The Only Thing More Shocking Than How Well These 35 Beauty Products Work Is How Damn Cheap They Are
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 $10 foolproof gradual self-tanning lotion is maybe the cheapest, easiest beauty hack you'll ever buy on this here internet. 1. A tinted lip balm so close to the same magic as " Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference! Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can't be beat, so I'm buying more." — HAC Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!). 2. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream your skin will be SO happy to soak up — this is formulated with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil to help hydrate, tighten, and gently exfoliate your skin so effectively that you should be able to see early results in two weeks. Reviewers especially love how affordable this is compared to creams that often cost three times this $12 price tag (or more)! Promising review: "I am a lotion user every single day. I use face moisturizers that I love. I am over the moon by how good this is. I mainly use it on my neck, hands and forearms. The difference is amazing. My skin actually feels so good. I wish I could but larger containers of it." — Kimberly P. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 3. A delightfully affordable instant foot peeling spray for anyone ready to go full YEEHAW!! on that at-home pedicure. This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck. Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." — KimT Get it from Amazon for $5.48. 4. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it fashion." Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric Band-Aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. 5. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding when that winter dryness is coming for your 'do. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review: This stuff is AMAZING. I have been bleaching my hair for 12 years. My hair has never looked or felt better before using this. It is so soft, shiny and healthy only using this once a week. It has worked better on my hair than Olaplex or other expensive treatments. I'll never use anything else!" — Craig Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. 6. A set of super affordable hydrocolloid nose pore patches (compare to the $16 Mighty Patch equivalent) that will make you go "boy HOWDY" when you see how much gunk collects on them overnight. Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance! 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 from Amazon for $9.98. 7. Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion gives you a gradually-building, vacation-worthy ~sunkissed glow~ over the course of just a few days. Not only is this easy peasy to apply compared to other finickier, streaking lotions, but it's formulated with collagen and elastin to help your skin appear firmer *and* glowier. Promising review:"I'm really impressed with this product. It's very easy to apply, the same way you would any lotion. It absorbs quickly into the skin. There is a very light, pleasant, fragrance. I had no issues with application or streaks. The tanning lotion gives a nice bronze appearance to the skin which is what I was looking for. The sunless tanner allows you to continue to build the color until you reach your desired look." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.47 (available in Fair to Medium, Medium to Deep, and several sizes). 8. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $5.75 (available in two styles). 9. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs with other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry. Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. 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. 10. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 11. A shockingly affordable "Glow Up!" Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a powerful punch — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration. Promising review:"I've been using the Vitamin C Face Serum for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely in love with it! My skin feels so much smoother and brighter, and I've noticed a significant reduction in the dark spots I've been struggling with. The serum absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue, and it has a lovely, light scent. My complexion is looking more even, and I can see a visible improvement in my skin tone. I also appreciate how gentle it is on my skin, with no irritation at all. This serum has quickly become a must-have in my skincare routine! Highly recommend for anyone looking to tackle dark spots and brighten their skin." — Patricia D. Get it from Amazon for $11.98. 12. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will be your holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes when schedule is throwing you for a loop. This lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference — one that a lot of reviewers compare to the $33 Becca version. 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." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 13. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I put it on every night and morning. I've been using a little over a month and you can already tell a difference. My dark circles are hereditary, so I truly thought nothing would work. However this stuff IS GREAT!" — Shay M. Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 14. Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. The subtle gardenia scent is just extra extra credit after all that. Check out a TikTok of the Monday Dry Shampoo in action. Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." — Meg B. Get it from Amazon for $6.97. 15. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. Promising review:"This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" — Mona L Cureton Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.26 (clip the 30% off coupon on the product page for this price). 16. E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm for all the ultra fans of Summer Fridays, Rhode, and Laneige whose bank accounts are begging them to put a stop to the lippie madness. These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.) Promising review: "Diva, stop letting these influencers sway you into spending your hard-earned (and scarce) beans on $20–$30 subpar lip balms — you're paying for the brand, and the quality is questionable. E.l.f. KNOCKED THEM BOTH OUTTA THE PARK WITH THIS! SO BUTTERY, SO YUMMY, SOOOOOOO MUCH PRODUCT!!!!! I wasn't expecting the tube to be so generous in size, by far the biggest amount I've seen from the market. The flavors are divine, the color payoff is even better than Summer Fridays … and it's only $9, you cannot go wrong. I just can't fathom any balm being priced above $12, E.l.f. always hits and barely misses. 🩷💋" — SONIA Get it from Amazon for $9 (available in Strawberry Shortcake, Blackberry Sorbet, Java Chip, Vanilla Toffee, Wild Cherry, and Yummy Gummy). 17. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok has spent years going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. It's so beloved that Eos recently released a matching Vanilla Cashmere Shave Oil! Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo "I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 18. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse designed for all hair types to give you satisfyingly hydrated, volumized, frizz-free curls at a FRACTION of the price of its competitors. Promising review:"I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a pony tail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $3.98. 19. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter that looked at the iconic (and expensive) Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter and said, "Game on, pal." Not only does this give that dewy, soft, "barely there" finish, but it's designed to hydrate your skin with hyaluronic acid, helping improve your moisture barrier for longterm glowiness, too. Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I've gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes I use it under foundation and sometimes I use it solo with a bit of concealer. I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" — mapagill "If you like Charlotte Tilbury, flawless filter this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it, you will be happy you did!" — Amazonreview Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in 12 shades). 20. A hydrating, plumping lip glow oil reviewers compare to the cult-fave Dior Lip Oil ... that is, if it were a FRACTION of the price 👀. Promising review: "I will no longer pay $40 for the Dior lip oil. It smells the same. It's not sticky, but stays on. This is a great glossy look that feels comfortable." — Brianna Clark Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in six shades and in two-packs). 21. Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops, aka the more affordable version of the beloved $39 Drunk Elephant version. This buildable, hydrating formula is an easy way to add a ~sunkissed touch~ to your beauty routine without breaking the bank (or compromising your skin!). Promising review:"I love this so I ordered a second for backup! Depending on my day I will add no more than one or two drops to my moisturizer or my primer. Takes away the winter pallor of my face which definitely has not had enough sun lately. The bottle is small, but you don't need to use much. Reasonably priced for the amount. I would say buy it." — Incognito Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 22. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse so your brows can get all the ~~vavoom~~ they deserve. This easy-to-use, buildable brow applicator lightly fluffs and tames brows to give them a fuller, softer appearance, giving them that laminated look without the expensive treatment. Amazon Promising review:"So quick and easy to get full fluffy brows! It does it all in one. Gives them volume, holds them nice without being over-tacky and stiff, and darkens them. So easy in the morning before work. Takes a couple of swipes, and I am ready to go." — jessica alexandra Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (available in six shades) 23. A reviewer-beloved (and makeup artist–beloved!) beauty sponge blender that rolled up and ate up all the expensive name-brand versions for breakfast. This is firm and smooth when you use it dry for powder applications, and soft and flexible when you wet it for creams and liquids, making it the ultimate versatile sponge in your beauty trove ... for a mere $4 (!!) compared to the $20 BeautyBlender version. Promising review:"This sponge works just as well as the $20 BeautyBlender for a fraction of the price. It does not soak up your foundation, rather it allows you to apply with ease. It feels a bit off if you're used to a regular BeautyBlender, but you get used to the feeling. Like the first time and soaked it and squeezed I thought for sure this will not work, but I was pleasantly surprised 😲. Nothing to dislike here, for the price it's worth it." — Tara D. Get two from Amazon for $5.58. 24. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E that reviewers adore for getting that ✨ CLEAN clean✨ feeling — it's designed to leave zero residue or oiliness, *plus* brighten skin and reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots. People compare it to pricey versions like Farmacy Green Clean, Dermalogica, and Elemis! Amazon, Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products. Promising review:"I've loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1-2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis. I wanted something just as good at a lower price and I FOUND IT! This cleanser absolutely melts away makeup and deep cleans the skin without any drying or eye irritation! It smells great and a little goes a loooonng way — I'm in love!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 25. And The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. Promising review: "I have combination skin and the Tatcha Rice Wash is the only thing I can use. I was gonna spend my last few dollars on the Tatcha but then I saw this. With the price I thought if it doesn't work, it isn't a huge deal. I'm never going back, this is like the exact same thing and you barely need any, the scent is the only difference besides it being a bit thicker BUT THAT'S GOOD because it's BARELY thicker AND that means even less goes a much longer way. This is a holy grail item. If you haven't tried it, I soooo highly recommend." — Lingaling Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes). 26. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, aka humidity's WORST ENEMY. 😈 This super lightweight argan oil solution is designed for all hair types to help manage frizz and define waves and curls without weighing them down, and will be the MVP in your hair arsenal in the warmer temps — especially considering how costly competitive serums are! Promising review: "I've struggled with frizzy hair for years, but this has been a game-changer for me. A few drops of this lightweight serum applied to damp hair before styling tames frizz instantly, leaving my hair smooth, shiny, and incredibly manageable. The argan oil infusion adds a touch of nourishment and helps to prevent future frizz. I'm so happy I finally found a product that actually works to control my unruly hair!" — Kleo Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (also available in larger sizes and multipacks). 27. A bottle of Nyx matte setting spray for anyone who wants the all-day protection of MAC and Urban Decay's setting sprays without the price tag — this matte finish will lock your look in place in just a few seconds, even on days when the sun is trying to melt you like an ice pop. Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of Kleenex. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $8.50 (also available in dewy and radiant finishes, and a jumbo size). 28. A set of satin pillowcases that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep. Reviewers especially love these because they're an affordable alternative to ones that typically run $18 per case! Amazon Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about them: ""I own multiple sets of these and even pack them when I travel because I never want to sleep on a cotton pillowcase again after getting used to these beauts." Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key "These are really nice — perfect price point too. There's no difference between these and the same pillowcases from Kitsch at three times the price." — Keri Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 22 colors and four sizes). 29. Etude's delightfully multipurpose Dear Darling Water Tint, which a lot of reviewers compare to Benefit's Lip Tint. This smudgeproof formula is designed primarily to be a natural-looking, weightless lip stain, but reviewers use it as a blush as well! Promising review: "I bought the Benefit version a couple of months ago and was very underwhelmed by it, but this product is sooo soo much better than Benetint. The pigment is so good and natural at the same time. A 10/10 for sure. And at this price point what's there not to like?" — Rachael Get it from Amazon for $7.40+ (available in five shades and combo packs). 30. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. 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. "I will not use anything else. I was hesitant to try this as I have sensitive skin and have always stuck to basic products. It's light and refreshing — coverage is incredible! Definitely magic." — Sarah G. Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six styles). 31. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation. Amazon Promising review: "Love these drops. So effective, a little goes a long way. Great for a boost of hydration, especially in the colder and/or drier months. Great as a primer before makeup to smooth the skin. Such a value for a product that packs a punch. My skin hasn't looked better!" — Ken Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 32. A multipurpose blush stick reviewers compare to the $18 Pixi Beauty version — this version may be cheaper, but it's also easily buildable, blendable, and perfect for that light, dewy, "kissed by a happy pink cloud" look. Promising review: "I bought this and my daughter immediately tried to steal it because she thought it was the real thing. Ha! This is so easy to use and a little goes a long way. This will last for a while. And was a fraction of the price of the brand name." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three shades). 33. Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette as an $8 alternative to the $88 (!!) Makeup Forever Palette. This includes a range of highly-pigmented, super blendable shades to help you contour, highlight, and bronze on days when your Gcal just say "GO GO GO" all the way down. (Psst — this is the same brand behind the TikTok-famous $6 Under Eye Brightener, so you know they mean business!) Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette in action. Promising review:"I love this palette. The blush is so pigmented and so are the bronzers. Good travel size. I am a professional makeup artist who travels weekly and it's easy to throw into my touch up kit for backstage too, as it doesn't take up much room and is very light." — Deja Victoria Seif Get it from Amazon for $8. 34. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant helps exfoliate and smooth skin by dealing with rough patches or dry bumps at a price point a *lot* cheaper than expensive prescription creams and washes. A lot of reviewers with keratosis pilaris and similar skin textures swear by this for relief, with many noticing a difference after the very first use. First Aid Beauty is a US-based small business that specializes in clean, fragrance-free, cruelty-free personal care products. Promising review: "I saw a dermatologist recommend this on TikTok, and I figured I'd give it a try. I have had red bumps on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember and have tried multiple things, so I didn't have very high expectations. After one use, I could already see a difference! It says to use it 1–2 times a week, but I use it usually every other day, and I use Cerave rough and bumpy lotion after, and now my red bumps are almost nonexistent. This product has truly been life-changing, and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with red bumps! 10/10!" — Sydney Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in two sizes and three scents). 35. Moodmatcher color-changing lipstick, an affordable WinkyLux alternative that not only adapts to the pH of your skin to create a personalized, perfect shade for your skin tone, but lasts for HOURS. Reviewers marvel at its all-day staying power even after meals and breaking a sweat. Look at that lil' green lipstick go!! Amazon Moodmatcher is a small business that specializes in color-changing lipstick. Promising review:"This color is beautiful, and shows up differently on everyone. This thing that I like most about this product, is that it stays on all day even through eating several meals. I have to use a microfiber cloth to remove it at night!" — Rasheda Get it from Amazon for $6.59 (available in eight shades). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Must-buy!" — Brittany "I am a lotion user every single day. I use face moisturizers that I love. I am over the moon how good this is. I mainly use it on my neck, hands, and forearms.

