1. Peach Slices acne spot dots if you're looking for a budget-friendly option that gets compared to trending brands like Mighty Patch. They'll be your BFF when a zit picks an unfortunate time to suddenly appear.
Simply place it over the pimple in question, and it'll suck the gunk out overnight, helping your skin look clearer the next day!
Peach Slices is part of Peach & Lily, a skincare brand founded by celebrity esthetician Alicia Yoon that specializes in toxin-free, vegan beauty products made with recyclable packaging. The company plants a tree with each order, and a portion of its proceeds have gone to to Restore NYC since 2016.
Check out a TikTok of the acne spot dots in action.
Promising reviews: "This brand is so affordable and works just the same as the more expensive brands. I go through them so quickly so this is a plus! I’m generally a picker at my zits, but if I can get to one of these dots in time I save my face a lot of irritation and pain." —Savannah Wilson
"So I have been using these for about a year now. I have tried Mighty Patch and a few others, none I feel really worked or worked as well. This product is MY GO-TO and I have turned so many others to it." —Melodie G

2. A set of three remote-operated flameless candles for anyone who craves the ambiance of candles but is far too anxiety-ridden to actually allow open flames in their home. Why pay three times the price for Luminara candles when you can nab these? They even flicker, making them look pretty convincing!
These require three AAA batteries per candle that will last you about 150 hours.
Promising review: "With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I've always used Luminara, which unfortunately, devour batteries and die after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient affect. The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!" —pandorah
Get the set of three from Amazon for $25.99 (available in four colors).
3. A pack of melamine sponges — reviewers say they're a great and more affordable alternative to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers if you're looking to effectively clean surfaces *without* using chemicals.
Simply add water to these extra thick sponges and watch in amazement as the grime wipes away without leaving damage behind!
Promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95.
4. A pack of two painless, mint-flavored Venus Visage teeth whitening pens designed to give you quick results with just 30 seconds (!) of daily use. Even *years* of stains from things like coffee, tea, wine, soda, and more are no match for this thing, and thankfully it's cheaper than a trip to the dentist or pricier whitening products like Crest Whitestrips.
Promising reviews: "Throw your expensive Crest Whitestrips away! Being the son of a dental hygienist, clean bright white teeth have always been important to me. Though I had my reservations about the whitening pen, it certainly didn't disappoint and works far better than the Whitestrips I've been using for the last several years, not to mention it's a much better deal for your money. I'm a total coffee connoisseur, which has always made having a bright white smile all the more challenging, but the Pen is giving me the upper hand." —Franknsd
"We like these better than Crest Whitestrips and for a fraction of the price! The Crest Whitestrips make my teeth way too sensitive, these work JUST AS WELL and no tooth sensitivity." —Travis Sheveland
Get a pack of two pens from Amazon for $18.95.
5. And a "flossing toothbrush" great for anyone (kids *and* adults) who hates flossing and will do anything to avoid it. Lots of reviewers said it makes their teeth feel clean like they've just gotten back from the hygienist, and others say it's comparable to their expensive electric toothbrush for a fraction of the price!
This toothbrush has a second layer of bristles that are longer and ten times thinner so they can get between teeth and function like floss while you brush for an extra deep clean. Heads up that this shouldn't be a replacement for actual flossing!
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I personally just bought this and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: "I’m a dental hygienist of 16 years and typically use and recommend electric toothbrushes; however, this manual toothbrush is great! My teeth feel very clean after brushing for two minutes, similar to the way they would feel after using my Oral-B or Sonicare electric toothbrush. I’ll definitely purchase again!" —Beth
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.91.
6. A popular set of under $30 wireless Bluetooth earbuds with over 233,000 5-star ratings — many of which argue that they're an excellent alternative to AirPods! They're completely waterproof (you can wear them in the shower!) and come with a variety of different sized silicone earbuds so you can find the perfect fit.
These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of playtime when you're on the go — it'll fully recharge the earbuds in less than two hours.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly vouches for these: "I was able to wear mine comfortably under my bucket hat while I slept on a very rocky bus ride from the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. And while I was out exploring, the charging case easily fit in my coat pocket. I also use these on the reg in my everyday life to listen to Spotify and podcasts, and even talk on the phone. I have to charge them about once a week and always keep them in my coat pocket."
