1. cocokind Mymatcha All Over Moisturizer Stick is one of those products you don't want to leave home without. It's completely versatile, so you can use it for practically anywhere you need moisture or a little love — consider it a lip balm, an under-eye treatment, and even a dry spot corrector.
2. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara has secured its spot as a TikTok beauty trend thanks to the way it dramatically lengthens lashes. Bamboo extract and fibers provide awesome volume with just one swipe.
3. Sweet Chef Beet + Retinol Nightly Firming Mask contains a powerful combination of skin-improving ingredients like the antioxidant beet root extract, soothing hemp seed oil, moisturizing squalane, and retinol. Sensitive skin reviewers who usually have issues with retinol products love this for making skin feel soft and rejuvenated while still remaining gentle.
4. Carol's Daughter Goddess Strength Scalp Oil and Hair Oil Deep Treatment contains nourishing ingredients like black seed and castor that envelops the hair with enough moisture to both protect it against damage, and even bring overly processed hair back to life.

7. PYT Beauty The Upcycle Eyeshadow Palette not only has 12 gorgeous, highly pigmented shades that are blendable and easy to wear, but it's also made sustainably and recyclable, too.

8. Naturium Niacinamide Serum 12% Plus Zinc 2% has become *that* product for many reviewers who report dramatic results like minimized pores, improved texture, and less breakouts. The serum contains niacinamide, which works to improve a variety of skin concerns without causing irritation.
9. Olive & June Nail Polish offers an array of long-lasting, vibrant, pigmented shades that go on smooth without streaks. They're also made with a seven-free formula (which means they are free of seven harsh chemicals such as formaldehyde, DBP, and toluene, among others). You'll want to collect them all, as one reviewer noted.
10. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original Acne Patches are an easy and effective product for pimples as you just stick that sucker on and forget about it while it does its thing. Plus, it's discreet and will help prevent the urge to pick (which can cause scarring!).
11. TRESemmé Thermal Creations Keratin Smooth Leave-In Heat Protectant Spray should become your first step before heat styling (a lot of people forgot about using a protectant when using hot tools or blow-drying their hair!) This one contains both keratin and marula oil, so it not only protects against damage, but also nourishes strands, smooths frizz, and makes it shiny.
12. Kiss Glue Liner False Eyelash Glue & Eyeliner makes putting on false lashes easier than ever because it's both a liner *and* a lash glue in one product. You just apply it like you would a regular cat eye, apply the lashes, and that's it.
13. NYX Professional Makeup Lift N Snatch! Brow Tint Pen helps thin brows look fuller thanks to the pen's micro-brush tip. It lets you easily create hairs with just a few strokes, is resistant against smudging, and lasts a whopping16 hours! Reviewers have compared it to high-end brands like Anastasia Beverly Hills.
14. Brite No Yellow Hair Mask gets rid of brassy tones in a jiffy. Reviewers also love it for making hair feel soft and look shiny, plus for being gentle enough for those with sensitive scalps.
15. Eos Flavor Lab Lip Balm Sticks in Watermelon Frose and Lychee Martini are the perfect summertime lip balm flavors. Not only do they keep your lips moisturized with a formula that contains sustainably sourced shea butter, but, as you can guess, they taste and smell delicious! Reviewers also love that these come in a traditional tube.
16. CND VINYLUX Weekly Nail Polish Top Coat has become the ultimate product for many Target reviewers, as they report long-lasting results and no chipping even when used with lower quality polish. If you're all about the at-home mani, give this a whirl.
17. Dashing Diva Gloss Ultra Shine Gel Palette in Blue Vixon are a gorgeous set of nail strips that last a long time when applied correctly. Even reviewers who aren't at-home mani pros swear these strips hold up!
18. Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Max Night Moisturizer goes deep underneath the skin's surface with its powerful complex of retinol, niacinamide, and peptides to hydrate skin while also tackling fine lines, dark spots, and uneven texture.
19. Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Cream is the ultimate skin savior no matter what the season. It has botanical extracts made from organic chamomile, calendula, and wild pansy plus nourishing sunflower and sweet almond oils to help hydrate the driest complexions.
20. L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Lip Stain proves that you really don't have to spend a lot of money to get a luxury-looking lip. It's richly pigmented and lasts all day, but still feels lightweight... so if you're looking for a holy grail lipstick, this might be it.
21. Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Roller picks up excess oil better than pricey oil-blotting facial sheets because it uses volcanic stone instead of paper. It's not only less wasteful, but also comes in the form of a much cooler tool that you can take with you anywhere.
22. Rhyme & Reason Nourish & Gloss Conditioner delivers moisture and shine to dull hair but uses 100% recycled materials and 96% naturally derived ingredients, making it a much better choice than some of the fancier haircare brands out there.
23. Honest Beauty Extreme Length 2-in-1 Mascara and Lash Primer has won multiple awards for its ability to lift and lengthen the eyelashes with clean ingredients at an accessible price point, giving more expensive faves a run for their money.
24. Amie Clear & Calm Cleansing Wipes are a gift for those of us who loved the convenience of facial wipes, but hated the ecological imprint they caused. These eco-friendly wipes are biodegrade for 15 days, and are gentle enough for sensitive skin.
25. Garnier Skinactive Micellar Cleansing Water All-in-One Makeup Remover & Cleanser is an award-winning product for a reason — it gets all your makeup off when you're too lazy to wash it! (Though, you should probably double-cleanse.) It's the perfect dupe for more expensive and costs about half the price. Can't go wrong with that.
26. Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Detangler has earned praise from fans for being a multi-purpose product and a necessity for curly-haired peeps. It can be used as both a leave-in and a normal rinse-out conditioner, and easily untangles knots and smoothes frizz without weighing curls down.
27. Versed Day Maker Microcrystal Exfoliator uses microcrystalline (a plant-based, biodegradable alternative to harmful microbeads) to gently exfoliate. Some reviewers praise it as a maskne treatment while others say it's a fantastic drugstore dupe for other super expensive treatments. Either way, we're sold.
28. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Deep Pore Cleansing Facial Treatment is an old-school product that has been called an acne holy grail due to its ability to deeply cleanse clogged pores and fight breakouts. All you have to do is mix the bentonite clay powder with apple cider vinegar and you have the ultimate pimple potion.
29. Covergirl truBLEND Base Business Face Primer preps the skin for makeup to last all day by smoothing out texture without feeling heavy. It also comes in a variety of options depending on your concerns, from reducing redness to minimizing pores.
30. Bliss Bright Idea Vitamin C + Tri-Peptide Collagen Protecting & Brightening Serum is a must-have if your complexion is looking dull and you're looking for an affordable treatment. The presence of licorice root adds an extra boost of brightening, kicking acne scars and dark spots to the curb.
31. Milani Make It Last Prime + Correct + Set Makeup Setting Spray helps your makeup last up to 16 hours, in case you have a long day of wearing foundation ahead of you. It's been compared to more expensive setting sprays but miraculously costs less than $10.
