Promising reviews: "I just started to notice fine lines appearing under my eyes, so I ordered this eye cream on a whim and it is SO WORTH IT! Major game changer, I noticed a huge difference not only in fine lines but also in under-eye darkness and puffiness in only one week! Highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone. I have extremely oily skin and I put this all the way around my eye and haven't had any breakouts, not to mention my skin is super smooth, which makes makeup application a dream. 10/10 product, will purchase again!" —Katherine E Brings
"I’m OBSESSED! I always have trouble with eye creams because my skin in general is very sensitive and dry. Usually I get a bad rash or my eyes tear up when using eye creams so I just stopped using them. I decided to give this one a try with all the great reviews and I’m so glad I did! Super hydrating, doesn’t make me tear up, and sits well under makeup! It did instantly hydrate my under eyes with no reaction and had a brightening effect that made me look less tired! Can’t beat the price of this either, definitely worth a try!" —D

2. L’Oréal 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar Hair Treatment works like a treat in eight, yes, you read that correctly, EIGHT seconds to transform fine to curly textures. Think: mirror-like shine and softer-than-soft locks that won't show any signs of a late, late night.
Apply this directly to wet hair, avoiding the roots, massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse. Effort required = practically zero. 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 reviews: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot of breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" —Theressa Hailey
"It does exactly what it says...makes your hair soft, shiny, and cooperative! I have given this to two of my friends ALREADY — one with thick and curly hair, the other with limp and fine hair — and THEY BOTH swear by this product! Just can't think of enough good things to say! I have short bleached hair, so am getting excellent results using less than half as much as they recommend. Buy this stuff — you'll thank yourself later!!!!!" —enamelcamel
Get it from Amazon for $9.87.
3. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer treats *and* defeats dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines that are taking up prime real estate around your delicate eye area. This comes with a built-in sponge applicator so you don't even have to *think* about using another tool when your mind is still on snooze.
Promising reviews: "I swear by this neutralizer! It covers my dark circles incredibly well (and instantly!), and the coverage is still light and never cakey. I love that it dries and sets very fast as well. This will not crease if you are applying it properly on the area. I have tried EVERY under eye-circle product that exists, and this is now my one and only. I can never find it anywhere except for Amazon, and I'm happy that they offer it." —Jasmine

4. Zombie face masks lift sleep-deprived skin and minimize enlarged pores and wrinkles so well, you might give yourself a fright with how incredible your lively new skin looks after just one use and 15 short minutes.
Promising reviews: "I like using this about once a week, when I feel tired or haven't gotten enough sleep, It makes me look a bit more energized and rejuvenated." —Amazon Customer
"I'm 27 and this is my second time purchasing these masks. I use these about once every other week or so. I have seen drastic improvements in my skin. After one use my skin was not nearly as dry and flaky. My face seemed a lot more supple and plump as well. After continued use, I have noticed my fine lines on my forehead are less noticeable and the overall texture of my skin is smoother compared to bumpy looking. I also noticed I don't look as tired even though I'm exhausted LOL. My uneven skin tone has improved and my face has brightened some. I live and work in the city and I think you can tell by my skin appearance but after using these my skin looks fresh, soft, and has a nice glow to it even after one use. I will continue to keep these masks stocked in my vanity." —Rachel

5. Nyx Concealer Color Correcting Palette disguises any evidence of your late-night happy hours that went well beyond midnight. These creamy concealers hit the Ctrl + Z buttons on literally ANY kind of discoloration (read: acne scars and dark circles). And they can be blended with foundations to fix wonky undertones that don't match with your complexion.
The palette features six shades which are light and medium (to camouflage spots that aren't too dark), yellow and peach (to conceal dullness and dark circles), green (to cover redness), and purple and pink (to brighten). The concealers have a creamy, hydrating formula. Apply the color that will conceal the spot that you want to cover and then put your foundation on top of it as usual. NO, you won't have a purple spot or green spot of concealer sitting on your face. Once you apply your foundation, it won't be detectable at all. Happy blending!
