Promising review: "I have used Lancôme Cils booster XL for years at $25 a tube, but let me tell you, I will NEVER buy Lancôme eyelash booster again. This primer is the bomb!! If I don't use eyelash primer, you can not see my lashes. Now you can see my lashes at the price of $5.99 instead of $25 a tube, and ladies it does not get any better than that!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This stuff is MAGICAL!!!! It smells lovely — tropical and floral. Slides on like Chapstick. Doesn't flake like lipstick or get sticky like lipgloss. It just feels like a fancy chapstick. BUT. Even though its clear and glides on — wait about 10 seconds and it really does turn into a lip tint!!! Idk how!! It's probably my new favorite beauty product. I will stash one everywhere I need a lil' touch up." —Grace Roberts

Read a BuzzFeeder's glowing review on this body soap (in conjunction with these Korean exfoliating towels) to get rid of the hard-to-reach spots on her back!
Promising review: "I have folliculitis, which is irritation of the hair follicles. I have it on my chest specifically and my dermatologist recommended that I use anti-fungal soaps. I tried tea-tree oils, anti-fungal soaps, etc. to try to fix the problem, but nothing really worked or was just too expensive. This soap is not super cheap, but it's the only soap that's ever worked. One of these bottles lasts me about 2.5 months, sometimes longer depending on how many showers I have to take a day due to yard work or working out, etc. It's also cruelty free, which is incredibly important to me. They have a lifelong customer in me for sure." —Featherpin

Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms, and since I have very delicate skin, I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I always tried out different cream deodorant or gels, but they either irritate my skin or don't stop the odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad and I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful and isn't harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms still smell like coconut." —Patricia

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I keep repurchasing it, and there aren't that many beauty products I stay loyal too. This makes my hair — which I color often and wash daily — very shiny and soft. I get a lot of compliments on how healthy and shiny it looks. When I don't use this, I really notice a difference in the shine and softness. It does shorten the blow dry time too. It is well worth the money to me, and it is a product I am willing to splurge on because of the visible results. I think it really does protect my hair from heat damage." —Annette

I usually like to keep my skincare and makeup products separate because I'm scared of causing unnecessary irritations, but I tried this bb out and was pleasantly surprised — it did a great job at covering my occasional, pre-period pimples (which is most important) but I noticed they healed over a little faster too, thanks to the salicylic acid of course. So, a win-win!

Promising review: "These pimple patches are a lifesaver! This is the third pack I have bought so I would like to think I have 'mastered' how to use these patches. These will only work on whitehead pimples, as these patches essentially collect the pus and drain the pimple. This will leave you with redness around the pimple, but you will no longer have a visible whitehead pimple. Once the patch is on I continue with my normal skincare routine, which is applying toner and moisturizer. It is best to use the patch at night because the longer you keep it on, the more effective it will be. You can visually see if the patch is working because within a few hours or so (sometimes even faster) you can see the pus starting to spread underneath the patch." —BillyP

I personally stan the shade "Yogurt," which is pictured above and reviewed below!
Promising review: "I am lazy and hate doing my makeup, especially after a morning weekday workout. I wanted something I could throw in my bag and smear around my eyes in a couple of seconds, just to add a little color without the fussiness. This fits the bill perfectly. I am pale with light hair and eyes, and the 'Yogurt' color is exactly what I wanted — it gives my eyes a little definition, but isn't super noticeable. The slight shimmer also makes me look awake on days where I'm dragging. It is not intensely shiny though, which is important to me. It just reflects light and looks luminescent, not glittery." —Rachel

Promising review: "I am totally blown away by this product! I have been consistently using a more expensive powder for about six months, and was dissatisfied with the fact that my skin appeared grasy/oily by the end of the work day. By 5 p.m. I have been wearing my makeup for about 10 hours. I also live in a warm climate and have oily skin. By the end of my work day using this powder, my face is still very matte! I am THRILLED! This way outperforms the other powder and is 13% of the cost. I can't believe it. I'm never going back." —AlexisJulian

