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 · When your $35 dress looks just like the $100 one you saw online: 🤩 🤩 🤩 1. A Briotech spray reviewers have used to soothe inflammation of all kinds, from angry piercings and acne to stubborn rashes and rosacea. It uses hypochlorous acid, an ingredient found naturally in our white blood cells, similar to the much pricier Tower 28 spray. Note: This product has newer packaging that you might receive instead of the older bottle shown above! Promising review: "I've been using this hypochlorous acid spray morning, night, and after the gym, and I'm honestly amazed by the results! Since I started using it, I haven't had any breakouts, and my skin feels so much clearer and calmer. It's gentle but effective, and I love how refreshing it feels. It's also great for post-workout, keeping my skin clean and refreshed after sweating. This has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin's clarity and health!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes). 2. A padded cropped workout tank with a built-in bra so you can ditch painful underwires and hot layers in favor of something lighter, cooler, and oh so stylish. Reviewers compare it to a similar Lulu Align top but for a less painful price. Promising review:"I ordered this bra/tank top to compare to the Lululemon Align tank. It is amazing! For reference, I wear a size 8/10 in the Align tank, and I ordered a size medium in this one. The similarities are endless, with the only difference being the material. The material of this tank seems to be more sturdy than the Align tank, so I definitely love that the material will hold up better and likely longer than my Align tanks! If you're looking for a cheaper option, this one is it! I cannot wait to purchase it in more colors :)" — Z Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 3. A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess mascara if you're tired of getting excited about mascaras that never live up to their promises. This one is different — or at least according to the 265,000+ 5-star ratings — and can easily give the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara a run for its money. See it in action on TikTok. 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 For more info and review pics, check out BuzzFeed Editor Kayla Boyd's full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review! Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black and brown). 4. Or this cruelty-free E.l.f tubing mascara for wrapping each lash in a hug-like layer of elongating goodness, so you can enjoy next-level va-va-voom you thought only falsies — or Tarte — could deliver. Watch on TikTok as one user goes from skeptic to believer! 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). 5. A moisturizing Cremo body wash because the delicious blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber has reviewers comparing this to the smell of Baccarat Rouge 540, even hours after using it in the shower. 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 (available in two other scents). 6. A pair of oversized square sunglasses so you can spend less time squinting and more time looking certifiably fabulous with big Bottega lookalike energy. Promising review:"These are my staple sunglasses right now! I love the cool shape that makes them slightly different from aviators. They are very good quality and have some weight to them, making them feel very high quality. They're also polarized, which I was shocked about for the price. Get them!" — Jessie Lee Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 11 colors). 7. Or a three-pack of polarized sunglasses to ensure you're fully stocked with a hearty supply of sunnies that look expensive (lookin' at you, Ray-Ban) but won't break your heart when you inevitably crush a pair in the bottom of your purse. Amazon Promising review:"I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans, which look identical! Fit great, and with the price point, I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" — Jessica M Get a pack of three from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 15 sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs). 8. A Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion if you're still on the hunt for a moisturizer that's hydrating, lightweight, and soothing. Allow me to introduce you to this delicious-smelling formula at a price that's just *chef's kiss.* Bath and Body Works, who????? Promising review: "The Eos lotions are the best smelling lotions with the best moisturizing effect. They smell as good as Bath & Body Works and moisturize twice as well. And they are better value. It is really hard to pick my favorite from these lotions. Personally, I do not like the peach jasmine or the fresh scent because it smells like baby powder. But you can't go wrong with any of the other smells. I love you, guys." — Jennifer Shelton Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in other scents). 9. A pair of Bedsure satin pillowcases for a luxurious swap that can work wonders for your skin and hair by helping to fight frizz, reduce breakage, and maintain hydration, all while you sleep! And Blissy wants you to pay how much?! Get a closer look on TikTok. Promising review:"Wow! This really does work! My hair would massively shed every day to the point of thinning. First night of use, I had very little shedding! My face felt softer as well. Try them now! Such a buy compared to $89 Blissy brand, plus you get two! Highly recommended! No, my head doesn't slip as some said, and the case stays put! Do it!" — Sherry Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and 39 colors). 10. A set of magnetic building tiles, because have you seen the price of Magna-Tiles?!?! Kids of all ages (and a lot of adults, too) love this budget-friendly option just as much, and will have a blast becoming the architect of their own colorful creations. PicassoTiles is a small business developing creative toys that encourage open-ended play. Promising review:" Our child got Magna-Tiles for their birthday; we all love them. I went to get some more, but the price is wild. I got some knock-offs that weren't great, then found these. They're a wonderful and, more importantly, affordable alternative! The colors are great, you get more or less the same quality as the more expensive ones. They fit almost perfectly with Magnatiles, but you really need to be on the lookout to notice! Super happy with this purchase." — B4510 Get a 60-piece set from Amazon for $25.99. 11. Some budget-friendly period underwear that'll make handling Aunt Flo as easy on your underwear. This affordable pair is oodles less than popular brands like Thinx with the same powerhouse absorbency (the equivalent of two tampons!), so you can go about your day (or night) without fretting about unexpected leakages. Then just toss them in the wash between cycles! Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Some reviewers recommend sizing up! For more info, check out BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord's full Bambody period underwear review. Promising review:"I was waiting for my period to review this, and I am glad I did! I have a fairly heavy flow. I can't use tampons, and I have to change super pads every couple of hours. I chose to rely only on these underwear for the entire week of my period, and I am so happy. They're so soft and fit me well. They're also more lightweight than the Thinx ones. But the most important thing: NO LEAKS! I changed them out every 8-10 hours to be safe, but I slept through the night and didn't wake up to ruined sheets, which is a huge win in my book." — Emily Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, sold individually or as multipacks in various colors). 12. An E.l.f. Cosmetics melting lip balm in the shade "Ecstatic" to rival Clinique's viral " Black Honey" as a go-to lippie. It's one of those signature products that'll instantly make you feel a bit more put-together with a gorgeous wash of color and a soft, hydrating feel. Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have multiple that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn't get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." — Hamps5 Get it from Amazon for $7+ (also available in four other shades). 13. An easy-to-use collagen-coating hair mask you can apply at home so it looks like your hair hasn't undergone years of abuse at the hands of bleach and blow-dryers. Reviewers compare it to Olaplex but for, literally, 1/3 the price. See it in action on TikTok. Promising review:"I recently discovered this protein treatment and I'm blown away. I spend hundreds on hair products, and this protein treatment blows everything away, even Olaplex. Yes, I said it. After using it, I don't even need conditioner. I'm definitely buying more. The only complaint, and it really isn't even a complaint, is if you have a lot of hair like I do, it takes a lot, but at that price, I can stock up." — Theresa Harper Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for." Get it from Amazon for $7.60. 14. A sleeveless bodycon maxi dress if the Kim K version is out of budget, but you still want all that comfy softness wrapped up in a snatched silhouette that's incredibly versatile. Promising review:"I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed, and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don't think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It's one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" — Makayla Curtis Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and eight colors). 15. A cruelty-free under-eye brightener for effortlessly concealing dark circles since you haven't gotten enough sleep in *checks watch* about a decade. The color-adapting formula is creamy and lightweight, just like the pricy Becca brightener, so you don't have to worry about unwanted creasing and cakiness, either. Promising review: " I have used the Becca brightener for years and years. Decided to give this a try, and it is an excellent [alternative.] It is a softer product than the Becca, but still has the same brightening power. You won't be sorry if you try this, and the price point is perfect!" — Kelly Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 16. A pack of duster sponges because it's just like the forever sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster with curved ridges that actually pick up dirt, dust, and hair on the first swipe instead of just moving it around. When you're done, give it a rinse, let it dry, and it'll be ready for another round. Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this item. It is an alternative to the Scrub Daddy dusters, but at a lower price point. It works great to pick up any dust on every surface I've tried, and it rinses off under water. I highly recommend!" — Vivian Get a four-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color combinations and packs of two and eight). 17. A moisture-wicking sleeveless workout dress that's equipped with a built-in bra, adjustable straps, and pocketed shorts for a versatile style that's as fashionable and functional as similar styles from $$$ brands like Outdoor Voices and Abercrombie & Fitch. Promising review:"This dress is AMAZING. I love the removable bra pads. This is a dress you could work out in. The material is very breathable, and I LOVE how deep the pockets are. They easily fit my iPhone 11. I hardly ever order clothes online because I'm so picky with how clothes fit. This is a winner. I'm going to buy more colors!! Just buy it!" — Manda Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 11 colors/patterns). 18. A multitasking nail concealer to buff up your nails with a sheer pink tint that reviewers compare to the look of Dior Nail Glow — with a few upgrades. This low-maintenance, low-cost mani also protects nails against chipping, splitting, and peeling thanks to its blend of biotin and keratin. Sing it with me now! 🎵 This is what dreeaamms are made of. 🎵 Promising reviews: " My Dior Nail Glow ran out, and I saw this brand had a [lookalike] for that. I liked this color even more... Excellent everyday, clean-looking polish. Seems stronger than Essie." — reviewer22 "Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I'm guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I'm nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty." — Andi Get it from Amazon for $5.51. 19. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks so you can wake up every morning to a luscious pout, something you'll extra appreciate when chapped lips come for us all. If Laneige has infiltrated your feed, know these cuties are a budget-friendly swap. Promising review: " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." — Riya Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six combos). 20. A simple tennis bracelet if the tennis-core TikTok trend has you coveting this timeless style, but splurging for a Swarovski is not in the cards. Your day will come. Until then, snag this under-$20 lookalike. Promising review: " Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski lookalike for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes, two material types, and three finishes). 21. Slip-on pointed-toe knit flats for a style you can wear with jeans, dresses, and everything in between. The minimalist silhouette is shockingly supportive, travel-friendly, and can be tossed in the wash (no drying!) Just like Rothy's, but at a literal fraction of the price. Promising review:" They look and feel exactly like my authentic Rothys. They're true to size. Lightweight and so comfortable. Must buy if you are on your feet all day running around. You won't be disappointed." — Viankab Get them from Amazon for $32.99 (available in women's sizes 6–10 and in 14 styles). 