1. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer which will help make sure that smoky eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door.
Promising review: "So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high-end to low — MAC, Lorac, Urban Decay...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. I use this primer and my shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands, if I'm 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

2. A tea tree and peppermint remedy soap with a plethora of uses — it helps improve skin irritations (we're talking dry skin, skin infections, acne, athlete's foot, nourishes skin, ringworm, jock itch, and more!) helps reduce odors, and is just overall nourishing for everyday use. Dare I say we have found the holy grail of soaps?!

Promising review: "I purchased Remedy Soap for my 'tween' daughter who was struggling with horrible armpit and foot odor. I tried everything to help her control this — men's deodorant, alcohol, lemon under her armpits, tea bags in her shoes, washing her clothes in vinegar etc. I was literally at my wits end by the time I came across this product on Amazon. After reading hundreds of positive reviews, I bought the soap with the hope that it would help significantly reduce her foot and armpit odor. To my amazement, it eliminated her odor completely!! She went through a whole day at school, including PE, and came home smelling as fresh as she did when she left that morning. That has NEVER happened this entire school year!! Needless to say, my husband and I are beyond pleased with our daughter's results. We now have the comfort of knowing that she won't have to continue suffering from the embarrassment of unnecessary body odor. I can't thank Honestie Naturals enough for this product. It has truly put a smile back on my family's faces." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in one- or two-pack).
3. A beloved-by-the-internet detangling brush to get through any of those extra stubborn tangles *without* pulling out all your hair in the process.
Promising review: "I purchased this brush three weeks ago and have used it every day. I like the brush so much I ordered three more for my adult daughters. Not only is the brush gentle on my gray hair, but it also feels like I am giving myself a head massage. Also, I appreciate the wide hand base design. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is not always easy to grip an ordinary hairbrush. Plus, the brush is easy to clean. It truly glides through my wet hair." —ANS
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 colors and two-packs).
4. A powerful snail repair cream that may sound a bit off-putting, but it'll help brighten dull skin, fade discoloration, and add plumpness. It uses snail mucin extract and is rich in hyaluronic acid (hydrates) and glycolic acid (stimulates collagen production).
Promising review: "I'm 55-years-old and my skin is a bit sensitive. I don't have a lot of wrinkles, but I'm definitely noticing a few more laugh lines and forehead crinkles than I had a few years ago! I've tried several moisturizers and have not been terribly impressed with any of them until now. This stuff really is great — incredibly hydrating without feeling greasy and it absorbs quickly. It feels great on my skin. In just a few short weeks, I definitely notice an improvement in my skin tone and fewer lines and wrinkles! Plus, the customer service is great. I had questions when I first received the product and got a follow-up response immediately. I will definitely be ordering this product again. I use it in the evening and morning; no need for two different moisturizers. Very pleased!" —sbakey
Get it from Amazon for $20.
5. Essence Cosmetics Princess False Lash Effect Mascara because idk about you, but the thought of putting on fake lashes every day sounds like ~a lot~ of work, especially when products like this exist and can give you the same look with soo much less effort.
6. Elizavecca Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment infused with collagen and protein to help restore your hair. Reviewers are even saying it's comparable to Olaplex (and less than one-third of the price)!
Promising review: "As soon as I put it on my hair it was amazing! It practically detangles itself. Will buy again. ♡" —bibi
Get it from Amazon for $7.12.
Read our review of Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment to learn more about why one BuzzFeeder calls it, "the miracle product I've been searching for."
7. Teeth whitening pens to help you achieve those pearly whites you've always wanted. Simply spend 30 seconds a day brushing these on your teeth and then go about the rest of your life instead of worrying about having those sticky strips sitting on your teeth or a bulky light in your mouth.
You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.
Promising review: "I started using this product less than two weeks ago and can already tell a difference. A friend even commented on a picture of mine asking what app I used to make my teeth appear whiter!😆 I even missed a few days of use when we were traveling. Easy to use and results are noticeable within a short period of time! Will buy this again when I need more! Great price and great product!!" —Andrea6117
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.
8. A cutie octopus-shaped blackhead remover that can fit into all the weird crevices on your face to help exfoliate away anything that you can't reach with any of your other tools (or tbh fingernails). Plus, look how stinking cute this is, why wouldn't you want to have this little guy be part of your beauty routine??
9. SKIN1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks, which may be a little frightening at first — in 10 minutes it tightens your face and makes you look like a literal zombie, hence the name — but the results are absolutely worth it. Once you wash it off you will reveal firmer skin and reduced appearance of pores and wrinkles.
