1. A lightweight snail essence (no snails are harmed in the making of this product, promise) that'll deliver seriously good hydration, and can help brighten your skin and reduce/prevent acne.
Promising review: "This product is really, really good. I lucked out on discovering this after trying a few others. This product is richer, thicker, and I actually see results quicker. The reasonable price will keep the customer lines long. Very, very happy customer." —Cindy
Get it from Amazon for $16.90.
2. A mascara to give you lashes so dramatic, no one will believe you when you tell them you bought it for less than $5 on Amazon. No need to spend hours wrestling with falsies to get the long lashes of your dreams. Reviewers also rave that this lasts all day. Thank goodness! You have better things to do than reapply throughout the day.
3. Teeth-whitening pens for brightening up those pearly whites with a quick swipe. No yucky gel, bright lights, or dentist trips required!
Promising review: "I was skeptical because I’ve tried lots of other whitening products that did not work (Crest Whitestrips and other whitening sticks). But I was amazed that this one actually works! In just a few days I’m already seeing results! Just make sure to follow the instructions — brush and floss beforehand, use a tissue to dry your teeth off, keep smiling for 30 seconds after applied to all teeth and voila!" —Samantha Till
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.95.
4. A callus-removing gel that'll give you the baby soft feet you not only want, but truly deserve.
5. A moisturizing hair treatment to leave your locks looking shiny and silky. Salon-level hair all day, every day, BB.
Promising review: "It definitely does what it claims to do. There are absolutely no tangles whatsoever after brushing this through your hair. The results are instantaneous. I’m actually very impressed. I’ve introduced it to my daughters as well and they called to tell me how well it did for my tender-headed granddaughters. Also love that there’s no scent to this one. 10 out of 10!" —Neichka
Get it from Amazon for $8.74.
6. A curl spray leave-in conditioner both kiddos and adults will like! Simply spray it on damp or dry hair and bask in the glory of soft, bouncy, defined curls.

Promising review: "This is the first product I've found that actually does the trick for my 11-year-old daughter who couldn't care less about styling her curly hair. She only has to use this one product to get results. I love it and so does she!" —HopeFaithLove
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
7. A hyaluronic acid serum to help boost moisture — apply this prior to using your favorite moisturizer and enjoy smoother skin.
8. A color-correcting treatment that MUST be made with fairy dust because it starts out green and somehow ends up blending into your face seamlessly to bring some balance to redness.
I actually own this and LOVE IT! It works so ridiculously well and subtly helps to bring down redness on my face, which in turn, makes makeup application super seamless.
Promising review: "Come for the color correction, stay for the result. This is pure magic! I have used it for less than a week and I already see a huge improvement in my skin. It is pistachio green in the jar, but blends in perfectly to skin. I use one spoonful of the spoon provided to cover my whole face. It hides some redness, so it can be used alone or as a primer. The tiger grass really does help to heal the skin. My blemishes are almost gone and my pores appear smaller. I plan to use it every day." —Jessgs
Get it from Sephora for $54 (also available in a mini size for $21).
9. Or a calming cream also made with the soothing ingredient centella asiatica to help calm skin from conditions like rosacea, post-shave irritation, and even sunburns, as well as hydrate.
10. A Color Wow moisture-repelling spray that's all about keeping frizz at bay. Sorry, humidity, you lose this round!
Promising review: "I usually don’t write reviews, but this product is amazing. I washed my hair, spray as instructions said, and I saw the results right away — shiny and super smooth. It’s a must have!" —Gabriela Pires
Get it from Amazon for $28.
11. An eye primer because you didn't spend time perfecting your smoky shadow look just for it to *poof* disappear come lunch time.
Promising review: "I rarely write reviews but just had to on this one. I really didn't expect it to work. IT DOES. I even put Clinique All About Eyes Moisturizer under it and my eye makeup did not budge. I have been using Laura Mercier for years, which is considerably more expensive. This actually brightens my eyes, intensifies the eye shadow color, and I can use less eye shadow and get better results. This will be my go to from now on." —Kim Ward
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
12. An amazing after sun soothing lotion that'll be a lifesaver when it comes to handling painful sunburns. Its gentle formula and moisturizing ingredients might just have you clicking that Subscribe & Save button after the first use.
Promising review: "Very good product! I was using a different product before and my skin always ended up feeling a bit dry and I started to peel a little. So I used this for the first time today and my skin feels great. My tan doesn’t peel anymore and I ended up with great results. I would say I’d definitely use this during the winter when my skin feels dry after showering." —Alice
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
13. A water-based acne gel to not only help clear up breakouts, but also assist in preventing new ones from popping up.
Promising reviews: "This has literally changed my skin for the better! I’ve tried so many different treatments like this one, but none have had these results. I could not recommend it more!" —Lorimorrow
Get it from Amazon for $14.97.
