I had pores and pimples around my cheeks, I've tried different products but none worked as good as this one. Every night before going to bed, I apply it to my face along with a moisturizer.

    Promising review: "I stopped coloring my hair a year and 3 months ago. Now that my hair is fully grey, my hair stylist recommended I use this instead of another popular brand purple shampoo I was using. This shampoo really brightens grey hair and takes any yellow out after the first time using. You are supposed to use it one to two times a week. My stylist recommended using once a week and mixing some into regular shampoo once a week. I am very pleased with the results. Makes my hair soft and shiny. Highly recommend this shampoo." —Lori J

Covers up blemishes / scarring pretty well; the photos are only the powder (editor's note: See photos above). I really did not notice much transfer to my mask with this powder. Lasted during the day and didn’t fade even when it was hot. Overall affordable powder option, one I can just throw on and go. Pretty satisfied overall. 😊" —Gabby

    Promising review: "I'm a snob when it comes to makeup, and I usually avoid drugstore makeup because of my sensitive skin. However, I find most prestige-brand concealers to be really heavy and dry, so I decided to trust the reviews on this product and try it out. And all I can say is it's amazing! Great coverage that I can sheer out when I need, or build up when I want more coverage. The applicator allows me to spot conceal any blemishes and looks natural. And best of all, no heavy feeling and no caking/creasing even with all-day wear. Now my makeup routine is just this concealer and a MAC setting powder! Highly recommend, now my mom, sister, and I all swear by it, and are saving a lot of money as well!" —Sami Ramesh

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Ali Faccenda loves this mascara and said: "Over the years I've noticed my lashes falling out, and they're not as voluminous and long as they once were (*cries*). This mascara primer has changed all of that. I use it in tandem with the Thrive Causemetics mascara for a dynamic duo that hasn't failed me yet. The primer base adds a noticeable amount of fibers to thicken my thin lashes, which gives me a full-lash look." Read more of her L'Oréal Voluminous Primer Mascara review (it's #10).

    Promising review: "I always found when taking off my mascara my lashes are hard, and the mascara flakes off when I take it off using makeup remover wipes. However, ever since I started using primer, I no longer had this problem. This primer is easy to apply; it's very soft and it's a white color, which I like because you actually can see where on your lashes an extension is happening. This primer also makes my lashes longer, and prevents them from clumping. HIGHLY RECOMMEND." —the queen

    Get it from Amazon for $6.74+ (also available in a two-pack). 

    12. And this top-rated Essence mascara adds major volume to your lashes and lifts them up. If you really want to skip using an eyelash curler, apply this buildable formula to your lashes, give them some length, and be DONE with makeup in minutes.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd swears by this mascara and said: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes, and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It uses a conic shape fiber brush to help the mascara apply evenly without getting too clumpy. Plus, it's cruelty-free!" Peep more deets in her full Essence Lash Princess mascara review.

    Promising review: "Amazing volume and length and for a fantastic price. I highly recommend it if you want eyelashes that look like you could be wearing fake ones! Good staying power as well." —Melissa

    Former BuzzFeed editor Bek O'Connell has this hair treatment and adores it! Read more details in her full Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review (it's #1).

    Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-size dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long, fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie

    Get it from Amazon for $7.85.

    15. This teeth-whitening pen gets your pearly whites in better shape without an expensive dentist appointment. Use this pen for a minute each day to get your teeth four to eight shades whiter and remove stubborn stains. 🦷

    Promising review: "These pens are awesome! They are very easy to use and come with good instructions. I haven’t even used it 10 times yet and I’m already seeing results, so I’m excited to see it keep getting better!! The flavor is a little bit unpleasant but not bad at all and definitely worth it. I also haven’t noticed it making my teeth sensitive at all, which I was a little worried about since I already have sensitive teeth, so I’m glad it’s not affecting that!" —Sami Froemke

    The reviewer above used the shade "Ritual."

    Promising review: "I LOVE this dye. I used as directed on the bottle and it lasted MONTHS. I now have Virgin Pink and it is just as bright as the day I got it nearly TWO months ago. I am so impressed that these vegan, affordable products have beaten out so many salon products. Again, I followed the directions on the bottle *over bleached hair* and wash two-three times a week with Garnier Whole Blends for color protection (in a red bottle). I love Arctic Fox not just for their quality and longevity of the color, but also because it is so easy to use. Just wear some gloves and a towel around your neck and your house should stay clean. Plus it smells like grape bubblegum." —Kelly Sanford

    17. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream brightens under-eye skin and reduces dark circles, so you can look like you got some rest when IRL, you actually stayed up late watching a TV show on Netflix. 

