    An Eyeliner Stamp, Plus 36 Other Tried And True Beauty Products That Are Reviewers' Faves

    Popular acne patches, a TikTok-famous color-changing oil blush, a powerful dandruff shampoo, and other reviewer-approved beauty products.

    1. 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!

    A detangling brush with a shape that curves similar to an 'S' shape. It has bristles along the entire surface.

    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 nine colors/styles and in packs of two).

    2. 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 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 of the small patches from Amazon for $10.77.

    3. A tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Base because you didn't spend time putting on eye makeup in the morning only for it to be all smudged, faded, and creased by the time the afternoon rolls around. This stuff'll help enhance and lock in your eyeshadow, keeping it vibrant and in place all day long!

    It's cruelty-free!

    Promising review: "Best primer EVER. I absolutely LOVE this primer! It goes on very smoothly, and it will keep your eye makeup in place literally all day. It also helps with maximizing the pigments in your eyeshadow, making sure they pop. 

    I also bought a tube for my mom, because she struggles with oily skin and her eyeliner never stays on. Once she used this, not only did her eyeliner stay in place and not budge, but it helped control the oil as well. Out of all the primers I've tried, this is the only one I will use, because it is reliable and affordable." —Carolyn

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    4. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence — a lightweight face serum that could 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: "I’m legitimately shocked by this product! I think this is the best thing I’ve ever put on my face. I have super sensitive skin, and I gave myself a retinol burn. I had huge dry patches all over my face, and it was so uncomfortable. I ordered this, and after using it for one day, my face wasn’t red anymore. I’ve been using it for three days, and the fine lines I had on my forehead and smile lines are hardly visible, and I have no more dry patches on my face anywhere. I’m amazed. I can’t wait to see what this continues to do for my skin. If you’re thinking about buying this, here’s your sign — get it!!!" —Colleen Barringer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.50

    5. A first-of-its-kind, plant-based Youthforia color-changing oil blush — it reacts 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. Science is cool!

    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 can go down the list of impulse buys I've made after seeing them on TikTok. Most of them fall way short of what I had hoped for or expected. Not this stuff. 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. It's all I was hoping for and so much more. I highly recommend it." —Kate F.

    Get it from Amazon for $36.

    6. 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. Consequently, after so many disappointing products, my expectations were low when I tried this.

    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 $8.73.

    7. An easy-to-use heated beard straightener (with three heat levels) if you want a straighter beard or find it easier to trim after straightening. All you have to do is comb it through your beard like a magic wand to groom it in a single stroke, no beard oil necessary! Plus, it can also double as a hair straightener!

    It also comes with a wooden comb and a travel bag. 

    Promising review: "I purchased this item because I have a short/medium beard that’s more often curly than not. I looked at similar items that cost three or four times the price of this one. I have had this comb for a couple of weeks now, and it’s working beautifully. I normally use it to straighten my beard before trimming — making a more even cut. Even if I keep it curly after, the trim just looks better." —Laz

    Get it from Amazon for $23.65+ (available in two sets). 

    8. A painless mint-flavored Venus teeth-whitening pen designed to give you 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.

    Promising review: "The best teeth whitening product ever. I've used so many products before and this one is the best so far! I bought this because it wasn't expensive and it had good reviews. It's very easy to use, and it works even after the first application. It doesn't burn gums, and doesn't leave your teeth sensitive." —Eleny Araujo

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95.

    9. Or some reviewer-beloved professional-level Crest Whitestrips because they can remove 14 years of stains in under a month using the same enamel-safe whitening ingredient that dentists use. *Three* days is all it takes to see a whiter smile, and they even come with two bonus one-hour express treatments if you need same-day results!

    Check out a TikTok of the Crest 3D Whitestrips in action.

    Promising review: "I haven't used Crest White Strips in over five years. Since then, my teeth have stayed really white and I frequently get compliments or questions on how I get my teeth so white. I decided to get a box to boost the whiteness of my teeth. Wow, I was shocked at how much these have improved! Before, the strips were really flimsy, hard to remove from the package, and really hard to keep on your teeth — the old ones would slip or bunch up. 

