1. L'Oreal illuminating moisturizer infused with glycerine and shea butter — if you're looking to add a lightweight alternative to your thick foundation and want an extra *glow*, then you're gonna adore this! Reviewers say it's basically like if Glossier's Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops had a brilliant, beautiful skincare baby. Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily but provides a lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades and a two-pack). 2. A paraben-free self-tanner with a mousse texture so you can apply the product evenly (unlike thicker lotions that leave distinct lines behind). Use this if you'd rather not look like you spent all winter hibernating in a cave when swimsuit season arrives. This product is reviewer-adored and very impressive, but you can also enjoy that porcelain pale skin all you want! I'm the palest person at the beach all summer long and I'm happy as a clam. Promising review: '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!' — Review Writer Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in various shades/styles). 3. And an exfoliating mitten lots of folks love for preventing ingrown hairs, reducing KP, and smoothing out their skin before applying tanning lotion. Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas. Promising review:"MAGIC. HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THIS MIT! This cleared up 80% of the 'chicken skin' I have INSTANTLY after one use. Also, it took off way more dead skin than any scrub I've ever used. I never write reviews, so I had to when I got this and loved it." — Cheyanne Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (also available as a pair). 4.

Reviewers rave about using this as a priming moisturizer. Any way to sneak some SPF into your makeup routine is a real win. My pasty self is buying this as we speak. Seriously. Amazon, Promising review:"I have been searching for a sunscreen like this for a long time. I really dislike putting anything heavy on my face and prefer a gel-like consistency. I am a big fan of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid serum and the texture of this sunscreen feels pretty close to that. I have tried much more expensive 'serum' sunscreens and find this one my favorite and for a much better price point." — JHoch Get it from Amazon for $14.53 (fragrance- and oxybenzone-free). 5. Nyx's Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Serum for people who are sick and tired of their lip glosses lacking color, their lip balms lacking interest, and their lipsticks drying out their lips. This acts as a gloss, lip stain, and balm all in one for up to 12 hours of happy, hydrated, and good-lookin' lips! 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 Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (available in 12 shades). 6. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration!

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. 7. Elizavecca's carbonated bubble clay mask that'll exfoliate your skin and banish blackheads (according to reviewers). The selfie potential of this face mask alone Promising review:"This mask is so fun and really feels like it deep cleans. It bubbles up a lot and will make you feel like the Michelin Man LOL — but it works great especially with deep cleaning your pores. My five-year-old loves wearing this mask and watching it bubble — and it doesn't irritate her sensitive skin, which is great. I, too, have sensitive skin and have had no problems at all with this mask. It does get a bit tingly when it's bubbling but in a good way. This mask is great for girls' night, as it's hilarious watching it bubble up on everyone. The price is great for the amount of product you get; just be careful and apply very, very lightly on the forehead and around the nose, as it does bubble up thick and will go up your nostrils. Very happy with this purchase and will definitely buy again." — Jess Get it from Amazon for $9.65. 8. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream — whether you've noticed your neck skin practically hanging on for dear life thanks to that darn gravitational pull or find your décolletage creased in the center from side sleeping, the glycerin and aloe in this formula can give that delicate skin some much-needed hydration, while the salicylic acid can gently exfoliate dead skin cells. Reviewers say patience is worth it with this one, so give your body time to soak it all in and enjoy those results! Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It's not only soothing, but it also feels like it's really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It's become a must-have in my skincare routine." — JAcosta Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack). 9. Cerave eye repair cream, which is cooked up with their famous blend of ceramides (a skincare "secret sauce" if you will) and a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin. If you're revitalizing your skincare routine, add this to the mix and reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, *and* fine lines. ~Eye~ love to see it. Promising review:"What sorcery is this??? Listen I'm 48, and I've bought a lot of face cream 'stuff' over the years. Expensive stuff that did nothing. Finally started using Cerave thanks to my 19-year-old daughter and TikTok, lol. I decided to try the eye cream, and I noticed a difference the morning I started using it. The brightening is apparent. Love this stuff." — Michelle Petrosh Get it from Amazon for $14.44. 10. Or Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel that'll be beloved by people who drink up yerba mate like it's water from the actual fountain of youth.

