze, uptown rocks, and Long Island iced tea). We tried them all, and every cocktail turned out fantastic!! I would recommend this machine to anyone who enjoys quality cocktails." — Doug

As LIV arrives in Virginia, Bryson DeChambeau is its entertainer-in-chief
Bryson DeChambeau's relentless devotion to his craft has become the stuff of legend among peers, who describe the LIV Golf star's work habits as near maniacal. Even when not on the range, the self-proclaimed perfection seeker often is assessing how he can elevate his practice regimen. That attention to preparation and execution has contributed to DeChambeau's two U.S. Open titles, including last year at Pinehurst. It hasn't, however, interfered with another responsibility DeChambeau embraces with similar gusto. As much as winning occupies a wide berth in his headspace, so, too, does being a showman. Forays into that realm have transformed the renegade from the PGA Tour, where he had been a divisive figure, into a social media sensation, with millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. His YouTube channel has north of 2 million subscribers. DeChambeau's visibility on such platforms is virtually unmatched in the sport. 'Did I ever think it would get this big?' he said during a pretournament news conference ahead of this week's LIV event at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. 'I had no clue. I really had no idea. Is it now an incredible responsibility? Yes, and I understand that. I want to continue to entertain my fans and continue to play the great game of golf that we all love at the highest level. 'I want to compete, and I want to entertain. Those are the two things I love doing, and it's quite an honor.' Count the president of the United States among his admirers. Earlier this week, DeChambeau visited the White House and, at the urging of President Donald Trump, hit balls on the South Lawn, turning the swath of property into a makeshift par-3. A video of the moment posted by an official White House account on X has been viewed close to 900,000 times. Another viral moment came when DeChambeau traveled to Utah, where he posted to his YouTube channel a video with the tongue-in-cheek title, 'Day in the life of a recreational golfer …' Highlights included flying in a helicopter to a mountain range to hit balls and doing the same at the Bonneville Salt Flats several hours west of Provo. The 63-second clip has generated almost 1 million views. One of DeChambeau's most viewed TikTok videos came in November, five months after outlasting Rory McIlroy by one stroke at the U.S. Open. In the post, which has garnered 1.5 million likes, DeChambeau used a wedge to hit over the roof of his home onto a green in his backyard, needing 134 swings before collecting an ace that triggered a cap-tossing celebratory sprint to retrieve the ball. 'I've always seen this side of him, this playful, fun side, intelligent side, interesting side of him,' said Phil Mickelson, the six-time major champion who departed the PGA Tour for LIV three years ago. 'Since he has really dove into the YouTube space, now everybody gets to see it because he's able to showcase that and not have it filtered by a middle person. … It's been remarkable to see the evolution of that and the way the public has responded to him, because he's always been like that. It just hasn't been able to get noticed, I guess, properly.' Still, the mere mention of DeChambeau can roil PGA Tour loyalists. Some have cast him as a turncoat since he bailed for the Saudi-financed circuit that seeks to disrupt traditional golf norms with 54-hole tournaments in which there are no cuts and team as well as individual competitions. DeChambeau sparked more controversy at this year's Masters after telling reporters that McIlroy, who won his first green jacket to complete a career grand slam, did not speak with him while they played together during the closing round. McIlroy's sports psychologist, the famed Bob Rotella, indicated during a subsequent radio interview with the BBC that the decision not to engage with DeChambeau was strategic and not intended as a personal slight. Also in the aftermath, Padraig Harrington, a three-time major winner, and analyst Brandel Chamblee were critical of DeChambeau. None of that has mattered to DeChambeau's legion of fans who clamor for his autograph at tournaments. DeChambeau reciprocates by signing and posing for pictures before and after each round. He said he plans more of the same this week while also getting his game and mind right for next week's U.S. Open at Oakmont, among the most demanding venues that have hosted the tournament. DeChambeau is aiming to become the first back-to-back winner at the U.S. Open since Brooks Koepka, also on the LIV tour, did so in 2017 and 2018. 'I feel like Bryson is somebody that changes and tries new things every time, which I feel like there's nothing wrong with that,' said Joaquín Niemann, who leads the individual LIV standings, with DeChambeau second. 'You can learn a lot from new experiences. Obviously, he's different. He's way different than me, way different than anybody. The way he approaches the game is completely different, which I feel like is unique, and in his way, it works for him.'