22. A "Soft" perfume rollerball because it's tiny enough to keep stashed in your purse in case you're anything like me and forget that perfume exists until you're out the door. It also smells downright divine — reviewers compare it to the far pricier Pink Sugar — and lasts allll day. Promising review: "I saw this product being talked about a lot on TikTok, so I decided to buy it. It was described as a very sweet, sugary scent which is exactly my type of fragrance. This oil smells EXACTLY like Pink Sugar. If you already own Pink Sugar, don't waste your money, but for perfume collectors, I definitely would recommend it." — Lenwood Williams 23. A jumbo pack of magic cleaning pads that reviewers have likened to Magic Erasers with an extra thick design that's even more durable. Time to make all those wall scruffs and grimy door stains ~disappear~. Promising review:"I was a skeptic…I clean houses for a living. I use Magic Erasers on a daily and I have to say that by far these are the best bang for your buck. The thickness is great; it allows you to cut in half and get two for the price of one. Very durable. I love them! The only problem I have is that I waited so long to give them a try." — Trudylusk83 Psst — check out BuzzFeed's STK cleaning pads review for more deets (and incredible before and after photos). Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 24. An adjustable mini belted pack to wear around your waist or shoulder for unobtrusive yet convenient access to all your essentials. The jig is up! Fanny packs are cool again (not to mention so functional), and reviewers love this one as a cheaper alternative to the Lululemon bag you've probably seen everywhere. Promising review: "TikTok told me this was an alternative for Lululemon, and it's true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can't beat it." — Jolie Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 43 colors). 25. A universal L'Oréal Paris BB Cream so you can banish unwanted redness no matter your skin tone with results that rival products charging double...* cough * Dr Jart+ * cough, cough *. Plus, it leaves skin feeling super soft and smooth, so whether you wear it alone or plan to layer it up, your skin is prepped to look its best. Promising review: "Amazing!!! Bought this after being so disappointed with the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting cream. I should have just bought this in the first place. It's incredible. A small amount provides smooth, natural, even coverage. Blends to match your skintone and makes any redness instantly disappear. Lightweight and inexpensive. I use this after my moisturizer with sunscreen and finish with a touch of powder. Note — this is not a moisturizer or a sunscreen. Apply those first, and it will be flawless." — mmgmom Get it from Amazon for $9.77 (available in five other styles). 26. A paraben-free self-tanner if you still want that on-demand, sun-kissed glow even when the sun is nowhere to be found. You can expect results in just one hour! Just like the pricier St. Tropez Self Tan Express mouse, this formula doesn't have that *distinct* smell you've likely experienced with other sunless tanners. 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 nine shades). 27. A pack of LivaClean Superstar pimple patches for the same great aesthetic as the pricy Starface ones at a price that won't make you wince every time pimples make an appearance. LivaClean pimple patch ingredients include hydrocolloid, salicylic acid, and tea tree oil. Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones since they just draw my eyes to something that's SUPPOSED to be invisible. So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they're SO expensive and don't work at all. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time. So many people have complimented me, saying, 'Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it's adorable.' These also work as [an alternative to] the TikTok Shop ones that are really popular right now and are cheaper! 10/10 from me :)" — evalyn evoke Get a pack of 240 patches from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven designs/shapes). 28. A set of chic cylindrical wineglasses that'll save the day when you and your Cupcake wine want to feel bougie without bankrupting yourself at the nearest Crate & Barrel. Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories. Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.40+ (available in three styles).

34 Affordable Beauty Products With Results That Are Beyond Magical
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. "This definitely gave me a boost in confidence." —A happy reviewer 1. A long-lasting Essence mascara formulated to give you bold and intense lashes even *you* will think are falsies. Salon quality at a fraction of the cost? Yes, please! Promising review: "I am 68 years old and have been using makeup for 52 of those years. I have tried many mascaras over the years, from inexpensive to very expensive. I cannot say that I have ever been really happy with the results. I had reached the point where I thought that it does not matter the cost; they are pretty much all the same. This changed my mind. I put on two coats and it made my lashes look so thick. If I did not know better, I would think that I had on false eyelashes. I used baby shampoo, as I always do, and I always lather with the baby shampoo twice to remove the mascara, and it came off easily. I will look no more for a new mascara. I cannot imagine a mascara better than this." — Piaget Check out BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd 's Essence Lash Princess mascara review. Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black and brown). 2. An oil-based Byoma toner whose hydrating and milky formula is designed with sensitive skin in mind. It contains ceramides and skin-identical lipids (lipids are naturally found in the skin and work as emollients) to help hydrate skin and repair the skin's barrier. If you've got redness and dry skin, this soothing toner should be in your skincare routine. Amazon Promising reviews: "This is the most incredible product with instant effect & I've literally used it DAILY since it arrived. It makes my skin rich, juicy & hydrated in a way that it's never been before - I don't know what the sorcery is but it's amazing." — Christine Q. "I got this as a new step in my skincare routine. This milky toner is perfect for hydrating the skin while leaving it with a slight shine that makes your skin look bright and clean! It's not heavy and absorbs quickly! It smells nice, too, which is a plus because a lot of products these days stink. If you are looking for a new milky toner, this is the one to try!!" — Amanda smart Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 3. An extreme hold tinted eyebrow gel because it'll not only help you create the perfect brow shape, but also help you keep that shape for up to 16 hours. This flake-resistant brow mascara offers a natural look you'll be glad you can get every single day. Promising reviews: " If you like feathery soap brows, this product is for you! Less is more! Cute packaging and the price blows my mind. Much better than Patrick Ta compact of soap brow product and about $30 cheaper!" — Shelli ;) "This is a great product if you want that hold! It really does keep the brows exactly as you want them. I used to use the one from Anastasia, but it's nothing special and far too expensive. This is my new go-to!" — Mel Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in five shades). 