There are no dark circles here, my dear! Promising review:"Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey, or like there's a ton of product on." — K. Grant Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 11. A hyaluronic acid serum — this can save your dry skin thanks to its *intense* hydrating properties that improve a dry complexion's softness, smoothness, and ability to retain moisture. I feel soothed just thinking about it. Promising review: "I've used several different kinds of serums for my face and this is my favorite so far. I use it right after my bath when my pores are open from the hot water and then apply my moisturizer right on top of it. My face normally gets very dry in the winter, but since I began using this serum, it has been a lot better. It seemed like such a tiny bottle when I got it, but a little bit of this stuff goes a long way. I've been using it for several months now and still have half a bottle left." — Michelle Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in different sizes/styles). 12. Etude's Dear Darling Water Tint, with a luxurious vitamin and berry formula, that'll be exactly what you want if you prefer a "no makeup" makeup look that also doesn't FEEL like you have makeup on. This nourishing (and smudge-free!!) mix is comparable to Benefit's Lip Tint and is designed to look super natural. Not only is it super moisturizing, but it doesn't need a harsh wipe or cleanse like other lipsticks, which is a *real* gift to the super thin skin on our lips! P.S. Reviewers also love using this as a blush! Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point, what's there not to like?" — Rachael Get it from Amazon for $7.40. 13. The Face Shop's facial foaming cleanser formulated with rice water to help brighten, cleanse, moisturize, and remove your makeup all at once. If you like the idea of having *one* skincare product that does it belongs in your bathroom. Promising review:"I have struggled with acne my entire life. I've gone to dermatologists and tried salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and tazarotene, and nothing ever even reduced it. I struggled with a very basic form of acne on my forehead and sometimes my chin, and I have sensitive skin, so I decided to try something new. I thought I'd have to wait at least a month to see results, but within four days, everything started to disappear. All of my major acne has completely gone away. I only see little tiny spots here and there, but they go away within a day. Nothing like what I used to get. I'm going to start using it on my back to see if it helps there too. 10/10 the best face wash I have ever encountered in my life." — Jaiden Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). 14. A bottle of Bio-Oil, beloved by many a skin-having human, made with a powerful blend of moisturizing oils and vitamins that'll aid in fadin' scars you'd rather have bippity-boppity- boop off your body. Promising review:" I am a 70-year-old woman with all the skin issues those years bring: fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, uneven skin tone, and dry patches. This oil is lightweight, absorbs nicely, and has a fairly pleasant smell, although a bit flowery. The main thing is it works. I could tell a difference in my skin the first week of use. My skin is hydrated and glowing, and the overall tone has improved considerably. Believe me when I say I have used a lot of serums, oils, and moisturizers over the years. I wish I had found this oil years ago." — Connie J Get it from Amazon for $11.12. 15. Axiology Beauty's award-winning lip-to-lid balm for folks who prefer a makeup *and* skincare routine that's a cinch. These balms aren't only made for looks — they have elderberry, hemp, and plum oil for nourishing and hydrating your skin. Credo This product packaging is tube and cap-free (it's wrapped in paper instead — i.e., totally waste-free!) and rests in a recycled carrying case made from upcycled materials. Credo Beauty is a woman-owned small business in San Francisco that features cruelty-free beauty and personal care products. They have a Dirty List that'll show you the ingredients they refuse to use, so you'll know your skin is safe! Promising review:"This product is fabulous. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. I thought the texture might be too crayon-like, but it's absolutely not. It blends beautifully and lasts. I chose the shade "Raspberry." It's a wonderfully happy fuchsia/hot-pink color." — Heidi J. Get it from Credo Beauty for $15 (available in 10 colors). 16. A caffeinated butt mask that'll wake up your skincare system if you've been a bit behind on your routine lately. These potent masks are designed to tone and smooth your cheeks with just a 15-minute mask sesh! Amazon Be sure to check out all of Bawdy's sheet masks! Promising review: "I will definitely be investing in more of these masks. I was a bit skeptical to try a must for my butt (lol), but I actually felt it work! I felt the firmness and detox! I would recommend trying it; I will be purchasing more for sure. Thumbs up!" — Lauren Get it from Amazon for $10. 17. A tattoo aftercare salve to make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in two styles). 18. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller that'll absorb excess oil on your face as you swipe it away *without* ruining your makeup. Now that this exists, there's no better product to have in your bag when the summer sun brings back your extra oily skin. Oil blotting sheets WISH they were this sexy. Keep your makeup looking great all day with this OG TikTok beauty sensation. To clean, you'll just pop out the stone roller and give it a quick hand wash under the sink. Once it's dry, it's ready to use for the next day! Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $7.80 (available in two styles). 19. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener (made with a *chef's kiss* mix of hydraulic acid and shea butter), which became a knockout success once reviewers started raving en mass about the product's instant invisible coverage. If you're looking for quick and easy results that suggest you don't even require come to the right brightener. 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). 