    35 Things Reviewers Say Are Just As Good As The More Expensive Version

    Brand names are running up your pockets so def take a peek at these Skims, Lululemon, and Glossier swaps. You'll save so much money you could swim in it.

    1. A tube of Essence Lash Princess Mascara so good, people will ask you "are those your lashes?" This mascara def brings as much drama as Cathy did on Dance Moms.

    Promising review: "This is an amazing mascara! I wear contacts and I’m especially sensitive to mascaras. I had absolutely no sensitivity to this could wear my contacts for 18 hours with this mascara. It really lengthens and adds volume to my lashes. This is as good, if not better, than any mascara that I have purchased from Sephora, including Better than Sex, Dior, Lancôme, etc. I am also extremely happy with the price. Do not hesitate to buy this product. It’s amazing! ❤️🙏🏻" —Isabella

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack).

    2. A Cosrx snail mucin serum to help get rid of dark spots, improve skin vitality, and soothe damaged skin. Yep, snail mucin is a Korean skincare product made from snail slime. Sounds ick but your skin will totally fall in love the second you use it. Hmm, wonder if this is why SpongeBob had Gary the pet snail — skincare benefits.

    *All Cosrx products are dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, and have no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

    Alright friends, I am here to confirm that the hype surrounding this stuff is SO real. I've had acne since I was literally 8 years old (don't ask, my cousin was a face painter and practiced on me so I broke out BAD) and I'm JUST now starting to get it together. My skin this past year has completely changed, I have gotten super serious about my skincare routine, and I am now ✨ pimple-free ✨. Now, I am grateful that my skin has cleared up, but it was still kinda dull, uneven, ya know, the little nitpicky stuff. That is until I cracked and bought this little miracle worker. My skin is now ra-di-anttttt! It's never looked better. My only regret is not taking before and after pics but glass skin, I know her. I haven't gone out in public without makeup since I was like 12 because I was so insecure about my skin. Now, chiiiilld, I go out all the time free of makeup. I also bought this for my cousin for Christmas, she's obsessed, a friend slept over and I let them use this, they're now obsessed, I guarantee you'll fall in love after your first use. 

    Promising review: "I have bought and repurchased this already a few times. I replaced my SK-II, which is extremely expensive, with this and it works even better. It’s a staple in my skin care and will be from here on out. My skin looks amazing. I would use a facial spray before you use this to help it absorb and glide over your skin. Honestly, my skin loves it as much as I do!! Anyone who tries it won’t regret it, that is for sure. If you love SK-II which is a couple hundred dollars, then you’ll definitely love this cheaper alternative." —Brooke & Jason Wood

    Get it from Amazon for $17.

    3. A "flossing toothbrush" so you can impress your dentist. It's got two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles and longer ones that are 10 times thinner to reach those places your normal toothbrush doesn't.

    A toothbrush with two layers of bristles, one long and thin and one shorter and thicker
    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    Mouthwatchers is a small biz 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. 

    Promising reviews: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —AN

    "A thorough cleaning. This toothbrush cleans my teeth better than my expensive electric one. You actually feel the bristles scrubbing between your gums!" —Shiva H.

    4. A popular pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds reviewers are saying are affordable AirPod alternatives, *aaaand* they have over 235,000 5-star ratings. Cord-free, waterproof, and top-notch quality for a suuuuper reasonable price. 

    reviewer holding the black earbuds in their charging case

    A single charge provides over 10 hours of usage.

    Promising reviews: "I bought these based on price. I wasn't sure if I would like wireless headphones or if they'd stay in my ears and I didn't want to drop major $$$ until I knew for sure. I figured for that price, why not. This brand is awesome!!!! Sound quality is on par with my regular headphones, battery life is amazing and overall durability is great. They come with a bunch of different soft pads for the ear part so you can find the ones that fit you best and keep them in your ears well. I love these headphones. I dropped one once, it was in the driveway for three days and still worked perfectly when I found it. I ended up buying several pairs of these as stocking stuffers. I've had no connection issues either. I can get about 100 ft from the device it's connected to before it drops. If you're thinking about it, do it. You wont be sorry." —Crystal Inchiocca

    "AMAZING AirPod swap for a fraction of the price. I hate the Apple headphones because they never stay in my ears. These have amazing sound quality and are super discreet. My husband now wants a pair after using mine!" —shelby zuccarini

    Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors and two styles).

