Hello, beauty fiends, I have some bad news — a bunch of your favorite products might just be expired. Take a look at this handy chart to see which items you really need to replace ASAP. If you find yourself reading it and thinking "OMG, everything I own is old!' fear not — we gotchu.
Check out our suggestions for some fan-favorite beauty products to replace your less-than-fresh ones.
1. SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash."
Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." —Amazon Customer

2. Hanalei Sugar Lip Scrub — an absolute must-have if your daily makeup routine isn't complete without a striking lipstick. This lil' pot will help remove dead skin and keep your pout nice 'n' smooth, which is super important to help your lips recover from wearing lipstick all day and prep them for your next application.
It uses real cane sugar from Maui for exfoliation along with Hawaiian kukui oil to restore moisture to parched lips. Tip: To keep things hygienic (and ramp up the exfoliation), you could use a lip brush like the one pictured above to scoop out and use the scrub on your lips.
Promising review: "This works so, so well for me. I have struggled with dry, chapped lips forever. I have had breakouts of perioral dermatitis that has affected my lips. I am also an anxious lip-biter. Lately I have been trying to take better care of my skin, lips included. This is the first lip scrub I have ever tried. First of all, this stuff smells incredible and doesn't leave a bad taste on your lips. It is super easy to use. And I never see any dry skin on my lips after using it. I have actually been able to wear lipstick several days in a row which I NEVER do, because it always used to dry my lips out and look flaky. I will definitely continue to use this." —Morgan
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
3. Mario Badescu Facial Spray you'll wish you could actually bathe in once you see how refreshing it feels when spritzed on your face — it's made with cucumber and aloe to hydrate and cool you down in the most delightful way.
Promising reviews: "So I’m cheap okay? This spray is my holy grail. After I’ve put on all my moisturizer, I spray this over for extra hydration. Does the job for my oily/dry skin!! I’ve used this for as long as I can remember and my skin is always hydrated. I also love it for when I’m hot, I just spray all over and ahhhhh so refreshing :))" —Vanessa
"Mario Badescu products are high quality products and the price point is reasonable. This particular product is something I always keep on hand at work for a quick facial refresher. The smell and coolness of the spray helps me feel re-energized without being overwhelmed by scent." —
Get it from Amazon for $13.30.
4. Illuminating nail concealer to help you create a chic mani without having to spend half your paycheck at the salon. 💅
Reviewers love how buildable this polish is. Additionally, Londontown is a small business that primarily sells nail care.
Promising review: "I’m not a big review writer but I had to write one about this polish! Now, it has only been a few days but so far it has been the best nail polish I have ever used! I was hesitant because it’s way more than I have ever spent on a nail polish. But it is so worth it. I don’t know why it seems so different but it was easy to apply and looks as good as when I get a manicure. I have never had that when I have done my own nails! So far, I am hooked!" —jenc
Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in four shades).
5. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke's on them!
My colleague Emma Lord is a BIG fan of this mascara. She said:
"Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 35,000 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 ALL the live long day (I spent all of a 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: "I have to be honest, for a 'cheap' three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much." —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
6. Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap infused with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, shea butter and Castile olive oil to help bring a glow to your skin while minimizing blemishes and sun damage.
Promising review: "I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this things works and it works fast!" —puppbear
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99.
7. SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce under-eye circles and puffiness thanks to the glacial waters its formulated with. Added bonus? It's so freakin' cute!!! Who wouldn't want to improve their skin with the help of a lil' polar bear?
Promising reviews: "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.
8. SKIN1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks that'll make you temporarily look like a zombie (though not QUITE as terrifying as the ones chasing down Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us). This entertaining mask will tighten your pores and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles while providing you with the opportunity to take some *very* silly selfies.
Promising review: "Smells great! This face mask does exactly what it says. My skin is nice and lifted, hydrated, noticeable reduction in fine lines, improved texture, reduced my pore size, and eliminated some newly developed rough patches forming around the hairline. Couldn't be more satisfied with this product! I have pretty good skin for 37, but this mask has really helped take my skin to the next level." —Samantha
Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $25.
9. Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil Body Wash jam packed with mint, aloe, and tea tree soap to help banish ownder while also moisturizing skin and soothing common skin irritations (not to mention it also smells DELIGHTFUL thanks to the addition of jojoba oil, coconut oil, and olive oil).

Promising review: "I have been struggling with tinea versicolor for over a year now and have not found anything to soothe the itching/pain that comes with it other than this. I have only been using the body wash for about a week and it’s made an enormous difference! I have tried prescription creams, medicated lotions, etc. but I have never had results like this! Such good stuff. 10/10 recommend." —Blackburn's
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
10. I Dew Care's "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo is benzene-free and will be your savior on the days you simply don't feel like (or, honestly don't have the time to) wash your hair. It's small enough that you can keep in your bag and break it out as needed.
The powder-based dry shampoo works just like spray formulas — apply to the area you're looking to refresh and then shake out excess powder with your fingertips or a brush.
Promising review: "This stuff works better than Batiste at absorbing oil. I have very wavy, fine, greasy hair and I can go an additional day without washing it now." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.
11. Bio-Oil, which reviewers swear by for helping to diminish scars and stretch marks while *also* moisturizing their sensitive skin. It's filled with rosemary oil, lavender oil, chamomile oil, vitamin A, vitamin E, and PurCellin oil to help keep your skin feeling (and looking!) great.
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord was super impressed by this product, she said:
"FWIW re: scars, though, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago, and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night."
Promising review: "I had to have a freckle excised to check for cancer. The wound was very deep and left a scar (the one in the center). The other two scars are actually from the bandages I used to cover the wound. The scar made me self conscious, and I found this online with great reviews. I will say that if I had used it every single day, I think the scar would be completely gone. However, even with using it maybe three or four times a week, the results are amazing! I am very happy with this product. The scent is lovely and light, and I love the consistency. Highly recommend!!" —Alexis Melendez
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
12. Witch Piggy Hell Pore Control, a hyaluronic acid-based pore tightening serum with a playful bottle you won't be able to resist displaying in your bathroom. It helps minimize enlarged pores and will leave you with a fabulous dewy glow.
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 $8.19.
13. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream that'll become your most cherished beauty product — it'll help you out regardless of if your under-eye bags are courtesy of your nocturnal infant or are self-inflicted from staying up waaaay too late watching old episodes of Gilmore Girls again.
Promising review: "I have a newborn so I don’t sleep enough or drink enough water. I was really starting to notice the effects under my eyes. I had dark bags and just looked tired. I put this eye cream on at night with my normal lotion and noticed a big difference in the darkness under my eyes the next morning. Now after I have applied it for a few days p.m. and a.m., my dark circles and bags are almost gone. I may not feel rested but at least I’ll look it!" —Jamie Moore
Get it from Amazon for $13.66.
14. LE GUSHE Under Eye Patches — which I'm pretty sure is what Bruno Mars was talking about when he sang about "24K magic." They're packed with hyaluronic acid and snail mucin to help you banish dark circles under your eyes and leave 'em looking much less puffy.
Promising review: "This is really an amazing product for such a good price, too. These feel so refreshing under my eyes. It’s really relaxing having them on and just letting them do their magic! I don’t have so puffy eyes but I have been noticing slight dark circles lately. Just after using this one time, I can really see a difference under my eyes, and these left my under eyes so soft! You just have to make sure you clean your face very well before use and wash with warm water after use! Absolutely will be buying again!" —Kayleena
Get 15 pairs from Amazon for $11.87.
15. A winged eyeliner stamp if you obsess over makeup tutorials but haven't been able to nail liquid eyeliner just yet. 2024 is the year you FINALLY conquer it.
Promising review: "Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out...but to my surprise I put the left cat-eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye...again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line. I can now do a cat-eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." —LadyMeow
Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
16. CND SolarOil — a must-have for anyone who is tired of cracked, brittle nails and wants to try and fix 'em once and for all.