4. A revitalizing hair protein treatment for conditioning and repairing dry, damaged, and over-processed hair in just 5–20 minutes. This collagen-rich formula is designed to work on all hair types. Some reviewers even swear it's just as good as K18. Promising review:"I've been using this product consistently for about four years. I have long, fine hair that is too wavy to be straight but not wavy enough to be curly. It tends to get very straw-like and frizzy, which is not a great combination unless you are a scarecrow. This product is the ONLY thing that has worked to make my hair soft and manageable." — Kathryn Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more. Get it from Amazon for $7.60. 5. A vegan under-eye brightening concealer to help balance out bluish tones and dark circles. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and hydrate skin. You'll look like you've had days of if the truth is you haven't slept in days. This medium-coverage concealer can be applied with your fingers or a brush. Promising review:"I believe I was born with dark circles under my eyes, and I have spent the last 50+ years looking for something that will cover my dark circles. I've spent a lot more money on products that do a lot less. And I was very hesitant to buy something so inexpensive as I thought it would not work. I was surprised to find my circles a lot lighter, and my eyes are looking much more alert and younger. I'm very pleased with this product!" — Lafinrsm Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four tones). 6. A moisturizing and nonsticky Etude lip tint whose water-based formula absorbs quickly, leaving behind a perfect and long-lasting color. Pucker up! Promising review: "I'm obsessed with the cherry color. It applies nicely, has a subtle flavor/scent, and the color is great. I don't wear makeup at work, but this adds nice color to my lips and cheeks without being too much. I love it so much I bought one for my work bag and one for home. Cheers to no longer looking like a sickly Victorian child! 10/10 must buy." — Toddler_medic Get it from Amazon for $5.69+ (available in six shades). 7. An alcohol-free roll-on Al Rehab perfume scented with citrus, vanilla, and vetiver. If you're not ready to be swimming in compliments on how luxuriously luscious you smell, this might not be the perfume for you (but I think it is). Reviewers also noted that the scent lasts all day long! Promising reviews:"This smells amazing. Like vanilla and lemon pound cake. Smells like spring and happiness and the color yellow." — LG "This scent is heavenly if you like mild, sweet scents. It is very similar to Bath and Body Works' Champagne Toast body spray but with a hint of lemon or orange added. It's lasted me over four months of daily wear, and one application is still detectable after eight hours of work." — Namea Get it from Amazon for $6.20. 8. A non-greasy Samnyte hair wax stick so you can slick back any flyaways or style your edges. And its vegan and cruelty-free formula contains castor oil, which hydrates and smooths. Plus, you won't have to worry about the mess that is gel... 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. 9. A skin-firming neck and chest Gold Bond cream designed to help improve the texture, elasticity, and appearance of your skin. Plus, it's got hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated. If you've never thought to add your neck and chest to your skincare routine, now might be the time to start. Promising review:"I've been using this for five days, and I can't believe how much it's helped with the saggy skin under my chin. I'm 37, and I've been using various products, but nothing was making a difference, and my skin continued to get loose in that area. I came across this, looked at the reviews, and decided to try it, though I honestly wasn't sure it would work for me, considering other things I've tried that haven't helped. I can't even express how much better I feel now. I have no idea how this cream works and actually tightens up the skin, but I'm so grateful. I'm no longer self-conscious about it, and I actually like looking in the mirror now and not seeing the extra skin hanging from the bottom of my chin." — 📚#WHYCHOOSE Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 10. A yerba mate eye gel because it'll help rejuvenate tired, puffy eyes. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine, this vegan and fragrance-free gel may help reduce swelling and the appearance of fine lines. Good Molecules is a small business using ingredients that are not only backed by science but are also safe for you and the planet. Promising review:"I've been using this for a couple of months now, and it works great for the dark circles under my eyes. I'm 49 with fair skin. I will definitely purchase it again. It works so well!! Having such pale skin really makes the under-eye color noticeable. This has been a game-changer for me. Helps to keep the delicate skin hydrated." — Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 11. Or a Beauty of Joseon eye serum that is made with ginseng, retinol, and niacinamide to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, brighten and revitalize skin, and improve skin elasticity. Get ready for hydration that lasts and dark under-eyes that don't. Promising review:" This stuff is magical, and the bottle size is perfect because you don't need a lot of cream under your eyes. This size will literally last months. I've only used this for three days, but I've already noticed a difference. My under eyes feel super soft and hydrated, and the best part is the cream is lightweight and rubs in nicely, so it doesn't feel like you have heavy goop under your eyes" — Phil Get it from Amazon for $13.50. 12. A pack of teeth-whitening pens so you can get beautifully white teeth for far less money than you might've thought. This pen's soft-bristle brush is perfect for anyone with sensitive teeth. It makes application as easy as saying CHEESE! Promising review:"OK, so I'm never buying those white strips again! These are way cheaper, they're easier to use, they're convenient to take anywhere, and I actually see results a lot faster! They will be my go-to for teeth whitening from now on!" — Stacy D.

