Promising review: "This bronzer looks dark in the tube, but it gives my skin a natural, glowy tan. I love how natural it looks and how seamlessly it blends. It also feels cooling to the skin when applied. I'm fair with an olive/yellow undertone, and 'Baked' is the perfect shade for me." —Jillian
Price: $10 (available in four colors)
Promising review: "This is the best face sunscreen ever! I have acne-prone skin, but I don't break out at all when I wear this! I just went to the beach this weekend and used this on my face and another brand for my body. I ended up getting a sunburn on my body, but my face is completely fine! I’m definitely going to check out their other sunscreens because this saved me from a brutal sunburn." —Target reviewer
Price: $14.99
Promising review: "I love the smell of this shampoo and that it makes my hair looks full instead of flat. If you have fine hair as I do, you will love it. I have sensitive skin, and it doesn't bother my scalp the way some shampoos do." —Cleverscreenname
Price: $11.79 (available in two sizes)
Promising review: "I’m a pianist, so I have to keep my hands in peak condition in order to play well. When I run in cold weather conditions, they get dried out very easily. I’ve been using this lotion for 10+ years because it’s the best at reviving my hands, and it doesn’t have a strong smell. It’s small, so it will fit in any bag or backpack. It will literally save your hands. Don’t bother with the other brands; if your hands are cracked and hurting, get this guy and you’ll be good in no time." —Sam

Promising review: "This is the best face wash I've found in ages. It combats breakouts, wrinkles, and large pores all at the same time. It actually seems to combat issues I have with sunscreens, face masks, and face oils that sometimes make me break out. It's like a guarantee of good skin! I've been searching for a cruelty-free, natural face wash that works well for a while, and this is my holy grail. It smells fresh and floral and leaves my skin feeling clean without a residue. I definitely recommend it." —Arin

Promising review: "This is an excellent foundation that is comparable to much more expensive department store products."
Price: $4.69
Promising review: “This is one of the best primers I’ve used, hands-down. To get the best results, apply to well-moisturized skin and wait three minutes before applying makeup. It goes on super silky and makeup lasts all day.” —theactofstyle
Price: $8 (available in three types)
Promising review: "My teeth are now the same white as my eyes. That's a big difference from the light coffee tinge they were before. Plus it doesn’t strip your tooth enamel. If it’s not working then the stain is much deeper than the surface and requires a dentist appointment for professional bleaching. As for me, I highly recommend this as a noninvasive, low-cost solution. I’m very happy with the results." —lemterz

Promising review: "I have 3B curls, and this was perfect for my hair type. It's the first product that I've tried that actually creates real results. It reactivated stubborn curls, added shine, and give them a silky feel. The conditioner feels super lightweight and doesn't have any of the ingredients that dry your curls out which is hard to find. This is not what I expected for the price at all. I would definitely recommend it for people with similar curl patterns." —ES
Price: $6.99
Promising review: "This is my go-to product! it’s so affordable and you get soooo much product compared to literally every other translucent powder out there. It doesn’t dry my skin out, it smells good, and it does the job of baking!" —Target reviewer