BTW, Nyx is cruelty-free!
Promising review: "I've always used concealers that match the color foundation I use. I decided to try the different color concealers and I'll stick with these. They cover the dark circles and redness with perfection." —Debbie
Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (also available three additional correcting versions).
6. Alleyoop's Pen Pal sparks joy (and nostalgia) into your otherwise hum-drum routine. This clever 4-in-1 tool has the ability to create full, wide-awake looks and easy end-of-the-day touch-ups. Plus, it's *exceptionally* great if you're traveling and don't want to carry around a whole makeup bag's-worth of products.
Alleyoop is a woman-owned biz that specializes in a line of beauty built on efficiency. Their makeup and skincare products are multi-functional and designed to save you time (and space!).
I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my 20s that had the ability to transport me back to a piece of stationery I used in sixth grade, but here we are; and here I am using a multitool pen...for my face. I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touch-ups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already-overflowing makeup bag!
Get it from Alleyoop for $18.75 (originally $25; available in three shades).
7. Batiste Dry Shampoo freshens up grease-ridden locks instantly — and as an added bonus, it also creates volume. Pro tip: Spritz this on your roots *before* bed, if you know you're not about to get your optimal amount of hours of sleep in, and let this work the night shift on your oily locks for a serious time-saving solution.
And here's one for dark hair!
Promising review: "This dry shampoo is amazing! I have tried so many brands over the years and was so dissatisfied with all of them that I thought dry shampoo just wasn't for me. To give context, I have a very oily scalp with long, fine blonde hair. Batiste saves the day! I don't like washing my hair every day and this product helps me last two to three days from my last shampoo. It gives good volume and doesn't feel loaded with product. Also, it does leave some white residue, but a blow-dryer on cool gets almost all of this out. I highly recommend this dry shampoo to anyone with an oily scalp! It's amazing for the price and for how frequently I need to use it. And for anyone worried about buildup, I have never had an issue with this dry shampoo and I use it about four times a week." —Laurel Adkins
Get it from Amazon for $11.48.
It was also selected as our low-price point for the best dry shampoos.
8. Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara exemplifies the true meaning of wide-awake eyes, since it lengthens as it coats, while defining your lashes. Clumping, who? Just a lashlift in a tube that reviewers mention is super duper easy to remove.
This instantly gratifying formula is also vegan and cruelty- and gluten-free.
Promising review: "Best mascara EVER I love the wand and how easy it applies on lashes, especially if you struggle putting on bottoms! I usually get irritated wearing mascara as it tends to smudge but this formula does NOT smudge and is very easy to remove! Worth the money its my go-to mascara for now on and it makes my average lashes look so beautiful and full :)" —Sephora Customer
Get it from Sephora for $29.
9. Or! If you're looking to do less while also spending the least Essence Lash Princess Mascara swiftly achieves skyscraper, falsie lashes at such a gaspworthy price, 21,000-plus reviewers haven't been able to shut up about it. Yep, this holy grail sculpts lashes at only $5 a tube, which, if you think about it, is less than a fancy coffee order!
And this is cruelty-free!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd tried this out and raves: "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. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort."
Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect, and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat like wild...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E Weikert
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

10. Live Tinted Hueguard commits to protecting your skin when you're venturing out — but don't have the energy to apply multiple products. With mineral SPF 30, this sunscreen + primer hybrid moisturizes *and* shields skin sans any annoying white cast. And yes, this works for all skin tones to leave your face with a wide-awake, dewy glow.

Promising review: "This has now become my favorite daily sunscreen/moisturizer/primer. They really do mean it when they say 'no white cast' and the product doesn't feel oily/doesn't block my pores. Love the consistency and that you can travel with it — plus it's a 3-in-1 so it saves me a lot of time. Highly recommend!" —Ulta Customer
Get it from Ulta (available in two sizes) or Live Tinted for $32.