    5. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen that could give you results after the first use — this is obvi sorcery. You'll be able to dazzle people with your smile with the help of this little magic pen that can remove years' worth of stains on your teeth. Someone cue Chip Skylark, cuz after seeing your smile you'll be singing 🎶 my shiny teeth and meeee.🎶

    Promising review: "Honestly, it's very simple to use and it really does do a good job. It's subtle at first but if you use it regularly you WILL see results. There's no bad taste, it's easy to apply, and I'm already seeing some results. I will happily keep using these in the future! I'm even planning on purchasing another box to give to my fiancé because he has been wanting to whiten his teeth but hasn't wanted to spend $50+ on the popular products. This is a very affordable alternative that does the same job in the same amount of time and I honestly think it's worth the money." —Kat J.

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95+ (also available in a four-pack).

    6. Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots because a pimple is NOT ruining our day babe! These patches absorb all the gunk and speed up the pimple-healing process without picking or popping. Plus! They're less expensive than other popular brands like Mighty Patch and still get the job done. Psh, what pimple?

    Promising review: "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. I wear them at night and sometimes during the day, only takes about two to get rid of those pesky whiteheads, sometimes more for a big zit. They really suck everything out." —Savannah Wilson

    Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $4.88+ (available in a 60-pack). 

    7. An illuminating moisturizer to help enhance your skin's natural ✨glow✨. A perfect, lightweight alternative to heavy foundations — this is definitely calling your name. 

    reviewer selfie showing skin wearing moisturizer

    Promising review: "Ok so last summer I took the plunge and bought that $50 Drunk Elephant glowy tan drop stuff. I used it a fair amount, it was okay, but in my opinion, not anywhere near the price I paid. It had to be mixed into my foundation to look remotely normal, which defeats the whole point of the product, which was supposed to be for an 'effortless no makeup glow'. I bought this stuff instead in the Deep shade this summer after a beach trip. This is not only an alternative for Drunk Elephant, it’s a better product. It doesn’t make you look like a glowing orange Oompa Loompa. It’s a very natural ACTUAL skin shade and sinks into your skin as you blend it in. As my tan fades, I will combine it with moisturizer but that’s all that’s necessary. If you were between this and just finally spending the money on the Drunk Elephant, get this. I wish I found it a summer sooner and saved myself the moolah." —Emily W.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in four shades).

    8. An Elizavecca hair treatment that contains ceramides and collagen that can help give your hair shine and make it smooth in just five minutes! Keeping you flawless even if you don't have much time or don't feel like doing your hair.

    reviewers damaged hair before using treatment and then after appearing smoother
    Reviewer showing healthy-looking curly hair

    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 $6.53+ (available in two sizes).

    Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets!

    9. A plush blanket reviewers are comparing to the super popular (and super expensive) Barefoot Dreams one. If your vibe is new year, new you and the new you has vowed to budget, this'll fit the vibes. Yay to saving money!

    reviewer with the black and white throw blanket

    Promising reviews: "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw. Absolutely recommend this blanket!" —Amy

    "I saw this blanket suggested as a Barefoot Dreams alternative. Being a sucker for soft cozy blankets, I thought I would get one and compare it to my Barefoot Dreams blanket. Not only did it compare, I actually prefer this blanket. If they are both lying there, I choose this one!" —CC

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 34 styles and four sizes). 

    10. A loungewear set with a cardigan, cropped tank, and wide-leg pants. Wine night in? Throw this on. Is it just me or is this definitely giving Skims?

    A customer review photo of them wearing the set in white
    A customer review picture of them wearing the set in camel

    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 28 colors).

    11. A simple tennis bracelet, which will have everyone thinking you spent some serious coin on a Swarovski one. It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous and the price?! Wooo! Luxury for the low is always a win.

    a hand with the bracelet on it

    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 two styles, a two-pack, and in three colors and sizes). 

