This smells like vanilla and caramel, which means it's basically a latte for your skin. Delicious. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream — whether you've noticed your neck skin practically hanging on for dear life thanks to that darn gravitational pull or find your décolletage creased in the center from side sleeping, the glycerin and aloe in this formula can give that delicate skin some much-needed hydration, while the salicylic acid can gently exfoliate dead skin cells. Reviewers say patience is worth it with this one, so give your body time to soak it all in and enjoy those results! Cerave eye repair cream, which is cooked up with their famous blend of ceramides (a skincare "secret sauce" if you will) and a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin.

A paraben-free self-tanner with a mousse texture so you can apply the product evenly (unlike thicker lotions that leave distinct lines behind). Use this if you'd rather not look like you spent all winter hibernating in a cave. A retinol body lotion — sure, retinol is great for your face, but there's a whole *body* of skin it can help out! This particularly dreamy, creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover using retinol, while the ferulic acid firms skin to promote natural skin tightening. Lumify Eye Drops, because having irritated red eyes is one of those frustrating conditions that is always awkward to explain away. No, I wasn't crying. My eyes are that. This redness-reducing eye drop uses brimonidine tartrate to whiten your eyes for up to eight hours. (And the review photos are suuuper satisfying — with over 27,000 reviewers shouting "5 stars!") A 4-in-1 makeup pencil (Live Tinted's Huestick Corrector) for your eyes, lips, and cheeks. First, use this before applying foundation to neutralize dark circles. Once that foundation is on you can reapply this as a buildable lip color, eyeshadow, or blush. I love LOVE a makeup product that does it all. The Face Shop's facial foaming cleanser formulated with rice water to help brighten, cleanse, moisturize, and remove your makeup all at once. If you like the idea of having *one* skincare product that does it belongs in your bathroom.

This includes a sponge for applying the powder — just rub it directly onto your hair. I learned about this product when looking for solutions for postpartum hair loss and was awed that this had over 18,000 5-star reviews. Sold. A Denman Hair Brush designed with bristles specifically spaced to detangle and shape curls that may otherwise feel frazzled and look undefined. Hit the snooze button and save time in the mornings with this brush by your side.

I feel soothed just thinking about it. Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment to help you embrace color theory with confidence. Take it from someone with skin the color of printer paper — nothing helps reduce redness better than a touch of green! This lightly tinted cream is designed to combat that blotchy redness while protecting your skin from the sun with a useful daily SPF 50. A Revlon volcanic stone face roller that'll absorb excess oil on your face as you swipe it away *without* ruining your makeup. Now that this exists, there's no better product to have in your bag when the summer sun brings back your extra oily skin. Oil blotting sheets WISH they were this sexy. Keep your makeup looking great all day with this OG TikTok beauty sensation. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener (made with a *chef's kiss* mix of hydraulic acid and shea butter) which became a knockout success once reviewers started raving en mass about the product's instant invisible coverage. If you're looking for quick and easy results that suggest you don't even require come to the right brightener. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil with the most impressive review photos I've seen in my little life! Reviewers swear up and down over how well this erases blackheads and sebaceous filaments.

The mix of aloe, collagen, and vitamin E is a true treat for sun-damaged, dry, and aging skin. Whether you throw these on before bed and let your skin soak up that silky goodness for a full eight hours or simply have an hour to spare in the a.m. — these are designed for great results on your schedule. An E.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush — a blendable and buildable blush (say that five times fast) with a lightweight formula and a powerful pigment. If you've worked hard on your glass skin technique, finish off your routine with a blush that's dewy and glossy to stay looking as smooth as glass. A brilliant biotin shampoo (with over 34,000 5-star reviews!!) so you can enjoy the feeling of fuller hair and a nourished scalp. This is sulfate-free and won't give your hair greasy, heavy buildup *but* the biotin can strengthen your strands. The one-two punch of this particular shampoo comes from the added rosemary and coconut oil — which both stimulate and moisturize the scalp aiding in overall hair health. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel that'll be beloved by people who drink up yerba mate like it's water from the actual fountain of youth. And that's not the only powerful ingredient this gel has to offer! It also boasts three unique forms of hyaluronic acid to moisturize and revitalize the skin under your eyes. There are no dark circles here, my dear! An eye primer with an easy-as-pie application process, just use your ring finger to apply a pea-sized amount of the product onto clean, dry eyelids. After 30 seconds, it should be dry and ready for your makeup! This stuff is heaven-sent for anyone who spends way too much time on their smokey eye to have it sweat off the minute they hit the dance floor. Maybelline's Fit Me Matte foundation — this liquid, oil-free foundation is sure to satisfy folks with oily skin as it covers pores and creates a smooth base *without* irritating your skin.

