1. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that can help remove years' worth of calluses quickly and easily. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let it do its magic, and rinse!
Promising review: "Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned to be very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
2. Or a tea tree oil foot peel mask — an exfoliating treatment perfect for dry, callused, and cracked feet. Simply put the mask on for an hour and watch as your skin begins to peel over the following 1–2 weeks.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I have terrible calluses on my feet. This product makes your feet baby smooth. Just bought for the second time because I was so pleased with the outcome. Definitely recommend." —Railroadsue
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three fragrances).
3. A bold NYX liquid eyeliner you'll want in every color to match each and every one of your moods and 'fits. Go a little wild and mix and match 'em!
Check out a TikTok of the Nyx Epic Wear Liquid Liner in action.
Here's what BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis, pictured above, has to say about it: "I'm wearing the blue liner there on the left, and the reviews are 100% right. This liner LASTS. I love to throw it on top of my usual black liner when I want an extra pop on a night out or am just feeling a little 'adventurous.' The liner's super thin tip glides nicely and makes it easy to be precise, too!"
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 $6.50+ (available in 14 matte and metallic shades).
4. A rejuvenating eye cream because its vegan ingredients absorb quickly into the skin to help start the process of brightening and lifting your under-eye area. Perpetual late nights got nothing on this cream!
LilyAna Naturals is a family-owned small business using natural ingredients to craft high-quality skincare products.
Promising review: "I never ever write reviews. I have tried every eye cream out there. Not one does what it says. This was immediate! I saw softening of my wrinkles and crow's feet. It’s amazing. I will be buying this again and again." —melisa delaney
Get it from LilyAna Naturals on Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes).
5. Or a skin-smoothing polar bear hydrating eye stick for reducing under-eye circles and puffiness. Its formula is enriched with glacial waters to help improve your skin's elasticity. Get ready to feel refreshed!
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
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
6. An Essence mascara if you're looking for bold and intense lashes even *you* will think came from falsies. Salon quality at a fraction of the cost? Yes, please!
Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews of products but this one is worth it!!! I loooove it! For the price, it is the best mascara I have ever used, hands down! My lashes are short and very light-colored. This stuff lasts all day and doesn’t smudge and is reasonably easy to remove with makeup remover. My new fave mascara for sure!!!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
7. A rainbow eyeshadow palette that'll make just about any lewk possible! This highly pigmented palette contains cool and warm tones as well as mattes and glitters, so go absolutely awf.
Promising reviews: "I really love this! The colors (that I've tried so far) go on wonderfully and blend easily. I had recently bought a palette by Morphe; I had never tried them before but it looked nice...it was HORRIBLE! The colors were chalky, didn't blend, and barely showed up. This is so much better and for a third of the price!" —adorkable
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
8. A pack of teeth-whitening pens to get rid of coffee stains for far less money than you might've thought. This pen's soft-bristle brush is perfect for anyone with sensitive teeth. It even makes application as easy as saying CHEESE!
Promising review: “I was hesitant to try a new teeth-whitening product after using harsh whitening strips that caused pain and lingering sensitivity. But, as a coffee and red wine drinker, I wanted to find a solution. This teeth-whitening pen is terrific. Easy to use, works well and does not have the downside of either the strips or the $450 option at the dentist. I also really love this product since whitening my front teeth is the objective. It is a great value as I anticipate the two pens that are included will last one year. I will definitely buy this again and am very happy to recommend it.” —Rebecca Shehee
Get it from Amazon for $18.95.
9. A rose water curl refresher perfect for perkin' up your curls or coils post-workout. No matter the occasion, this sulfate- and paraben-free formula will help liven up your hair's natural texture. Just spray and scrunch!
TGIN is a Black woman-owned small business making haircare products specifically for Black women.
Promising review: "I purchased this as an alternative to Vernon Francois Nourishing Water Mist, which was out at every Sally's I went to, even on Amazon and the BSS didn't carry it. Scavenging the BSS for an alternative and landed on this. Ingredients looked pretty good and way better in comparison to Vernon Francois and it smelled divine. The test would be how it would make my hair feel after shampooing and I must say, my locs felt incredible! I will be using this from now on and it's less expensive than Vernon Francois." —Angela Davis
10. A moisturizing and vitamin E-infused makeup-correcting stick because having to completely remove your makeup to correct a mistake wastes time you simply do not have.
11. A CeraVe body wash with salicylic acid and ceramides that'll help you deal with any "chicken skin" flare-ups. This will exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling moisturized!
Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I have had bumps on the back of my arms and top of my thighs for as long as I can remember. I've used this with a exfoliating sponge TWICE and they are noticeably smaller and my arms actually feel smooth!! I'm sure as I continue to use it they will be gone completely. I rarely write reviews but had to come tell you all how awesome this stuff is if you are dealing with the same problems. NO MORE CHICKEN SKIN!! YAYY" —Taymcg
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
12. A vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid, retinol, and salicylic acid to help brighten skin and clear acne. This is perfect for anyone who prefers serums with multiple actives so you don't need to apply them separately. Fresh-looking skin is just a bottle away!
Promising review: "This product is just perfect for my skin type! I’m using it every night and it’s helping me a lot with my post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation problems caused by my last acne outbreak. I have been using this product for 1.5 months and the results are visible. My skin looks more hydrated and the dark spots have cleared. (I’m also using benzoyl peroxide-based acne treatment to control my acne while I’m using this product)." —Desiree
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes).
13. A revitalizing hair protein treatment for conditioning and repairing dry, damaged, and over-processed hair. TBH I'm already obsessed with your hair evolution!
Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good, I have really missed my hair's soft texture. This treatment works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel-dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes, and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough looking. When I woke up, my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product! I have long, fine hair, but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie
Get it from Amazon for $7.12.
14. Paula's Choice BHA liquid exfoliant if you're sensitive to scents but want to unclog your pores, as well as exfoliate and brighten your skin. This unscented leave-on formula is even gentle enough for daily use (though you may need to work up to it!).
Promising review: "I bought this in a dark time: My skin texture was garbage, all my pores were massive, I had clogged pores all over my face, and I was just waiting for them to become actual acne. I got this because I just wanted SOMETHING to help with my skin texture while I waited for my oral prescription. Now listen here — THE FIRST time I used it, I saw a difference. My forehead and my cheeks right to the side of my nose were flawless. I don’t know what kind of stuff was in it that provided immediate results. I thought maybe that was just 'fake' results, like it has something to gloss over the skin surface to give the appearance of smoothness. But then I used this stuff twice a day for four days, and alllll of the tiny red pimples all over my cheeks and forehead were gone and my pores STAYED small! I am telling you. This product has changed my whole face in under a week. It’s so clear! I expect to have full celebrity skin going forward. You have to try this. You barely need to use any of it, too. It’s a thicker gel liquid, so it smooths on so easily and you don’t have to use a ton like with a toner or micellar water. I’m just shook. I’ll buy this for the rest of my life!!" —K Fied
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).
15. A flat top hexagon foundation brush because you're tired of the splotchy application you get from your sponges. This brush leaves no streaks, and because it does not absorb product, you'll likely have to use less of it. Looking flawless just got a little easier.
And it comes with a case!
Check out TikTok of the makeup brush in action.
Promising review: "This has changed my makeup game. I love it! I don’t know if it really helps to save product but it does apply it seamlessly and quickly. It’s shortened my makeup time and gives me a great, even finish." —Marcella
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).
16. A one-step Elizavecca carbonated clay mask to help exfoliate your pores and reveal a healthy glow. And watch as your face gets covered in foam!
Check out our full Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask review.
Promising review: "I decided to try this mask based on the high customer rating and affordable price just to see if it would live up to the hype. I just finished washing it off my face and I have to say I do see a difference, albeit not a dramatic one. I have enlarged pores in my T-zone and issues with blackheads around my chin and after one use, my pores appear smaller and tighter and most of the smallest blackheads and bumps are gone from around my chin. I am impressed but I think with regular use it might make an even bigger difference — maybe a couple of times a week. Oh yeah, it's also really fun to watch and feel the bubbles foaming up on your face!" —Elisabeth
Get it from Amazon for $8.90.
17. A curly hair children's leave-in detangling conditioner made with jojoba oil, vitamin B5, and plum seed oil so wash day for your little one is waaaay easier.
Promising review: "I have curly hair that tangles easily and this stuff is just as good if not better than the It’s a 10 leave-in conditioner at half the price. It used to take me like 15 minutes to brush out my hair and now it’s less than 5 and I have less breakage. Definitely buy this stuff everyone! Plus it has a neat little lock on the sprayer!" —Lauren Sheffield
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
18. An oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll soak up any excess oil. Forget those disposable oil-blotting sheets and get instant matte skin ASAP!
Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." —Jennifer Helseth
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn’t take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" —Daff Laff
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
21. A hair finishing stick if you need some help slicking down rogue flyaways during the day so you can maintain a flawless finish. And because it's made with natural ingredients, you'll be moisturizing your hair too!
Promising review: "I can’t believe this actually works. I’ve always had baby hairs, and they are so annoying to work with. I’ve tried hairspray, gel, etc. But nothing has worked as great as this finishing cream." —Christina C Guardado
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
22. Or an edge control gel for more coarse and curly flyaways and baby hairs!
BUT please don't feel any pressure to lay your edges unless you way want to! Check out, "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna."