    12. A jar of E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer so you can kiss your pores buh-bye! This primer will help you get a super smooth canvas to put your foundation on and will have you looking like your makeup was professionally airbrushed while helping to keep it in place. Say sayonara to your oily makeup looks and say heyyyy to a matte look.

    Promising review: "Finally able to get my hands on this and it absolutely lives up to the hype! This is an amazing primer and really does visibly smooth and blur pores. I use my Beauty Blender to apply it and a little goes a long way. It’s a perfect alternative for the Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer at a fraction of the cost." —Rebecca

    Get it from Amazon for $10.

    13. A Renpho percussion massager because your back has been killing you but a weekly professional massage is outta the question at the moment. I don't blame you, and this bb is here to help release knots, aches, and muscle tension just as good as the pros do it.

    Check out a TikTok of the massager in action. 

    Promising reviews: "This massage gun is well worth its price! I have used all of its attachments. It is easy to use, comfortable on your muscles and most importantly, extremely effective!! I have used a different massage gun in the past. This one is superior!! I would say it is the same grade quality as a professional massage gun but much less expensive! I am very grateful for this product!" —Amazon Customer

    "Love it! I wanted a Theragun so badly but couldn't justify the price. Well, this little guy fits my needs perfectly! It's compact so it's easy to travel with. I have back problems from a car accident and this helps me so much. It's also been great for my parents who are in their 70s, getting into sore spots. I haven't had my monthly massage since I got this and I'm not missing them quite as much with this." —Kadi Picinich

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in three colors). 

    14. A set of three — yes, three — lip sleeping masks that'll help heal and treat dry, cracked lips by delivering much-needed moisture overnight. Three of these are still $14 cheaper than the beloved Laneige sleeping mask. Now let's jump around in circles saying *yay* in celebration.

    Promising review: "I breathe through my mouth when I sleep and I often wake up with super chapped lips. I love Laneige’s lip sleeping mask but it gets pricey when used daily. This product is the most amazing alternative for it at a FRACTION of the price! Laneige is $24 for just one and this is less than $10 for three?! THREE? OMG take my money. Highly recommend! —Nikz

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six scent combinations).

    15. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers are love love LOVING because, hellooooo! Lululemon Align jogger look but for a waaay cheaper price. If you haven't been able to bring yourself to spend the whopping $80 on the Lulu ones, snag these and we'll keep it our little secret that they *aren't* name brand.

    Promising reviews: "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 

    "Love these joggers! If I could wear them every day I would. I want to order a pair in every color. They are so soft and so comfortable. The waist band is thick and is high waisted. They are very easy to move around in and fit as expected. The waist band is a little tight but they stretch out as you wear them. I ordered a pair for my mom and told my best friend about them and they loved them as well. These are good Lululemon alternatives and very affordable." —Alissa Frey

    Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 19 colors). 

    16. A firming eye cream with vitamin C, vitamin E, rose hip seed oil, and hibiscus flower extract to help firm and brighten the *sensitive* skin around your eyes and neck for a day-to-day ANDDD long-term effect. Botox? Filler? No babe, just a fiiiire eye cream that'll snatch you upppp.

    Reviewer before and after showing the cream tightened and brightened their under-eye area

    Promising review: "I am super stoked that I purchased this product because it works — I was leery about it working but it does. I have used expensive eye creams that claimed to work, which they did to some extent, but not like this one, I started using this about two weeks ago but I started seeing results in a couple of days of the first application. It makes my eyes look awake and the fine lines and wrinkles are diminishing. It makes my skin feel smooth and I can put my eye makeup on easier, my dark circles are lighter too. It has an almost light to no scent which is good because I have somewhat sensitive skin, and have not experienced any reaction. The bottle allows just the right amount to be dispensed so I don't have to worry about too much coming out." —@m@zon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two styles, four sizes, and in a two-pack).

    17. A slightly cropped half-zip pullover you'll wanna wear, like, every single day. It looks suuuuper similar to the Lululemon one but at a way lower price, and reviewers are totally LOVIN' it.

