Promising review: "I bought these for myself when I was feeling sad because the world is terrible, and it was 100% a great choice. The delicious treats arrived quickly and the box included almost all the best things. I was super excited that a Curly Wurly was included because it is my number one UK candy (I haven't eaten the one that came in the box yet. I'm saving it for last because then I get to look forward to it for weeks. So technically I can't say that this Curly Wurly will be as good as every other one, but we are just going to have to trust my prejudgment here.) 10/10, would order again." —nic_is_nicole

The Tiny Tassel (a Black woman-owned business) is one of my new favorite brands I discovered a bit ago. They create brightly colored jewelry, clothing, and accessories. I got a different pair of earrings this summer that I love, and these bad boys are next on my list. The color is so bright and fun and would look great with just about any outfit. These earrings are made with a lightweight resin and handmade tassels. They measure 4" long and are nickel-free.

Promising review: "I have seen this dress on EVERY. SINGLE. BUZZFEED. article for the past 6 months. I'd put it in my cart, take it out, read another article, put it in. I FINALLY ordered it (size small, I'm 5'4 and 130 lbs, size 4 pants with a big butt). It is just as adorable as everyone said. I got so many compliments when I wore it to work.

Promising review: "This necklace is awesome. First, it looks very high quality despite the super cheap price. I've worn it to a couple of fancier functions, and it's gotten rave reviews. People look at it and don't really get what it is at first, but then they "get" it. That's when they'll grab someone else by the arm, drag them over, and say "Look at her necklace! Omg!" The silver one is really pretty. It looks maybe a little too fancy for casual wear (depends on the person wearing it, I'm sure), so I got one in black that I can wear for those times. :D" —yetisaurus

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these things!!! I'm an esthetician; however, being in my twenties and having raging hormones has challenged my skin a lot. It's embarrassing showing up to work and having pimples when others are supposed to trust me with their skin. These are so fast-acting and have saved me a lot of time and money. It's amazing how they just suck out the infection. It's perfect for those deep-under-the-skin pimples as well, but it does take a few extra days. I will continue to repurchase!" —julia raye todd

BuzzFeed editor Ana Maria Glavan (above) swears by Boy Brow and so do so many others on our team. Your brows may never be the same.
Promising review: "Boy Brow is the best brow product I have ever tried. I have been using it for years, and it has never been surpassed. I have quite thin brow hairs, and they aren't very full, and Boy Brow fills them out just enough to enhance what is naturally there. And they stay in place through anything! I usually just use a little bit of Boy Brow and the Like lipstick and it is just enough to bring out your features. It is also great if you double up the application for more of a thicker brow look." —katherine

Promising review: "This is a GREAT light! I have never had a HappyLight before, and this is really a game-changer! I live in NYC where it feels like it is gray all the time, and in the past I have certainly felt the effects. This season I noticed that my energy never lagged, and I was still able to hop out of bed even though it was dark. I use it for about 30 minutes per day while eating an early breakfast, and it keeps me going all day! I cannot say enough good things about this light. Also, it is small enough to be portable which is very convenient. It would fit anywhere in my apartment. I highly recommend it!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love this product. I was really skeptical about face rollers and their benefits, but have been wanting to try one for a while. This product is well constructed and priced right.

The all-natural soy wax candle has a 60- to 80-hour burn time and is made in the USA.
Promising review: "I got this as a surprise for my boyfriend. He moved to my state from Texas for college. I wasn't sure about how it would smell but I figured even if he wasn't a fan it would be neat as a decoration for his room. When I surprised him with the candle and he smelled it, he actually got very emotional and started crying because he said the smell instantly brought back so many memories of home. I don't know how they did it, but Homesick Candles managed to replicate the smell of home so well in this candle that it took my boyfriend back home immediately. Definitely worth my money. :)" —Bailey K

Promising review: "This lipstick is amazing. I put it on and took shower to see if it would come off and it didn’t even budge. Then I went and ate food and drink water and still it was just as good as when I put it on. Many people have complained about how just won’t come off — well, I was able to take it off with olive oil (while I know that’s not a conventional method). It does stay on literally all day. So I think it’s so worth it. My lips still feel amazing afterward. It’s not drying like other formulas." —Amazon Customer
