34 Budget-Friendly Products That Certainly Do Not Give Off Budget-Friendly Vibes
1. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones that are giving AirPods Max energy with their sleek look and premium cushion padding — except, of course, getting these won't require you handing over hundreds of dollars. They also feature a built-in mic for calls, 10 hours of battery life, and do a decent job of blocking out noise!
iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord owns these: "Because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."
Promising review: "I really like these headphones. The noise cancellation isn't 100% but it's pretty close. The color is really cute and music comes through really clear. Calls are good as well. I wish the buttons on the side were a bit raised but that's it. For the price, these are really worth it!" — Sophia Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors).
2. An expensive-looking duffel bag with quite the resume. It's durable and water-resistant; plus, it has long handles to easily lug it around, a side panel to hook it onto a suitcase, and compartments to keep your wet/dirty clothes separate from your clean ones — check, check, check, and check.
Promising reviews: "Used this bag for all of my dog's things on a cross-country move. We stayed in multiple hotels and did not have any issues with ripping or anything getting broken. It is sturdy, collapsible, and looks like an expensive piece of luggage. LOVE IT!" — victor forrester
"This bag is amazing!! It's the perfect size for all my gym stuff. Clothes, shoes, water bottle, pre-workout, headphones, toiletries, etc., and it can be made smaller or bigger height-wise with these little buttons they have on the side that you can snap down. Very cute. It also has some inside mesh pockets to help separate things better. If you thinking about it, just buy it!" — Sarah Chambers
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and in dozens of colors).
3. A scoop neck top that's really giving Skims a run for their money. It's super soft with the perfect amount of thickness and stretchiness, making it the perfect versatile staple for your closet.
Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 33 colors).
4. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip formulated with vegan squalane, raspberry oil, and cloudberry oil to hydrate your lips while providing some serious shimmer. It's comparable to the Dior lip oil and UNDER $10, so everyone say "thank you" to Nyx.
Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the NYX Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It's always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $7.54+ (available in 14 shades).
5. Some peel-and-stick palm leaf wallpaper to transform any room into a Pinterest inspo photo. This design is almost indistinguishable from West Elm's tropical wallpaper — except it's ~actually~ affordable.
It really is just peel and stick (no paste or glue needed), and if you mess up, that's totally fine because you can simply reposition it! It also doesn't leave behind a residue, and it's steam- and moisture-resistant, so you can revamp your bathroom without worrying about it peeling.
Promising review: "I used this in a little bathroom refresh, and it was perfect. So easy to apply and makes me feel like I'm at a bougie Palm Springs hotel. I love it!" — Pilatesandpapaya
Get a 28-square-foot roll from Amazon for $35.92 (available in a two-pack and two other colors).
6. A deeply nourishing collagen-coating hair mask that only needs 5–20 minutes to revitalize your hair — and trust me, your strands will thank you. This treatment will leave your mane softer and glossier (it's the ceramide 3 and protein extracts!), and reviewers love how effective it is in repairing their damaged hair. You simply won't find another hair mask that works this well and is this affordable (*side-eyes Olaplex *).
Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." — Therese-Claire
"I have super fine, blonde hair. I've ran through likely hundreds of different hair masks and leave in conditioners over the years, only to have them cling to my hair like nothing else, often leaving it feeling waxy and heavy. After a few rounds of clarifying shampoo, I reached for this stuff and it legit brought my hair back from the grave. Even with my hair being extremely fine, it leaves it soft, glossy, and gorgeous! I know some people have said they're not a fan of the smell, but I find it to be super light and refreshing.
Could not recommend this stuff enough!!" — Soph
Get it from Amazon for $7.62.
7. Some oversized square sunnies for when you want to add some Bottega energy to your 'fit but don't have the extra cash to spend on a *real* designer pair. These have polarized lenses and UV protection — so they do more than just make you look chic and stylish.
Promising review:"I've been looking at these sunglasses at Bottega Veneta for months but just couldn't justify spending the hundreds of dollars because I lose sunnies so often! These are EXACTLY THE SAME! The weight of them, the detail on the sides. The only difference is the brand name is not on the side (obviously LOL) Love these so much!" — Shelley Cooper
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 14 lens colors).
