1. An Essence Lash Princess marcara — it might make you want to throw out your falsies. It gives you allll the length and volume WITHOUT the clumps and globs and has shocked reviewers with how full it leaves their lashes looking compared to other more expensive brands. It's a fan fave for a reason!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put no matter how much you sweat, 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: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5 you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." —Kd
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available as a three-pack).
2. A "flossing toothbrush" that has soft bristles infused with silver to help naturally eliminate the buildup and debris that tend to linger on other toothbrushes. The tip of each of its flossing bristles is as thick as a single human hair and reaches between your teeth and under the gum line to help stop cavities before they even start. I think this toothbrush just told my regular toothbrush to take a hike.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."
Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

3. Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots to help your blemishes *poof* disappear overnight. You can stick it right onto your zit to help flatten it, reduce redness, and suck all that gunk out while you get your beauty sleep.
Peach & Lily is a skincare brand founded by celebrity esthetician Alicia Yoon that specializes in toxin-free, vegan beauty products made with recyclable packaging. The company plants a tree with each order, and a portion of its proceeds have gone to to Restore NYC since 2016.
Check out a TikTok of the acne spot dots in action.
Promising review: "This brand is so affordable and works just the same as the more expensive brands. I go through them so quickly so this is a plus! I’m generally a picker at my zits, but if I can get to one of these dots in time I save my face a lot of irritation and pain. I wear them at night and sometimes during the day, only takes about two to get rid of those pesky whiteheads, sometimes more for a big zit. They really suck everything out." —Savannah Wilson

4. A foundation brush — you're bound to love it no matter what your level of experience is. With a perfect balance of soft and firm, it lets you achieve that hard-to-get ~flawless finish~ whether you're blending powder or liquid. Plus, many reviewers mention how user-friendly the bristle design is (especially for beginners).
Check out TikTok of the makeup brush in action.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok. I’m a middle aged woman, so it’s difficult for me to admit that. I. LOVE. IT! It gives a flawless finish with little product. I have a compact foundation that comes with its own applicator sponge. I almost threw it out because I didn’t like the coverage. I tried this brush with it, and it’s perfect! It also comes in a plastic case, which is great because I travel a lot with my work and my other brushes get damaged sometimes." —Thayel M. Caison
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).
5. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment infused with collagen and ceramides to help repair your hair if it is damaged, overprocessed, or has just spent too much time under those strong sun rays.
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "I have tried everything on the market to fix my damaged, bleached hair that keeps breaking off. I stumbled across this hair treatment on TikTok. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I used it for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe how amazing it made my hair feel and look. It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy and nourished. My bleached rat's nest now looks and feels like hair again. Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair. I’m going to buy a lot more of this product. I’ve been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage. Now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair." —Eline

Get a bottle from Amazon for $6.74 (available in two sizes).
6. A set of exfoliating gloves you can use in the bath or shower to gently lather off dead skin and impurities so you come out with ~buttery soft~ skin. The best part? You can choose from three different textures according to your skin sensitivity and since it's on your own hand, you can get specific about the exfoliation pressure!
Evridwear is a small business that specializes in gloves for work, personal care, and weather use.
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite purchases. Not gonna lie, TikTok make me buy this. So I buy it and I’m still a little nervous because it’s literally a glove. 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. My skin had never felt so clean and I questioned how I went 32 years without this." —Brittney
Get a pair from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three textures, six colors, and as sets of two or three).
7. A bottle of nail and cuticle repair oil infused with jojoba oil and vitamin E to help strengthen your nails and soften your cuticles. Perfect for when you're headed out the door for brunch and you notice your nails are looking a little too rough for those mimosa IG Stories that will be posted later.
Promising review: "Found it on TikTok and I’m so pleased with the results. My nails are getting stronger and growing. And the best of all not chipping. Love it." —sidna saavedra
Get it from Amazon for $7.92+ (available in three sizes).
8. A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles so no one at the office starts asking you why you look like a Tim Burton character.
Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a two-pack).
9. A heatless curling rod headband if you want voluminous, Barbie-worthy curls without the need for heat damage. Wrap your hair into it before bedtime, and you'll wake up with locks that give the phrase "I woke up like this" a whole new meaning. 💅
Each set comes with a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. These are designed to work with all hair types, but work best if you roll them with damp hair!
Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors).