20. A glazed donut Lanolips lip balm because if it really chaps your hide (my Grandma's favorite phrase, Hi Grandma!) when your lips are chapped during allergy season, then you need to be using a healing combo of lanolin oil and vitamin E to moisturize and nourish that extra thin skin. This is also recommended for cuticles and cracked heels! Amazon P.S. Lanolips is cruelty-free! I've spent the last year trying to fall in love with a lip balm and tried *dozens* before (get this) nursing helped me find this brand. I saw a bunch of people recommend lanolin-rich nipple balm for their dry lips and, in turn, saw that Lanolips made some for your lips (which, let's be real, was preferable). I have several flavors now, and the glazed donut is my favorite. I also use this daily on my cuticles! I love, love this stuff. It smells great, looks pretty on my otherwise makeup-free face, and feels nourishing every time I put it on. Promising review:" Lanolips lip balm is hands down my favorite lip balm ever. I've tried the coconut and strawberry, and both have a light scent that isn't cloyingly sweet or overwhelming. The opening is larger than usual (which is necessary due to the thickness of the product) but it's so big, I end up scraping off product I just applied, so I have to use my finger to spread it out. I guess an unintended benefit of applying it with my finger is that my cuticles look better this winter than they ever have because I've been rubbing the excess into my fingertips." — Three Needles Get it from Amazon for $13.50 (available in eight flavors). 21. Olay Super Serum Body Wash (the body wash version of Olay's cult favorite facial Super Serum) — this is so soothing it's basically gonna feel like giving your dry skin a niacinamide-forward bottle of red, with notes of shea butter and a whiff of collagen peptides that'll treat your ~full body~ to 24-hour hydration. Ahhh, drink that all in. 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 (available in three styles). 22. A foot peel mask formulated to soften dry, cracked, and aching feet. These are coated in a paraben-free formula of fruit acids. After putting your feet up and relaxing for 60 minutes, you're done! You can expect your hard skin to start shedding in 6–11 days. Promising review:" These foot masks have helped me save loads at the salon. I love soft pretty feet, but they aren't cheap. I am also so ticklish that pedicures are challenging for the poor people working on my feet. While these masks aren't fast, the extra time is well worth the time and savings. I wear the mask for an hour as instructed, and then just shower or bath as usual. After three days, you notice the dead skin peeling off, and in a week, my feet are salon-soft and smooth. I have sensitive skin and worried this product might cause a negative reaction, but my worries were for nothing. Happy feet, and happy wallet." — Sommer Thyme Get it from Amazon for $14.36 (available in four styles). 23. PanOxyl Antimicrobial Hydrating Acne Creamy Wash — if you've been hoping their OG foaming wash worked on your sensitive skin, they heard your wish! Not only is this great on sensitive skin, but it'll also help clear up acne-causing bacteria on your whole body! It's designed to clear up existing acne and prevent further breakouts by deep-cleaning your pores. A gift! Psst — this "gentler" formula contains 4% Benzoyl peroxide, so reviewers with sensitive skin swear by this one versus the foaming 10% version, which admittedly does pack a bit more of a powerful punch. Promising review:"This works like no other. Sometimes, when products have no lather, I can't tell if it's working, tbh. This has no lather but works! Improves breakouts and textured skin. I saw results in four days." — Ellice D. Ellis Get it from Amazon for $9.77 (available in different sizes). 24. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Daily Skin Therapy reviewers with cracked heels, elbows, and knuckles say it works fast without aggravating their sensitive skin. If you want your skin to feel Disney-princess smooth for the first time in forever, then let this stuff give you the 48-hour moisturizing protection you deserve. Promising review:"Having extremely sensitive skin, I'm very selective about what products I use on my dry skin. I've been using this for years as it works wonders for my skin, providing the moisture it desperately needs, and it's compact, so it's easy to keep in my purse. It's solidly made but glides smoothly and smells incredible! I just LOVE how it doesn't leave my skin oily but soft and well-hydrated. I get complimented on my skin often and I feel as though this Palmer's product is the reason for the overall radiant appearance. I'm beyond pleased with this Palmer's moisturizing product that works as designed to heal and soften, and my skin absolutely LOVES it too!" — Glam-Ma's "Unbiased" Review 25. Rael "Miracle Invisible Spot Cover" Pimple Patches for anyone who thinks the best skincare treat they could possibly give themselves is pimple patches that don't shout, "Look over here at this vacuum-sealed pimple bursting from my face!" These have the same hydrocolloid formula for relieving the redness, swelling, and pus from breakouts *without* the usual show-and-tell. Promising review:"I recently tried this pimple patch and it's incredible! It's truly invisible, blends seamlessly with my skin, and works wonders. It hides pimples effectively and starts working within hours, clearing them up in no time (usually within eight hours). Plus, it leaves no redness or scars behind! This product is a must-have for anyone dealing with breakouts. Highly recommended!" — Robeir Edward Sarofeem Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (available in multiple pack sizes). 26. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion sure to be the TikTok obsession you *too* are about to be obsessed with. This lightweight formula provides a soothing and long-lasting moisture barrier so your skin feels silky. Which is great, as it's what we want lotion to do, but people are also losing it over how great this comparing the scent to $$ brands like Philosophy. Nice. Promising reviews: "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. 27. A set of "Golden Glow" under-eye gels made with a 24-karat gold collagen formula that'll ease the look of dark circles and bags under your eyes and make your skin look positively ~golden~. 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 (available in four set styles).