8. And some Bottega-esque teardrop earrings you can wear with any 'fit for any occasion — not many accessories can look as equally amazing with a shirt and jeans as they do with a floor-length gown, but these pull it off!
Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega drop earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size).
9. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara that wraps each individual lash in tiny, lightweight "tubes" (hence the name) made of flexible polymers for maximum length and volume. And the real magic happens when you remove it: Instead of smudging or smearing, these tubes cleanly come off with just a little warm water and gentle wiping — so NO raccoon eyes!
Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action.
Emma swears by this budget-friendly option: "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).
10. An affordable longline sports bra made from a very soft, stretchy material that's pretty similar to the Lulu Align tank. It's quickly become a staple in a ton of reviewers' wardrobes (with 29,000 5-star ratings to prove it), and many say they don't even wear a bra with this because of the supportive padding. It's so good, people are snagging it in different colors — and you'll probably want to as well. 😉
Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors).
11. And a pair of lightweight legging-style joggers to complete your Lulu look. And just like the Lulu ones, these are breathable with a wide waistband for maximum comfort. You can wear them to work out, run errands, or just lounge in!
Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 23 colors).
12. L'Oreal's True Match Lumi Glotion so you can glow like a beautiful sunset without spending three times as much on Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Drops. This adds a lightweight tint that creates a natural dewy look, perfect for mixing with your favorite moisturizer or layering with foundation!
Promising reviews: "I used this with my Olay Regenerist Cream (it helps with my wrinkles). I mixed it, and it does a great deal of shine! You should buy it if you're looking for a Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Drops substitute! Way better than Drunk Elephant." — raegan kuball
"I actually like this glowy lotion better than the Drunk Elephant one, and I have both. This goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It leaves you very glowy with a beautiful tan and works well with makeup on top if you so wish. Lasting power, too. Recommend." — ggvega
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades and as a two-pack).
13. A vegan leather shoulder bag that's so versatile and chic, you'll be pairing it with everything from a casual tee and jeans to a sleek dress for date night. It comes in a stunning range of colors that you'll want to collect like Infinity Stones — and I mean, you literally could buy *four* of these for the same price as JW Pei's adorable Joy shoulder bag.
Promising review: "I'm amazed at the quality of this bag!! Like helloooo, don't think, just buy. To think I almost bought the JW Pei original. This will do just GREAT." — Olive
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in nine styles).
14. A marble board wire cheese cutter for effortlessly slicing through cheese with precision — and when you're not using it, it'll just sit pretty on your counter, adding a touch of style to your kitchen.
Amazon
Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action.
Promising review:"My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." — Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $17.64 (available in two colors and two styles).
15. A lightweight Sol de Janeiro hair and body fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 — infused with a lovely blend of hibiscus, jasmine, and sun musk, it's reminiscent of the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 (but won't leave your wallet crying).
Promising review: "I finally received my new body spray yesterday and was in complete shock at the resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 540. This body spray is so delicious. It is definitely a Baccarat Rouge 540 [alternative]. There were so many reviews that said how much this body spray resembled the very pricey perfume, and they were all correct. I absolutely love Baccarat Rouge 540, but it's so expensive compared to other perfumes like Chanel, so I opt not to purchase it regularly. This body spray is a wonderful substitute for overpriced perfume. Today will be my first day wearing the spray, so hopefully, it has great longevity throughout the day as well. 🤞🏼 Regardless, I would still purchase it again moving forward." — Tina
Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes and 10 scents).
16. And a moisturizing body wash giving similar vibes, because you deserve to smell ~luxurious~. This white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber–infused formula will get you pretty close to the OG without spending an arm and a leg.
Emma says, "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 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 (available in three scents).
17. A set of affordable lavender shower steamers to turn your everyday shower into a mini spa experience. Just set one on the floor (not *directly* in the flow of water, but to the side), and it'll release a soothing scent, enhancing the experience with some lovely aromatherapy. It's great for anyone who loves a little self-care after a long, draining day.

Promising review: "Hubby bought these for me because I work full time and just decided to go back to school full time, and he figured I'd be a little stressed, haha. They all smell wonderful, they work great, they'll definitely help me calm down especially during exam time at school or budget season at work." — Tyleena Gloeker
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles).