    These are such an improvement! The new strips remove easily from the plastic they are on. The strips are REALLY adhesive! These will not budge! Since I've purchased them, I have only used them about four times and I can already notice a difference. Other people have noticed too. I think these are well worth the money and work as well as a professional treatment. I have had friends who have done professional treatments, and their teeth are not as white as mine. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a brighter/whiter smile!" —Vanessa5o5

    Get a pack of 22 from Amazon for $45.99.

    10. An Elizavecca hair treatment — it uses ceramides and collagen to 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!

    on left, reviewer with slightly frizzy long pink hair. on right, same reviewer with less frizzy and smoother hair after using the treatment above

    This is designed to work on all hair types — reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioned it worked for them!

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! It left my hair so soft and shiny. I never let my hair fully air dry, because it gets too frizzy and fluffy, and it was maybe even more frizzy using this stuff as my hair air dried. But after I did my normal flat iron, my hair never looked so good. I replaced my normal conditioner — this gives me all the moisture I need. It is a small bottle, but I only wash my hair once every five days, so the bottle lasted me about five weeks (I have long, thick hair). I am now a forever user of this product." —B

    Get a bottle from Amazon for $8.55 (available in two sizes).

    11. A bottle of plant-powered vitamin C serum that could make your skin look radiant! It can help lighten dark spots, fight off wrinkles, prevent UV damage, and increase skin firmness and elasticity.

    Promising review: "Love, love, love this product! I’m completely 100% forever a customer! I’m nearing 30 and needed a good skin care regimen, as I’ve NEVER had one. I can’t believe my results! Not only has it taken away all dullness, but it has also reversed some sun damage! I’m HIGHLY SATISFIED!!!!!" —Heather C.

    Get it from Amazon for $18.65+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two).

    12. liquid callus remover because it's basically the equivalent of getting a pedicure in your own home. This stuff'll quickly get rid of YEARS worth of calluses that you thought were just part of your feet forever. Not anymore!  

    Promising review: "BEST THING I'VE EVER BOUGHT. I’ve spent so much money on foot creams, lotions, and foot scrubbers over the years. Like for legit 10 years now I’ve had cracked heels. My feet are always dry, and my heels get so bad that they crack and bleed. I’ve tried so many things that I honestly just believed I’d always have cracked heels forever. 

    I followed the directions exactly, and used gloves along with only leaving the gel on for no more than five minutes. I think I could’ve probably left the gel on for a little longer because of how bad my heels are, so I’ll do it again tomorrow, but already they look like brand new feet!! The kind of feet I thought I’d never have! So, I’m incredibly impressed and so excited!" —Heather Nelson

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    13. And a foot file that might make your feet feel like they were completely reborn.

    Promising review: "I'm a man who has had cracked calluses so bad that if I walked barefoot, I'd leave a trail of blood (sorry, TMI). I've ripped bed sheets in half with my dry, desert-like heels. I've tried pumice stones, electric roller things, emery boards — you name it, I've tried it. They helped a little, but this thing has changed my life! I took a shower, dried off, and started using the rasp, and it just started removing everything from my foot (pain-free, but don't go wild with it) with virtually no effort. Then I applied prescription moisturizer (recommended by my podiatrist), and now I have baby feet! (Only in feel, not in size.) I don't write many reviews, but this rasp will now be part of my life forever, especially come wintertime. Thanks, Rikans!" —A.D. 

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    14. A reusable Revlon Oil-Absorbing 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!

    Promising review: "Over the years, my skin has become extremely oily. This roller is easy to use, portable, and REALLY does what it says!! Don't know how I've lived without this. I will never purchase blotting/oil-absorbing sheets again." —jazmine

    Get it from Amazon for $11.47.

    15. A gentle but powerful and quick-acting Nizoral dandruff shampoo that targets dandruff-causing fungus to help reduce scalp flaking and itching so you can finally start wearing black without worrying about looking like you just trudged through a snowstorm.