11. Esarora Facial Ice Roller depuffs, de-stresses, and wakes up the skin — with the added bonus of alleviating sinus pain and migraine ouchies. Just plonk it in your fridge or freezer and use it across your cheeks, eyes, and head. And for some extra self-care: roll this over a sheet mask in the morning for better absorption and ultra-soothing feels.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about this product. I wasn't sure how it was much different than rolling any other frozen thing on your body. I'm beyond pleasantly surprised. I've used it for sinus pain, migraines, swollen neck glands, under-eye circles/bags, inflamed acne, TMJ pain, etc. Not to mention, when I used it on my face, it leaves my skin feeling tight and wakes me up in the mornings. It also stays cold for forever but never sweats or leaves water behind. It's like magic. I also bought one for my mom who suffers from nerve damage in her arms and legs. I think it'll really help when she has bad pain days." —Jessica McRee
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 11 colors).
12. SoCozy Leave-In Curl Conditioning Spray turns yours *and* your little one's bed head into a bed full of fully rested, frizz-free ringlets. This stuff will gently detangle and restore their tresses, all without the use of harsh and nasty chemicals.
Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. And it's free from parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic colors or dyes, propylene glycol, gluten, wheat, and nuts!
Promising review: "This is the BEST product EVER! I will never use another hair detangler ever again. We use this product daily in my house, my daughter, my son, and I. Both of us girls have long and thick curly hair, and it allows us to brush through our hair with no problems! And my son mostly uses it to style his hair before gel, and because it smells so good! We tried a few products from Walmart, Ulta, and Target, and nothing was good enough. This is now on my Subscribe & Save every month!" —Tamira McLelland
Get it from Amazon for $9.46.
13. Glossier Cloud Paint subtly builds color with a creamy blush for when you want to look kissed and refreshed by the sun without having to, you know, actually see said sun. Plus, this won't feel cakey, either, thanks to the lightweight formula — and its shockingly easy-to-use applicator: your finger.
Promising review: "I am such a minimalist when it comes to makeup. I used to never use blush or bronzer. A simple tinted moisturizer with some concealer and whatever. BUT CLOUD PAINT CHANGED THAT. I absolutely love the color and glow it adds to my face. And it only takes three seconds to put it on. Perfect for a makeup minimalist like me." —Jennifer T
Get it from Glossier for $20 (available in eight shades).
14. Lawless Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Mask perks up your kisser overnight and takes care of chapped lips that are battling dryness and dehydration — without needing a full eight hours to get to work. Packed with shea butter, berry extract, and hyaluronic acid, this stuff supports natural collagen production to plump and soothe as you sleep.
Team up harsh acne medication with fierce winds and you've got the perfect formula for lizard-like dryness. AKA what I'm currently dealing with — especially around my mouth. Enter: the Lawless Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Mask, which has been saving my chapped lips for the past few months. It's cooling, it's soothing. It's thick without feeling tacky. It's hydrating without feeling sticky. And I don't have to do a darn thing except liberally apply it each night and wake up with softer, fuller, less painful-feeling lips!
*And* this is vegan and cruelty-free!
Lawless Beauty is a woman-owned beauty brand from Annie Lawless. She makes clean, nontoxic makeup and skincare that doesn't skimp on pigment or coverage.
Promising review: "As someone who is skeptical about overnight products like this, I was pleasantly shocked and surprised to see results the next morning after my first use! My lips not only felt hydrated and smooth, but definitely looked more plump (without that tingling sensation most plumping products provide, which I don't like!)" —JuliaFromPhilly
Get it from Sephora for $21 (available in three shades).
15. Revlon One-Step Hairdryer and Volumizer Brush handles two jobs in one go and cuts your routine in half so you can achieve silky smooth, frizz-free locks in ~30 minutes. No time to hit snooze? No problem. This gizmo will supercharge your look, so you can look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in record speed.