A vegan ingrown hair oil sure to save the day (and your bikini line) if shaving on sensitive parts of your body leads to inflammation and breakouts that are more bothersome than the hair was. Not only does it address that inflammation, but the spiffy mix of jojoba and grapeseed oil moisturizes and softens your skin to keep it nourished. Swimsuit season, here we come! Speaking of breakouts, Butt Acne Treatment Cream is gonna be a great addition to the (rear) end of your beauty routine. This is designed for all skin types with a clean tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts, get rid of bacteria, and clear up folliculitis. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment which, like Olaplex, has repairing properties like collagen and protein extracts to aid in hair health.

Bio-Collagen's Real Deep sheet mask so you can treat yourself to a rejuvenating facial while you sleep.

Get yourself a nail polish that nourishes! Plus, If you like a clean, uniform look, you're sure to love the sheer hint of pink color this has. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter for achieving the same dewy no makeup-makeup effect of Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter (but at a price that doesn't make you sweat). This also has a healthy dose of hydrating hyaluronic acid your skin is gonna be glad to drink in every day. And E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara so you can finally have the thick, full lashes you've dreamed of, even if your flimsy natural lashes hardly hold up standard mascaras. This uses a unique "tubing" formula that boasts being smudge-free. And if you have fragile lashes? This can easily wipe clean! It's also available in *brown* which is a huge deal for folks with warm hair colors and blonde lashes, as it doesn't clash with your natural coloring (speaking for my own red-headed self here). A RobeCurls heatless hair curler — this satin-covered rod is designed to curl your hair while you sleep, and it's damage-free! Skip the heat tools and just wrap damp hair around the plush curler at night. Then FALL ASLEEP, and it'll do the rest. Wake up, pull this outta your hair, and enjoy your blowout-worthy bouncy curls.

When is it gonna be YOUR turn to scoop the ice cream cones?! It looks so fun! A bag of citrusy Liquid I.V. Hydration packets, with three times the electrolytes of a typical sports drink, great for packing on long hikes, recovering after a run, and keeping close during long days strolling in the sun. Honestly, you may just wanna keep these in your bag 24/7. An oscillating tower fan that has six speeds (we're talkin' up to 24 feet per second velocity), three modes, and a surprisingly quiet design despite its power. One reviewer nicknamed this "THE GLACIER" and gushed about it being "better than your air conditioner."

Get a free Sol de Janeiro tote bag with exclusive Space NK bundle worth over £45
This £45 Sol de Janeiro gift set comes with cult-fave minis and a beach-ready tote you'll use all summer, thanks to an exclusive bundle from Space NK Nothing screams summer more than a Sol de Janeiro body mist and Bum Bum cream, and now with an exclusive Space NK gift set, you can grab both of these items, plus a mini body oil and canvas tote bag. The set in question is the Sol de Janeiro The Sol Tote + Body Essentials, priced at £45. And what's included is: 1x Canvas Mini Bag, 1x Brazilian Bum Bum Cream 50ml, 1x Firmeza Body Oil 12ml, 1x Cheirosa 62 Perfume Mist 90ml. The price alone of the Cheirosa Mist and Bum Bum cream would equal to just under £45, so you're essentially getting the minitarure tote bag (which is adorable by the way) plus a miniature body oil for no extra cost. And it's not the only bargain bundle we've spotted this week. Murad's Retinol Heroes Set, usually £142, is now available for £63.90 for a limited time in a LookFantastic offer. While Next's limited-edition Father's Day Beauty Box, worth £88, is packed with premium self-care essentials from brands like Percy & Reed, Rituals, Aromatherapy Associates and more for £22. So what exactly is the scent of the body mist in Sol de Janeiro's set? It's number 62, a rich and sweet blend of pistachio, jasmine, and salted caramel, which the brand says is supposed to transport you to a hot, sunny day on the glorious coast of Rio. The cult-favourite Bum Bum Cream ('boom boom' in Brazil!) is also included in this summer set. Packed with guaraná, cupuaçu butter, coconut and açaí oils, it hydrates deeply while helping skin feel firmer and super soft. And like the Cheirosa mist, the scent is a dreamy mix of pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla. It's literally a holiday in a tub. Plus if you're a new customer to Space NK, you can actually nab this summer-ready set for £36 by using the code FIRST20 at checkout for 20% off your order. And don't worry if you're a returning customer. Space NK is offering a free full-size Sol De Janeiro Rio Radiance SPF 50 Body Lotion or Body Oil if you spend £50 or more on Sol De Janeiro products.

