Picture This: The raw speed of a high-octane world
Formula 1: The Impossible Collection (2nd Edition) by Brad Spurgeon (Assouline £1150, 228pp) The ultimate form of motor sport deserves the ultimate book to justly pay it tribute. Assouline, as part of their aptly named 'Ultimate Collection', have crafted such an homage. Brad Spurgeon has found a perfect balance in offsetting the notorious glitz and glamour of the multi-billion dollar sport, with the raw talent and physicality exhibited by the drivers. Throughout every race they undergo extreme heat and G-force. You would be hard pressed to find a post-race interview that doesn't involve a driver dripping in sweat. When cockpit temperatures can reach 60 degrees it is no surprise that some racers lose 3-4 percent of their body weight over the course of a race, just through sweat. Yet, the craftsmanship of engineering is paramount to the success of any car that makes its way to the F1 grid. It is just the same for this newly released second edition. Handcrafted with a luxury yellow PVC clamshell case and paper infused with the scent of rubber, this book is more than pages bound between covers. It is a sensory experience that evokes the experience of being on track, although thankfully without the screeching tyres. Racing from the first ever F1 race, held at Silverstone and won by Giuseppe Farina, a former cavalry officer, to the famed rivalries of Nikki Lauda and James Hunt, and Ayrton Senna and Alan Prost, all the way up to the modern age, this beautiful book is a testament to the sport's impressive history. Racers like Bruce McLaren, Damon Hill, Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton fill the pages. While the rise and fall of iconic teams play out in almost operatic fashion. Over 100 moments, Spurgeon explores the evolution of the finely tuned machine Formula 1 has become. How, under the care of Bernie Ecclestone, the sport became the sensation it is now. Throughout, the hedonism of victory, the tragedy of death and the unfailing effort put into every second of a lap is palpable. Senna once said, 'you'll never know how a driver feels when he wins a race. The helmet hides unfathomable emotions.' I would argue that this book is as close as you will get.

Explore the Soul of Santo Domingo
Assouline has been creating gorgeous coffee-table books since the '90s, spanning everything from fashion and travel to art and design. So it's no surprise that for their latest travel book they chose to profile this fascinating destination. As the cultural and entertainment epicenter of the region, Santo Domingo has birthed legends like designer Oscar de la Renta and continues to shape the global arts and music landscape. From bohemian cafés to world-class dining, cutting-edge fashion to global music festivals, the city is a melting pot of creativity and a beacon of Caribbean culture. This book also comes at a pivotal time for the cosmopolitan city, as the Dominican Republic continues to evolve as a luxury destination with several world-class resorts also on the horizon, including two new St. Regis resorts, as well as properties from Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and The Ritz-Carlton set to open in the next year. Brendon Cook/ The book features more than 200 dazzling illustrations, including contributions from David Collado, minister of tourism of the Dominican Republic, and cultural expert Rosanna Rivera, with photography by Aline Coquelle, offering a detailed exploration of the city's historical and cultural significance. Collado begins the book with the thought: 'My city, a vibrant landscape, is a mulatto: It weaves together the tapestry of colonial history, the towering modernity of grand structures, the enchanting beauty of the sea, the Caribbean's aromatic allure, and the pulse of industrial progress…To traverse its streets it to relive each of its triumphs.' Ample history and context is provided by Rivera, a Dominican journalist and writer with more than 30 years of experience as head of communications and publications at Listín Diario, the most prestigious newspaper in the Dominican Republic. She chronicles the city's founding in 1498 by Bartholomew Columbus (brother of Christopher) to the city's bustling modern moments. 'Santo Domingo is a land created for the delight of poets and lovers of culture,' Rivera writes. 'Every nook and cranny exudes the history of a glorious past.'

