We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · This checkered cutting board and these kitchen shears are so gorgeous that you're about to enter a whole new ✨cooking era✨. 1. Olay Super Serum Body Wash that will make anyone with dry or dull skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides to nourish your skin for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel ~luminous~. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) Amazon Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game-changer my skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 2. 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. 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 leggings, 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 Get them from Amazon for $29 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles). 3. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs. Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five styles). 4. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the same magic as " Black Honey," the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to stay hydrated all day long. I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency! Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5 Get it from Amazon for $7 (also available in seven other shades). 5. And Glossmetics' Lychee Overnight Lip Mask, a Laneige or Tatcha alternative that's already a cult-fave in the making — you can wear this non-stick, ultra glossy lip shine during the day or overnight as a lip treatment to help hydrate, soften, and condition your lips. Not to mention you will taste *delectable* all day and night (just ask the many lychee martinis I have downed on this here earth!). Promising review:"I'm obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive. This is my favorite lip product I've purchased. This gloss is incredible, perfectly moisturizing, and the color is so perfect, a very light ,natural glowy pink. I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand." — Tara Bills Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four flavors). 6. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," the latest drop 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. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing. The included dish is a great touch — it keeps it clean and gives it a dedicated spot to rest." — AZMOM Get it from Amazon for $7.85 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random)! Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront! 7. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. Amazon Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven sets). 8. A gorgeous statement checkered cutting board designed with deep grooves for juice, hidden handles on the bottom, and end grain to "heal" cuts from knives. A true overachiever considering it's worth the buy for decor purposes alone!! Amazon Promising review: "I am OBSESSED with this cutting board. It is made so well and looks so expensive. Every time I have guests, I will use it as serving tray or display for charcuterie and I always get compliments on it." — Lorrin Farrell Get it from Amazon for $31.63 (available in three sizes). 9. Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails. Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. Promising review: "This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" — Sofia K Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine shades). 10. Elizabeth Mott's Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask that's like, "Skincare, but make it a silly goofy fun time." This charcoal mask helps to deep cleanse pores and gently exfoliate so you're left feeling radiant and ~refreshed~, but it also foams up and turns your face into a puffy storm cloud for maximum shenanigans. Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. I was skeptical at first but after my first use I fell in love. It goes on smoothly and doesn't drip off which is nice. Once it was time to rinse off, i t was amazing seeing all the stuff it sucked out of my pores (gross but a good gross). Not only does this stuff work, it's fun to watch and see your face turn into a Smurf lol. I have cystic acne which in itself is hard to manage but this stuff made it that much more manageable. Face was left feeling cleaned, refreshed and soft. LOVE LOVE this product. Highly highly recommend." — HarleyMama Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 11. A vintage-inspired crystal candle warmer to add some timeless, cozy glam in your living room or bedroom without worrying about an open flame. Promising review: "This looks even prettier in person! Works great, very easy setup, and beautiful with the basic lighting as well as the colorful setting. My candles warm quickly with it and start producing the smells quickly. Great product and would recommend!" — Lauren S. Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in two styles). 12. A set of crease-preventing spiral hair ties that not only give your pony that delightful ~oomph~ to elevate it, but stay locked in place. They're also waterproof, which makes them great for exercise (as much as we all love a soggy hair tie on our wrist post-workout 🫠). Basic Concepts is a small business that specializes in personal care products and home goods. Promising review: "I'm super picky about what coil hair ties I use but these are by far my fave! I have super thick hair and it holds so well. They are super durable and stretch A LOT, so you can make sure it's holding your hair well." — Gillian D. Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $7.99. 13. 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. 14. A chic weekly pill organizer you will *love* if you're the type of human whose life is "go go go" — this lets you easily pull out separate days and stick them in a bag or overnight backpack if you're traveling or staying the night somewhere. It even includes two extra detachable pill containers so you can have backups in your bag! Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three styles). 15. A wildly impressive handled BrüMate tumbler designed with a completely leakproof straw lid that might be actual witchcraft, and ~BevGuard insulation~ that will keep drinks ice cold for over 24 hours. Finally, a ginormous emotional support tumbler that not only fits in your car's cup holder, but can get tossed into your bag worry-free! Amazon, BrüMate is a small business that specializes in mugs, tumblers, coolers, and other insulated products. Bonus – this is dishwasher-safe! Promising review:"The BrüMate is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a reliable drink container. I ts 100% leakproof design means you can confidently toss it into your bag without worrying about spills, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you're hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold. Highly recommend!" — Horace Dixon Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in 19 colors and two sizes). 16.

This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin. Promising review:"Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" — Rina Get it from Amazon for $9.90. 17. A pair of waterproof wireless earbuds with AirPods Pro energy — except these feature a charging case that, bless its technologically savvy heart, has an LED display letting you know exactly how much charge is left. Reviewers also love how delightfully comfortable and sweatproof these are, making them a solid, affordable option for talking on the phone and exercising. Promising review: "I use these every day at work! Love these — easy to learn and to use. Best thing about them? Well, everything, lol. Good sound, they hold a charge for long periods, and I don't have to worry about them losing power. I can answer my phone easily and then go back to music without a problem. Definitely a great buy and worth the money! Love this color, too!" — Erin Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in eight colors). 18. A pair of gorgeous kitchen shears that are as functional as they are stunning — reviewers love these all-purpose, super sharp blades for cutting everything from meat and fruit to opening packages and wrangling with complicated wrapping. Amazon Promising review: "I had a toddler I have to cut everything up for, and these scissors have made my life INCREDIBLY easier. I cut PB&J into perfect squares and grapes into three pieces effortlessly with these scissors. It cuts chicken and other meats simply. They're sharp, safe, and so affordable too. Don't look elsewhere; these are the best!" — Adrian Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six styles and three sizes). 19.