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
17. Elizavecca Collagen Protein Treatment — it'll revive your hair in case you haven't had a chance to book a salon appointment but your locks need a *quick* fix.
Promising reviews: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product. It left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural or curly hair." —Therese-Claire
Get it from Amazon for $6.68.

18. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pens — apply it directly to your teeth, let it sit a minute or two, hum "My Shiny Teeth and Me" from The Fairly OddParents, and enjoy your fresh-looking pearly whites.
You can use each pen about 20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten 4–8 shades.
Promising review: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.96.
19. A blackhead scrub stick that'll exfoliate your clogged pores and remove excess sebum while also being a bit reminiscent of the adorable lil' character from Finding Nemo that said "you made me iiiink!"
See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok!
Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $11.88.
20. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant which will help you say buh-bye to any unwanted bumpy skin — prepare for your body to feel as smooth as a baby's bottom. 😂
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and Instagram. I decided to try it, and it really works. I used it on my thighs and upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time and even more the second time!!! Fabulous product. Worth every penny." —Launa
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes and a pack of two).
21. Avarelle Pimple Patches that'll *finally* provide you with a mess-free, non-drying option to help you conquer pesky pimples.
Avarelle's pimple patches are formulated with tea tree oil and calendula, which is said to heal and shrink zits overnight. They're packed with hydrocolloid, which is known for sucking up the gunk of pimples that are already draining (yum!). A single pack comes with 40 patches in a variety of sizes to fit any pimple you've got. I personally reach for these ALL the time. I'm lucky enough to really only get one major pimple before getting my period. When that bad boy shows up I simply put one of these patches on overnight and am always amazed by how much it's shrunk down by the morning.
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." —Caitlyn
Get it from Amazon for $7.64.
22. Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Base to keep your carefully blended eyeshadow in place — you can *thank me later* for this precious present.
Promising review: "So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high end to low...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" —Melissa Mae
Get it from Amazon for $11.19.
23. Julep Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick for anyone who has always wanted to make shimmery eyeshadow their *thing* but has never been able to apply it without the glitter getting all over their face. This stick is fantastic as it glides on like a cream but dries as a powder.
Promising review: "This eyeshadow glides on so smoothly, is super cute and sparkly, and does the job. You do not need to be a makeup pro to use this product and make it look good on your own skin. It is easy to blend, is perfectly pigmented and convenient to carry around in your purse. The price point is great and I highly recommend this product if you’re looking for a new, easy to use eyeshadow stick." —Sho
Get it from Amazon for $9.63+ (available in 45 shades).
24. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, which is honestly worth every single penny you'll spend on it. It's very lightly scented, unbelievably hydrating, soothing, and sinks into skin right away. Not to mention the packaging is absolutely gorgeous.
I've been using Charlotte's Magic Cream (in the Disney packaging, hehe) for months now and am such a big fan (I've even got my husband using it as well). I have a toddler and another baby on the way, so my skincare routine needs to be VERY pared down these days. The one thing I've managed to prioritize is to keep up with a moisturizing ritual — and this one certainly does the trick. I never need to use TOO much to cover my face/neck and I love that it sinks in right away so I can rest my head on my pillow immediately after. It's jam packed with skin-supporting goodies like vitamins C and E, rosehip oil, hyaluronic acid, frangipani flower extract, camellia oil, aloe vera, and shea butter. It's truly fantastic and I'll be buying it again and again.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly uses Charlotte's Magic Water Cream, which is similar but seeps into your skin *instantly* making it the perfect day cream option!
Promising review: "This cream has truly changed my complexion and my life! It's worth every penny! It's so luxurious feeling when applying it to my skin and it quickly smooths and blends into my poor dry complexion. I swear I can hear my pores shouting THANK YOU!" —Londie
Get it from Charlotte Tilbury for $65+ (available in three sizes).