I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly.

That's not the case with these! They're soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they'd be. I'm definitely going to order in more colors." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors and patterns). 18.

I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning.

Promising review:" I absolutely love the look of these storage containers (pictured above, right)! They are so unique and modern. The quality is great, the glass is pretty thick, and they seem very durable. The reason I'm docking one star is because some containers don't quite seal air tight correctly like the rest. Not sure if it's the glass container or the cork but I did come across that one issue with some of the jars. Overall though, I would recommend these containers." — Mig and Les Get a set of three from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two set sizes). 24. Linen napkins that are naturally stain-resistant. If you're gonna really make your napkins work to earn their keep — this chic set has your name on it! Amazon Promising review:"These are beautiful napkins.

We currently have it in our playroom and the kids love being able to watch stuff on it. I love being able to display my pictures on it, which saves me from having to get a digital picture frame. The volume on it is very good and it picks up my voice very easily. Highly recommend this." — Laura Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two colors). 27.

I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $47.49. 30. An LED flat plate, which is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob.

Promising review:"I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this piece. It's sturdy and the marble print on the shelving matched my bathroom vanity fairly well.

Also very easy to assemble and install." — David Get it from Amazon for $47.49+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 34. A Cuisinart ice cream maker — if you wanna experiment with recipes you've only seen in restaurants, then grab this heirloom gadget and fix up some olive oil, basil, and blackberry ice cream the very *second* it ships! It includes a replacement lid, 2-quart double insulated freezer bowl, paddle, and a recipe book. Promising review:" Got one for me, for my sister, and my parents, and we all love it! It's easy to use, easy to clean, and best of all it makes some amazing ice cream. For best results on the consistency of your ice cream I recommend not filling it to full capacity. I always go 1.75 quarts, since some ingredients make the ice cream expand and spill over the edge. I also freeze the container a day prior to using it. I wouldn't attempt to make more than one batch in one day, the container needs to be as cold as possible." — Beatriz Get it from Amazon for $79.99. 35.

Promising review: "My daughter told me about this razor, saying that she has used this for years, so I went ahead and order one. That was the best decision ever. I will NEVER ever waste money buying razors again. You can keep this one forever. The razor is made with a good, strong material and it's pretty. It's easy to use, practical, easy to change the blades, and it will last you a long time. This is the last time you have to buy a razor. Do yourself a favor and buy this.

There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (for four; available in three colors and in two- and six-packs). 42. An unreasonably lovely hardshell suitcase with such a smooth glide (even when packed to the brim) you'll think it's competing in a waltzing contest. It's lightweight, has 360-degree spinning wheels, *and* has a TSA combination lock so your stuff is safe and secure while you travel. Amazon Promising review: " So cute and well made! I bought this suitcase based on looks alone. It is just so adorable and a perfect carry-on size.