Plus, it'll be weirdly satisfying to peel this off and see all the gunk that was hiding in your pores. 14. A winged eyeliner stamp if you don't wanna have to trial and error your way to the perfect cat-eye. This smudge-proof and waterproof formula will keep you looking fierce all day long. Promising reviews:" This is my favorite go-to eyeliner! Wings have always been part of my signature style, but over the years, I've developed tremors, and it became harder to draw them on. This was my savior! The stamps are so easy to use, and you know your wings are even without checking, which is a major confidence booster! This liner stays in place through everything, too! I'm talking water, sweat, crying, even food mishaps. I'll never use another brand again!" — Jei Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes). 15. Or a waterproof Nyx liquid eyeliner with a flexible and easy-to-use precision tip for perfect wings every single time. Plus, it's cruelty-free and vegan! Promising review:"Glides on easily and dries quickly. My favorite thing about it is that it STAYS ON all day without melting down my face like others I have purchased do. It stays better than my Estee Lauder ones! Will definitely be buying again and using regularly." — Dawn Morris Get it from Amazon for $8.08+ (available in 10 colors). 16. An organic and antioxidant-rich cleansing balm because it can help brighten, hydrate, and even skin as it rids your face of dirt and makeup. Plus, it's only got 10 ingredients in it, so if you're one for a simple solution, this might just be made for you. Juno & Co. is a small business whose skincare is made with minimal ingredients that offer maximal results. Promising reviews:"Takes off all makeup, even mascara, just as well as the more expensive brand Elemis. A little goes a long way!

A skin-repairing body oil chock-full of natural oils to help reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Its skin-renewal formula should help fade acne scars, surgery scars, and so much more! Just make sure to use sunscreen with this since it can make you a bit more sensitive to the sun. Promising review: "Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it twice a day — in the morning and before I go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends, who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see the changes. I am 71 years old. No one paid me to write this." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in two sizes). 18. A rainbow eyeshadow palette that will make just about any lewk possible! This highly pigmented palette contains cool and warm tones as well as mattes and glitters, so go absolutely awf. Promising review:"I really love this! The colors (that I've tried so far) go on wonderfully and blend easily. I had recently bought a palette by Morphe; I had never tried them before, but they looked nice. It was HORRIBLE! The colors were chalky, didn't blend, and barely showed up. This is so much better and for a third of the price!" — adorkable Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a neutral palette). 19. A L'Oreal natural glow enhancer infused with glycerin and shea butter for an illuminating tint and a sun-kissed glow that lasts all day long. Go get your shine on!

I'm a low-maintenance girly, so this is perfect for me." — Marie "This is the product to buy instead of the more expensive brand (the well-known one with the tipsy animal name lol). The color is beautiful. It's just as good as the $$$ brand." — ANDREA BALKIEWICZ Get it from Amazon for $13.48+ (available in five shades). 20. A set of multipurpose dermaplaning razors if you're looking to exfoliate your skin while getting rid of peach fuzz. These are also perfect for shaping your brows when you don't have the time to individually pluck each hair. 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 a two to three times 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 $5.59. 21. A delightfully scented foaming mousse formulated with coconut and shea oils to hydrate hair, define curls, and combat frizz. It's also a great mousse to use atop natural protective styles like knotless braids. Some reviewers even use this on curly/wavy wigs! Promising review: "This has been an absolute game-changer for my daughter's hair! It's lightweight, smells amazing, and works wonders for defining her curls. The mousse leaves her hair soft, bouncy, and frizz-free without any sticky or crunchy residue. She loves how it enhances her natural curl pattern while keeping everything smooth and manageable. It's perfect for wrapping styles or refreshing her curls — it truly does it all. The added coconut oil and shea butter make her hair feel nourished and hydrated, which is such a bonus!" — Kelly Shannon Newell Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 22. An oil-absorbing face roller that uses absorbent volcanic stone to soak up any excess oil. Forget those disposable oil-blotting sheets and get instant matte skin ASAP! Amazon, Promising review:"I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good, but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them), and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works, and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." — Jennifer Helseth Get it from Amazon for $7.82. 23. An eight-second L'Oréal lamellar rinse-out treatment for shinier, healthier, and silkier hair in, well, eight seconds. No need to wait 10 long minutes to rinse your hair out. This treatment targets damaged areas to help give you smooth and shiny hair that's easier to style. Use this two to three times per week after shampooing your hair, and remember not to use it on your scalp. This treatment is just for the length of your hair. Promising review:"I don't usually do reviews on products, but for this one, I absolutely have to. I have 3c-type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn't take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would've thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" — Theressa Hailey Get it from Amazon for $9.87. 24. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo — get help brightening your hair without having to spend $$$ on a trip to the salon. It tones down pesky, brassy hues so your hair's color is more even. Just don't use it for more than three minutes (once a week), because then your hair will turn lavender (unless you're into that, which some reviewers are!!!). "It tones my blonde very well and IMO is a bit better than Olaplex's purple shampoo. I've tried others and always go back to this." — Katie For more info, check out our Fanola No Yellow deep dive. Get it from Amazon for $12.25+ (available in two sizes). 