30 Low-Budget Products That Give High-Quality Results
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 · Everything in this post costs less than $10. You're welcome. 1. A wake up eye gel formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to up your eyes — and by that, we mean keep the skin around them hydrated while helping to reduce the appearance of puffiness and swelling. Evidence of the fact you keep going to sleep too late because you can't stop watching Real Housewives, begone! 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 love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "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." — Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 2. The Pink Stuff, a fan-fave cleaning product so good, you'll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of household items and surfaces (both indoors and outdoors). Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took off years of hard water scale buildup in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in two sizes). 3. A snout soother stick for pups whose noses need a little extra love. Simply swipe this onto their dry, chapped nose to help restore softness and hydration, so they can go back to sniffing all that fresh springtime grass outside. This snout soother is organic, vegan, and made with all-natural ingredients! Promising review:"Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive that it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from the rarest mine in Guatemala. A friend recommended this snout soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off, and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Unbelievable results in three to five days. No one paid me to write this." — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (available in various sizes and pack options). 4. Dishwasher cleaning tablets so the machine you rely on to clean the things you use to eat isn't gunking them up even more. These tablets remove odor-causing residue and help eliminate lime and mineral buildup that naturally occurs inside dishwashers. The tablet is designed to last throughout the entire wash cycle and is recommended for use about once a month. These are safe to use in stainless-steel tubs and plastic tub dishwashers. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job, so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then, I saw a product test review for Affresh in a magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! My glassware, which I thought was permanently etched and ruined, came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I can even put it on my Subscribe and Save order, so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99. 5. An LED lighting strip that sticks to the back of your TV to create a backlighting effect. You deserve to enjoy better picture quality as you relive Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour for the millionth time on Disney+. Is this just me? Well, alright then! Promising reviews:"I'm obsessed with this product! I'm actually mad I haven't had this all my life. It looks amazing and fancy, lighting up my TV area. My husband and I always fight about the lamp being on while we're watching TV in the dark, so this was the perfect compromise. It helps my eyes too because if it's pitch dark, my eyes hurt watching the bright TV. This eases my viewing experience with the lamp off. But mostly, I love how it looks!!!!! Worth every penny. It was so easy to install and sticks great even after unpeeling and moving it a little. I will be buying another for my other TV." — Cris Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes). 6. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil you'll wish you'd bought sooner. With consistent use over time, this incredible solution helps make your nails look fresh and healthy. Evidence of a once-bad biting habit combined with questionable at-home manicure decisions, begone! Promising review:"This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you. This is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago, my nails were brittle and peeling. I always had my nails done, and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try, and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you're thinking about buying this…buy it!" — Jocelyn Nackley Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 7. Plus, a nail strengthening cream that's been a cult favorite for ages and is packed with ingredients like calcium and jojoba oil to help nourish brittle nails. Whether you're giving your nails a break from gels, growing them out after a bad break, or just want them to look healthier, this little jar has your back. Natural tips, here you come — no salon appointment required. Promising review:"I've been using this product for almost a month. Before, my nails were bendy, paper-thin, and had little ridges. After applying this product almost every day, three times a day, I can grow my nails without fear. They are smooth, pretty, and have excellent white tips. They still have a slight flexibility to them but are leagues better than where they were, and I'm hoping with continued use, my nails will be hard as hoof, ha. After trying so many products, I believe this one is a holy grail." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.88. 8. A grill cleaner because, truth be told, there's never a bad time of year to enjoy a good burger or hot dog — and we want to make sure you have a quick and easy way to clean your appliance after each use so that burnt-on grease and food aren't left sitting there. 🤢 Promising review:"This stuff works fantastically to remove that sticky goop left over when smoking a brisket for 15 hours. Spray it on, let it sit for a few, use a limestone block to scrub, and rinse with a hose outside. I haven't found anything better for anywhere near the price, either. I have tried over a dozen different things, and this is now my go-to product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.45. 9. Tongue scrapers so you can not only help reduce the bad breath tied with having gunk on your tongue but also ensure your selfie game is yuck-free, and really, which is more important? (OK, fine, it's the bad breath.) Read more about tongue scraping at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"This product works!! High quality material, well made, easy to clean, corrosion resistant, at least in my experience. I can tell this will last a long time. And it works!!!! Got rid of a coating on my tongue that other tongue scrapers and the tongue cleaners on toothbrushes did nothing for!! Noticed it got a lot off the first use!!! My tongue looks healthy, and my throat feels better. Once a thicker layer starts on the tongue due to post-nasal drip, there's nothing else that gets rid of it. It's easy to hold and doesn't gag me at all. It comes with a travel case, which I love because I don't want anything that goes in my mouth loose in a bag." — Saffire Dragon Get two from Amazon for $9.95. 10. A jewelry cleaning pen to get your precious gems looking brand-new with a quick pen swipe. Let's be real, the last thing you feel like doing is putting on real clothes, driving to a jewelry store, and paying triple the amount of what this pen costs. Promising review:"I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it. I tried everything except sending it away to get cleaned. I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik, and my ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many, many years ago. I will definitely use this on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in two sizes). 11. And on the topic of making your jewelry feel new, a silver cleaning dip that'll feel like trading in tarnished, rusted necklaces and bracelets for practically brand-new pieces. Wild to think those accessories were actually silver at one point and NOT charcoal-colored?! Promising review:"I have several pieces of upscale silver jewelry that have tarnished to the point of being unwearable. Not a great investment. I have tarnish wipes, and those work well enough, but they are really designed for cutlery and not jewelry. Wipes don't get into the crevices of design work, nor do they get inside links on chains. I had come to accept that, no matter what I did, my silver pieces were always going to be a bit dirty-looking. When I got this dip, I wasn't expecting much. All I can say is this: WOW. I opened the jar and dipped in half of a very tarnished (nearly black) bracelet for no more than a second just to test it. When I pulled it out, I literally squealed. It was like new! Not a bit of tarnish, not a bit of dark, just that pure silver color. However, the smell of this stuff will knock you over. I *highly* recommend wearing rubber gloves when you use this (I didn't but will from now on) and rinsing your jewelry thoroughly after dipping and before wearing." — abby Get it from Amazon for $7.95. 12. Compound W One Step Pads for applying to plantar warts — they just look like bandages, but really, they're working hard to remove those stubborn little guys. Just stick one on and go about your day while the salicylic acid gets to work behind the scenes — it's like a tiny undercover agent for your feet. How's that for low-effort wart removal? Promising review:"More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn't think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it's silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I'm telling you, I nearly cried. I've never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you've got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29. 13. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that'll get mad at you like a mother would, because how in the heck did you let your microwave get to this point? But hey, she's a mama, and in the end, she's gonna clean up the mess you made because she loves you too much to let you do it all on your own. Promising reviews:"This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." — Katy H "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped it down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 14. A mascara for lashes so dramatic, no one will believe you when you tell them you bought it for less than $5 on Amazon. No need to spend hours wrestling with falsies to get the long lashes of your dreams. Reviewers also rave that this lasts all day. Thank goodness! You have better things to do than re-apply throughout the day. BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd tried this out and raved:"As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes, and I'm terrible at applying them), this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes without the discomfort." For more info and review pics, check out Kayla's full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review! Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect, and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Weikert Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black and brown). 15. An earbud cleaning pen, because over time, listening to your favorite shows, movies, podcasts, and songs does eventually lead to a buildup of wax and dust that can diminish the quality of your entertainment sound experience. Simply use this baby to get rid of that yuckiness and then get ready to enjoy the best ever listen-through of Mayhem by Lady Gaga. Amazon Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members, and boy, am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big, chunky earwax out of your earpieces, and the long, skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" — JMilwaukee Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors). 16. A wood polish to help restore your wooden furniture back to factory condition. Did you just get your entire house redone by an HGTV crew, or are you just super good at picking out cleaning products? Promising review:"I've been using this since the '80s. My mom made us spring clean every spring break. We had to go over all the doors, all the woodwork, all the furniture, banisters, and cabinets. We also had to clean every wall, every cabinet, every closet, and every drawer out, lol. It was hell, let me tell you, but boy, do I know how to clean now! I now use this in my house and love it. It covers scratches and knicks and makes everything look new and shiny." — LB Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 17. A curl spray leave-in conditioner because other than how cute your lil' curly Q looks with their adorable ringlets, the knots and maintenance are a nightmare for you both. This spray is here to help detangle and provide soft, bouncy, defined curls. A pre-daycare styling session that doesn't end with screaming and crying? Now that's a parenting win!! This spray is ideal for all hair types and has tons of reviews from folks with 2a–4c curls who absolutely swear by it! Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bedhead! Now, it is gorgeous, soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" — Amazon Customer 18. Light-dimming stickers so the bright LED lights from all the cool tech items in your room (or, ya know, just your alarm clock) don't keep you awake at night. These dim 50–80% of light! Plus, they can always be cut or adjusted to your preferences/needs. Promising review:"This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape but this product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" — Logan M Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $3.99. 19. Water bottle cleaning tablets to get your beloved drinking bottle back to the condition it was in when you first fell in love with it at the store. I, for one, don't feel like taking a brush and soap and scrubbing away, and I'm going to make the assumption that you don't want to either. Tablets are biodegradable, chlorine-free, all-natural, and environmentally safe. Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.99. 20. A shadow powder for those looking to touch up their roots or fill in areas where their hair is a little thinner. All you have to do is tap the powder and fill! It's like a magic eraser for sparse spots — whether you're dealing with a little thinning or just stretching out that salon visit one more week. This stuff is cruelty-free and contains plant fibers and beeswax, so it's safe to use on your skin. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! If you have thinning hair or graying hair, this powder is a must-have. It even creates a bit of volume in my very thin hair. I've purchased many different hair products to conceal my thinning hair, most are ineffective, messy, or leave my hair feeling greasy. This is super easy to use; I even use it for my sparse eyebrows. I simply use a soft, small lip liner brush to fill in my brows for a natural look. I also love that it lasts 'til your next shampoo. At first, I didn't like the built-in sponge, but I've grown to really like it. The powder sticks to the sponge, making it easy to apply to whatever area you want to cover up, and the powder doesn't come off on pillows if you leave it on overnight." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in 13 shades). 21. A pumice toilet bowl ring remover so you can easily scratch away at those yucky stains without leaving behind scratch marks in the bowl. Now you won't have to apologize in advance any time one of your house guests uses the restroom. Promising review:"I have a 19-year-old primary bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, some elbow grease was required. But 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching." — Happy Retiree Get it from Amazon for $9.26. 22. A bug bite suction tool to help get rid of itchy bites. Because walking around with bumpy bites and the need to itch them 24/7 is never fun. Kinda rude that little buggies get to munch on our skin and blood, and we have to deal with the consequences after. This works by suctioning up insect venom, saliva, and other irritants under the skin, which in turn prevents your body from producing a reaction to said irritant. You can also use it to treat bites from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice. Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small biz! Promising review:"You need this! I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I used this little tool (3x per the instructions) and documented it with photos. Immediately after using it, [my bite] stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later, the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but it is a small price to pay, IMO. Bottom line: It's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five colors and in multi-packs). 23. A rust stain remover spray that'll prove that even the toughest of rust stains are no match for this cleaner's powerful gel formula. That rust stain that's been living rent-free on your shower wall since you moved in? The one you always have to cover with a shower curtain? Yeah, time to say goodbye to it for good. It comes in an easy-to-use trigger spray and is ideal for cleaning bathtubs, showers, toilets, colorfast fabrics, vertical surfaces, and hard-to-reach spots. Plus, it's nonabrasive and made with a nonhydrofluoric acid-based formula, which is safer than other similar liquid rust stain removers. Promising review:"We have a VERY high iron concentration in our well water at home, and it ends up slowly turning our shower, sink, and toilet a deep orange color over time. I have tried a ton of products to try to fix this issue, but nothing works nearly as well as this product. Smells absolutely terrible, but works AMAZING. A few spritzes of this, and you can watch the orange dissolve away before your eyes. I use this formula for the sink and inside of the shower, and use the powder formula for inside the toilet, as that seems to work better there. As stated earlier, the smell is awful and lingers until you rinse everything down, so definitely have windows open when using this product." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in multi-packs). 24. A spray-on foot mask if your dry/cracked feet could use a refresh after spending all winter in fuzzy socks, galore. All you have to do is spray this on, rub off dead skin (or use an exfoliating mitt), and rinse with soap and warm water. Thanks to moisturizing ingredients like aloe and coconut, your feet will be ready to rock your springtime sandals in a cinch. 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. In fact, I've even started using it on my cuticles. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT Get it from Amazon for $5.48+ (also available in a two-pack). 25. A breathable boob tape kit because sometimes your outfit (looking @ you, dresses and tank tops) calls for going braless, but you don't want them to sag either. Now you'll have a kit filled with satin petals, boob tape, and silicone pasties, so your tatas still have that bra-like lift. It even includes a test patch, so you can make sure the tape doesn't irritate your skin before wearing it. The tape is designed with a strong hold, so removal will require saturating the tape in oil before slowly and gently peeling it off! Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy, and they were too far down; one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y' stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I'm a D cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." — MelBee Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 26. A makeup brush cleansing shampoo to clean those things you use to apply cosmetics to your precious FACE. Because makeup buildup is yucky, and we don't want you to have to spend money on new brushes and sponges! Promising review:"I hate washing my brushes, I've always done it by hand and it's always caused the big fluffy powder brushes to feel rougher or become matted no matter how hard I try to reshape them. I got this solution and used it with a makeup brush spinner, and I couldn't BELIEVE how amazing my brushes were afterwards! I also have extremely sensitive skin and most any soap I put on a brush will cause me to breakout when I use it later, no matter how well I typically rinse it. But I really think that this cleaner and the brush spinner worked great and I haven't had any sensitive bumps on my skin since using them." — Chelsea Get it from Amazon for $6. 27. Schick Silk touch-up tools perfect for painless, precise eyebrow shaping, cleaning up peach fuzz hairs on your face, and even clearing away dead skin. These little guys go a long way. Whether you're on the go or just want a quick beauty refresh, these tools are your new best friend. Promising review:"I suppose it's my hearty German peasant ancestry, but I've always been a hairy girl. Plucking the more egregious of the thick black hairs is required at least two to three times a week. I'd been eying these razors for a while and finally took the plunge. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple of swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." — Tara D. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94. 28. An oven cleaning spray so next time you open the oven door and pop in dinner, you're not tempted to puke all over it because of the yucky buildup you've let your oven accumulate. Promising review:"I am amazed at this stuff. I've lived in my house for three years, and I have never cleaned my oven. I doubt the previous owners ever did, either. It was a blackened, grody mess. I sprayed a heavy coat of this stuff all over the inside and let it sit for a while. Then I got to scraping and wiping. I couldn't believe how much rock-hard soot came off. I gave some stubborn spots a second coat and eventually had the entire thing looking new. It's a miracle spray." — GinHum Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 29. A rosemary mint scalp and hair-strengthening oil formulated with a combination of over 30 essential oils and nutrients to help nourish your locks, potentially increase circulation, and help relieve an itchy scalp. Plus, it's great for all hair types and boasts working particularly well on types 3a–4c hair. Some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Every year, without fail, I experience a flaky, dry scalp at the end of winter/early spring. I've tried so many things throughout the years, but after putting this hair oil in a post, I convinced myself that I should try it. I was hesitant because my hair does have a tendency to get a bit oily (oily hair and a dry scalp, can I pick a struggle?!), but I figured I'd take the plunge. I am so glad I did. I've had this hair oil for three weeks, and NO FLAKY SCALP!!! No itchiness! Here's what I will say, tho: I have to be careful about when I choose to use this. I'm usually the kind of person who, if I'm going out for the day with friends, showers and washes my hair beforehand so my hair is clean and damp before styling. When I used the oil then, it did make my hair look greasy after styling. Now, what I do is wash my hair the night before, apply the oil, and let my hair air dry. The next morning, it's ready to style and doesn't look greasy! Not sure why this works better, but it just does! Promising review: "I hardly write reviews, but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fallout. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I've been using it only once a week. Just a few drops and massaging in. OMG, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented off!!" — Dee Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 30. A grout pen to get your floors shining like the top of the Chrysler building in no time at all. Did you hire a fancy schmancy service to clean your tiles? Nope, you used a PEN to cover it all up. The pen is ideal for use on floors and walls! Promising review:"These things are awesome! I cleaned my bathroom tile grout first because the lady who lived there before me really let it go. A few places stayed stained, and I was worried it wouldn't cover them, but all grout areas are bright white and look new after using this." — Donna K Cook Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and other colors).

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). 2. A wake up eye gel formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to up your eyes — and by that, we mean keep the skin around them hydrated while helping to cut down the appearance of puffiness and swelling. Evidence of the fact you keep going to sleep too late because you can't stop watching Real Housewives, begone! Good Molecules, Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. 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." — Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 3. Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne, pregnancy, injuries, or surgeries thanks to a powerful (but gentle) combo of vitamin A, vitamin E, sunflower, lavender, and chamomile oils. Your skin will thank you. Reviewers say it sinks into the skin easily and never ever leaves a greasy residue. 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. 4. A long-lasting liquid eyeliner that just so happens to be waterproof — a must for anyone whose tear ducts are already feeling the effects of those lovely springtime allergens in the air. It's also great for those who live in an eternal state of sweat during the warmer months but still want their makeup to stay intact. Yes, it is possible! Promising review:"Guys, I have hella hooded eyes, and any time I tried those expensive Sephora or Ulta eyeliners, they would smudge or fade INSTANTLY. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! The color pops, it's easy to use, and it NEVER SMUDGES, NEVER FLAKES, DOES NOT MOVE IN WATER!!! I fell asleep with it on, and it looked like I had just applied it when I woke up. ... Best eyeliner out there, take it from a girl who has tried ALL of those expensive eyeliners (Stila, Urban Decay, YOU NAME IT). I will never switch to anything else." — Jacky Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in 15 shades). 5. A cleansing oil designed to clean makeup residue, potentially clear up blackheads and sebum, and help minimize the appearance of pores and acne. It's hypoallergenic and the gentle formula plays well with sensitive and acne-prone skin, and many reviewers actually use it as a step in their double cleansing routine. Double cleansing = using an oil-based cleanser (like this one) and then a water-based cleanser afterward! If you're looking for a water-based cleanser to go with this one, reviewers love this pore-deep cleansing foam from the same brand for their double-cleansing routine! Promising review:"I don't usually leave reviews, but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER!!!!! It worked flawlessly after the first try, and I could actually see the results immediately!! My gosh, it's lightweight and smells relaxing. Massage it to your skin for 5–10 minutes, and you can see the magic. I will definitely add this to my skincare routine. JUST GET IT!!!!!" — Vince Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 6. A skin-renewing night cream containing three essential ceramides in a fragrance-free, non-irritating formula designed to bring your skin a delicious dose of hydration and softness, all while you SLEEP! Out: expensive (for literally no reason) night creams. In: THIS STUFF!!! It has new packaging, just FYI, if it looks different when you order it. Promising reviews: "CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream is my skincare savior! I use it every night and wake up to a dewy, plump complexion that's like magic. It's my secret weapon for fighting fine lines and wrinkles and keeping my skin hydrated and barrier-strong. As someone with sensitive skin, this dreamy overnight moisturizer is an absolute game changer!" — Brooke "I've been using the same cream for over seven years. Every other cream would break me out, not moisturize my skin enough, or just make me too oily. I got this because I've been breaking out and I've been trying to find something to calm my skin down. The first night I used this, my skin improved!! Redness/bumps reduced, my skin was soft. I have very sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin, and this did not irritate my face at all. I wake up, and my skin is soooo soft. My skin texture has drastically changed in just a week. My makeup applies so smoothly, and my pores even look better. My new go-to!" — Melody Get it from Amazon for $15.68. 7. A collagen hair protein treatment to help repair damage from things like heat, sun, and dye, just to name a few, because we want you to be able to do all the cool, experimental things with your hair. Go ahead — dye it, fry it, do whatever makes your heart happy. This stuff has your back. Promising review:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles Read our Elizavecca CER-100 collagen coating treatment review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $7.60. 8. A no-fuss self-tanning mousse that delivers a deep, bronzed glow minus the streaks or orange tones. This fast-developing formula gives you that just-back-from-vacation look without the sun damage. Because a great tan should be that easy! 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 10 shades). 9. A tube of Essence Lash Princess mascara to give you lashes so dramatic, no one will believe you when you tell them you bought it for less than $5 on Amazon. No need to spend hours wrestling with falsies to get the long lashes of your dreams. Reviewers also rave that this lasts all day. Thank goodness! You have better things to do than reapply throughout the day. Promising review: "I tried this mascara for the first time in 2020 after seeing it go viral on TikTok. It was too inexpensive not to try, right?!?! Well, let me just say how upset I was to find out this little inexpensive bottle outperformed EVERY expensive mascara I had ever bought. This is now the only stuff I use!" — Amanda Sims Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack and two colors). BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review. 10. Or an E.l.f. tubing mascara that wraps each lash and gives it a length only false lashes could compete with. PLUS, it's resistant to clumping, flaking, and if THAT wasn't enough, it comes off so easily that you'll no longer dread the process that is wiping off your mascara at the end of the day. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord considers herself a fan: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact, I readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 11. An eyebrow soap designed to help give sparse brows a more volumized look. It comes with an easy-to-use spoolie, and the soap is made of mild ingredients, so you can achieve that ~on fleek~ style quickly, easily, and for less money than the name brands — buh-bye, Anastasia Beverly Hills. Promising reviews:"I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I've used nearly every product from Anastasia Beverly Hills but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." — Bailey M, Deacon "This is so, so much better than the clear mascara that I was using. Ditto for the expensive eyebrow gel that I used before that. This stuff is not crunchy, not crusty, and doesn't wear off all day long. What it IS is nothing short of amazing: a little brow pencil and some of the eyebrow soap, and you have perfect brows all day, with no worries." — H. K. Rodman Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in a one- or two-piece set and with a brow gel). 