I absolutely love this crossbody! I f you are a Lululemon fan, I'm telling you, try this bag! First of all, it's bigger. The guitar strap is key. It's very comfortable around your body. Inside also has two small pockets that you could put credit cards in, and then it has one zipper pocket and a very large inside. I would like to get all the colors at some point! I really don't think that I could buy another bag!" — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $24.29 (clip the 19% off coupon on the product page for this price). 21. A dainty patterned stoneware mug to add a rustic, cozy ambience to your morning cuppa even when you are staring down a to-do list taller than you are on the other side of it.

Really a beautiful mug addition." — Mdr Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five styles and multipacks). 22. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo "I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 23. A set of family-friendly pastel "unbreakable" deep plates perfect for anyone who needs to be practical, but doesn't want to sacrifice on prettiness. These chic plates are unexpectedly lightweight, making them easier for kids to use, but are still dishwasher safe and microwave safe for up to three minutes. Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can't complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it's an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as bowls!). 24. Oxo's new compact Brew Rapid Brewer, aka the answer to any money-conscious coffee lover's prayers — this version is not only cheaper and more portable than comparable models on the market, but WAY faster making cold brew without compromising on flavor. I'm talking five minutes as opposed to overnight, like other pitchers take — and it doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." — Alex Bonick Get it from Amazon for $34.79. 25. A two-piece lounge set that's inspired by a popular mall brand's version, and so cozy and elevated that even looking at it makes me feel smug and snuggly at the same time??

Promising review:"I have received many compliments on this two-piece se t. They wash up nicely and I air dry them as most of my clothes. My younger daughter loved it so much that she often steals it to wear. I can dress it up or dress it down Looks great with my Adidas Sambas or the Dolce Vita slides. Great functionality as you can wear it to relax and watch Netflix all day long or go shopping or travel. Great value for the money the material is an appropriate thickness where it is not too heavy, but yet gives you some warmth." — rupert Get it from Amazon for $46.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and 14 colors). 26. A leakproof collapsible water bottle to make you feel a little bit like a witch when you roll it back up and it just ~disappears~ conveniently in your purse. Promising review: "Love this product! I work out on the go, so I'm always in need of a water bottle, but I hate carrying a big one around all the time. This bottle is a nice size to use while running/walking (lightweight and easy to carry), it doesn't leak like most plastic bottles, and it's easy to roll/fold up and store in a bag after you're done. Overall, great design and functionality. 10/10." — LaMonica Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in five colors). 27. An oh-so-precious set of small heart-shaped bowls you can use for soup, ice cream, dips, fruit, appetizers, and all miscellaneous aesthetic snacky-snacks. Promising review: "This bowl is so adorable. I feel so cute when I eat and it makes me want to eat out of it. Everyone compliments me on it when I post my meals in it. Hasn't chipped or anything yet! Love this bowl." — The U Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors and sets of two). 28. A set of "Golden Glow" under-eye gels made with 24-karat gold collagen formulated to brighten, nourish, and soothe your under-eyes so you can get that sweet, sweet de-puffing relief (and look ~expensive~ while you're doing it). Dermora is a small business that specializes in eye masks and foot peels. Promising review:"I have to say I was a skeptic on these but bought them anyway on a whim after seeing them on The Today Show. Much to my surprise I found they really did what they said they do. The puffiness under my eyes was substantially reduced and my skin felt much softer and moisturized. They're a great addition to your self-care." — janiem Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $12.25 (also available in three other sets). 29. A minimalist whale-inspired colander ladle that is up to an entire *ocean* of kitchen tasks, from stirring to serving to draining. It's also heat-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and too darn cute to resist. Amazon Promising review: "It works great and it's adorable. I bought this not as a gag gift, but because my mom has issues lifting heavy pans, especially when they're full. She liked the color, the subtle whale appearance, and its usefulness." — mystacheandie Get it from Amazon for $7.19 (available in two colors, and as regular ladle that doesn't drain). 30.

You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "I use SPF cream regularly, and I can say that it really does its job. The cream has a pleasant texture, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a greasy shine or white residue, which is a big plus for me. It also provides reliable protection, even under direct sunlight. After several hours in the sun, there's no redness or irritation, which speaks to the product's effectiveness. Moreover, the SPF cream can be a great base for makeup, as it doesn't affect the texture of foundation." — Karina Kostiuk Get it from Amazon for $20.99. 31. A ginormous fluffy King-sized "holy grail" blanket that might just ruin you for all other blankets — reviewers are obsessed with how soft, plush, and comfy this blanket feels, and how it keeps you cozy *without* overheating. You are not prepared for the lawless hygge of it all!!! Amazon Promising review: "I've lost track on how many of these I've bought. I started with one for myself and fell in love with how soft and luxurious it feels. One side is faux fur and the other is soft fleece. Holds up well to washing. It is fairly thin, but man does it keep you warm! The fur and the fleece both stay soft and fairly in the same state after washing/drying (the fleece side does knob up after awhile, but that's typical for fleece). After I bought myself a throw, I upgraded to a twin size. Then I had to buy one for my husband, my kids, all of my dogs (note: pets WILL try to steal these from you), and even to throw on furniture. The feel is so comfortable and relaxing. A nd the price is super affordable! I have nothing bad to say about these!" — Mags Get it from Amazon fo r $57.99 (also available in smaller sizes for throws, Twin beds, and Queen beds, plus 23 colors). 32. Ninja's new *portable* Crispi Air Fryer system, perfect for people with high foodie standards and a chaotic schedule.