25. A lightweight E.l.f. putty primer infused with squalane to help minimize pores and moisturize your skin. This vegan formula will grip your makeup so it doesn't slip and slide all day long. Promising review:"OK, so first, nothing will make you 'pore-less' per se, but this stuff is amazing. It will even out fine lines and help with super porous areas; my T-zone is the worst for pores, and this definitely gave me a boost in confidence. I would highly recommend it. Especially to those not too familiar with makeup, this is a game-changer. Honestly, it works better than my $30 primer from Urban Decay, and it lasts all day. I am oily, so I usually blot some powder on later in the day, but if you have dry skin, this could be the ultimate game-changer!" — Olivia Get it from Amazon for $10. 26. And a tinted E.l.f lip balm because it's got vitamin E so your lips will feel hydrated and nourished and look oh-so kissable 💋 Plus, it's a pretty great (and cheaper) alternative to the $25 Black Honey lip balm from Clinique. Promising reviews:"This is a perfect [alternative to] Clinique's Black Honey. The color wears well and also moisturizes at the same time. It's the perfect alternative for those who love the color but not the price of the high-end product." — TwoBearsMama "My absolute favorite lip product of all time! It is the perfect shade and tint for me and leaves my lips feeling soft and moisturized. I've bought this four times already and will keep buying it!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6+ (available in five colors). 27. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that can remove years worth of calluses quickly and easily. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let it do its magic, and rinse! 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). 28. A lightweight liquid blush you can build for impressive coloring. Made with vitamin E and green tea, this smudge-proof blush can also nourish your skin. Oh, and you can use it on your lips, too! Promising review:"I absolutely adore how this blush looks on my skin! The texture is stunning, giving my cheeks a natural, radiant glow. Plus, the doe foot applicator makes application a breeze, effortlessly blending onto my cheeks for a flawless finish. It's become a staple in my makeup routine!" — LMC Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors). 29. A bottle of Olay body wash formulated to offer you 24 hours of hydration so you can bid adieu to dry, cracked skin! And since it contains shea butter, collagen peptide, niacinamide, and vitamin E, it'll also smooth and brighten your skin. Your old body wash could never. Promising reviews:"This is my new favorite body wash. I have been an Olay woman my whole adult life, and at 60, I feel it has really made a drastic difference in my aging process." — Dana 64 "I live in New England where it's known for cold, dry winters. My skin was suffering due to the dryness. I had dry bumps on my legs and thighs and the back of my arms. It felt like sandpaper! I used this product once, and let me tell you, I no longer have dry skin bumps, and I'm almost 50 years old! You will love it. And it has a nice scent as well. It's worth every penny!!" — C. Swasey Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three formulas). 30. Joesoef's pharmaceutical-grade anti-acne sulfur soap that'll help cleanse skin of dirt and oil buildup, potentially soothe psoriasis, and reduce breakouts. If you tend to have flare-ups, this soap might just be what your skincare arsenal has been missing. Amazon Joesoef Skin Care is a small business. Promising review:"I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, it is not overwhelming, and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." — Sandy G Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in multipacks). 31. A tinted L'Oréal anti-redness cream you can use as a base for your makeup because nothing is worse than applying a fresh beat and seeing red skin peek through. This fast-acting moisturizer is also quite hydrating. No need to spend over twice as much on its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream. Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas: cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that, indeed, covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F. Get it from Amazon for $9.98. 32. A shower-friendly detangling brush — its flexible bristles will gently loosen knots, potentially preventing breakage or other damage. This Wet Brush can handle all hair types and even has a hook handle so you can hang it in your shower when you're done. Promising review:"My girls have very curly hair, and we use this brush during wash time to get the tangles out and then with a moisturizer to set the curl. Love this brush. Less pain for the tender-headed." — Andrea Ball Get it from Amazon for $6.19. 33. An adjustable and reversible satin sleeping bonnet that'll help you protect your curls and coils while you sleep. Not only is it super luxe, but it will actually stay on throughout the night. Nothing worse than waking up and finding your bonnet has slipped away to go get itself coffee. Promising review: "Best bonnet ever! Cute, comfy, practical, and good quality. I had this very same one six years ago. When it wore down, I replaced it with the same one. My other bonnets had straps that dangled awkwardly on my forehead. This one has a seamless strap and it adjusts well. And not once has it fallen off my head in the middle of the night. Get it!" — Shalimar Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 15 styles). 34. Differin acne treatment gel, a water-based and unscented topical retinoid designed to reach deep under your skin to help clear breakouts and prevent new ones from forming. It may also help reduce the risk of acne scarring and hyperpigmentation. Many reviewers say it improved their skin's texture and tone with consistent use. Since retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, it's important to remember to apply sunscreen during the day. It's also a good idea to use this gel at night (rather than in the morning) to potentially prevent further discomfort. Read more about adapalene, acne, and non-prescription acne treatments at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"I don't have too much of an issue with acne. However, I do have hormonal breakouts once a month, with a few pimples that break through every now and then. I really purchased it because it is a retinoid that you don't have to go to the doctor for, and I wanted it to help with some sun damage on my face and fine lines. I've only been using this for a month, but I can honestly say that within the first week, I could see a change in my skin. I have absolutely not had one breakout of any kind, and my skin is so smooth. I sincerely believe that the discoloration and hyperpigmentation on my skin is beginning to fade." — Catattack Read our Differin gel review to learn more!

