2. A hydrating eye stick because it may help reduce dark circles and puffiness — but let's be real, you're mainly gonna want to buy this for the satisfying cooling sensation it'll give your skin and the v cute polar bear.
Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben

Promising review: "I have tried everything on the market to fix my damaged, bleached hair that keeps breaking off. I stumbled across this hair treatment on TikTok. I had never heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I used it for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe how amazing it made my hair feel and look. It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy and nourished. My bleached rat's nest now looks and feels like hair again. Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair. I’m going to buy a lot more of this product. I’ve been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage. Now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair." —Eline

4. An exfoliating glove that'll help slough away dead skin so easily, you'll be confused as to how you made it this long without owning this genius product.
Promising review: "Right out of the box I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I’ve tried them twice already and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I’ll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
5. Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite 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, vitamin E, sunflower, lavender, and chamomile oils.
Promising review: "After just about three weeks of use I’ve seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion." —L T C
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
6. A moisturizing hair treatment with a cult following that'll leave your locks looking shiny and silky in just eight seconds.
It's recommended to use this 2–3 times a week on wet hair after you use shampoo — you can use one dose on fine/medium-textured hair and two to three doses on thick/curly textured hair, plus another dose on long hair. You can also use conditioner after if you'd like. Avoid applying to the scalp, and only apply to lengths!
Promising review: "I don’t put a lot of effort into my hair besides regular trims. However, I really like this! My hair (shoulder length, fine, wavy hair) dries really soft, and I can just brush it after air drying. Definitely recommend this product for lazy girls like me!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
7. A mascara for 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 re-apply throughout the day.
Promising review: "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5, you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." —Kd
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
8. 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: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
9. A dry shampoo powder that's so easy to use: Simply tap onto your roots, shake the excess powder out with your fingertips, style, and be on your merry way. Not to mention, thanks to the fact that it's small and a powder (vs. an aerosol), it's easy to pack on trips and bring through TSA or toss in your bag to keep on hand for daytime excursions.
Promising review: "I’ve tried a few dry shampoos, from the spray in a bottle to powder. And I’d have to say this one has been my favorite. My very first time using it, I didn’t know how much to put and ended up coating my hair by A LOT. It left my hair feeling very dry and straw-like. I almost returned and got a refund but decided to give it another chance. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Trust me. You only need a few dabs on your head and that’s it. You can see the extra volume almost instantly. This stuff works sooo well that I wake up on my third unwashed hair day and it looks better than the second day when I used the dry shampoo. And let’s not forget to mention how convenient and compact the whole thing is. It’s so nice to just pat it on your head with no mess." —Thuy
Get it from Amazon for $18.
10. 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 have very oily skin and extremely oily eyelids. I'm not a big makeup person (oily skin, yo), but I picked up some pretty Urban Decay palettes on sale and wanted to give them a fighting chance. I came across this product, and with all the positive reviews, decided to give it a try. Where has this been all my life? It's lightweight, evens out the skin tone on my lids, and keeps my eye makeup looking great all day. Now I even wear the primer by itself with no makeup, because of the oil control. I'll be buying this stuff forever." —amarch99
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
11. A natural lip plumper made with vitamin E and collagen to help give your kisser a fuller look, not to mention an added boost of hydration.
You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips.
Promising review: "I discovered this product from TikTok and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!! —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
12. A set of matte liquid lipsticks boasting some seriously impressive pigmentation and even more impressive wear. This stuff will last all day without fading. Oh yeah, and the whole set costs less than $10. You can thank me later.
Promising review: "What can I say? I saw a TikTok about this lipstick, and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right: For some reason, this lipstick is better than even $20 name-brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but it dries in under a minute. It survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out with no smudging, and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $8.49 (available in three color combinations).
13. A Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant designed to help loosen dead skin cells, smooth and brighten up your skin, and even help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
Promising review: "I have every skin issue you can think of. Rosacea, acne (hormonal, cystic, whiteheads, blackheads), dehydration, excessive oiliness, redness, all of it. I’ve spent probably thousands on a multitude of different products, trying to find one that would at least make a dent. I’ve had many procedures, many trips to the dermatologist. Nothing I’ve ever used, nothing I’ve ever done, has made such a profound difference in the appearance of my skin. Having rosacea, my face often felt hot, bumpy, and burned. While my complexion is naturally fair and pink, this has seriously covered all my bases in a gentle and effective way. I’ve been trying to turn my skin around for YEARS! This was the product that did it. If I could give it 100 stars, I would. It has seriously changed my life!" —hc
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).