Folks, one of my favorite quarantine purchases has to be this godsend from Revlon. I've never been much of a blow-dryer — I never had the patience, energy, or the technique for that matter. But then in swoops this 2-in-1 tool to give my hair the glam of Jackie O in just about 20 minutes. I have relatively thick, wavy, shoulder-length locks and I've never enjoyed witnessing a transformation quite like the one I'm able to achieve with this styler. Giving myself a quick, ~salonworthy~ blowout for morning meetings has been my new way to feel a little less disheveled for the day.
Promising reviews: "It's a must-have!!! I'm IN LOVE! I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner. I have fine, shoulder-length hair that is wavy when it air dries. It's not a pretty wave, more like a frizzy mess, so I always dried and used a straightener. It was time consuming, hair was all over the bathroom, and some days I wasn't happy with the results. It was a vicious cycle. Now my hair is done in half the time, it's smooth and I barely lose any hair in the process. I let my hair air dry a little before I use the One-Step Dryer on low and the results are amazing. I could never master the hair dryer and brush technique so this is a game changer." —A. Kyle
"I have 4c African American kinky-coily hair. This dryer cuts my drying and straightening time to just 20–25 minutes! I part my hair in four sections, apply my heat protectant, and use this dryer, and in no time my hair is straightened! This hairdryer is comfortable and practical to use. Highly recommend for Black/AA or textured hair!" —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in five styles).
16. Or! Flexible curling wands help you achieve bouncy, voluminous curls without using consistent heat or precious hours in the a.m. When your hair is damp and moisturized, simply wrap strands around each one and let them ~work their magic~ overnight so you can wake up with soft, easy, natural-looking waves that only look like they got their beauty rest.
Just so ya know, they vary in size so you can pick which is best for your hair length!
Promising reviews: "My hair doesn’t curl. I have used all different curling irons and flat irons at the highest heat but it doesn’t stay. I put these in with a little water and slept in them. It took a little bit to get used to lying on them but I slept fine. I used the biggest rollers so it came out wavy but I loved it. It stayed all day and I got so many compliments. I’m so excited to experiment with them." —Amazon Customer
"Stop searching for the best value for flexi rods cause I did that already and this is it lol. These are shorter than what I expected but I’m now noticing the 'for short/fine hair' description. But I’m still able to wrap the full 24in length around the rods. Comes with plenty of sizes which I love. You don’t need anything but damp hair and a leave-in to your preference." —Mo

17. La Pure Gold Collagen Eye Masks make carrying less under-eye baggage a reality. These little miracle workers are fab if you're experiencing some puffiness due to a lack of zzzs — pat 'em on and forget about them for 20 mins for some cooling and hydrating relief (it's just a bonus that they brighten, too!).
I decided to put these golden gems to the test after coming off of a red-eye flight with practically no sleep. After cooling them off in the fridge (which is what was suggested on the packet), I applied them to my purpley, puffy eyes, and...w-o-w. Not only did I feel like I was receiving some kind of royal treatment (because, gold), but after 20 minutes, my under-eyes appeared brighter and any fine lines that were once lingering had vanished! After wearing these I didn't feel compelled to apply concealer either, which is usually my go-to to disguise dark circles — and I even felt confident enough to go bare-faced for the rest of the day. Now, I find that I integrate these into my routine anytime I want to de-puff and refresh.
Promising review: "I was searching for some really good treatments for my under-eye puffiness and I liked the reviews and ingredient lists for this product. I have used one set a week for three weeks and have noticed a lot fewer puffy/dark areas under my eyes. I use them at room temperature and chilled and find that I enjoy them chilled a lot better. They were also very budget-friendly; I've seen other brands charging a lot more without having as many good reviews. I'm looking forward to more improvements as I use the rest of the product." —Kai Charles

18. Freck Beauty Slimelight redefines the meaning of the term "highlighter" with an out-of-this-world pearlescent formula and cream-like consistency. Stroke this across your cheekbones for an easy-to-achieve, strobe-like glow, dab it around your lids for a pop of shimmer, or mix it in with a moisturizer for a look that'll truly wake up your makeup with little to no effort.