18. A stunning laptop tote bag if you've been dying to own the luxurious Béis Work Tote but don't have over $100 to spend on a bag. This tote is just as wonderful, with a padded pocket that fits up to a 15.6-inch laptop and many other compartments for all the stuff you'd need for your day. The handles and shoulder strap are both adjustable and detachable, so you can also wear it different ways!
Promising reviews: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su
" Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney. She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers." — J Cliett
Get it from Amazon for $34.86+ (available in nine styles).
19. Or a trendy tote bag that could get mistaken for the Longchamp Le Pliage bag — it even folds into a tiny rectangle just like the OG. (Whether you decide to tell people you got it for waaay less is up to you.) It's the perfect commuter bag and can easily hold your laptop, iPad, and all of your daily essentials!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag too which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors).
20. A sleek, water-resistant fitness smartwatch with 70 activity modes to track everything from your heart rate and daily steps to calories burned per workout. It even receives calls and texts, so you can sneakily stay in the loop while your group chat is blowing up during a meeting. It's honestly very similar to an Apple Watch, but, of course, for way less money (like waaay less).
Just some extra info for ya: It has Bluetooth connectivity that's compatible with both Android and iOS. And since there's a built-in microphone and speaker, you'll be able to answer and make calls, but you can only receive texts, not send them (since there's no keyboard option).
Promising review: "This is a great inexpensive alternative to an iWatch. This watch has exceeded my expectations in quality, battery life, and usefulness. It can go 5–7 days on one charge, has over 400 watch faces to pick from, and will track steps, sleep, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. It comes with three different interchangeable watch bands so you should be able to find one that works for you. I'm extremely hard on watch faces, but the crystal on this watch is still perfect two months after purchase and I wear it 24/7. I loved mine so much I bought one for my daughter." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors).
21. A set of satin pillowcases that'll have you smiling in your sleep knowing how much you saved getting these instead of dropping over $50 on a single Blissy pillowcase. These create less friction on your hair compared to cotton pillowcases, which helps reduce frizz and breakage; plus, the satin just feels so soft and cool on your skin.
Amazon
Promising reviews:"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 35 colors and four sizes).
22. A classic herringbone necklace with a striking resemblance to the $13,000 Tiffany HardWear one, but this chain will elevate your wardrobe without breaking your budget. This with a black tee and jeans? Instantly chic.
Promising review: "I've been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn't believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!" — FAXA10
Get it from Amazon for $19.94 (available in six styles).
23. A 100% leakproof temperature-detecting coffee thermos that'll keep your beverage hot or cold for up to 24 hours, all while keeping you updated on its exact temp. Plus, it's made from a special corrosion-resistant stainless steel, so you can use it over and over (and over) without your drinks tasting like rust.
Promising review: "I ordered one based on reviews and it did not disappoint. I like my coffee HOT and my water COLD, and this lets me know exactly what to expect. It keeps ice for HOURS, as in well over 24 if the lid is on and over 12 even if the lid is off. Best feature ... I've managed to drop it TWICE in as many days and although the top is a little scratched (I had a sleeve from a different bottle that almost comes up to the lid), thermometer still works. Still leakproof. Couldn't ask for a better thermos." — Kelly H.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors).
24. A sparkly CZ tennis bracelet because you actually don't have to spend an arm and a leg on a Swarovski to feel opulent. This one looks just as elegant and timeless and can be worn everyday or to special events.
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).
25. A set of elegant cylindrical wineglasses to make drinking any beverage feel like you're celebrating something — and TBH, finding an affordable Crate & Barrel alternative IS cause for celebration.
Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories.
Promising reviews:"Beautiful wineglasses. I am obsessed. They are so modern and elegant. The quality is really nice. They arrived very well packaged. Definitely worth the money." — Maybeline
"Sexy glasses. Kinda over the stemless glasses, and these are [an affordable alternative] for the expensive ones from Crate & Barrel." — 1talleah
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three styles).
26. And a set of vintage-inspired glass coffee mugs with gold spoons if you'd rather not splurge on the nearly identical set from Anthropologie. Putting your favorite drinks, desserts, or snacks in a beautiful vessel just elevates the vibe.