Amazon Each air fryer comes with the"PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in three colors). 33. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding.

Gave my closet the extra space it needed for my shoes and doesn't take up much space." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $111.98+ (available in four colors and in four sizes). 35. A set of six rustic-style ceramic ramekins so versatile that you'll be putting them to WORK. Not only can you use these in your oven or air fryer to cook in smaller portions for lava cakes and egg bakes, but you can use them to serve ice cream, yogurt parfaits, dips, and snacks. Mora Ceramics is a small business that specializes in home goods. Promising review: "Very high-end ramekins! Pricey, but worth every penny. They are absolutely stunning! They are very well-made. They are large and I absolutely love them. I highly recommend and I will also definitely buy again from this company." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles). 36. Birdie, an indoor carbon dioxide monitor that — bless her dramatic heart — flips over and "dies" if the air quality in your home goes down, prompting you to open a window or run an air purifier so you can breathe easier. Once Birdie is happy with the air quality again, she'll pop back up! Amazon Promising review: "Super easy to set up, and it works! We set ours up, and after charging it and mounting it, the bird fell down. We opened the windows, and about 10 minutes later, the bird went upright. People have commented how cool it look, going to buy as a gift for a family member as well." — M English Get it from Amazon for $149 (clip the $40 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five styles). 37.

This is designed to have both instant *and* lasting results, with many reviewers noting an immediate difference in skin's radiance after the first use! Amazon, Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs in your skin pretty quickly. I t may leave a slight sticky residue left behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60 year old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi Get it from Amazon for $19.90.

Get ready for a punch of vitamin C and niacinamide that'll leave your skin positively radiant. Future you says thanks!!! Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi Get it from Amazon for $19.90. 4.

I left it on all night, and now it's mid-day, and my skin still looks and feels amazing, even with makeup over it! I love this brand and all its products! I'm 46 and trying to fight aging, and Corsx is the most cost-effective and gives the best results! This mask was thick, stayed on all night and I'm a side sleeper, and I woke up to what felt like new skin! It's amazing! For the price, it's definitely worth it!!!" — Babe03 Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15. 5. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration!

I typically like a really glowy and moisturized dewy makeup anyways, so this is just perfect for me. I also really like the buildable quality. I also typically have very sensitive skin and I haven't noticed any redness or irritation or anything like that. If I notice any breakouts I'll report back, but so far this serum is a new favorite!" — Kyler Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 6.

I live in Florida and the summers here are brutal, especially being a plus-size [person] with thick thighs. I used to avoid wearing skirts, dresses, and short shorts because I'd chafe so badly and my thighs would be irritated for days. Since I've started using Chafe Cushion, I can wear all my cute summer clothes without the pain of chafing. I've also noticed a difference in my skin's appearance.

It spreads nicely and soaks right in as if your face has just been cleansed rather than having put a moisturizer on. Your face feels clean, not suffocated like so many other creams. Similar to a gel, yet even more lightweight. It feels like it belongs there, not like a foreign body clinging to your skin.

I've used $32–$39 dollar lip products and they do not compare to the new Maybelline oil balm glaze. It is astounding! I received this on a Saturday and used it, by Sunday my lips are so smooth and plump. This lip glaze is amazing, I can't say it enough. The color is awesome and glides on smooth.

I have also tested it on the weekend in instances where I would normally wear some sort of cream sunscreen on my face, but this seems to work just as well. For folks having concerns about coverage issue, I understand. I have been applying it by going in many circles over my face and seem to be successful with no problems.

37 'Gifts' To Yourself That Are Actually Super Practical To Own
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · This new "Super Serum" body wash is about to make your dry skin feel ✨✨✨. 1. Olay Super Serum Body Wash that will make anyone with dry skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides to nourish your skin for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel ~luminous~. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game-changer my skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious, skin-loving body wash!" — Darina Get it from Amazon for $12.97. 2. 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. 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 leggings, 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 Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles). 3. A two-slice slim toaster to fit virtually *anywhere* in your tiny kitchen, and to look gosh darn adorable doing it. Bonus — these long slots make it ideal for larger slices of bread, like your beloved sourdoughs. Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! Promising review:"The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins or bagels as well as a regular width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don't burn food and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" — Joyce Hill Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three styles). 4. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say captures the same magic as " Black Honey," the $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique that's blowing up on TikTok at a fraction of the price. It doesn't shift colors as magically as the other version, but it's a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lip to stay hydrated all day long. I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 "universal" Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency! Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5 Get it from Amazon for $7 (also available in four other shades). 5. And Glossmetics' Lychee Overnight Lip Mask, a Laneige or Tatcha alternative that's already a cult-fave in the making — you can wear this non-stick, ultra glossy lip shine during the day or overnight as a lip treatment to help hydrate, soften, and condition your lips. Not to mention you will taste *delectable* all day and night (just ask the many lychee martinis I have downed on this here earth!). Promising review:"I'm obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive. This is my favorite lip product I've purchased. This gloss is incredible, perfectly moisturizing, and the color is so perfect, a very light ,natural glowy pink. I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand." — Tara Bills Get it from Amazon for $7.90+ (available in three flavors). 6. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," the latest drop 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.

Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing.

Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront! 7.

These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of ligh t. I love them. I would highly recommend. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in seven sets). 8. A gorgeous statement checkered cutting board designed with deep grooves for juice, hidden handles on the bottom, and end grain to "heal" cuts from knives.

With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" — Sofia K Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine shades). 10.

It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life.

It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo "I love everything about this lotion!

I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 23.

They're a great addition to your self-care." — janiem Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $12.25 (also available in four other sets). 29. A minimalist whale-inspired colander ladle that is up to an entire *ocean* of kitchen tasks, from stirring to serving to draining.

She liked the color, the subtle whale appearance, and its usefulness." — mystacheandie Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors, and as regular ladle that doesn't drain). 30.

You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "I use SPF cream regularly, and I can say that it really does its job. The cream has a pleasant texture, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a greasy shine or white residue, which is a big plus for me. It also provides reliable protection, even under direct sunlight. After several hours in the sun, there's no redness or irritation, which speaks to the product's effectiveness. Moreover, the SPF cream can be a great base for makeup, as it doesn't affect the texture of foundation." — Karina Kostiuk Get it from Amazon for $20.99. 31.

You are not prepared for the lawless hygge of it all!!! Amazon Promising review: "I've lost track on how many of these I've bought. I started with one for myself and fell in love with how soft and luxurious it feels. One side is faux fur and the other is soft fleece. Holds up well to washing. It is fairly thin, but man does it keep you warm! The fur and the fleece both stay soft and fairly in the same state after washing/drying (the fleece side does knob up after awhile, but that's typical for fleece). After I bought myself a throw, I upgraded to a twin size. Then I had to buy one for my husband, my kids, all of my dogs (note: pets WILL try to steal these from you), and even to throw on furniture. The feel is so comfortable and relaxing. A nd the price is super affordable! I have nothing bad to say about these!" — Mags Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (also available in smaller sizes for throws, Twin beds, and Queen beds, plus 23 colors). 32.

The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (available in three colors). 33. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding when dryness is coming for your 'do.

This is designed to have both instant *and* lasting results, with many reviewers noting an immediate difference in skin's radiance after the first use! Amazon, Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs in your skin pretty quickly. I t may leave a slight sticky residue left behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60 year old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi Get it from Amazon for $19.90.

Promising review:"I started using this a week ago, and I can already see a difference! You only need a pretty small portion, so this will DEFINITELY last me quite some time, and for the price, it really is worth it!! It doesn't have a scent to it, and as someone who has very sensitive skin, it doesn't bother my skin one bit! I always feel very relaxed after putting it on and feel just better!" — Kindle Customer Price: $9.20 2. Olay Super Serum Body Wash to make anyone with dry or dull skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides to nourish your skin for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel ~luminous~. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.) Amazon Promising review:"I recently tried the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, and I am absolutely in love with it! The formula is incredibly hydrating, leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth after every use. It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized. The addition of serums in the body wash is a game changer. My skin feels nourished, and I no longer need to apply lotion right after showering. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a luxurious skin-loving body wash!" — Darina 3. Plus Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Mist Oil for an *instant* and long-lasting dry skin fix — this blend of vitamin E and jojoba oil is designed to moisturize, soothe, and restore skin, and do it REAL quick and easy for those of us who don't have time for a whole song and dance of a body moisturizing routine. Promising review: "I'm terrible about putting on lotion even though my skin is dry. I just hate it. But I love this stuff. It makes my skin feel great. Has a light pleasant scen t. Spray it on and rub it in. So easy! I just apply when going to bed or at least when I don't have to put anything other than lounge clothes on right away. My skin looks and feels so much better it makes me want to keep using it." — Slade 4. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in *PINK* Honey — aka, the sweet, subtle sister of the iconic "Black Honey" that has been so popular over the past few decades that it just about broke TikTok when it finally had its moment over there. The skin tone-matching, pH-adaptive pink version is every bit as buildable, polished, and decadent feeling as the original black honey, and perfect for everyday makeup looks. Amazon The"Almost Lipsticks" are also well-known for working as a subtle lip *and* blush shade for a perfectly dewy, au naturelllll look! Promising review: "This lip color is a fantastic, no-fuss lip product for those who want a natural, effortless look. It offers the best of both worlds — hydrating balm and a hint of color — making it ideal for daily wear. It's perfect for those looking for a low-maintenance, lightweight lip option with a natural finish. While it may not be the longest-lasting product, its comfort and versatility make it a great addition to any beauty routine." — The Unexpected Girl Mama 5. E.l.f's 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. 6. A two-pack of the beloved Aquaphor lip repair balm to ensure that you always have one of these tubes on hand whenever your dry, cracked lips are like, "OW. PAY ATTENTION TO ME." (Divas.) Promising review:"A must-have, year round. Not sure what exactly is in this magical potion, but holy cow this stuff works. It absorbs nicely but doesn't disappear, and wears really well under my lip products. No weird taste. Fragrance-free. Affordable. Compact unit. I love this, and reach for it every day." — rach b 7. Truly "Glazed Donut" After Shave Oil made with vanilla, niacinamide, passionfruit, and hyaluronic acid for a luxuriously hydrated, deliciously-scented post-shave feel. A lot of reviewers with sensitive skin swear by this moisturizing serum to help with post-shave irritation, especially in tender areas. Amazon Truly is a small business that specializes in luxury shave and fragrance products. Promising review: "11/10. I have super sensitive skin after shaving. I can't put any lotions on for at least 24 hours after shaving or else it burns and I get red dots. I can put this stuff on my skin immediately after showering and it doesn't cause any kind of reaction. It is moisturizing and a little goes a long way. The scent is nice. It smells kind of like a warm sugar cookie." — Amber Patillo 8. L'Oreal Paris Midnight Cream (plus an included sample of the Midnight Face Serum!) designed to melt into your skin to smooth wrinkles, firm skin, and strengthen your skin barrier overnight with a powerful but lightweight blend of antioxidants, vitamin E, and shea butter. Promising review: "I'm 55 and post menopausal. If you're in that same boat then I don't have to explain what all that means! This moisturizer is a dream come true. I use it day and night. In just a few weeks you can see the visible difference in my skin. It's beautifully hydrated and glowy! It's reducing the appearance of my fine lines, and has improved elasticity. I like the way it smells ... it kind of smells like tea. It's pricier than some, but a lot cheaper than others. And I've found that a little bit of moisturizer goes a long way with this stuff. It feels luxurious on my skin, and I truly feel pampered!" — Rene Lightner 9.