Remi Brixton is the founder of OG faux freckle cosmetic company, Freck Beauty. Her brand is a clean, vegan makeup line based in Los Angeles. Remi, along with her team behind Freck Beauty, is known for creating an attitude, in which she prides herself on creating holy grail products that are made for anyone who: "Cares about ingredients, respects the process, but doesn’t care about the rules."
I consider myself *blessed* to have been able to try out this powerful, feels-so-good-on-the-skin beauty product. It comes in three highly pigmented shades that complement different skin tones. And depending on the occasion, all three really do work for my darker complexion. Big Bang features a green/gold shimmer, Beam Machine a bronze/pink, and Space Face has a violet/purple hue. I like to think Beam Machine is perfect for an everyday glow, Big Bang is for a fancy dinner party, and Space Face for when I know I'm going out out.
Promising review: "Okay, so I bought this because I love a good highlighter. I mean, I want to GLOW. I want to SPARKLE. I want the sun to catch my cheekbone and BLIND people. This does that. Fine glitter is placed into this easy applicable and buildable highlighter. I usually try not to wear foundation and just some highlighter and blush and it plays very nicely with blush too. I apply it with my fingers and it goes on great it probably works well with a brush or sponge too! I love this." —Sephora Customer
Get it from Sephora for $28 (available in three shades).
19. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Fresh Powder Foundation promises up to 24 hours of transfer- and sweat-resistant wear in a neat compact formula (that was made famous on TikTok and goes on like a breeze!). It covers like a liquid and mattifies like a powder for a smooth, shine-free, rejuvenated complexion.
Promising review: "I swear, I'm straight shook! I never believe the hype on social media or even makeup in general, but this product lives up to it. It is lightweight and outperforms my expensive concealers and foundation. I did not receive this product as part of a promotion and I am not being paid to make this review, nor do I work in the makeup industry. This is the real deal." —mmix1423
Get it from Amazon for $12.97+ (available in 20 shades).
20. Youthforia BYO Blush Oil magically reacts to the pH of skin and actually changes color to adjust to different tones. That means anyone who uses it will have their own unique shade of blush! (AKA you can look energized without wasting time trying to pick a shade that works for you.) Plus, its feather-like formula withstands the heat, never feels greasy, and won't clog pores.
It's also made with skincare ingredients so just in case you *gasp* sleep in it, you'll still wake up with good skin! It's suitable for all skin types, fragrance-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small biz that aims to make makeup that's so good for your skin you can sleep in it. The founder, Fiona Co Chan, even tested the blush by sleeping in it for two months! They are passionate about being environmentally-friendly and not using fossil fuels or gross toxins in their products.
Promising reviews: "I don’t wear makeup to work but I still wanted something that made me look alive in the morning and this is it!! I just apply this oil blush with my fingers or a brush and it’s blended within seconds! This gives me a natural flush that lasts a full work day and it’s become my favorite for a natural, everyday look. I have been taking this with me everywhere and has replaced all my powder and cream blushes. I know I will keep repurchasing this product for years. Highly recommend!" —Elena P.
21. Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Super Setter spray secures makeup with a lightweight, waterproof mist that lasts up to 16 hours *with* the added benefit of blurring pores (and any tell-tell signs that somebody didn't get their eight hours) for a truly satin-soft complexion.
Promising review: "This is the best setting spray that I’ve ever used. I’ve tried multiple high-end sprays and they never truly work. My face gets sweaty, especially with the mask, and this spray has helped me the most as far as keeping my makeup in place. The mist is very fine and it smells amazing. I’m obsessed with this stuff." —Sephora Customer
Get it from Sephora for $15+ (available in two sizes).
22. Tower 28's SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray packs a major (and figurative) punch for stressed-out skin with only three ingredients. Think: a gentle hypochlorous acid toner with H2O and sodium chloride that refreshes and rescues sleepy complexions and prevents flare-ups.