25. Nyx Epic Wear Liquid Liner because there's no better time than the present to start experimenting with vibrant makeup — go ahead, apply that electric blue shade! You're going to look fabulous, darling.
Check out a TikTok of the Nyx Epic Wear Liquid Liner in action.
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis, pictured above, is a fan: "I'm wearing the blue liner there on the left, and the reviews are 100% right. This liner LASTS. I love to throw it on top of my usual black liner when I want an extra pop on a night out or am just feeling a little 'adventurous.' The liner's super thin tip glides nicely and makes it easy to be precise, too!"
Promising review: "Guys, I have hella hooded eyes, and any time I tried those expensive Sephora or Ulta eyeliners, they would smudge or fade INSTANTLY. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! The color pops, it's easy to use, and it NEVER SMUDGES, NEVER FLAKES, DOES NOT MOVE IN WATER!!! I fell asleep with it on, and it looked like I had just applied it when I woke up. ... Best eyeliner out there, take it from a girl who has tried ALL of those expensive eyeliners (Stila, Urban Decay, YOU NAME IT). I will never switch to anything else." —Jakjak
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in eight shades).
26. An exfoliating foot peel mask that'll make you feel like a snake shedding your skin — it'll be grossly satisfying to watch the progress and the results will be mindblowing!
Lavinso is a small business!
Promising review: "These foot masks work as stated. You wear the masks (bags, basically) for about an hour. A week or so later, your feet will peel so much they look like zombie feet! Both my daughter and I have used these, so it's not just me. I will say that, depending on the condition of your feet, one application may not be enough. One application did improve my feet about 50%, but I plan to use the masks once a month until the three-pack is gone. That should greatly improve my feet by sandal season! I will definitely purchase again, as needed." —Trisha
Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in three styles).
27. ColourPop "Jelly Much" Gel Shadow you'll apply once and think "dammmmmn girl!, you look good" It's made with a water-based formula that won't crease and beautifully stays in place while *also*providing you with super pigmented color.
Promising review: "I have very sensitive skin, so I was a little scared to try this eyeshadow out. But it worked beautifully and it didn’t irritate my face at all and there wasn’t any fall out of glitter. It also sticks all day and doesn’t completely move if you accidentally smudge it." —IJ P.
Get it from ColourPop for $9 (available in 16 shades).
28. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer reviewers adore because of its lightweight texture and how wonderfully it works to reduce the appearance of pores. You can also count on it to help you apply your makeup smoothly and evenly.
I, like many others (it has over 32,000 5-star reviews on Amazon) have this primer and also agree that it's fantastic! It really does go on my skin so smoothly, I can barely even feel that I've put any primer on at all. My makeup stays on so nicely when I take the time to apply it over it. And at a price like this? Ya can't beat it.
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!!" —Brooks Crim
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in three shades).
29. COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence that’ll have you wondering if Gary the Snail has been the reason SpongeBob has been looking GOOOOOD for all of these years — it soothes damaged skin while also repairing dark spots and improving skin vitality.
Promising review: "Um...WOW! I have used so many products to help with my dry, red, and inflamed skin. During the winter it is so hard to keep my skin moisturized through out the day. Within two days I saw such a huge difference. So calming and gives you a nice, moisturized glow. I feel so much better knowing my skin is healing. I will use this in my routine for the rest of my life!" —Christina A.
Get it from Amazon for $17.
30. Winky Lux Glitter Confetti Balm you'll find simply magical as it goes on clear then blossoms into the perfect shade of shimmery pink as it combines with your natural pH-level so you can apply it on the go.
My sister and I have this fun lil' lip balm and we love it! The glitter in the actual balm is just as pretty as the shade of pink it creates. I like minimal makeup so this product has been a slam dunk for me. The confetti is made with ocean safe glitter! Additionally, Winky Lux is a small business.
Promising review: "This softly shimmering lipstick is so pretty and gives me the perfect shade of lipstick to complement my skin tone. It also moisturizes your lips perfectly." —CarolinaMermaid
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in six styles).