Promising review: "I’ve had these for 6+ months now and they are pretty awesome for $25. Comes with a lot of different earbud sizes, cancels noise well, the sound is actually decent/better than I expected and I’ve accidentally thrown these into the washer and dryer and they still work the same. I was gifted AirPods and honestly find myself reaching for the Tozo buds more often because they’re so much more comfortable in my ears. Definitely will buy another pair if these die on me." —Liubhard
Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors).
7. A cute and inexpensive tennis bracelet everyone will think you spent a ton of money on from a fancy boutique. No one has to know you got it on Amazon for a fraction of the price of a Swarovski!
Heads up that this is cubic zirconia and not Swarovski crystals.
Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters
Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in four colors, three sizes, and two styles).
8. A popular checkerboard throw blanket so wildly plush and soft that reviewers recommend it as an excellent alternative to the wildly expensive Barefoot Dreams throw.
Promising review: "This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5'10 tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven’t experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right. If they updated the designs with more colors and patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket." —JH
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven colors and four sizes).
9. Oversized square sunnies if you crave high-end style *without* high-end prices. These shades look ultra-fab for less than $20, *and* they include polarized lenses with UV 400 protection!
Promising review: "Love these so so much. I wanted the chic Bottega Veneta designer pair, but these look exactly like those for less than $20. Deal of the century. They are comfortable and extremely well-made, and I seriously can’t get over the price. I’m thinking about buying another color because I love them so much." —Kam
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 13 lens colors).
10. Some chunky Sam Edelman ankle boots some reviewers are comparing to Prada's Chelsea boots — except these ones don't cost over $1,000! They do, however, offer stylish thick soles without feeling heavy, and they're super comfy *immediately* so you can skip the break-in period and step straight into the honeymoon.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes loves hers. She writes: "I bought these when my old pair of go-to black boots finally bit the dust after years of use. I wanted something a little more stylish and have always loved the look of classic Dr. Martens, but wasn't ready to drop the money on them. Enter: these beauties. I've worn them for miles at a time all around NYC, and they haven't hurt my feet one bit. I've also worn them in the pouring rain and my feet haven't gotten the least bit wet. I love that they'll go with practically all of my outfits, and every friend I've worn these around have complimented them + asked where I got them. (Most people wouldn't guess they're from Amazon!) I got them in my normal size and they fit just fine, even with my thick wool socks. Highly recommend if you're looking for your new staple boot!"
Promising review: "I'm so happy I bought these! They are an excellent alternative to spending $1,200 on the Prada Chelsea boots. They look basically identical and are ridiculously comfy. Sure you can get other Chelsea-style boots for like $35 to $45 but they are usually super uncomfortable. These just feel so nice. They don't pinch and my foot doesn't slip around inside them. This is my best shoe purchase on Amazon. I'm just so impressed." —Azure Look
Get them from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and 16 styles — not every color is available in every size).
11. An ornate, arched mirror that'll add a baroque vibe to your space (and selfies) and bring a little more drama and elegance into your life. Plus, lots of reviewers say it looks *way* more expensive than it is.
Promising review: "Gorgeous mirror. I’m very happy with this mirror. I got the silver, and it’s very high quality. This is a great price. Other mirrors like this can easily cost upwards of $500. I know because I’d been shopping for mirrors for months before deciding on this one. Very pleased!" —Julie Boga
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in five colors and six sizes).
12. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment to help magically bring your damaged hair back to life with all the body and silky softness you could possibly imagine! If you're looking for salon-worthy results for less than $10, don't sleep on this product that reviewers are comparing to Olaplex, which costs over *three* times more!
Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like.
Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB
Get it from Amazon for $8.40 (available in two sizes).
13. A tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eyeshadow primer — some reviewers think this beats Mac Paint Pot at enhancing and locking in your eyeshadow, keeping it vibrant and in place all day long!
Promising review: "This eye primer is amazing!!! I have super oily eyelids and was getting to the point that I would rarely bother with eyeshadow because even with expensive primers it would be smudged and creased within an hour. So glad I don't need to shell out for Urban Decay or Mac Paint Pot anymore; they don't hold a candle to this and it's so much cheaper." —Chloe
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
14. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence — it offers a gentler and cheaper alternative to many name-brand moisturizers and serums. It's lightweight and can help repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin, helping to heal acne scars, fade dark spots, and smooth fine lines.