The Car Seat Key for parents and guardians who have had one too many manicures ruined by car seat clips.

Promising review:"After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works!

Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl and then there are savages. It's like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that.

An illuminating moisturizer — if you're looking to add a lightweight alternative to your thick foundation and want an extra *glow*, then you're gonna adore this! Reviewers say it's basically like if Glossier's Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops had a brilliant, beautiful skincare baby. Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades). 4. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four styles and colors). 5. A tattoo aftercare salve to make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $18.98. 6. A muslin blanket that'll look chic in your space and keep you warm and safe through all the extra scary episodes of Severance that keep popping up this season. Make sure you clip the coupon to receive an additional 10% off! Promising review:"This is the perfect throw for summer nights as it is lightweight. Yet since it is muslin it will adjust to the climate so I'm sure it will be so cozy during the winter time. It's beautiful and so soft and now I don't have to steal my son's blankets! It is so soft, cuddly, and beautiful." — A&E Get it from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in five sizes/styes and 12 colors). 7. A scrunchie/towel hybrid to help your hair dry faster without any heat tools! Reviewers love this as a shower-and-go solution when they have to leave the house with wet hair. We love a product that helps us with our busy schedules. Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They sell a wide variety of beauty products and hair accessories for all hair types. Promising review:"I ordered this because I was sick of keeping a towel on my head for so long while my hair dried, and if I didn't have a towel, my shirt was soaking wet from my hair after a shower. For reference, I had very long, thick hair and it takes a while to air-dry — and I'm so happy I found this scrunchie! It's a lot bigger in person than it looks in the image, which is great because it covers more of your hair to help dry it. No more heavy towels on my head or tight towel wraps." — Meghan Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two styles). 8. "The Clean Ball" — throw this cat-toy lookin' thing into your purse or backpack, and it's gonna catch all the crumbs and debris that accumulate at the bottom. I sure wish I'd known about this gizmo before going through my homemade granola phase. Amazon Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether *Another* promising review:"This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it's ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" — dj3biggs Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors and multiple pack sizes). 9. An adjustable duster brush that'll spruce up your window shades so well you just might notice you actually do have a view through those dust bunnies. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 10. A classic pair of slip-on Vans if tying your shoes is extra work only for Monday through Friday. Weekend sneaks should be slip-ons, always. Promising review: " I buy these frequently because I've never had a bad pair. I tend to buy two or three pairs at a time. They are good shoes that wear well and are comfortable. I toss mine in the laundry now and again to keep them clean and fresh. I wear mine for everything — work, play, to restaurants, gardening, and morning walks." — RobertW Get them from Amazon for $30+ (available in sizes 3.5–17.5 and in various colors). 11. An avocado pit planter so you can grow your own avocado plant if you don't have a yard but gardening is in your roots. I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great! Promising review:"I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it's some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" — Alysia Get it from Amazon for $16.29. 12. A pickle keeper and juice strainer — tip this over like an hourglass so you can eat pickles to pass the time *without* the juice making a mess. Promising review:"I love pickles and olives but hate the mess and pain of pickle/olive brine. I've been known to just drain it out of a jar immediately, even if that means having to throw away the pickles or olives sooner. I randomly discovered these containers from some online article, and knew right away I would be getting one. I now have two but plan on buying more. They're just great. The only thing is, you need to be 100% sure you've got the lids on completely or you will have a disaster on your hands. Check and double check each time you are securing them. The tongs are useful just to have around for anything, too." — Nick Get it from Amazon for $13.90 (available in two styles). 13. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner with a formula that clings to grime and buildup inside your pipes, preventing hidden smells from escaping through your sink and removing bacteria that may be lurking just out of reach. Use this so you can clean out your rental's sink before your landlord decides to dispose of your deposit. Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.56 (available in multiple pack styles). 14. A tomato knife that'll make chopping up this pesky piece of produce tomat- oh so easy! Promising review:"I love this knife! I stumbled upon a description when I was shopping for a sushi knife. It was so cheap, I decided to take a chance. Wow. It is such a great little knife. Yes, it works perfectly on soft tomatoes. But, to be honest, I use it for many other fruits and vegetables. It is amazingly sharp, the serrated edge is very effective, and it has a great feel in my hand." — Jane S. Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 15. A cheese keeper to keep your favorite cheeses, both hard and soft, alive longer by allowing them to breathe. In the words of her highness, Veruca Salt, "Give it to me NOW!" Amazon Cheese is MY bar of chocolate. Promising review:"Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" — Awesome Taste Get it from Amazon for $10.83. 16. A collection of ombre nesting bowls hue will wanna get in your life stat! These nonslip bowls are dishwasher-safe, freezer-safe, food-safe, and BPA-free. Amazon Promising review:" I like the fact that these bowls are deep rather than wide so they don't take up a lot of shelf space. The colors are beautiful. I threw all my old bowls with miss matched lids away!" — Lisa Jean Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in different set sizes and styles). 17. A pair of hoop earrings you can add to your outfit when an early spring is in the air, making you think every day should be casual Friday. Your boss will certainly think your sweats look chic with accessories like these! Promising review: "OMG I'm obsessed with these earrings. They're so pretty and lightweight. I never usually order earrings off Amazon but decided to get some since I saw them on TikTok. They're great quality and I usually can't wear fake jewelry since it makes my ears itch like crazy. This one didn't do that at all. Another problem I have is earrings being super uncomfortable to sleep in but this one doesn't do that either. I'm going to literally get every single size they have since I love it so much. Hiiiiighly recommend." — Ziyana Iyer Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and colors). 18. A charming waterproof shelf liner for impressing your friends with an aesthetic solution that'll keep your shelves from getting gunky. Even opening the fridge is gonna be a delightful surprise at your place. Good on ya. Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in eight sizes and four patterns). 19. A pair of lovely silicone trivets with a soft, bendable design — making them great for placing hot dishes down *and* for taking those very dishes out of the oven before your meal. In a world where kitchens are already filled with gadgets and gizmos yourself a tool that does more than its fair share! Amazon These are so darn good lookin' you can just leave them out as coasters the rest of the time! Promising review:"I bought these as a barrier between the cold stone countertops and my morning cup of coffee and they definitely allow my coffee to stay warm longer." — Kelly Get them from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in three colors). 20.