Kylie Jenner Shared Her Exact Boob Job Details — Here's What They Mean
Kylie Jenner used to be secretive about her plastic surgery procedures and tweakments—who can forget when she denied lip filler rumors up until 2015? But now that Jenner is older and society's views on cosmetic surgery have changed, the Khy founder has turned into an open book. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Case in point: A fan recently took to TikTok to ask Jenner about the details behind her breast augmentation. 'Girl, please can you just tell us what it is that you asked for when you had your boobs done,' the TikToker Rachel Leary said in a video. She goes on to call it the most 'perfect, natural-looking boob job ever.' Jenner herself commented on the TikTok with the details: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!! Silicone!!! Garth Fisher!!! Hope this helps lol.' If you're wondering what exactly that means—for your own knowledge or because you're hoping to take Jenner's words to your plastic surgeon—we spoke with a few experts to break it all down. '445 cc is the size, measured by volume,' says John Diaz, MD, a Beverly Hills-based board-certified plastic surgeon. 'A 'cc' means cubic centimeters.' A large implant is often considered to be anything over 400 cc, so 445 cc is a fairly substantial augmentation. While it can't be directly translated to a new cup size (as it depends what you're starting with), you can expect a 445 cc implant to add close to two cup sizes to your initial breast volume. When you're getting a breast augmentation, the 'profile' is how much the implant juts out from your chest while you're standing. 'When it comes to profiles, there are different types, such as low, moderate, and high, which are decided upon based on the patient's anatomy and the goal they're trying to achieve,' explains Lyle Leipziger, MD, chief of plastic surgery at North Shore University Hospital and LIJ Medical Center. A moderate profile breast implant is typically considered one of the most natural profiles to get, and will have slightly more projection than a low-profile implant but look more natural than some of the higher-profile options. 'Many breast augmentations today are dual plane, meaning part under the muscle and part under the lower breast tissue,' Leipziger adds. In a dual plane breast augmentation, the upper part of the breast implant is inserted below the pectoral muscle, while the lower part is just under the breast tissue. 'Half under the muscle' is considered one of the most natural-looking placement methods. When Jenner says 'silicone,' she's talking about the material of the implant she used. There are many different options, including saline implants (which are filled with salt water), gummy bear implants (which are thicker than traditional silicone implants), and silicone implants (which Jenner has). Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel and are meant to feel the most like natural breast tissue. 'This implant is likely an Allergan implant, which is the most common implant used at our facility,' says Oren Tepper, MD, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Greenwich Street 497. 'One of the advantages of Allergan implants are the three cohesive [silicone] gel options, which provide a natural feel and look, and the wide range of options provided, which can be tailored to each patient's specific anatomy.' Word to the wise: If you want silicone implants too, you may need to have more check-ups with your doctor to get an MRI to make sure the silicone isn't leaking into your body. In a world where plastic surgery is becoming increasingly common, Jenner's transparency is perhapsrefreshing—and makes talking to your own plastic surgeon about what you want just a little bit easier.