I Won't Tell If You Won't: 33 Affordable Alternatives To Trendy Products
Mrs. Meyer's Tomato Vine hand soap if you long for the Loewe Tomato Leaves liquid soap but refuse to spend $85 on something that literally goes down the drain. This soap is made with aloe vera, glycerin, and olive oil, so your hands will feel fancy either way. Silicone snack bags that are just as thick and easy to seal as Stashers, but at a price that won't scare you back to using disposable ones. These are microwave-, oven-, dishwasher-, and freezer safe, so you can throw them through the kitchen gauntlet without worry. Store leftovers, travel with snacks, get your makeup through airport security, or even poach food in them — the world's your oyster! Le Monde Gourmand Pistachio Brûlée Eau de Parfum for anyone who was excited to hear about D.S. & Durga's Pistachio scent but was immediately turned off by the price. You can capture that warm, nutty, sweet smell for the price of two ice cream sundaes. Or a hydrating body butter with an entralling pistachio fragrance that infatuated reviewers have likened to Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream or Laura Mercier's Creme de Pistache Eau Gourmande. With the help of vitamin E, the whipped moisturizer aims to leave you feeling like a decadent, Michelin-approved dessert for a Costco sheet cake price. A set of wrist and ankle weights to add some resistance to your workout or brisk walk around the neighborhood. They're arguably just as cute as Bala Bangles, but without the eye-watering price tag. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better. And a long-sleeve bodysuit offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims version. The fashion line is called Smoke Cloud because the fabric can stretch to twice its size and mold to your curves. Reviewers say it even washes well! Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes just as well as the $33 Becca version. The lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed to blend seamlessly — check the drastic difference in the review photo! A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle reviewers love for its intoxicating and long-lasting smell (think: Le Labo's Santal 33). It has an impressive throw, meaning you can actually fill your home with its calming jasmine, oud, and sandalwood scent instead of having to stick your nose right up to the flame. A colorful pan from BuzzFeed's Goodful line you can use to pan fry, sauté, sear, boil, simmer, blanche, braise, poach, deep fry, get it. On top of being dishwasher safe and nonstick, it's also quite the looker. Perhaps even cuter than the Always Pan? A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash offering an affordable solution to your dependence on that beloved (but pricey) fragrance. Thanks to the notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber, shower time has never smelled better. A Simple Modern tumbler with double-wall insulation that reviewers say can keep drinks cold up to 24 hours. On top of Jack Bauer-level protection, the stainless steel mug comes in a ton of cute colors and prints like dreamy clouds and springtime flowers. Not too shabby if you don't care about brand names! A viral "Soft" perfume rollerball for anyone who wants people to think of them and think "yum." Reviewers compare this ~$5 fragrance to caramel, lemon cupcakes, warm vanilla scones, cotton candy, and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar! MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which reviewers have been relieved to find, because it's just like Dior's discontinued Airflash. To experience the magic that has 17,000+ people raving, apply the foundation to the included brush and glide it over your skin. Your face will look so smooth and radiant that people will wonder if you figured out how to use Photoshop on your face in real life. A classic bubbly paperclip chain that could easily be mistaken for a Tiffany HardWear necklace. The 14-karat gold-plated piece is so convincing, your friends might start expecting you to pick up the check at dinner. An Overmont cast-iron Dutch oven if you love the charm and function of Le Creuset, but not the price. This durable pot can still provide for all your stewing, boiling, roasting, and frying needs: It's oven safe up to 500 degrees F, cooks evenly, and cleans up like a dream. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say works as a very good, affordable replacement for Clinique's "Black Honey," the $25 "universal shade" that has a Shakira-level of fame and adoration. This $7 alternative is nonsticky, moisturizes with vitamin E, and melts onto your lips like buttah. Also from E.l.f., their Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. Tartelette Tubing Mascara is shaking in its boots right now. Polarized sunglasses for people who know they can't be trusted with high-end pairs. These look a lot like Ray-Bans *and* they come in a three-pack, so losing a pair at the park won't be a world-ending event. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks offering a Laneige-like experience for just a fraction of the price. The berry extract and vitamin C work to moisturize lips as you go to bed, proving that beauty sleep is a real thing. Breathable, pointed-toe flats similar to classic Rothy's with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dingy, just toss 'em in the wash. A trendy bamboo-style frame you might have thought came from Framebridge or Aerin, but nope! Amazon. This affordable frame will help you score beach house or tiki vibes even if you're in a 1BR in a landlocked state. A midi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal. A baroque-inspired mirror for anyone who has been eyeing the gorgeous Anthropologie mirrors but can't quite rationalize the hefty price tag. This piece of decor is pretty similar and comes at a fraction of the cost. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable but also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best. Maybelline's Cheek Heat gel-cream blush perfect for fans of Glossier Cloud Paint's results — just not the price. Like its pricier cousin, the buildable formula can be lightly tapped onto your cheeks so you can look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in seconds. An 18-karat gold-plated cherry keychain because dropping almost $100 on the one from Coach is honestly kind of ridiculous. Reviewers say this one is almost identical! A super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too. And high-waisted leggings that have also been compared to Lululemon A LOT, like over-600-reviewers lot. They're buttery soft, pass the squat test, and have the perfect stretch-to-hug ratio. Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion with a heavenly caramel-vanilla smell that could compete with anything from Bath and Body Works or Philosophy. The fast-absorbing shea butter and oil offer a lovely amount of moisture, so you can feel like a freshly baked cake as you walk out the door. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings not unlike the popular Bottega Veneta ones, but for a fraction of the price. They're lightweight and gold-plated, meaning that even those with sensitive ears can enjoy them. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones just as cute and functional as AirPods Max, but at a price point so low, it'll seem like a clerical error. Despite the tiny price tag, they still boast cushion padding, a built-in mic, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and noise-cancelling capability. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses so similar to Miu Miu, you could possibly trick friends into thinking you splurged on a $489 pair. Just be sure to correct them before they expect you to pay for lunch.