29 Products That Are So Good, You'll Climb Out On Your Rickety Fire Escape Just To Shout About Them To Strangers
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · This is basically just a list of top-tier products. Get ready to add all of these to your cart. 1. An under-eye brightener that's gone super viral super quick and FOR GOOD REASON! This awesome stuff contains hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish and brighten the area under your eyes. Your new holy grail for concealing dark circles hath arrived! The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 2. A stainless-steel water bottle you can bet will put any other water bottle on the market to shame. You may be asking why, and the first reason is that it comes with a double-spout built-in straw (a smaller opening for sipping and a large one for swigging). Unlike other popular bottles, this one allows you to cover the straw when you're not drinking from it, thanks to the leak-proof push button opening! Did I mention it'll keep your drinks cold for 24 hours and features a carry loop for easy transport? Check out the Owala FreeSip water bottle on TikTok! Promising review:"This is the second one I have purchased. I love this water bottle for the ease of drinking. The built-in sipping feature is a game changer, and I appreciate being able to close the top and keep the mouthpiece clean, unlike bottles with exposed straws. Don't ever change the design!" — Jill Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in various colors). 3. A 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 re-apply throughout the day. Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed Check out the Lash Princess mascara on TikTok! Promising review: "Mascaras always make the same my short, straight lashes have never looked thicker or longer! And I don't have to bother with false lashes. Seriously, this mascara is a game changer." — CoCust Get it from Amazon for $4.99. BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review — check it out! 4. 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. 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 set of double-sided shower rings for hanging your liner on one end and your curtain on the other. Now if you need to change either of these, you don't have to disassemble the whole thing. Promising review:"This is one of those items you didn't know you needed, and once you get it, you can't help but wonder how you ever managed before. I absolutely hate taking the shower curtains off because of the whole open and close for several shower curtains. I know you're like, 'It's just shower curtain hooks.' And it is. But when you have to change out the creepy shower liner that likes to attack you, and you dread doing so, this just adds seconds to your life. No more unsnapping. Simply take out the liner, place the liner on the appropriate hook, and presto." — Nardsbaby Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 13 colors). 7. A jar of The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product you can use to restore so many things (both indoors and outdoors) back to practically new condition. It's so good, you may just be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. It shouldn't be used on plastic or acrylic surfaces, highly polished stainless steel, or hot/warm surfaces. You can use it on cooktops and grills, but just be sure to do so once they've cooled down! Plus, this is vegan! Promising review:"Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life-changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We've since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We'll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." — Nancy F. Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 8. A callus-removal gel so you can experience the baby-soft feet you not only want but truly deserve. Soak your feet for two to three minutes in hot water, dry them, and apply a generous layer of the gel to your calloused feet. Then let it sit for three minutes, wipe it off, use a foot scrubber of your choice, and bam — dead skin be gone. If you're looking for recs for a good foot file, we adore this one that you can get from Amazon for $9.99! 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). 9. Teeth-whitening pens for brightening up those pearly whites with a quick swipe. No yucky gel, bright lights, or dentist trips required! Promising review:"This pen is amazing! I saw results after the first application. I am a coffee drinker, and this pen is a game changer! Will definitely be buying again!" — K.S. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95. 10. A Snuggle Puppy that's basically a miracle solution to helping ease your pup's loneliness and separation anxiety. It's especially perfect for those crate-training their furry bbs. Back in 2020, my family made a wonderful decision to get an adorable Havanese puppy named Bailey (pictured left as a puppy in 2020, pictured right in December 2023). He slept like an absolute angel the first night we brought him home, so when he kept us up for six. whole. hours the night after and wouldn't stop crying the next day, we knew we needed to try something fast. A family friend recommended the Snuggle Puppy. Within a half hour of putting the little heart ticker into the stuffed toy and putting it in Bailey's crate, he was quiet and fast asleep while cuddling up to his new toy. Almost five years later, the Snuggle Puppy is still Bailey's favorite toy — we just don't keep the heart ticker in there anymore. He has an entire crate of toys he BARELY touches solely because he loves the Snuggle Puppy so much. It is on the pricey side for a dog toy, and he's currently on his fourth Snuggle Puppy because he's chewed off the ears and noses on the other ones, but seeing how attached he is to the puppy and how happy it makes him, it's 100% worth it. Truly cannot recommend this enough. Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in five colors). 11. A pack of warming foot masks formulated with Epsom salt, shea butter, and lavender and peppermint essential oils to help bring some potential relief (and warmth) to achy feet. My colleague Emma Lord loves these! Here's her review: I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Get it from Amazon for $14.67. 12. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to all. Just rinse it the next day, and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too. Check out Wet & Forget on TikTok! Promising review:"I have back problems and really struggle to keep my tubs clean! This is a game changer, and I'm going to tell EVERYONE to buy it! Amazing product I will be buying again!" — Shannon Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents). 13. An internet-famed Sol de Janeiro lotion 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 reviews: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Janeiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie "Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as 'pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla' does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet, and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed by this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." — Michelle Brown Get a 2.5-ounce jar from Amazon for $24 (also available in an 8-ounce size for $48). And if (when) you do fall in love with the scent, they make tons of other products! 