1. Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Water Gel has a major cult following because of the long-lasting moisture it provides. With over 57,000 5-star reviews, to say reviewers are obsessed is an understatement. And with glowing, hydrated skin, there's no way you won't feel like a million bucks.
This noncomedogenic beauty staple is also oil-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free!
And just a heads up: be sure your Hydro Boost Water Gel is coming straight from Amazon's warehouse! Some reviewers have had trouble with their product if purchasing from a different Amazon retailer.
Promising reviews: " THIS IS THE HOLY GRAIL. I wish I had got this [earilier]. I like the smell, the consistency, and how well it absorbs into my skin. My skin feels SO hydrated after I use it. Even if I use it after a face mask, it still absorbs so well, whereas the hada labo just felt like it was sitting on my skin more times than not. I'm obsessed with this!" —R. R.
"This is my GO TO moisturizer! I am obsessed with how it makes my skin feel and how it smells (kinda like blue raspberry). It has made my skin so much softer and it lasts a really long time since a little goes a long way. I am almost done with this bottle and will definitely be re-ordering when I am close to running out." —Sandra M.
Get it from Amazon for $16.75+ (available in two sizes).
2. The Lip Bar liquid matte lipstick comes in a ton of universal lip shades that are each beautifully pigmented *and* stay in place all day. The red? Stunning! The sultry purple? Gorg! And the bold pink? Oh... it can't be beat. Add on the fact that they're hydrating too, and I'm 100% sold.
The Lip Bar is a woman-owned business. All of their products are vegan and cruelty-free — and they do so much more than just lipstick — check out all of their face and eye makeup as well!
BuzzFeed Editor Kayla Boyd had to say: "I use The Lip Bar's matte liquid lipsticks often and the formula is truly incredible. It hardly budges at all throughout the day, the pigment is bomb, AND it doesn't dry out my lips at all — which is really difficult to find in a matte lipstick."
Get it from Target for $12.99 (available in 12 shades) or from The Lip Bar for $14 (available in 13 shades).
3. Maybelline Master Chrome Highlighter illuminates your skin in the best possible way. And because it's buildable, you can go from a natural glow to a shimmering goddess like *that*.
Promising reviews: "Wow, this is a vibrant highlight. The rose color looks beautiful on my skin but I have to use a VERY light hand when applying. It almost looks like a large pan of eyeshadow and can easily look like a stripe of eyeshadow across your cheeks. If you enjoy a bold highlight then this is for you. The quality is up there with high end. If you're fair I'd definitely get the rose gold over the other colors." —C. Wallace
"Obsessed with this highlighter! It is blinding and looks beautiful on bronzed skin. I was a little nervous the color would be to gold for me but when I applied it, it blended out to the perfect glow. Will be my go-to this summer!" —Riley Hurlbert
Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in four shades and sizes).
4. Broadway's long-lasting clear lip gloss set includes three glosses, each with a different main ingredient that takes a plain ole gloss to the next level.

Each provide the ~perfect~ glossy finish.
Promising review: "I️ saw these in a BuzzFeed article and I always need chapstick/lip moisturizer with me so I️ thought I️ would give these a try! And safe to say, these are perfect, exactly what I️ was looking for! I️ have had the mint one on for 30 minutes and I’m obsessed! It was a little sticky like any lip gloss at first but as time goes but it’s very cooling and moisturizing. I’ll definitely be ordering more to have on hand!" —Stephanie

5. Vibrant Nyx liquid liner makes getting creative with your makeup looks very, very easy. You know all the squiggles and dot liner trends you see everywhere? Yeah, now you can try it out, too (no expensive makeup artist needed).
I'm wearing the blue liner there on the left, and the reviews are 100% right. This liner LASTS. I love to throw it on top of my usual black liner when I want an extra pop on a night out or am just feeling a little "adventurous." The liner's super thin tip glides nicely and makes it easy to be precise, too!
Promising review: "Guys, I have hella hooded eyes, and any time I tried those expensive Sephora or Ulta eyeliners, they would smudge or fade INSTANTLY. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! The color pops, it's easy to use, and it NEVER SMUDGES, NEVER FLAKES, DOES NOT MOVE IN WATER!!! I fell asleep with it on, and it looked like I had just applied it when I woke up. ... Best eyeliner out there, take it from a girl who has tried ALL of those expensive eyeliners (Stila, Urban Decay, YOU NAME IT). I will never switch to anything else." —Jakjak