    Promising review: "I’m a working mom of two toddlers and I am 34-years-old. I get maybe 5 1/2 hrs of sleep a night (on a good day) and I always have puffy eyes and this has been a life changer. I noticed an almost immediate noticeable change around my eyes since using this eye cream. I was looking for a more affordable eye cream and found this highly rated one and decided to try it!!! A little of this goes a long way." —Sara Nich

I put a drop or two of oil and overnight it either goes away or is much reduced in morning. A game changer! " —Blume Customer

    This formula, which is designed for curly, wavy, and straight hair types, can be used up to 3 times per week.

    Promising review: "I love this leave-in conditioner for several reasons beside the fact that it works. I have an oily scalp, so coating it in the shower with a product that is basically lotion for your hair is not a true 'clean' for me. I can keep the Sleek & Shine away from my scalp and still have plenty on my hair. The body and shine is great. I have long, fine silver hair and my hairstylist always comments on what great shape my ends are in even after a long time between cuts. A bottle lasts a long time and you can't beat the price. I highly recommend this product for all hair types." —Paula J

    Get it from Amazon for $2.97.

    20. This box of hydrating face masks helps tighten your pores, clear minor breakouts, *and* combat dryness. Don't be alarmed if you start to look like a zombie when you put it on, it's just the mask getting to work on your skin! Once you take it off, your face will feel brighter and more moisturized.

    Promising review: "I was absolutely amazed after using this mask! It made my skin so soft! My pores were barely there, this mask tightened my skin and left it baby smooth! This was only after one use! My makeup went on beautifully and lasted longer. After several uses I can say the tightening effect has really left my skin firmer. The mask made my skin feel slightly itchy as it tightened. However, it did subside and it didn’t irritate my face. I am loving how soft my skin is. And yes it is still making my pores look none existent! Love it, would highly recommend. 💕💕" —Sarah

    21. Keracolor Color-Depositing Conditioner prevents you from spending lots of money on salon appointments to upkeep your 'do. It's semipermanent and helps boost the vibrancy of color-treated strands every time you wash your hair.

    Promising review: "I recently took the red hair plunge, and I was prepared to deal with the constant upkeep because red hair fades so quickly, but then I found this, and it’s unbelievably good! I got Copper, and it’s perfect on my 6rc hair. I use it as a deep conditioner like once a week, and the color stays so vibrant. I don’t have to use freezing water every time I wash my hair, thank God! I tried using it like the directions said, but I felt like my hair didn’t get ‘clean,’ so I don’t use it like a shampoo, but the color, smell, and results are amazing, and I highly recommend it." —beautypot

    Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in two sizes and 19 colors).

    22. This Revlon Volcanic Face Roller absorbs excess oil on your cheeks, chin, and forehead.

    It's also easy to clean: Just twist and unlock the roller's ring, gently pull out the stone part, wash the stone with a gentle cleanser, rinse it off, and let it air dry before using it again!

    Promising review: "As I have oily skin that typically gets worse in the warm weather, I usually buy blotting papers to remove excess oil in my T-zone. Those work fine, but THIS product is absolutely ingenious! Not only does it work beautifully without disturbing my makeup, it’s reusable, easy to clean, and most importantly to me, it is so much more eco-friendly! I highly recommend this to all my oily-skinned beauties out there!" —GodivaRn

    23. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Balm comes to the rescue if your skin is dry and irritated, especially during the spring season.

    Promising review: "I had a terrible allergic reaction to tea tree oil about two weeks ago. Tiny bumps all over my face along with bunches of breakouts and my normally oily skin was so dry — the strongest moisturizers I had wouldn’t keep it moisturized for long. I tried this stuff, and OVERNIGHT basically all the bumps and my breakouts are gone. I have incredibly sensitive skin (clearly), and this stuff feels so soothing on my face and leaves it looking bright. HIGHLY recommend to anyone with sensitive, combination skin. And I’m acne-prone, and this stuff doesn’t break me out. Holy grail, people!" —SH

    24. Mighty Patches absorb all the yucky gunk in your pimples while you sleep. When you wake up, you'll feel really satisfied when you see one of these babies lift pus from your zit that's basically the size of Mars.