Amazon
Promising review:"These are so cute and look like an Anthropologie [version] for a fraction of the price!" — corriescott
Get the set of two from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in seven styles and sets with matching lids or saucers).
27. A reviewer-beloved set of double-brushed microfiber sheets that are so incredibly soft and luxe, you'll never want to leave your bed. If you're tired of waking up in a pool of sweat every night (or sleep next to someone who's a human heater), you're in luck, because reviewers say these have a remarkable "cooling" sensation. *And* they have deep pockets (18 inches to be exact!) that'll fit over even the thickest of mattress toppers.
LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets.
P romising reviews: 'LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ' — Shannon Warfel
"Super soft, great quality, good price. Saw these advertised on TikTok and had them sitting in my cart for months. My sister bought a set and when I felt how soft, I immediately bought them." — Donna Baker
Get it from Amazon for $27.96+ (available in sizes twin—California king, with deep pockets, and in 40 styles).
28. A cubic zirconia ring if you're not ready to drop over $1,000 (!!) on the Cartier Love Ring but still want the look. You'll find yourself wearing this with basically all your outfits — it's just that easy to style.
Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knockoff when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in ring sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles).
29. And a gorgeous cocktail ring set that looks like it costs at least a thousand dollars, but nope! — it literally costs less than the shrimp carbonara from Olive Garden. Reviewers say it's very durable, so you'll be able to rock it for years to come.
Promising review: "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now and in the beginning I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks I just decided to leave it on and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price and I am very pleased." — tracy k revels
Get it from Amazon for $20.39 (available in four colors and ring sizes 5–10).
30. A TikTok-viral "Soft" perfume rollerball that packs a punch with its sweet, long-lasting fragrance that reviewers compare to lemon cake, warm vanilla scones, and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar. Plus, it has high sillage so prepare to be turning heads when you're walking down the street — and all for five dollars. 🙌
Sillage refers to the trail of scent that lingers in the air after someone wearing perfume passes by.
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 $6.10 (available in a perfume).
31. A pack of vegan and cruelty-free Lilac St. Original Lashes you can wear for up to 10 days (yes, you read that right!). They're a more affordable and accessible alternative to salon lash extensions but still give you the same flawless result. The silk lash fibers attach to an ultra-thin band that adheres well, giving you natural, wispy lashes that'll have you feeling like you're in the Winx club. ✨🦋
Check out why these are a fave in this TikTok.
Promising review: "Y'all I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use multiple times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously will never stray." — Katiew
Get them from Amazon for $12.95 (available in four sizes, seven styles, and a starter kit that comes with the Originals in two sizes, lash glue, and an applicator).
32. Kitsch's iconic claw clip that's built to last, so get ready for this to be your hair's new best friend. The teeth are specially rounded to prevent hair damage while holding your locks securely; plus, it comes in gold and silver, so you can match it to your jewelry and give your daily 'fit a more put-together vibe.
Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Promising review:"Love that you can dress this up or down! It is my go-to accessory for working in preschool to put my hair up quickly. It is elegant and classic. It is amazingly durable even in getting thrown in the bottom of my heavy work bag! I am amazed by this clip. I have coarse medium thick hair and it is the perfect size." — Niki
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors and packs of two or four).
33. A set of glass battery-operated LED flameless candles so you can have ~ambiance~ and fall asleep to candlelight without worrying about starting a fire. Just like the Luminara faux candles (which cost three times as much 👀), these are remote-controlled, allowing you to adjust their brightness and even set timers!
These require three AAA batteries per candle that will last you about 150 hours.
Promising review:"With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I've always used Luminara, which unfortunately, devour batteries and die after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient affect. The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!" — pandorah
Get the set of three from Amazon for $22.99 (available in six styles).
34. A trio of lip sleeping masks that essentially do the same thing as the Laneige one (providing deep hydration and nourishment) but for waaay less money *and* you get THREE of them! It's primarily an overnight treatment, but it can also be used as a lip balm throughout the day — so you're getting some serious bang for the little buck you spent.
Promising review: " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." — Riya
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six scent combos).