Saudi Princess Noura bint Faisal's Assouline book lets you bring royal heritage home
Fashion has always been political, but rarely does a coffee table book feel like a revolution. Costumes of Saudi Arabia: A Heritage of Fashion, the lavish new Assouline release by Her Highness Princess Noura bint Faisal Al Saud, is more than a collector's item. It's a tangible piece of royal legacy, designed to take pride of place in the homes of those who appreciate art, history, and the quiet power of cultural reclamation. The book is co-authored with Sian Tichar, features photography by Laziz Haman. Imagine your living room adorned with this weighty, clamshell-cased volume, its pages alive with the rich textiles and intricate embroidery of Saudi Arabia's five regions, each garment a silent storyteller of trade, tribe, and tradition. This is not just decor; it's an heirloom in the making, a conversation starter that speaks to a heritage the world has long misunderstood. Princess Noura, a visionary in Saudi Arabia's fashion renaissance and the architect of Saudi Fashion Week, hasn't just curated a book but has crafted an experience. Flipping through its 192 pages feels like receiving a private audience with history. The heavy matte paper, the arresting photography by Laziz Hamani, the careful documentation of pieces rescued from family archives, and every detail whispers exclusivity. This is the kind of tome you display prominently, the kind that signals to guests that your taste extends beyond the superficial. What makes it extraordinary is its intimacy. Unlike sterile museum catalogs, Costumes of Saudi Arabia thrums with life. The pink and silver bridal ensemble from Makkah, the thick wool coats of the north, the embroidered kohl pouches, these aren't relics behind glass. They're heirlooms pulled from trunks and private collections, many photographed for the first time. To own this book is to possess a fragment of that access, a connection to a narrative that has been meticulously preserved, and now, generously shared. And then there's the subversion. For years, Saudi fashion was flattened into a monochrome cliché. Princess Noura and her co-author, Siân Tichař, dismantle that illusion with every page. The vibrant palettes, the daring silhouettes, the intricate beadwork – they all testify to a culture that has always been dynamic. Assouline's signature gold-embossed spine ensures it will stand out on your shelf, but its true luxury lies in what it represents. It is a rare bridge between royal curation and personal enjoyment. Swipe through to get a glimpse of the book – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images & Feature Image: Supplied

Amazon Promising review: "On days when everything seems like a dumpster fire, it brings me a little joy to glance down and see this cute little desktop item. The paper flames are cute but fairly tiny for notes, but they would do the trick if necessary.

I really like that the dumpster lids can open and close." — jigglypuff Get it from Amazon for $13.71 (available in two other styles). 15.

Promising review:"I was a little unsure what to expect during assembly, but once it came together, I found it really sturdy.

It looks really awesome as well!" — Leeeez Get it from Amazon for $116.59+ (available in eight colors and two-packs). 19. A wall-mounted macrame cap holder for displaying your vast cap collection while making it easier than ever to access the exact style you want. Remember the bad old days?

I love how it fits all my hats." — Brooklynn Richards Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in multipacks). 20. A discreet humidifier and oil diffuser designed to resemble a regular ol' potted plant when not in use. And it's a night-light?! What a time to be alive.

You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising review:"This diffuser is so pretty, and it lasts for hours! I am thinking about purchasing another one for the bedroom." — Tina Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three styles). 21.

If you're looking for a safe and beautiful set, I highly recommend this product!" — Peggy Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in packs of 5, 7, 9, and 10). 22. A secret litter box enclosure so you can hide away the single worst thing about owning a cat and pass it off as a flourishing (faux) plant. Promising review: "After four different styles of litter boxes, this one is the winner! More space than most standard boxes and is super easy to take apart and clean. The plant is realistic, and the pebbles it comes with weigh down the top fairly well. Great find, great price." — Tyler Cutro Get it from Amazon for $89.95+ (available in three colors). 23. A minimalist flip-down hanger for a sleek storage solution that cleverly doubles as modern art when not in use. Promising review:"These hooks are functional and fun. There are five hooks for hanging your items. It's plastic, not wood — the description states this. It's easy to install and comes with a paper ruler to use as a guide when installing. I have raincoats, umbrellas, sweaters, and dog leashes hanging on it, and it's holding well." — M String Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in four colors). 24.

It's great that it includes the hook and directions to get the most out of your product. I'm super happy so far and am really impressed with the quality. Can't wait to order another one in the future!" — Hannah Lowe Get it from Eucalyptus Blooms on Etsy for $15.99+ (available in four sizes). 25.

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in 21 styles). 26. A set of silicone flower trivet mats that won't take up any valuable space in your drawers since they're totally display-worthy. Promising review:"I simply love these trivets. I used them as a decoration on my kitchen wall. When needed, I just place them on the table for my hot dishes. They clean in a breeze, and the color is great. The price is so reasonable that if I didn't need them, I still would have bought them. You will not be disappointed with this item." — redhead Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors). 27. And a customizable felt tile mosaic for a renter-friendly way to add some colorful pizzazz to your plain white walls while dampening sounds at the same time.

Felt Right is a small biz transforming single-use plastic water bottles into felt tiles that look great and dampen sound. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Taylor Steele picked these for her home: "I chose a simple design because I know myself, and anything with several angles to contend with will make my brain hurt. But I love my felted wall! It adds much-needed color and texture to my living space. What was once a dull beige wall is now a colorful mosaic! And it's super easy to install, too. Though having a friend around to help you put adhesive tabs on the backs of each felt tile is great, too." Get it from Felt Right starting at $44.66+ (available in dozens of shapes/styles).

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · These redness-reducing drops for your eyes work so fast you'll wonder if you're secretly a witch. 1. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," the latest release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape.

Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront! 2. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs with other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry. Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma.