10. O'Keeffe's Working Hands hand cream to help restore moisture to dry, cracked, and sensitive skin. It also creates a protective layer on your skin's surface and gives your hands some hydrating relief.
Psst — a lot of reviewers also swear by this for relieving eczema!
Promising review: "I have been using this product for a couple of years now. Several years ago I started having problems with the tips of my fingers and other areas on my hands drying and cracking. The cracks were like small cuts and could become extremely painful. Tried several creams from doctors, and while they helped, you could only use them for short periods. As soon as I stopped, cracking returned. I would often have to wear fingertip bandaids in order to be able to work at all. Saw an ad for this late one night and decided anything was worth a try. So glad that I did. Ever since I began using this the cracking has stopped almost completely. Occasionally I forget to put it on for a short time and the problem returns, but as soon as I start to use the O'Keeffe's cream again, consistently, they disappear. There can be a slight greasy feeling for a short while after applying, but that is a small price to pay for the relief it has provided. I just hope they never stop making it. It works where nothing else did." —P. Neuhoff
Get it from Amazon for $9.89 (also available in multipacks).
11. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors you'll need next time you want to quickly shape your brows or remove any of those other fine facial hairs that you just don't have the time or patience to pluck out one by one. Have no fear — it's super gentle and painless!
It comes with a precision cover to help you shape your brows to the exact shape you want. Or leave them just how they are. Remember, removing facial hair (or any hair) is optional, not necessary!
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows and they're perfect." —Megan Kopicko
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in a pack of nine).
12. Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind concealer with a cushion applicator that makes it easy for you to conceal any blemishes or dark circles before you head out for another day of making the world believe you totally did not stay up binge-watching your latest Netflix obsession.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "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

Get it from Amazon for $7.60+ (available in 18 shades).
13. A foot file capable of making calloused and cracked heels look like you just came fresh from a pedicure. Seriously, it removes more dead skin than you ever thought you could have. Yes, the results look pretty disgusting, but we know you love to see it.
Promising review: "This is the perfect tool to invest in to maintain soft and healthy feet in between pedicures. It has saved me lots of money because I'm able to space out my pedicures more often now. I've found the best results are when I use it after I shower and then I moisturize when I'm finished. I would recommend going easy the first couple of times because it's difficult to know how much callus/skin you're actually removing in the moment. Highly recommend though!" —Nikki Moody
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
14. A delightfully versatile matcha-infused moisture stick — even reviewers with sensitive skin swear by it. It's infused with organic matcha tea powder and coconut oil to help you with everything from hydrating dry lips and skin to reducing dark circles and puffiness.
Check out a TikTok of the matcha stick in action. Cocokind is a San Francisco-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in botanical-forward skincare with an emphasis on both physical and mental health.
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.
15. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges — your Beauty Blender might have just met its match. 👀 It gives you pro-level blending and works for foundation, BB cream, powder, *and* concealer. (Wet or dry!) Sheesh, this sponge makes me feel like a slacker.
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 $5.85+ (available in eight color options).
16. A bottle of Fanola "No Yellow" purple shampoo — you already spend major money to acquire that beautiful blonde look, so why would you let unwanted yellow tones get in the way? This'll cancel out the brassiness and help you keep it looking as good as the hair inspo on your Pinterest board.
Promising review: "I never write reviews, but this stuff is magic in a bottle. I'm a level 7 blonde with high level highlights and hair that loves to pull red. If my hair starts to look brassy I use this and voila — looks like I just came out of the salon again. I'd love it even if it didn't make my hair feel soft, but it does that too! Please don't ever stop making this!" —scooptwins
Get it from Amazon for $9.96+ (available in four sizes).
17. A spray bottle of SoCozy Curl Spray Leave-In Conditioner infused with keratin, vitamin B5, olive oil, and jojoba oil that'll help repair, hydrate, and protect your child's hair. Parents rave about how easy it makes it to brush through their little one's locks and leaves them with soft, bouncy curls! It works on adult hair just as well, so you might just have to use it for yourself now. 😉
Check out a TikTok of the SoCozy Curl Spray in action. This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2a–4c curls swearing by it!
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! Now it is gorgeous soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.69 (available in two sizes and as a two-pack).
18. A set of satin pillowcases — it'll give your bed a hint of ~luxury~. Not only does it look pretty; reviewers say its soft fabric helps clear acne-prone skin and creates less friction on their hair to avoid breakage (which is especially ideal as the cold, dry weather settles in)!
