1. A Wet n Wild angled liner brush so your makeup can look as ~on fleek~ as possible. It has an ergonomic handle so you'll be able to hold it easily and be super duper precise!
Promising review: "These brushes work great. Bristles are not overly stiff, but hold well enough for applying color or even blending in smaller places. The price is awesome, so no need to overly worry about stains or loss. These are usually the less expensive brushes I carry in my cosmetic bag for on-the-go touch-ups. For the price however, they pack a powerful punch in being precise and easily washable. Love the pinkish/white hue to each brush too. Gives them a soft and romantic look while sitting on my vanity. Would definitely recommend these brushes." —TB
Price: $1.70 (available in 15 other styles)
2. A jar of Hard As Hoof nail-strengthening cream to renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, this calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong.
Promising review: "This is amazing! I went from super brittle nails that I could never grow out. I had acrylic nails for two years and I wanted a break; they were so thin and damaged from the acrylics. Now only after a few weeks my nails are completely healed and grown and will not break! I wish I found this sooner, I wouldn’t have wasted my time and money on nail maintenance! Try it!" —Chelsea Lauren Hill
Price: $7.94
3. A toner formulated with milk vetch root extract that can help improve your skin's elasticity and leaving you ~glowing~. It'll quickly absorb into your skin without the stickiness OR irritation!
Promising review: "been using this for a few months along with my Cosrx snail mucin serum as moisturizers and toners and I genuinely have been so happy with my skin. It doesn’t leave a thick feeling on your face but it does moisturize pretty well. I have sensitive dry skin and a lot of products have made me break out even more, but truly since I simplified my routine and stuck with these products my skin has been consistently clear, even on my period. doesn’t smell like anything and a little product goes a long way. 10/10 glad i ordered this :)" —rae

4. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen to help remove years of staining and that only takes 30 seconds to apply! Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers.
Promising review: "I have bought so many products to whiten my teeth and none of them worked as well nor were as reasonably priced as this pen. Two days into using this pen twice a day I could see a significant difference. This took out stains from coffee, tea, wine, and even removed the discoloration from previously smoking. I wish I found this product sooner! One thing I noticed was that this doesn’t cause any teeth sensitivity. I am super impressed and will continue to use this for years to come." —Alicia
Price: $18.95 for a two-pack

Attractive little case, the brushes are pretty, super soft and do not irritate my skin. Nor have I had the brush hairs keep falling out like some cheaper brands. Overall I'd say I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend them. :)" —MzVelvet

6. A bottle of Cosrx snail mucin essence to soothe dehydrated skin and reduce dullness. It's a cult-favorite for a reason — It's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin!
Promising review: "I use this stuff twice a day and I swear my skin has never been so soft and clear. I put it on my face damp, pat it into my skin and let it dry for like 20 seconds. It’s a slimy texture at first but doesn’t dry sticky. I’ve had it since July and have barely used half the bottle. I wish I knew about this sooner! Definitely a trend that’s actually worth the hype. 😍" —Marissa Paige
Price: $16
7. A lengthening mascara that'll enhance your beautiful lashes thanks to its brush that'll coat every. single. hair. The best part: The formula is clump-free and smudge-proof!
Promising review: "This is the best mascara I have ever tried. It doesn’t clump up and it makes your lashes pop without making you look like you have fake ones on. And it is buildable. It washes off pretty well with water, and doesn’t irritate eyes. Came fresh and well packaged. Definitely recommend it!" —Maria