Tower 28 is an Asian woman-owned small clean beauty brand designed for sensitive skin. Their products are nontoxic, nonirritating, vegan, and cruelty-free, so you can rest easy when applying.
Promising review: "HOLY GRAIL!! I tried this spray for the first time about a year and a half ago. I had moved from a dry climate to a humid climate and my acne was out of control! I tried so many products before SOS. When I tell you my acne cleared up within a week…. SHEESH! I haven’t been without this spray since! I keep a mini with me at all times and for travel and recommend to all friends with skin concerns. Don’t walk, RUN to Sephora to get it!" —KuhKristen

23. Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer protects your face with a broad spectrum shield of SPF 20, and provides a soft, sheer layer of coverage that treats dryness while still feeling like your actual skin (and not a greasy layer of baked-on makeup). So you can subtly even out complexions that haven't gotten their eight hours.
I can attest that this foundation-alt doesn't draw attention to patches of dryness — it actually does a great job of nourishing your skin as well as providing medium coverage to naturally mask blemishes. I especially love it because I can even out my skin tone in a pinch with just *one* product, instead of having to throw a bajillion things on my face to achieve a healthy-looking glow.
Promising review: "AMAZING! So lightweight and perfect for every day. It literally looks like I am wearing nothing, but I have that extra coverage and it's very buildable. SO worth every penny!" —Sephora Customer
Get it from Sephora for $26+ (available in 20 shades and two sizes).
24. Jill Turnbull Glow Stix define, highlight, and add a touch of shimmer swiftly. These creamy, long-wearing sticks can be applied anywhere you want to add some life to your skin (without putting in a ton of effort). Think: eyelids, cheeks, brow bones, and they can even be used as a lip color for subtle color yet marvelous moisture.
Jill Turnbull is the namesake of the owner and this eco-conscious brand that prides themselves on blue beauty. Translation: Their products are formulated with reef-safe ingredients that are 100% biodegradable, cruelty-free, and go through environmentally conscious production that leaves minimal impact on Mother Earth.
I can attest to the creamy, richly pigmented formula since I was lucky enough to test these babies out. When I'm feeling ambitious with my makeup, I like to dabble in some *light* contouring and these are perfect for that. Now I'm no expert when it comes to beating and baking my makeup, but I do like to add a touch of definition here and there. I use the bronze shade to contour beneath my cheekbones as well as an eyeshadow and the light pink shade is perfect for adding a touch of shimmer to my brow, nose, and cheekbones. They go on smooth and blend in with my skin seamlessly. Plus they're incredibly purse-friendly to carry on the go!
Promising review: "I am completely in love with both colors. Both are twist-up stick making them convenient and easy to apply. And also they are creamy making easy to blend with finger or a brush. And the most important thing your skin will look glowy and smooth." —Krystle
Get it from Jill Turnbull for $32 (available in two shades).
25. Hey Dewy Portable Humidifier combats parched morning skin, dry sinuses, and cracked lips with a whisper-quiet machine that treats skin to an at-home facial. Its soothing mist runs for eight hours and is ideal for overnight use or throughout the day as you work. Skin is left feeling moist, hydrated, and prepped, ready for maximum absorption of your go-to serums and creams.
Hey Dewy was co-founded by Cindy Kang, a Korean-born entrepreneur who spent 15 years in dry, stale offices before dreaming up a portable humidifier that could be used anywhere.
Simply use the included 5-foot USB cord to connect to a power source, then unplug for wireless use.
My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Danielle Healy has the 10.8 ounce humidifier and loves it — she says: "This baby humidifier has genuinely made my life SO much better! For months, I would wake up with my nose and lips painfully dry until I started setting this little guy up on my nightstand while I sleep, and plugged into my laptop on my desk while I work. Not only are my skin hydration levels waaayyy up, but I really enjoy leaning over to feel the cool mist on my face for a few deep, cleansing breaths throughout the day. It's incredibly refreshing and I already know is going to be a lifesaver in a future where travel is a thing. Dry plane and hotel room air is a thing of the past!"
Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors).