19. A bottle of Witch Piggy Hell Pore Control that deserves its own special introduction because of the name alone. This ridiculously effective hyaluronic acid-based pore tightening serum will give you that coveted dewy glow *without* any breakout-causing oiliness. Reviewers also swear by it for fading dark spots and acne scars!
Promising review: "If I could give this 10 stars I would! Ran out of 'The Ordinary' hyaluronic acid I’ve been using for a year and no stores close sold it so I gave this a try. So glad I did because it’s a thousand times better!! I put it on first, then moisturizer after I put on my primer and makeup and it looks the best it’s ever looked. My pores were smaller in just three days and my skin so hydrated. I have combo skin son my 'T' zone gets awfully oily. The fix is to make sure your skin is hydrated. Also the bottle is twice the size of 'The Ordinary'! This does it all!!! So very impressed." —smnthfinch
Get it from Amazon for $8.21.
20. A reviewer-beloved Mane Club 10-in-1 leave-in spray with a unique formula of cannabis sativa seed oil that makes it the true MVP for all hair needs. Take a look at its resumé: it conditions, detangles, heat protects, prevents breakage, hydrates, smoothens, softens, controls frizz, boosts shine, and strengthens your hair, *and* helps keeps the grease away. Need I say more?
Mane Club is a New York City-based small business established in 2019 that specializes in affordable haircare products.
It's also BuzzFeeder-approved — here's what Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow-drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow-drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days." You can check out Elizabeth Lilly's full review of the Mane Club One Hit Wonder spray for more deets!
Get it from from Amazon for $9.95.
21. A shampoo scalp massager reviewers have raved about because it helped them with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness. It exfoliates your scalp and gives you the glorious, relaxing feeling of a massage ~without~ the spa fees.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I started using one of these a few months ago and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."
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 $5.93+ (available in three colors).
22. Maybelline's Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil with a handy double-ended design. Use the angled pencil side to fill out your brows and then the spoolie brush to blend and diffuse it. It's so long-lasting, it has over 79,000 5-star ratings!
The tool comes with two ends, one a small eyebrow brush and the other a specially edged eyebrow pencil.
Promising review: "This stuff is INCREDIBLE! It takes a little longer to put on, but it looks VERY natural, and lasts a long time. The unique wedge shape gets all the nooks and crannies other liners don’t. I love the convenient mini-brush attached to the end and how it is shaped. I would purchase this just for the brush, although I love the brow liner even more! There is hope for my sparse brows again! PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THIS!!!" —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four shades).
23. A facial applicator brush that'll make your self-care Sunday even more enjoyable because you'll no longer have to end up with messy hands after applying your fave face mask.
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 $5.38.
24. An Onset soap eyebrow kit, which will help you achieve those trendy, fluffy brows in just minutes. Reviewers rave about how well they stay in place, even after hours!
25. Nyx Butter Gloss that has a hydrating, shiny gleam that *won't* hold strands of your hair hostage. The only downside? You'll probably have a super hard time choosing from their dozens of gorgeous shades that range from subtle to bold!
26. A set of durable matte hair clips — if your hair's a little too greasy to get creative with your 'do, hold it back with one of these. You'll be using these comfy little beauties so much, you'll probably have one on your dresser, in your bag, in your car, and under your bed. (How did that get there?)
Promising review: "I will admit I bought these from seeing them on TikTok and I needed new clips for my thick hair. I am not disappointed and beyond glad I got them. The colors are gorgeous and they stay put without hurting my head. I'm very impressed." —Jessica
Get a set of four from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three color combos).
27. An Eos shea butter shaving cream that'll leave your skin *chef's kiss* oh-so-soft! A real game changer for people prone to razor burn, the shea butter in it helps ensure your skin stays moisturized and protected.
Promising review: "I found this on TikTok and decided to try. I have sensitive skin and after using this I had no razor bumps! It’s weird because it doesn’t get sudsy and foamy like regular shaving cream, but this is much more moisturizing and smells great! Will definitely be using from now on." —Luis
Get it from Amazon for $3.97 (available in five varieties, including a sensitive skin version!).
