Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A one-shoulder fit-and-flare dress with *pockets*, a precious bow detail, and the ability to make you instantly wedding- or party-guest-ready — just add booties, pumps, or sandals and some statement earrings.
Promising review: "Most amazing dress. This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I have never received so many compliments before on a dress! Fit perfect!" —Monica Andrews
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 25 styles, including velvet versions).
2. Cloud Paint, Glossier's bestselling gel-cream blush that's cruelty-free, buildable, and absolutely beloved by reviewers, so it's ready to become your new holy grail and give you the perfect natural-looking flush.
Promising review: "I've been on the hunt for years to replicate that rosy 'just went for a run' look that my cheeks get when I work out, and the blushes I thought were close were either too red or pinky and artificial looking. I saw the shade Storm and I was worried it would be too dark on my light-medium skin but it's not! It blends *s e a m l e s s l e y* into a healthy flush that looks exactly like it's my own skin and not makeup. The texture is unlike any cream or liquid blush I've tried, it evenly disperses the pigment as you blend it in with your fingers or a foundation brush and you don't have to worry about overdoing it." —BabydollyVintage
Get it from Glossier for $18 (available in eight colors).
3. Stila Stay All Day waterproof liquid eyeliner, which reviewers claim to be the best of the best. Getting the perfect cat eye might not be as impossible as you thought.
Check out BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O'Connell's rave Stila eyeliner review.
Promising review: "I love this product. It's so easy to apply and lasts SOOO LONG. Seriously, this eyeliner lasts literally an entire two days if you don't take it off at night. The black is also super black, which I love. I have had this eyeliner for a while now and it hasn't gotten watered down whatsoever." —Jenny Journals
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three tip sizes and in eight colors).
4. Or, to make it even easier, a pair of eyeliner stamp pens made for anyone who has ever spent over 20 minutes in the mirror trying to get that perfect cat-eye that probably only Cleopatra and Taylor Swift are capable of. Now you can make it out of the house on time and still have the perfect look, and it's long-lasting, too!
It comes with two stamps (one for the right eye, one for the left), both of which have a black liquid liner pen on the other end, so you've got everything you need to create the purr-fect look.
Promising review: "I just want to make my morning routine as easy as possible. I love winged liner but I don’t have the steady hand for it without mistakes. This makes a perfect and consistent wing every time. Love it! I ordered the 10 mm and now i’ll have to try the 12 mm!" —Julie B
Get it from Amazon for $12.72 (available in three sizes).
5. A classic and cult-fave Calvin Klein logo bralette that's loungewear and underwear all in one...loungewear for your boobs, shall we say. But don't for a second think that means it's not incredibly selfie-ready.
Promising review: "This is the most comfortable bralette in the world. Please note I said bralette and not sports bra — this offers minimal to no support and I would never recommend it for physical activity. FYI it is also cut to offer minimal coverage. This is very stretchy. I wear this everywhere. It’s cute if you want to show it off under a flannel or cropped sweatshirt, or as just a nice piece to wear under tank tops, etc. The material is UNBELIEVABLY soft; it feels like you aren’t wearing a bra at all. I put this in the wash with all my clothes and let it hang to dry, and I’ve had no problems with shrinking or pilling at all. I will warn you though, it is thin so if you get chilly, everyone will know you’re cold. You know." —Courtney S
Get it from Amazon for $22.05+ (available in sizes XS-3X and in 35 colors and prints). Get the matching thong here.
6. A matching cardigan and mini skirt, because two-piece sets are back, baby. I truly hope someone has told Taylor Swift; as if she needed one more reason to release1989 (Taylor's Version) ASAP.
7. Posh wide-leg pants ready to take crop tops and pretty much every top you'd usually tuck into jeans to new, Parisian-chic heights.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "New wardrobe staple! Awesome pants! The quality would make me think they cost more like $60–90. I bought the tan ones and after wearing them a couple times went back a week later and bought them in black. Now, I’m 5’6”, and normally when I buy this kind of pants they end up being wayyy too long, but these are the perfect height with 1–3” heels! They do drag a tiny bit with flats, but I prefer small heels anyway, and it’s not a major tripping hazard or anything. Also I wear a size 10–12 normally, but ordered these in 12–14 both times. I probably could’ve gotten away with ordering a 10, but I’m glad I ordered a size up, because it is loose and has some extra room at the waist. Highly recommend! Buy different colors!" —Stephanie
Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X, with the off-white pair also available in short lengths, and in 29 colors and prints).