Amazon Promising review: "The color of these books is actually more vivid and beautiful in person. I'm thrilled with how it looks on the shelf — plus it's a very good hiding spot. I would 100% recommend these for anyone looking to add color to your home." — elishiva Get a set of four from Amazon for $28.99. 4. Nuts 'N More's Chocolate Maple Pretzel Peanut Butter Spread, which just put so many beautiful words in such a small space that I am salivating just TYPING them. Whomstsoever thought up a flavor so perfectly sweet, salty, crunchy, and smooth at the same time deserves to only ever get green lights and always have their pillowcase cool. Nuts 'N More is a small business that specializes in unique peanut and almond spreads. Check out a TikTok of the spread in action. Get it from Amazon for $14.47 (available in 10 other flavors). 5. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. 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. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — 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 $11.97. 6. A TikTok-famous "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. 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 Get it from Amazon for $6.10+ (available in two styles). 7. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book). Check out a TikTok of Murdle in action. The best part?? Once you finish "Murdling," you can use your sleuthing skills on Volume 2, Volume 3, and a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books! Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" — Liz Gately Get it from Amazon for $8.71. 8. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes. Amazon 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 $18.75 (also available in pink honey!). 9. "Pocket World," an adult stress relief coloring book full of whimsical miniature Polly Pocket-esque worlds to color, with no two alike. I'm talking fairy gardens, tiny hygge-style living rooms, quirky restaurants, and more. Psst — Coco Wyo has a *ton* of other cozy stress relief coloring books with different themes in their Amazon storefront! Check out a TikTok of Coco Wyo coloring books in action. Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set. Promising review:"One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" — Ezra Johnson Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 10. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became 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. 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). 11. Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, which is basically what happens when teriyaki sauce and barbecue sauce have an absurdly delicious baby. Reviewers are obsessed with putting this umami + savory + sweet sauce on just about everything they can. Check out a TikTok of Bachan's Japanese barbecue sauce in action. Bachan's is a small business that specializes in Japanese barbecue sauces. Promising review: "Worth the hype. This is absolutely delicious and full of umami. It's so tasty on stir fry with rice and makes it taste more like hibachi. I warmed up leftover restaurant brisket in a skillet and tossed a little of this on it at the end and let it caramelize, and it was outrageously good. The flavor is hard to describe. It's savory and salty like the sauce that comes with Chinese dumplings, but not quite that. And there are notes of barbecue sauce, but not heavy or overly sweet." — John Flora Here's what BuzzFeed Contributor Jonathan Mazzei has to say about it: "I love this sauce! It's the perfect mix of savory, sweet, and spicy, and I've found that it works beautifully whether you're cooking with it or just using it as a last minute topping or dipping sauce." Get a set of two (Original + Miso from Amazon for $23.98 (available in five flavors and several combo packs). 12. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Promising review:"Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" — Briana R. "I love my new sanitizers. I had no clue they even existed until TikTok. I will definitely be ordering again." — Debra Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 13. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the magic mushroom funnel in action. Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" — Abbey Klem Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in two sizes). 14. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck so you can light all your coziest, deepest candles without worrying about the "YIKES" of being near an open flame. This is also windproof and super portable for anyone looking for options to light candles or fires outside, too! Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. Now I'm able to light candles where the candle wax has melted down, and it's hard to reach inside the jar. I also love the fact that you charge this with a USB cable, and the charge lasts for a long time. It has indicator lights to let you know how much of a charge is remaining. I've only had to charge it once since I purchased it. I Very durable and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend this." — Cassandra S. "Another product I got from TikTok. It's a necessity. No more struggling and almost burning yourself. Stays charged for days. A week at most if you use it frequently." — Nijada Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five colors and in two packs). 15. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.70. 16. A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram recently and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness. If you like highlighting your planner pages, favorite passages from books, or lines from your journal, please do yourself a favor and purchase these subtle but oh-so-sparkly colors to jazz them up ✨. 17. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 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 $7 (available in three shades). 18. A shaker of Thin Mint seasoning you need to buy as a favor to all your taste buds immediately. Allow me to paint a picture for you: Thin Mint coffee, Thin Mint pudding, Thin Mint popcorn, Thin Mint anything your dessert gremlin heart desires. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Check out a TikTok of the Thin Mint Seasoning in action. I stared at this for months online before caving and buying it, and when I tell you!! It jazzes up my morning coffee in a way that makes my little '90s baby heart sing. I've also loved it on Greek yogurt, oatmeal, and mug cakes. Plus, when I am feeling lonely for a real Thin Mint, and we're not in Girl Scout cookie season, I'll shake this on an Oreo Thin to stave off the despair. Get it from Amazon for $9.28 (and try their s'mores seasoning blend, too!). 