14. And a hair and body fragrance mist from the same brand that'll have you wondering if it's considered proper etiquette to sniff yourself in public. Not to see if you smell bad, but because you'll smell so yummy, you won't be able to resist taking in your delicious aroma. When I tell you this has been on my wish list for like a year, I'm not kidding. For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to spend $24 on a fragrance mist, but I was SO enticed. Finally, after putting it in an article at the beginning of the year and seeing how many BuzzFeed readers had purchased it, I decided it was time to just do it. This stuff really smells so I want to bathe in it and might cry when it runs out because the price point pains me a bit, but I just can't be without this stuff now that I own it. Now, I will say when it comes to going out for special occasions, I stick with perfume instead, but this is great for those more casual days where you want to still smell DELICIOUS but don't want to feel like you're wearing an overpowering perfume either. Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in seven scents). 15. 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. 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 $7.69 (available in two styles and larger packs). 16. A nail and cuticle care solution for helping your nails look fresh and healthy. Use it consistently for results that'll wow you! Check out the CND cuticle oil on TikTok! Promising review:" This product is a game changer for my nails. I use it every night before bed. It has helped my nails become stronger because they are no longer dry and brittle. I highly recommend it." — Christine Murray Get it from Amazon for $9.90. 17. 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. Check out the Cosrx snail essence on TikTok! Promising review: " Skincare game changer. I started using this two years ago, and this product has transformed my skin completely! I have dull, dry skin and this helps hydrate and makes my complexion look healthy and hydrated. I use this under my moisturizer day and night." — Nhi Luu Get it from Amazon for $18.50. 18. 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. I suffer from hormonal acne — it's just something that I have come to terms with and will have to deal with for many more years to come, and while it's not fun, these acne patches make it sooo much easier. When I have a pimple about to come to a head, I pop one of these babies on it before bed and then peel it off along with all the gunk it pulls out. It definitely helps speed up the process, and they're gentle on my sensitive skin! Promising review:"These patches are the only reliable way to shrink an existing pimple. I always get pimples that swell up but won't come to a head. I've tried all the lotions, creams, salves, hot compresses, etc. Nothing worked on existing pimples. But these patches take the swelling right down. For really bad ones, it sometimes takes a couple of days of wearing the patches, but it will go away (much faster than the one to two weeks it always takes if I just do nothing). Plus, the patch keeps you from touching or picking at it.' — snowmentality Get 72 stickers from Amazon for $21.97 (also available in a pack of 36). 19. 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 get rid of lime and mineral build-up that naturally occurs inside dishwashers. 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 purchasing 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. 20. A pet hair remover you simply swipe 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 cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired, 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." — DH Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 21. A portable digital luggage scale because it's time we put an end to that gut-wrenching moment the airline counter tells you your suitcase is a few pounds over the weight limit. Being forced to transfer your things from your suitcase into your carry-on in the middle of the terminal for everyone to see is dreadful. I simply do not need the entire JetBlue terminal judging me for being so indecisive that I felt the need to pack my entire closet into my suitcase. Promising review:"This luggage scale is so handy and is great for weighing your luggage. I was a little concerned before I got it because I wasn't sure how accurate it would be. When I used it when I went on vacation, it was dead-on to what the airport said, so I highly recommend this. Plus, it's easy to pack in your bags." — Teresa Daniels Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in six colors and a two-pack). 22.

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 (also available in a two-pack). 24.

Promising review:"I have been trying all kinds of deodorants for months, trying to find one that works! I sweat a lot at work, and this stuff works! I don't have to reapply. This doesn't leave any staining on my clothes. The smell is nice and light. Finally found something that works!" — Zindarella Get it from Amazon for $8.19 (also available in a two-pack). 25. A shaved sheep plushie you can love in two different ways — with a zippered wooly coat on or off. Either way, this smiling little cutie is happy to become your new BFF. Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." — Aerebys Stare Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 26. A veggie chopper for those who wanna cook homemade meals but are so daunted by the thought of prepping the ingredients, they're already ordering Seamless a fourth night in a row. Amazon Fullstar is a small biz that specializes in super useful kitchen gadgets! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in four colors and five sizes, also available in a super cool croc version). 27. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction, so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors.

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.

Read more about electrolyte-enhanced drinks and hydration at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Liquid I.V. does an amazing job hydrating. I purchase their product for 40+ employees who work in a construction-related industry. Hydration is so important while working in the hot Georgia Sun, and this product aids in this 100%. Now, let's talk about the firecracker flavor! When we produced these for our crew, ages 23–60, all of their eyes lit up, and they were super excited. Many of them did not know this flavor existed. Quite honestly, I didn't either until I came across them on Amazon. They all loved the flavor. In particular, the ones who were older kept telling me it tasted like their childhood. Seriously, who hasn't stood outside an ice cream truck ordering the Firecracker Popsicle?" — Disney Diva Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $23.99 (available in 15 flavors).
