    Promising review: "Magic, simply magic. I usually don’t write reviews although I should because I count on them to help me decide to try new products. I am 33 and it's literally taken years for me to find my combination. I actually cringe at the makeup I used to use lol. Patrick's formula is seriously magical. It was worth the money 1,000%. It literally feels like silk on my face. I actually feel like I look younger and the applicator puff is genius! It went on smooth and effortlessly. Thank you makeup Gods for this product!" —melanie099999

    Promising review: "This is the best foundation I've tried. I put some on without any primer, after moisturizer and sunscreen, to see how effective it is alone and wow, I am just impressed. My pores melted away and it matched my skin tone so perfectly. I've never had foundation that just looked like my skin but better. I feel like it's always obvious I have foundation on with other products. This is the perfect foundation for that no-makeup makeup look. So easy to apply — just used my fingers. I did take the Find Your Shade quiz to find my shade so I definitely recommend taking that if you're unsure. I've tried a number of foundations around this price point and this is by far the best, 10/10. —Sandy B.

    Get it from Youthforia for $48 (available in 15 shades) or Ulta for $33.60 (originally $48; available in 15 shades).

    Side note, I have these in silver and literally everyone that enters my apartment says I'm soooo bougie....cuz I am, and I ain't ashamed. 💁🏽‍♀️ But seriously, they're so beautiful. Hand wash them! The rhinestones unravel in the dishwasher and I learned that the hard way.

    Promising review: "Omg, absolutely love these. I am a BLING individual and totally am in love with these. I bought four and everyone who comes over loves them. They are also very easy to hold onto.💕" —Susanne Cotoia

    Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The showerhead has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy

    Get it from Amazon for $23.49+ (available in five sizes and four finishes).

    7. A nourishing, plumping tinted lip oil so you can keep that pout shiny without your lippies getting all sticky. Reviewers are loving this stuff because it gives Dior lip oil vibes without the Dior price. 

    Promising review: "I’d been hearing so many rave reviews about the Dior version but $40 for a lip oil that no one will even know is Dior?! No thanks. So I opted for this alternative and went to Sephora today to compare with the Dior one — ya’ll, it’s practically THE SAME for what, less than $10?! The only thing I will note as did other reviews is that this one has a slight minty flavor to it, whereas the Dior doesn’t. But I like mint, so it’s a plus in my opinion! The brush softness and size are identical and I even think the formula feels better on the lips overall, Dior was a bit stickier. I purchased the pink and it’s perfect for every day — already want to order more!" —Chloe

    Get it from Amazon for $6.85+ (available in five colors).

    8. A holographic budget binder since you are bougie and on a budget. This is seriously so cute with labeled binder envelopes to put money in and split between all your finances. If we're gonna budget, might as well make it pretty.

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 12 colors).

    9. An aromatherapy milk bath for a luxurious, Cleopatra-style bath. Cleopatra is said to have used milk and honey in her bath, since it can help even skin tone, moisturize, and exfoliate, and that's what you deserve, too. Royal treatment only, am I right?

    Promising reviews: "I’d been looking for a Skims alternative — I have the Skims dress, love it, and wanted it another color. Ordered a size large which is my normal size and it fit perfectly! I’m so very happy with my purchase! Literally half the price of Skims and it's identical! If you’ve tried the Skims dress, go ahead and order, you won’t be disappointed!" —JK

    11. An automatic pan stirrer with a timer so when a recipe calls for you to constantly stir the dish, you can say "nah, I'm not doing that" and have this little buddy do it for you.

    13. A set of reusable hemp and cotton makeup pads so you can finally ditch the disposable ones you've been spending way too much money on for good.

    Promising review: "Beautiful and functional. I got the larger version in store, then had to have the smaller one, too. I put succulent soil in the large and added a Snow White waffle plant. I rested my xerographica air plant in the small one until it gets too big. She’s so cute, I’ll probably leave her empty. I absolutely love them!" —S Malcom 

    Get it from Anthropologie for $28+ (available in two sizes).

    Promising review: "Such a cute belt! I’ve been looking for a belt like this, but I’m very picky and couldn't find one I loved. This one is perfect. It’s a staple that ties every outfit together so well. A very easy way to step up a simple outfit. It’s great quality for the price, and there’s no need to splurge on a designer belt if you can’t afford it. I would 10/10 would recommend." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I do my own makeup with these brushes every day, and when I am hired to do makeup for weddings, proms, photo shoots, etc. I ALWAYS bring this brush set. They have every size I would need for eye makeup, and they work great. I typically use top of the line brush sets that I purchase from Ulta, so I was skeptical about these being so inexpensive. However, they have become my new favorite brush set! And not to mention, they are so cute, I love the marble!! I highly recommend these brushes to anyone!" —Brooke Johnson

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    19. A cozy waffle robe because what's a spa experience without a robe?! It's cozy and perfect to lounge in at home whenever you need a little relaxation. Oh and there are pockets, too!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this robe! As a new mom, I had truly forgotten what relaxation was, so I bought this robe to help me relax after a shower. I’m so glad I did! I’m 5’6", and it’s long enough to cover everything, soft, and reminds me so much of the robes you wear at the spa. If you’re debating buying this, do it!!" —Madison Long

    Promising review: "This!!! This is a great steamer. You get the benefits of facial steaming without the spa price. I am obsessed with it. The tools you get with this steamer are a popper's DREAM COME TRUE.

    Promising review: "I got these for my mom as part of a 'home spa set' I gifted her for Christmas and I’m about to order a pair for myself. I was worried that they were going to be flat after shipping but they’re still SUPER DUPER FLUFFY. Instructions said you could blow dry them to fluff them up a little but there was no need. They’re perfect for the winter — soft, fuzzy, and warm. My mom wears them every day and she absolutely LOVES them. Not to mention the fact that they’re super cute and such a beautiful color. Great product for the price." —GiraffePie

    These masks start out as powder and form into a jelly consistency once you add purified water. They force moisture and beneficial nutrients deeply into your skin, leaving you feeling like an esthetician just did a whole facial on you. Sounds lovely, huh?

