1. Essence's Lash Princess mascara for instantly lengthier, more voluminous lashes without the need for pesky falsies and glue. And lots of reviewers say it lasts throughout the day and never clumps, so it'll probably be the best five bucks you'll ever spend.
Watch a TikTok reviewer apply the mascara here!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says: "Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 100,000 positive reviews and now I will never look back!! It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time."
Promising review: "Great coverage on the first swipe! I have been searching for a good mascara for months and have had no luck. I saw this was on sale and had good reviews so figured I’d give it a try. I was really really surprised most mascaras are goopy the first time you try time and end up getting all over I didn’t have an issue with this one which was a pleasant surprise, the brush is fiber and not silicon another pulse for me, first swipe I was shocked, it covered well and made my lashes look thicker and longer, I waited a few seconds and applied one more coat and that was it! No need to keep going back over them, I haven’t tried to remove it yet but I’m very happy with it and I think my search for the perfect mascara might be over!" —Amber Barrie
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
2. A box of Mighty Match blemish patches containing hydrocolloid to spot-treat those pesky skin eruptions that always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient times. Leave 'em on overnight, and in the morning you'll be rewarded with a patch full of gross yet satisfying white residue (aka pimple gunk).
Check these out on TikTok here!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde says: "I've used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these one right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it's much less noticeable and is practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It's such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!"
Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway
Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99.
3. A shampoo scalp massager you're gonna be angry you didn't invent yourself (but will absolutely LOVE using during all future showers). Not only does it help evenly distribute shampoo (no more residue pockets!), it'll give you alllll of those pleasurable scalp tingles.
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
4. A bottle of fan-favorite Bio-Oil to take your skin from borderline scaly to oh-so-soft after just one application. It's formulated with vitamins A and E along with chamomile, sunflower, and lavender oils to provide much-needed hydration without clogging pores or making skin feel greasy (the worst!).

Promising review: "Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it’s hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I’ve been using it morning and night." —Yasmin Rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in three sizes, as well as a pack of three and two bundles).
5. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer, which has over 18,000 five-star ratings — probably because it's more than just a smooth makeup base. It contains squalane, which mimics oil naturally found in our bodies to keep thirsty skin hydrated, so your face will feel as good as it looks. Oh, and reviewers say that with this stuff, your makeup will. not. budge.

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought I'd take a chance. I have sensitive skin and have to watch what I use. I LOVE this product! Goes on smooth and you don't need to use a lot. I put it on before I put on my foundation. Makes a huge difference. Highly recommend and will buy again!!" —Leslie Mattingly
Get it from Amazon for $9.
6. A Korean microdermabrasion mitt you can use in the shower when you wanna buff away dry, dead skin (but feel like you're getting a spa treatment). The exfoliation comes from a skin-smoothing viscose fiber lining, and once it's cleared away all the flaky stuff, your skin will have an easier time absorbing lotions and creams. If you love a gross-yet-satisfying moment, this is for you.
Watch one TikToker use it to remove their self-tanner build-up here!
Promising review: "I love these mitts so much, I wish I found them sooner! For me, brushes and loofas don’t give me enough exfoliation and they fall apart and get gross too fast. These mitts are perfect. Also, they are way more cost effective and easier to use than a sugar scrub type product. I feel like these mitts will last a long time, and they’re easy to clean and have a loop so you can hang them to dry in your shower. I keep one at my place and one at my boyfriend's. They are a little rough so it’s not something you want to use more than twice per week, and use gentle motions in sensitive areas. My skin is so smooth after I use these and it’s helped me get rid of ingrown hairs on my bikini line. Just make sure to moisturize after using! I’m excited to use it for when I apply fake tan in the summer months." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available as a pair).
7. Danessa Myricks Beauty's Colorfix Eye, Cheek, and Lip Cream Pigment, which will undoubtedly become the most reached-for item in your makeup bag once you discover how versatile it is.