12. A rosemary mint scalp and hair-strengthening oil formulated with a combination of over 30 essential oils and nutrients to help nourish your locks, increase circulation, and potentially provide relief to an itchy scalp. Plus, it's great for all hair types and boasts working particularly well on types 3a–4c hair. According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Every year, without fail, I experience a flaky, dry scalp at the end of winter/early spring. I've tried so many things throughout the years, but after putting this hair oil in a post, I convinced myself that I should try it. I was hesitant because my hair does have a tendency to get a bit oily (oily hair and a dry scalp, can I pick a struggle?!), but I figured I'd take the plunge. I am so glad I did. I've had this hair oil for three weeks, and NO FLAKY SCALP!!! No itchiness! Here's what I will say, tho: I have to be careful about when I choose to use this. I'm usually the kind of person who if I'm going out for the day with friends, shower and wash my hair beforehand so my hair is clean and damp before styling. When I used the oil then, it did make my hair look greasy after styling. Now, what I do is wash my hair the night before, apply the oil, and let my hair air dry. The next morning, it's ready to style and doesn't look greasy! Not sure why this works better, but it just does! Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 13. A Briotech spray reviewers say is a GREAT alternative to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray — both are formulated with hypochlorous acid, an ingredient that helps calm inflammation and redness. Just give your skin a little spritz and bask in the relief! BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings. Promising reviews: "This is a [swap] for the Tower 28 spray that's 28 bucks for 4-ounces. I use this after cleansing my face before toners or serums. It's healed my acne. Also great for eczema. I have recommended this to so many people. Thanks, Biotech, for saving me money! Lifelong customer here." — Mea Beauty "Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray! It's been absolutely amazing at reducing acne and texture! It's also so refreshing and gives a lil' glow. So in love!" — BK Get an 8-ounce bottle from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and in packs of two). 14. A styling mousse that's especially great for folks with curly or textured hair. It's made with coconut and shea oils to help give locks some volume, definition, shine, and hold without unwanted stiffness. Say adios crunchy hair! Promising review:"First, let me start with the price. My favorite thing about this product is its price versus its quality. Most times, we find a low or responsible-priced let's say you get what you pay for, so usually you're left disappointed, BUT this stuff is wonderful. The smell, the de-tangling ability it has, plus I love how soft my hair is and my curls. No stiff hair and, on the days I want a little more hold or crispness, I just mix some of my firmer hold mousse in with this in my hands before I apply it. Wish I knew bout this product sooner. Thanks, TikTok." — Angelia Taggarrt Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 15. A lip repair balm from O'Keeffe's (yep, the same brand that makes the beloved Working Hands cream) — this awesome stuff contains deep conditioning oils to relieve dry, cracked lips overnight. Waking up with a smooth kisser? You're one "add to cart" away. Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic, and I won't go anywhere without it now." — Anna C. Adams Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a pack of two). 16. A pack of dark spot remover soap bars formulated with a combo of *takes a deep breath* vitamins C and E, turmeric, retinol, hyaluronic acid, kojic acid, olive oil, and shea butter to help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of dark skin spots and acne marks, and even skin tone. Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it, but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS. I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture, but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney Get them from Amazon for $14.99. 17. A L'Oreal Paris rinse-out lamellar water treatment with a cult following that'll leave your locks looking shiny and silky in just eight seconds. It boasts the same ingredients found in Redken's lamellar treatment for a fraction of the price. Promising reviews:"Wow! I have waist-length 3c curly color-treated hair that's usually a nightmare to deal with in the summer, and this stuff is a game changer. My hair is silky, my curls are defined, it dried in like half the usual time…seriously impressed!" — Stavana Jubinsky "I'm a professional hairstylist and Matrix, Redken, and L'Oreal are all owned by L'Oreal, and each line has a lamellar water in it at different prices. I am here to tell you that they are all the exact same ingredients in different bottles. So buy the cheapest and save yourself some cash. Your hair will love you for it. I love this stuff." — anonymous87 Get it from Amazon for $10.97. 18. A fan-favorite E.l.f. Cosmetics primer that glides on like butter and helps reduce the appearance of pores. In turn, this makes for SEAMLESS makeup application. When I say your foundation will GLIDE right onto your skin and look airbrushed, I mean it!!! I'm speaking from personal experience here, BTW. I purchased this on a whim, and it's been one of my holy grail beauty products since 2023. There are some days I just quickly put on foundation without putting on this primer first, and I NOTICE the difference because my face doesn't look nearly as smooth. Promising review:"This is magic cream. My face looks so fresh all day. It blurs the lines and age spots just enough so I don't look like my foundation is caked on. I usually have to powder or blot my face during the day, and I haven't had to ever since I started using this a month ago. My face stays flawless all day. If only they could make eye makeup that holds up that well." — Should I buy this Get it from Amazon for $10. 19. A nail renewal treatment to give damaged nails a much-needed refresh. While it's not a substitute for prescription treatments, it works to improve the look of nails that have seen better days. Think of it as a little TLC for your toes! To use, you just apply a thin layer twice a day (morning and night) to the affected area and under the edge of the nail for a week — after that, switch to applying once per day at night. Promising review: "I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application." — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 20. A L'Oreal glow-enhancing lotion that'll give the expensive bronzing drops you've been eyeing a run for their money. This glycerin-infused illuminator can be mixed with your favorite moisturizer or foundation and worn as a makeup base OR as a highlight or bronzer. Glowy skin, here you come. Reviewers say it's similar to the Drunk Elephant bronzing drops! Promising reviews: "Magic! I am blown away by how good this product is. I really didn't expect much from it, to be honest. It covers like a BB cream and has a pretty dewy finish. I originally got it to put under makeup as a moisturizer/glowy finish, but I just wear it alone mostly because it looks so nice. For reference, I wore Dr Jarts BB cream before, so not a heavy foundation. I find it similar to that coverage but a fraction of the cost." — Simone "I've been using this product for seven months, and I 've been complimented almost weekly about how I get my skin to look so dewy and glowy. I use this all over with a good coverage foundation, and I've never felt/looked so sunkissed. Such an amazing product for a killer price!" — Natalie Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in five shades). 21. A colorful eyeshadow palette featuring 40 matte, shimmer, and metallic shades that'll make doing your eye makeup feel like painting. If you remember the James Charles x Morphe palette but never bought it because of its $40 price tag, then this veryyy similar under $10 alternative is perfect. Promising reviews: "Clearly time I got a new eyeshadow palette. Sargent Freddie Mercury (my not-even 4-pound bunny) made it his mission to destroy my James Charles overpriced palette. This palette is the same quality, maybe even nicer. This eyeshadow was put on at around 3 p.m., and it's almost 1 a.m. The 'highlight' stayed on my nose, even with my mask on through a whole day of work. That blew my mind." — Daniel T Adams "Best palette I've owned, and you can't beat this price! The colors are beautiful and vibrant. They are also extremely pigmented, especially the shimmery colors, and they all seem to blend well. I'm happy to have every color I could ever want in an eyeshadow in the palm of my hands, and I've been experimenting with colors I've never worn before!!" — Mary Diamond Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 22. A nail strengthening cream that's been a cult favorite for ages and is packed with ingredients like calcium and jojoba oil to help nourish brittle nails. Whether you're giving your nails a break from gels, growing them out after a bad break, or just want them to look healthier, this little jar has your back. Natural tips, here you come — no salon appointment required. Promising review:"I've been using this product for almost a month. Before, my nails were bendy, paper thin, and had little ridges. After applying this product almost every day, three times a day, I can grow my nails without fear. They are smooth, pretty, and have excellent white tips. They still have a slight flexibility to them but are leagues better than where they were, and I'm hoping with continued use, my nails will be hard as hoof, ha. After trying so many products, I believe this one is a holy grail." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.88. 23. An E.l.f. Cosmetics melting lip balm in the shade "Ecstatic," which reviewers say gives the same effortless, your-lips-but-better look as Clinique's "Black Honey" — but for a fraction of the price. This balm-lipstick hybrid glides right on, so you can add a sheer wash of color while keeping your lips hydrated. It's the kind of low-maintenance, throw-it-in-every-bag essential that makes getting ready way easier. 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 five other shades). 24. A biotin shampoo that could help hair look thicker by strengthening strands to prevent breakage. It's made with a blend of botanical extracts to help nourish and cleanse your scalp. If your shower had a VIP section, this bottle would definitely be on the list. Maple Holistics is a small personal care brand founded by lifelong pals Ben and Motti after they searched for solutions to Ben's hair loss and scalp irritation. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not a fan of the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four sizes and three scents). 25. A lightweight CeraVe retinol serum made with encapsulated retinol — that's when traditional retinol is shelled and, therefore, is absorbed at a slower rate over time, which may prevent the irritation or redness of non-encapsulated retinol. Plus, you still get to reap similar benefits like brighter skin and a reduction of post-acne marks! And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. It's recommended to use this at night and follow up with sunscreen in the morning! Promising review: "This product is magic in a bottle!!! I have been struggling to find a good skincare routine that will remove my acne scars and remove dark spots on my face. I will forever buy this product! I've only been using this for two weeks and noticed a huge difference right away! I am so excited to clean my face in the morning and night now! I also bought the Cerave hydrating cleanser, moisturizer, and eye cream and they have been amazing as well! CeraVe is the best! Don't think twice about this product, just buy it!!!" — mallory brook bravo Check out BuzzFeed editor Daniel Boan 's Cerave Resurfacing Retinol Serum review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $18.68. 26. A 2-in-1 eyeliner that also happens to be false eyelash glue because your time is precious, so saving yourself the step of having to apply eyelash glue OVER your eyeliner without smudging it in the process will really pay off in the long run. If you're looking for falsies people *love* (you've probably seen them on TikTok), try the Ardell wispies — you can get them from Amazon for $10.19. Some people cut them apart for that ~individual~ look. Some reviewers mention removing the liner is a little difficult to remove but many reviewers agree using micellar water or a cleansing balm works! Promising review: "What sorcery is this?! After years of trying to put on falsies, I gave up and opted for waterproof mascaras and eyelash growth serums. Of course, the mascaras and serums only did so much. Then the stars aligned, and I came across this eyeliner glue magic from the heavens! IT WORKS, FRIENDS! I apply two coats, and BAM! These babies stay on all day. I've worn lashes from Eyelure, KISS, and House of Lashes — all of them stayed put for over 12 hours, and they looked flawless. I even drove down the highway with the windows open, and they didn't budge! I use a makeup remover balm from Good Molecules to remove my eye makeup, and it gently removes the lash glue, leaving the lashes ready for another day. I'm about to stock up on these before prices go up!! Both the black and clear work great." — KareBear Get the liner from Amazon for $7.49. 27. A hair wax stick formulated with beeswax, vitamin E, avocado oil, and more plant-based ingredients to provide a nongreasy, nonhardening solution to smoothing frizzy hairs and stray strands. This is especially great for fans of the slicked-back ponytail look. Promising review:"This wax stick effortlessly tames even the most stubborn flyaways and unruly strands. Its unique formula provides a firm hold without the stiffness or flaking associated with traditional hairsprays. It keeps my hair looking sleek and polished all day long. The compact, easy-to-use stick design makes application a breeze. Simply swipe it over flyaways or areas that need a touch-up. The wax glides on smoothly and blends seamlessly, leaving no visible residue." — cwin Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 28. A tea tree oil and body wash that can help mitigate a plethora of common skin troubles like athlete's foot, acne, ringworm, and dry skin — just to name a few. Side effects include wondering where the heck this little miracle worker has been your whole life?! Learn more about the many uses of tea tree oil at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews:"I usually use Dr. Bronner's, but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using it. Love the fresh smell." — KJeanine ATL "This is my favorite body wash ever! I was dealing with some serious postpartum BO, and this saved me! Results from the first use!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a two-pack). 29. A spray-on foot mask if your dry/cracked feet could use a refresh after spending all winter in fuzzy socks, galore. All you have to do is spray this on, rub off dead skin (or use an exfoliating mitt), and rinse with soap and warm water. Thanks to moisturizing ingredients like aloe and coconut, your feet will be ready to rock your springtime sandals in a cinch. 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. In fact, I've even started using it on my cuticles. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT Get it from Amazon for $5.48+ (also available in a two-pack). 30. An E.l.f. liquid blush — whether you've been on the liquid blush train for some time now or you're looking to get aboard, this inexpensive (less than $10!!!) option is the perfect pick. It boasts gorgeous pigmentation and blends so smoothly. And! Reviewers say it's very similar to Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch liquid blush (which is more than double the price). Promising review: "Imagine sweeping on a blush that feels like a little whisper of color, just enough to give your cheeks that perfect, healthy glow. That's what you get with the E.l.f. blush. The formula is silky smooth, blends like a dream, and sits on your skin so naturally it's like a second skin. Whether you're going for a natural daytime look or amping it up for a night out, this blush has got your back. It's like a little magic in a compact, and it won't break the bank either. Plus, it's kind to our furry friends! Honestly, it's a total game-changer in your makeup routine! 🌟" — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 12 shades).

