    1. Add some *drama* to your lashes with Maybelline's 'Lash Sensational' mascara.

    Jasmin Nahar / BuzzFeed

    "Prior to this I was using a high-end mascara that cost upwards of £20. But with lockdowns being so on and off, I hardly wore makeup and didn't want to keep splurging on mascaras I was only going to wear a handful of times before they expired. I nabbed this hyped-up Maybelline Lash Sensational one and so far it hasn't disappointed – it gives my lashes a fanned-out effect and can be layered up without any clumping!".

    – Jasmin Nahar 

    Price: £5.04

    2. These reusable beeswax food covers work like a kind of lower-waste tinfoil or clingfilm.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "You can shape them to fit a variety of different surfaces, from pots to pans and bowls! They become stiff when cold so will hold their shape in the fridge, and they'll get soft and malleable again when they're warmed up."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £7.99 for three.

    3. Prevent limescale buildup (and subsequent scaly cuppas) with this descaling doughnut.

    Jasmin Nahar / BuzzFeed

    "I just put it in my kettle and continue using it as normal. The scales attach to the ball, and then I can rinse the descaler ball whenever I need to before using it again. I'm happy to report there's been minimal scale in my cuppas thanks to this."

    – Jasmin Nahar 

    Price: £2.60 for two. 

    4. This inexpensive curler has an extra-wide barrel, making it perfect for beachy waves.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I'd been looking for a curler like this for months before I found it. It's got a variety of temperature settings to choose from, and I love how thick the barrel is!"

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £14.85 for a 32mm barrel curler.

    5. And this ridiculously cheap hairspray will hold your style in place for ages!

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I was a bit worried that this stuff would leave my hair feeling stiff and heavy, but it actually blew me away! It feels light but has a seriously impressive grip."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £1.83.

    6. Wake up to smoother, softer lips by nabbing this nourishing overnight salve from O'Keeffe's!

    Jasmin Nahar / BuzzFeed

    "As a self-confessed Scaly Lizard Woman I'm often in need of nourishing products, and my lips tend to get really dry and chapped even in the warmer months. I've tried so many lip balms but this overnight repair salve by O'Keeffe's is my absolute favourite. I can apply it before bed and wake up to smoother lips without the need to top it up loads throughout the day. It also doesn't leave a greasy feeling (my absolute pet hate with lip balms!)."

    – Jasmin Nahar 

    Price: £3.94

    7. This 'Healthy Mix' Bourjois foundation is infused with nourishing ingredients.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "TBH I hadn't used Bourjois for years before I saw this absolute steal online, and I'm so glad it bought me back! I love how brightening and natural-looking this medium-coverage product is on my skin – it doesn't look cakey or dull, and it covers my (pretty substantial) zit collection!"

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £6.25 – it's available in 12 different shades.

    8. And you can pair it with Barry M's dewy setting spray for maximum *results*.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "You know how setting sprays are marketed as a product that melts your makeup for a filter-style finish, but most of them just dampen it for a second and then dry up? Well, this one actually did deliver (oh, and it held my makeup in place for hours too!)."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £4.99.

    9. You might never go back to your usual nail polish remover after trying Cutex's ultra-powerful one.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "There's nothing I hate more than a frustratingly slow-acting nail polish remover, so I was delighted when this bad boy took my GEL nail polish off in about 35 minutes (ugh, so satisfying)."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £6.45.

    10. Transform the skin under your eyes with these hyaluronic acid-infused sheet masks!

    Jasmin Nahar / BuzzFeed

    "I used these recently and was really impressed by how hydrated and refreshed they made my under-eye area look and feel! They felt incredibly soothing while on, and I like these as an alternative to a proper sheet mask (as I dislike having to be completely still or risk the face mask falling off)."

    – Jasmin Nahar 

    Price: £2.00 for two masks, one for each eye.

    11. Your clothes' colours won't run into one another when you use these Colour Catcher sheets!

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I got sick of all my white clothes coming out of the washing machine a pale blue or pink and thought I'd try out these nifty sheets. They're really easy to use – just chuck one into your washing machine alongside your clothes and you're good to go. I've been really impressed by how effective they are!"

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £3.75 for 50 sheets.

    12. Boost your booty with these TikTok-famous honeycomb leggings!

    Jaime Rose / BuzzFeed

    "My flatmate bought these for herself after weeks of leaving them in her basket, and she's *very* glad she caved! They're soft and sculpting at the same time."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £13.99 – they're available in sizes S-XL.

    13. Keep your food fresh for less with these cheap reusable clips.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "They click together to create a seamless seal, so they're ideal if you've got a lot of opened packets lying around (they've saved me from having to chuck out so many half-eaten bags of crisps!). They're completely dishwasher-safe too."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £3.35 for 30.

    14. Not to be dramatic, but this foldable shopping cart might actually change your life.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "I double-checked with everyone on my team and confirmed that yes, we ARE all one supermarket trip away from buying that shopping cart your aunt swears by. This one folds into a laptop-sized case when it's not in use, so it's totally inconspicuous when I'm carrying it to the shops! My supermarket is close enough that I can't really take a bus there but too far to walk back home with an armful of shopping, so of COURSE I haven't shut up about this 30-litre cart since I got it."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £24.55.

    15. If you check out the reviews for these £4 fluffy faux lashes, you'll find a LOT of converted sceptics.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "These were the first glue-on lashes I'd ever tried to wear, and I was surprised by how easy they were to apply to my hooded eyes. They look full and fluffy instead of clumpy and plastic-y! No wonder so many folks left rave reviews for them."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £3.99 for five pairs.

    16. And this inexpensive lash glue will keep 'em in place for hours.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    "It gets tacky pretty quickly, and it dries completely clear too! I love how natural-looking its clear finish is."

    –Amy Glover

    Price: £4.19.