Must have for oily hair." — Dino Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades and in multipacks). 3. A piercing bump solution because you didn't go through the pain of a piercing for a pesky keloid to steal the spotlight! This formula is rich in oils, including jojoba, grape seed, and rose to help gradually reduce bumps and scars over time. This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily two to three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I'm applying on the nose area." — Jordan Caprigno Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks). 4. A foot file to ensure you don't have to live with crusty feet for a moment longer. Simply rub this file on your feet and watch the dead skin fall right off. When you reveal that silky-smooth surface underneath, you'll wish you'd discovered it sooner. Promising review:"BEST THING EVER! It's a MUST-HAVE! I have the WORST dry heels. It doesn't matter if I wear socks all the time I always get dry heals. Bought this thinking it would work pretty average or similar to others I had used. I was sooo wrong. It is literally the most amazing product ever. It works SO WELL! Usually it takes me a good 15–20 minutes at least to achieve somewhat of a soft heal. Enter this, it took me five minutes tops. I've never had softer feet! It honestly works even better than going to get a pedicure professionally. Seriously so happy I found this." — Mickenzie Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 5. OR!

It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Want to know more? Check out our full Lee Beauty Callus Remover write-up! Promising review:"I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this, my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions... left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three styles and as a two-pack). 6.

And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" — Claire Blanchard 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 fall. 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 this.. hats off!!" — Dee Get it from Amazon for $9.97 7.

Talk to your doctor before using this product if you're experiencing hair loss. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. 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 using 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 in love with 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 three scents, four sizes, and as a two-pack). 8. A game-changing nail biting polish for anyone who feels like they need a miracle to stop their chomping habit. If you wanna grow gorgeous nails instead of rockin' the stubby look, this stuff can help! It tastes terrible but is perfectly safe and will make you think twice the next time you put your hand near your mouth. Promising review:"This really helps!!! I've been biting my nails to the nub for 24 years. I have nails now and I don't bite anymore; that's all I wanted. This product made that happen. It tastes SO bad, I never realized how much I subconsciously put my hands in my mouth until I used this. However, I figured I should warn you/give you guys a heads up, be prepared to taste this on ANY AND ALL foods you have to eat with your hands. To me, that was a small sacrifice I was DEFINITELY willing to make to get my nails to this point. I don't even need to use it anymore because now I'm more aware of my nails. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this product." — Kelsey Walton Get it from Amazon for $12.35. 9. SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes if sweaty pits are ruining your day, every single day. Give your armpits a swipe before bed, wash them in the morning, and you could potentially enjoy up to seven days of bliss with less sweat. Now that's groundbreaking. Each box lasts two months! Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a 10-count box from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in 20-count and 30-count boxes) 10. A stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can kick stale breath and leave your mouth with a fresh, clean feeling. All that gunk living on the surface of your tongue = GONE! No one will be offering you an unsolicited stick of gum anytime soon. Promising review:"Embarrassingly Gross. Never had any idea what I'd pull off my tongue each morning… I'll save you the details – but surprised it took me into my mid-40s to discover [this]. Every human who brushes their teeth needs one… [it] has already helped my breath." — L. Utton Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.76 (available in various styles, larger multipacks, and individually). 11. And for good measure, an alcohol-free oral rinse — it can assist in the fight against bad breath for 24 hours and doesn't have a super strong taste that lingers OR burns. Put down the mints and pick up the rinse! Just swish a capful for a minute and gargle for 30 seconds after you're done brushing your teeth in the morning and night. Promising review:"I'm actually a dentist who often has bad breath, which is not a good combination. My oral hygiene is great (tongue scraping, brushing, flossing, etc.), but I have allergies and constantly have a bit of post-nasal drip, which contributes to the bad breath. While this stuff isn't perfect, and my breath doesn't stay fresh all day, it is definitely the longest-lasting product I have tried so far. It is the first thing I have tried that still gives me that minty feeling when I breathe deep 4–6 hours after using it. Will definitely be buying again." — Alex Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.34 (also available individually and in mild mint). 12. A shockingly effective wart-removing gel for the kinda results that'll have rubbing your eyes in disbelief. It contains salicylic acid to help dry out those growths *and* it comes with waterproof patches for an effective, no-mess solution. Promising review:" I had five awfully painful plantar warts on my foot for about four months. They were all about a 1/4 inch apart on the ball of my foot and I had a massive one under my second toe. It was becoming hard to walk with how painful they were. This was a Hail Mary and it worked phenomenally. The gel coats well right where you apply it. It doesn't have an awful stench. I applied it every three to four days for a couple of weeks. I noticed the pain was less and less until I didn't notice any. Last night I was actually able to pull and peel the remains of the dead warts out!! Kinda gross, but kind of cool. Seriously, this product works. If you have annoying is the answer!!!" — CJ805 Get a kit with the gel and 12 patches from Amazon for $12.89 (also available in two other styles). 13. O'Keeffe's Lip Repair to help with the dry, cracked, and/or chapped lips you've struggled with for years. If you're already familiar with the brand's famous Working Hands cream, you know it's the real deal. Why not give your pout the same royal treatment while you sleep? 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 as a two-pack). 14. A nose hair wax kit that'll quickly remove rogue nostril hairs *without* it ending in a face full of tears.