8. A long-lasting cosmic glitter eyeliner from queer-owned brand Fluide that's cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free, and truly out of this world.
Promising review: "Highly recommended! This liner is amazing!!! I've tried so many different types of liquid liner, and none of of them were as easy to put on or stayed so well. I can do any wacky liner looks I want with this product." —Margaux N.
Get it from Fluide for $15 (available in eight colors) or Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight colors).
9. A special, delicate, and super layerable 18k gold-plated, sterling silver, and cubic zirconia necklace I'm willing to bet you'll wear every single day. Why take it off, when it makes you want to bust out into the chorus of "I Feel Pretty"?
Get it from Baublebar for $78 (available in two styles).
10. A gluten- and cruelty-free mascara that'll get your lashes to look their all-time best and stay that way — reviewers say actually stays the heck on, even through long days and sweat. As if that wasn't amazing enough, it's Only. Five. Dollars.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd (whose lovely face is pictured above) says it really lives up to the hype! Check out her full Essence Lash Princess mascara review.
Promising review: "Best mascara of all time!!! Never will I ever be without this mascara. I've got short, thin lashes and have had a graveyard of mascara that I would constantly give to my friend or daughter because they never lived up to the hype. This is amazing. I will sometimes add a fiber thing with it to make it even better, but it's great on its own. And the price makes it even more ridiculous. I seriously had my doubts but I'm a total fan now after using it. Getting ready to buy another tube now. It's lasted three months so far and I use it pretty much daily. I can't tell how much is left, but I don't want to risk being without it." —angmoore
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
11. A regal metallic pleated maxi skirt with an elastic waist, because who says glam and comfy can't mix? This will give new, sparkly life to any — and I mean any — top in your closet.
For example, I am living for the way the reviewer above styled it with a casual hoodie!!!!
Promising review: "The pictures do not do this skirt justice. I received over 20 compliments at our company Christmas party. The silver is both a light silver and dark silver at the same time and it picks up and mimics whatever color you put with it. It’s the perfect complement to any top!!" —Teri M
Get it from Amazon for $22.96+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 14 colors and knee- or ankle-length).
12. Scene-stealing funky-framed sunglasses, which — warning — might get you mistaken for a celebrity.
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these shades. They have such a rich, sophisticated, and classy look. They have an extremely sturdy construction, with a good weight to them, and are trendy. The packaging was great; the magnetic case, insert, and dust cloth make you think you paid $100+, but I only paid $15. 😊 Well worth it and I would buy again." —Msjayyb
Get them from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 14 colors).
13. Fenty Beauty's Diamond Veil, a glimmering highlighter that'll make anywhere you apply it (you know I had to say it) shine bright like a diamond. Body, face, wherever — your outfit won't even need jewelry, because you are the jewelry.
It's gluten- and cruelty-free!
Promising review: "This gives off a beautiful bronzy summer goddess vibe! It shimmers without the nastiness of gritty glitter! I cannot wait for it to be summertime to put this on my shoulders, arms, body, etc." —vanessakahlua5
Get it from Sephora for $40 (available in three shades).
14. An acid wash pink denim mini skirt Barbie herself would envy.
15. A super cute and twirlworthy cutout swimdress that'll put basic bikinis to shame and to turn the path from your room to the pool into your own personal catwalk on your next vacay.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "Stop looking and BUY this! This is the best bathing suit I've ever had. I wanted something sexy but cute! I took a chance on this swimsuit and OH. MY. GOD. It makes me look and feel like a bombshell! I bought a size up from my normal size and the fit is perfect! The material is fantastic. High quality and makes you feel supported. The chest area is so nice and the padding is beautiful. I'm definitely gonna buy another! I've already had so many compliments and friends asking where I found this gem! Buy. This. Bathing suit." —Asia Pasmat
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes XL–5XL and in 20 prints).
16. A set of straw statement earrings so your spring and summer outfits will never be lacking a fashionable finishing touch. These are sure to become ~woven~ into your regular rotation.
17. It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ cream, a foundation whose name really says it all. It gives a super-natural look with full coverage and color correction, SPF 50+ (!!!), and a smoothing and hydrating effect. You (and your face) are gonna fall in love.