It's designed for all skin types, and reviewers love how gentle and effective it is — with many seeing results within the first few uses!
Promising review: "My skin dries out severely all the time, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me, eww!! I resisted for weeks refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month I finally gave in, and boy it is amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer and it doesn't leave a disgusting greasy feel as Vaseline. Take it from a once non-believer, you have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." —Kyoko Ozaki
Get it from Amazon for $17.
15. A LuckyZ lightweight canvas backpack if you want a cute daypack to carry your essentials *and* complement your outfit for school or upcoming travels, but don't wanna add to your already skyrocketing expenses by splurging on a Fjallraven Kanken backpack.
Reviewers report that their 13-inch and even 15-inch laptops could fit inside this bag!
Promising review: "I took this bag on a trip with me, and I swore if it stayed intact I would write a review so here I am. This bag looks flimsy but it’s really durable. I put in my 15-inch MacBook, books, chargers, etc. It was filled to the brim and there’s not a seam ripped off or anything. If you are looking for something similar to a Kanken at a lower price point, this is a very good bag." —Nicky Miller
Get it from Amazon for $27.98 (available in four colors).
16. Or a chic adjustable mini belted pack you can wear around your waist or shoulder when you need some on-the-go storage, but don't wanna lug a backpack or giant bag around. A lot of reviewers (and TikTokers) are comparing to the more expensive Lululemon fanny pack!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has this bag: "I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors."
Promising review: "TikTok told me this was similar to Lululemon, and it’s true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." —Jolie
Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in 41 styles).
17. A bamboo handbag with a similar vacay-chic look to the much pricier Cult Gaia bag. You can even tie on a small scarf if you wanna add a little pop of color!
Promising review: "Cutest summer/vacation/destination wedding clutch ever! Looks like the Cult Gaia purse but without the beads in between each bamboo. Literally one-fourth of the price, so definitely a steal! Dress it up with a scarf and you’re ready to go! I’m 5'4" and got both sizes but decided to go with the small since the large was too overwhelming. Surprisingly roomy, and with a bit of rearranging, it fit my phone, card case, sunglasses, powder and brush, lip gloss, hand sani, EpiPen, bug spray, AND selfie stick! No smell right out of the package, and came with a nice thank you card and small gift." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes).
18. A Simple Modern tumbler with double-wall insulation to keep your hot and cold bevvies at the perfect temp for hours, plus a leak-resistant straw lid to help you avoid any unfortunate accidents. If you've had your eye on the pricier Stanley cup, but don't wanna splurge, this makes for a great alternative.
Multiple reviewers said they find themselves drinking more water when they have a straw.
Promising review: "Please do not run out to Tarjay and waste your money on a Stanley IF you’re only using a cup for ice/cold drinks. This cup is just as good and far more affordable. I put ice in my cup over 24 hours ago during my shift at the hospital, and there is still ice in the cup! This product is BEYOND worth it at this price point. You won’t be disappointed. If the cup isn’t in your cart at this point, I don’t know what’s wrong with you: GET IT! 😂" —Marie
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in a variety of colors). Also available in a style without the handle!
19. And an even cheaper, vacuum-insulated Takeya water bottle capable of keeping drinks ice cold for 24 hours and hot for up to 12 *without* sweating, which is pretty dang impressive — especially for the price! If spending over $50 on a trendy 40-ounce Hydro Flask sounds like a drag, get this instead!
Bonus: You can still plaster it in stickers like so many do with their Hydro Flask!
Promising review: "I purchased this bottle to replace my 40-ounce Hydro Flask. I thought that no other bottle could replace it. Boy was I wrong! This bottle has kept my water cold for more than 24 hours. I love the fact it has a leakproof spout on it. My Hydro Flask had the straw and it didn’t even reach down to the bottom of the bottle. With this bottle I get every ounce of water I filled it with." —Tee
Get it from Amazon for $25.87 (available in more colors and styles here).
20. A luxuriously soft loungewear set a LOT of reviewers claim are comparable to Skims! If you wanna lounge in high end-feeling comfort, but *without* high-end prices — I suggest you give this a try.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" —Jenna
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $54.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 31 colors — not every color is available in every size).
21. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks for under $10 that are a great alternative to the $24 Laneige lip mask you've probably seen trending online. This stuff is great for keeping your lips soft and moisturized even when the air around you is as dry as a desert.
For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams for the entire set. So even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal!