But of course, it's your body and if you want to wax your nose hairs you're more than welcome to — just be careful as removing nose hairs can lead to infection and ingrown hairs. Read more about it at the Cleveland Clinic. You'll get 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 10 paper cups at your disposal. Promising review:"I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose this product!!!" — Julie J. Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 15. A genuinely ~wonder~ful balm for resolving just about any persistent skin condition you've been praying would just vanish on its own. Whether it's ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, or plain old dry skin, this stuff may be the solution you've been scouring the earth for. Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I've seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They've prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I've even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I'm talking itchy like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I'd do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can't seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I'm so glad I did." — Jackie Get it from Amazon for $36.32. 16. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" so you can obliterate those stubborn food particles stuck between your teeth. These not-so-ordinary brushes have multilayer bristles that act as strong pieces of floss to get in there REAL good. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what one of our editors, Emma Lord, has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" — Jason A. Get a pair from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a four-pack). 17. A mouthguard and retainer cleaner because yours probably needs a refresh by now. Drop a tablet in a glass of warm water, then add your mouthguard, retainer, or Invisalign to help demolish odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque. You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more. Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R. Get a pack of 120 tablets from Amazon for $18.81 (also available as a pack of 60 or 240 tablets). 18. An exfoliating mitt you'll be so glad to discover because it helps you achieve ~super smooth~ skin without harsh chemicals or rough dry brushes. Regular exfoliation is great for reducing other annoying probs, like bumps and ingrown hairs. Promising review:"Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I've tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I'll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" — Danielle Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three styles and as a two-pack). 19. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula when you wanna experience that post-facial glow from the comfort of your home. This can unclog pores via high-frequency vibrations. Each cycle lasts five minutes before it automatically turns off. Bonus: Your skincare products will be better absorbed after using it! See it in action on TikTok! My colleague Negesti Kaudo uses this: "I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel!" Promising review:"Don't doubt it, a staple in skincare. I got this little device from a TikTok and decided to give it a try. I never knew I needed it until the first time I tried it. The vibrations magically bring up all the stubborn blackheads you can't reach with just your fingers, especially if you have acrylics like me." — Paige Chaney Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in three colors). 20. A fungal nail renewal treatment — yes, there is indeed a solution to that funky toenail that's bugging you. This groundbreaking formula helps treat fungal nail damage and may help with the discoloration, thickness, and brittleness associated with it. Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about 3 years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked til I bought this one. Let me tell you it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone and it's been less than 2 months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available with nail files). 21. Veet's sensitive hair removal gel if removing unwanted hair feels like the most tedious task in the world and you wanna change that. This hydrating cream gently removes hair and helps reduce the chance of painful ingrowns. Apply evenly, wait 5 to 10 minutes, remove it with the spatula, then rinse. It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Promising review:"I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin & this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." — Crystal Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack). 22. Mighty Patches, which are ~tiny but mighty~ and use hydrocolloid to help draw the gunk out of zits. Stick one on at bedtime and behold the amazing results upon waking — seriously, where have these been all your life?! Reviewers also love that you can hardly tell you're wearing one. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says:"I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets! Promising review:"I purchased these for my son, who suffers from cystic acne. He puts them on the pimples at night and in the morning, the pimples are dramatically reduced in size and his skin is 'flat' in his words. I highly recommend these to anyone who suffers from any type of acne. They were recommended by another mom on my son's basketball team. Her son was using them and I am so thankful that she shared how great the Mighty Patches are!" — Slade Salisbury Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in larger multipack)s. 23. And some overnight hydrocolloid *nose* patches so you can win the battle against excess oil, irritating pimples, and enlarged pores. You'll get immense satisfaction from peeling off the patch to reveal all the stuff that was clinging to your skin.

My skin feels AMAZING after I use them!!" — Lillie Blanton Get a pack of seven from Amazon for $9.98. 24.

Promising review:"I HAVE NEVER HAD A HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT. UNTIL NOW!! Literally SO effective. Tons of people have been complimenting my skin from my boyfriend (who doesn't always notice subtle changes) to my coworkers ONLINE VIA VIDEO! My skin literally looks visibly brighter and smoother. The only thing you have to be careful of is if you freshly wax or thread any part of your face. Wait a day or two to use the product in case you have sensitive skin to be safe!" — Ulta Customer Get it from Ulta, Live Tinted, or Amazon for $34. 26. A "why didn't I try this sooner?" teeth-whitening pen that can help banish relentless stains from wine, coffee, and tea that you've tried literally everything else on. It's painless, effective, *and* mint-flavored! Promising review:"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.95+ (also available in packs of four or individually). 27. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors to eliminate stray hairs or peach fuzz *and* reduce the chances of missing a spot. They leave your skin feeling smooth to the touch, which allows for a more seamless makeup application! Promising review:"I bought these blades to try at home dermaplaning. I was nervous at first, but it's almost impossible to cut yourself with these and it took the peach fuzz right off my face. In fact, as I was staring at my face in a magnifying mirror and removing the fuzz, I noticed my nose hair was a little out of control. I even used one of these in my nose (that's right) and it worked great! I will be keeping a few of these on-hand at all times." — TKB Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.94 (also available as a set of nine). 28.

This shampoo was designed to work for sensitive scalps, color-dyed, and chemically processed hair, as well as for all hair types and textures, with reviewers with 3b – 4c curls mentioning it worked for them. Promising review: "I saw this product from a TikTok video. I was hesitant. I have been dealing with dandruff for almost 10 years, fortunately not that heavy but enough to where it was embarrassing. I tried everything. Leave in conditioner, tea tree oil, Head and Shoulders, etc. One brand did work for a couple of days but that's it. But this product has worked EFFECTIVELY. Dandruff-free for two months so far. Can leave your hair feeling a little dry so just use conditioner and it will balance out. If other products aren't working for you with dandruff I can confidently recommend this one." — Martin C. 29. The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller, which will probably feel like you've struck gold. This tool can help make excess oil ✨disappear✨ with a few swipes. It's more eco-friendly than blotting sheets and you won't have to keep reapplying powder. Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $8.55. 31. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle — a safe *and* effective cleaning method instead for anyone who struggles with ear wax buildup, blockages, and impaction.

This will loosen up wax and cause it to basically just fall right out of your ear! Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients' earwax impactions. Promising review:"Gross photos. My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life and up until this point we have paid to have a professional take care of it. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." — Tea Get it from Amazon for $31.95. 32. Or an earwax removal kit made with carbamide peroxide to help draw out stubborn wax so well, you'll wonder how you dealt with it *before* this revelation. The results may make ya queasy, but you'll think twice about sticking cotton swabs in your ear again! Promising review:"Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 33. A reusable menstrual cup for anyone who has sworn off pads and tampons. It'll save you money *and* it's more environmentally friendly than disposables. Simply empty it out and clean it when you're done! You'll feel like a true period wizard when you pass that aisle at the store. Danielle Healy / BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Shopping editor Danielle Healy says: "The menstrual cup factor that freaked me out the most was the thought of having to get up there and break the seal to take it out. So when I saw the Flex Cup, which is specifically designed to make that process easier, I figured why not give it a try. This is a purchase I would definitely file under the 'life-changing' category. Yes, there is a learning curve, but by my second cycle with the cup, I felt like a pro. Even with the pull tab, taking it out can be a little messy (I tend to just do it in the shower), but it's definitely a more controlled experience than if it wasn't there at all. With my flow, I can leave my cup in for 12 straight hours without fear (can't say the same about tampons...), meaning the Flex Cup has made my period less awful. A true feat!" Promising review:"So very happy with my purchase!! Fits comfortably! Easy to insert and remove, just takes some getting used to. Save money on pads and tampons! Very, very, very happy with this purchase." — Evie Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in two sizes and in bundles). 34.

The duo pitched their tattoo aftercare balm in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in two scents). 35.