    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 my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

    Get it from Amazon for $13.29.

    16. Korean exfoliating mitts here to astound you with how much dried skin they'll lift away from your body. Use these reviewer-loved mitts to unclog pores, remove spray tans, prevent ingrown hairs, and more!

    a reviewer photo of the mitt covered in dead skin
    a reviewers leg covered in rolls of dead skin

    It works in just four easy steps you can simply incorporate into your shower routine: 1) Steam or soak for several minutes to soften skin and loosen stubborn buildup. 2) Dampen and wring out the mitt, then remove skin from direct water. 3) Use steady circular motions to exfoliate one section of your body at a time. Slowly increase pressure until desired level of exfoliation is achieved. 4) Finish with a post-exfoliation moisturizer to nourish and protect the new layer of skin.

    Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available individually or as a pair).

    17. 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!

    Promising review: "This product is AMAZING!!! Best investment I've made all year! It lasted through multiple times of me rubbing my eyes (because I always do when I wear makeup) and goes on so easy!! If you love doing cat eye, I cannot recommend this enough!!" —April

    19. 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 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

    Get an eight-piece set from Amazon for $18.97+ (also available as a 23-piece set).

    20. A First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant reviewers swear by for getting rid of dry, rough bumps while brightening and soothing skin. It's particularly helpful for anyone dealing with keratosis pilaris — also known as chicken or strawberry skin.

    Read more about how to treat keratosis pilaris at home at the American Academy of Dermatology.

    BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde loves this product! Here's why:

    "I've had keratosis pilaris since I was a teenager (it's especially bad on my thighs), and after trying dozens of products to treat it with no luck, this magical product is the only thing that's truly worked for me. I usually use this once a week for maintenance, but in the winter if I notice a flare-up and have drier, rougher, bumpier skin, I use this twice a week, and any flare-ups disappear within the week. I scrub it over my thighs and then actually let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off. I have notoriously sensitive skin, and I've never had an issue with this before. It's truly the best product out there for any fellow KP sufferers!"

    Promising review: "The best product I have ever used for my keratosis pilaris! My arms are the smoothest they've ever been! Will continue to buy and use this going forward!" —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes and a pack of two).

    Promising review: "This is literally the best purple shampoo I have ever used. My hair gets brassy so fast. When I use this, it makes it look like I just left the salon. I bought a bottle in July. It is now November, and I still have not had to buy a new bottle yet. 10/10 recommend." —makaila hebert

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sizes).

    22. A bottle of Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid Exfoliant for your face — it'll help unclog and diminish large pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, smooth wrinkles, and brighten and even out your skin tone so it looks radiant and youthful!

    Promising review: "I will never stop using this! BEST product ever. It minimizes pores, softens skin, and clears blemishes. I use this after face wash and before serums and moisturizer. There’s not a strong scent to it, and it works great with my sensitive skin. A MUST-HAVE." —Daniel

    Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes). 

    23. Or a pack of 20 24-karat-gold under-eye masks to help reduce dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles while making you feel ultra-luxurious. It doesn't dry out or irritate your skin — in face, the opposite! It has a soothing effect that leaves your skin feeling nice and smooth.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. When I bought them, I was a little bit skeptical, because I had never tried eye patches before and I was not sure if they would actually work. After my initial use, I was blown away. Left my under-eyes feeling super smooth and visibly less puffy. I had to get my mom to try these with me! She’s 48 years old, and these did magic on her eyes too! Made us both feel very relaxed and we could even move around in them. Will be buying another box once I run out of the 20 packs this box provides. Another pro!" —Adriana Garcia

    Promising review: "I am a makeup snob. I have stupidly high standards for cosmetic performance, and drugstore brands have let me down every single time I've given them a shot. So when I graduated from Covergirl to Sephora after college, I never looked back. My kit is full of Dior and YSL foundation, Armani concealer, Benefit brighteners, etc. But this thing is truly great. 

