1. An easy-to-use, portable makeup-correcting stick so you can do little touch ups and fixes without having to wipe everything off and start over!
Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using Q-tips dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" —Katherine
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
2. A magnetic lash kit for anyone who hates struggling with falsies that require glue and are a hassle to put on. With these, all you have to do is apply the magnetic eyeliner just like any liquid eyeliner, and then place the magnetic eyelash right on top, where it'll instantly attach all by itself!
You'll get five differing styles of *reusable* lashes to meet your different needs, and two tubes of magnetic eyeliner.
Promising review: “They look beautiful. I am so impressed with these lashes. This is the first time I have tried magnetic eyelashes, and they work so well. I tend to wear them once a week or so. They are all fun and so easy to put on. I have had these for a couple of months, and they still work great! I suggest cleaning them after each use with a makeup remover like Neutrogena (the one with the oil in it that you have to shake), and they come out beautiful and clean.
"When putting them on, I did discover with trial and error to first put the eyeliner on, and then let it dry by doing other makeup or getting dressed. Then, after that is set, put them on. I have small eyes, so I found putting them on too close to the inner corner of the eye can be irritating to me and bothersome when I blink. If I put them a tiny bit away from the inner eye, they work beautifully. I would definitely buy these again!" —Holly

3. A bottle of Touch in Sol's reviewer-beloved No Poreblem Primer that'll help minimize pores and give your makeup a smooth base, so you can achieve a seamless look without a whole lot of effort!
Promising review: "Even after only the first use, I was blown away by this primer. I honestly didn't think a primer could do what this one does. It went on very smoothly and didn't feel greasy whatsoever. All during my super-long day at work (12-hour shift), my makeup didn't budge and my face looked so smooth and satiny under my makeup. I have moderate to severe acne so my skin is generally fairly oily, but it has also been very dry lately, and this primer made it so my makeup didn't crease at all or cling to dry patches on my skin. I can't emphasize enough how surprised I was every time I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see how smooth my makeup still looked." —MMkay13
Get it from Amazon for $13.60+ (available in two colors and multipacks).
4. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment — it uses ceramides and collagen to magically help bring your damaged hair back to life with all the body and silky softness you could possibly imagine! Simply let it sit on your hair after shampooing for five to 20 minutes and rinse!
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "Holy moly. This stuff is AH-mazing. It smells amazing, leaves my hair SMOOTH and SOFT (did I emphasize that enough), and leaves my hair drying quicker with it looking near perfect. Well, folks, what else is there to say? Buy it. Don’t think about it. Just do it. This coming from a super-picky hair girl!" —Aubsmommmy

5. A painless mint-flavored Venus teeth-whitening pen if you want quick results with just 30 seconds (!) of painless daily use. Even *years* of stains from things like coffee, tea, wine, soda, and more are no match for this thing.
It has over 10,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review: "I really liked this product because it gave me significant results in just a few days. I have tried other whitening products but I definitely think this one is my favorite because it's not only easy to use but also works very well. There is also no weird aftertaste, and all I do is keep my mouth open wide for around 30 seconds. The whitening capabilities were also great, and I know this because my teeth were stained before but now they are not. Lastly, these pens were very easy to use because all you have to do is twist the dial at the bottom of the pen clockwise, and product comes out. So overall I would rate this pen a 10/10 and I am definitely planning on buying more." —Roy Joseph
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.96.
6. A three-barrel curling iron wand ingeniously designed to give you the waves of your wildest dreams with barely any effort at all — even if you're a beginner.
It heats up in 60 seconds (up to 410 degrees) and has a nonslip handle and insulated barrel tips for safety.
Promising review: "I love my three-barrel curling iron. I'm one of those who cannot for the life of me figure out how to curl my hair with a single barrel or a straightener. My hand just does not want to cooperate or maybe my brain is overthinking it, so this three barrel curling iron is a game changer for me. I have super straight hair, so straight that air-dried is a suitable style for me. I've always wanted to be able to curl my hair and this has made that possible! My waves are beach-y and I've received tons of compliments from friends and coworkers." —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in five colors).
7. A set of 10 quick-dry nail polishes that dry in about 60 SECONDS *without* needing a lamp! Now you can quickly do your nails without worrying as much about smudges.
The formula is also nontoxic and made without formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP chemicals.
Promising review: "The set comes in various colors and they are all beautiful. The polish has a big brush that covers the nail easily. The polish is opaque but I did two coats. It didn't stain my nails or have a strong smell. The polish dried up quickly. I cook and clean, so it started to wear off on the fourth day. But I can repaint because of the easy application and fast drying." —perksofbeautyblog
Get 10 bottles from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five color combinations).