A stylist secret eyelash comb (at $5!!) makeup artists consider one of the very best tools for separating lashes and keeping mascara from clumping up.

Promising review: "As a pro makeup artist, this is an excellent tool to have in my kit. Excellent for removing mascara clumps." — Lady Marina Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 22. A water bottle organizer that'll give each and every one of your emotional support water bottles a cozy place to rest. Promising review: " This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — RT17 Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes). 23. A bottle of Folex spot remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $6.33. 24. A marble-patterned dish drying mat because in your home, even dirty dishes are sure to look lovely. Good on you. You must really intimidate your friends. Nice. Amazon Promising review:"Matched our counters and almost blends in completely. We roll it up in the morning after all the dishes are dry. Great for smaller spaces with less counter space and protects the counter from water damage over time. Washed it in normal laundry cycle a number of times and it comes out clean as if new each time with no pilling. Spilled coffee on it on accident, sprayed flex, tossed it in the wash and it cleaned completely." — Shopmindfully Get it from Amazon for $12.79 (available in several colors/patterns). 25. A pair of YogaToes gemstone stretchers — a splurge-worthy impulse purchase made with hypoallergenic medical-grade gel, for folks who have hammer toe, bunions, plantar fasciitis, etc. Try tossing these in the freezer and treating your feet to a soothing, cooling treatment at the end of the day. Ahhh, I can feel the relief just thinking about that. Promising review:"It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $36.95. 26. A CovoBox that's hollow on the inside, so you can cover your Wi-Fi router with elegant "books" instead of leaving it out on display. What a *novel* idea! Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 27.

A 3-in-1 wireless charger can help you rid your side table of pesky charging cords. Charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time and all in the same place! No tangled-up collection of cords needed. Promising review:"I love this charging station! I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight colors). 29. A cervical neck "pillow" that'll provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much-needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down. Amazon, After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture. If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use. Promising review:"I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." — Cindy Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in six colors). 30. A three-pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets (300 sheets in all!) so you can make sure there's soap ~handy~ wherever you go, despite how often you find empty soap containers in public bathrooms. Promising review:"I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it's so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." — woolymammoth Get them from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in ten pack styles/sizes). 31. An ammonia-free glass and window cleaner that'll wipe away fingerprints and dog drool off the inside of your sliding doors without filling your home with a chemical smell. This is also a great option if you have a glass dining room table, like the reviewer below! Promising review:"I've been searching for a good window cleaner for four years. This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." — ASull Get it from Amazon for $5.03. 32. A spiffy K-Cup storage drawer — a fool-proof system that'll be simple and chic even when your caffeine-deprived morning brain can hardly spell coffee, let alone make it.

Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." — tunisianswife Get it from Amazon for $17.80+ (available in four styles). 34. An LED flat plate — this is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. They don't understand what they're missing, sleeping instead of devouring ACOTAR like their life depends on it. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors). 35. A magnetic bobby pin tray that'll hold tight to your hair pins, getting you out of any ~hairy~ situations when your 'do doesn't quite stay in place. Promising review:"I love this product.

I have already ordered more as my friends all want these in their drinks!" — Siri US Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two pack sizes). 9.

Tie-front satin PJs that'll have you looking like an influencer even when you're home alone binging Netflix and cheese wearing *catwalk-worthy* loungewear. Amazon Promising review: "It's always a gamble getting pajamas online, especially when they're supposed to be silky; sometimes you get that unyielding plastic-y feeling material. That's not the case with these! They're soft and flowy, and the ties in the front, while not Fort Knox, are still more secure than I thought they'd be. I'm definitely going to order in more colors." — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 27 colors and patterns). 16. A layered necklace set so you can show off your social elite style even though your credit card isn't exactly platinum — they come separated, so you can add on other pieces, too! Reviewers rave about how great the quality is for the price because they don't tarnish. Inexpensive jewelry that doesn't turn your skin green? That's a gift from the gods. Amazon Promising review:"I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven't taken them off since I received them and they look brand new still. I've worn them in the shower, pools, and beach and they are still perfect." — Allison Kwong Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three finishes and 16 other styles). 17.

I'm one of those people who has all the Apple things, so being able to charge my phone, watch, and AirPod Pros at the same time is a total game changer for me. I can't even guess how many times I've misplaced my AirPods because I didn't have a dedicated place for them. Now there's no question where they are every morning. Not only that, but the charger is pretty fast (especially for the watch and earbuds) and the station itself is easy to set up and use." — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $20.89+ (available in eight colors). 19. A customizable set of plastic storage cubes that'll snap together and create a perfect storage system, no matter where you place them. Promising review:"I used to have a two-tier metal rack that was nowhere near enough storage space and there were always shoes all over the floor. I put this together in a rather short while and now my closet is clean! Totally love this because it is so spacious and you can build it in any shape you want." — Mama D Get a 16-cube set on sale from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 20.

Promising review:" I absolutely love the look of these storage containers (pictured above, right)! They are so unique and modern. The quality is great, the glass is pretty thick, and they seem very durable. The reason I'm docking one star is because some containers don't quite seal air tight correctly like the rest. Not sure if it's the glass container or the cork but I did come across that one issue with some of the jars. Overall though, I would recommend these containers." — Mig and Les Get a set of three from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two set sizes). 22. Linen napkins that are naturally stain-resistant. If you're gonna really make your napkins work to earn their keep — this chic set has your name on it! Amazon Promising review:"These are beautiful napkins. They are a fine weight for everyday use and hold up to the washing machine. Being linen we didn't expect them to be wrinkle-free but they are amazingly stain resistant. We are totally in love with them. We got a set of each color. They are big enough we can use one color napkin as a placemat and then an alternate color as the napkin to mix and match with the placemats. The coral color is our favorite." — Deanna O'Shaughnessy Get a four-pack from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in eight colors). 23.

Promising review: " For the price you can't beat it. Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that.

An Echo Show 8 that'll display the weather, play videos, set alarms, and even make video calls. Once you get this in your life, you'll be shocked you lived life without this thing — trust me. Promising review:"I love the size of it. It's the perfect size to fit on our mantle, but still big enough to allow us to watch movies and shows on it. We currently have it in our playroom and the kids love being able to watch stuff on it. I love being able to display my pictures on it, which saves me from having to get a digital picture frame. The volume on it is very good and it picks up my voice very easily. Highly recommend this." — Laura Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two colors). 25. A pocket shower curtain for ~clearly~ keeping your shower organized. Promising review:"I LOVE this shower curtain. If you have a shower that doesn't have a lot of ledge room for all your stuff, this shower curtain will be your best friend. You can fit so many things inside the pockets! You can also use this as a liner and have another, more decorative, shower curtain on the outside but I personally use it as a shower curtain.