10. Bio-Oil with sooo many potential uses — fading scars, soothing cracked skin, moisturizing without clogging your pores — try it out and you may just discover the next big thing to put it on. Once your friends find out about this it's gonna be like the sisterhood of the traveling oil!!
"OK, so I've never used my bottle of Bio-Oil to specifically treat my rosacea. Yet, I've used it to moisturize my skin in the dead of winter or target super dry elbows and knees. This is gonna be your new fave multi-purpose skincare product. (Psst, a lil' goes a long way.)" —Elizabeth Lilly
Promising review: "I just love the smell of the oil. I mostly buy it because of the smell. I also have a scar from a cyst removal about six years ago that has gotten so much smaller after using this oil on it. Would buy again" —joey
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
11. A callus removing gel so you can quickly and painlessly remove allllll your calluses. Reviewers praise this for dissolving dead skin in ~minutes~ so buckle up, your feet are about to be as smooth as a baby's bottom.
Promising review: "I am so glad I came across this product. So easy to use, and works so fast! I had thick, hard, cracked, dry ugly heels. I used this product and WOW! Clean, smooth like new feet! I have never used anything like this. Always grinding, sanding, soaking, treating my heels. Don’t waste your time. All that does not even come close to my results. I do recommend using gloves. If you have an open crack on your heel it may burn a little. I finally rid myself of embarrassing heels. A product that does what it says, and says what it does. Truly amazing. I highly recommend it." —LAVA LOVER
Get it from Amazon for $11.75.
12. Plus a Mr. Pumice Ultimate Pumi Bar with two sides: the rougher side to help fight off the calluses, and the softer side to smooth out the areas.
"I bought this after putting it in countless stories (like this one!) and, folks, the reviewers are right. This thing is LEGIT." —Elizabeth Lilly
Promising review: "At the shop where I get pedicures I noted that they use these. The dark purple side is perfect for keeping my heels smooth. I live in the desert and go barefoot often so I need something for my feet, but other products didn't seem to be very effective. I use this with a callus gel every so often and this seems to work better than all the other 'pumice' bars, etc. This isn't pumice though, but I never liked the hard pumice stones and they didn't seem to do much anyway." —Desert Rose
Get it from Amazon for $4.18.
13. Or a popular foot exfoliant peel that is both horrifying (!) and satisfying. After wearing the booties for an hour, you will watch layers of skin peel away (over the course of five to seven days) from your feet to reveal a smoothness you haven't experienced since you learned to walk.
Check out a TikTok of the foot peel in action.
With these foot mask "socks," you just slide them onto your feet, leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak into your feet, and you should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days. (With remarkably softer feet in two weeks!)
Promising review: "I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let’s be honest the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet. It came with two soaking uses so I used the second on my sister. 10/10 would recommend!!" —Alma Elias
Get two pairs from Amazon for $10.92+ (available in two sizes, 12 scents and four quantities).
14. A beard straightener designed to heat up in just 30 seconds so you can tame your curly mane without wasting any time. Never thought abut straightening your beard before? Try it once, the look will really ~grow~ on you.
It has three different heat settings to accommodate different beard thicknesses!
Promising review: "Of the three beard straightens I have had, Arkam is by far the best. The cord rotates super easy and stays out of the way. It heats up in seconds which is much faster than the other two. The bristles are made better to prevent burning. As a matter of fact, the bristles are the only part that gets hot. My beard's sides are short while the bottom is long. The Arkam handles both lengths with ease and without burns." —JT Dimmitt
Get it from Amazon for $23.65+ (available in two versions).
15. Some pimple patches you can just stick right on your zit when you feel it coming to nip it in the bud so you don't end up with a freakin' second head growing out of your forehead.
Each patch has 24 microdarts (that are completely pain-free!) which dissolve into the skin to help target pimples that haven't fully surfaced so you can beat them before they fully develop to their most painful state. Each pack includes equal quantities of patches and priming swabs to prep the area before applying the patch.
Promising review: "I have dealt with acne ever since I was a teenager, and although I don't have it as bad anymore in my adult years I still deal with the occasional pesky cystic acne. And let me tell you, IT. IS. THE. WORST. It's painful, it takes weeks to go away, and it makes you feel incredibly self-conscious. I figured since I currently had one popping up I would give this product a try after seeing an ad on Insta. I was not disappointed — these things are not only fun to use but they work FANTASTIC. I noticed a dramatic decrease in the size of that zit, and after two nights it was essentially gone. 10/10 recommend." —richae
Get a set of four patches from Amazon for $14.48 (also available in packs of eight and 20).