Amazon This cruelty-free formula does not contain any sulfates, phthalates, or parabens. Promising review:"I've suffered with sweaty hands for all of my life. It's an issue that has caused me embarrassment and anxiety where there should be neither. I've only just started using this lotion, but I can tell it's making a difference. It definitely has a distinct drying effect and makes my hands feel smooth." — Gary Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two scents and in multipacks). 36. A set of silicone Kegel weights to help you take charge of your health down there. It's great for Kegel newbies and can help with incontinence, especially if you've given birth recently. It's also ideal for anyone who wants more enjoyable *and* less painful sex. Intimate Rose is a small biz creating wellness products, like dilators, weights, supplements, and more that help treat issues and pain related to the pelvic floor. Promising review:"Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more dashes to the restroom because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." — Julie Tauber Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.98. 37. An ingrown toenail treatment if you're eager to correct your nail's natural curve — you know, the one that causes awful ingrowns and makes it hard to wear shoes. This'll straighten things out and finally relieve that painful, throbbing pressure. The kit includes 10 transparent braces, nontoxic brace adhesive, solvent, a nail file, and cotton swabs. Clean the area with solvent, then apply the adhesive to one end of the brace before bonding it to the nail. Ensure the length is correct before applying adhesive to the other end of the brace, then finish bonding it to the nail. Promising review:"I used to be in sports all through middle and high school, and it really messed up my left foot overall especially my big toe. I was always embarrassed by my big toe during the summer that I'd put a Band-Aid over it to make it seem like it was injured. Finding someone to fix your toe is expensive, and I don't have that kind of money at the moment. Started doing research on ways to do so and this one was the best way. Found this product with all the things one needs — applied it as directed, and it does take some practice but once attached it should not move. Your toes will hurt for a day. Like a dense pain. Not sharp. I saw a difference in about two weeks. I'm a month in on the most severe toe and no more ingrown toenail!" — Sandra L. Get the kit from Amazon for $44.99.