14. And Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch acne patches — simply put one of these little hydrocolloid stickers over a zit, let it sit for a few hours (or overnight!), and then bask in the amazement of the pore-clogging gunk it absorbed when you take it off.
Read our Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch review!
Promising review: "These are fantastic. It is so satisfying to see the gunk that is pulled. There is a huge difference in the size of your pimple after using a patch for the recommended time. I have had a few pimples where I had to immediately follow up with another patch. These are so effortless to use and give visible results in a few short hours. Get these!!" —Allison W.
Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $11.97.
15. A foot peel mask to exfoliate your feetsies, which are sometimes prone to cracking and peeling. If you don't already have a foot fetish, you might have one after using this stuff...KIDDING, maybe.
Promising review: "I usually don't leave a written review but felt compelled to write this one as this product really works. I followed the directions and saw results instantly. My old skin peeled off within 1–2 days and the new skin was just soft. Dry skin, cracks, and small calluses were also gone! I am very satisfied with this product." —Zheng Huiqin
Get two pairs from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three scents).
16. A heatless curling rod so you can achieve easy, breezy curls all without having to turn on hot styling tools.
This set comes with a curling rod, a claw hair clip, two duckbill hair clips, and two hair scrunchies. It works best when rolled with damp hair and is compatible with all hair types.
Promising review: "Where has this thing been all my life? My hair never really held a curl, but this lasts all day. I add a little mouse before, and then light hairspray in the morning. It looks ridiculous on, but the results are so worth it! I’ve gotten so many compliments. The best thing is, you can do your hair in less than 10 minutes!" —Marge B
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors).
17. A body scrub for buffing away red bumps. Use it one to two times a week for smoother skin. It's like a microdermabrasion treatment at a fraction of the cost and without having to leave the house.
Promising review: "This exfoliates the bumps right away. First Aid Beauty has a lot of great products and this one did not disappoint! I use it primarily on the back of my thighs and butt. Even after one use, there were results! Another plus is a little goes a long way! Get it!!! Try it!!! It works!!!" —Raquell Parks
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes).
18. An ultra-hydrating lip balm rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and green tea that your still-dry-as-heck-from-summer-heat lips are gonna be so very thankful for. Not to mention, will be great to have on hand as fall and winter bring about even MORE dry weather.
Promising review: "My lips have been chapped in the corners of my mouth for weeks now and this lip balm is the only thing that's helped! I've been putting it on multiple times a day, and slowly but surely, the corners of my mouth are no longer red. My tube is running low, so I came back to repurchase! A little pricey, but so worth it for the results!" —Alexis
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors).
19. A collagen hair protein treatment to help repair damage from things like heat, sun, and dye, just to name a few, because we want you to be able to do all the cool, experimental things with your hair.

Promising review: "One use and my dry hair feels amazing! I only kept this on for five minutes and got amazing results!! Just buy it! You won’t regret it!!!" —Heather
Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.12.
20. And on the topic of giving damaged hair a little replenishment, a wonderful hair serum you can use daily on both straight and curly hair to reduce frizz, tangles, and split ends, all while delivering some lovely shine.
Promising review: "I was really worried purchasing because of all the panic over the scent. It’s not even bad! It does have a floral scent. But it’s not one that overpowers your hair and lasts all day. The texture, consistency, and results are awesome. It makes my hair feel so good. Really happy with the purchase. And the bottle is soooo luxe feeling. Totally worth it." —Laura
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a pack of two or four).
21. Schick Silk touch-up tools perfect for painless, precise eyebrow shaping, cleaning up peach fuzz hairs on your face, and even clearing away dead skin. These little guys go a long way.
Promising review: "I LOVE these! I have the most sensitive skin and this didn’t create any redness or irritate my face at all. I used this product and then put on my moisturizer and I was all set, it was so quick and easy. And I love the results. Highly recommend, especially for those with sensitive skin like me." —Search
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94.
22. A Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant designed to help loosen dead skin cells, smooth and brighten your skin, and even help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
Promising review: "I don't have great skin but I've never really had the energy to have any sort of skincare routine nor wear makeup. I decided to put in some effort and give this a try, LOL. I wash my face, rub this in, and then use a moisturizer, and I started seeing significant results in a month. My skin is a lot more even in tone, brighter, and clearer. I couldn't believe it." —Imani Aird
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).
23. A brow glue soooo good, we should probably warn you one of the side effects will be bringing back the phrase "eyebrows on fleek" unapologetically. And you know what? We support it.
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve tried multiple products for my eyebrows to stay in place. But within a few minutes, my eyebrows would not hold. However, with this product, I had the best results. My eyebrows held in place all night. Definitely recommend this product for thicker eyebrows that need a stronger hold!" —Ashna Prakash
Get it from Amazon for $8.57+ (available in five shades, including clear).