    Reviewer in gray version

    Promising review: "I saw this sweatshirt advertised by an influencer on TikTok. I purchased almost immediately because everyone said it was a good alternative for the Lululemon jacket. I was blown away by the quality of this jacket!! It’s super soft. I purchased a size small and it fit perfectly." —Rebecca Slattery

    Get it from Amazon for $27.74+ (available in women's sizes S–2XL and 21 colors). 

    18. A reviewer-beloved veggie chopper for my friends who can't dice a vegetable without a potential trip to the hospital (🙋🏽‍♀️). If chopping those veggies seems too time consuming, this will save you sooo much time. Spiral, slice, and dice with this super convenient, dishwasher-safe kitchen gadget. 

    Reviewer putting a potato on a flip top lid cutter and bringing the lid down to chop it into pieces
    reviewers container filled with chopped red onion

    A plus is that this baby can slice through a potato, BUT remember how sharp that means it is and BE CAREFUL touching the blades! You'll get four different blades including a small dicer, large dicer, a spiral blade, and a ribbon blade.

    Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

    Promising review: "Surprisingly, this is a wonderful, sturdy kitchen tool. I bought it to use with onions but it works wonderfully with just about any veggie and fruit. My family loves chili, soups and stews this time of year. This cut the job of preparing to less than a third. It works on just about any veggie but beware the size. If you are cutting a really hard veggie, use smaller pieces for the machine. I would buy it again. It has actually taken the place of my much more expensive food processor. I wish I could return the much more expensive food processor, this does everything I wanted a food processor for." —E. M. Brooks

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four sizes and four colors). 

    19. Maybelline's Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil that has Benefit's Goof Proof trembling with fear cuz this is just as good for less. The devil on your shoulder is def chanting *add to cart* right now and for once, you might just listen cuz your expensive brow pencil is eating up your pockets.

    The tool comes with two ends: one a small eyebrow brush and the other a specially-edged eyebrow pencil.

    Promising review: "I bought this because it looked like an alternative for Goof Proof brow pencil and I was tired of spending ridiculous amounts on that! I actually like it better than Goof Proof (and for a quarter of the price)! I find it even creamier and easier to use. The tip is perfect if you have a good amount of brow to fill in." —Liza T. 

    Get it from Amazon for $8.54 (available in four shades).

    20. foundation brush with some seriously firm but still seriously soft bristles that'll help you achieve a beat so flawless, people may ask if it was professionally done. It's perfect for both powder and liquid concealers, blushes, and foundations and if you're a blending newbie.

    Promising review: "I loved this brush so much I bought two more! It is the perfect blending brush for liquid, cream foundation, primers, concealers, and tinted sunscreen. I have brushes that were much more expensive but I love this one best. I just ordered the eye brush set to try them out, too." —kyglo

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).

    21. Some stain-removing spray that'll make you go "oh yeah! I forgot these socks were white." Stains and odors, buh-byeeee!

    reviewer's stained white shirt
    reviewer's white shirt with stain removed

    Promising reviews: "AMAZING STUFF! I could not get the scuffs off my white uniform scrubs. Washed it so many times with other stain removers, used the pencil removers, soaked it, scrubbed it, and nothing. But this stuff? Omg, I sprayed it, let it sit for almost eight hours then washed it, the stains are completely gone!!! This is what made magic a thing, lol" —Nini N.

    "Previous products I tried partially removed stains, this one completely removed stains from red wine, chocolate, and tomato sauce! A brand new white blouse had a coffee stain on the front and Tide, OxiClean, and Spray and Wash only lightened the stain. By the time I discovered Puracy, the blouse had been stored in the closet for months. Using both the Puracy stain remover and laundry detergent removed the stain and the blouse looks new. I have reordered both products and will continue to use them. Only issue is that the tops of the bottles have been loose so they leaked." —Sue Dill

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (also available in a two-pack).

    22. A jewelry-cleaning pen so you can dazzle people with your jewelry, real or fake. The second I'm proposed to I'm gonna be overly annoying about showing it off and for it to SPARKLE?! *gasp* I'm gonna be unstoppable. Thanos probably used this stick to keep the infinity stones shiny.