61 Products We Will Stop Writing About When Reviewers Stop Raving About Them — In Other Words, Never
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 · You don't wanna think about your calluses. But this easy remover will make them a disappearing act in time for sandal season. 1. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil so you don't have to use your precious face cream all over your neck too. Promising review: "I am a lotion user every single day. I use face moisturizers that I love. I am over the moon how good this is. I mainly use it on my neck, hands and forearms. The difference is amazing. My skin actually feels so good. I wish I could but larger containers of it." — Kimberly P. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 2. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel you'll wonder how you lived without 'til now because reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Promising review:"I never write reviews, but this eye cream has made a difference on my under eyes! I've only been using it for a week and I would definitely recommend it. I've bought several eye creams (expensive brands) and never noticed a difference as fast as I've seen using this product." — Natalie Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 3. E.l.f. Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. I can confirm that it STAYS put on my lashes until I want it gone. (Even the best of waterproof mascaras make me look like a raccoon after a few hours.) Then, it's super easy to remove the "tubes" with a few gentle swipes. I'll be buying this stuff again and as long as they make it. Here's Emma Lord 's review that convinced me: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 4. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens to easily apply and let sit a minute or two to dry. Buh-bye annoying strips that never quite fit your teeth and coffee stains. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades. I'm currently working my way through one of these pens! Promising review:"I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." — vicki houska Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 5. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, a quick, easy fix for concealing and brightening your under-eye dark circles because you don't wanna have to do a full face every single day. This "invisible" coverage oft gets compared to the $33 Becca version. The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Girlies with dark under-eyes, probs like myself, need to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better, in my opinion!! It's very pigmented and covers a blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months. A little dab goes a long way. It's extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I'm a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!" — Caitlin Newcomb Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 6. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you're probably at least somewhat aware of by now. It's only $5 and smells totally delightful. (It gets compared to sweet treats like waffle cones AND the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar.) Promising review: "If you love vanilla scents with a splash of sweet chocolate and marshmallow, this is it! First time trying, and I'm in love. Long-lasting. Might last longer than the spray. Definitely WILL buy again and again and again." — H.G. Get it from Amazon for $4.50 (available in two styles). 7. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles for a serious step up from regular brushes. It has regular firm bristles PLUS longer ones that are ten times thinner to *really* get in between teeth and gums, mimicking flossing. Psst, it's also safe for sensitive teeth. Mouthwatchers is a small business by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans — which are great for targeting stuff often missed with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say about them: " I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. " Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90. 8. An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired Cremo Body Wash will help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day. 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 "I love how this body wash smells and how soft it left my skin! I will be buying again :)." — vivian Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 9. A callus-removing gel for professional pedicure results at home if scrubbing, soaking, and filing have failed you. It's sandal season, y'all! Promising review: "Amazing. Now I know the first pic is gross but that just shows how bad my feet were, scrubbing, pedicures, soaking all just made it worse until I found this cream! I mean it seriously shows In the pics. The other big thing I noticed was how soft my feet were after using it! Too bad you can't tell that from the picture. Idk what makes this work so well but it's a miracle! And yes definitely wear gloves and you're good to go." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.87. 10. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion with an intoxicating scent and formula that'll soak in and keep you hydrated. Oh, and that scent?! People compare it to brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo "I love everything about this lotion! I had been using a body butter that was ten times as expensive, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative and I am SO glad I found this! I immediately ordered three more bottles." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 11. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder can stop shine in its tracks without having to dip into a coffee shop bathroom to touch up your makeup. It walks that fine (perfect) line of blurring and keeping you matte r without making you look dull. 'Tis the season for your skin to come out of its dry cave and it's always a bit tough to find that perfect in-between! Amazon, 12. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a TikTok-famous cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking kitchen faucet. Promising review:"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" — Micaela Gunderson Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 13. Plus, The Pink Stuff Spray in case you're extremely into the OG cleaning paste and have wondered out loud, "Hm, I wonder what else they make." Well, THIS! Promising review: "I've tried everything I could think of to get my oven clean, then came across this on Amazon. It smells like green apples to me, which is far better than most cleaning products. The picture was taken during the cleaning process of the inside of the glass door. I'm amazed!" — Star 14. SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream contains caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract, which all make a lovely combo to help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. Reviewers especially love the intoxicating scent and sometimes opt out of wearing perfume because the vanilla/salted caramel/pistachio scent is quite strong. I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash. Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky 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 $22 (available in three sizes). 15. A sturdy Pikk-It tool with sharp metal teeth that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.) Promising review: "Cleaned three items in less than five minutes. Vacuum brush head and two hair brushes that have three girls' long hair. I can't wait to get the whole vacuum and rug cleaner bristles cleaned. I had to write this review after testing it out. Design is strong, sturdy, and handles great. Highly recommended." — Rob Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 16. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a lightweight but SUPER hydrating face serum made to work on all skin types — yep, even sensitive skin. It addresses acne scars, dark spots, and fine lines. Plus! The snail mucin is harvested in an ethically and environmentally friendly way. Promising review: "I caved to the TikTok hype and now I am obsessed, lol! I have extremely sensitive skin but this was the first product that I didn't have to go through a 'getting used to' phase." — Shelby Get it from Amazon for $15.99. Pair it with the moisturizer for even more impressive results. 17. An 8-in-1 mani in a bottle for a long-lasting flush of color that'll make it seem like you went and got a pro mani. But really, you brushed it on while you caught up on Summer House for a much nicer result than the last time you tried that with a regular polish. Promising review: "I love this stuff. I wanted the benefits of these ingredients but also wanted a flush of color. This stuff is so pretty. You can see on my thumb how smooth my severely rigid and damaged nail is. It looks so much better. The pointer and middle finger have a press on, but I wanted to show how well it applied on flawed natural nails too, next to a 'perfect' press-on." — Katerina Get it from Amazon for $5.36. 18. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can simply just spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. Promising review:"I bought this so that I would not have to use energy to scrub my tub and shower. It may not seem like a lot of energy but for somebody who has a chronic illness and is a clean freak, it's a lifesaver!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.98. 19. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal. Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.99. 20. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller that'll remove oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again. 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. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $8.88. 21. Murdle, Volume 1, a book chock full with so many mystery-themed logic puzzles (100, to be exact) that it should be illegal. And if you're worried about speed running through the book, there are three editions! Check out Volume 2, Volume 3, and even more themed Murdle books! Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends. I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for awhile!" — Liz Gately Get it from Amazon for $10.25. 22. Affresh dishwasher tablets can get rid of residue that ends up creating odor and buildup on your dishes. Turns out, you don't need a new dishwasher, it just needs a proper cleaning. 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 dishes 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. When Affresh came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully every month, 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 them from Amazon for $8.99. 23. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper will make onion tears and food prep mess a thing of the past! This way, you can actually pull off that Pinterest recipe you've been meaning to make instead of paying Uber Eats $30 for Taco Bell. (Sometimes that's worth it, though.) Amazon Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 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 $29.99. 24. A set of *washable* Flat Socks topark in all your flats and sneakers and fend off foot stank. Listen, you still aren't on the tube sock bandwagon and won't apologize for it. But you don't need people demanding apologies for your stinky shoes. Promising review: "What a cool product! I found these on a 'got to have' list off Facebook. I throw shoes out because of the smell rather than wearing them out as I hate wearing socks. Bare feet all the time in shoes is not a winner. These are great at preventing stinky shoes — trim to size and just toss in the washer when needed! I will be buying several additional pairs!" — Amy Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles). 25. A pack of Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages made with hydrocolloid to not only avoid rubbing existing blisters, but also to help heal them. ESSENTIAL now that's it's walking-outside weather again. Here's what BuzzFeed staffer Emma Lord has to say about them: "As a blister-prone human, I swear by these. A few years ago, before I invested in these running socks that prevent blisters, I got a blister on my big toe so unspeakably large and painful that I am cringing even TYPING about it, and no amount of rest from running seemed to heal it; it just kept coming back. I finally used one of these bandages, and the pain was virtually gone from the moment I put it on. It was also so airtight that nothing got inside, and it didn't loosen in the shower. You're supposed to take it off when it loses adhesive so it can come off gently without disturbing the blister if it hasn't fully healed yet. After using two of these in a row over the course of a week and a half, my blister was finally healed up enough that it stopped coming back." Promising review:"I got a big heel blister while breaking in some new work boots. It would have been painful to keep wearing the boots with a traditional Band-Aid. These Dr. Frederick's heel bandages work like magic. They are literally like a padded extra layer of skin. Put one on and you can't even feel the blister anymore. Could put the boots back on and go right back to work. And they fit so well, that towards the end of the healing period I forgot and even took a shower with it on and still stuck on fine. Like I say, like an layer of temporary skin." — Kevin Weatherman Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four varieties). 26. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if once the temp rises above 70 you feel like you start POURING sweat, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits before bed and it's made to work for up to seven days. As always, this is a clinical-strength product, so make sure you do a spot test first (especially if you have sensitive skin)! And each box lasts two months! Promising review:"For anyone who might be a skeptic, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be 9 degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life. I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks, and it is life-changing. I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat...I was sweating through my shirt on my NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a roll-on). 27. A portable handheld fan that's also a power bank *and* flashlight. So you'll be sure to find all sorts of uses for it. I have one and use it year-round whenever I find myself sweating or on the verge of sweating. Check out a TikTok of the portable fan in action. Promising review:"This fan works so well, keeps me cool when I'm on the beach or sitting outside in the sun. The battery life is amazing but it takes a while to charge up." — Amanda Clerk Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four colors). 28. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense can stop chafing caused by sweat before it even starts. It's sooo good and better than any other competitor in the thigh-saving category. But really. I have thick thighs and swear by it! Make the transition from winter tights to bare spring legs MUCH easier with this. Amazon My former colleague Ciera Velarde is a huge fan! Here's what she has to say: "I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!" Promising review:"Whoooo sometimes I feel as if a fire is going to start between my fat thighs, but with this stuff they just glide right on by each other, it has been a summer lifesaver. Only thing is you have to pack it on and reapply maybe four hours in, so bring it along for the ride. I will be buying again." — Ash Get it from Amazon for $6. 29. Lumify Eye Drops beloved by the masses who've tried other redness-reducing eye drops before. Yes, these are a bit pricier than other versions. But reviewers say it's totally worth it! Oh, and don't forget that it's also made to help relieve dry eyes. Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard "To drops in your eyes and all day, they look perfectly white and healthy. I would definitely buy these again." — Kelley Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 30. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your home *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal. I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well. Get the starter pack from Amazon for $12.16. 31. A SnapPower GuideLight will optimize your regular old outlets instead of a night-light that you have to plug into an outlet that you always have to unplug the coffee grinder or do other tasks. Amazon SnapPower is a small biz that specializes in unique and innovative lighting products. Promising review: "I ordered this after seeing it on TikTok. I'm very happy with this product!" — Miss. Harris "Game changer. When I get up, I don't want to wake everyone up with flipping on lights and all. These provide plenty of walking through the house light. Super easy installation, too." — Monica Martinez Get it from Amazon for $22.98 (available in three outlet styles and four colors). 