Wait, it has more amazing features? Hell yeah. It's made with skin superstar ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants and is paraben- and cruelty-free.
Promising review: "This is an excellent foundation for low-maintenance people. It provides great coverage, sinks in to look like your own skin, and all with an SPF of 50+. I'm over 40 and it does not make me look older, which is a key selling point. You know how some days you don't want to do the whole makeup routine but would like to have your skin evened out? And if you put on foundation (and maybe concealer) by itself, it looks funky? Like you didn't finish your face? This product is the solution to that problem. I don't like to wear makeup everyday. I can put this on as sunscreen with the added benefit of evening out my complexion without looking like I have makeup on. All I do is pat it all over my face before gently rubbing it in, the same as I would sunscreen. If I add a dab of concealer here and there before it sets, it all melds into the skin and looks like I didn't do a thing. It definitely sets as more 'dewy,' so if you have oily skin this may not be the product for you. I have combination skin, oily/normal in the summer and normal/dry in the winter. I set it with a light dusting of powder and setting spray in the summer, but in the winter it's just fine for me." —PrettyApple
Get it from Sephora for $42 (available in 11 shades).
18. A whimsical cropped tee and shorts PJ set available in tons of sweet designs you will won't want to ~sleep on~, but should sleep in. Because you deserve to look adorbs even when you're snoozing.
These were super popular with our readers back when I first started at BuzzFeed, and over the years I have collected many, many sets of them. They make me smile every time I put them on, and they look so cute on that sometimes I'm even tempted to take a selfie in them! I run hot when I sleep, so the shorts-and-cropped-tee combination is perfect. They're comfy and machine-washable, too. There are so many ridiculously adorable prints available, you'll understand why I wasn't able to limit myself to just one pair.
Promising review: "These are so fun! Very comfortable, and in the days of Zoom meetings I can wake up and wear them to an online meeting and no one really knows the top is a PJ top, which is a bonus. Ha!" —Carly Cartmill
Get them from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 31 styles).
19. A very on-trend shirt jacket (aka a shacket), which, as the name suggests, can be styled like a shirt or a jacket. It's basically the spork of the fashion world. Versatility, people!
Promising review: "I originally bought a large because I wanted it to fit with a little room. I ended up replacing it with a medium because it is already a loose design. I absolutely love this jacket and I have already worn it a dozen times. That's rare because as a clothing-a-holic, I have so many others to choose from." —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors).
20. A pair of stunning embellished headbands that are essentially crowns you can wear with T-shirts and jeans, even if you don't come from royal blood. Could have fooled me.
Promising review: "These headbands are lovely! They easily dress up any outfit. They are comfortable to wear and don't cause headaches. I love adding this to a simple outfit as a statement accessory. I have worn it with a fitted black top and jeans and received many compliments. I recommend these stunning headbands!" —❤AMommy👩👧👦
Get a set of two from Amazon for $41.99.
21. A glitzy Betsey Johnson bag with rhinestones and a crossbody chain strap that's sooooo much easier to carry than most dressy bags, but just as (if not more) fabulous. Honestly, I think you could totally carry this as a shot of sparkle with a more casual look, too!
22. A truly delightful set of patterned nail wrap stickers that will make it look like you got professional nail art done, but are actually a fraction of the price and will probably last longer.
I just ordered this set after trying out a different, now-sold-out pattern from this Utah-based shop, because I had to have more. I'm honestly blown away — I've had these stickers on for over a week, and they are still over 90% intact on every finger, and not a single one has fallen off since I applied them. As if that wasn't enough, they're somehow only FIVE BUCKS. They weren't hard to apply or shape to my nails at all. All of that + plus the fact that this small biz makes tons and tons more designs for their wraps (which are made from real nail polish on medical-grade adhesive) = many more orders in my future. The only thing I didn't like was that there was a lot of pesky peeling involved to access each sticker, and that combined with my short nails mean that the process made a decent amount of waste. Still, I'm super excited about finding this brand, and the fact that each set comes with a few extras means you have backups if you mess up *or* you can save them for future manis to come (hello accent nails!). And psst, another tip: I finished off my mani with my favorite Orly top coat.
Get 16 wraps from Sawyer and Scout on Etsy for $4.99.
23. Cruelty-free hydrocolloid star-shaped pimple patches to not only blast your zits to another galaxy (uh, I mean, shrink 'em and prevent you from picking) but also look like a cool accessory while doing so.