8. A pack of 24-karat gold cooling eye gels to help reduce dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles in about 20–30 minutes while making you feel ultra-luxurious. Simply wear them while you're relaxing at night or getting ready in the morning, and enjoy the soothing effect that leaves your skin feeling nice and smooth.
Promising review: "First of all, amazing deal for the price! Secondly, they work amazing!! I have issues with tired eyes and I used the patches for about 30 minutes after I washed my face, while I was in the shower, then took them off when I did my makeup, and my under-eye was so moisturized and rejuvenated!" —Tiara Baker
Get a pack of 20 pairs from Amazon for $11.87 (available in two colors and other pack sizes).
9. A smudge-proof and easy-to-use mechanical eyeliner pencil so you'll never have to sharpen a pencil liner or deal with liquid liner ever again!
Promising review: "You can't beat the price. The most perfect creamy, pigmented, and easy-to-put-on eyeliner ever. I think most eyeliners are a bit stiff and kind of tug on the eye when you apply it, but not this liner! I bought it in black but will be buying it in other colors as well. Also, if you like to smudge your waterline, this liner is perfect for that." —Kaykay
Get it from Amazon for $5.10+ (available in 13 colors).
10. L’Oreal’s 8 Second Wonder Water that'll give your hair the moisture, shine, and silkiness it's missing, with instant results visible after the first use. Use it on wet hair after shampoo for healthier-looking locks and a weightless feel that takes a mere *eight seconds* to achieve!
Promising review: "Why haven't I tried this sooner? This is hands-down the absolute best product I have tried on my hair in years, maybe decades! I have very thick, coarse, highlighted hair that proves to be a challenge for any product that claims smoothing, frizz control, shine, etc. I have tried so many high-end products that do not live up to their claims with my hair. As soon as I removed the towel, I knew this product was a winner. My hair looked smoother than usual before I even started to blow dry. When I finished blow drying, it looked the way it does when I leave a salon. I am super impressed and immediately ordered more." —shopsalot
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
11. Some Zombie Pack wash-off face masks with almost ~supernatural~ lifting, hydrating, brightening, and pore-tightening abilities — and all you have to do is wear it for 15 minutes!
Promising review: "I’ll be honest. I don’t write reviews very often. Today was especially a hard day working from home after not sleeping last night with an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old. I was feeling beat! My skin was sure showing the stress. I had LOW expectations — no way this could make me feel better, but I decided to treat myself at least a little. Well, was I in for a BIG surprise! I was FaceTiming my mom, also my BFF, during the tightening. I sure was scared, we both thought this would be perfect for a Halloween night! LOL! But as soon as I rinsed it off... WOW! My mom was asking all about it! She will try it too! LOL! I will surely continue using it! Please leave this awesome product at this awesome price! Greatly appreciated by tired mommies like me!! Gracias!!" —TAYD3
Get a set of eight masks from Amazon for $25.
12. An easy-to-use hair thinner and cutter so you can cut down on pricey salon visits and feel confident touching up your own 'do! It trims your hair *while* combing it — so you only need one hand. Plus, it has different-size teeth for thin or thick hair.
The razor has two edges, a fine-tooth one for thin hair textures, and a wider one for thicker hair textures. (FWIW, people also use this on their pets as a quick grooming solution!)
Promising review: "I recently got a pixie haircut, but I was hesitant to get one based on the fact that I'd have to get frequent haircuts, the cost of which would add up quickly. I did some research on youtube and found some videos using the Tinkle hair cutter to trim hair in between salon visits. I LOVE this thing! It is easy to give a little trim or a drastic cut, both of which I have done since getting the Tinkle cutter. I was very nervous to try it fearing that I might mess up my hair so I just did a little bit first, but it was easy and only takes off small amounts of hair at a time. Remember, I have a pixie cut — if you have long hair it will cut that off! Basically all you have to do is comb your hair in the direction it grows until you're satisfied with the cut.
"Seven months post pixie haircut and I have only been to the salon once to have a reshaping done of my hair. I will say that when the cutter feels like it's 'pulling' your hair, it's time to get new razors. I still prefer my pixie cut to be pretty short, and assuming I would have to go to the salon once a month for upkeep I have saved $210 since having my hair cut. TOTALLY WORTH IT!" —brandi in louisiana
Get it from Amazon for $3.89.