14. An argan oil hair mask that'll 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: "I have natural 4C hair and this product was amazing. I did not think it would be because of the texture, but once it was saturated in my hair, my hair felt more healthy. I had less breakage and my hair seemed to stay moisturized throughout the week. I use this mask once a week." —adrain tucker
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
15. A Supergoop sunscreen and primer with a cult-following and for GOOD REASON! This SPF 40 formula contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin B5 to nourish and hydrate skin, protect it from the sun, and give you some gorgie glowy/dewy shine!
Promising review: "I’ve tried a lot of sunscreen and primers over the last year. I mean A LOT. My skin is super sensitive, acne-prone, and prone to dryness and redness. (Complicated, I know.) This stuff doesn’t feel heavy and moisturizes really well while not feeling like I’ll break out later. It protected my skin from sunburn during six hours at Six Flags. I don’t wear a ton of makeup, but the foundation and bronzer I wore didn’t budge or crease. It makes your skin glow a lot, which alone is a bit much for me, but under some foundation, it looks amazing! Def worth the buy and will buy again." —H. E. Adams
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes).
16. An exfoliating lip brush your dry lips will be oh so thankful you purchased. Using this before applying your favorite lip balm and you may just notice it absorbs faster (and works better).
Promising review: "Game changer. Way better than my previous method of fingers then a washcloth. This scrubs away all the dry lippy skin, especially in the winter months, so that your balm can really penetrate and make your lips super moisturized and soft." —Travis Reese
Get it from Amazon for $7.99. And you might want to consider pairing it with this effective little lip scrub, if you're in the market.
17. And now that your lips are flake-free, an ultra-hydrating lip balm rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and green tea that your dry-as-heck lips are gonna be sure to savor.
Promising review: "I'm going to get straight to it. I have NEVER had a lip balm that does what this tube of magic does. I have had chapped lips for years, no matter the season, and no other lip balm works like this one. It goes on smooth, not greasy, and absorbs SO WELL. After just three days of use my lips are soft and smooth. No peeling or flaking, and I...AM...IMPRESSED! I'm literally conceited now, LOL. I've taken 93 selfies with the infamous duck lips pose, AND my hubby even noticed during our last smooch sesh that something changed, LOL....TMI? Maybe. But y'all need to know how friggin' awesome this product is. I'm stocking up ASAP!!" —iamzenobiamarie
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors).
18. Or a lip sleeping mask trio designed to help hydrate and nourish your kisser overnight so it feels nice and soft when you wake up. Reviewers love that these are similar to the Laneige sleeping mask and come with THREE masks for a fraction of the cost of one mask.
Promising review: "Just like the Laneige lip mask. This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I considered buying the Laneige lip mask, but it was soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya
Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six combos).
19. A Maybelline concealer reviewers love for its excellent price point, smooth sponge applicator, and the fact that it provides great under-eye coverage on those mornings when you wake after broken sleep. It helps brighten up the area and brings a lovely glow to your gorg eyes. ✨
Promising review: "Throughout high school, I never knew how to do makeup. But then I heard this product was the absolute best on TikTok. And trust me, they were not lying. It has really good coverage and hides my 'raccoon eyes.' And the best part is that a little bit goes a long way. So if you’re starting out or want to try something new, I definitely recommend you try this out." —Liela Lee

20. A scalp shampoo brush to not only aid in giving you a deeper clean when shampooing your hair, but to help relax your scalp too!
Promising review: "I saw this little thing all over TikTok and everyone swore by it. To be honest, they’re right and I now swear by it. It’s perfectly soft and sturdy to massage the scalp. Works shampoo into roots, helps with dry skin and such. I absolutely love it and I use it every time I wash my hair. I most definitely would recommend to anyone. Don’t hesitate." —Z
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).
21. 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: "Boy Brow from Glossier was my ride-or-die eyebrow product for years, but the tubes are so small and they raised the price so I could no longer justify it. This brow glue is the closest thing I’ve found to it and it’s half the price! Will definitely repurchase." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in five shades, including clear).
22. An exfoliating toner made with cactus water and hyaluronic acid for a delicious dose of hydration. It also contains willow bark, which can help minimize the appearance of pores. It'll have you singing: "Watermelon Glow, high." 🍉🎵
23. 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 boasts being compatible with all hair types.
Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors).
24. A gel-based primer designed to "grip" your makeup so it actually stays put all day. Plus, it contains hyaluronic acid to help moisturize your skin in the process. Basically, this is just the product your cosmetic bag has been missing and is practically begging you to purchase already!!!