Promising review: "This lip balm has a very nice, light smell. The included brush makes using the lips so easy and doesn't leave any mess. After a just couple uses, my lips started to heal. Nice and soft. No more cracks. I don't have to use Chapstick all the time anymore, and it looks like the jar will go a long way because you only need to use a tiny bit each time." —See the Sunshine

Promising review: "By far better than any other facial blotting papers I've used. Love that the papers are not flimsy and one paper, from edge to edge, does my whole face. I use it after putting on my tinted moisturizer and cream blush in the morning as a final touch before spritzing with rose water and dashing out the door. Perfectly matte and decreases pore visibility. I have my mom's pale Irish skin, and there's no color transfer. Seriously has cut down on my makeup time by 5-10 minutes. I reuse around noon and am good until about 5 p.m. Forever convert!" —BostonChic35

Promising review: "Fantastic! I have really oily skin midway through the day — my T-zone is all kinds of shiny and my makeup is melting off. But this keeps my forehead amazingly oil and shine free! I tried a Murad Mattifier sample from Sephora, and this blows it out of the water. For the price, I highly recommend trying this moisturizer." —THS

Promising review: "I've been using cheap Rimmel eyeliner on my waterline for 15 years, and while it got the job done, I'd always have to reapply at least twice throughout the day. This stuff stays on all day and I hardly get any of those annoying black 'eye boogers' in the corners of my eyes, like I did with the other stuff. And after 12 hours of wear, NO SMUDGING! Pricey but worth it!" —Mina D.

Promising review: "I found this product through a BuzzFeed article for those with frizzy hair and THIS PRODUCT DID NOT DISAPPOINT PEOPLE! I put this serum through the ringer — this stood up to Bay Area fog AND the nasty, humid heat wave we got a couple weeks ago. No frizz, no extra curls, nothing! On top of that, it made my hair super glossy. I'm very impressed. Heads up though, a little goes a long way. One pump is enough to cover my hair and I have medium-length hair. It can make your hair look oily if you use too much. I actually have oily hair, so I work on my ends first and then work up to my roots." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have bleached, crazy colored hair, and this stuff makes me hair soft and manageable. I see less color wash out of my hair with this than any other sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo. My scalp feels good. You can tell the PH gets balanced — my hair is less tangled and there is less breakage. The new baby hair that I am seeing grow (because this cleans scalp build up) is super shiny, soft and healthy! I LOVE THIS STUFF! This in combination with the spray makes your hair feel soft! It is not a miracle cure all for very bleached hair (like mine) but it sure does make a difference!" —Christina333

Promising review: "This refreshes my worn-out manicure very well. I apply this as a top coat over my old manicure. It re-spreads and smoothes the polish out, and leaves it fresh and shiny. It's a bit pricey, but it does save me a lot of time and trouble not having to re-polish my nails." —SoniaSophia

Read my full review of this awesome sunscreen here (#2)!
Promising review: "I have very, very sensitive eyes. Most every sunscreen burns my eyes, even if I put the sunblock not too close to them. I've tried about a dozen different sunblocks and this one is the best of the bunch (Kiss My Face comes in second place). I really love this stuff. It's effective, goes on smoothly, and doesn't irritate my eyes. It's a great formula!" —David

While Glossier's Boy Brow is always a solid pick, I actually prefer the thin, longer wand on this product because I feel like it's easier to wiggle through and covers more ground more quickly.

Promising review: "I’m 35 and tend to have very puffy eyes (due to genetics and having two little kids), and this is the only cream that I’ve felt made any real difference. Not a miracle, but maybe a half miracle?! Will absolutely continue to buy, which very rarely happens with any beauty products — usually they don’t live up to this promise, but this one does!" —A.

Promising review: "I have tried many eyeshadow primers and this one is by far the best. I have oily eyelids so after a few hours, my problem is missing eyeshadow. Ever since I started using this primer, my eyeshadow stays put. It really helps my oily eyelids. My eyeshadow doesn't disappear and it doesn't crease! I was hesitant to try it at first because I didn't think a drugstore primer would work, but it did." —Ulta Customer