24. Radha rosehip oil for quenching dry skin with the hydration it craves. Plus, some reviewers mentioned this helped reduce the appearance of wrinkles!
Promising review: "I use this oil as a super-charging 'add in' to my regular moisturizer...just a few drops mixed in with my cream and the results have been *amazing.* I have a few autoimmune conditions which, among other things, render my skin unusually dry and very hard to keep hydrated; however, since adding this things have improved substantially. I don't have to moisturize as often, my skin seems to be 'holding' moisture better, there is a visible improvement in texture, and I've already received a few comments on how good my skin looks. The oil itself is of a very high quality, absorbs almost instantly, and has no offputting odor. I also appreciate how simply natural it is. I would recommend this product to others without hesitation." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
25. A 10-ingredient cleansing balm whose buttery and silky texture will practically melt your makeup away minus the greasy/stripped feeling other makeup removers tend to leave behind. Reviewers also love this stuff for sunscreen removal! Basically, you're gonna wonder how you ever made it this far taking off your makeup at the end of a night without this amazing stuff.
Juno & Co. is a small biz that sells personal care and skincare products!
Promising review: "This is the best stuff ever!!! I don’t wear makeup as often as I used to so one jar lasted me about five months. (I wear makeup at least once or twice a week) but it works like magic to remove primer, foundation, concealer, powder, blush and contour, lipstick, and waterproof mascara all sealed in with Urban Decay setting spray. I have very oily, very bad acne-prone skin, as well as being allergic to a lot of skin creams and things, and I had nothing but great results. I use this, then wipe it off with a wet washcloth, then follow up with my face soap and water to break down the oil. And voila!" —Gabby
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
26. A conditioning detangling spray people of all ages can use, because nothing ruins the vibes after a shower or bath like working a brush through stubborn, knotted strands.
Promising review: "Great value! Was really surprised at the results for the price! Great results! I thought that the watery consistency would make it less effective, but I stand corrected!" —Kerry Reed
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three scents).
27. A reusable oil-absorbing face roller that'll be a lifesaver for anyone who tends to get extra oily when it's super duper hot outside (or even like, just a little warm). Just glide it over your face, it's THAT easy.
Promising review: "This roller is amazing! It’s like magic. I have an oily T-zone regardless of the makeup and powder I use. Instead of blotting papers, I now use this and it is so much better! Just roll it over the oily spot and see instant results. Easy to take with me because it is roughly the same size as a lipstick. Easy to clean the roller ball, air dry it, and it’s back to working great again. I would gift this to anyone with an oily complexion." —Wanda
Get it from Amazon for $11.12.
28. A TikTok-loved lotion made with guarana and cupuacu butter to bring smoothness and hydration to your skin. Best of all, it has a delish pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla scent and is gonna have everyone you talk to commenting on how darn good you smell.
Promising review: "Amazing!! Went with the reviews and they were right! Left my skin feeling soft and tightened. I love!!! The scent!! Instant results! Highly recommend!" —Lindsay McIntire
Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes).
29. A Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer for achieving the "no-makeup makeup" look of your dreams. Adios acne-causing foundation and hola skincare product providing a nice blurred matte finish. Oh, and btw, this contains SPF 20! 😎
And while SPF 20 is a great addition to a cosmetic product, it's important to note the American Academy of Dermatology recommends wearing SPF 30 and higher, so you'll still want to apply sunscreen while wearing this!
Promising review: "I have used this tinted moisturizer for years and it still provides unfailing results. This product gives me just the right amount of coverage, while giving me an even skin tone. The moisturizer looks completely natural and feels like you're wearing nothing at all." —MCWiedeman
Get it from Sephora for $53 (available in 20 shades and also in a mini size for $29).
30. An argan oil hair mask you can use about once a week to help prevent things like heat from styling tools and coloring from making your hair look damaged or dry.
Just a head's up that this does have silicone in it, in case that's an ingredient you try to avoid. Check out our Arvazallia Hydrating Argan Oil Hair Mask write-up!
Promising review: "After bleaching my hair, my hair got very dry and it didn’t feel healthy anymore. So I found this product here and gave it a shot. I’m amazed by the results, I do it twice a week and now my hair feels softer and more manageable. I really love it!!!!" —Alexandra Cartagena
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
31. Bio-Oil, a skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne, pregnancy, injuries, or surgeries thanks to a powerful (but gentle) combo of vitamin A oil, vitamin E oil, sunflower oil, lavender oil, and chamomile oil.
Promising review: "I have bad acne scars but really sensitive combination skin. Usually oils don’t work and leave my skin feeling over-dry or oily. This oil is the first thing I have found that ACTUALLY WORKS to get rid of acne scars. It doesn’t have a strong smell. It goes on oily but absorbs and leaves my skin hydrated and soft without feeling slimy or looking greasy. I’ve only used it for about a month, but after seeing results so quickly, I am sold!" —lk
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