    Promising review: "I use this to clean my engagement ring every week — sometimes every two weeks so I can REALLY see the difference, lol. It does a better job than the expensive liquid cleaner I bought from a high-end jeweler and it’s much easier and faster to use. Can’t recommend enough!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (also available in multipacks).

    23. A 40-ounce Simple Modern tumbler with a handle that comes in bright pink since you couldn't snag the Starbucks Stanley cup at Target. This little insulated baby has your name written all over it. Plus it comes with two straws! Say hello to your new emotional support water bottle. Stanley, who?

    Be sure to hand wash this bb!

    Promising review: "I’ve been using Simple Modern bottles since my sophomore year of college, so when I graduated and needed a 'big girl' tumbler that wasn’t covered in stickers and would be cute and functional in a professional environment, getting an SM tumbler was a no-brainer for me. I absolutely love the sea glass sage color, and of course, I had to get a matching 32-ounce water bottle, too! These are so sturdy, keeps my water icy cold through the day and the night, and motivates me to hydrate like no other. 1,000x cuter than a Stanley tumbler or a Hydro Flask, and a much more reasonable price! I get compliments on it every single day. I absolutely cannot recommend this brand and these tumblers enough!" —Hannah Rodlund

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in 31 colors and two sizes).

    24. Maybelline's Cheek Heat gel-cream blush for a stunning, natural flush that rivals Glossier's Cloud Paint at a fraction of the cost. A 👏 FRACTION 👏 OF 👏 THE 👏 COST 👏 . *Sigh* one of the best phrases to hear. I wanna add all six shades to my cart, how about you?

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says:

    "I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable alternative, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I got the Rose Flush shade and enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!" 

    Get it from Amazon for $5.96+ (available in six shades). 

    25. mini belt bag or a fanny pack, if you will, with an adjustable strap that's super stylish and will hold your things while you go hiking, to concerts, travel, ya know. Also a reviewer-beloved Lululemon belt bag swap!

    Promising reviews: "I honestly use this product every day and it's so amazing. A great Lululemon alternative! So many pockets, really great color, easy to throw in the wash, easy to adjust the straps, and I really like how it clips in FRONT of you so you don't have to worry about anyone unclipping it from the back. Really great bag and I love it so much." —laura kulish

    Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in 43 colors).

    26. A pair of short pull-on boots with memory foam that are super warm. Plus, everyone on TikTok is styling the heck outta these and they look sooo much like Ugg boots.

    Promising reviews: "Perfect Ugg ultra mini alternative. They were just what I was hoping for and I cannot wait to buy more! I wore the crap out of them last winter and they look a little rough but I am a mom of two young kids and just love how convenient they are to slip on with whatever and go! Also they are warm and comfy!! Very happy with them. —Taylor Brown

    "I’m not kidding! I saw some girl review them on TikTok and bought them on a whim and I love them. The color is so cute and they’re just as comfortable as my Uggs, if not more. Buy them." —Allie Costanza

    Get them from Amazon for $49.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and 11 colors).

    27. A pair of high-rise yoga shorts because you've been dying for another pair of the Lululemon Align shorts but your wallet has been dying for you to stop purchasing them and save some money. They have a wide, seamless waist band and four-way stretch that'll ensure you the comfiest fit.

    Promising review: "Lululemon Align alternative...maybe even better. I own the Align leggings and their Align shorts have been sold out for months so I bought these for the meantime and they are amazing! These have yet to pill like the Aligns but the fitting and material feels identical. Would buy again and possibly in different colors." —Jasmine

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 2–12, three inseams, and 19 colors). 

    28. L'Oréal 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar that can give you shiny, silky, healthier-looking hair in just eight seconds.

Reviewers are throwing their expensive versions to the side cuz this stuff is a 🌟 star 🌟.

    Promising review: "I finished the Redken product and went right to the L'Oreal product and there is no difference. Great for repairing bleach/color treated hair. Instantly makes my fine hair soft and smooth and much easier to comb through after showering. I use in between shampoo and conditioner and love it. It's a hair game changer." —anonymous87

    Get it from Amazon for $9.40.

    29. A versatile workout/lounge set you'll fall in love with as quickly as Disney princesses fall in love with princes. Perfect to work out in or to wear out and about while staying comfy and stylish. Plus, they're serving the Skims look for way less...I mean, the name-brand pieces aren't even sold together.