16. A leave-in conditioner that will finally detangle your kid's hair without damaging their luscious curls. We know it can be a battle just to have your kid let you brush their hair, so this will help you make the experience less miserable for them (and let's be honest, for you, too).
Promising review: "My granddaughters have long curly hair, and this is the first product that actually worked at getting the tangles out! Their hair was soft and no tears were shed while combing through… which to me is most important! The smell is nice, not overwhelming… over all this is just a great product and I will definitely be buying again!" —Danielle Bustamante
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
17. L’Oréal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water because why use anything else if you could achieve moisture, shine, and silkiness in EIGHT SECONDS?! I mean come on, that seems too good to be true, but the nearly 25,000 5-star ratings prove that this might just be real life magic.
Promising review: "Bought this not expecting that it would work. I've been using products in and on my hair for years, both expensive and inexpensive. This is the best I've used, bar none! It smooths and takes away the tightness of the curls. Will buy it again and again!" —Judith Cohen
Get it from Amazon for $9.87.
18. An exfoliating scrub mitt so you can finally ~effectively~ remove all the dead skin that has been building up on your body for...longer than we might like to admit. Is it gross? Maybe, but is it satisfying? Absolutely.
Promising review: "It was gross seeing all of the dead skin cells that it got off, but my skin feels so much softer after using it for the first time! I will definitely buy again!" —Sandra Eineke
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (also available in a set of two).
19. A weekly reset mask made with hand-harvested Canadian glacial clay, bamboo charcoal, mafura oil, green tea extract, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins to provide a deep cleaning without stripping the moisture barrier. You can even use it if you have sensitive or breakout-prone skin!
Promising review: "I love to mask but have struggled finding the right one for my combination skin. This mask leaves my skin super soft, clear, and feeling really hydrated. It's helping control breakouts without any of the drying effect acne targeting product tends to have. I love it and will definitely be ordering again!" —Katherine B.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $80.
20. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer so you can feel confident that the makeup you just spent a lot of time on will actually stay in place all day. Plus this primer is designed to help reduce the appearance of your pores, so your skin will look extra ~smooth~ and hydrated.
Promising review: "I can tell when I use it — fills in pores and makes a smoother finish. It’s great for the price too. I bought based on reviews and I will buy again." —M. sutphin
Get it from Amazon for $9.50.
21. A pack of facial and eyebrow razors that'll help you gently remove the peach fuzz on your cheeks or pesky eyebrow hairs that you simply cannot catch with your tweezers.
Promising review: "I love 💕 these little razors for all that peach 🍑 fuzz. My face looks so smooth now!!! They’re really easy to use. I had no idea there was such a product! My aesthetician used something similar on my face and I thought 💭 I can do that!! So glad I found it!" —Patti16
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94.
22. Cuccio Cuticle Oil, which comes in a variety of delicious scents to help moisturize your cuticles to prevent dryness and cracking. And to take it a step above other oils, this one is 100% paraben-free *and* made with cruelty-free ingredients!
Promising review: "This Cuccio milk and honey cuticle moisturizer is truly a cuticle saver. Applying one drop to each cuticle and massaging it in completely will leave your cuticles and hands feeling soft, looking great and the smell is divine. I use it on both my hands and feet and I’m comfortable showing my fingernails and toenails this summer because this product has made it so easy to feel confident knowing I won’t have crusty cuticles." —Rina C
Get it from Amazon for $6.42+ (available in three sizes, 12 scents, and packs of two).
23. Plus an instant cuticle remover to help break down the dead skin around your nails so you can have a gorgeous, clean slate for your mani. It's infused with aloe and chamomile to soothe and hydrate the area, too.
Promising review: "I had never tried this before and I am so glad I did. It works great! Within seconds of applying it to my nails, the cuticle becomes soft and I can remove it right away. I used to never remove my cuticles when doing my nails, I guess because I didn't really know how to, but since I started using this product my nails look so good. I'm happy with the product and the results." —ABernal
Get it from Amazon for $6.95.
24. A box of wart-removing pads so you can finally remove that bump that has been tormenting you. All you have to do is apply the self-adhering bandage and prepare to finally rid yourself of the wart.
Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated bandages and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these every day for a week and the next week, my wart is gone. So far it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth." —J
Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in two styles and multi-packs).
25. A setting powder perfect for those of us blessed with oily skin (🙄). It'll help mattify for that shine-free look you're going for.
26. Or a volcanic stone face roller because let's be honest, you've been out and about before, seen your face in a mirror or reflection and genuinely asked yourself how your face looks so ✨shiny.✨ Well, now when that happens you can just whip this bad boy out of your purse and put an end to the shine with a quick swipe.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $12.64.
27. CeraVe salicylic acid body wash designed to help exfoliate and remove dead skin cells using a chemical exfoliant and not physical exfoliants which can be more harsh. Your skin will be left feeling moisturized and calm thanks to the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.

Promising review: "I have very mild KP and was skeptical since I’ve never purchased anything for it. I got out of the shower 20 minutes ago after applying the SA wash and there is a noticeable difference. I rubbed it in circles for about 20 seconds over all my problem areas and can absolutely see it’s helped. I will continue to use and hopefully it gets even better. 13/10 will buy again!" —Lauren G.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
28. And First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant, because even though I promise no one other than you actually notices those little bumps on your arms, you want them gone and all power to ya!! Reviewers with skin conditions like keratosis pilaris swear by this product!

Promising review: "I've recently had a problem with these weird, itchy, acne-like bumps all over my chest and shoulders. I’ve tried tons of washes, creams, treatments, etc. but nothing seemed to be working and then I saw a review of this scrub on TikTok and decided to try it. I shower every morning and take about a fingertip full of the scrub and gently rub it over my chest and shoulders then wash it off, and after a couple of weeks my skin was already getting so much better; and I have super sensitive skin too so I’m impressed it didn’t get irritated. Overall would definitely recommend!" —Olivia Parker
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes and in a pack of two).
29. LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream with powerful, deep hydration to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. This cruelty-free and vegan cream is infused with vitamin C, vitamin E, rose hip seed oil, and hibiscus flower extract to help brighten and firm your skin.
Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." —Lynda M.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
30. OGX Locking + Coconut Curls Air Dry Cream to help hold your curls *without* that dreaded ~crunch~ sensation that many curl creams provide. Apply it to damp hair, scrunch, and go on with your life, couldn't get much easier than that!
Promising review: "I put some in my hair for the first time today and I'm impressed! I towel dried my hair and then put about a quarter size in my palm and spread throughout my hair, scrunched my hair, and then let it air dry. I think it did a good job at defining my waves and eliminating the serious frizz." —ninjamommy
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
31. TruSkin Vitamin C Serum with nearly 75,000 5-star ratings from customers who experienced brighter and firmer skin. A lot of them even noticed a difference within just a few days!
Promising review: "I was looking for an alternative for the Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Serum [a 1 oz. bottle costs $166] and this one did not disappoint. My only complaint is the scent, but it isn’t super strong..." —Pablo & Brittney Cruz
Get it from Amazon for $33.62.
32. Tend Skin Solution so you can finally say goodbye to the razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn that somehow ALWAYS appear after you shave, no matter how much you exfoliate or moisturize.
Promising review: "This product has worked GREAT on my armpits where I had big, painful, inflamed hair follicles for YEARS! I use a Dollar Shave razor now, changed every couple of weeks with Tend Skin after every shower and before deodorant. Miracles! I have noticed less of a difference on razor burn and ingrown hairs in other areas, however." —A User
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes).
33. A scalp massager to soothe your scalp while also exfoliating, removing dandruff, and promoting healthier hair growth. Who knew one little tool could be so versatile?!
Promising review: "I have suffered from dry scalp and dandruff for years. I recently shaved my head and realized just how bad my scalp really was. Red irritated spots everywhere that became very easy to see with my short hair. After using this product along with a coconut oil moisturizer for three days, my scalp is already healing. The product is easy to hold, easy to clean, and feels great on an itchy scalp. I also don’t have dandruff flakes at all anymore. Trust me, you won’t regret purchasing this product!" —Britt
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
34. A smudge-proof eyeliner stamp that will literally put an end to the constant struggle of trying to get your eyeliner perfectly even. Picture this: after three attempts you finally get your left eye to be beautifully lined, only to then spend the next 20+ minutes trying to get the right eye to match only to eventually give up. Once you get this eyeliner, you will n e v e r have to deal with that again!
Psst — this tool is double-sided, so you can choose the thickness of your wing, and comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!