Danessa Myricks Beauty is a Black, woman-owned small biz dedicated to creating "a world of beauty for people from all races, ages, and genders." FYI, this product is cruelty-free!
Promising review: "This is my first time trying this product and I absolutely love it. It is transfer-proof and the color is very vibrant. I used it as a lipstick, eyeliner, and an eyeshadow. I have combination skin, and I have to say I’m pleased with the wearability of this product. Upon applying it, it feels like a cream, but once it dries, it becomes weightless and matte. I really loved this product because I could barely tell I was wearing anything on my face. Usually, I have a hard time finding products that are genuinely transfer-proof, smudge-proof, and weightless. I am so happy I stumbled upon this product. I also have to say that it’s pretty easy to take off as well depending on what products you use. I used the Garnier waterproof micellar water and with a few swipes there was very little smudging, and the product came right off." —whailey
Get it from Sephora for $18 (available in 31 colors).
8. A microplane foot file with serious smoothing power you'll want if your dry, cracked feet could use some TLC. You'll be shocked by how much dead skin it removes, even after the first use — I mean, the photos say it all.
See how much dead skin one TikToker was able to remove from their husband's feet here (maybe don't eat while watching).
Promising review: "I have purchased every callous cream on the market and it has been a waste of time and money. This simple device is a miracle worker. The callous on my big toe is very, very hard and the nearby callous along the side of the foot , while not as large and hard, is also difficult. I have used this device three days in a row, taking off a little at a time and not applying pressure. I apply lotion before and after using it and both areas show substantial improvement. It is important that you do not rush this process. Just a little at a time. Remember how long it took for that callous to form! Because I have been gentle and careful I have no pain. Cleaning is simple. I wholeheartedly recommend!" —desertdragonfly
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
9. And a popular foot exfoliant you can wear with your legs propped up as you binge your favorite series. Your jaw will drop when you see how much these transform your feet — flip-flops, here we come.

With these foot mask "socks," you just slide them onto your feet, leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak into your feet, and you should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with remarkably softer feet in two weeks!).
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. My feet were dry, cracked, and needed this. This works AMAZING! After two to three days my feet felt itchy. Trust the process. After the third day my feet began to itch a little. I showered after work and it just be prepared because the process was FREAKY! My feet are so soft, no cracks. I love how they feel and look now. I bought a second pack. I’ll continue to use this foot peel." —Mermaidme
Get two pairs from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four scents).
10. A hair blinger set that'll transport you right back to the '90s, but in the best possible way. Just place a small piece of hair inside the blinger tool, click like you were using a stapler, and ta-da! The cutest sparkly hair accessory ever.
Watch one TikToker use it on their hair here!
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this product! I got it for a themed day and it was so simple to set up and use. The gems are sticky, which I thought was much less damaging to my hair than if they were staples, and they stayed in for over eight hours until I removed them. They were so cute, and because they are sticky, you can put them other places like on your face. Loved these." –JL Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $9.61.
11. A smudge-proof eyeliner stamp, because achieving the perfect cat-eye shouldn't be a major source of stress in the morning. Use the fine end for lining, and then *boop!* stamp the outer corners to complete the look sans shaky hands.
Watch one TikToker test it out here! Oh, and it comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!
Promising review: "Best eyeliner ever! This item was a 'TikTok made me buy it' LOL but overall, I am truly happy with this purchase. Thank you! Your product is truly amazing!" —Samantha Lopez
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in three styles as well as a combo set).
12. And Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, which is a bonafide classic (it's got 7,000+ 5-star reviews on Sephora and 18,000+ on Amazon!). Reviewers say it lives up to its name by providing long-lasting wear so you can rock a bold, dramatic eye that will. not. budge!
Watch one TikToker's tutorial here!
Promising review: "I ventured into the world of eyeliner as a beginner with this product. Needless to say, as a beginner, eyeliner is never easy. But it was this product that got me to being the pro I am today with winged liner! It's so easy to glide on, the applicator has a nice thin tip for a thinner line and a thicker body for a bolder look. The pigmentation is great, doesn't smudge or wear all day. However, if you make a mistake it isn't difficult to remove and touch up. It's also extremely lightweight so it doesn't feel sticky or wet. I have no negative things to say about this; I will never use any other eyeliner." —Caroleene
Another promising review: "I gave birth to our son, and after 12+ hours of labor and an emergency C-section — my eyeliner was still fire. When my doctor walked into the delivery room to tell us that C-section was the best option [and after we agreed and were waiting on the operating room], her next comment was, 'Let’s talk about that eyeliner — you look fantastic!!'" —nattieknobs
Get it from Amazon for $23 (available in three styles and eight colors) or Sephora for $12+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
13. An affordable set of makeup sponges reviewers say are a great dupe for much pricier ones. You can use 'em wet or dry, and their uniformly tiny pores ensure even coverage.
Check out a reviewer trying them out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy these. I was using the Real Technique sponges for years and I bought these on a whim after seeing several TikToks praising these. I love these sponges and the price. I apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge and these work better than Real Techniques. They are dense but soft and 'bouncy.' I wash mine between each use and these hold up very well and much better than the RT. Very happy with my purchase and the price. Will definitely continue to buy." —chris
Get a set of five from Amazon for $8.49 (available in four color combos).
14. And a popular facial applicator brush that'll spread your face masks and other skincare products on in a nice thin layer — while keeping your hands from getting messy! Plus, your jars of product will stay nice and sanitary without your grubby little fingers constantly dipping into them. 😉

Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I saw them on TikTok and ordered them right away. I've been using them for months now and they make applying masks so much easier. I get a much more even application than I did with my hands or with other brushes. Extremely easy to use, clean, and store. Love love love!" —Caterina
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $4.39.
15. A versatile matcha-infused moisture stick made with just three ingredients: caffeine-rich matcha powder, organic coconut oil, and organic beeswax. You can dab it anywhere your skin feels dry, whether it's your lips, hands, or face, and the matcha can also help reduce the appearance of dark circles and eye puffiness.
You can see how one TikTok reviewer applies the stick under their eyes, to their cheeks, over their lips, and even on their knuckles here. They also show how they use Cocokind's turmeric stick on targeted areas to unclog pores! Plus, some reviewers say they swipe the matcha balm over their styled brows to keep them in place.
Cocokind is a San Francisco-based small biz that makes truly dreamy, cruelty-free skincare products with sustainability in mind.
Promising review: "This is my first time using the MyMatcha stick and I looovvveee it! I have it on me pretty much all the time so I can dab a little bit on my dry spots as I need to. It softens up my dry areas and even decreases the swelling of my acne! I've used it as a moisture stick, an acne anti-inflammatory, and even a fly-away tamer. It's a great multitasking product." —alizza d.
16. Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask, which keeps lips kissably smooth by trapping moisture to prevent chapping and cracking. Swipe some on before bed and let it work its magic overnight — and don't be surprised if those delicious scents make you hungry!
See one TikToker sing its praises here!
Just apply a bit of this to your lips before you catch some shuteye, and let the vitamin C- and antioxidant-packed formula do the rest.
Promising review: "I love this lip mask! I have always struggled to find a lip product that would keep my severely dry lips at bay and this is the product! I have been using this for the past few weeks and I have never had such plush smooth lips. I wear it at night and sometimes during the day depending on what I am doing. If you struggle with dry lips, I highly recommend you give this a try." —Holly2176
Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $24 (available in five scents).
17. Peach & Lily's Glass Skin Refining Serum if the "glazed doughnut" skin trend that's taken TikTok by storm is what you're after.

Promising review: "I saw this serum all over my TikTok for you page, and I knew that I had to try it out, as their serum is so versatile and can cover and help so many kinds of skin concerns that I've been dealing with since my early teens. And now, ever since using it, I honestly swear by it. If you are considering trying the Peach and Lily collection products, I 100% recommend this serum repeatedly. My skin had never looked this great until I first tried it out. And my face looks so glowy, clear, and radiant." —Natalie Y.
Get it from Peach & Lily, Target, or Ulta for $19+ (available in three sizes — not all sizes available at all retailers).

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Emma Lord says: "TBH, at the start of the pandemic I started using this myself (although this is former BuzzFeeder Kayla Suazo's lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like "OKAY, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS" before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe."
Promising review: "Throughout high school I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok. And trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes.' And the best part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you’re starting out or want to try something new I definitely recommend you try this out." —Liela Lee

Promising review: "This concealer makes me look like I got eight hours of sleep when I'm working on four. Where all other concealers have caked in the fine lines now appearing under my eyes — thanks, thirties — this stuff just glides over them and conceals them too. Total magic." —herhere
Get it from Glossier for $20 (available in 12 shades).

Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $24 (available in four shades).
23. Fenty Beauty's Poutsicle Hydrating Lip Stain, which became so popular it's currently sold out at Sephora — don't worry, you can still find it elsewhere! It goes on glossy and gives lips hydrating, long-lasting color, and many TikTokers say they like dabbing it off after applying for the perfect "just-ate-a-popsicle" tint.
Watch one TikToker test out the Mai Type shade here!
Promising review: "I absolutely love these lip stains. I bought the Mai Type first to see if I'd like it and then went and bought Strawberry Sangria two days later. They are just so pretty and pigmented and stay on for so long. I usually leave it on for a while (like 20–30 minutes) before wiping it off and I just dab it with a tissue to get the excess off. Leaves such a pretty color and doesn't dry my lips out like other lip stains I've tried. Highly recommend, especially for summer." —Emily
Get it from Ulta or Fenty Beauty for $24 (available in two shades).
24. And a six-piece set of high-performance matte lipsticks, because who doesn't love having options? The entire kit will run you less than 15 bucks, but reviewers say they're just as long-lasting as pricier brands, with gorgeous colors to boot!
Watch one TikToker's review here! (FYI, the price of these has gone up juuust slightly since this video was made, but they're still a steal!).
Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick and had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason this lipstick is better than even $20 name brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick

Promising review: "Got this after seeing a recommendation on TikTok. It's been a lifesaver for me. I have dry, red, sensitive, acne prone skin. Most cleansers strip my skin, but not this one. It’s been helping keep my skin clear while not drying it for a few months now. If you have dry skin this is a must!" —L Ashburne
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
28. A refreshing ice roller your face will thank you for when it's sweating buckets on a 99-degree day. Plus, reviewers say it's great for reducing puffiness and firming up baggy under-eyes!