    Promising review: "Love the color and fit, wish there were more neutrals/nudes. I ordered a small which was true to size. Overall adore the set. Will probably be ordering in another color, I do enjoy how the top is adjustable and it’s a great Skims swap!🤎" —Maggie

    Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 17 colors). 

    30. A well-made high-neck zippered running jacket that reviewers are comparing to the viral Lululemon jacket. It has thumb holes + built-in mittens, is sweat-wicking, has mesh panels for breathability and compression to trap heat, and is just plain cute. Wear it to yoga, the gym, hiking, while running errands, whatever! You'll look ahhh-mazing wherever you go in it.

    Promising review: "This is a Lululemon alternative, and it's extremely well done. Just as well made and high quality, but at less than a quarter of the price. The medium fits perfectly and I can fit a thin long-sleeve shirt underneath. If I wanted to layer it more, I'd need a large. If I only wanted to wear it with a sports bra, I'd wear a small. The fabric is stretchy, nice, and thick, but I haven't yet worn it in cooler weather to say how warm it is. I'm considering buying a few more in other colors. Probably my favorite athletic clothing purchase of the year!" —Wendy Piersall

    31. A pair of round sunglasses reviewers are actually comparing to Prada and Ray-Ban. Be prepared to obsess over these cutie little sunnies — you'll never wanna take 'em off.

    Promising review: "For the money you can’t beat em! These look amazing on my face like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried different pairs and this brand looks and feels comparable to a pair of Ray-Bans and Pradas. I have a smaller face and to me this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier, just wish there were six stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes they do." —Christina

    32. A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts with an underwear liner and a side pocket that are bound to become your new fave shorts to wear on your afternoon jog. They're so lightweight, you'll forget you even have pants on.

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has these and here's what she thinks: "I recently bought these shorts because I needed some more breathable summer options, and they're phenom! I love the huge range of colors you can buy these in (at other places they often sell out too quickly to get to pick!), love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don't have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or face mask. I only have them in purple so far, but I'm excited to try other colors!"

    Promising reviews: "Got these to see how they compare to Lululemon shorts and they are spot-on if not better. They fit perfectly and feel great. Will purchase more soon!" —Nathan R. 

    "I bought these in an attempt to find Lululemon Tracker short swaps and these are perfect! They stay up, are super comfortable, and the pocket is big enough for a phone. I want to buy them in every color." —Lisa

    33. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant that'll ever so gently help to eliminate rough or bumpy skin. People with keratosis pilaris are raving about this product and its smoothing powers.

    Promising review: "My son has had a rash on both upper arms forever. You can see/feel difference after just one wash! Tried expensive prescription creams that did nothing. This stuff started working after first try. It really is amazing!" —Garcia

    Get it from Amazon for $12.

    34. A pair of drawstring lounge pants you'll find yourself throwing on, like, ALL the time. Whether you're heading to the airport, running errands, or just chillin' and vibin', you'll wanna have these on your booty.

    Promising review: "BUY THESE! Total swap for Lululemon’s 'On the Fly' pant (which I just bought full price a week before discovering these). Only difference is this material is slightly thinner than the Lululemon ones. Which is a total trade off for $22 vs $98 for the Lululemon ones. I wear a 6 in Lululemon and ordered a S (4/6) in these, which fit a bit more snug. Buying the navy ASAP." —Kbrewer912

    35. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo to save you from constantly throwing $$$ to hairdressers just to keep the brass out your hair. Say goodbye to yellow brassy tones and helloooo to cool, neutral, gorg blonde hair.

    Promising reviews: "I never write reviews, but this stuff is magic in a bottle. I'm a level 7 blonde with high level highlights and hair that loves to pull red. If my hair starts to look brassy I use this and voila — looks like I just came out of the salon again. I'd love it even if it didn't make my hair feel soft, but it does that too! Please don't ever stop making this!" —scooptwins

    "Best bang for your buck! I’ve used several expensive purple shampoos before and this product is just as good if not better than expensive brands!" —monique