31. Kylie Cosmetics "Mary Jo" Matte Lip Kit because, IMO, no red lip will stay on longer and stronger than one of these bad boys.
I personally have Mary Jo and can attest to the fact it's a PERFECT red lip with an everlasting formula you won't need to reapply all day. The newest iteration is vegan and cruelty-free. 🥰 Honestly, I have an embarrassing number of Kylie Lip Kits — convincing everyone they need to try it *at least once* is the hill I will forever die on. I've just been so impressed with the product since day one! I wore a Kylie Lip Kit on my wedding day and it did not budge. Heck, I've worn one to every wedding or major event I've ever attended! It is THE most reliable lip product I (and you) will ever own.
Promising review: "I love, love, love the lip kit, my absolute favorite! Stays on all day, doesn't dry out your lips, it does the opposite, makes your lips look smooth and hydrated! Also makes your lips look full as if you had fillers!" —Jaxs
Get it from Kylie Cosmetics for $35 (available in 32 shades).
32. Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil you'll love if you haven't stopped listening to "Umbrella" since 2007 and also love shimmer.
Promising reviews: "Very long lasting, I can put some around my eyes or on my cheeks and it will last almost the whole day! I love using this for a night out or just to add a little glitter to my daily look." —rachkhay155
"Very very pretty in the sun, photos, videos with flash, and a night out. Gives a 'glass skin' effect." —amr61
Get it from Sephora for $42 (available in two shades).
P.S. you can grab the face and body Kabuki Brush used to apply Diamond Bomb for $34!
33. Or Physicians Formula Diamond Dust translucent powder, which reviewers compare to the Fenty Beauty's Diamond Bomb highlighter. It's *slightly* more affordable but will help you achieve the same gorgeous glow you've been looking to add to your beauty routine.
Get a side-by-side look at this next to the Fenty Diamond Bomb highlighter on TikTok — the creator applies one to each cheek for comparison!
Promising review: "I love love love my Physicians Formula Diamond Dust mineral powder! I wish I’d known about this before I spent $42 on a Fenty compact that does MORE than I want with the sparkle; this product gives just the right amount of coverage without having it end up all over my face and on my clothes as well. It’s also pretty if you want to bring attention to your collarbones or shoulders. A perfect amount of shimmer with little effort! Try it!! You can thank me later!!" —camielle parent
Get it from Amazon for $11.49.
34. Ouai Wave Spray from Jen Atkin you can quickly spritz all over your hair post-shower for an easy-to-achieve, frizz-free look.
I have naturally wavy (but frizzy) hair and after trying many products, this is where I've happily landed. Ouai is the first brand I recommend to my fellow wavy-haired ladies. It's light, doesn't leave your locks feeling crunchy, doesn't have an overpowering smell, and keeps hair looking fresh. My only complaint is it doesn't come in a massive-sized bottle! Ouai also came out with a curl cream that I'm a huge fan of — it's lightweight and also does the trick (though the wave spray is still my favorite). In the photo above (right) I had literally thrown my head under my bathroom sink, towel dried it a bit, then added the spray and let it dry — not too shabby.
Get it from Sephora for $28.
35. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer to brighten your under-eyes and help you disguise that your Sunday Scaries kept you up way past your bedtime.
Promising review: "I am a makeup snob. I have stupidly high standards for cosmetic performance, and drugstore brands have let me down every single time I've given them a shot. So when I graduated from Covergirl to Sephora after college, I never looked back. My kit is full of Dior and YSL foundation, Armani concealer, Benefit brighteners, etc. But this thing is truly great. The sponge applicator is better than you think. Firstly, it's antimicrobial, so you don't have to worry about the hygiene aspect. Secondly, its ability to blend the product is outstanding. The concealer itself doubles as a highlighter, it looks good without primer, and it lasts so much longer than you'd expect." —Sarita
Get it from Amazon for $7.69+ (available in 18 shades).

36. Olive & June's seven-free nail polish mani system, a must-have for anyone who doesn't want to commit to the semi-permanency of a gel or powder but would benefit from owning all the tools for the making of a flawless at-home mani.