Your new holy grail for concealing dark circles hath arrived! The color adaptive formula is designed so one of four 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." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 4. A fan-favorite Sol de Janeiro body cream made with guarana and cupuacu butter to bring smoothness and hydration to your skin. Best of all, it has a delish pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla scent and is gonna have everyone you talk to commenting on how darn good you smell. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. 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+ (available in three sizes). 5. A set of acne patches you can apply over a popped whitehead. Simply put the patch over a zit, let it sit overnight or throughout the day, peel it off, and watch it take all the pore-clogging gunk with it. Promising reviews:"At first, I was kinda skeptical as they're seen on TikTok, but these are amazing. You don't see them, makeup goes right over it, and most importantly, they WORK!" — Ashley "I am a 40-some-year-old woman who still gets pimples. I tried a wide swath of pimple patches. These are the best. Like the goldilocks of patches — some were very adherent but took off skin to remove, and some fell off very quickly — these are just right. And they work. They reduce the inflammation and keep gunk from getting in. They also keep you from picking at the zit. My teenage daughter also uses them, and they work for her. I have very fair skin, and she is much darker, and they seem to blend nicely with both skin tones." — K. Dahl Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a 72-pack). 6. A butt acne-clearing lotion because, yes, acne on the derriere *is* a thing, and if you're reading this thinking you were alone in this struggle, we're here to remind you, you're not. Enter this product made with pure plant extracts like Australian tea oil to help target the root of this annoyance on your booty and help kick it in the ~behind~. Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"I've battled painful acne on my rear end for years, and no dermatologist, cream, scrub, antibiotics, or ointment has ever been able to keep it under control. I bought this cream on a whim based solely on the reviews, and I'm so glad I did! After just one week of treatment, the acne was gone! No more painful days sitting at my desk or nights wondering if sitting on the couch too long was going to make my butt sweaty and cause another breakout. It's been almost two months, and just following the recommendations on the bottle, the acne hasn't returned. The scars from previous breakouts are even starting to fade. This cream is amazing, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. You won't regret this purchase." — deirdreD Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 7. A Briotech spray reviewers say is a GREAT alternative to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray — both are formulated with hypochlorous acid to help calm inflammation and redness. Need a refresh after a long flight? Springtime allergies irritating your skin earlier than usual this year? Just give your skin a little spritz and bask in the relief! BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings. Promising review: " What is this sorcery? OK, so I'm not gonna lie. I thought all of the before and after pics were fake, but I was desperate, so I bought this stuff anyway. I had been dealing with an irritation bump for almost three months that I couldn't get rid of, so I did some research and tried a variety of home remedies, none of which worked. Then I stumbled upon the Briotech spray and saw the before and after pictures and wanted soooo badly to believe them. I also didn't want to get my hopes up, so I wrote them off as fake. I bought this stuff anyway (again, I was desperate), and I'm SO glad I did. I bought it on Sept. 5, and my bump (which was huge and awful) was completely gone on Sept. 25. I'm still in shock that it worked, but I'm so happy it did. Buy this! Stick with it, and I promise you won't regret it!" — iamericadelaney Get a 4-ounce bottle from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five sizes and packs of two and four). 8. A lightweight snail essence (no snails are harmed in the making of this product, promise) that'll deliver seriously good hydration, and can help brighten your skin and reduce/prevent acne. Plus, it sinks in fast without any sticky residue, so your face feels refreshed and bouncy, instead of a glazed donut left out too long. Promising review:"My skin dries out severely during the winter, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me. Eww!! I resisted for weeks, refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month, I finally gave in, and boy, it was amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer, and it doesn't leave a disgusting, greasy feel like Vaseline. Take it from a once-nonbeliever: You have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." — Kyoko Ozaki Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a pack of two). 9. A body scrub for buffing away red bumps. Use it one to two times a week for smoother skin — it's like a microdermabrasion treatment at a fraction of the cost and without having to leave the house. Consider it a little upgrade for your shower routine, minus the extra effort. Promising review:"I've had keratosis pilaris since I was a teenager (it's especially bad on my thighs), and after trying dozens of products to treat it with no luck, this magical product is the only thing that's truly worked for me. I usually use this once a week for maintenance, but in the winter if I notice a flare-ups and I get have drier, rougher, bumpier skin, I use this twice a week, and any flare-ups disappear within the week. I scrub it over my thighs and then actually let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. I have notorious sensitive skin, and I've never had an issue with this before. It's truly the best product out there for any fellow KP sufferers out there!" — Ciera Velarde, former BuzzFeed editor Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three scents and two sizes). 10. A spray-on foot mask if your dry/cracked feet could use a refresh after spending all winter in fuzzy socks galore. All you have to do is spray this on, rub off dead skin (or use an exfoliating mitt), and rinse with soap and warm water. Thanks to moisturizing ingredients like aloe and coconut, your feet will be ready to rock your springtime sandals in a cinch. 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. In fact, I've even started using it on my cuticles. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT Get it from Amazon for $5.48+ (also available in a two-pack). 11. A vitamin C serum crafted with an A-list roster of skincare ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, salicylic acid, and retinol. It can be used to help treat acne, brighten complexion, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and hydrate thirsty skin. Check out our TruSkin Vitamin C Serum deep dive for more info! Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! I am 39 and have dark spots on my face from sun damage and some scarring from cystic acne. Holy cow, this has lightened my dark spots by at least 75%. Honestly a miracle. And for the price! Other brands are four times the price. Try this out for sure. Stick to it and give it some time. I saw an amazing difference, so so happy with it. Also, some of the best customer service I've ever had." — Ashley F. Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes). 12. A blackhead remover you simply glide over your face to help scrub away sebum, blackheads, whiteheads, and other skin impurities. The little octopus is so cute, you may wanna buy it for that reason alone. Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me. It smells great, too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt was visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, and then used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." — LuckLocust Get it from Amazon for $8.75. 13. A tattoo aftercare cream formulated with fatty-acid and antioxidant-rich ingredients to help moisturize and soothe newly inked skin. Hey, you didn't sit through all that buzzing just for your tattoo to look dull — keep it looking bold and fresh with this amazing stuff. Mad Rabbit is a small biz that sells clean and natural tattoo skincare products and was featured on 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 (available in two scents). 14. The Olay Super Serum body wash — a little luxury for your shower that actually earns its spot in the corner with your shampoo and conditioner bottles. Packed with niacinamide, peptides, and vitamin C, it's like a fancy skincare cocktail, but for your whole body. Basically, if your skin could put in a special request at the bar, this would be it. Promising review:"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 (available in three options). 15. A pack of overnight hydrogel masks because anything that works tirelessly to improve skin while you channel your inner Sleeping Beauty is an automatic "need to purchase" moment. Pop it on after your nighttime skin routine, leave it on while you sleep (don't worry, it won't leave residue on your pillow), and remove it the next morning! It'll help hydrate, brighten, tighten, and potentially reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 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 $15.20. 16. A daily face cream that actually doubles as a makeup primer because simplifying your skincare/makeup routine with a hydrating product packed with shea butter, aloe vera, beeswax, and soy proteins deserves a major "add to cart" click immediately. Not to mention, less time on your beauty routine = increased opportunity for you to be on time for all of your social your job. Promising review: "So far, I am loving this lotion. I put it on every morning under my makeup, and it leaves my face perfectly moisturized all day long. I also noticed I use less foundation because it's so moisturizing. I don't believe there is any miracle moisturizer that will ever get rid of our crow's-feet, laugh lines, neck sagging, etc., but this moisturizer helps reduce the look of these problems as long as they're not deep surface. I'm 68 years old and never was someone who was a 'sun worshipper'; fortunately, I stopped smoking in 1980 after smoking for 15 years. Those two things do a lot of damage to your skin, so to all young women reading this who are doing these two things, take it from me: If you want to retain healthy, youthful skin, stop these too-harmful habits. Use sunscreen when you are in the sun, and use moisturizer now. Embryolisse seems to be a good place to start!" — Janet Cahill Get it from Amazon for $17. 17. An Eos body lotion for anyone whose skin is reeling from the effects of a long winter in the form of dryness and irritation this spring (same). This moisturizer boasts up to 24 hours of hydration and a formula of seven nourishing oils and butter (including shea butter). PLUS! It's ideal for use on sensitive skin, smells lovely, AND costs less than $10. I am a winter hater to my core. I am sorry, but I do not like cold weather or the fact that the majority of it is spent living in darkness. My skin agrees with me on this one — every year, once late fall strikes, my skin gets dry, red, and irritated. Not only that but with ~sick szn~ in the air, I am constantly washing my hands, sometimes to the point of bleeding. I was in need of a new bottle of body lotion, and I decided upon this one because of all the great reviews (and even better price point). It smells SO yummy. I got the vanilla cashmere, and I like that the scent lingers on my skin for several hours. It's sweet but not sickeningly so. It's nice and gentle on my skin and has done a great job preventing my skin from feeling dry. At the time of writing, it's now March, and by now, my skin has gone bonkers with dryness, but thanks to consistently using this stuff, it's remained nice and calm all winter is saying a lot because this winter has been more harsh than recent winters where I live. I truly love this stuff. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Absorbs 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 Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in many scents, larger sizes, and multipacks). 18. Or a body gel cream featuring a fast-absorbing formula that's essentially a drink of water for your skin. You may already be familiar with Neutrogena's Hydro Boost water gel face cream, and it's time to bring that same moisturizing goodness to the rest of your body. Promising review:"I have very dry sensitive skin and this lotion is amazing. I found it on TikTok and decided to give it a try because it's hard to find good quality and affordable fragrance-free lotion. And let me tell you, this is some of the best lotion I have ever used. I'm currently on my fifth bottle. I have very dry skin, so it's hard to find a good moisturizing location that doesn't leave me feeling greasy. This lotion has never left me feeling greasy. It's very lightweight." — The Edick's Get it from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in two sizes). 19. A 10-ingredient cleansing balm with a buttery and silky texture that'll practically melt your makeup away minus the greasy/stripped feeling other makeup removers tend to cause. Reviewers also love this stuff for sunscreen removal! Basically, you're gonna wonder how you ever made it this far taking off your makeup at the end of a night without this amazing stuff. Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products. Promising review:"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 20. Or a cleansing oil designed to clean makeup residue, potentially clear up blackheads and sebum, and help minimize the appearance of pores and acne. It's hypoallergenic and the gentle formula plays well with sensitive and acne-prone skin, and many reviewers actually use it as a step in their double cleansing routine. Double cleansing = using an oil-based cleanser (like this one) and then a water-based cleanser afterward! If you're looking for a water-based cleanser to go with this one, reviewers love this pore-deep cleansing foam from the same brand for their double-cleansing routine! Promising review:"I don't usually leave reviews, but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER!!!!! It worked flawlessly after the first try, and I could actually see the results immediately!! My gosh, it's lightweight and smells relaxing. Massage it to your skin for 5–10 minutes, and you can see the magic. I will definitely add this to my skincare routine. JUST GET IT!!!!!" — Vince Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 21. An exfoliating glove that'll help slough away dead skin so easily, you'll be confused as to how you made it this long without owning this genius product. It's kinda like your ex — once it's gone, you'll wonder why you didn't ditch it sooner. 🤭 Promising review:"Just received this item after reading about it multiple times on BuzzFeed. I've never made an effort to exfoliate beyond a sugar scrub, but my new waxer said it was essential. This product is great. It removed more dead skin than I thought possible and left my skin soft and looking refreshed. I do have sensitive skin, so I was careful to follow the instructions as written and had no skin discomfort or reaction." — Katherine E. Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a pack of two). 22. A hydrating eye stick because it may help alleviate dark circles and puffiness — but let's be real, you're mostly gonna want to buy this for the satisfying cooling sensation it'll give your skin and the v cute polar bear. Promising review:"I tried this after seeing TikTok reviews. I love how it feels when it goes on. It's very cooling and soothing. I used it during the day to freshen my under-eye area. I just ordered more, so I have one in my purse and car as well!" — MaryR Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three formulas). 23. A pack of dark spot remover soap bars formulated with a combo of vitamins C and E, turmeric, retinol, hyaluronic acid, kojic acid, olive oil, and shea butter to help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of dark skin spots and acne marks, and even skin tone. Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it, but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS. I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99. 24. The Ordinary's AHA 30% Peeling Solution that boasts a super similar ingredient list to Drunk Elephant's T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial for a fraction of the $$ AND provides similar results. So what does this blood-red solution even do? It's designed to reduce pore congestion and exfoliate the outer layers of skin to improve its texture and radiance. Here are some other skincare products designed to help you get a more even skin tone, BTW. This solution uses a mixture of glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid. The first two are alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that exfoliate the skin's outer layer, while the last one, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), reduces pore congestion. Promising review:"This is my new favorite peel product! In 10 minutes, my skin looked glowy and smooth, and felt soft and even. There was zero irritation, just healthy, happy skin. Babyfacial works, but always left my skin red, extra oily, and hot to the touch. Not this product though! Not to mention it literally costs less than 10% of what Babyfacial costs." — ClaireEB Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $9.50. 25. A hydrating multi-balm stick featuring a portable design that's super easy to bring on the go any time your face is in need of a lil' moisture boost. Not only that, but this nifty stick may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and smooth fine lines thanks to the collagen-rich formula. Promising review: " I was skeptical at first, but honestly, this stick is life-changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me; will def try the others!" — Kristy Get it from Amazon for $17.50+ (available in other formulas). 26. Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne, pregnancy, injuries, or surgeries thanks to a powerful (but gentle) combo of vitamin A, vitamin E, sunflower, lavender, and chamomile oils. Your skin will thank you. 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. 27. A lightweight CeraVe retinol serum made with encapsulated retinol — that's when traditional retinol is shelled and, therefore, absorbs at a slower rate over time, which may prevent the irritation or redness of non-encapsulated retinol. Plus, you still get to reap similar benefits like brighter skin and a reduction of post-acne marks! And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. It's recommended to use this at night and follow up with sunscreen in the morning! Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this stuff! I saw a dermatologist on TikTok who raved about this product and tried it out, and it's been the most amazing stuff! It's helped my face to clear up very quickly removing all of the blemish spots and dark spots around my face. It's been one of the best products I've added to my face routine. This would be great for all ages/stages and for any weather types." — Successful Solo "I bought this for my teenager to use for his acne scars, but he ended up not using it. I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try. I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside." — C. Munsterman Check out BuzzFeed editor Daniel Boan 's Cerave Resurfacing Retinol Serum review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $16.49. 28. And on the topic of retinol, a skin-firming retinol body lotion that gives your skin the VIP treatment without the high-maintenance routine. It hydrates, smooths, and actually sinks in, so you're not stuck doing that awkward 'waiting for lotion to dry' dance. Your arms and legs deserve just as much love as your face!!!! Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion. After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft, moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational. It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTockAlice Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in other formulas). 29. A reusable oil-absorbing face roller that'll be a lifesaver for anyone who tends to get extra oily. Just glide it over your face, it's THAT easy. Say goodbye to blotting sheets and hello to a quick touch-up that keeps you looking fresh all 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 back-ordered, 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 $7.50. 30. A pack of exfoliating pads aimed at helping reduce the appearance of pores. I know, I know — it sounds too good to be true, but gimme a second to tell you how these work. One side of the pad (the ~exfoliation side~) cleans out pores and dead skin cells, while the other side of the pad (the ~embossed side~) smooths and tones for a silky finish. Don't believe me? See for yourself! Promising review:"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it's been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. The product is soothing, gentle on my skin (I have extremely sensitive skin), has no strong smell, the cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value, and I'll definitely be repurchasing these." — Ee El Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17.90 (available in four other styles). 31. Or an adorably packaged K-beauty serum (hello, look at the little piggy!!!) that'll help give your pores HELL! No, really, it's called Hell Pore Control Serum. This hyaluronic acid serum is meant to help tighten pores, restore moisture to your skin, and leave it feeling soft in the process. Amazon, Promising review:"If I could give this 10 stars, I would! I ran out of The Ordinary hyaluronic acid I've been using for a year, and no stores close sold it, so I gave this a try. So glad I did because it's a thousand times better!! I put it on first, then moisturizer, after I put on my primer and makeup, and it looks the best it's ever looked. My pores were smaller in just three days, and my skin was so hydrated. I have combo skin, so my T-zone gets awfully oily. The fix is to make sure your skin is hydrated. Also, the bottle is twice the size of The Ordinary! This does it all!!! So very impressed." — smnthfinch Get it from Amazon for $8.21. Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.

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). 2. A wake up eye gel formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to up your eyes — and by that, we mean keep the skin around them hydrated while helping to cut down the appearance of puffiness and swelling.

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.

Go ahead — dye it, fry it, do whatever makes your heart happy. This stuff has your back. Promising review:"I bought this based on a review in a BuzzFeed article. I have long, thick, curly hair and use this maybe once a week. I get a ton of compliments every time, and I absolutely love the way my hair feels afterward. So amazingly soft. I use it in the shower and usually wash my hair and then towel dry it. I put a small amount in my hair, mostly on the roots. Let it sit while I shave my legs, and then rinse it out and comb through with a wide-tooth comb. I allow my hair to air dry, and bam, amazing hair. This will forever be part of my hair routine now." — m. damocles Read our Elizavecca CER-100 collagen coating treatment review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $7.60. 4.