32. A slim cutlery organizer here to prove that, yes! You do have room for all your cutlery in your tiny kitchen drawer! Scoot over, forks. (Yeah yeah yeah, your drawers are *hidden* but they still make such a huge different in your kitchen!) Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed I have VERY narrow kitchen drawers in my NYC one-bedroom apartment kitchen and buying one of these organizers has transformed my cutlery drawer. I'm able to safely reach in and grab whatever I need (like a manual can opener for tuna salad or a mini whisk for a hot chocolate) without having to sift tools around. Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 33. A set of adjustable mug organizers that'll help you better use your kitchen cabinet space *and* also keep your mugs safer since they fit on top of a mug, creating a setup where you can safely stack a second mug on top instead of googling replacements. Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home. Promising review: "I use these to organize my coffee mugs and my glasses in smaller cabinets. They not only look nicer, they save space without tilting when you try to stack mugs without support. I also use these to stack ramekins and that is also better now. These are adjustable to fit different sizes. I highly recommend these organizers!" — Amazon Customer Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 34. A CZ tennis bracelet with tons of reviewers who say it can pass as actual diamonds. Listen, you want a glamorous stack but you don't have to choose between that and a long weekend at a beach resort. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a big fan of this brand! Here is what she has to say about their pieces: " For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my 'daily wear' jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it. Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's lin e of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!" Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, in yellow, rose, or white gold, and in packs of two). 35. Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it " Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) Amazon You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Check out a TikTok of the Oxo Rapid Brewer in action. Promising review: "I'm in love with various forms of coffee preparation and I've tried all forms of equipment to make them at home. If asked what I prefer for a quick cappuccino, that's easy. This Oxo Rapid Brewer. I've played with my Aeropress for over two decades, including all the necessary add-ons and doo-dads to get close to what this machine does on the first attempt. Get comfortable with a bag of fresh beans, a quality burr grinder, and friends. Do rounds of blind taste tests. I think you'll agree." — Cynthia Get it from Amazon for $33.93. 36. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate & Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment. Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" — Katie B Get them from Amazon for $28.98 (also available in a set of two). 37. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses your nemesis will mistake for the $400+ Miu Miu ones, which is fine. Let 'em think that and put that extra cash toward whatever else you want. Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They're lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I've received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" — Arsalan sheikh Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five styles and two packs). 38. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid. (It's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation.) Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Check out a TikTok of the Briotech spray in action. Promising review: "This spray is amazing. I had a rash on my face and it disappeared after one use of this spray. I had a stye in my eye and the skin around the eye was irritated. This spray fixed not only the irritation but the stye went away as well. Any sort of blemish or acne is taken care of with this simple inexpensive spray. Great for after-sun care or workout redness. Everyone loves Tower 28's expensive SOS spray. The SOS spray contains hypochlorous acid, which is the exact same ingredient in the Briotech spray for much less money. It's a miracle worker." — Squid466 Get it from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in four sizes and in multipacks). 39. An earwax removal kit anyone who seems to get built up goo quite a bit will appreciate. Or anyone who watches earwax removal videos when they can't sleep. ::raises hand:: Promising review:"Many years ago, I had a pretty severe wax impaction issue. Went to the doctor and got my ear flushed. They recommended this to continue to deal with excess wax. So satisfying to see the wax flush out after using this. These days, my eczema and dry skin had re-surfaced in my ears. So, now I use it to deal with the dry flaky skin in my ears. Put some drops in, let it fizz and bubble, and flush them out. The flakes come out easily — much better than the maddening itchy ears." — Kim Get it from Amazon for $7.98. 40. A rectangular lazy Susan made to hold more than the traditional round ones. Here's to grabbing the oat milk from the back of the fridge without having to remove everything from the shelf that just so happens to be in front of said oat milk. Also, this'll help you use up salad dressings before they go bad! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the rectangular lazy Susan in action. Promising review: "This is perfect for short people with big refrigerators! I could never reach anything on the top shelf and had to grab a step stool, now everything fits perfectly on this and I can reach them all! It glides great and is very sturdy." — Tara Mann Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four pack sizes). 41. A pomade hair wax stick is a super easy-to-apply product that'll keep all your flyaways and frizzies controlled whenever you put your hair up into a ponytail or bun. Promising review:"Love it! Works great, doesn't look greasy. Leaves the hair looking sleek. I have naturally curly hair and straighten my hair some days." — Nicole Woods Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in different sizes and packs). 42. A bottle of dog spot repair if your puppy has a favorite pee spot and it shows... This stuff will get new grass growin' in no time so you can get back to hosting BBQs. Promising review: 'We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!' — Jessica N. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five sizes). 43. A pack of stain-removing, nontoxic cleaning cups to clean out your Keurig's innards once your coffee starts tasting a bit funny. Promising review:"Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a Keurig 2.0 and I had no issues." — Mads0421 Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95. 44. Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because sometimes you get sunburned even when you think you're being great about reapplying sunblock. Or maybe you just recruited your laziest friend to help you reapply on your back. Both are highly possible! It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS. Promising review:"Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt's Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don't feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I'm picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I've had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" — jlgentr3 Get it from Amazon or $13.33. 45. A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of springy light outerwear over it as needed. Amazon Promising reviews:"I finally bought this dress after seeing it all over TikTok and HOLY SMOKES. I cannot believe how universally [good it looks on people]. It's absolutely stunning!" — Catherine Thriveni "This dress is amazing! The fabric is so soft and silky but also has structure and because the sides are ruched, I can adjust it to the perfect length, which means a lot when you're only 5'1". The ruching allows me to control the amount of fabric gathered in the tummy and behind areas. To sum it all up, I LOVE the dress and plan on purchasing at least two more in the army green and the brown because this style dress can also be worn in the fall and spring months with a basic or colored denim jacket and a cute pair of boots or booties!" — Tonya Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors/styles). 46. Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to stave off frizz and give you a glass-like sheen thanks to its anti-humidity powers. Even in the nastiest of weather. AND it's formulated for its effects to last through several washes. (Something to which I can attest.) Promising review (for pic on the left):"LOVE this product sooooo much! I'm obsessed! I am of mixed race and have very curly frizzy hair naturally. Even with relaxer my hair has always had dry looking frizzy ends. I have tried so many different products but nothing else compares. Best by far!" — Amazon Customer Promising review (for pic on the right): "I NEEDED to try this product after all the positive hype. It certainly did live up to my expectations. I went from balayage to a medium brown color with my hair. The bottom part of my hair was still very porous from the bleaching. After blow drying my hair where the blonde was it was never smooth. Not anymore! My hair is so smooth and healthy looking. I absolutely love this product and I highly recommend it. It has completely transformed my hair." — Lori Get it from Amazon for $26.60 (sulfate-, gluten-, alcohol-, and paraben-free). 47. An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. This'll make for a VERY easy Saturday afternoon project because you pour it on and just let it SIT. Promising review:"Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well it broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there." — AmazonBob Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 48. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator to erase all the visual (and smelly) evidence of pet accidents on flooring and furniture. You don't need a new chair. You just need this. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and use to tell my wife, 'with all the science and technology in the world we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell and now after use we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $19.97. 49. A reusable roller dog hair remover might just have you toss your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your beloved couch that both you and your dog basically live on. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.95. 50. A compact eight-compartment pill organizer so you'll have space for all the stuff you take from all the delicious food that sometimes makes you feel bad on your travels. Promising review:"My husband and I travel a lot and take a number of prescription drugs. It was always a hassle accessing our medication when needed, so I purchased this organizer to make things easier. I used a label maker and labeled each little compartment and it has performed wonderfully. I highly recommend this organizer to anyone who travels and needs medications throughout the day." — Jacqueline Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.97. 51. A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupressure point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be great in case you get motion sick in a budget-friendlier plane, car, bus, or ferry ride. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Promising review:"These are amazing, as someone who has pretty severe motion sickness and carries Dramamine with me everywhere this is magnificent. I used these on an overnight cruise in Europe. The sea was particularly choppy that night and was miserable for me even with Dramamine and ginger. These did the trick! They were fairly tight on me (I am plus size) but the relief they gave me was immense." — Jena Freyermouth Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53 (available in adult and children's sizes). 52. A carpet cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot. Remember when your carpet was beige instead of greige? It's from a family-run business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets! Promising review:"After reading the reviews I thought I could at least try it, and holy smokes, this is a miracle cleaner!!! I think I have tried every cleaner on the market for pet stains and nothing ever really works on my carpets. Even if I get it off the top, it somehow comes back up. My crazy dogs hate the rain and they have one spot that they always go on when they decide they are not going outside. I have cleaned the spot probably 100 times. I cleaned this area one time with this cleaner and my spot steam cleaner and it is completely gone! The stain and smell are 100% gone, not just covered up like before, completely and absolutely gone. Miracle cleaner for sure!" — PLLane Get it from Amazon for $19.97. 53. A hands-free (rotating!) phone mount to help you watch what you want or take advantage of the movies available online for those budget airlines without TVs in the back of the seats. It'll work on the plane *or* while you wait to board. A three-hour flight without a seat TV should be illegal. Amazon Promising review: "I used it on a round trip. It is has a powerful and sturdy clip that will attach to almost anything. I didn't have to attempt to balance it on the food tray or strain my neck. It remained at eye level and never attempted to sway or fall. I'd buy it again. Also I'd consider it as a stocking stuffer for a frequent traveler. This is definitely a thumbs-up!" — Kara Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (available in two colors). 54. Plus an Airfly wireless transmitter that'll let you connect your AirPods or any wireless headphones to your airplane without Bluetooth! Amazon It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual. Twelve South is a small business that has been creating innovative tech accessories since 2009. Promising review:"Just returned from a European vacation and this little device worked like a charm! The sound cancellation worked really well on that horribly long 14-hour flight and I could hear the movie perfectly. Just buy it, it's a must have (until airlines convert their stuff to Bluetooth, don't hold your breath)." — Just a Muggle Mom Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three styles). 55. A pack of reusable produce-saving bags can finally be a solution to keep your fruits, veggies, and cut flowers fresh for much longer — which means you'll actually get to enjoy them before they go bad. Promising reviews:"We decided to do a little test. One banana in a bag and one out, same location in the kitchen. This was after nine days you can see that's there's a distinct difference in the bananas. Amazing product!" — Trio Mum Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 32 and 40-pack). 56. An exfoliating scrub mitt will help you part with excess dead skin and particles while you use it a couple of times a month (it's that good so you don't have to use it often!). Reviewers find it super helpful for removing self-tanner, addressing ingrown hairs, and increasing circulation. Promising review:"I have very thin and light body hair, so any form of removal (shaving, waxing, etc) usually leaves me with a lot of ingrown hairs. I've tried body scrubs and washcloths and neither really do a great job. I saw this product recommended by a dermatologist on TikTok and thought I'd try it — it's amazing! I also have very sensitive skin, and this mitt doesn't leave my skin irritated at all. However, absolutely do not use this mitt on your face, neck, or other sensitive areas, it would be way too harsh. I like to use this mitt first when I get in the shower, then use a body wash (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and follow up with body lotion for dry and sensitive skin. This whole routine is fragrance free and leaves my skin feeling very soft and moisturized." — Kat Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (also available in a set of two). 57. A MakeUp Eraser washcloth to easily take off a full face of makeup with mere water. Then if you flip it to the other side you can use it to exfoliate your skin! @ on Instagram / Check out BuzzFeed's review of the Makeup Eraser for more deets! Promising review:"I am amazed by this product. I would even say that this is life-altering! I have not had to buy makeup remover in three months and don't believe I will ever have to again! When I used makeup remover, I felt like I could never get all of my makeup off and I had to rub my eyes quite a bit to get it off. Even after a lot of rubbing when using makeup remover I still would wake up the next morning with makeup residue from the previous day and I never felt I could completely get my makeup off. With Makeup Eraser, there is not one bit of makeup left!! It is like magic!! Make sure you follow directions, you have to use warm water and use the correct side!" — Sprklbuz Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in nine colors).