Olive & June is my go-to nail polish brand! It's a small business co-owned by two incredible women who clearly know what they're doing when it comes to manicures. The polish stays on for over a week, and when you purchase the full kit, you'll also find yourself equipped with tools to pull off a flawless mani. The Mani System comes with a cleanup brush, a polish remover pot, a nail clipper, a nail file, a nail buffer, The Poppy (used to hold bottles more comfortably), a glossy topcoat, a cuticle serum, and one nail polish of your choice. My favorite tool is the little brush, designed to help you clean up your cuticles after inevitably getting polish all over 'em.
Note: Since these polishes are 15-free they won't last *as* long as other brands and you may to replace your favorite colors sooner rather than later — but they're absolutely worth investing in.

37. Rhode Pineapple Refresh Daily Cleanser featuring a refreshing green tea extract and pineapple enzyme (soft, clean, skim coming right up!). Your face feel like a fresh summer morning even when the weather outdoors says otherwise.
I've tried out this face wash from Rhode (ya' know, Hailey Bieber's brand?), and it left my skin feeling soft, renewed, and fresh. Definitely keeping it in my morning and night skincare rotation!
Promising review: "Amazing! I tried the sample, and that was so good, so I ordered it for some gifts for friends!" —Mia
Get it from Rhode for $45.
38. Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint that'll be easier than ever for you to integrate into your day-to-day makeup routine — it creates a long-lasting, weightless, buildable lip color you won't ever tire of.
Promising review: "Definitely will stay on your lips longer than your ex stayed in your life. It's not too sheer and not too vibrant, creates that natural look. I did a water scrub test and oh my, it sticks on my skin, it will smudge a bit but it won't make a mess, the smudge will be very light. It has a berry scent and I absolutely love it." —Vy L. Ng
Get it from Amazon for $9.80 (originally $12; available in 12 shades. Find more shades here).
39. Kaja Cheeky Stamp you'll adore for the easy way the blush will blend into your skin and for how freakin' cute the heart-shaped stamp is before you get to blendin'.
It's also cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and phtalates-free.
Promising review: "I’ll be honest, I was a bit skeptical about a cream stamp formula, however, Kaja changed my mind! The formula is super soft and blendable, and gives you the perfect rosy glow. You can use your fingers, a beauty sponge, or a makeup brush (I had great results with all of these applications!). I got shade 06 and, with or without makeup, I felt like it made me look fresh and awake! The packaging is super compact and the heart shaped stamp is super cute. With colder weather coming my way, I want to keep my skin as hydrated as possible and I’d like to minimize my powder products…so this is definitely staying in my product lineup!!" —khealss
Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in five shades) or Sephora for $27.
40. Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner — it'll likely become your go-to product for lazy days where you still want to look *slightly* put together — one quick *flick* and it'll stay put until YOU decide to remove it.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this product:
"I use this (and when I recently ran out, I went back to an old liner I had and instantly regretted it), and I have the greasiest eyelids ever. This has been the best liquid eyeliner ever. Even if you avoid non-drugstore brands, this will be worth the double-digit price."
Promising review: "Eyeliner so easy to apply that the blind can use it! I'm legally blind and do my makeup by feel. Eyeliner is the hardest to do, so I've gone without for years. Decided to give this one a shot based on the reviews and was not disappointed. Came out great and was so easy to apply! So happy to be wearing eyeliner again!" —Lowe Family
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in 12 colors).
41. Aesop Rind Concentrate Body Balm you might want to think twice about buying because it's going to ruin every other hand cream for you — it smells divinely of citrus and is so hydrating you'll wonder if it was hand crafted by Poseidon.
My husband bought this over a year ago and it is actually unreal how well it works. A little goes such a long way (which is why it has lasted him over a year, even with my stealing it from time to time) and it really is quite possibly the most hydrating hand lotion I've ever tried. It's filled with pink grapefruit, orange rind, and lemon rind which gives it a very unique citrusy aroma that everyone should experience once in their life. BRB while I pause writing this post to search for a candle that smells like this...
Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of this product! I have been trying and chucking hand creams for years and this is the first one that has found a lasting place in my handbag. I struggle with very dry hands that feel like they are burning due to the caustic chemicals I work with. This balm relieves the cracks, burning, and dryness that plagues me and leaves baby soft hands that aren’t greasy or slippery. Plus it smells divine!" —pretty.panther
Get it from Amazon for $37+ (available in four sizes).
42. Eight Saints Cloud Whip Vitamin C Face Moisturizer, packed with organic ingredients to help reduce the appearance of sun spots and to ensure the only fine line in your life is the Harry Styles' album instead of ones on your face.
Eight Saints is a woman-owned small business that uses only eight plant-based ingredients in their skincare products.
Promising review: "This is definitely one of my favorite skincare products. I use it every night, and was initially skeptical that such a light cream wouldn't rub off, but it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave behind that oily feeling that some other creams do. It feels fresh and smells amazing — a citrusy smell that's noticeable, but not overwhelming. I have only been using it for a short time, but it's already started to ease the redness around my cheeks and nose. Definitely recommend it, especially for those with sensitive skin." —Kristiana Beers
Get it from Eight Saints on Amazon for $33.
43. Supergoop Glowscreen — it'll protect your skin (hellooooo SPF 40👋) while making your skin shimmer just like Edward freakin' Cullen in the sunlight.
I adore this sunscreen! I'm very fair skinned and prone to getting sunburnt, so I have to stay very on top of applying SPF at all times. This one isn't greasy at all, blends in immediately, and LITERALLY adds shimmery sparkles wherever its applied. I truly don't even mind putting it on — it's a welcome addition to my skincare routine.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this sunscreen. I’m always wary of 'for everyone' tinted products because they aren’t usually made with us in mind. But this one hits the mark. It looks amazing on my brown skin. Non-streaky, no white cast. It gives my skin a subtle shimmer. The video and pics are in direct sunlight so you can see it in full effect. For reference, I have combination, 30-something-year-old skin. Glowscreen is officially in my skincare rotation." —Lovely91
Get it from Amazon for $38.
44. Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 Repairing Treatment, designed to help strengthen all hair types (it treats each strand on a molecular level!) and restore your locks back to a beautiful, shiny, Disney Princess–like state.
Promising review: "I'm so amazed by Opalex No 3! Literally in just one treatment, I noticed a huge difference in my hair. My 3c hair had gotten very dry and damaged and was looking horrible. I can't believe the difference already in just one treatment. The number of compliments I got this week about how healthy my hair looked was amazing! I'm planning on continuing to do a weekly treatment for the next few weeks. It's expensive and I used a third of the bottle for one treatment, but it's absolutely worth it! Nothing else has ever worked this well for me." —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $30.
45. Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer you've likely been eyeing forever now and will be so excited to finally learn what the hype is about. Let me tell you — it'll live up to it.
I can say I've tried out this magical product and confirm it really does work! I'm a mom and therefore no longer sleep (it's super fun) 🙃. Anyways! The bags under my eyes have definitely been a bit more noticeable, so I gave Shape Tape a try. You can see in the photo above (right) how good of a job the product did of masking any dark circles or redness on my face. I'm definitely a fan and will be recommending this to all of my friends (and you, of course!).
Promising review: "I have aging skin, so finding a good concealer can be difficult for many reasons. I have used this concealer for several years and it is wonderful. It stays fresh all day, doesn’t rest in the fine lines around my eyes and when used with its partner foundation, the coverage is superb which I need due to having dark circles under my eyes." —Elizabeth D
Get it from Tarte for $31 (available in 30 shades and also in a travel size).
46. And Yves Saint Laurent Nu Halo Tint Highlighter that'll not only leave your cheeks with a luminous glow but will *also* help them feel more hydrated as its filled with Vitamin E and Jasmine Flower Extract.