    Promising review: "I purchased these for my son, who suffers from cystic acne. He puts them on the pimples at night and in the morning the pimples are dramatically reduced in size and his skin is 'flat' in his words. I highly recommend these to anyone who suffers from any type of acne. They were recommended by another mom on my son's basketball team. Her son was using them and I am so thankful that she shared how great the Mighty Patches are!" —Slade Salisbury

    25. Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence repairs and hydrates areas on your face prone to dryness and dullness. Rub this treatment on your skin to give it a little glow and make it feel more moisturized. 

    Promising review: "This is holy grail for me! It's unscented, which I love, and goes on so smooth. I'm a little backwards with my application, being that after toner or exfoliation I put on a few drops of jojoba oil, and then the essence. I found that by doing this, the products absorb better. Since using this in combination with the Korean skincare method, my face has completely cleared up, with only the occasional zit. Honestly, it's my favorite product and soothes my skin, especially after exfoliating. Highly recommended!" —Anjelic

    Check it out on TikTok here.

    Promising review: "This is the most amazing brush I’ve ever owned. I have thick curly hair, and I feel like it’s able to reach and detangle everything. My daughter has 4c hair; this works really well on her hair and detangles easily. I also really love that this brush can be taken apart and cleaned because my brushes fill with hair really fast, and in all honesty, it was always easier to just get a new brush than sit there trying to clean them. I highly recommend this brush, especially if you have thick and/or curly hair." —ABC

    27. Sol by Jergens Deeper by the Drop Self Tanning Drops combine with your go-to moisturizer to give your skin a sun-kissed glow that's subtle and customizable. It's oil-free, lightweight, and doesn't leave noticeable streaks when you apply it to your arms and legs.

    Promising review: "This stuff works great! I am very fair-skinned and have always had problems with sunless tanners looking too orange on me. I applied in the afternoon and didn’t notice any change in color. I was becoming a bit skeptical, as it says within hours. The next morning, however, I woke up to a perfect tan glow. Not too dark, not orange, just right for a fair-skinned person looking to have a little bit of color without having to spend hours in the sun. I can not comment on how long the color lasts, as this is my first application, but I am very happy with my results and highly recommend." —Stephanie

I wasn't sure this thing could live up to all the hype- but with minimal effort, my hair looked great in about 15 minutes! Love the volume it gave my fine, pin straight hair. Don't do what I did and keep it on your wishlist for a year while you struggle to achieve the beachy wave with your curling iron — just buy it! SO happy I did!" —Jessica

And honestly I didn't think it could be done." —UGdg

    Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

    Mad Rabbit was started by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after noticing a gap in the market for all-natural tattoo care products. The duo pitched their tattoo aftercare balm in season 12 of Shark Tank

    Promising review: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward

    33. This foot file removes dead skin so easily, you'll gasp at your newly soft heels that were once crusty, callused, and cracked. If you'd like your feet to be baby-soft again without paying $$$ for a pedicure, this cheese grater-like tool can help you out!

    Promising review: "I was BLOWN AWAY by this product! I have dealt with calloused, cracked heels for as long as I can remember. Some things have worked better than others in the past, but I’ve been in a rut of bad feet for the past several months. The foot rasp/file/scraper that I had was not even coming close to doing the job, and it is a similar style to this one, so I wasn’t getting my hopes up for this one. Based on the reviews and before/after pics, I had to give it a shot though! I gave it a go before getting in the shower and was just so impressed with how easy to use it was and how incredibly it worked. It took less than 15 minutes between both feet and VERY LITTLE pressure/effort was required. This $11 product gave me better results than most professional pedicures I’ve had!" Khall

    34. And this callus remover gel assists the foot exfoliation process! Soak your feet in hot water for a couple of minutes, slather a thick layer of this solution on heel calluses, keep it on for 5 to 10 minutes, rinse, and grab a foot scrubber to help slough away dead skin. 

    Promising review: "I’m shocked. This stuff really works! It’s the only thing I have found that worked this good and this fast. This was easy. I soaked my feet, then put this on my heels for 10 minutes, then used my pumice and almost all my dead skin was gone. Amazing. And I had really bad heels." —Ilovebling

    Get it from Amazon for $13.87.