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.

Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream your skin will be SO happy to soak up — this is formulated with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil to help hydrate, tighten, and gently exfoliate your skin so effectively that you should be able to see early results in two weeks. (For some reviewers, it only took a few days!) Promising review: "I am a lotion user every single day. I use face moisturizers that I love. I am over the moon by how good this is. I mainly use it on my neck, hands, and forearms. The difference is amazing. My skin actually feels so good. I wish I could but larger containers of it." — Kimberly P. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 2. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder to absorb oil and blur pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy ✨. Amazon, 3. A nail renewal formula so effective at restoring discolored, damaged nails that reviewers started seeing results in as little as *two days*. This not only helps tackle symptoms of fungal damage, but helps reduce the thickness and correct the ridges, so your toenails can get the sweet relief they deserve. Promising review: 'AMAZING!!! I followed the directions exactly and saw results within a week! My big toe has been in bad shape for about eight years. It is quickly changing the color of my toe nail back to normal, my nail is becoming thin again, and the curve in my nail is moving back to its normal position. I HIGHLY recommend this product! I can't wait to see the final result once I complete the process. Don't hesitate, JUST GET IT!!" — Mariaelena Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (also available with nail files). 4. A roll-up wide brim UPF 50 sun hat to protect your cheeks from the sun's rays *and* keep you looking effortlessly chic no matter how many days it's been since your last hair wash. This one is a real winner because of how absurdly packable it is, making it perfect for shoving into a tote bag on long days and a suitcase on vacation! Promising review: "This hat has been my go-to hat for summer and vacations. Looks super cute paired with a swimsuit or jeans and a tank. I have packed it in a suitcase multi times for travel and had no issues with it breaking or creasin g. [It comes in] many cute colors, but I love the the lighter cream with the black band." — ND Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three sizes and 21 colors). 5. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it fashion." Promising review: "If you're looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric Band-Aids because they're way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" — Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. 6. A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," another release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "Great, and I love that it has a tray to sit on. I love how firm this is to squeeze, and the slow release is really relaxing. The included dish is a great touch — it keeps it clean and gives it a dedicated spot to rest." — AZMOM Get it from Amazon for $7.28 (the color is either blue, pink, or purple and gets selected for you at random)! Check out the rest of the Needoh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront! 7. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $6.40 (available in two styles). 8. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes. Amazon I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart. Get it from Amazon for $18.75 (also available in pink honey!). 9. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." — IrishEyes Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three styles). 10. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 11. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product for your beauty arsenal that will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I put it on every night and morning. I've been using a little over a month and you can already tell a difference. My dark circles are hereditary, so I truly thought nothing would work. However this stuff IS GREAT!" — Shay M. Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 12. A set of retractable high-end ballpoint gel pens with such a satisfying, seamless glide that you'll finally find the motivation to write in that journal you keep promising yourself you'll keep up with. If you're a fellow stationery nerd, rest assured that this pen just pens, as a verb. Promising reviews: "I'm impressed with the quality of these pens. The 0.5mm fine point delivers a super smooth writing experience, and the ink dries quickly, leaving clean, neat lines. The barrel is also very comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. The retro colors are a stylish bonus. Highly recommend!" — Marie70 Get a set of five from Amazon for $7.19 (available in 10 styles and different pack sizes). 13. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. Promising review:"This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" — Mona L Cureton Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.26 (clip the 30% off coupon on the product page for this price). 14. An adjustable cervical cooling pillow designed to make your neck as comfy and pain-free as possible, using its unique contoured design to cradle your head and support your neck's natural curve. Honestly, the cooling fabric is just a bonus for this little overachiever. Promising review: "I love this pillow. I have been searching for a comfortable pillow for years. I am a side sleeper and have had neck and shoulder pain for over 10 years. I have been using this pillow for almost two weeks, and the pain is gone. It takes a few days to get used to, but after that, it is great. I have a Sleep Number bed that tracks sleep quality, and my sleep score has increased dramatically since using this pillow." — Bill Kobylarek Get it from Amazon for $35.98 (clip the 10% off coupon on the product page). 15. Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 70 Sunscreen designed specifically for people who get the "ick" from oily sunscreens but need all the sun protection they can get. This ultra sheer, quick absorbing formula leaves a matte finish that still packs a powerful sun-protective punch. And at this price point, this is the ultimate "everyday" sunscreen for face and body. Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "This sunscreen is well worth it. I used it all summer and never got burnt. It lasted tanning, swimming, and walking around outside every day. I would reapply it every hour or so to ensure coverage. I t is really lightweight and doesn't feel like a thick sunscreen. It had a nice, subtle smell that wasn't overpowering. I am happy I got so many bottles to last the summer, and the slim packaging was nice to take in a bag. I will be getting it again!" — Savannah Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in multipacks, SPF 100, and SPF 30 versions). 16. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 17. A cult-favorite cordless "on the go" razor that gives such a close, silky, deliciously smooth shave that reviewers swear by it for even their most ~sensitive~ areas. It even has a "wet" mode and a "dry" mode so you can use it during a shower or as a quick touch-up during the day, and is safe enough to use that multiple parents swear by it as a "first time" razor for preteens, too. This requires two AAA batteries, which are not included. Promising review:"I have used this Remington razor long enough now to say it is a great razor, and good for sensitive skin. I have found that it gives a good clean shave without leaving a sting on the ski n. No pulling, no dragging, cuts close for even the toughest hairs. Low noise and speed is great. Shave smoothness lasts longer than throw away razors." — Bertha Green Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 18.

I'm a 36D and I find this incredibly supportive for how cute it is. It's become my new go-to for my workouts. I bought it in sky blue and black as well. Now I want it in every color, lol. I wore it with jeans for date night and it was super cute as well. 10/10 recommend." — Brit's Favorite Finds Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 19. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs with other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying, and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry. Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. 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. 20.

Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! I t creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated.

The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It's a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" — Shay Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three scents). 21. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a frankly STARTLING TikTok of Lumify in action — they are not joking about how fast it works! Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard 22. The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls.

This is the perfect alternative to pricey paint jobs and replacing cookware! Check out a TikTok of the Sqeezy in action. Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand-new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99. 23.

Reviewers who use this consistently swear by it for thinning hairlines, sparse hair at their part, bald patches, and even their eyebrows! You can read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic — plus, according to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil comparable to Rogaine in helping with hair growth. Promising reviews: "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 fall. 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 this, hats off!!" — Dee Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 24. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder so effective that reviewers gleefully compare it to the $68 Dermalogica version.

Amazon Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. To use the powder, mix a teaspoon with a few drops of water until it foams, then massage in gentle circles on your face before rinsing. Promising review: "This is the best thing since sliced bread. I am on bottle number three. My face routine is forever changed. I pray they never raise their prices. This is akin to Dermoligica, but like half the price. Get it, don't hesitate." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $16. 25. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book). Check out a TikTok of Murdle in action. The best part?? Once you finish "Murdling," you can use your sleuthing skills on Volume 2, Volume 3, and a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books! Promising review: "The puzzles are a lot of fun but the characters, story lines, and other details take the Murdle experience to another level. I have no idea how the author came up with all of this creativeness! You can Murdle solo or with friends.

A hairbrush cleaning tool designed with a pointy end to easily rake hair out of your beloved brush in one go, plus bristles to get rid of all the build-up left behind. Now you just have to deal with that giant hairball when it tries to reincarnate as a Furby. Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes says about it:"I finally tried out this tool with my Crave Naturals brush, which I used for (*checks Amazon order history*) TWO YEARS without every doing a deep clean of it. I mean, sure, I would regularly pull out the loose hair and whatever I could get to using my fingers, but there was always this gross layer at the bottom I couldn't reach, and I kind of just tried my best to pretend it wasn't there. LET ME TELL YOU: This tool is genius. With barely any effort, it pulled out that gross, years-old layer of *stuff* at the bottom of my brush (the photo above shows that layer already ~dislodged~ by the tool, right before I pulled it out), and now I don't have to feel disgusting every time I run it through my hair. It actually feels like it's doing a better job of *brushing* now too! Seriously, if you are a human with brushable hair on your head, you need this." Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 27. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 28. A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It's a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I'm done. Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.70. 29. Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion to give you a gradually-building, vacation-worthy ~sunkissed glow~ over the course of just a few days. Not only is this easy peasy to apply compared to other finickier, streaking lotions, but it's formulated with collagen and elastin to help your skin appear firmer *and* glowier. Promising review:"I'm really impressed with this product. It's very easy to apply, the same way you would any lotion. It absorbs quickly into the skin. There is a very light, pleasant, fragrance. I had no issues with application or streaks. The tanning lotion gives a nice bronze appearance to the skin which is what I was looking for. The sunless tanner allows you to continue to build the color until you reach your desired look." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.47 (available in Fair to Medium, Medium to Deep, and several sizes). 30. A pair of high-waisted running shorts with a comfy scrunch-elastic waistband reviewers compare to the Lululemon version. These are lightweight, quick-dry, and come in so many adorable colors that your butt might just want them on rotation until laundry day. Amazon, Promising review: "These shorts are seriously the most comfortable ones I own. They're super airy, don't ride up, and the thick waistband doesn't roll over — huge win! The built-in undies are actually comfortable (for once!) and not at all annoying. I also love the deep pocket with a zipper — perfect for holding keys or cards without worrying about anything falling out. Definitely grabbing more in other colors!" — Nicole G. Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 34 colors). 31. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for anyone who has had their fill of acne stickers and wants a more effective solution for overnight zit care.

PSA: Do not shake the bottle before use! Promising review:"I rarely ever get pimples, but every once in a while, when I do, they seem to last forever. A coworker of mine suggested I try this. I am SO happy I did. I had one very large pimple and two tiny ones — when I used this, they were all gone by the time I woke up. It does have a semi-potent smell, but it goes away after applying. I have never used a product like this before. I am so pleased to have this. I have very sensitive and dry skin, and this did not irritate my skin at all. I find it fun to put on. Would definitely buy again in the future." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in glass or plastic bottle, and in packs with drying patches). 32. A jewelry-cleaning stick with cleansing solution on a brush designed specifically to get in the nooks and crannies of your jewelry, so you can dig out all the grime that's accumulated over the years on the cheap instead of taking it to the jeweler. 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, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. 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 Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $9.48. 33. A wildly popular floral print sheer cover up for the perfect finishing touch to all your spring and summer outfits that won't make you swelter in the heat. Reviewers especially love how easily this packs (and photographs!!) for travel. Promising review:"It's lovely. They call it a cover-up, but I wore it with dress pants and a white shell top. I received several compliments. I have purchased a few more in different colors. Nice and long. Comfortable. Seems durable so far. Don't wear it for warmth though, — it might protect from sun or a slight breeze, but it is more for looks than warmth." — MAC Get it from Amazon for $14.59+ (available in women's sizes S–5X and 48 styles). 34. A USB-rechargeable portable water flosser that gets the job done just as effectively without having to lug a planet-size device in your bag. A lot of reviewers love the small profile of this gizmo so much they use it as an everyday one at home, too! Promising review: "Great travel product. It is exactly what I was looking for.