A handy as heck Burt's Bees sunburn soother you'll want to stock up on if you're a "just in case" kinda human — it's made with aloe and coconut oil to hydrate skin and gently relieve pain from the sun's unforgiving rays within just a few hours. 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. A four-pack of silicone straw soda can lids that are like, "Oh, you're obsessed with Diet Coke? Let me find you a reason to be even MORE obsessed." Reviewers love these not just for the ~thrill~ of a straw, but because the covers make the cans a whole lot more spill-proof, prevent your drink from going flat, and protect your can from bugs and debris during outdoor hangs. Olay's Firming Body Lotion full of collagen peptides and a Vitamin B3 complex for *ultra* hydration designed to visibly plump, firm, and moisturize your skin — all at a fraction of the price of other firming lotions, like the internet's beloved $48 Elasti-Cream. A set of limited edition Band-Aids with retro flower patterns so the next time you get a little ouch, you can be like, "wound care, but make it summer-y."

E.l.f.'s Squeeze Me More Lip Balm Duo with some real "Laneige, but make it cheap" energy. This mango and watermelon duo is actually the oh-so-tropical remix of the brand's wildly beloved Squeeze Me More Lip Balm that came out last year, so reviewers are already obsessed with how lightweight, hydrating, and deeelicious these go-to balms are. 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! Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in shave oil form, just in time for potential spring shaving shenanigans. Reviewers are notably impressed by how close of a shave they can get with this, particularly in sensitive areas, helping spare you from razor burn and ingrown hairs. A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses for anyone who needs to stock up on a few "these look like Ray-Bans, but I won't cry into my Baja Blast if I accidentally leave them in the Taco Bell parking lot" pairs this year. These are especially handy because you can match the subtle prints to whatever 'fit you're wearing! A travel-friendly SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar, a K-beauty staple with a curved balm stick style that makes it super easy to apply, and a nonsticky, white cast–free formula that plays ABSURDLY well with makeup. If you're looking for a lightweight "soft matte" sunscreen to protect your skin, this is your new BFF.