Promising review: "Hands down the best edge control I have ever used and I have used a lot of them on my natural hair. Stayed all day! No flakes and non greasy!" —Mrs.Washington
Get it from Amazon for $4.95+ (available in seven sizes).
23. A cult-fave facial applicator brush so you can easily and evenly spread your skincare products over your face. You'll love how swiftly you can apply masks, peels, and serums.
24. A cute lil' octopus-shaped blackhead remover to gently scrub away excess sebum and exfoliate your pores. It'll help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and whatever else is trapped in your clogged pores.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me. Smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." —LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
25. A pack of seven reusable hemp and cotton makeup pads that'll help you apply toner or remove foundation. Plus, these triple layer pads feel super soft against skin. Disposable rounds got nothin' on these!
Get it from our Goodful shop for $13.
26. An eyeliner stamp so you don't have to trial-and-error your way to the perfect cat-eye. This smudge-proof and waterproof formula will keep you looking fierce all day long.
Promising review: "I don’t wear makeup because I pretty much don’t know how to...I thought I’d give this a go because I have no skills and can’t do a cat-eye to save my life. But I was able to do this on the first try! I really thought it was going to take a while to get the hang of things but it didn’t! Truly amazing and it stays on all day and comes off easily! Love love love!" —Ilana
Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes).
27. An exfoliating glove to help you bring the spa experience home. Easily lift away dead skin to reveal soft and glowy skin.
Promising review: "Seriously, forget your body scrubs that claim to help with KP and do a mediocre job. These are amazing and they are a fraction of the price of those body scrubs. Even great for decently sensitive skin like mine! The KP on the back of my arms is gone and stays gone when i use this twice per week. I also use it on my legs to keep ingrown hairs at bay and it does an awesome job. Also amazing exfoliation prep for self-tan application and helps get the self tan off when you're ready for it to come off better than your average loofa." —Kayla
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (also available in a pack of two).
28. A nail and cuticle repair oil that'll help soften cuticles and strengthen your nails when used daily.
Promising review: "My nails have always been cracked, thin, and brittle. I read about this product and decided to give it a try. It’s the first time I have been able to grow out my nails. I’m so amazed by this product that I had to come back to write my first review. It really works!!" —Stace
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
29. A L'Oreal natural glow enhancer infused with glycerin and shea butter for an illuminating tint and a sun-kissed glow that lasts all day long. Go get your shine on!
Promising review: "This is the product to buy instead of the more expensive brand (the well-known one with the tipsy animal name lol). The color is beautiful. It's just as good as the $$$ brand." —ANDREA BALKIEWICZ

30. A pack of six liquid matte lipsticks if you want a pout that just won't fade! Made with moisturizing ingredients, this set will keep your lips hydrated without transferring or smudging.

Get it from Amazon for $9.50.
32. A set of reusable Glamnetic press-on nails that are great for up to three weeks per wear. No more painting out of the lines or using your savings to get expensive gels at the salon!
Promising review: "I saw these all over my TikTok FYP and was so curious to try them. The Mariposa nails are the first ones that I have tried and they are absolutely beautiful, and just after two days I have gotten so many compliments. The glue holds super well and the application process was super simple. I don't think that I will ever get acrylic nails again, as a set like this would likely be three times the price." —Leslie and Paige
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 28 styles).
33. An extreme hold tinted eyebrow gel since it'll not only help you create the perfect brow shape, but also help you keep that shape for up to 16 hours. This flake-resistant brow mascara offers a natural look you'll be glad you can get every single day.
Promising review: "I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows and throughout the day I would sweat through it and it wouldn’t last. I tried this because the price was great and I’m glad I did. This product is awesome. I’ve had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift and they are still in place! It doesn’t dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder and this does NOT affect the look of the powder nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." —Shelby
Get it from Amazon for $7.25+ (available in five shades).
34. A vegan and cruelty-free holographic nail polish if your aesthetic is a little bit futuristic and a little bit alien chic. It's also long-lasting and chip-resistant. And don't let the glitter fool you — this nail polish is a breeze to remove.
ILNP Cosmetics is a small biz making truly iconic polishes.
Promising review: "This nail polish line is a game-changer!! Gorgeous color, super sparkly, smooth application, and long-lasting. Hasn’t chipped at all in days. I will definitely be ordering other colors." —Brittany A.
Get it from ILNP Cosmetics on Amazon for $10+ (available in a variety of colors).

36. A non-greasy 10-in-1 leave-in spray that conditions, detangles, and protects against heat. Basically it's a miracle in a bottle. If you're on the lookout for something to help prevent breakage that'll also leave you with a healthy-looking sheen, this is the hair treatment for you.
Mane Club is a small haircare business making cruelty-free and vegan products.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this spray:
"I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow-drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow-dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow-dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends."