Promising reviews: "I love love love! Helps me feel way more comfortable in my skin. I also get a lot of compliments about how cute they are." —Melanie C.
"They work sooo well and would almost completely get rid of my acne!! 100% recommend." —KK
Get a pack of 32 and a refillable case from Target or Starface for $14.99 (you can also get a pack of the patches without the case for $10.99).
24. Winky Lux Glimmer Balm in Rosé, a glitzy, cruelty-free, vegan, phthalate- and sulfate-free wonder of a lippie that adjusts to the pH of your skin to turn the perfect, noticeable-yet-natural(ish) shade of pink. Because everything — including the most minimal beauty routines — is better with glitter.
I'm obsessed with this stuff, as evidenced by my need to post the above selfie to Insta the first day I wore it. I think the really amazing thing about it (besides the sorcery that allows it to adjust to your unique skin tone) is how well it suits all different beauty styles. For example, I really don't wear makeup other than the occasional statement lip to suit my outfit. I never — seriously, never — wear natural-looking lip color. This is fun and makes enough of a statement for me to actually want to wear it. On the other hand, even though the bullet is super glittery, the finish on your lips doesn't look too much glitzier than a gloss, so even my typically sparkle-avoiding mom wants to borrow it! If it's the closest lip balm at hand, I'll even use it when my lips are dry and I'm not going anywhere, because it's subtle and why not take the opportunity to look extra cute?
Get it from Target for $16.
25. A set of 20 (!!!) glam and super on-trend hair clips to help you break out of your hair rut without doing something drastic, like getting bangs.
(Disclaimer: I have bangs and probably will till I die).
Promising review: "I love these! The quality and price are amazing. I tried Target, Ulta, CosmoProf, and various other stores looking for pearl barrettes, but I either couldn’t find what I was looking for or didn’t want to pay $15 for a single clip. This set came with so many pretty, trendy, wearable styles! I will say, the barrette-style clips are larger than average, but I really liked that about them. They photograph so well. Buy them!!" —Stella
Get a set of 20 from Amazon for $8.99.
26. A woven crossbody tote sure to put a ~spring~ in your step and make all your floral dresses feel fresh.
This cuteness is from The Tiny Tassel, a Black woman-owned, Charleston-based business that specializes in cheerful accessories (often featuring, yup, tassels) and clothes (handmade by the founder's mom!).
Get it from The Tiny Tassel for $40 (available in five colors).
27. A pack of LOLworthy animal face masks each with different skincare ingredients and each boasting a sweet creature face, so they'll help you look cute when they're on *and* after they're off.
Promising review: "These masks are great! They don’t dry up while in use (like some other masks I’ve gotten on Amazon), and they’re cute for grown-ups and kids. I can see a difference in skin immediately after use." —Stay Trippy
Get a set of six from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in eight combinations).
28. A retro-inspired kitty print top with a sweetheart neckline *and* a sweetheart vibe. Pinup model, but make it CATS.
29. An iconic Levi's faux leather moto jacket in the bright color of your dreams. It comes in so many hues and textures, from basic to bold, you're sure to find one that'll completely update your wardrobe and make you swoon (I certainly did).
I own too many jackets; it's just a fact. I don't wear fur or leather for ethical reasons, so I specifically own a lot of faux leather jackets. Purple is my favorite color, so yes, I own a few purple jackets. But let me tell you, I ordered this baby right after I saw it anyway, closet space be damned. It's such a rich, pigmented, unusual shade of purple (not eggplant, not lilac, but IN-YOUR-FACE-BRIGHT purple) that I couldn't pass it up. These are definitely thicker moto jackets, which means they're not like lighter faux leather jackets I have that I can almost toss on like a sweatshirt. No, these are definitely made to be part of a more put-together look, but they are great for it. The length is excellent, because it's cropped enough I could see it working with skirts or dresses, but not so cropped that it looks awkward with jeans. I've only worn it once so far, but I have plenty of other outfit ideas. I rocked it as part of a super layered look, and both for that reason and for comfort I would recommend going up a size if you're between sizes!
Get it from Amazon for $53.63+ (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in 34 colors and prints).
30. Pull-on printed pants with elastic at the back, because you want to look chic but actually wearing something with buttons and zippers may be taking it a bit too far. These have pockets and are just as polished as their fastening-fettered counterparts.