    Promising review: "I love these masks so much! They’re just like what you’d pay a lot more for in a salon. My skin feels amazing after using them. The consistency is great and peels off really easily. Anyone who has issues with the consistency may be using too much water or too thin of a layer. I slather it on Mrs. Doubtfire style!" —Courtney

    23. A heat-activated anti-frizz treatment to apply before you blow dry.

Oh, and Chris Appleton, celebrity stylist to both Kim Kardashian and J.Lo, swearssss by this stuff.

    Promising review: This product is incredible — just WOW. In all my years of existence, I was never able to tame my naturally curly hair into a sleek, silky, frizz-free look, until now. I l don't know what kind of magical sorcery went into making this product, but this stuff is amazing. —Lillee45

    Promising review: "This took my bath relaxing game to a whole new level. I love how comfortable this is and the suction cups do a great job of staying in place. It has a hook so that you can hang it up to air dry and on top of that, it comes with a little case to put it in when you throw it in the wash! I love this product and have caught even my husband using it sometimes. I would 100% buy again if I had to but I have had it a few months and the quality looks like it will last." —Victorya williams

    27. lash-lifting kit so you can wake up already looking like you're wearing mascara. Your lashes will be lifted to the heavens without having to pay the price. Perfectly curled and can last up to a month! Hey, curl, heyyyy!

    This kit includes lash glue, lash perm, lash fixation, lash nutrition, lash cleanser, five silicone pads, three lash cleaning brushes, 10 lash micropores, 10 brushes, and five gel under-eye pads. 

    Promising review: "I was worried that this stuff would either not work at all or make all my lashes fall out. Thankfully, it was neither and the results are UNREAL. I HIGHLY suggest watching some YouTube videos of other people using their perm kits before attempting to use yours. I have big fingers and small eyes so it was difficult for me to get the lift pads in the right positions but once that was over, the rest was a breeze. Unlike some of the other kits I've seen, this one has basically everything you need. The only other things I needed were a mirror, some tissue, and a little bit of plastic wrap to cover my lashes while waiting for the lotions to work their magic. I'm totally impressed and will definitely be buying this again!" —Ryan

    Promising review: "I am 25-years-old and I don’t use false lashes mostly because I can’t figure out how to wear them without making them look awful. My hands shake a lot and my eyes water a lot so it’s difficult for me to wear lashes. I saw a TikTok video about these and decided to give it a shot. Although the smaller pieces were slightly difficult to manage, they stuck to the bond on my lashes with EASE! I love the way these look and now I’m going to test how long they can really last. The box states if you apply double the product, they could last about 10 days. We will see about that! Edit: I’ve tried a few times now and these last me two to three days. (I also have watery eyes)." —Desi

Really helps take the edge off after a long day. The thing is way sturdier than you'd expect. I've tugged on it and it's not going anywhere. The slotted design allows you to use stemmed wineglasses, too. A truly perfect product. This piece of plastic is working as hard as my therapist and I stan." —Steven

    Promising reviews: "I had been seeing a lot of people on TikTok using this kit as an alternative to shaving, and it looked so easy and convenient and it in fact was! I had no trouble using it, and I don't think I will ever go back to shaving!" —Kassidy Shuler

    reviewers shiny, sparkling, clean ring after using cleaner

    Promising review: "Holy cow! What an amazing product! The difference was obvious. I got engaged almost two weeks ago and since then have worn my ring 98% of the time. Since jewelers suggest cleaning engagement rings once or twice a month, I figured I'd give this a go and I was shook. I honestly forgot how bright my diamonds and topaz sparkled! You can double check the company's website on whether or not you should use this on your particular gem/metal but topaz, diamond, and yellow gold are all A-OK. I give this product the highest of recommendations and will be giving it to everyone I know who has fine jewelry they want to maintain." —Becca

    33. taco shell holder so you can take taco Tuesday to the next level because you're waaaay too bougie to just plop 'em on a plate. It's all about impressive presentation, because why not look and feel like you're dining at a 5-star restaurant. Tacos and tequila night anyone? 

    Promising review: "Beautiful little work of art — both sides! What a great little tray. Love this thing. We've used both sides (for two and three tacos) and it's just the perfect amount of space for average-sized tacos. We like it because it's not solid all the way along the bottom of the taco, so the taco shells stay crunchy on both ends. (They don't get soft and break apart as they tend to when they're in contact with a surface the entire time they sit.) The blue one is so pretty I want to hang it on the wall but nobody will let me. So I leave it sitting out!" —KeeKee

I got two hours of sleep last night and still, I look well rested. That, is nothing short of magic...like created by woodland fairies. The puffiness is gone and the discoloration is almost completely gone. This cream is worth the money and I will be putting this in automatic reorder as soon as I figure out how long it will take to go through a bottle.

    Tattoorary is a Netherlands-based small biz that specializes in temporary tattoos, offering a large range of sizes, colors, and designs. Each tattoo lasts from two days to a week.

    Check out what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord had to say about these babies: "I am *obsessed* with these temporary tattoos — I waited for ages to get them, and I wish I'd done it much sooner, because I've had such a blast mix and matching them every week this summer! They transfer beautifully with warm water and look like legitimate tattoos (my neighbor truly thought I'd gotten some great ink), and are so easy and gentle to remove with a light scrub in the shower."

    Get them from Tattoorary on Etsy: the vintage floral tattoo for $7.99, and the little birds tattoo for $2.99.