28. A set of natural bamboo charcoal oil-blotting strips so that no drop of oil or sweat dares to ruin your makeup.
Promising review: "I have been searching for something as effective as this for a long time now. I have extremely oily skin. I live in the Caribbean and whether I wear foundation or not, very early in the day my face is covered in oil. Mostly over my T-zone is where I get shiny and oily. So I tried this and it is excellent. It picks up the oil quickly leaving my face naturally matte-like for hours. I am well pleased with the light weight of the sheets, the pack fits perfectly in my purse or jeans pockets. I have no dislikes. I will stock up on it. Anyone will oily skin will find this as a must-have." —Melisa
Get a set of 100 from Amazon for $6.95.
29. Plus a makeup setting spray that'll give your face a beautiful matte shield and protect your glam like a pro.
Promising review: "Love this spray. Like that it's small and portable. It does set your makeup matte, which I love. Keeps my makeup in place all day. I use it pretty much daily when it's summer. It is great for when you travel to anywhere hot and humid and don't want your makeup to slide off." —Tina J.
Get it from Amazon for $9.49 (available in various formulas).
30. A stick of Body Glide anti-chafing balm to apply under your bra or between your thighs so that you no longer feel the need to walk like a penguin after a long day of doing activities in the heat.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I swear by this to the point where if I can't find it in the morning on a summer run, I just won't go out, LOLOL. My boobs chafe SO BADLY under my sports bra bands, no matter what kind I'm wearing, but putting on a tiny bit of this before I leave works like a charm. Absolutely no more friction and no more going "OW OW OW" in the shower because my literal boob wounds were stinging."
Promising review: "This was a TikTok buy and it was worth it. Highly recommend it. It does the work. Long lasting and not sticky at all." —EBATL
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
31. A stainless-steel tongue scraper because, trust me, your tongue has more gunk on it than you think. This useful tool lets you scrape it allll off and instantly freshens up your breath. It works so well, one reviewer even says they can now taste specific flavors they've never detected before!
DrTung's is a US-based small business that specializes in oral care products.

Get it from Amazon for $5.90.
32. A beginner-friendly NYX mechanical eyeliner you'll be obsessed with because you get the best of both worlds. Want it just on your waterline? Don't worry, it'll stay put. Want to smudge it out a bit and live out your My Chemical Romance fantasies? It's got your back.
Check out a TikTok of the eyeliner in action.
Promising review: "If they ever stop making this I will cry and probably buy like 20. It’s a great price and great quality! I recommend it to anyone who will listen lol. Makes a great clean line, or smudges out beautifully with a brush, and stays put either way. It seriously never dries out, never irritates my eyes, doesn’t pull my skin, washes off fairly easily at the end of the day with a gentle cleanser, it’s one of my holy grail beauty products that I’ve been using as a staple for several years now. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND." —Gen
Get it from Amazon for $5.12+ (available in 13 colors).
33. A smudge-proof Maybelline matte liquid lipstick that'll feel like ~nothing~ on your lips while adding a gorgeous pop of color to your face. Plus, you'll be surprised to look in the mirror after an extra long day and realize it's still as vibrant as when you applied it.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "Personally, I absolutely swear by this lipstick to the point that I haven't used anything else in years (my favorite is the muted pink "Seductress"). I'm pretty bad at applying anything matte, but this formula and the applicator make it close to foolproof. It lasts a long time and my lips never feel chapped or dry. I also like that when it does fade, it does it in a gradual way that doesn't look obvious or patchy and require an immediate touch up."
Promising review: "I love this liquid lipstick! It applies so smoothly. It's high pigment, doesn't dry out my lips, doesn't fade, and doesn't smudge! Once it dries, I don't have to give my lipstick a second thought. This is the best lipstick I have ever tried. I have five different shades now. I hope they never stop making this." —Kristn

34. A popular jade roller and gua sha set, which works wonders to reduce puffiness and help firm the skin. Many reviewers also love using it to help them relax and relieve facial muscle tension. Pro tip: leave it in the fridge for a bit and use it while it's cold for even better results!
Promising review: "Honestly I got this after seeing some TikToks about it, I feel like my face gets really puffy and heard this thing helps. I was super skeptical but it wasn’t a bad price so I thought I’d get it. THIS THING WORKS. I’ve been using it for about two weeks now every night after I wash my face and put on moisturizer and it honestly is really sculpting my face. I’ve noticed quite a bit of noticeable changes after using it in the short time. I also get a lot of jaw pain and use it to massage right under my cheeks to relieve tension. Worth it for the price I think and would also make a great gift." —Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors).
