1. This cult-favorite vitamin C serum targets multiple skincare concerns at the same time and is like a facial in a bottle. It'll help minimize hyperpigmentation, brighten dull areas, and soften skin. More than 70,000+ people on Amazon gave it a 5-star rating for its jaw-dropping results.
Promising review: "This serum works wonders on my skin. I had slight hyperpigmentation on my face, and I do have acne scars; my skin looked dull and lacked moisture. After I applied this serum every day in the morning, my skin looks so much better than before. My pigmentation is reduced; my skin looks fresh and moisturized. I am very happy with my purchase, and I highly recommend this to buy." —Kavita

2. L'Oréal Voluminous Primer Mascara turns up the drama without pricey extensions or stubborn falsies. It contains fibers that help lengthen lashes, doesn't make lash hairs feel stiff, and goes on white, so you can seamlessly apply mascara right after.
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

3. 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.

4. This collagen-coating hair treatment coats dry and damaged strands that have undergone lots of coloring and hot tool sessions. Shampoo your hair, squirt a small amount into your hands and work through sections, and rinse it out after 5 to 20 minutes to make your do softer and shinier.
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 $7.84.

Promising review: "Fantastic primer! I only need to apply a small amount of this to get smooth and pore-less looking skin. I spread on a very thin layer under my liquid foundation and notice a real difference in how long my makeup lasts as well as how smooth it looks. I am almost 40 years old with dry skin. This primer fills in any lines or texture creating the perfect canvas for the rest of my makeup. I have tried countless face primers of every price point and this is one of my favorites for sure."—MakeupMatters

Promising review: "My forearms have always been rough and red. I used this for the first time tonight, just my hand rubbing it over my arms in the shower. I asked my teenage daughter to touch my arms and she asked me if I shaved them. That's how smooth they are. I highly recommend for the fact that it made my arms smooth for the first time in like 30 years." —Kindle Customer

I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle Gill

8. Garnier Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream moisturizes strands *and* helps minimize breakage. This hydrating formula goes deep into dry hair follicles and nourishes them with argan oil. The result? Less frizz, a smoother texture, and better ends before it's time for your next haircut.
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.

Promising review: "I had seen several reviews on TikTok about this product and I decided to try it for myself and see how good it was as they said. 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. And wow, I am not kidding, the next day you can already see how the redness is fading away and any recent pimples start to get smaller, as well as my pores on my cheek area! I had not seen a difference that fast with other popular products, but this one did. I highly recommend, it really does improves your skin and it looks more healthy and glowing. In my opinion 10/10 :)" —Mariel Garza

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

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

17. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patches cover blemishes, so you can stop picking and touching pimples on your face. Place one of these babies on a zit overnight and let it lift all the gunk out. No more popping or squeezing breakouts whenever your skin is inflamed or using a ton of products to get rid of 'em.
Promising review: "Pretty much the greatest enemy your pimples will ever have. These patches are fantastic and I wish I'd discovered them sooner. They suck the gross life juice out of pimples and help them heal more quickly and cleanly; they've probably cut the life of most of my pimples in half at least. They are also a great way to keep myself from picking, a bad habit which only makes pimples worse. They are very easy to use and, in my opinion, a great low-cost option. The one thing I will say: I have found they only work successfully on pimples with heads. Any big nodules that don't have a discernible head aren't likely to be affected by these. Still, I recommend these to everyone who ever complains about an annoying pimple!" —Jen Kenworthy

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

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

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
