Promising review: "Perfect! Purchased these as a last-minute Christmas gift for my daughter and they arrived super fast. Every single one is perfect, the velvet is soft and they are well made. My daughter absolutely loves them and there is literally a color to go with everything. The colors range from some darks, medium tones, pastels and even some brights. Highly recommend, very very pleased with this purchase!!" âLisa S

Promising review: "This mirror is not only the perfect height, it is the perfect size, weight, and offers the correct lighting to make your makeup look perfect. I've been using it for about a month now and can confidently say that out of the many makeup mirrors I have owned, this is the best. It's not too bulky so I can bring it with me when I travel, it's extremely easy to clean, and the lighting is exactly what you'd expect from something like this. Soft â not harsh. It mimics daylight extremely well. Buy it!" âJess

Promising review: "I have very thick, wavy hair. I can never blow out my hair because it's too hard to hold the round brush and hair dryer in the right spots. THIS!! It is everything all in one and the oval shape makes it so easy to use. It gets really hot. It is a little loud on high, but I've found if my hair is already a little dry then I can just use it on low. I used a blow-dry primer spray to accelerate the drying time and protect my hair. I'm in love! The flat iron always flattens my hair and makes it look dry. This straightens and retains the volume and gives it a soft, nondamaged look." âSAHM2011
Get it from Amazon for $34.88+ (available in seven colors).
The bristles are vegan and cruelty-free, made of durable synthetic fiber that's soft and silky! This set will fulfill pretty much all of your makeup needs, including a blending brush, eyebrow brush, multiple eyeshadow brushes, as well as ones suited for eyeliner, contouring, blush, and more.
Promising review: "I am a makeup brush fanatic! I own Sigma and Sephora and It Cosmetics brushes, as well as Elf and Real Techniques. I love quality, not brand labels. This is one of the best makeup brush sets I own. There are lots of thick soft hairs in the brush that help to create a smooth flawless looking finish. The handle and ferrule are made of nice materials and lend the brushes the perfect balance of weight right where you need it." âChristina

Promising review: "I am without a doubt BLOWN AWAY by these products. I have never bought anything nor knew anyone that had tried these products. I went on a complete whim and made the purchase. NO REGRETS WHAT SO EVER!!! Brow Flick surprised me given I sweat a lot at work. I didnât experience any smearing! The product is almost like a fine detailing pen which made drawing individual hairs suuuuper easy and gave a very natural almost microbladed look to my brows which I LOVED! The Boy Brow is also just as wonderful. No flaking or smudging and kept my brows in place! The pigment is also very good. I donât think Iâll ever use another product again. *AHEM* good bye Anastasia Beverly Hills, hello GLOSSIER!!" âTyler

I AM GROOT!! (That's Groot-speak for "OMG, I need it" đ).
Promising review: "I don't write many reviews, but I absolutely had to write one for this special little guy! My wife got me into succulents not too long ago and I've been pretty addicted. I have many small pots already, but this one, this one right here, is special. First of all, quality for price is amazing! The detail is great and it even has a small hole on the bottom for drainage. It looks adorable with a small 2-3 inch succulent in it. With the one I have, it totally looks like Groot has some sick hair! I love love love it! Five stars all around. If you love Groot, you'll love this pot!" âBigD

Promising review: "I bought this one day when my old charcoal face mask ran out. Not only can I use this as a face wash, I can use it as a scrub and a mask!! Anytime I use this, my face feels softer and looks brighter. A definite must-have!" âfiy777
Get it from CVS for $7.79.
Promising review: "Been putting on masks for years. Dead Sea mud, cold cream, et al...using initially small spatulas, then brushes and finally just using my fingers. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing better for putting on a mask than these brushes... I was stunned... the end is curved and smooth. Once one gets a feel for the application bending pressure of the silicone (slight) blade, I was automatically a professional mask applicator. It puts on such an even mask of any kind it's almost unreal. The outside tips of the silicone brush (blade) accesses corners that are delicate under the nose, nose bridge where it meets the eye, outside corners of the eyes. These are so precise, it makes putting on a mask of any sort not a dreaded occasion but it's on and perfect in literally a minute...They are great. Anyone who administers masks, be it personal or professional, should have a set of these. You'll use them once and you'll never use anything else. They make you a pro and they are so economical." âMichael N. Dotson

In addition to the wide range of colors and versatility, the technology makes them ~extremely~ comfy! Unlike many chunky sneaker designs, these are very lightweight. The inner layer is snug, stretchy, and hugs your foot like a sock. They're breathable and I never have to worry about them coming untied.

Promising review: "These little macaron containers are perfect. I am using them for various crafting purposes and to travel. I use them to travel and put my smaller stud earrings in them. I take them with me for paperclips and stuff in office when I have meetings on the go. The colors are very pretty and the quantity is more than adequate for the cost. They are very nicely made and were individually packaged. This is a fun item especially if you are short on space and only need small storage." âMarie70

Promising review: "These stickers were a gift for my 15-year-old daughter for Christmas. Upon going through them with her, it was a blast from the past, as she let me take a few of them from her pack; even shared some with her 18-year-old sister. These were the coolest stickers, even made me contemplate buying another pack. I have collected stickers since I was her age, and I seek out certain stickers myself. Even now at 50, I add them to my work planners (I work for the school system), I add them to my vision boards (I am a jewelry stylist) and I have them on my laptop. These stickers evoke a feeling of nostalgia and happiness!!" âIslandWahine

Promising review: "Love them all! The colors are great and so smooth. Lasts a long time too. At my age (65), lipstick and lip balm can be tricky, but the ones I've tried so far have a light subtle coloring that look so natural. Was worried that some of the colors I ordinarily would never consider would be wasted, but was pleasantly surprised at how nice they look on my lips. A good way to find your favorites." âSusan

Promising review: "Thereâs a lot of ridiculous things that make me qualify for Rouge status year after year. $400 Dyson blow dryer, ridiculous. $70 Armani foundation, ridiculous. $100 Sunday Riley oil, ridiculous. All of the $100s spent on Dior, Tatcha, La Mer, Tata Harper lip balms? RIDICULOUS. However, Laneige $20 lip balm â NOT ridiculous. Do not take it lightly when I say this will be the best chapstick you ever use. Nasty winter lips? This will erase that in two nights. Cracked lips? Three nights. Bad breakup leaving you crying with puffy undereyes and even puffier lips? One night. This stuff is magic and if this cost even $40 I would STILL buy it. I own both this and the vanilla one and love both. It lasts a super long time so cost per use is probably $0.0001 but maybe Iâm just saying that to make me feel better about my spending habits. If thereâs one thing at Sephora that you should purchase based on a cosmetic shopaholicâs opinion, it is this. Thank me later." âteee1254