Reviewers strongly recommend sizing down!
Promising review: "Love the fabric and print of these pants, which can be dressed up with heels and a silky shirt or down with trainers and a sweater/T-shirt/casual shirt. A great addition to my wardrobe." —anonymous
Get them from Boden for $95 (available in sizes 2–20/22 regular and 2–10 petite and in four colors and prints).
31. Orly's Bonder base coat that will change your nail game for good. It'll keep that beautiful mani/pedi you worked so hard on intact for days (perhaps weeks) to come, and actually make your nails easier to paint, so they don't look like the capital of Smudge City.
The reviewer with the gorg mani above said their nails stayed perfect after a long day of gardening and housework! I personally am an Orly devotee as well — I love pretty much all their products that I've tried, and their polish bottles have an excellent grippy handle. After seeing the amazing reviews for the base coat, I tried it too, and I'm blown away. The product calls itself "rubberized," which is a great way to describe the not unpleasantly sticky way it leaves your nails ready to better stick to polish. The major bonus is that with this, my clumsy self is able to do a better job painting my nails to begin with. Because of said rubbery stickiness, my polish brush doesn't slip all over the place or over the edges of my super-short nails. I'm able to do a way cleaner, more precise job, which then lasts longer too. I'm now able to take it for granted that my nails will stay looking pretty good for close to a week.That's way longer than usual for me, so TL;DR, this is an all-around win-win and a *must* buy.
Promising review: "JUST BUY IT. This stuff is amazing. Prior to using this, my nails would last two, AT MOST three days without chipping. Now that I use this as a base coat, my manicures last at least a week with no major chipping. The very edge or tip might become worn down a little, but it's definitely not noticeable. I could probably keep them looking decent for two weeks if I added another coat of topcoat and was a little more careful with them. I was skeptical about buying this at first because I wasn't sure that a base coat would make much of a difference in the longevity of my manicure. I thought the secret to lasting nails mostly depended on the topcoat used, but I was wrong. Doing my nails is a lot more fun now that I don't have to worry about chipping after two days!" —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $8.95.
32. Chunky platform loafers with lug soles that'll literally and figuratively elevate every dress or pair of wide-leg pants you style them with. Hello, new spring shoe staple.
Get them from ModCloth for $70 (available in sizes 6–10).
33. Glam faux-leather leggings that could easily pass for a pricey pair and will make everything — from sweaters to tees to going-out tops — look about a zillion times more posh.
Some reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "IN LOVE!!! They aren't cheap looking at all!!! I originally bought them for a cosplay, but ended up wearing them for fashion purposes and they're a hit!!!!!! Super comfy and stretchy around the waist!!!" —Rebecca J
Get them from Amazon for $20.90 (available in sizes S–XXL).
34. An awww-worthy eye brush set so you'll even look cute as you *apply* your makeup. Each brush is shaped like a handy kitchen utensil, and the included case looks like a lil' apron — yes, really — so get ready to ~cook~ up your best shadow look yet.
It comes with five brush types: eyeshadow base, smudge, angled, blending, and pencil.
Beauty Bakerie is a cruelty-free, Black woman-owned beauty brand entirely devoted to *adorable* sweets-themed makeup goodies. Their website also has a whole page of Black Lives Matter resources you can check out here.
Promising review: "I bought these just because they were adorable!! I am very pleased to say what great brushes they are. They are quality and useable, not just fun to look at. Well-made and no shedding after cleaning." —Rhonda
Get a set of five plus a holder from Ulta for $30.
35. Stretchy and iconic bell-bottom jeans reviewers think have all the right ~bells and whistles~ to be a bold style statement that's actually wearable. They come in lots of cool colors, too, so your old skinnies and straight legs are guaranteed to be jealous.
Promising review: "At first, I thought they were too tight, but they stretched nicely throughout the day! I’m extremely pleased. They look so good, and I’ve gotten many compliments! The fit is great, they’re gorgeous ESPECIALLY with heels, and I couldn’t be any happier" —Kate Sweets
Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 12 colors).
36. And a squee-worthy Baby Yoda eyeshadow palette featuring matte, shimmer, and glitter shades with names like "Light Saber" and "Ahsoka" so you can create looks from casual to glam, depending on where you're headed in the galaxy.