Promising reviews: "I [fell in love with a] sample of the Milk Hydro Grip primer, but when I went to buy it...$36 for a relatively small bottle! I wanted to find a good alternative, so I bought this. It is PERFECT! Nearly identical formula. I have sensitive skin and this did not break me out. It really does help keep makeup on all day and makes your skin look smooth. I highly recommend this." —Allison
Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in two versions).
25. 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: "This is LIFE-CHANGING! I'm 33 and have had dry skin my entire life. I decided to try this because the price was reasonable and the reviews were great. I was NOT disappointed. I cleaned my face the first night, applied a thick layer of rosehip oil, and went to bed. Eight hours later, I woke up to a new face. I have used this oil every night for about five weeks and it has completely changed my skin. My mom saw me one morning and remarked that my skin looked like it did when I was eight! I also love that you get a large quantity of oil for a super affordable price, and a little bit goes a long way. For the amount you get, it's SUCH a bargain." —TuffLuckCowgirl
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
26. An easy root touch-up kit to make maintaining your gorg hair color a breeze. This is great if your color is starting to fade a bit or a few gray hairs are peeking their way through and you'd like to cover them up a bit.
Promising review: "This is my go-to product to save me money so I don't have to go to the salon every month. Buys me a couple of months in between professional coloring. This is really easy to apply and I never have a problem matching whatever shade the salon uses on my hair." —Amanda Scott
Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (available in nine colors).
27. An adorably-packaged serum (hello, look at the little piggy!!!) that'll help give your pores HELL! No really, it's called Hell Pore Control Serum. This hyaluronic acid serum is meant to help tighten pores, restore moisture to your skin, and leave it feeling soft in the process.
Promising review: "If I could give this 10 stars I would! I ran out of The Ordinary hyaluronic acid I’ve been using for a year, and no stores close sold it, so I gave this a try. So glad I did because it’s a thousand times better!! I put it on first, then moisturizer after I put on my primer and makeup, and it looks the best it’s ever looked. My pores were smaller in just three days, and my skin was so hydrated. I have combo skin so my T-zone gets awfully oily. The fix is to make sure your skin is hydrated. Also the bottle is twice the size of The Ordinary! This does it all!!! So very impressed." —smnthfinch
Get it from Amazon for $8.16.
28. A flat foundation brush here to put any other foundation brush on the market to shame. This thing does a stellar job at blending liquid, cream, and powder cosmetics. Plus, it comes with a carrying case for easy touch-ups on the go or for convenient travel packing.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok. I’m a middle-aged woman. I. LOVE. IT! It gives a flawless finish with little product. I have a compact foundation that comes with its own applicator sponge. I almost threw it out because I didn’t like the coverage. I tried this brush with it, and it’s perfect! It also comes in a plastic case, which is great because I travel a lot with my work and my other brushes get damaged sometimes." —Thayel M. Caison
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 13 colors).
29. A long-lasting liquid eyeliner if you need a waterproof option to get you through a day filled with sweat, allergy-affected tear ducts, and just being a really emotional person, damnit!
Promising review: "Guys, I have hella hooded eyes, and any time I tried those expensive Sephora or Ulta eyeliners, they would smudge or fade INSTANTLY. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! The color pops, it's easy to use, and it NEVER SMUDGES, NEVER FLAKES, DOES NOT MOVE IN WATER!!! I fell asleep with it on, and it looked like I had just applied it when I woke up. ... Best eyeliner out there, take it from a girl who has tried ALL of those expensive eyeliners (Stila, Urban Decay, YOU NAME IT). I will never switch to anything else." —Jacky
Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in 14 shades and a matte or metallic finish).

Glamnetic is a small business that specializes on uniquely-designed, reusable press-on nails.
Promising review: "So happy with with the results so far. I have had them on for two days and they are feeling very secure. I feel like with a lot of adhesive nails they tend to look really fake and cheap, but these really look professional." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in various styles).
31. A weightless cream blush whose buildable formula will make you SWOON. Whether you're looking for a little rosy flush or some serious pop on your cheekbones, you're in control.
Promising review: "These are so high quality, and I am so happy I took a chance on them. For anyone who is familiar with Korean beauty products, know that these are very high-quality. The formula is very lightweight, the color is water-infused, and when you put the product on, it’s very natural looking. If you came to Amazon to look for a liquid blush, this is the absolute best option for the price you’re paying." —Nyooni
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 12 shades).
32. A 3-in-1 cleansing bar you can use as a cleanser, exfoliator, or a quick 3–5 minute brightening mask. It comes with a sponge and is super easy to use! Wet the sponge with warm water, rub it against the bar to create a lather, and then massage it onto your face. If you're not using it as a mask, rinse it off after a minute or two, pat your skin dry, and voila!