Promising reviews:"I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. This was super easy, didn't hurt my teeth at all, and didn't taste much different than my regular toothpaste since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother's wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" — Victoria Bravo " Saw this on BuzzFeed — they were right! It's easy to use and actually works. I was so surprised at how well this pen bleached out some coffee stains on my teeth after just one application. I've tried Crest Whitestrips, and this is better because you can get in between the teeth." — CS Get a pack of two from Amazon for $17.95. 5. An E.l.f. tubing mascara that wraps each lash and gives it a length only false lashes could compete with. PLUS, it's resistant to clumping, flaking, and if THAT wasn't enough, it comes off so easily, you'll no longer dread the process that is wiping off your mascara at the end of the day. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord considers herself a fan: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact, I readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 6. The Olay Super Serum body wash — a little luxury for your shower that actually earns its spot in the corner with your shampoo and conditioner bottles. Packed with niacinamide, peptides, and vitamin C, it's like a fancy skincare cocktail, but for your whole body. Basically, if your skin could put in a special request at the bar, this would be it. Amazon Promising review:"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 (available in three options). 7. A cleansing oil designed to clean makeup residue, potentially clear up blackheads and sebum, and help minimize the appearance of pores and acne. It's hypoallergenic and the gentle formula plays well with sensitive and acne-prone skin, and many reviewers actually use it as a step in their double cleansing routine. Double cleansing = using an oil-based cleanser (like this one) and then a water-based cleanser afterward! If you're looking for a water-based cleanser to go with this one, reviewers love this pore-deep cleansing foam from the same brand for their double-cleansing routine! Promising review:"I don't usually leave reviews, but this product is the best cleansing oil EVER!!!!! It worked flawlessly after the first try, and I could actually see the results immediately!! My gosh, it's lightweight and smells relaxing. Massage it to your skin for 5–10 minutes, and you can see the magic. I will definitely add this to my skincare routine. JUST GET IT!!!!!" — Vince Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 8. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes featuring "floss" bristles that are designed to reach between your teeth (bye-bye little food bits hiding in there) and are formulated with nano-silver, which may help kill off microbes left on the bristles. Your other toothbrushes simply cannot relate!!! Mouthwatchers is a small biz that sells antimicrobial toothbrushes, which are also available in bundle sets and travel-sized options! I started using this toothbrush a few months ago and I'm not exaggerating when I tell you my mouth feels cleaner post-brushing with this toothbrush than any other ones I've used. I will say the floss bristles at first can be a little rough, but I very quickly got used to it and now I'm a fan of these for life. Promising review:"Like most people, I've tried any number of toothbrushes (electric and manual) and can't say I've ever experienced an appreciable or memorable difference. Until this one. This one's approach to gum care got my attention. And they deliver. I can't remember the last time my mouth felt so clean without any torture involved. Highly recommend." — Emma Hunter Get two from Amazon for $9.99. 9. A moisturizing body wash containing notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber to help make shower time a whole lot more luxurious for under $10. Reviewers say it smells JUST like Baccarat Rouge having to spend $335 on a bottle of perfume! Amazon, Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in Pear Blossom and Wild Iris Musk scents). 10. A callus-removal gel so you can experience the baby-soft feet you not only want but truly deserve. Sure, you could just go to the salon and get a pedicure, but when this entire bottle costs a fraction of the price of ONE it's a no-brainer, isn't it? Not to mention, you can stay home and wear your pajamas. A win-win. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three scents, multipacks, and with or without a foot file). 11. An E.l.f. Cosmetics melting lip balm in the shade "Ecstatic," which reviewers say gives the same effortless, your-lips-but-better look as Clinique's "Black Honey" — but for a fraction of the price. This balm-lipstick hybrid glides right on, so you can add a sheer wash of color while keeping your lips hydrated. It's the kind of low-maintenance, throw-it-in-every-bag essential that makes getting ready way easier. 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 five other shades). 12. Overnight nose strips to help clean out popped zits taking up residency near your schnozz. Just slap one on before bed, get your beauty sleep, and wake up to the satisfying proof that it's been hard at work. Who knew evicting whiteheads could be this easy? Amazon Peach Slices is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising review:"I use these once a week and they really help my huge nose pores look way smaller and cleaner. The first time, I still had some oil and gunk in my pores, but the second time, I had even less. By the third time I used them, the only oil was on the patch, and my nose has never looked better. My pores appear smaller, and my nose is smoother." — Sarah Cavasos Get a pack of seven for $9.98. 13. A nail strengthening cream that's been a cult favorite for ages, packed with ingredients like calcium and jojoba oil to help nourish brittle nails. Whether you're giving your nails a break from gels, growing them out after a bad break, or just want them to look healthier, this little jar has your back. Natural tips, here you come — no salon appointment required. Promising review:"I've been using this product for almost a month. Before, my nails were bendy, paper thin, and had little ridges. After applying this product almost every day, three times a day, I can grow my nails without fear. They are smooth, pretty, and have excellent white tips. They still have a slight flexibility to them but are leagues better than where they were, and I'm hoping with continued use, my nails will be hard as hoof, ha. After trying so many products, I believe this one is a holy grail." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.88. 14. A nail renewal treatment to give damaged nails a much-needed refresh. While it's not a substitute for prescription treatments, it works to improve the look of nails that have seen better days. Think of it as a little TLC for your toes! To use, you just apply a thin layer twice a day (morning and night) to the affected area and under the edge of the nail for a week — after that, switch to applying once per day at night. Promising review: 'I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application. ' — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 15. A warm, sweet rollerball perfume that somehow manages to bottle up the scent of waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones —all for just a few bucks. Some reviewers even compare it to the beloved $65 Pink Sugar perfume. 👀 If smelling like a cozy, delicious treat is your vibe, this little gem belongs in your bag ASAP. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $6.20 (available in two styles). 16. A rosemary mint scalp and hair-strengthening oil formulated with a combination of over 30 essential oils and nutrients to help nourish your locks, increase circulation, and potentially provide relief to an itchy scalp. Plus, it's great for all hair types and boasts working particularly well on types 3a–4c hair. Every year, without fail, I experience a flaky, dry scalp at the end of winter/early spring. I've tried so many things throughout the years, but after putting this hair oil in a post, I convinced myself that I should try it. I was hesitant because my hair does have a tendency to get a bit oily (oily hair and a dry scalp, can I pick a struggle?!), but I figured I'd take the plunge. I am so glad I did. I've had this hair oil for three weeks, and NO FLAKY SCALP!!! No itchiness! Here's what I will say, tho: I have to be careful about when I choose to use this. I'm usually the kind of person who if I'm going out for the day with friends, shower and wash my hair beforehand so my hair is clean and damp before styling. When I used the oil then, it did make my hair look greasy after styling. Now, what I do is wash my hair the night before, apply the oil, and let my hair air dry. The next morning, it's ready to style and doesn't look greasy! Not sure why this works better, but it just does! Get it from Amazon for $7.98. 17. A pack of overnight hydrogel masks because anything that works tirelessly to improve skin while you channel your inner Sleeping Beauty is an automatic "add to cart" moment. Pop it on after your nighttime skin routine, leave it on while you sleep (don't worry, it won't leave residue on your pillow), and remove it the next morning! It'll help hydrate, brighten, tighten, and potentially reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 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. 18. An Eos body lotion for anyone whose skin is reeling from the effects of a long winter in the form of dryness and irritation this spring (same). This moisturizer boasts up to 24 hours of hydration and a formula of seven nourishing oils and butter (including shea butter). PLUS! It's ideal for use on sensitive skin, smells lovely, AND costs less than $10. I am a winter hater to my core. I am sorry, but I do not like cold weather or the fact that the majority of it is spent living in darkness. My skin agrees with me on this one — every year, once late fall strikes, my skin gets dry, red, and irritated. Not only that, but with ~sick szn~ in the air, I am constantly washing my hands, sometimes to the point of bleeding. I was in need of a new bottle of body lotion, and I decided upon this one because of all the great reviews (and even better price point). It smells SO yummy. I got the vanilla cashmere, and I like that the scent lingers on my skin for several hours. It's sweet but not sickeningly so. It's nice and gentle on my skin and has done a great job preventing my skin from feeling dry. At the time of writing, it's now March, and by now, my skin has gone bonkers with dryness, but thanks to consistently using this stuff, it's remained nice and calm all winter is saying a lot because this winter has been more harsh than recent winters where I live. I truly love this stuff. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Absorbs 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 Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in many scents, larger sizes, and multipacks). 19. A lightweight snail essence (no snails are harmed in the making of this product, promise) that'll deliver seriously good hydration, and can help brighten your skin and reduce/prevent acne. Plus, it sinks in fast without any sticky residue, so your face feels refreshed and bouncy, instead of a glazed donut left out too long. Promising review:"My skin dries out severely during the winter, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me. Eww!! I resisted for weeks, refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month, I finally gave in, and boy, it was amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer, and it doesn't leave a disgusting, greasy feel like Vaseline. Take it from a once-nonbeliever: You have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." — Kyoko Ozaki Get it from Amazon for $18.43 (also available in a pack of two). 20. A hair wax stick formulated with beeswax, vitamin E, avocado oil, and more plant-based ingredients to provide a nongreasy, nonhardening solution to smoothing frizzy hairs and stray strands. This is especially great for fans of the slicked-back ponytail look. Promising review:"This wax stick effortlessly tames even the most stubborn flyaways and unruly strands. Its unique formula provides a firm hold without the stiffness or flaking associated with traditional hairsprays. It keeps my hair looking sleek and polished all day long. The compact, easy-to-use stick design makes application a breeze. Simply swipe it over flyaways or areas that need a touch-up. The wax glides on smoothly and blends seamlessly, leaving no visible residue." — cwin Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 21. A retinol body lotion that gives your skin the VIP treatment without the high-maintenance routine. It hydrates, smooths, and actually sinks in, so you're not stuck doing that awkward 'waiting for lotion to dry' dance. Your arms and legs deserve just as much love as your face!!!! Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion. After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft, moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational. It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTockAlice Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in other formulas). 22. A L'Oreal Paris rinse-out lamellar water treatment with a cult following that'll leave your locks looking shiny and silky in just eight seconds. Salon-level hair all day, every day, BB. It's like an espresso shot for your strands — fast and effective. Alexa, queue Sabrina Carpenter. ☕ Apply this directly to wet hair avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Promising reviews:"Yes, I actually saw this product reviewed on TikTok and had to try it. It is amazing stuff OMGOSH!!! I have already purchased my second bottle. I have a lot of hair, and it gets tangled easily. This stuff made it soft and manageable after the first use." — Jennifer Borchers "SO FREAKING SOFT. My hair is bleached and I'm usually very careful with it. This last time it left my hair feeling coarse like straw. Now this stuff right here is like a magic elixir. Highly recommend!! And I have thin/fine hair - did not weigh it down! LOVE THIS PRODUCT." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.97. 23. An exfoliating glove that'll help slough away dead skin so easily, you'll be confused as to how you made it this long without owning this genius product. It's kinda like your ex — once it's gone, you'll wonder why you didn't ditch it sooner. 🤭 Promising review:"Just received this item after reading about it multiple times on BuzzFeed. I've never made an effort to exfoliate beyond a sugar scrub, but my new waxer said it was essential. This product is great. It removed more dead skin than I thought possible and left my skin soft and looking refreshed. I do have sensitive skin, so I was careful to follow the instructions as written and had no skin discomfort or reaction." — Katherine E. Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a pack of two). 24. A pack of dark spot remover soap bars formulated with a combo of vitamins C and E, turmeric, retinol, hyaluronic acid, kojic acid, olive oil, and shea butter to help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of dark skin spots and acne marks, and even skin tone. Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it, but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS. I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99. 25. A biotin shampoo that could help hair look thicker by strengthening strands to prevent breakage. It's made with a blend of botanical extracts to help nourish and cleanse your scalp. If your shower had a VIP section, this bottle would definitely be on the list. Maple Holistics is a small personal care brand founded by lifelong pals Ben and Motti after they searched for solutions to Ben's hair loss and scalp irritation. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not a fan of the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four sizes and three scents). 26. A pack of exfoliating pads aimed at helping reduce the appearance of pores. I know, I know — it sounds too good to be true, but gimme a second to tell you how these work. One side of the pad (the ~exfoliation side~) cleans out pores and dead skin cells, while the other side of the pad (the ~embossed side~) smooths and tones for a silky finish. Don't believe me? See for yourself! Promising review:"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it's been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. The product is soothing, gentle on my skin (I have extremely sensitive skin), has no strong smell, the cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value, and I'll definitely be repurchasing these." — Ee El Get a pack of 70 from Amazon for $17.90 (available in four other styles). 27. A reusable oil-absorbing face roller that'll be a lifesaver for anyone who tends to get extra oily. Just glide it over your face, it's THAT easy. Say goodbye to blotting sheets and hello to a quick touch-up that keeps you looking fresh all 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 back-ordered, 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 $7.50. 28. Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne, pregnancy, injuries, or surgeries thanks to a powerful (but gentle) combo of vitamin A, vitamin E, sunflower, lavender, and chamomile oils. Your skin will thank you. 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. 29. A styling mousse that's especially great for folks with curly or textured hair. It's made with coconut and shea oils to help give locks some volume, definition, shine, and hold without unwanted stiffness. Say adios crunchy hair! Promising review:"First, let me start with the price. My favorite thing about this product is its price versus its quality. Most times, we find a low or responsible-priced let's say you get what you pay for, so usually you're left disappointed, BUT this stuff is wonderful. The smell, the de-tangling ability it has, plus I love how soft my hair is and my curls. No stiff hair and, on the days I want a little more hold or crispness, I just mix some of my firmer hold mousse in with this in my hands before I apply it. Wish I knew bout this product sooner. Thanks, TikTok." — Angelia Taggarrt Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 30. A Briotech spray reviewers say is a GREAT alternative to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray — both are formulated with hypochlorous acid. It'll help calm inflammation and redness. Just give your skin a little spritz and bask in the relief! BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings. Promising review: " What is this sorcery? Okay, so I'm not gonna lie. I thought all of the before and after pics were fake, but I was desperate, so I bought this stuff anyway. I had been dealing with an irritation bump for almost three months that I couldn't get rid of, so I did some research and tried a variety of home remedies, none of which worked. Then I stumbled upon the Briotech spray and saw the before and after pictures and wanted soooo badly to believe them. I also didn't want to get my hopes up, so I wrote them off as fake. I bought this stuff anyway (again, I was desperate), and I'm SO glad I did. I bought it on September 5, and my bump (which was huge and awful) was completely gone on September 25. I'm still in shock that it worked, but I'm so happy it did. Buy this! Stick with it, and I promise you won't regret it!" — iamericadelaney Get an 8-ounce bottle from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four sizes and packs of two and four). 31. Schick Silk touch-up tools perfect for painless, precise eyebrow shaping, cleaning up peach fuzz hairs on your face, and even clearing away dead skin. These little guys go a long way. Promising review:"I suppose it's my hearty German peasant ancestry, but I've always been a hairy girl. Plucking the more egregious of the thick black hairs is required at least two to three times a week. I'd been eying these razors for a while and finally took the plunge. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple of swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." — Tara D. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94. Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.