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT 11. L'Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer so intensely hydrating, plumping, and smoothing that reviewers compare it to the $92 Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream 👀. Not only is this super effective and affordable, but its nongreasy formula makes it play super well with makeup. Promising review: "You CAN pay an obscene price for a daily or nightly moisturizer that promises 'younger looking skin.' But in most cases, you're paying for a companies marketing teams new spin. But L'Oréal moisturizers continue to do what they have always done, moisturize and plump skin with collagen. This is the one I use for evening, and I use the same thing with added SPF for daytime. The scent of each is light and gentle and lovely." — Gail Lindhurst 12. Levi's Cinch Baggy Jeans, aka the closest you can get to a tailored fit — the band at the high waist can be altered to tighten to your shape, so you get your *denim's kiss* perfect fit. These also has a good amount of stretch to them, so you'll have the cutest *and* the comfiest booty in the room. Amazon, Promising review: "This is one of my favorite pair of jeans. I have been looking for something in this fit for some time now. I am usually a 32, and quite curvy, which causes waist gaps in most jeans. So I ordered the 32 and 33. They both fit quite well. I went with the 33 because it's longer and more roomy around my hips, and gives me the baggy fit I wanted. The cinch waist allowed me to tighten the waist. It really is perfect, and I just ordered this in another color." — Peace 13. E.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray so good at its job that reviewers compare it to the $38 Milk Makeup Hydro Grip 👀. If you're looking for a all day coverage that still leaves a hydrated, glowy finish, then your face is going to looooove drinking up this hyaluronic acid-infused fine mist spray. 14. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, a woodsy, gourmand tweak on the iconic "sunshine" smell of the brand's famous Cheirosa 62. This pretty lil' lilac version is infused with vanilla orchid and sandalwood for a mellower, velvety, nostalgically sweet scent that's perfect for spring. Promising review: "I have tried a few of their perfumes but it never really smelled that great on me. I tried this one and I am 110% in love with this smell! I get so many compliments and people asking what I am wearing! This will be my go to spray!! 💜" — Ashley 15. D'alba Piedmont Italian White Truffle First Spray Serum, the best kept secret for getting that fresh, ~glowy~ effect that will have everyone asking you to drop the skincare routine, stat. Reviewers use it before or after applying their makeup for an extra burst of hydration that absorbs quickly, but leaves skin looking dewy and luminous. Promising review:"Best serum I ever bought. I use this product every day in the morning and before I go to sleep. The hydration is great and my skin's tone after I spray it on is so glimmered. It also has a soft scent. It's definitely worth spending your money on this serum." — me 16. Nyx's Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Serum for anyone who's ever been like, "It's too bad lip gloss, lip stain, and lip balm can't have a glamorous, long-lasting, moisturizing baby." Turns out they DID! And it comes with 12 hours of hydration to boot! Promising review: "I normally don't love lip products. I have small lips and I am never really satisfied! But this stuff is sooooo good! You don't even understand how moisturizing and glossy this is. It's not sticky, very pigmented, and the stain it leaves behind is gorgeous! I got the Rosie one, and it's chef's kiss perfect! I'm totally getting more!" — Katherine Stanton 17. A compact windproof travel umbrella with one of those fancy buttons that makes it fan out on command. This is affordable enough that you will kiss your past self for buying a few to slip into bags and glove compartments. And it comes in enough patterns that you'll be dodging rain clouds *and* compliments. 18. A super roomy puffy quilted tote bag for anyone who knows coziness isn't just a feeling, but a full aesthetic. A functional one, at that — this bag is not only super lightweight and comfortable to carry, but has a ton of inner pockets for optimum organization, whether you're using it to commute, travel, or go to the gym. Promising review:"Love all the different pockets. Not excessively large and weighs almost nothing, which is great. Fits my laptop, keyboard, and work accessories, plus snacks and a water bottle. Love that it has the strap at the back to go over your luggage so you can travel with it. Perfect! Will be purchasing another in black. Very comfortable bag." — Diana 19. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation. Amazon Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken 20. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, aka humidity's WORST ENEMY. 😈 This super lightweight argan oil solution is designed for all hair types to help manage frizz and define waves and curls without weighing them down, and will be the MVP in your hair arsenal in the warmer temps. Promising review: "I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but this has been a game-changer for me. A few drops of this lightweight serum applied to damp hair before styling tames frizz instantly, leaving my hair smooth, shiny, and incredibly manageable. The argan oil infusion adds a touch of nourishment and helps to prevent future frizz. I'm so happy I finally found a product that actually works to control my unruly hair!" — Kleo 21. Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion to give you a gradually-building, vacation-worthy ~sunkissed glow~ over the course of just a few days. Not only is this easy peasy to apply compared to other finickier, streaking lotions, but it's formulated with collagen and elastin to help your skin appear firmer *and* glowier. Promising review:"I'm really impressed with this product. It's very easy to apply, the same way you would any lotion. It absorbs quickly into the skin. There is a very light, pleasant, fragrance. I had no issues with application or streaks. The tanning lotion gives a nice bronze appearance to the skin which is what I was looking for. The sunless tanner allows you to continue to build the color until you reach your desired look." — Amazon Customer 22. A pair of anti-glare night driving "sunglasses" designed to make it easier on people who struggle with the glare of oncoming overly bright headlights when they drive. The anti-reflective coating on the lenses reduces light glare and helps brighten and clarify what's actually on the road — and the sunglasses are designed to pop right over regular glasses! Promising review: "I bought these for a friend who had difficulty driving at night with the glare of oncoming headlights. I've had mine for seven years and love them. My friend was thrilled to have them. They reduced all glare to small, soft yellow lights. She says, 'They fit like a glove' over her prescription glasses. Great product for its nominal cost!!!" — Janet Wilde 23. A luxe, super soft two-piece pajama set with some real "vacation mode" energy, so even if your future travel plans are "backyard" and "someone else's backyard," you can still feel like you're on a tropical getaway. Psst — reviewers compare these to the $128 Roller Rabbit version! 👀 Promising review: " So cute and comfy. I was surprised at the excellent quality. The weight is just perfect from spring until fall. I'm naturally normally cold all of the time and it's been chilly in Texas the last couple of weeks and these are fine. So comfortable, I feel like I sleep better." — H Mclemurry Price: $19.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL and 37 patterns). 24. The Ordinary's Multi-Depth Hydration Serum to achieve that "glassy," plumped effect *without* breaking the whole bank. This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin. Promising review:"Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight, and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" — Rina 25. A set of golden bracelets with so much variety that you'll be set for all moods and occasions, whether it's a low-key weekday that calls for one dainty bracelet or a sparkly Friday night that calls for the whole bracelet brigade. Amazon 26. A "Birthday Cake Stick" lip balm that earned its place as a cult-fave — not only is this super nourishing on your lips, but it tastes like vanilla cake, buttercream icing, and rainbow sprinkles, so now you can have your cake and moisturize with it, too. Amazon Promising review: "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS. Texture, taste, and dispenser were fantastic. I give it as a birthday surprise. I keep one in my bedroom, purse, and both cars, and my son keeps one in his golf bag, bedroom, and car. Yes we have it on AUTO SHIP! You can't go wrong buying this product." — BUBBA SHIRL 27. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F. 28. A suuuper thin, breathable Hanes slub knit hoodie as the ultimate "just in case" sweater on days when the weather is having an existential crisis and taking you for the ride. Promising review: "I've bought this same hoodie several times, in various colors AND to have an extra black and white one for vacations. The fabric is thin. It won't keep you very warm in cold weather. It's PERFECT when you just want something lightweight to wear over a tank top, spaghetti-strap top, or tube top. I wear it when I just need a little extra coverage." — Amazon Customer 29. Laura Geller's Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation so you can easily achieve that "no makeup makeup" look with some subtle, glowy coverage that is easily buildable on days you need a little extra ~oomph~. This stuff is so blendable and natural looking that it's a good reminder to us all not to sleep on good old-fashioned powder foundations!! A lot of reviewers with mature skin swear by this because it doesn't cake or settle in wrinkles! Promising review: "I'm almost 60, some wrinkles and a fair amount of discoloration, red spots, and sun damage, especially on cheeks. This foundation is really easy to use. Feels like nothing, even when building. I used only basic, soft, fluffy brushes I had on hand; they worked well for light coverage, but I do think a denser brush option might work better for building. Very good coverage on bare skin (moisturizer only), practically perfect over an inexpensive primer. Almost all my flaws disappeared, even without concealer. Did not settle in wrinkles, either. I FEEL PRET-TY, OH-SO PRET-TY!...or, at least, 'Not bad for an old broad, not at all!'" — Amazon Customer 30. A holy grail-worthy adjustable sports bra made with buttery soft fabric and designed with a four way stretch and a *chef's kiss* perfect amount of comfy compression, meaning for once you might actually — gasp — enjoy putting on your workout gear. Amazon Promising review:"After trying a bunch of different sports bras and tops, I came across this one. I absolutely love it. it's super supportive and comfortable. The adjustable straps help make this the perfect fit." — Perrone 31. Dr. Martens Carlson Mules poised to be *the* shoe of spring — these subtle statement makers are durable, but surprisingly lightweight and comfortable, making them a perfect cozy go-to for everything from embroidered dresses to floral pieces to denim looks galore. Psst — you can flip back the straps for a more secure fit! Promising review: "These are really nice. They fit perfectly. I use the back straps if I am walking around a lot. They are super comfortable to walk in. There are a perfect slip on also. I use them both ways. Comfortable from day one. I was pleasantly surprised because I expected them to feel heavy, but they are not. They feel solid but not heavy. I sprayed them with a suede spray and they look great! I get so many compliments on them!" — Jerry Preciado 32. A set of hypoallergenic gold-plated earrings you can mix and match to your aesthetic's content. Reviewers love how well these hold up over time, especially given the price! Amazon