Upgrade your morning routine from frozen waffles to a homemade meal that'll look straight off a "best of" brunch menu. Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second was scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" — Adirondackdarling Get it from Amazon for $49.99. 28. An LED flat plate, which is gonna help you read far into the night without disturbing the morning person snoozin' beside you. Promising review:"LOVE! This book light is perfect for nighttime reading. I opted for this particular brand over others I saw for less as it has a dimmer. I really like this one as the glow is soft and not harsh on my eyes. The dimmer has a wide range when I turn the knob. You can use this book light horizontally or vertically. It's not large enough to cover the whole page of most books, but it does completely light up an entire page so you don't have to move it up and down while reading." — Flora Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors). 29.

It is super warm, so it's perfect for our winter days in Texas. You really don't need anything else. The colors are great, and I love this neutral tan. Reminds me of Burberry but without the price tag. The zipper works great, too, as well as the ties to make it complement your body type. Hits at the perfect spot on your waist so you don't look like a marshmallow." — MEL Get it from Amazon for $36.97 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors). 30. A floating shelf sure to improve both the look and storage space in your dollhouse-sized kitchen. Those mug hooks make me more mugs. They're so darn darling hangin' up all at-the-ready! Promising review:"I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this piece. It's sturdy and the marble print on the shelving matched my bathroom vanity fairly well. The accompanying hooks were silver and not the same champagne gold, so be aware if that matters to you. Also very easy to assemble and install." — David Get it from Amazon for $52.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors). 31. A stylist secret eyelash comb (at $5!!) makeup artists consider one of the very best tools for separating lashes and keeping mascara from clumping up.

It includes a replacement lid, 2-quart double insulated freezer bowl, paddle, and a recipe book. Promising review:" Got one for me, for my sister, and my parents, and we all love it! It's easy to use, easy to clean, and best of all it makes some amazing ice cream. For best results on the consistency of your ice cream I recommend not filling it to full capacity. I always go 1.75 quarts, since some ingredients make the ice cream expand and spill over the edge. I also freeze the container a day prior to using it. I wouldn't attempt to make more than one batch in one day, the container needs to be as cold as possible." — Beatriz Get it from Amazon for $99.94 (available in three colors). 33. A safety razor designed to be displayed upright and within site thanks to its included stand (available in a bunch of colors to best match your bathroom!).

I will NEVER ever waste money buying razors again. You can keep this one forever. The razor is made with a good, strong material and it's pretty. It's easy to use, practical, easy to change the blades, and it will last you a long time. This is the last time you have to buy a razor. Do yourself a favor and buy this. You will save so much money it's crazy. Hope you love it as much as I do." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.24 (available in 22 styles; available at lower price without stand). 34.

Promising review:"These are the cutest toast tongs! They are nicely crafted and the long-eared bunny design is adorable. Perfect tongs for my toaster and waffle iron.

Sigh, it's such a satisfying stage in life — I'm right there with you. And this candle is about to be with ME. Amazon Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle and this one is very very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it!

I bought this suitcase based on looks alone. It is just so adorable and a perfect carry-on size. I traveled with it for the first time last week and was very impressed with the quality and construction. I dragged it all over Manhattan, and the wheels worked like a dream. The zippers are also very hardy and the handle extension is very smooth. Everywhere I took it, I got compliments from strangers on the street. I will definitely consider buying more sizes from this brand." — Anne Lindeberg Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in three sizes, four colors, and a set of two). 40.

Promising review:"After I had my first child almost a year ago, I stopped getting acrylic nails because I couldn't get him out of his car seat without struggling or breaking a nail. I'd have to get them as an overlay or extra short. But I saw this product on TikTok and had to try it out, and OMG!! It works! It took me a while to figure out the best angle to get him out with it, but once I did, I went to the nail shop expeditiously!! LOL, if you've been thinking about this for a while, GET IT! It's worth it!" — Tora318 Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors). 43.

Promising review: "There are people who have this butter bowl and then there are savages. It's like Zeus made a statue of himself and then carved the butter bowl out of that.