This Korean Shampoo Doubles As Hair Perfume & Actually Delivers Results
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. As someone who doesn't get a trim as often as she should (I'm growing my hair out, okay?), I expect a lot from my humble shampoo and conditioner. I want them to cleanse my scalp and strands of the daily lashings of dry shampoo, not to mention smooth frizz, minimise split ends, boost shine and make my lengths smell incredible. I don't think that's a tall order, especially given how far haircare tech has come. But it's my job to test these products out, and you'd be surprised how many brands underdeliver. So when I heard that Kundal — Korea's number one shampoo brand — had just landed at Boots, I sat up, took note, and headed straight to TikTok to see what all the fuss was about. While Korea's skincare continues to enjoy the spotlight, it's now haircare's turn to shine, with Kundal taking centre stage. On TikTok, the hashtag #Kundal now has over 17.3K posts and counting, many racking up tens of thousands of views, likes and comments. The consensus? It's one of the best-smelling — yes, smelling — hair brands out there. According to the brand's legions of fans, hair perfume has nothing on Kundal's shampoo range, which features fragrances like White Musk (clean, soft, and powdery), Cherry Blossom (lightly floral and refreshing) and Violet Muguet (sweet and slightly green). There are also matching conditioning treatments, a scalp tonic and a post-wash serum, all of which smell just as good. In fact, some are even filming themselves 'blind' reviewing the collection based on scent alone. It seems the most popular scent is White Musk — a warm 'skin scent' with a spicy, intimate edge. As luck would have it, White Musk was the fragrance that landed on my desk, namely the Honey & Macadamia Shampoo White Musk, £14.99, and the Honey & Macadamia Protein Treatment White Musk, £14.99. It's not all hype — they do smell incredible. Hours after using the shampoo and treatment, my partner walked into a bathroom that smelled like a high-end spa. He was convinced I'd spritzed on perfume before bed. Nope, just my hair. Ask any fragrance obsessive how to smell good all day, and I bet they'll recommend a hair perfume. Unlike regular fragrance sprayed on skin or clothes, hair perfume really lingers, and the natural movement of your lengths means you catch heavenly wafts throughout the day. But here's the thing: A lot of them contain alcohol, which can be drying on already parched or fragile strands. The beauty of Kundal's hair collection is that it's not all scent over substance; the incredible fragrance is suspended in a handful of nourishing ingredients. I'll start with the shampoo. The ingredients list boasts an abundance of smoothing, shine-enhancing plant oils, including coconut, avocado, macadamia and jojoba oils. Then there's ultra-moisturising shea butter to reduce dryness and frizz, plus mild surfactants like lauryl hydroxysultaine to cleanse the scalp and strands without stripping. Don't underestimate it, though. The lather is rich and creamy, and I only need to shampoo once, rather than twice like usual. My hair always feels light and clean, not weighed down or greasy. It's been two days since I last washed my hair, and I can still smell the subtle, powdery, musky scent on my strands. Then there's the protein treatment, a favourite among people with all hair types — especially those with type 4 natural hair, who love its moisturizing benefits. One content creator even called it ' life-saving ' for her curls. I have fine hair, but a lot of it, and I use the treatment as a conditioner, letting it work its magic for around five minutes. As the name suggests, the star ingredients are proteins, particularly hydrolyzed soy protein, hydrolyzed keratin, and silk amino acids. Certified trichologist Angela Onuoha had previously told me that, in haircare, proteins are considered a type of conditioning agent, and that every hair type can benefit from them to help protect and temporarily repair hair from heat damage and environmental stressors like harsh weather and pollution. @thatssotrending I'm on a healthy hair journey. @KUNDAL US is making it easier for the natural hair community. My type 4 hair felt so good after using these products! 💜💜💜 #kundalxbeautyko #kundal #naturalhairtiktok #type4hair #curlyhairproducts #washday #healthyhairjourney #haircare #haircareproducts #koreanbeauty ♬ original sound - Jacobdior Onuoha explained that most proteins latch onto the surface of hair strands, forming a protective film that smooths the hair shaft. The result? Softer, shinier-looking hair. The proteins in this treatment are 'hydrolysed' — essentially broken down into smaller molecules. Onuoha also noted that hydrolysed proteins can potentially penetrate the hair shaft to help strengthen it from within, offering further protection against damage. I judge a treatment by how it makes my hair feel when I rinse it out, and I was surprised by how silky it was, not to mention how easily it disappeared. Most treatments leave behind a greasy residue, but this felt more like a lightweight conditioner that left my hair — especially my very split ends — feeling soft and looking a hell of a lot healthier. Of course, a good hair oil helps, too. I absolutely love Kérastase Gloss Absolu Glaze Drops Hair Oil, £38.80, and while it's the most expensive product in my routine, a little goes a very long way. Speaking of price, I was surprised to learn that Kundal's 500ml shampoo and treatment are just £14.99 each. Suppose you're using one pump of each — my maths is a little rusty, but I think that works out to around 6p per pump. Considering the incredible fragrance, not to mention the megamix of expert-approved ingredients, I'd say the brand is well worth the money. Better still, it's available on the high street at Boots. My advice? Grab a shampoo and treatment duo before they sell out — and if TikTok's fragrance enthusiasts have anything to do with it, they certainly will.