*Tons* Of Amazon Customers Have These 29 Products For Spring On Their Wish Lists, So You'll Probably Want 'Em Too
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. From products that'll make spring cleaning easier, get you in the springtime mood, or just make excellent little treats for yourself after getting through winter. Hello there! Did you know that Amazon has a neat little section called " Most Wished For" where you can see which products your fellow Amazon shoppers are currently adding to their wishlists? From cult-favorite beauty finds to innovative kitchen gadgets and stylish (and comfy) clothing items, here are some products you'll want to add to your wishlist (or cart) this spring! 1. A Good Molecules eye gel formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to up your eyes — and by that, we mean keep the skin around them hydrated while helping to cut down the appearance of puffiness and swelling. Evidence of the fact you keep going to sleep too late because you can't stop watching Real Housewives, begone! 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 Price: $5.99 2. A sleek outdoor tray table that's as functional as it is stylish. Not only does it give you the perfect spot for drinks and snacks, but the removable top reveals hidden storage inside, perfect for stashing cushions, blankets, or outdoor essentials. And, thanks to an all-weather design, you won't have to rush to bring it inside every time it rains! Promising review: "I LOVE these storage tables! I was able to get all of our pool supplies out of the closet and organized with them! They look like nice wood boxes, but they have durability and weather resistance. They were very easy to put together, and the sliding top is nice. We have had some rain. I was wondering if they would keep the water out, and to my surprise, they did their job well! This was a very good purchase. I highly recommend!" — Christy 3. A Baseboard Buddy boasting a 4-foot extendable pole because "I couldn't reach the cobwebs on the ceiling" or "I didn't want to bend down and clean the dust off the baseboards" are valid excuses, but aren't doing your home any favors in the cleanliness department. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "This was so easy to put together. I sprayed it with my favorite counter spray and did all the baseboards and door and window frames on my first floor in under 15 minutes!! That's three bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, living room, hallway, and mud room in under 15 minutes. It used to take me almost half a day and very sore knees and back. I even dusted the tops of some picture frames. Very easy to rinse off when I was done. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to cut time on cleaning and for people who can't/don't want to bend over, kneel down/get on a step stool or ladder." — Suziehomemaker 4. A lightweight, non-aerosol dry shampoo powder that refreshes your hair in seconds. Dae's Fairy Duster absorbs oil, boosts volume, and blends seamlessly — no chalky residue, just fresh, fluffy locks. You can pump it right onto your roots for a quick, mess-free refresh anytime! Promising review: "I have very oily hair. I've tried many shampoos — some expensive detox shampoos, even a shampoo bar made specifically for oily hair, and nothing helped. I hated how oily my hair looked, even when I showered and washed my hair daily. I first tried Living Proof dry shampoo and wasn't thrilled. It left a white film even after brushing out and didn't seem to absorb much oil. I got this, thinking a powder might work better, and it is GREAT. I've used it several times, and it's so easy to apply. ALSO, not that this is what it's used for, but just a PSA: When I spilled sauce on my brand-new slippers, it left a big oil stain, and I was about to throw them away. I then read online you can use dry powders to absorb stains, so I used this (after putting some water on the scrubbed stain), and it took the stains out almost completely! Will definitely be ordering again when I run out." — Brianna 5. A set of sheet pan dividers because springtime schedules are chaotic, and you need easy dinner solutions. While those single-serve Easy Mac cups are delicious, your family is tired of eating them every. darn. night. Thanks to these babies, you can cook different elements of the same meal in one pan in the oven while ensuring they heat up evenly. Fresh veggies and protein? For spring? Groundbreaking. Amazon Promising review: "Brilliant. 100,000% recommend them! They let me separate veggies by how long they take to cook so they are all ready at the same time and nothing is over- or undercooked. I love these cheat sheets. They are a great tool for my kitchen." — yule 6. A satin mock-neck dress ready to accompany you to your plethora of springtime weddings, baby/bridal showers, graduation parties, and any other formal gathering you've RSVP'd yes to. Just know that everyone who sees you at these events is gonna wanna know where they can get this for themselves!!! Promising review: "Received lots of compliments when I've worn this dress or showed people photos of the Waldorf afternoon tea experience I wore it at. It's so silky, the fabric felt good, and I loved how the dress looked on. If in doubt and you've got a booty, I'd err on sizing up." — Amazon Customer 7. A no-fuss self-tanning mousse that delivers a deep, bronzed glow minus the streaks or orange tones. This fast-developing formula gives you that just-back-from-vacation look without the sun damage. Because a great tan should be that easy! 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 8. A touchscreen digital calendar because your spring schedule is quickly filling up with social gatherings, family functions, and work commitments, get a bit overwhelming. This cal can sync with your existing digital calendars, display different schedules at a glance, and send reminders so you don't accidentally miss your niece's middle school graduation and dinner that'll follow. Amazon Promising review: "Our family absolutely thrives with this tool. The ease of use and the ability to connect it to our phones and other devices has been a real game changer! I am 100% a planner-and-pen kinda gal, however my paper planner doesn't connect to the family, lol Having this device has allowed everyone in the family to add their own plans, to-do lists, and wants/needs all in one place. Something extra that we love and that was totally unexpected is the ability to invite other family and friends outside of our home to the device. We highly recommend this to all of our friends and family!" — Jenna 9. A pet hair remover that is a MUST as we enter shedding season (aka SPRING). This tool is SO easy to use — you simply swipe it over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie! It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers! ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers. Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" — Shelby Cipolla Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! 10. And on the subject of pets — a stain and odor remover you'll want if your lil' floof is anything like mine and looks like they took a mud bath while playing outside, #springtimepetproblems. This spray is here to help clean up the mess they track into the house (and later on, the vom/poop combo that'll inevitably come out from all the grass/dirt/flowers they decided to snack on out there). Promising review:"I'm not going to lie; this stuff is significantly more expensive than most other available carpet sprays. You could probably buy four or five bottles of Febreze for the cost of this stuff, but the competition won't work nearly as well as Rocco & Roxie. This stuff is AMAZING." — Brian 11. A Sol de Janeiro jet set pack that comes with travel-sized versions of the brand's beloved Bom Dia Bright cream and body wash, fragrance spray, and a clear carrying case. This is great for anyone who refuses to venture off on vacations abroad without smelling like deliciousness from head to toe OR who wants to test out some miniature versions of the brand's fan-fave products before committing! Amazon Promising review: "Lately, I've been wanting to find a signature fragrance versus just smelling clean. I tried several perfumes, including high-end ones, and they just didn't seem to be a good fit with my body the smells just seemed to disappear. About a month ago, several people mentioned this brand on a group page, and I decided to give it a shot. I've been testing it for a couple of weeks now, and I am shook! It smells soooo good, and EVERY TIME I wear it (especially if I layer the products in this set), I get complimented. EVERY SINGLE TIME! And my husband, who never notices when I wear fragrances, immediately came up to me, hugged me, buried his nose into my neck, and told me I smelled amazing! That's a winner all day long in my book!" — LvrOfAllThingsArt 12. A bunch of silky tulips available in so many colors that'll instantly make any room or surface in your home feel more spring-like. In general, flowers are one of the easiest ways to brighten up a space, but the upkeep and having to replace them when they die can get tiring and expensive. With these, the only work required is picking your favorite colors, sticking them in your favorite vase, and letting them bring a smile to your face. Amazon Promising reviews:"They look real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and is shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" — Abbey S. 13. A daily face cream that actually doubles as a makeup primer because simplifying your skincare/makeup routine with a hydrating product packed with shea butter, aloe vera, beeswax, and soy proteins deserves a major "add to cart immediately" moment. Not to mention, less time on your beauty routine = increased opportunity for you to be on time to all of your springtime functions. Promising review: "So far, I am loving this lotion. I put it on every morning under my makeup, and it leaves my face perfectly moisturized all day long. I also noticed I use less foundation because it's so moisturizing. I don't believe there is any miracle moisturizer that will ever get rid of our crow's-feet, laugh lines, neck sagging, etc., but this moisturizer helps reduce the look of these problems as long as they're not deep surface. I'm 68 years old and never was someone who was a 'sun worshipper'; fortunately, I stopped smoking in 1980 after smoking for 15 years. Those two things do a lot of damage to your skin, so to all young women reading this who are doing these two things, take it from me: If you want to retain healthy, youthful skin, stop these too-harmful habits. Use sunscreen when you are in the sun, and use moisturizer now. Embryolisse seems to be a good place to start!" — Janet Cahill Price: $17 14. A travel backpack for those in need of a personal item bag or something to get them through an upcoming weekend roadtrip. It's stylish, sturdy, AND comes equipped with three packing cubes to help keep your belongings nice and organized in transit to your destination. Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy this. My daughter and sister both have this backpack, and they raved about it. I didn't think I would use it often enough, but let me tell ya, I've used it three times since I bought it in September, and I will be using it several more times in the next few months. It's so convenient compared to a duffel bag. It holds A LOT! I love it!! Great value, and it's durable! Perfect for a quick weekend getaway as well as a carry-on bag for a longer plane trip. If you travel, you need this bag!! You won't regret it!" — nicoleky26 15. A pair of classic round polarized sunglasses that look like Ray-Bans for a lottttt less $$$. Every spring/summer, you promise yourself you won't lose or break your sunnies, and every spring/summer, you inevitably lose or break them!!! Not judging, just saying you're better off losing or breaking a pair that costs less than $15 versus a pair that costs triple digits. Right?! Promising review:"Sojos have been my number one choice of sunnies for years now. Even if Ray-Bans were this price, I'd still choose Sojos. They are high-end quality without the price tag, lightweight yet durable, truly polarized, fashionable, comfortable; the list goes on! They are the best of the best. Don't hesitate, just buy them!" — 16. A two-piece outfit featuring shorts and a button-down vest because as the weather heats up, you'll want to spend less time picking out what to wear in the morning and more time soaking up that delicious sunshine. Throw on this pairing for Sunday brunch, rooftop bar drinks, or just lounging in the park with your crew. Promising review: "I wore this outfit on vacation recently and got compliments left and right! The fit is true to size, and the quality of the make and material is great! It's lined, so it's not see-through and has a lightweight feel! New summer staple for me!" — Jessica Basciano 17. An iRobot Roomba vacuum that takes cleaning off your to-do list. This robot vacuum tackles dust, dirt, and pet hair on its own, so you can focus on freshening up the rest of your space. Consider it the ultimate spring cleaning sidekick. Why sweep when you don't have to? Amazon This vacuum uses iAdapt 2.0 Navigation and vSLAM technology so the robot can map its surroundings around your home. It has a three-stage cleaning system that loosens, lifts, and suctions dirt, dust, and pet hair. It can clean under beds, sofas, and a variety of hard-to-reach areas. Its high-efficiency filter can catch about 99% of allergens, pollen, and dust. The vacuum can connect to Wi-Fi, and works well on both carpets and hard floors. Promising review:" For lazy people! I love my Roomba! I work from home and have two cats that leave hair everywhere! I can start it and let it run on its own while I work. When it's done, it parks itself and when I get off work I empty the trash bin. I can't say enough about how much I love this thing! Best purchase ever made by me!" — amanda 18. An Oxo salad spinner and peeler set to help you put your springtime farmers market hauls to good use. The peeler is great for those delicious cucumbers and carrots (pair with ranch dressing for the ultimate snack plate) while the spinner makes quick work of rinsing fresh greens and berries. (Am I sensing a spinach + berry salad with balsamic dressing for dinner?!) Promising review: "I absolutely love my glass salad spinner! It has completely transformed the way I prepare salads. The sturdy glass bowl is not only functional but also doubles as a serving dish, making it incredibly versatile. The spinning mechanism is smooth and efficient, removing excess water from greens in seconds. My salads stay fresher and crisper for much longer now. Plus, the glass material feels premium and is much more durable and eco-friendly compared to plastic options. Cleaning is a breeze — the parts come apart easily and are dishwasher-safe. It's also stylish enough to leave out on the counter, which is a bonus. If you're serious about fresh, delicious salads, this spinner is a must-have. It's worth every penny and has become an essential part of my kitchen routine. Highly recommend!" — A. Thornton 19. A pack of Touchland misting hand sanitizers that boast a lovely smell AND a hydrating formula. No offense to your trusty bottle of Purell, but 2025 is the year our hands stop smelling like the hallways of a medical building. Touchland is a small biz! I had heard a lot about Touchland hand sanitizers but never really felt the need to "break up" with my beloved Purell. After all, if something isn't broken, why fix it? Well, a few months ago, I was waiting in line at Ulta and was in an impulse buy sort of mood and purchased the lavender spray. Now that I have tried Touchland, I will never go back to alcohol-smelling hand sanitizer ever again. YOU GUYS! This stuff is LEGIT! It smells SO GOOD, and it really is so hydrating. Promising review: " Who knew hand sanitizer could be this cool? These sprays smell amazing (even the unscented one somehow feels luxe), they don't dry out my hands, and the design is sleek and compact. Perfect for keeping clean without feeling like I'm in a hospital. Totally worth it!" — Lauren Phelps Price: a pack of three for $30 (available in five scent combos; also available in packs of five) 20. A SnuggleBack office chair blanket because the weather getting warmer outside means your office air conditioner is cranking up inside. Rather than having to lug a chunky cardigan/sweater to work (and show up all sweaty), keep this bb on the back of your desk chair when you need to cozy up! Amazon Promising review: "To be honest, I was initially skeptical about liking this item when I first took it out of the box. The purple straps were a turn off and once installed, the SnuggleBack gave me the impression that my chair had turned into a short version of Darth Vader. However, I decided to give it a fair chance and worked a full day with the SnuggleBack attached. I can confidently say that I have never been warmer! The item is incredibly thick, with a soft fleece lining on the inside and faux fur on the outside. It feels so luxurious! Surprisingly, the lower wings that I place across my thighs make the most difference in warmth. I'm incredibly happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it, especially if you have a tall chair with a high back —otherwise, the wings may drag on the floor." — Mimi K. 21. A spill-proof, cupholder-friendly tumbler that keeps your drinks ice cold (or piping hot) for hours. BruMate's insulated stainless-steel design means no leaks, no sweat — just perfectly chilled water or coffee that stays the way you like it. Take it on the go, to your desk, or anywhere in between — because lukewarm sips are the worst! This bottle is BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer 's go-to: "It claims to keep ice for over 24 hours! The tapered base is also cupholder friendly, and the whole darn thing is dishwasher safe, too! Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!" Promising review: "This BruMate tumbler is fantastic! It's 100% leakproof, keeps drinks cold for hours, and the handle and straw make it super convenient to carry. The color looks great, and it fits perfectly in cup holders. Plus, it's made of stainless steel, so it's durable and easy to clean. Perfect for staying hydrated on the go!" — Jorge Isaac Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in 18 colors). 22. A tub of Maldon sea salt flakes you can think of as one of those purchases you don't really need, but once you get it, you'll never want to be without it. This flaky deliciousness is the perfect way to wow guests (and yourself). You can use it to rim margarita glasses, sprinkle atop juicy steaks, or achieve a perfect salty/sweet combo on a batch of chocolate chip cookies. The possibilities are endless. Promising review: "I think the salt has a great flavor and texture that really enhances dishes. I appreciate its quality, flake size, and value for the money." — Charlie Sims 23. A spray-on foot mask if your dry/cracked feet could use a refresh after spending all winter in fuzzy socks, galore. All you have to do is spray this on, rub off dead skin (or use an exfoliating mitt), and rinse with soap and warm water. Thanks to moisturizing ingredients like aloe and coconut, your feet will be ready to rock your springtime sandals in a cinch. 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. In fact, I've even started using it on my cuticles. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT 24. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction, so your spring cleaning endeavors will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Promising review:"I love my green machine. A big game changer for cleaning up messes on furniture. I don't even need to add soap most of the time. Just the pressure of the water and vacuum works for most messes. Worth the money. Highly recommend." — Amy 25. Crocs Brooklyn sandals — stylish, ultra-comfy platforms that give you height without the hurt. Thanks to lightweight cushioning, these sandals keep you comfy whether you're strolling, strutting, or standing all day. Cute, effortless, and actually wearable! Your uncomfy wedges in the back of your closet are shaking!!! Promising review: "I absolutely love them! These shoes are incredibly comfortable — I can wear them all day without any discomfort. They're true to size, making the fit perfect right out of the box. The stylish design makes them the perfect summer shoe, effortlessly pairing with everything from sundresses to shorts. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mix of comfort and style!" — Kathleen Carscadden 26. Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, a v fun card game to bring some exciting (and friendly) competition to your outdoor social gatherings. It's the perfect way to liven up at-home barbecues or jazz up your next park picnic. Amazon Recommended for ages 8+. As soon as there is a match between a card and a spoken word, race against each other to slap your hand on the central pile of cards. The last one to do so must take them all. Be quick to be the first to get rid of all your cards. But watch out! Your mind will play tricks on you. Promising review:"Bought this by accident because I thought these were baby flash cards. Saw these were actually a card game and tried it with my husband and fell in love with this game. It's fun and competitive. :D" — ChocorateChippu 27. A lounge wagon that'll be the MVP of all your outdoor adventures. It hauls all your gear with ease, then transforms into a comfy two-person bench when you're ready to sit back and relax. Thanks to its all-terrain wheels and study design, it's perfect for watching your kiddo's soccer games, going camping, or spending time at the beach. Promising review: "This is absolutely amazing! It's the ultimate 3-in-1 beach wagon, and I love that it converts into a comfortable two-person chair — perfect for relaxing at the beach or at sports events. The included cargo net is super handy for keeping everything secure, and it can handle all our gear with ease. I get tons of compliments on it everywhere I go! The only downside is that it's a bit bulky to store, so having an SUV or truck is definitely helpful for transporting it. But overall, this wagon is a total game changer." — Brogan 28. A 13-in-1 Ninja Swirl (yes, I said 13) so you can wave goodbye to the days of chasing after the ice cream truck (which is DANGEROUS!!!) or having to nervously await your fate at the frozen yogurt shop's cash register scale (not dangerous, just rly expensive). With this gadget, you can make ice cream, frozen yogurt, milkshakes, sorbet, gelato, and more!!! Not your fault you enjoy cookie dough bites and a LOT of them!!!! Promising review: "This machine is fantastic. Took a bit to figure out for me, but now it's simple and so much fun. Definitely get extra pints and have some ready! The first use we had an ice cream party with the great grandparents and everyone loved it, got to customize their ice creams, and now when my son sees me start up the machine, he calls up his grandparents and they come running. Definitely a really great tool to bring family and friends together. It can be loud but only for a few minutes, and you know what? It WORKS, unlike certain machines at the french fry place. 😂" — Brittany 29. A set of dazzling crystal suncatchers that'll fill your space with rainbows. Hang it by a window, and watch as the sunlight transforms into sparkling prisms of color.

Promising review: "These sun catchers are so beautiful!!! I have them all over my house in windows and they make such pretty 🌈 when the sun shines through them. They are very nice quality for the money. I'm happy with my purchase and would definitely order these again!" — Kristen Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