13. A makeup setting spray to give your makeup a fresh ~just applied~ look all day long! Simply spray it on to lock foundation, eyeshadow, and powder in place with a nonshiny, matte finish so you aren't having to *constantly* reapply.
Promising review: "Love this spray. Like that it's small and portable. It does set your makeup matte, which I love. Keeps my makeup in place all day. I use it pretty much daily when it's summer. It is great for when you travel to anywhere hot and humid and don't want your makeup to slide off." —Tina J.
Get it from Amazon for $9.10+ (available in four styles, two sizes, and combo packs).
14. A pack of 36 acne patches that'll absorb pimple-causing gunk out of your skin overnight! They'll speed up the healing process and help give you clearer-loking skin without the picking or popping that can leave scars behind.
Promising review: "When I ordered this product, I admit, I didn't think it would work. I have adult acne and visit a dermatologist regularly, my chin area is especially bad. I used one the first night I received them. It's acne sorcery. I honestly could not believe it worked. Pimple gone overnight and a flat surface remained. I do not know how they get this pimple magic to work but I am sold and have literally texted all the people in my life. It's complete magic! Do it — I promise you will be shocked!" —Heather L.
Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $10.77 (also available in other pack sizes).
15. A quick and easy-to-blend Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder you can use as a foundation or setting powder to give your face a smooth and lightweight finish.
Promising review: "What a difference from my old powder! I had been using the Nyx loose powder for years but it always made me look so...dusty. This stuff, oh man...it makes my foundation look airbrushed on! Like, what the hell!? It has a very very slight sheen and seems to just sink into your foundation, no dusty look whatsoever! I am amazed...and also never using any other powder ever again. I love it when I find a good staple for my makeup routine, this is definitely sticking with me! And you get soooooo much! I couldn't believe how much you get for the price! Just can't beat it! And for added bonus, it smells amazing!" —Amazonian
Get it from Amazon for $15.12 (available in translucent, translucent with extra coverage, and honey beige, as well as three sizes).
16. The famous Alleyoop Pen Pal, which is a multicolor eyeliner, lip liner, highlighter, *and* an eyebrow pencil in ONE tool so you can stop lugging around jam-packed makeup bag.
It's vegan, cruelty- and paraben-free, and the packaging is recyclable!
Alleyoop is a woman-owned small biz that takes "beauty efficiency" to a new level. Most of their products are compact and have several functions!
Promising review: "This 4-in-1 touchup pen has been such a lifesaver! It is super compact and convenient for on-the-go. I always make sure to have it in my purse before I head out the door. The colors are pigmented, creamy, and glide on the skin easily. Each color is perfect for what I need. I'm obsessed!" —ana, Alleyoop Customer
Get it from Alleyoop for $20 (available in three shades).
17. And an Elf multi-stick that does a beautiful job as an eyeshadow, lipstick, *and* blush so you can easily throw it in your bag without taking up a bunch of space in case you need a mid-day touch-up.
18. Glossier's Cloud Paint — if you struggle to achieve a natural-looking rosiness, this extremely user-friendly sheer gel-cream blush is here to give you a gorgeous and subtle flushed glow with ease. Simply dab it on your cheeks, and you'll find that it's easy to work with and layer without going overboard. Plus, you'll love the soft-focus, golden hour effect that'll make you look like you have influencer-level makeup skills!
Promising review: "I used traditional powder blushes daily up until purchasing this product. My skin is super dry and I didn't know I could have such a natural blush look until Cloud Paint! It really is easy to blend and builds up in color without much effort. The packaging is beautiful and is the perfect size to take anywhere with you. Please never stop making this blush!!!" —:~)
Get it from Glossier or Sephora for $22 (available in ten shades).
19. A leave-in conditioner that'll detangle hair, reduce frizz, and restore curls so you can get out the door faster. It's designed for kids, but adults love using it too!
Promising review: "Your search is over!! This product DELIVERS!! We use it on our toddler's hair after baths, on wet hair, as well as in the mornings on dry hair for a curl refresh. Dries smooth with no crunch — just healthy, bouncing curls! We'll never stop buying this." —Allison
Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in two sizes).
20. And a Crave Naturals detangling brush designed to glide through wet *or* dry hair while gently separating tangles (instead of tugging or ripping through them like other brushes) — all thanks to the firm but flexible bristles and unique cone shape that makes this brush a great option for kids *and* adults!
Promising review: "This is the BEST detangler EVER!!! Do not use on dry hair though if you have curly or wavy hair. It will straighten your hair and leave it frizzy. But, use this in the shower with your conditioner, and you can finger-comb your hair, air dry if possible, and your waves and curls will be the best ever!" —TDHokey
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in a variety of colors/styles and in packs of two).