Promising review: "[Alternative] for the Laneige lip mask. This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya
Get the set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six combos).
22. A super comfy and durable double OuterEQ hammock because you'll rest easier knowing you didn't spend $50+ on a single Eno hammock. Put it up in your backyard for the ultimate relaxation spot, or bring it camping or to the park with a good book!
Promising review: "My friend bought me a one-person hammock of this brand for Christmas, and my boyfriend and I loved it, so we went out and bought the two-person one. It folds down really small and is very light. The material holds up nicely. We love it. Definitely would recommend. This hammock is comparable to the Eno brand. I think it is just as good for a fraction of the cost." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 styles).
23. Cushionaire slides lots of reviewers claim are just as comfortable as Birkenstocks (for way less money!) thanks to the flexible cork footbed and supportive, padded insole that'll treat your feet right.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a 3-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price, but gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–12, including wide sizes, and 20 styles — not every size is available in every style).
24. A faux leather double circle belt for anyone who wants a high-end designer look but isn't looking to spend an arm and a leg. This is a great accent piece to take your outfits to the next level!
Promising review: "This is my favorite belt! It's perfect with jeans, and I get so many compliments on it. I love that the double-ring is sort of designer-inspired, but not a complete knockoff of the Gucci belt. I highly recommend! I am typically a medium and the medium was perfect." —Everyday Teacher Style
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 10 styles, plus two-packs).
25. An E.l.f. glitter liquid eyeshadow that's comparable to the much more expensive Stila Glitter and Glow, giving you an extra dose of glam *without* the extra charge.
Promising review: "I love this glitter eyeshadow. I used to use Stila, and this is so much more affordable and easy to spread without spotting. Definitely recommend getting all the shades, it is worth it for a pop of shimmer." —beautyandbeast
Get it from Amazon for $2.99+ (available in eight shades).
26. Essence's Lash Princess Mascara — it defines and separates lashes to give you the bold look you usually need ~falsies~ for. It's designed to last all day — without clumping, flaking, fading, or wearing! Plus, it's less than $5, making it a great alternative to more expensive mascaras like Too Faced Better Than Sex and Dior Diorshow.
Promising reviews: "The best I’ve tried so far and I used Dior, Tarte, Two Faced, you name it. I always have a problem with brand-new mascara because they have too much product on the brush, especially first few uses, and my lashes stick together. I didn’t have this problem with this one. I could layer it without any product starting to fall off or my lashes sticking together. And I love that they don’t test on animals." —Detti
"This product is fantastic; the best I've used in years! And the price can't be beat. It's [leagues] ahead of the well-known brand names that sell for five times as much and more! Just one or two coats gives me length and volume. With the gloppy other brands, I'd given up wearing makeup at all. I have sensitive blue eyes — and did I say I'm old, which adds another layer of sensitivity — and this mascara don't bother my eyes at all, no redness or irritability." —Antonia Albany
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
27. A cute, slightly cropped half-zip pullover you can throw on as an extra layer when the weather gets a little chilly. Plus, reviewers compare the look and quality to a pricier Lululemon option!
Promising reviews: "I saw this sweatshirt advertised by an influencer on TikTok. I was blown away by the quality of this jacket!! It’s super soft and it fit perfectly." —Rebecca Slattery
"Love it. So soft and comfortable. Such a great fit. Totally looks like Lululemon." —ahnjloo
Get it from Amazon for $27.74+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 21 colors).
28. A highly rated pair of under-$15 hoop earrings reviewers compare to Jennifer Fisher hoops that cost *hundreds* of dollars if you wanna skip the hefty price tag without skipping out on style.
29. A set of nice-feeling and long-lasting BestLand high-performance matte lipsticks for anyone who hates winding up with dry lips and smudges. Despite being less than $2 each, these look and feel like those expensive liquid lipsticks you're always reluctantly considering buying. Try this one before you splurge!
Promising review: "What can I say? I saw a TikTok about this lipstick, and for $10, I 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 it dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out — no smudging, and it had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three sets).
30. Eva Naturals' vitamin C serum that could make your skin look radiant! If you can't imagine dropping $180 on SkinCeuticals but are looking for something that could give you similar results, try this under-$20 option instead!
It can help lighten dark spots, fight off wrinkles, prevent UV damage, and increase skin firmness and elasticity. Reviewers say it's *especially* effective for sensitive, acne-prone skin and oily/combination skin types (though reviewers with dry skin report great results too).