It lathers beautifully and has a lovely, light fragrance that isn't overpowering. After just a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more radiant and felt deeply moisturized.

The other big thing I noticed was how soft my feet were after using it! Too bad you can't tell that from the picture. Idk what makes this work so well but it's a miracle! And yes definitely wear gloves and you're good to go." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in a two-pack). 4. A fungal-nail renewal treatment with reviewer photos that, honestly, make me gag a little bit — if your toe looks like this, the good news is IT DOESN'T HAVE TO! This product helps with fungal nail damage and might possibly help with the discoloration, thickness, and brittleness you've also been experiencing. Sandal season is coming — let's conquer this once and for all. Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know, the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone, and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 5. A lightweight tinted lip balm with a touch of gloss is perfect for anyone who wants to add some color to their pout but keep it looking au natural.

Promising review:"This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." — rose b. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 7. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel to add to your skincare routine after taking a quick read of what incredible ingredients lie within — we're talkin' a beautiful marriage of caffeine and hyaluronic acid that'll wake your eyes up faster than chugging a cold brew. Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "This right here is the real deal! You can see immediate results! It firms and moisturizes my eye lids! A must-have!" — Nancy A.

I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." — vicki houska Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33. 9. Catrice's "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener conceals and brightens the dark circles under your eyes SO FAST you might even forget you stayed up super late watching Summer House and are now sleepier than ever. This lightweight color-adapting formula now comes in four fabulous shades! The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. I've personally tested this out, and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two, I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba, and despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price...10/10 from me. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 10. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment only asks for a mere five minutes of your time and transforms hair from drab to fab — yes, seriously, only 300 seconds will do the trick! Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." — Therese-Claire Get it from Amazon for $7.60. And check out our full Elizavecca CER-100 collagen protein treatment review. 11. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara — race to add it to your cart after seeing reviewer photos. It features a lightweight tubing technology that magically wraps around lashes, transforming them from *drab to fab* without taking away from your natural look. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $6.95 (available in three shades). 12. Or Lilac St. Original Lashes that are said to stay put for up to 10 days (!!!), which means you won't have to apply mascara for over a week! They're vegan, cruelty-free, and feature silk lash fibers you're bound to get compliments on. Lilac St is a small business! Promising review: "Y'all, I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started, and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use several times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously, will never stray." — Katiew Get them from Amazon for $12.95 (available in 11 styles and five sizes). 13. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash." Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24. 14. A Briotech spray helps calm down any pesky skin irritations (looking at you, rashes, sunburns, rosacea, eczema, etc). Its magical ingredient is hypochlorous, which helps diminish inflammation while simultaneously strengthening your skin barrier. It might just remind ya of the fan favorite (but pricier) Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray. Note: This product has newer packaging that you might receive instead of the older bottle shown above! Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face, and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye, and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed the irritation and the stye, which went away. This simple, inexpensive spray takes care of any blemish or acne. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, the same ingredient in the Biotech spray, for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466 Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 15. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream — designed to decrease puffiness and dark circles, so if you've been up far too late crying watching Steel Magnolias for the umpteenth time this cream will be there for you come morning. LilyAna Naturals is a small business! Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60-years-old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M. Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). 16. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion shockingly costs less than a Grande iced latte at Starbucks (wowza!). Reviewers rave about how it's not greasy at all, sinks right in, leaves skin feeling (and smelling) amazing *and* will likely remind you of the ever-popular Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel la la! Promising review: "I was worried after some people said the scent was a bit strong, but as someone who is usually sensitive to smells I'm extremely happy with this. N ot only does it feel amazing and super creamy, it smells SOOOO good. I love that it feels like expensive body butter and the smell literally lasts all day. 100% recommend" — Carley Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two sizes, five other scents, and multi-packs). 17. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer, aka a K-beauty must-have you may not have heard of just yet, but, boy, are you about to now! The jar is filled with tiny, poppable capsules you can snap and apply directly to your skin for the glowy revival you've been hoping for since Jack Frost did his worst. Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue left behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi Get it from Amazon for $19.90. 18. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse because not all of us have been naturally blessed with Brooke Shields's iconic eyebrows — this product comes in six shades and will give your brows the boost they need. Amazon Promising review:"So quick and easy to get full fluffy brows! It does it all in one. Gives them volume, holds them nice without being over-tacky and stiff, and darkens them. So easy in the morning before work. Takes a couple of swipes, and I am ready to go." — jessica alexandra Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six shades). 19. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops will quickly become your most talked about skincare item after you see how incredible it'll leave your face looking and feeling. It's packed with hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid and can be used solely as a serum or mixed in with your go-to foundation for a hydrating boost your skin is likely craving. Reviewers love using it instead of the pricier (but VERY similar) Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Amazon Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 20. A Kitsch heatless curling set — wrap your hair into it before hitting the hay, remove it when you wake up, and then stare at yourself and your luscious locks. It's as easy as that — no heat needed! If only Sleeping Beauty knew about these before that looooong slumber... Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review:"I was thoroughly impressed at how well this worked!!! My daughter has very long, thick hair, and I did not honestly expect this to work as well as it did!!! I am now going to purchase one for myself!!! Highly recommend!!!!" — Steven Schoorens Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 11 styles). 21. Or JVN No Heat Air Dry Cream if you don't have the time to sit with a hair dryer but know you can't go out into the world without freshening up your strands — this can be used on damp or dry hair to help transform your look from frizzy to fabulous. Promising review:"After 20+ years of trying to find a product to help me manage my curly hair, Jonathan Van Ness has done it. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. First, it smells absolutely amazing and makes me feel like I am using a high-quality, salon-quality product. I love how well it manages frizz and how soft it makes my hair feel." — Samantha Laquinta Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in two sizes). 22. Saem Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick reduces the under-eye circles and puffiness you're prone to having if "Sleepy" is your middle name, but you're simply not catching enough Zzzs these days. A big shout out to the glacial waters it's formulated with, amiright? Promising reviews:"I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." — Ben Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 23. Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eye shadow primer keeps carefully blended eyeshadow in place — you can *thank me later* when you get back from a night out with the girls (complete with the inevitable sweating and wear 'n' tear that goes with parading through a bunch of bars) when your makeup is still flawlessly in place. Promising review:"This eye primer is the real deal! Easy to apply — a tiny bit goes a long way! No creasing or oiliness all day long. My eyeshadow and liner lasts from 6 a.m.–10 p.m., even in heat and humidity. I have sensitive skin, which does not bother my eyelids. I have looked at other brands of eye primer but will stick with this one because it works so well!" — Delila Angulo Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 24. A Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask works harder than Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey mining diamonds. Apply it before you hit the hay to reap the benefits (firmer skin, more elasticity, minimized pores) while you dream. Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" — Nala Get a set of four from Amazon for $19. 25. A blackhead scrub stick exfoliates clogged pores and removes excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!" See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok! Promising review: "Here's the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It's an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you've done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" — Molly Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 26. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse a must-buy whether you have curly curls, wonderful waves, or splendidly straight locks — it's designed for all hair types! See ya later, frizz. Hello, hydration and volume! Promising review:"I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 27. Self-Tanner transforms you into a bronzed beauty when you simply don't have the time to tan yourself for hours at the beach. This delightful mousse will get the job done in only an hour! Promising reviews: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Amazon Customer "Holy moly! This is the real deal! I was nervous because it was so cheap, but it's so natural looking and easy to apply." — SE Get it from Amazon for $9.09+ (available in 11 styles). 28.