21. An impressively realistic clip-in messy bun — it comes in a variety of hair colors so you can simply attach it to your updo and be on your merry way. Order two if you wanna try out some fun space buns!
INH Hair is a woman-owned small biz based in Los Angeles. Their buns are made of vegan synthetic fiber from Japan. Make sure to read their tips on styling and care!
Promising review: "My bun game has gone to a new level! Very easy to apply and the feel is very realistic. It doesn’t feel like a synthetic hair! The color match was to a T. I have quite fine hair so my usual buns look very odd (like a round pot handle vibe) but with the Sammy, I feel so confident and put-together. The application was super easy, and unlike some of the ponies that make you feel weighted, there was no issues with feeling tightened or restricted on my scalp." —Jia
Get it from INH Hair for $33.75 (originally $45; available in a variety of colors).
22. A reviewer-beloved Mane Club 10-in-1 leave-in spray if you don't have time to apply a bunch of different products for your various hair needs. This stuff pretty much does it all — from conditioning, detangling, providing heat protection, and preventing breakage, to hydrating, smoothing, softening, controlling frizz, boosting shine,*and* strengthening locks! Phew, I'm out of breath!
Mane Club is a New York City–based small business established in 2019 that specializes in affordable haircare products.
Promising review: "I’m a hairstylist, so I’ve tried just about every leave-in conditioner out there, and I was amazed at how soft my hair felt after one use. My curls were so happy! The smell is amazing too!! I will definitely be repurchasing." —Allison S.
23. A reusable Revlon volcanic face roller you can roll over your T-zone or other greasy areas to soak up excess oil *without* messing up your carefully applied makeup. Stop buying wasteful oil-blotting sheets and use this instead!
24. A Schick Silk Touch-Up Tool so you don't have to make an appointment and spend more time and money to remove peach fuzz. Plus, it works painlessly and precisely, leaving your face oh so smooth without the irritation marks that most threading or razors leave behind.
Promising review: "I use these to remove my peach fuzz on my face and shape my eyebrows easily. I did not expect them to work as well as they did. My face feels super smooth and soft, and skincare products are more effective now. I was scared to shape my eyebrows with it, but it came with a small attachment that makes the blade smaller so you don't accidentally shave off half your eyebrow LOL! I love them, 10/10." —Abigail
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94 (also available as a pack of nine).
25. A hydrating face cleanser that'll help gently and effectively remove makeup and dirt, while nourishing your skin and helping maintain its natural moisture.
In addition to dermatologist Dr. Loretta herself, this small, family-owned biz has a team that also includes her two daughters, and is dedicated to formulating cruelty-free, vegan products to help reverse the effects of pollution, light, climate, and irritants on our skin.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross says: "I tried this Dr. Loretta gentle hydrating cleanser for the first time a few months ago, and, can I just say, it's been a total game changer. I was blessed with dry, red, irritable skin, which only gets even more fun to deal with once the temperature drops — and face cleansers in particular tend to dry me out even more. But not this one! It feels like a dream on my skin — in fact, my face feels even more moisturized after I've rinsed it off (and stays that way, despite the fact that I have my heat blaring 24/7 during the winter). True to its name, it's incredibly gentle, and my skin has never felt softer (or looked happier and *glowier*) after being scrubbed clean. Definitely my new favorite out of all the skincare products I've tried in the past year — and as a skincare obsessive, I've tried A LOT."
Promising review: "This Gentle Hydrating Cleanser saved my skin. After years of spending money on drugstore products and medical-grade formulas, I have finally found this holy grail cleanser. I've always had combination skin and acne. This cleanses my skin without leaving it tight. It has the best texture of any face soap, lathers easily, and feels clean. Highly recommend giving this product a try, especially if acne has made you anxious about a hydrating cleanser. Noticeably improved my acne, size of my pores, and redness." —Karina H.
Get it from Dr. Loretta or Dermstore for $40.
26. A convenient, smudge-proof eyeliner stamp if you love a winged eye look but hate how long it takes you to apply it to yourself. This stamp makes it quick and easy so you can speed up your routine and have more time for other tasks!
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!
The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty.
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 $14.97 (available in three styles and a combo pack).
27. A dual hair dryer and brush for anyone who wants salon-worthy results with minimal time and effort! It's much quicker and easier than using a dryer, flat iron, or curling iron, because it uses special vents that help your hair dry faster without becoming damaged.