8. A scalp massager to exfoliate and massage your scalp in the shower for a DIY spa experience. Reviewers mention that it has helped them with psoriasis, dandruff, and scalp tenderness!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I recently started using one of these and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it's a struggle to feel like I've soaped up my whole scalp thoroughly, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it a few weeks ago. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice."
Promising review: "I’ve suffered from dry skin and a dry scalp ever since I turned 30. The only thing that helps me is exfoliating. I was initially concerned that the product would be too rough and damage my sensitive scalp or too soft and ineffective. However, this brush is perfect for me. It does not tangle my long hair, it is easy to use and just firm enough to get the job done. My scalp no longer itches and the icky buildup is gone. I can’t believe something so affordable has made such a difference in the health of my scalp. I’ve used expensive shampoos and conditioners to no end with barely a difference. I wish I discovered this product much sooner!" —AH
Price: $6.98+ (available in three colors)
9. A Coco & Eve tanner and mitt set so even in the middle of summer, you'll have that sun kissed look as if you just came back from Cabo. Its coconut, botanicals, and amino acids formula will not only help hydrate your skin but also blur blemishes. And as an added bonus, it smells ~superb~.
Just rub in on your skin in circular motions and let it sit for two hours. After, take a warm shower, pat yourself dry, and you're good to go!
Promising review: "This is the absolute best self tanner I have ever used, and that is just about all of them. I got medium. The pigment is dark brown with a green tint when applied and it develops into a beautiful warm, natural-looking tan. It lasts over an entire week on me with very little fading and no streaking. I’m mean clearly it works as you see in the picture. The scent is a wonderful beachy scent and never has that smell of a typical self tanner that is such a dead giveaway." —Eva
Price: $39 (available in three shades)
10. A tube of Nyx Butter Gloss that comes in so many gorgeous colors, you'll def find the right one for you. It'll give you that glossy, tinted look that you so desire.
Promising review: "This is the best lip gloss that I have tried in a long time. I ordered it in two different shades and I just love it. I will definitely be ordering it again!!! I Highly recommend it. It’s not too sticky and it stays on well. Great colors also." —Cynthia D Rozell

Promising review: "I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" —Amazon Customer
Price: $8.99 (also available as a pair)

It has a really good coconut scent that kind of reminds me of being on a beach. I definitely recommend giving it a try, especially if you’re in need of some hydration and damage control for your hair!" —Randy and Melissa Wilkerson

It's designed to work on all hair types, and reviewers with 2a–4c curls love it!
Promising reviews: "I absolutely LOVE this product. My daughter has extremely curly hair and was always a nightmare trying to wash and brush/ comb her hair. I bought this product along with 10 other products and this stuff is honestly the best stuff I have found. Spray it on, let it sit in for a couple of minutes, comb/brush and you have NO more tangles. I wish I found this stuff so much sooner. When I don't put her hair up in a point tail or braids, it definitely defies her curls and leaves her hair super soft and not frizzy." —Marilyn

Promising review: "This was light and natural, which I prefer. I'm over 40 and non-cakey makeup is my best friend. Despite being so light, it stayed all day, making it look like a natural flush. I was prepared to reapply several times like I have to with other more expensive name brands, but nope!" —jessica bessent

I've seen other reviewers say they keep it in the fridge and while I don't find that necessary I may have to try because it sounds very refreshing!" —Cat SV

23. A bottle of Ouai leave-in conditioner mist to nourish your mane with its amino acid blend, tamarind seed extract, and vitamin E formula and tame frizzy, dry hair. Just spritz it into your hair while it's damp and you're good to go.
It also helps protect your hair from heat and UV damage!
Promising review: "I have waist-length, thick hair that tangles up just from walking around. I also live in a very cold and dry climate. I've tried a lot of products and this one actually seems to help! I spray it on my damp hair before blow drying and it stays pretty much static free and a lot less tangly! It has a light, clean scent (not overly perfume-y). Like I said, I've tried A LOT of highly rated hair products, but this is the only one that seems to deliver. Definitely worth the price, definitely will buy again." —Alice

Promising review: "I had never heard of these and LUCKILY I found them while browsing same day shipping items and decided to give them a try. I started dermaplaning recently and I get a pimple almost every time I do. These little patches actually work, they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I wish I'd known about them sooner!!!" —MV
Price: $10.77
25. A pack of animal sheet masks that'll make spa day even more fun. Each mask has its own benefits (such as soothing, restoring, or moisturizing). Not only will your skin feel rejuvenated, you'll also look cute and maybe a lil' scary.
26. An Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to keep your makeup in place for up to 16 hours! So even if you find yourself sobbing after a Titatic watch party, you makeup isn't going anywhere boo!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking several trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.)
Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that time span: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, a number of meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying a few times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non-waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray."
Price: $17+ (available in three sizes)