Promising review: "This goes on well and stays well. I cannot wing eyeliner for the life of me and this does it for me!! I just repurchased a second time and it's been almost a year since my first purchase...I use this daily! That means it lasted me almost a year. Can't beat the price point and quality for that! I also enjoy the clean ingredients. :)" —Nickel
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in three styles and a multi-pack).
35. A six-piece set of high-performance matte lipsticks so you can have ~options~ and still pay less than what you'd pay for *one* color of another brand. Don't worry, just because they're inexpensive doesn't mean they are cheap, reviewers are saying they perform just as well as those more expensive brands.
Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason this lipstick is better than even $20 name brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three color variations).
36. A tea tree, eucalyptus, and lavender oil balm that may just be a magic potion in a bottle if you're dealing with any skin issues (we're talking itchiness, scaliness, rashes, ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot, and more).
Promising review : "I have had persistent rashes on my hands since early 2018. I have tried so many creams and medications for almost two years. After four days of use my skin is almost clear, pain free, no cracks, and NO ITCHING. This balm is absolutely amazing. I also used the Puriya Mother of All Creams at the same time and the combo has been phenomenal!" —Alicia Pumphrey
Get it from Amazon for $36.32.
37. NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil, which people loooove as a *much* more affordable alternative to Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk.
Note: the pictured reviewer is wearing the lip liner with Maybelline Peach Buff matte lipstick.
Promising review: "I couldn't believe my eyes after I put this on! This is an exact alternate for Charlotte Tilbury and for only $4, you cannot go wrong! This is a my lips but better shade and so pretty and natural on. It made it incredibly easy to over line and give that fuller lip! I will continue to buy this shade from NYX til I die!" —Erika lee
Get it from Amazon for $4.96+ (available in 12 shades).
38. Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo designed to actually get to the root (see what I did there…like hair roots…) of the problem. This shampoo stops what is causing the dandruff, instead of just trying to treat the symptoms of flaking hair and itchiness.
"It's got over 65,000 5-star rating, and works for more than just dandruff. I get recurring bouts of fungal acne on my forehead, and I recently starting using this at the recommendation of the interwebs (its key ingredient is an antifungal). Every other day, I slather it on the affected area like a wash-off mask, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse off. My forehead looks better the next day!" —Elizabeth Lilly
Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all of my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo
Get it from Amazon for $15.88+ (available in two sizes).
39. Wunderbrow so you can feel confident that the gorg ~faux~ brow you drew in won't come melting off while you sweat or swim.
Promising review: "I love this stuff! I’m one of those people who over-plucked in the past and now can’t get the thick eyebrows I once hated back. It does take practice and a little trial and error to get the perfect brow. I usually keep a cotton swab handy and sometimes have to reshape after I apply. It is waterproof and lasts a few days. I am careful in the shower when washing my face to wash around the brows. After my water broke, I took a shower and applied my Wunderbrow! Lasted through 12 hours of labor and three days in the hospital. =)" —Tiffany Haney
Get it from Amazon for $20.90+ (available in five colors).
40. A pocket-sized, refillable travel perfume atomizer you easily pump from your normal perfume bottle to make sure your signature scent can go everywhere you go.
"^ That's me pumping my signature perfume into one of these travel atomizers I've been using for about a year. As the reviewer down below mentions, it's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and therefore takes up very little room. Plus! It's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one is working so well, that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK about digging into my stores to use one of the remaining three...especially at this price point." —Elizabeth Lilly
Promising review: "These work so great. Love it!!! I put my favorite perfumes in each one. When I wear a perfume I put the matching one to the perfume I’m wearing for the day in my purse. So I can freshen up my scent later! I like to smell pretty all day!!! They are small and compact but hold enough before you have to refill as well." —Nikki

41. A quick-dry top coat because who has time to paint their nails and then sit around for like 20+ minutes waiting for them to fully dry?!
Promising review: "I've bought so many of these! This has to be the number 1 top coat out there! It's durable and oh my gosh so shiny!!! I use it every time I paint my nails, and I'm thrilled with the results. Nothing else on the market compares. Don't waste your money on anything else." —Dawgfan
Get it from Amazon for $8.09.
42. Mane Club One Hit Wonder 10-in-1 spray that will help solve pretty much all your daily hair struggles — it controls frizz, detangles, smooths, protects against heat, boosts shine, prevents breakage, hydrates, softens, strengthens, and conditions. Say goodbye to all the other products you have lying around —this one's got you covered.