    The sponge applicator is better than you think. Firstly, it's antimicrobial, so you don't have to worry about the hygiene aspect. Secondly, its ability to blend the product is outstanding. The concealer itself doubles as a highlighter, it looks good without primer, and it lasts so much longer than you'd expect." —Sarita

    Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in 23 shades).

    25. Bed Head Wave Artist Deep Waver for when you want those ~just-came-from-the-beach~ waves on command with the added bonus of reducing frizz and adding shine.

    Reviewers with various hair types says this tool is golden — thin straight hair, thick 4c hair, etc. A few people noted that it's even wig- and weave-safe!

    Promising reviews: "I AM OBSESSED. My friends recommended this product and I’m so glad I finally got one!!!! I feel like the waves look so natural. I have straight, fine hair that can barely hold a curl, and I don’t even have to use hairspray to keep these waves — plus it adds lots of volume! Once you get the technique down, it’s super quick and easy, It takes me about 15 minutes or so! I can’t say enough good things about this product, so just get it!! —Lydia Delcourt

    "I'm always skeptical about new hair tools, as I've been burned many times (pun intended). However, I kept seeing posts about how great this tool is, so I bought it. I love it! My hair is to my waist and very thick and naturally curly, and it worked very well. It took me about 15 minutes to wave all of my hair. The tool is light and has a comfortable grip. I use the highest heat setting and hold it on my hair for five seconds on each portion of the section of hair I'm working on. The waves can hold for days... I highly recommend." —Ana V.

    Also, if you're wondering whether or not this shampoo will work for kinkier textures, then you'll be happy to know that one reviewer with a 4c curl pattern said this shampoo helped to restore her hair's thickness after a Dominican blowout thinned her strands.

    Promising review: “I have used sooo many HA serums in the past, and this one deserves 50 stars instead of just 5! I can honestly say it works just as well, if not better than some of the $100+ HA serums I’ve used before, and the price point is amazing! I will most definitely be repurchasing this serum again and again. It’s gentle and non-irritating to my verrry acne prone/sensitive skin — which is also a must!”—Megan W.

    BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord also loves this lil' massager and raved: "I started using one of these a few months ago and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."

    Promising review: "I'd always had occasional dandruff, especially in the winter months. Since I've started using this, I have not had ONE day with dandruff. I absolutely love this thing, and will continue to use one of these forever. It really makes the scalp feel better." —Jm

They are super thin and nearly invisible. The patches create a super tight seal that doesn't budge even during sleep — they don't peel off easy, but they don't harm sensitive skin, either. AND THEY WORK! It's amazing to see all the gunk these things suck out. Totally reduces acne overnight or, at the very least, reduces pimples to barely perceptible! Would recommend!" —Amanda Dexter

    31. A Revlon 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–4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!

    Promising review: "Oh. My. Gosh. Let me start off by saying I HATE doing my hair. It's long, straight, and really fine so I just let it air dry and call it a day, but that leaves it flat, frizzy, and a little wavy in the back. Well, I got this puppy in the mail today, and I immediately jumped in the shower so I could use my new drying brush. This thing is literally magic! It dried it so silky smooth, and gave me so much volume. I used it on the low setting first, then high and was blown away. I will forever be drying my hair this way. I feel like a hair model LOL. So basically, just buy the thing. You won't regret it!" —Chloe512

    32. 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: "This is the greatest setting spray. I have really dry skin, and after applying a bunch of makeup, I tend to look a little dry. But then, like magic, I spray this stuff on and gently dab it with a Beauty Blender, and I look dewy, youthful, and healthy. I will continue to buy this forever. I also sometimes spray my eyeshadow brush with this to get a more intense color pay off on shimmer shadows." —Elizabeth Herbert

    33. A leave-in conditioner that'll detangle hair, reduce frizz, restore curls, and more so you can get out the door faster. It's designed for kids, but adults love using it too!

    Promising review: "Will forever repurchase. As someone who deals with hormonal acne when pms-ing and the addition of mask acne in the past few months, this has been my lifesaver. It completely got rid of those stubborn breakouts."  —Andrea P.