Stick it in the freezer, apply your favorite moisturizer on your face, and then sweep the roller all over for a cold treat that's *almost* as good as a visit from the Good Humor truck.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this product. I wasn't sure how it was much different than rolling any other frozen thing on your body. I'm beyond pleasantly surprised. I've used it for sinus pain, migraines, swollen neck glands, under-eye circles/bags, inflamed acne, TMJ pain, etc. Not to mention, when I used it on my face, it leaves my skin feeling tight and wakes me up in the mornings. It also stays cold for forever but never sweats or leaves water behind. It's like magic. I also bought one for my mom who suffers from nerve damage in her arms and legs. I think it'll really help when she has bad pain days." —Jessica McRee
Get it from Amazon for $16.14+ (available in nine colors).

Promising review: "I purchased Dusk first because I saw it on TikTok. It’s so creamy and easily blendable. Dusk is great for during the day. I purchased Storm second for at night or going out.

31. Or Youthforia's BYO Blush, a light oil that changes color by reacting to your skin's pH level to give you a positively dewy, all-day hue that's totally unique to you. And not only that, it's packed with antioxidants to help hydrate. Cakey skin? I don't know her.

It's also 100% fragrance- and cruelty-free!
Youthforia was founded by Fiona Co Chan with the goal of creating makeup that is also good for your skin — "so good you could sleep in it."
Promising review: "Best summer blush. My two favorite things about this blush are its versatility and its longevity. It always makes me look naturally flushed from being in the sun, even if I've been inside all day 🤭 I like that it looks different on me and my sister, even though we have similar skin tones! And since it's an oil, it's great for wearing to work (I work in food service) since I don't have to worry about it transferring onto my mask or fading before the end of my shift. Love this!!" —Sahrang H.
Another promising review: "First of all, it's everything. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. This is extremely compatible with the glass skin look: It's super dewy but has massive staying power. I put this on at 4 p.m., I woke up at 6 a.m., and it's still on! I originally planned to only wear this on no makeup days as I was worried that, as an oil product, it may lift my makeup underneath. I can say now with confidence it doesn't mess with my base at all. It doesn't feel heavy, is easy to blend, and makes my skin look plump. I've been complimented on my skin, rather than my makeup, with this product on. I generally don't believe in hype, but I see why someone would be excited about this product — there's simply nothing like it, and it does a fantastic job. Looking forward to Youthforia future products!" —Lalita

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I use it at night prior to my moisturizer. It has improved skin texture and overall hyperpigmentation (which was a major issue for me). My previous hyperpigmented acne areas are almost gone, my skin tone is more even, and my acne flare ups are drastically shorter in redness and irritation when this is added. It isn’t drying, doesn’t cause flaking, and I apply it on all aspects of my combo skin. Also know that I have THE MOST sensitive skin on the planet and did really well with this." —CharisLikeParis
Get it from Sephora for $10+ (available in two sizes).
33. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers, because let's be real: Are you remembering to reapply your sunblock throughout the day? ...Yeah, just what I thought. They'll appear clear when your sunscreen is working, then turn purple as its effectiveness wanes, aka you'll know you need to re-up!
See 'em in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use a sunblock it starts to become clear or semi clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." —RGTorque

Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bed head that looked like this!

Another promising review: "My makeup artist used this on my wedding day and I was so blown away with the coverage of my redness.

Mooncat is a woman-owned, vegan, and cruelty-free small business founded by Michelle Lin, who sees nail polish as a "symbol of rebellion" and considers the brand's *gorgeous* products to be "wearable art."
Promising review: "I received my first one in the mail. It was so easy and smooth going on. Two coats later, AMAZING, vibrant, beautiful color. The way the light dances off of my nails, the sun shining off the polish, the prismatic guess have me mesmerized. Yep, I picked two more colors a week later. My daughter is now hooked as well. We love this polish and will be picking out a few more. This is the ONLY polish that we use now." —Johnine L.

When it's time to clean, just pop out the little ball, rinse, and air dry.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

See why one TikToker calls it a "travel essential" here!
It comes with a rechargeable battery!
Promising review: "Absolute must for travel. Hotels and Airbnbs rarely have both good lighting and a good mirror to sit down and do your makeup at. With this guy though, you won't have that worry. The different lights are wonderful for different settings; the mirror is sturdy and lightweight. It does not feel cheap at all, in fact, it is the best travel mirror I have purchased. I am now using this on a daily basis, so I think it was an awesome find, not just for traveling but also for every day! It also is really slim and fits in your carry-on easily." —Alexandra
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in five colors).