L'Oréal Paris BB Cream for anyone who is looking for a fabulous base for their makeup — it blends into skin beautifully removing redness while also acting as a moisturizer. If you apply this before any other skincare/makeup, you can only go up from there! Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F. Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles). 30. E.l.f "Squeeze Me" lip balm pleasantly hydrates your pout for under five bucks — you might just be tempted to lick your lips constantly if you snag the Vanilla Frosting flavor. Dunkaroos fans, beware! BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is obsessed with this balm: "I love love love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color." Promising review:"I have one in my car, one in my purse, and one at home. These just feel so good on your lips! The flavors are very true to their name. They are pretty small though, so if you use it often it won't last long (which is another reason I have three of them), but for $4 each it is worth it. I sometimes like using this before putting on the E.l.f. Lip Reviver Oil. Such a great base to an awesome lip oil!" — Jax Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five flavors). 31.

Thanks for this product." — Greeneyez Get it from Amazon for $9.39. 32. Laneige Neo Blurring Powder makes you feel like an oil-absorbing, pore-blurring wizard.

Check out a TikTok of the Glossmetics Overnight Lip Mask in action. Promising review:"I'm obsessed with lip products. I have tried everything you can imagine, inexpensive and expensive.

I just came on Amazon to order a couple more to have one in the car, my purse, nightstand." — Tara Bills Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three flavors). 34.

First overnight treatment I've used where my lips genuinely feel hydrated and plumper in the morning.

Now I use it every night!" — Hilary Get it from Amazon $22 (available in three flavors). 35. A selfie-worthy Elizabeth Mott's Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask exfoliates blackheads and fights other skin impurities while it bubbles up and looks downright hilarious. Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. I was skeptical at first, but after my first use, I fell in love. It goes on smoothly and doesn't drip off, which is nice. Once it was time to rinse off, i t was amazing seeing all the stuff it sucked out of my pores (gross, but a good gross). Not only does this stuff work, it's fun to watch and see your face turn into a Smurf lol. I have cystic acne, which in itself is hard to manage, but this stuff made it that much more manageable. Face was left feeling cleansed, refreshed, and soft. LOVE LOVE this product. Highly highly recommend." — HarleyMama Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 36. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo is benzene-free, comes in five hair colors, and will be your savior when, oops, you've overslept again before work. Sleepyhead? Certainly not you!!! The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.

Marc Anthony Grow Long Leave-In Conditioner Spray immediately becomes part of your daily haircare routine — it's packed with vitamin E, caffeine, and ginseng, which should help you in your ongoing fight against frizz and breakage. Amazon, Promising review:"I use this literally every day. It works so well; my hair feels great and grows pretty well. For reference, I have curly hair, which is very fine. If I use too much, my hair looks and feels greasy, but it also does that with most products. I just use a few sprays on my scalp, and it's perfect." — Lexi Get it from Amazon for $7.67. 40.

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