Unlike other hairdryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift, and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a through 4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!
Promising review: "I am not someone who normally writes reviews but I like this dryer so much I must give it a positive review. This dryer has been a game changer for my hair. I have a lot of hair and the strands are thick. I’ve been a flat iron user for many, many years but decided to try this on the recommendation of a friend. Not only is it easy to use, it gives my hair the closest thing to a professional blowout at home. There are tutorials online for maximizing the benefits of this dryer." —Jennifer G.
Get it from Amazon for $43.47.
28. Or a Black Orchid diffuser attachment designed to dry hair quickly, evenly, and gently thanks to its placement of vents that give you simultaneous air flow at both the root and tips. Reviewers love how it helps maximize volume while politely telling frizz to hit the road.
Promising review: "The BEST diffuser on the market! I have naturally wavy hair and have struggled with finding the right diffuser to keep my tresses curly while drying my hair. Using the Black Orchid Hair Diffuser is what you need if you have wavy to curly hair! You'll still have your curl and won't have frizz after using the Black Orchid!" —BMRGirl
Get it from Amazon for $22.49.
29. An easy-to-use cream-to-powder eyeshadow stick that'll effortlessly glide over your lids, giving you a smooth application with no brush required! It even has a built-in smudger to do the blending for you! Plus, you'll love its long lasting, waterproof, and crease-proof finish.
Promising review: "Oh you better get these. I have been ill and for the first time in my adult life, I couldn't use my hands right to put on eye makeup. I read reviews and thought I will try these. These are amazing. I put it on yesterday. Smooth, easy application. Goes on just as you see color, not too light like others I've tried. It is still on today from my trip yesterday. We were at my doctor, and I was so tired I slept with eye makeup on, not unusual, LOL." —girlyjohnnie
Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in a variety of shades).
30. A foot file and callus remover here to make your feet feel like they were completely reborn without spending time *and* money on a trip to the salon.
Promising review: "I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it!!! In less than five minutes all of the dry, dead skin came off. It didn’t hurt and I didn’t need expensive paraffin treatments or foot soaks. I can’t believe I’ve struggled with dry heels for so long! Can’t express how amazing it feels to have smooth heels. Easy to use and quick!" —Teacher Mom
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
31. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges adored by reviewers (over 73,000 5-star ratings!) for being inexpensive, long-lasting, super soft, easy-to-clean, and for giving great results.
Promising review: "I am VERY picky when it comes to my makeup sponges. For years I would only use a Beauty Blender because, to be honest, nothing else compared or gave the same foundation finish. These are truly a game changer! They are not 100% identical to the name brand blender in texture, HOWEVER they DO give the same flawless foundation finish. I would even go as far as to say they soak up less foundation which means you aren't wasting as much product. And can we talk about this price point?!?! Save your hard earned money and PURCHASE THESE! You won't be disappointed." —Lindsey
Get a set of five from Amazon for $6.99 (available in seven colors and multicolor options).
32. A first-of-its-kind, plant-based Youthforia color-changing oil blush — it'll react to your skin’s natural pH to instantly give you the perfect shade of natural flush that complements your skin tone. You can use it on its own or on top of foundation for a little extra vibrancy!
Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients.
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: "I'd give it 10 stars if I could. After turning 40, I've not been happy with my blush or tinted moisturizers. More often than not, they either pill or settle into my pores, etc. I don't wear very much makeup, and I'm surely no makeup artist. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but to be honest, I'm not willing to put the time or effort into learning at this point in life. YOUTHFORIA to the rescue! This stuff is awesome. I can use it to create nothing more than a healthy glow, or can build it for more if I care to. It is undetectable once on the skin, and it lasts all day." —Kate F.
Get it from Amazon for $36.
33. And finally, a fragrance-free Radha Beauty Rosehip Seed Oil that'll help brighten, hydrate, and exfoliate your skin. Simply apply a couple of drops before adding foundation! You can even use it to help add some shine to your hair and cuticles!
Radha Beauty is a small business that offers a slew of all-natural, organic beauty products.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this product!! I’ve recently struggled with acne all over the face, and while washing it every single night helped a bit, nothing was giving me truly clear skin. I bought this gem and very quickly that changed! I’m so pleased with this product and how well it has helped clear up my acne! My face always feels incredibly soft after using it, and the best part is that it doesn’t make my usually oily skin look greasy when applied!! I’ve been recommending this product to everyone I know! It’s an absolute must-have!" —Jennifer R Bennett