Mane Club is a small business based in NYC focused on creating vegan and cruelty-free haircare products.
"I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow-dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends." —Elizabeth Lilly

Promising review: "I LOOOOVE THIS PRODUCT LINE! I use the daily hair food to the hair mask! If you are protecting your hair and maximizing hydration these products will be your best friend!" —Mrs. Cain

44. Rimmel Stay Matte Mattifying Primer to help banish the shine and keep your skin looking flawless for up to eight (!!) hours.
Promising review: "I am not one to leave reviews but this stuff deserves recognition! In my 32 years of life I have never had something that is supposed to control oil actually do its job. From the moment this stuff touched my face, I felt a difference! My face is extremely oily that by the time I walk out the house, my makeup is sitting on top of my face looking caked. This is the first time EVER, I had a primer leave my face matte with makeup on. Although I love my look with makeup, I hate what the oil does so I’m usually limiting my application to eyebrows and under eye. Although this is day one of use, my makeup has been on my face for almost four hours and I have yet to pull out my MAC blot powder or oil control sheet to touch things up. I am IMPRESSED and that is a major compliment considering I’ve literally tried everything on the market and this $5 product surpasses them ALL!!!" —Rosie
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
45. Arnica Bruise Cream for all the clumsy folks out there who can't seem to walk from the fridge to the couch without bumping into something (looking @ my husband). Seriously, how often do you wake up wondering where you got yet another bruise from?!
Promising review: "I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stunt man told me I should use arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after 3–4 days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" —J. Yount
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).
46. Sally Hansen Insta Dri nail polish so you can make sure your mani is still looking fresh without having to invest a whole hour into the process. Sally really ~nailed~ it with this collection.
"This stuff is consistently good. I've been using it for years! It really does dry quick and flat so you can move on with the rest of your life." —Elizabeth Lilly
Promising review: "I'm a mom of three boys and I work fulltime, I do not have time to sit around and do my nails or wait on them to dry. These are great! This is one coat and dried really fast! We will see how long they last as I just did them today." —Nina Klingler
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in 16 colors).
Not ready to give up your holy grail polish? Get a fast-drying top coat instead.
47. Press-on nails that'll give you a ~gorgeous~ mani in under 10 minutes. Who needs overpriced salon visits or artistic abilities when you can just peel and stick these bad boys on?!
"I'm quite adept at painting my own nails (the only time I get a professional manicure is when I want gel before going on vacation), but these press-on nails have me feeling super lazy about painting my nails because they're so easy to use! And that's OK! Each set costs you less than 10 bucks and rather than fool with a bottle of nail glue that ends up anywhere but the nails, each nail has a peel-off plastic that reveals a super sticky surface you press onto your real nail. I find that all the nails stay on about three days when I do stuff like hand-wash my dishes, pet glorious dogs, and scratch many layers of dry shampoo on my scalp. You'll get 30 nails with each set, which helps you find the right sizes BUT I've also found comes in handy when a pointer or middle finger nail pops off (those are the first to go in my experience) so I end up getting about a week's use of wear out of each nail set. Friends have seen me with the nails on and all have believed they're the real deal!" —Elizabeth Lilly
Get them from Amazon for $7.99 (available in other versions here).
48. A 100% waterproof, satin-lined Hairbrella to keep your hair looking just as good as when you left the house, no matter what the weather is outside. Once you're safely back indoors, it conveniently folds into a pouch so you can store it in your bag.
Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016.
Promising review: "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy) and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I'm still learning how to adjust it while it's on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp was on less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain." —Miss Information
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
49. Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 designed with dark skin in mind, because why should you have to deal with a sunscreen that is drying and leaves a white cast on your skin? Now, you don't have to worry about that. This sunscreen is made with natural ingredients to blend into your skin and leave you protected from the sun *and* moisturized.
Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black woman-owned small business whose sunscreen is designed not to leave a white cast on melanated skin. It's ultra sheer, water-resistant, and super nourishing thanks to its all-natural ingredients. Plus, it's cruelty-free! They also make sunscreen for kids with SPF 50.
Promising review: "I’ve tried many, many sunscreens that claim to blend and not leave a white cast when applied. This was so much better than I expected. A nickel-size amount goes a long way and blends into a smooth, dewy finish. I also didn’t notice a scent so there was no worries of walking around smelling like sunscreen." —Target Customer
Get it from Target for $15.99 or from Black Girl Sunscreen for $18.99.
50. ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint so you can have the beautifully colored lips you love without having to constantly reapply like you do with regular lipstick or gloss.
51. COLAB Overnight Renew Dry Shampoo designed to be used the night before to work while you sleep so you can jump right into your morning routine without having to worry about refreshing your hair.
"I have this dry shampoo and it really does work so much harder than regular dry shampoo formulas. When you spray it on, it's more likely to look stark white (don't freak out about it like I did!), but you simply rub it in like you would a normal dry shampoo before you hit the hay. Waking up with de-greased roots definitely gives me a head start on trying to pull myself together these days when, tbh, I'm only (regular) washing my hair once a week. Because this stuff is so potent though, you should really only use it before bedtime. If you're curious about their regular dry shampoos, they're great!" —Elizabeth Lilly
Get it from Walmart for $8.48+ (available in four scents).
52. A stick of Gold Bond Friction Defense so you can finally stop suffering from dreaded chafing that can truly ruin your whole day.
My colleague Ciera Velarde is a huge fan! Here's what she has to say:
"I've used it for about 12 years now and it's the only thing that I can trust to prevent that dreaded chafing after a sweaty day of walking around. It glides on perfectly, it's unscented, and it doesn't melt away when you start to sweat. If it's a particularly hot day out, it can start to fade after a few hours, so just make sure to bring it with you to reapply. In addition to preventing chafing between my thighs, I've also applied it on my arms where my sports bra rubs against them when I run and it works like a charm!"
Promising review: "Whoooo sometimes I feel as if a fire is going to start between my thighs, but with this stuff they just glide right on by each other, it has been a summer life saver. Only thing is you have to pack it on and reapply maybe four hours in, so bring it along for the ride. I will be buying again." —Ash
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
53. Radha Rosehip Oil that'll nourish your skin with antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids to help hydrate and soothe your skin. This amazing concoction will also help brighten your skin tone and banish blemishes. (Cue infomercial voice.) But that's not all! You can also use it on your hair, cuticles, or in your lotion!
Promising review: "This is my nighttime deep moisturizer. I love this stuff! It smells nice but not overpowering (I wouldn't call it scented just pleasant). It does temporarily turn my skin a yellow shade but it fades in a minute. No staining on my skin or clothes. Overall it moisturizes very deeply and my skin looks great! Also it has helped with my acne scarring so that's nice! I will definitely buy it again." —L. Glaser
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
54. BestLan Hair Finishing Stick to tame the breakage or baby hairs that never seem to sit in their place. Say goodbye to constantly trying to blow dry them into place or going over the same section 10+ times with your straightener. With a quick swipe, you'll be looking like you spent hours on your hair.
Promising review: "I’m in love with this product! I have super curly hair that loves to frizz and now I can let it air dry, put it in a bun with no more flyaways thank God! It really isn’t crunchy at all and surprisingly it’s not greasy at all which is perfect for me with the curly hair! You won’t be sad you bought this!" —Karissa Chavez
Get it from Amazon for $5.59.
55. O'Keeffe's Foot Cream designed to help repair even the most cracked and painful heels so you can feel confident wearing sandals again (or sleeping without socks knowing you *won't* rip up the sheets).
Promising review: "I have struggled with dry, cracked, gross feet since I was a teenager. No matter what I did, the skin on my heels was always dry and would crack so painfully that sometimes it was hard to walk. I had just resigned myself to the fact that it could never change. My feet are so, so soft, nearly all of the cracks and rough spots are gone and the last few cracks are almost totally healed. I have been putting this on twice a day and it’s changed everything. If you are on the fence about getting this, get it!!" —Halley B
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available in multi-packs).
56. And a giant foot file just like the one they use at nail salons (except wayyyy more affordable than a full-on pedicure). Now you can remove your calluses and cracked skin from the comfort of your own home.
This miracle worker has got over 13,500+ 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "This thing is pretty amazing. I was skeptical for sure, since I've tried all kinds of lotions, balms, and stone-based products, none of which helped my heels whatsoever. I've worn socks to bed for years, because if I don't the sheets hardly last a week before they have holes rubbed through them. My wife ordered this thing that looks like a mini cheese grater, lol, and after two minutes — two minutes!! — of rubbing it on my heel, it's a complete 180. I never would've believed it until I tried it myself. This is well worth double what it costs." —LBK
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors and a two-pack).