This body oil will not only protect you from the sun's rays, but has a subtle, delightful shimmer ✨ . A pair of reusable silicone Nippies, a cult-fave ~invisible~ nipple cover that reviewers love for its seamless fit and the way it stays put even on the sweatiest of human days without budging. Fun tops and dresses with funky straps have officially entered the group chat!! Reef Water platform sandals, aka the ultimate in cute, comfortable, and water-friendly sandals that will be the "go-to" shoe of your summer. These don't have a break-in period, can be dressed up or down, and have a cheeky little platform to them so you can cosplay as someone an inch taller than you usually are. Reviewers ESPECIALLY love these for traveling because of how versatile they are! A set of waterproof "wet bags" you will curse yourself for not buying YEARS AGO, because they are tiny little lifesavers when you're on the move. Reviewers use these to cart wet suits and towels from the beach and pool, sweaty clothes from the gym, and soiled clothes and burp cloths in diaper bags. It even has a little snap closure if you want to hook it to a stroller or bag (and the color combos are TOO CUTE). A truly miraculous sand-free beach blanket that repels sand and dirt so easily that you'll wonder if someone cast a spell on it. Parents especially love this because babies and toddlers can lay on it without getting sand in their mouths, and it's ridiculously easy to repack without worrying about taking half the sand in the beach from with you. Oh, and it's also GINORMOUS. (And packs up super small!) And a reusable, family-friendly sand eraser to *instantly* remove sand from your skin with a quick swipe so you don't accidentally turn your unsuspecting car interiors into "Beach, Part Two." A delightfully affordable battery-operated patio umbrella light you can easily install without any tools, so you don't have to do wine and cheese in the darkness if the sun sets before your appetite does. Wild Iris Musk Body Wash, the summer-friendly sister of the TikTok-famous "old money" Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired body wash. I am a massive fan of both — the moisturizing clean is so fresh, and the scents are so DELIGHTFULLY luscious without overpowering — but trust me when I say that Wild Iris Musk is *the* warm weather scent. It's floral, soft, playful, and grounded all at once. (And yes, just like the original version, it smells ... expensive 👀.) A waterproof, super lightweight JBL Go 3 speaker so you can impress your friends not just with your excellent playlist curation skills, but the ridiculous sound quality that comes out of this tiny gizmo. It's so portable that you can easily tuck it into a tote bag on your way to a park or pool hang, and so waterproof that reviewers even keep it in the shower! A beach towel clip you can attach to a beach chair to stop it from blowing away while you're off gallivanting in the ocean trying to make friends with a mermaid.

This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. A mini sprinkler pool that will feel a little bit like cheating at life, because how can something so ridiculously easy to set up keep the kiddos entertained for so many hours?? Reviewers also love the letters and animals printed on the surface as a cute learning opportunity for the younger set. A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts so comfy and adorable that you are about to put your denim shorts on notice for the rest of the year — especially since these are a MUCH cheaper alternative to the $98 Reformation version. A Lululemon-inspired mini wristlet wallet set that looks just like their $50 version, and also easily holds cash, cards, and lip balms, so you don't have to deal with the whole muss and fuss of a purse if you're going on a walk around the neighborhood. Plus, you know what they say — keep your friends close and your beloved lippies closer. A waterproof pouch to keep your phone and other "doesn't play well with water"–type gadgets safe. Not only does this keep it safe, but you can still use the touchscreen with it, meaning you can take underwater travel photos galore 🐠🐟🐡.

Go, little base layer, gooooo! A '90s-themed insulated lunchbox complete with a zipped front pocket and a shoulder strap so you can rock your lunch like it's the hottest accessory on the block. A portable Chill-O-Matic Instant Beverage Cooler, aka every finicky cold bevvy drinker's DREAM. This gadget can take a 12-ounce can of seltzer, soda, or beer at room temperature and make it ice cold in just one minute. A lot of people who complain that their fridge doesn't make drinks "cold enough" also swear by this for an extra icy kick. A truly multi-talented set of colorful cooling towels you can use to prevent yourself from overheating — all you have to do is wet these, and they get chilly to drape on your head or neck.