35. L’Oréal 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar Hair Treatment that works its magic in eight (!!!) seconds to give dull-looking hair a dose of shine and silkiness. It'll probably make you want to do a dramatic hair flip every eight seconds, and we wouldn't mind it at all.
Apply this directly to wet hair, avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Practically NO effort required. You can use one dose for fine- to medium-textured hair, two to three doses for thick- to curly-textured hair, and add one more dose if you have long hair.
Promising review: "This is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST hair products that I have ever purchased. I will never wash my hair without out it. In seconds my over processed and dry hair felt smooth, soft, and in great health again. It smoothed my rough, frizzy cuticles into shiny healthy looking tresses. Five stars. I will be crushed if they ever stop making this. I can’t say enough good things about this adorable miraculous hair treatment." —Crystal O.
Get it from Amazon for $8.69.
36. A hair thinner and cutter for all those times you've put off stopping by the salon for a trim (same 🙃). This little helper is great not only for cutting dead ends, but *also* for trimming your bangs, maintaining a cut, giving yourself some natural-looking layers, or trimming and styling wigs.
The razor has two edges, a fine tooth one for thin hair textures, and a wider one for thicker hair textures. (FWIW, people also use this on their pets as a quick grooming solution!)
Promising review: "I recently got a pixie haircut, I was hesitant to get one based on the fact that I'd have to get frequent haircuts, the cost of which would add up quickly. I did some research on YouTube and found some videos using the tinkle hair cutter to trim hair in between salon visits. I LOVE this thing! It is easy to give a little trim or a drastic cut, both of which I have done since getting the tinkle cutter. I was very nervous to try it, fearing that I might mess up my hair so I just did a little bit first, but it was easy and only takes off small amounts of hair at a time, remember, I have a pixie cut — if you have long hair it will cut that off! Basically all you have to do is comb your hair in the direction it grows until you're satisfied with the cut. Seven months post pixie haircut and I have only been to the salon once to have a re-shaping done of my hair. I will say that when the cutter feels like it's 'pulling' your hair, it's time to get new razors. I still prefer my pixie cut to be pretty short and assuming I would have to go to the salon once a month for upkeep I have saved $210 since having my hair cut. TOTALLY WORTH IT!" —brandi in louisiana

37. Maybelline's Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush that blends into your cheeks so effortlessly it's likely to become the easiest part of your routine. Plus, many reviewers swear by it as a more affordable alternative to Glossier's Cloud Paint!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable dupe, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I got the Rose Flush shade and enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!"
Promising review: "LOVE this cream blush! Goes on smoothly and looks completely natural and I am in my 60s! WOW! WOW! WOW! I am amazed with this little tube! And the price cannot be beaten! Thank you!!!" —Renee A. Parker
Get it from Amazon for $4.92+ (available in six shades).
38. A podiatrist-level toenail clipper because sandal weather will be here before ya know it. This little guy will help you take care of thicker toenails (as well as those painful ingrown ones!) like nobody's business. Perfect for a DIY pedicure!
Promising review: "I am on my feet a lot and I had two nails that had thickened to the point where I couldn't use the regular nail clippers any more because they didn't open far enough. I had nail scissors but they weren't nearly strong enough. I'm not going to lie — I was getting really self-conscious about them in addition to the fact that my shoes were getting more and more uncomfortable. I found these clippers and tried them out and I couldn't believe how smoothly they cut through my super thick nails. I thought I was going to have to apply a lot of pressure but the blades just slid right through. One of the best purchases I've made in a while!" —Katie D.

39. Eyeshadow color removal sponges for anyone whose nickname should be the "White Rabbit," because you're always running late. This lets you use your go-to eye brush for your whole eye shadow routine by instantly cleaning off even your darkest shades.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful) and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"
Promising review: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
40. An easy-to-use root touch-up that's just as effective as getting it done by a professional but *much* more affordable. Plus, it only take 10 minutes to apply and will give you even coverage for several weeks!
Promising review: "This is my go-to product to save me money so I don't have to go to the salon every month. Buys me a couple of months in between professional coloring. This is really easy to apply and I never have a problem matching whatever shade the salon uses on my hair." —Amanda Scott
Get it from Amazon for $6.62 (available in 13 colors).