57. A simple ice roller you've certainly seen influencers use all over your FYP. Reviewers love the soothing effects, saying it can help reduce puffiness, headaches, breakouts, and redness! Plus if you do it in the morning the cold burst may even give you an extra jolt of energy.
Promising review: "Thinking about buying another because I cried a lot yesterday and did not want to go downstairs after rolling at evening to put it back in the freezer so it would be available in the morning. Forget the jade, rose quartz, etc...ICE is where it’s at." —Elise
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 12 colors).
58. BYO Blush Oil which is basically magical — it reacts to the pH of your skin, giving you a customized flushed look to highlight your ~natural~ and unique beauty.

Fun fact: All of Youthforia's makeup is designed with ingredients that make it A-OK for your skin to sleep with it on!
Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer
Get it from Amazon or Youthforia for $36.

Add these drops into your fave moisturizer. PS — the more drops you add the darker the shade will turn out!
Promising review: "Works better than all the high-end products I have tried. Would definitely recommend!! It does have a strong 'self tanner' smell, but I personally don't mind that. This picture is after letting it develop overnight." —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $14.65.
60. Glossier Solution that'll help improve the appearance of uneven texture, reduce redness, and shrink enlarged pores for smoother skin.
Promising review: "I have spent years trying to find something that helps reduce the redness and bumps associated with rosacea. My skin is SO SENSITIVE, I had honestly given up even trying to use acne medicines as they just destroyed my skin. Even so, my skin looked terrible. It was so volatile, bumpy, and red. Makeup didn't hide it well, either. In January, I purchased Glossier's three-step cleansing and moisturizing system, and solution. My skin is amazing now. Honestly. I still get a few breakouts, but my once dead and dull, angry skin looks nice even without makeup! It's not fully recovered yet, but it's getting there. Thank you, Glossier!" —Kels 1.
Get it from Glossier for $26.
61. A super-soft Makeup Eraser cloth to remove A L L your makeup by just adding water…yes, even waterproof makeup. How does it make sense? IDK maybe it's magic, but whatever it is, it *works.*
The washcloth has two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and a light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! But for any ~messier~ removals, it is also machine washable.
Promising review: "This did exactly what it claims to do, I use some warm water on a little part and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes and this has saved me so much money. I just throw it in with the laundry and it’s perfect. I’ve been using it for over six months now and it hasn’t failed me at all, it’s worth the money!!" —Sharmin Rahman
Get it from Amazon for $14.14+ (available in 13 colors/patterns).

People are obsessed with the powers of this clay mask — it has over 49,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. It works best when mixed with apple cider vinegar, which you can get here.
Promising review: "I've only gotten to use this one time, but I have to say it's unlike any mask I've used before. I did the apple cider vinegar mix with it and it dried fast and extremely tight. You will hardly be able to move your face. I washed it off after 20 minutes and was shocked to see my clogged pores were much cleaner and less congested. I barely touched my nose and blackheads were coming out, but they were dry and easily expelled from my pores. Sorry for the TMI but I've never experienced that with any product. It was so awesome and my face feels so clean and and free of oiliness. Also my skin looks brighter and smooth, not bumpy. This stuff really pulls the gunk out of your skin, I'm gonna use this once a week and pray it keeps working." —CAROL SILVESTRI
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
64. Thayers Witch Hazel, a 100% cruelty-free toner that'll help soothe, tone, hydrate, and balance the pH level of your skin. You may notice your skin looking smoother and more hydrated after just a week of using it.
It can do a ton of other stuff, too, like reduce redness, soothe irritation, heal cuts, and reduce oil and inflammation.
Promising review: "I buy this when my other bottle is only half empty — that's how much I don't want to be without it. The smell is so good that even if it didn't work amazing wonders on my skin, I would use it just for that. But it does work! Because of this toner, my skin is brighter, more even, and just plain pretty. It feels moisturizing and clean, without giving your skin that tight feeling. I have pretty sensitive skin, but it doesn't burn at all. It tightens pores and helps with all skin needs, whether you break out a lot, are young or old, or have dry or combination skin — it's universal." —Gail Swearngin
Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in eight scents).

Promising review: "I love this product! It's not too rough — it exfoliates well without irritating sensitive skin. It smells and tastes great and leaves your lips smooth. My only complaint is that it's SO wonderful, my mother decided to 'permanently borrow' my jar so I had to buy another one!" –Kindle Customer

Promising review: "I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing, but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I’ve used nearly every product from Anastasia BH, but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." —Bailey M, Deacon