33. A powder foundation at an unbeatable price for newbie foundation wearers or anyone just looking to make the switch from liquid foundation. It provides full coverage, a matte finish, up to 24 hours of wear, AND it'll hold up to water, heat, and sweat (summer will be back eventually, ppl!!!)
Promising review: "I have purchased this three times in the color Sienna, and it is perfect! It's totally worth all the hype on TikTok. This is a very emollient powder that sticks to the skin. I prep with sunscreen and then use this. The fragrance dissipates quickly. I noticed the actual powder is bouncy to the touch. I have not used the pelican or sponge it comes with; I like to use a powder brush. It gives me full coverage, and I look flawless all day. I also don’t need to blot, and I am very oily. I will certainly continue to repurchase. This is the best powder I have tried since Mac Studio Fix." —Maria Webba
Get it from Amazon for $12.03+ (available in 13 shades).
34. 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: "This stuff is a holy grail product for me for a reason I wasn’t expecting! I bought this to keep in my beach bag for days out on the boat. My hair is always a tangled mess by the end of the day, so I thought this would help. It definitely helps with tangles, but it also has tamed my frizz so well that I use it every day now! I spray it on right out of the shower and comb through. I have also sprayed it on dry hair on days when I didn’t wash my hair. It’s fantastic!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in three scents).
35. A pack of curly wave clip-on extensions if you've dabbled with the idea of growing out your hair or getting extensions, but you a) can't seem to grow it that long without collecting a million dead ends along the way, and b) don't want to commit time and $$ to get them at the salon. Now you can easily clip them on yourself at home at an affordable price!
Promising review: "Wow! These extensions are beautiful! So easy to put on (beginner here), the color is amazing, the curls are perfect, and very thorough instructions. I didn't realize they were also including a comb, bonus hair band, extra fastener kit, and spray bottle for cleaning. I haven't tried it, but the instructions say you can straighten these as well. I can't believe the price for what you get! Highly recommend." —Jamie H

Promising review: "Love this spray. Like that it's small and portable. It does set your makeup matte, which I love. Keeps my makeup in place all day. I use it pretty much daily when it's summer. It is great for when you travel to anywhere hot and humid and don't want your makeup to slide off." —Tina J.
Get it from Amazon for $9.36.
37. A thermal care kit containing shampoo, leave-in treatment, and thermal protective treatment — a trio that works together to not only help restore moisture and shine to damaged locks, but to help protect it from heat and other irritants going forward.
My colleague Jordan Grigsby loves this kit! Here's what she has to say about it:
"You see that shine? That volume? That bounce? Babyyyy my hair is FLAWLESS. Witchcraft, right? Oh, and if you could feel it?! HONEYYYY, so, so soft and silky. It is seriously bone-straight and looks and feels soooo healthy! And, my hair is NATURAL (other than the obvious blue dye); I haven't used relaxers or keratin treatments in over 10 years. Now, I am by no means a hairstylist, and nothing tops their magical hands, but sweetieeeee, these products blow my mind. This trio does what needs to be done, and like, I did it — I delivered these results. Nothing has ever made my hair look like this unless a stylist was styling my hair. And when I step out of my house, you cannot tell me I'm not the most fabulous person in the world — I'm literally Beyoncé. My hair flows and bounces as if I have a personal fan in front of me, and I CANNOT keep my hands out of my hair. The shampoo and conditioner help get ALLLL the product buildup out of my hair and leave my hair feeling squeaky clean. Then, I add my serum (before blow-drying and again before straightening), and BAM — I'm flawless. The combo of all three is just *chefs kiss*, and they help protect my hair from heat damage. If you want a magic wand to set everything off, invest in the Babyliss straightener! My hairdresser uses it so I grabbed one too and now I always look like I just stepped out of the salon."
Get it from Amazon for $17.60.
38. A shimmering dry oil for those who are always up for an added pop of shine. Just be warned, anyone who sees you while you have this stuff on will pay you a million and one compliments and then ask where the heck they can buy a bottle for themselves!
39. A liquid glitter eyeshadow that'll be the star of the show in all of your fun makeup lewks! If this eyeshadow were a song it would be "Bejeweled" by Taylor Swift because when you step into the room with this pretty stuff on your eyelids, you'll definitely make the whole place shimmer.
Promising review: "I love this glitter eyeshadow. I used to use Stila and this is so much more affordable and easy to spread without spotting. Definitely recommend getting all the shades, it is worth it for a pop of shimmer." —beautyandbeast
Get it from Amazon for $5.10+ (available in 11 shades).