Promising reviews: "I absolutely LOVE this serum. I was spending an absurd amount of money on SkinCeuticals products. This serum is way better. My skin is clearer and more bright. The only negative about this serum is the smell. It's awful! I will tolerate it and continue to use it because of its effectiveness and price!" —Tish
"I am a licensed esthetician who deals with hormonal cystic acne that leaves scarring on my sensitive skin. My skin has improved so much since I started using this product!!! For the first couple of weeks, my skin purged out any underlying blemishes but afterward was clearer + smoother than I’ve seen it in YEARS! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! I love that it not only targets my acne scarring with the vitamin C but also soothes the redness with the niacinimide, has retinol, AND helps minimize my blackheads and pore size with the salicylic acid 😭 It is the perfect product for my sensitive oily acne prone skin!" —Jackie
Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two).
31. A cute and ruffled blouse — it ties in the back and is cropped in the front, making it a great companion to high-waisted pants, shorts, and skirts. Before spending way more on similar styles from other brands, give this one a try!
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising review: "I've seen many popular clothing brands and boutiques selling this style of top, but all of them are much pricier. This top is so cute and the material is nice! Definitely worth the price. I found it fit true to size." —Alexandra Samson
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 30 colors — not every color is available in every size).
32. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers have found to be similar to Lululemon's Align joggers. The fabric has four-way stretch to move *with* your body, and a stretchy elastic waistband to ensure ULTIMATE comfiness whether you're lounging, working out, or running errands!
Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors — not every color is available in every size).
33. Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water capable of removing makeup just as effectively Bioderma for much cheaper! Just shake the bottle, pour some onto a cotton pad, and watch the makeup rub right off with no harsh scrubbing!
Promising reviews: "I was skeptical about this product at first but I am so glad I decided to buy it. It really removes my makeup, even waterproof mascara with ease. It has no smell and doesn't leave my face oily. It reminds me of my Bioderma that I got in the UK. And for this price, amazing!" —Kat
"I've been using makeup wipes my whole life because I didn't even know this existed. I saw it in stores but nobody ever told me what this was. This is literally amazing, buy reusable pads and this and you're set for life. I'm really upset nobody ever told me what this stuff was. I don't understand why makeup wipes even exist...this cleanses your face, takes off your makeup. Nobody should not know what this stuff is." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).
BTW, this is our budget pick for the best makeup remover!
34. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges adored by reviewers (over 71,000 5-star ratings!) for being inexpensive, long-lasting, super soft, easy-to-clean, and for giving great results — making them a great cheaper alternative to Beauty Blender and Real Techniques!
Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy these. I was using the Real Technique sponges for years and bought these on a whim after seeing several TikToks praising these. I love these sponges and the price. I apply liquid foundation with a damp sponge and these work better than Real Techniques. They are dense but soft and 'bouncy.' I wash mine between each use and these hold up very well and much better than the RT. Very happy with my purchase and the price. Will definitely continue to buy." —chris
Get a set of five from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in seven sets).
35. A pair of stylisg faux-leather straight-leg pants that are surprisingly stretchy, making them comfy enough for everyday wear. Plus, a pretty similar (and popular) pair from Abercrombie goes for over $100, making these a steal!
Check out a TikTok of the pants in action.
Promising reviews: "Perfect!! Omg, just buy them now! Don't hesitate! These are going to go fast once the word gets out how great they are! They have some stretch to them!" —Amazon Customer
"Literally exact [swap for] the Abercrombie leather pants." —Gabi B
Get them from Amazon for $52.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–4XL and in 19 colors — not every color is available in every size).
36. And finally, LilyAna Naturals Eye Cream — it uses vitamins and organic botanicals to help rejuvenate the delicate area around your eyes as well as name brands like Shiseido and Clinique (without the huge price tag), according to reviewers.
It works to help improve dark circles, puffiness, loss of firmness, sagging skin, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and dryness, leaving you with brighter, firmer, hydrated skin *without* irritation!
Promising review: "Best eye cream I have ever used!!! Better than Benefiance by Shiseido and Clinique or Lancôme, for less than a third of the price with the amount you get. It is rich enough to do the job but not greasy. It doesn't interfere with concealer, yet softens lines. Love it so much!!!!" —Lory Lacy