19. A Dazzle Dry mini kit for nails that not only dry HARD in five minutes like a gel manicure, but last as long as one. If you are a busy or impatient human, or just plain sick of siphoning money into gel manicures, I BEG YOU to switch over to this. It is by far the best thing I have ever done for the health of my nails and to save myself nail-related stress and time. Dazzle Dry is a small business that specializes in nail care products. Check out a TikTok of the Dazzle Dry system in action. See that pic of the pink-nailed hand up there?? Those are my DAY SEVEN DAZZLE DRY NAILS (after just getting back from a wildly busy trip across the country, which I did a TON of apartment cleaning to prep for!). I have been using the Dazzle Dry system in salons for years now because it is the only way to get your money's worth, even if with the salon's upcharge. My nails are SO much healthier and longer now that I've quit gels completely, and this polish is so good that it often doesn't chip for 10–14 day s (and even then it's just the smallest chips). Plus I cannot shout enough about how much I love just bouncing from the salon or my couch with my nails so dry that I never have to think about them after I get them done. Get it from Amazon for $39 (available as a kit in dozens of colors; you can shop for colors individually at the Dazzle Dry storefront here). 20. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, your new favorite alternative to Dior's (discontinued!!) Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT. Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." — Smickens Get it from Amazon for $13.15 (available in 12 shades). 21. Kitsch's Zig Zag Headbands, an iconic callback to the '90s style with a chic modern update. This is designed to work for all hair types, letting you add some volume and cheeky playfulness to the rest of your look. Reviewers especially love that these don't give them headaches like other headbands! Promising review: "If you don't have this headband you need it! I haven't stopped wearing it since I bought it! I've had so many people compliment it and order one because of how simple but cute it is! I have a medium thickness of hair and It holds my hair out of my face, the quality is great and it stays put all day. Wouldn't use for working out but great for everyday wear!" — Morgan "Saw these on TikTok and knew they were worth buying. I was right love them!!!" — Debbie Ladnier Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors). 22. A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro nostalgic touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation. Amazon 23. Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.) Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you're someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I'm quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y'all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I'm happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." — nancy Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $10.99. 24. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. I've had one of these for awhile, and I love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular. Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard. Those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — Amy N. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99. 25. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that rivals the $$ prescription versions — thousands of reviewers swear by for helping restore their hair and promote healthy hair growth over time. It also includes nourishing ingredients like rosemary oil, zinc, and coconut oil to help moisturize locks and give them a fuller, more volumized look. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. Promising review:"I've had fine, thin hair my whole life, but I used to have a lot more of it. My hair has been thinning and falling out a lot. There is a prescription shampoo that is over $100, and it used to be the only thing that worked. I thought I'd give this a shot before placing another order with the pharmacy, and so far, it seems to have a similar effect, plumping and strengthening the existing strands while addressing the problems with new growth. The new fuzzies are visible again at the hairline, always a good sign." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $13.95. Psst — reviewers mention this is most effective when paired with a scalp massager to work it into their roots! 26. A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these. Amazon I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that for some reason I am always comfier in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear a legging, and I'm happy to report after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson "Saw on TikTok then found on Amazon!!!! Told all my coworkers!!!! 💙 Super soft, amazing fit." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $29 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). 28. A light-up flying orb that's basically like if an alien made a boomerang and then dropped it on Earth — it's designed to ricochet back when you throw it, so you'll feel like you're bending space and time from your own living room. Gravity WHOMST???? Promising review:"Santa left this under the tree for my 9-year-old son, and he LOVES it! So easy to use and takes only a few tries to figure out the boomerang effect! So fun, my parents, his grandparents joined in and we had a blast with it! If you are thinking about purchasing this, DO IT!! And the charge life is not bad either. Lasts long enough to give you breaks!!" — Kerri "When my son received this, he was excited! I saw this on TikTok and surprised him with it! Was not disappointed with the quality and how it worked! Will definitely purchase again!!" — Jindee Get it from Amazon for $25.60 (available in seven colors). 29. A rotating disco ball diffuser because sometimes "come on Barbie let's go party" secretly means "come on Barbie let's diffuse some citrus essential oils and try to shake off that afternoon nap." This lil' bub will give you the best of both worlds. Check out a TikTok of the disco ball in action, make sure to grab them some essential oils for the full experience! Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising reviews:"I absolutely LOVE my disco ball diffuser! It brings me joy. The diffuser works great and has timed options. You can use the disco ball without diffusing too. Lots of pretty color-changing options or you can have it cycle through all of the colors which is what I choose to do. There are two spinning modes too…slow and fast or you can set it to not spin at all. Get one. You WON'T be disappointed!! 🪩🫶🏼😍" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in two sizes).