Psst — if you want to use a squeegee, check out this reviewer-beloved squeegee on Amazon! Promising review:"This is by far the best glass cleaner I have used. Wonder has no chance against this spray.

Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry.

Febu is a small business that specializes in earth-friendly, non-toxic home products. Promising review: "I love these! I have used these for years instead of a sponge or a dishrag.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these salad containers. These containers fit a ton of salad greens and all sizes of toppings — nuts, beans, cheese, fruits, meats, pasta, etc. They make packing lunch easy. Just throw in some greens, a protein, a dressing, and toppings that make salad fun for you! We use ours several times per week, and they make it to both our jobs without spilling or leaking.

Several of my friends and coworkers have bought them after seeing mine!" — Heathiedoodle Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight colors). 41.

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 (also available in a set of 16). 43. Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs.

This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!!

I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 13. And L'Oreal Paris Makeup Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara in a new brown shade so you can have all the *vavoom* of thick, full lashes with that romantic ~softness~ of the more muted shade. Similar to the iconic black shade that made it famous, this mascara doesn't smudge, clump, or flake for alllll day wear, and washes easily to be extra gentle on lashes. Amazon Promising review: "I have been searching for a brown mascara, and this is it! It's the best mascara I have used in a long time. Goes on easily without clumping. Lifts and separates my lashes. I'm so happy with it! I set up a subscribe and save so I don't run out!" — jeanielemo "I bought the latte brown and really like the look of it. Black mascara looks costume-ish on me. This color has a softer, more natural look on me. Thought it was worth a go and am not disappointed." — Garden Girl Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in three other shades of black). 14. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. Check out a frankly STARTLING TikTok of Lumify in action — they are not joking about how fast it works! Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard Get it from Amazon for $11.93. 15. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser you may just give "holy grail" status if you've got sensitive skin — this gentle but effective blend of niacinamide, ceramides, and prebiotic thermal water is designed to remove excess oil and cleanse pores while still preventing dryness and protecting your skin barrier. Promising review: "I have sensitive skin, so finding a cleanser that works without irritating my skin can be tricky. This foaming cleanser was both gentle and effective. It left my skin feeling clean and refreshed without causing any discomfort, and it wasn't too drying. I'm really happy with the results and will definitely continue using it!" — PkH4207 Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 16. Maybelline Super Stay Teddy Lip Tint gives you an oh-so-pillowy matte pout that refuses! to! quit! no matter what you throw at it during the day. Reviewers mention that this is a great "everyday" matte, giving a velvety, well-pigmented look without being too dramatic. Promising review: "I have been on a hunt for The Lipstick for my 20 plus years of wearing makeup. Regular lipstick comes off in minutes because I'm chugging water all day. Matte long stay just settles into every lip crack and looks terrible. This is the first and only long-stay lipstick that doesn't settle into cracks and dry down. I think because it's a slightly thicker consistency — not quite glossy, more like a thick balm so it glides over lip cracks. I have just about every color — I'm really hoping they come out with a rusty red." — Kate Lynch Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in ten shades). 17. A bottle of callus-removing gel so effective at sloughing off dead, hardened skin that one reviewer described it as, " Horrifically satisfying." It's also super easy — you presoak your feet, apply for five minutes, and rub a pumice stone or foot file on the calluses and corns to watch them effortlessly slide off. You can grab a pumice stone or foot file on Amazon! 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 $8.99 (also available in an extra strength version). 18. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding when that cold weather dryness is coming for your 'do. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review:"I have been buying this for a long time for me and my daughter. I have thin, curly hair but it gets dry in the winter and this really brings it back to life. My daughter has THICK and super curly hair and it keeps her hair so hydrated (we use it as a mask every two weeks on her). Highly recommend." — Marina M. Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. 19. Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails. Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. Check out a TikTok of the nail veil in action. Promising review: "This nail veil is so pretty and perfect for a simple, bare nail look! It applies very smoothly, and one to two coats work well. With a top coat, it lasts almost perfectly for about five days, but chips are not very noticeable, so you can easily wear it for longer! I also feel confident in this brand's use of healthier, higher-quality ingredients, which makes it well worth the extra cost. My nails aren't left damaged by this product, and it has become my go-to when I don't have the time for a full-color look but still want my nails to look polished and pretty!" — Sofia K Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in nine shades). 20. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT. Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." — Smickens Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 12 shades). 21.

I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I've tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker Get it from Amazon for $12.59 (available brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles). 23. A multipurpose blush stick reviewers compare to the $18 Pixi Beauty version — this version may be cheaper, but it's also easily buildable, blendable, and perfect for that light, dewy, "kissed by a happy pink cloud" look. Promising review: "I bought this and my daughter immediately tried to steal it because she thought it was the real thing. Ha! This is so easy to use and a little goes a long way. This will last for a while. And was a fraction of the price of the brand name." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three shades). 24. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. Promising review: "I'd yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There's no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It's super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn't settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don't need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." — Julie F. Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in six styles). 25. Sol De Janeiro's Delicia Drench Body Butter your skin's moisture barrier will drink up like a happy little fish, and leave you with a soft, smooth, fully-absorbed finish that lasts all day. If you haven't already tried Cheirosa 59 body mist, the cult-fave blend of vanilla orchid, sugared violet, and sandalwood this body butter is based on, you are in for one luxurious treat! Promising review: "This is incredible! This body butter is so thick and rich that it provides lasting hydration all day long. It absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy and leaves my skin super soft and nourished. The scent is heavenly and lingers just enough without being overpowering. I love how it creates a protective barrier on my skin, making it perfect for dry or colder weather. If you're looking for a deeply moisturizing body butter that truly lasts, this one is a must-try!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes). 26. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. Promising review:"This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" — Mona L Cureton Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 27. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder so effective that reviewers gleefully compare it to the $68 Dermalogica version. This gentle, foaming powder is formulated with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts, and should be used three to four times weekly to help gently break down dead skin cells for a brighter, more refreshed flow. Amazon Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products.

I am on bottle number three. My face routine is forever changed. I pray they never raise their prices. This is akin to Dermoligica, but like half the price. Get it, don't hesitate." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $16. 28. Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity. Amazon, Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I was really glad to see it on Amazon because I saw it on TikTok. I didn't have to wait for it and pay less. Can't go wrong with that. It is very moisturizing and easy to apply. Just a very thin layer. I went to bed, peeled it off the next morning, and my skin was super glowy. I love it." — Ramona L. Corona Get it from Amazon for $18.90. 29. Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Milky Leave-In Conditioner not only defrizzes your hair, softens it, and protects it from heat, but to leaves you smelling like the oh -so-scrumptious, wildly-beloved Cheirosa 62 "sunshine" fragrance — you know, that pistachio, jasmine, and vanilla scent that has the OG Bum Bum Cream and Hair & Body Mists constantly on the verge of selling out. Reviewers also use this as an easy detangler both for themselves and for their kiddos! Check out a TikTok of Sol de Janeiro leave-in conditioner in action. Promising review: "Perfect hair day every day! This spray is both beautiful and fragrant! It leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed, while the scent is absolutely delightful. A must-have for anyone looking to add shine and a lovely fragrance to their hair routine!" — charlotte Get it from Amazon for $28. 30. An "Exfoliate & Glow" premium scrub mitt for sloughing off all the dead skin from winter (one reviewer saw all the dead skin left in their shower floor and dubbed themselves a " Lizard Person" after shedding it). This is great for helping even out skin texture and tone, preventing ingrown hairs, calming keratosis pilaris, and removing self-tanner, too! Seraphic Skincare is a small business that specializes in brushes, razors, and other personal care products. Head's up that you should start very gently, and that you really only need to use it two to four times a month to get good results without over-exfoliating and compromising your skin barrier. Promising review:"Not to be gross but when I lightly use this on my dry skin I can see the dry skin cells flying off! Great for cellular turnover. I use on dry skin before showering and finish after shower with good moisturizing oil. Makes my legs feel soft and smooth. Don't run too hard! Gentle strokes." — Juliet "Color me converted. It's so disgusting that you want to look away, but morbid curiosity keeps making you turn back. That's really a 'you' creature in the bottom of the tub. You really sloughed off a second skin like a Lizard Person and have now emerged a new person. One that will no longer trust brand-name products because they are a lie. Seriously. Buy this. You don't even know you need it, but you do. You really, really do." — Mandi Konesni Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a set of two). 31. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration!

The internet-famous Revlon oil-absorbing volcanic face roller that swipes over your face like a magic wand to make excess oil disappear — super convenient and *way* less wasteful than using blotting strips and time wasting than fancy powders that need a ton of blending work. Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited.