Promising reviews: "I never write product reviews but I am OBSESSED with this product...I am so glad I decided to try something new. I've been using it for less than a week and my pores are smaller, skin tone is more even, breakouts are under control and fading at least twice as fast as usual, and my skin is GLOWING. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin that is annoyingly combination. I haven't found this to be overly drying or irritating in any way. I would recommend this product to anyone." —Amazon Customer
"This is something I will never not purchase now. I've purchased several bottles now over the last few months or so and I am truly obsessed. Nothing has ever changed or improved my skin so much in such a short time. It's amazing. A holy grail for sure. It evens my skin tone, quickly gets rid of marks or breakouts, smooths my skin, adds a glow...it [really works]. I literally saw results the first night I used it (the next morning)." —Abigail Rose Marsicano

8. Glossier's Boy Brow is the top-rated, cult-favorite, brow-changing product you've gotta try for yourself! With just a few easy and quick flicks, Boy Brow gives you fuller and bolder brows without the crusty residue like some other products. How this gem is under $20 is beyond me!
Glossier is a woman-owned business that was founded in 2012. They took the world by storm by making the barely-there "no makeup, makeup look" trendy again with their beauty products meant to enhance, not cover up.
Promising review: "This brow gel applies just the right amount of product to add fullness and definition while staying natural. The waxy texture once dried holds brows in place perfectly. I'm a brow gel snob and am obsessed!" —Roni

9. OR Ownest Eyebrow Soap gets you the natural, feathered look without any hassle. Simply apply the waterproof, long-lasting gel and brush your brows upward!
Promising review: "I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing, but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I’ve used nearly every product from Anastasia BH, but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." —Bailey M, Deacon
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
10. Essence Lash Princess mascara gives dramatically long lashes without the price of extensions or false strips. This best seller has over 158,000 5-star reviews!
Promising reviews: "I have tried every single expensive mascara and this one tops them all. Sometimes I use a different wand with the formula but I will still buy this over anything else. I saw it in a BuzzFeed article and bought it based on all the positive reviews. I love it, my roommates use it all the time, crowd fave for sure, and it even stays on when you need it to, doesn't flake, and with a makeup wipe isn't impossible to get off." —schyler
"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight hour work day right to the gym and sweat like crazy...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E Weikert

Promising review: "I’m OBSESSED! I always have trouble with eye creams because my skin in general is very sensitive and dry. Usually I get a bad rash or my eyes tear up when using eye creams so I just stopped using them. I decided to give this one a try with all the great reviews and I’m so glad I did! Super hydrating, doesn’t make me tear up and sits well under makeup!... It did instantly hydrate my under eyes with no reaction and had a brightening effect that made me look less tired!...Can’t beat the price of this either, definitely worth a try!" —D

Promising reviews: "I am obsessed with this conditioner. Its light enough to use every other wash and it smells amazing.

Just bought two more bottles because I never want to run out of this magic." —sgt

15. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion dries up your blemishes overnight! This award-winning liquid blends salicylic acid (to shed dead skin cells), sulfur (to cleanse pores), and calamine (to cool and soothe). Reviewers say it's ~thee~ go-to when they need a speedy remedy for acne.
Promising review: "Obsessed with this stuff and would give it more stars if I could. My daughter is a teenager and is going through acne issues right now and puts it on any spots before bed and she wakes up so much clearer. I will say if you have major acne it could take two nights in a row to clear up but after the first night a lot of redness is gone and they shrink. If you're like me and don’t break out often, if you catch it early and put this on at night you will wake up with smooth skin like it never happened. I have recommended it to others in my family and they are obsessed with this stuff too." —HarlowJBD, Sephora customer
16. Bread Beauty Supply's Hair Oil Everyday Gloss hydrates, repairs, and coats hair in a lightweight, nongreasy formula. Thanks to ingredients like kakadu plum oil and safflower oil, you'll get silky and shinier hair with limited frizz.
Bread Beauty Supply is a Black woman-owned small business that creates amazing haircare specifically for those with curl types 3a–4c.
Promising reviews: "I will probably never stop using this oil. I love it that much. Seriously though, I have very very thick hair that gets frizzy like a lion's mane. I use this oil after I've heat styled my hair to tame the frizz, and I use it on second/third day hair. It's truly a magical hair oil! When applied after styling, I use 3–4 drops (on thick, mid-back length hair) and the oil leaves my hair looking soft, shiny and sleek. For days in between washing, my frizz loves to pop back up, but with 4–5 drops of the Bread Oil my hair looks fresh...And it smells like gummy bears! The fragrance is fairly strong right after it comes out of the bottle, but once it's on your hair, it dissipates to a very faint, but still sweet, smell. I think the fragrance is the perfect amount." —duckyy
"My hair is very fine and can easily look greasy if products are too rich for it, but this product is a total home run. The oil has a thickness that reminds me of hair serums or products with dimethicone, but unlike dimethicone products, this formula actually absorbs into my hair and nourishes it instead of leaving a residue or coated feeling behind. My hair is shiny and healthy-looking but doesn't feel like there's any product in it, and that is exactly what I need and want in a product like this. The bottle is made from sturdy glass, and the oil smells like a bright and fruity Lip Smackers gloss from the '90s, but the scent disappears after application so it doesn't become too much. It's such a joy to use." —nleslie63
Get it from Sephora for $14+ (available in three sizes) or from Bread Beauty supply for $18.
17. Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint gives you long-lasting color that can (basically) stand the test of time. The reviews are filled with people who say it stays gorgeous from morning to evening. And the best part? Even when it fades, it leaves a pretty, natural-looking stain!

Get it from Amazon for $8.80 (available in 18 shades).
19. One Hit Wonder 10-in-1 Leave-in Spray controls frizz, detangles, conditions, prevents breakage, strengthens — honestly, the list goes on and on. It kinda feels like this should cost a million bucks with all it can do, but it'll leave you *looking* like a million bucks instead.

There are so many different colors; each color is different than the rest. I am very pleased with my purchase. Each individual sheet is a bit bigger than the palm of your hand. I also gave some to my mother for her birthday, to be used on her phone. She loved them. I highly recommend buying these for stickers on your face, or to put on your phone or other item. I will be buying them again." —ZombieLove

But nah, I used it with liquid body soap and I’ve never felt so clean in my whole life. I got out of the shower feeling like a freshly birthed baby.

Oh but then I used this miracle in a jar...for the first time in my natural hair journey, I have been consistently wearing wash-and-gos. Takes me no time to style my hair, it’s moisturized, shiny, and looks so healthy. I’ve had soooo many people tell me how healthier my hair looks now.

BTW, this polish is water-based which means it doesn't have the dramatically strong scent that nail polish normally has.
Promising review: "The set comes in various colors and they are all beautiful. The polish has a big brush that covers the nail easily. The polish is opaque but I did two coats. It didn't stain my nails or has a strong smell. The polish dried up quickly. I cook and clean, so it started to wear off on the fourth day. But I can repaint because of the easy application and fast drying." —perksofbeautyblog

34. Glossier Balm Dotcom is the multi-tasking gem you didn't know you needed. Yep, it works as a hydrating lip balm, but it can also be used to sooth dry and chafed areas all over the body (elbows, heels, you name it).
This is made with heavy-duty moisturizers like castor oil, beeswax, and lanolin, and is dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "I absolutely adore the birthday Balm Dotcom. I’m on my third one and will probably keep repurchasing it until the end of time. It’s one of the only lip products that truly leaves my lips feeling hydrated and soft and not needing to reapply ever half hour because the formula is so thick and it stays on for hours. I also love the little touch of shimmer and smell, but the formula is just wonderful in general. I purchased the mint one, and I really enjoy that one too. I trade off between the two of them and completely ignore the dozens of other lip products I have, because the Balm Dotcoms are so good for me." —Lillian
