1. A waterproof Nyx liquid eyeliner with a flexible and easy-to-use precision tip for perfect wings every single time. Plus, it's cruelty free and vegan!
Promising review: "This liquid eyeliner works great and lasts a long time. It does a fine line and can easily make it thicker. My favorite eyeliner." —Stacey M Elkins
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in black and brown).
2. Or a double-ended eyeliner stamp if you don't wanna 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: "It’s so easy to use and fast! I wore this eyeliner in the dead heat of a humid Georgia summer and even though the rest of me was wilted, my eyes looked fantastic! I bought two sets — one for home and one for travel. I wear glasses so I have to get really close to the mirror to make sure I don’t mis-stamp but it’s really hard to mess up. I will be buying again definitely!" —Chloe H.
Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes).
3. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that may help remove dark spots and fine lines.
Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. I have suffered from minor acne for almost two years, and I finally realized the products I was using were far too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin. After using gentle products and eventually moving on to K-beauty, I found this to lighten all the scarring from the years of picking at my breakouts. My scarring is still a bit noticeable, but it has gotten tremendously better thanks to this product and this product alone." —Marc
Get it from Amazon for $17.
4. And an all-in-one face-repairing cream with hyaluronic acid from the same company because it'll moisturize, hydrate, repair, AND soothe irritated skin. This also contains snail mucin which aids in exfoliation.
Promising review: "I don’t know how I was living without this stuff! It makes my skin feel so much better! It’s also helped with my hormonal breakouts! I put it in on every morning and night. It sinks in quickly. It has a very interesting texture to it and has no scent. Great for sensitive skin! I will always repurchase! It’s now a daily staple!" —Niki
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes).
5. A pore-control Anua heartleaf-extract cleansing oil for gently and effectively ridding your face of dirt, makeup, and blackheads. This hypoallergenic formula has soothing ingredients that won't cause clogged pores.
Promising review: "I used DHC Deep Cleansing Oil for 15 years until they started hiking up their prices; I had to find an alternative. I came across many influencers on Instagram who recommended this, and I took a chance even though I have very sensitive skin and break out easily with new products. The consistency is very different from DHC, but it still did the job well when it came to removing makeup. It’s been about three months, and I have to say there is a visible difference in my skin. All the sebum on my nose, which I thought was blackheads, is pretty much gone, and my skin has a smoother texture. None of this happened when I used to use DHC. Plus, it’s much cheaper. You can’t beat that. I highly recommend this product. It removes all makeup thoroughly, and skin overall improves. I will continue to purchase this cleansing oil for a long time as long as they don’t change the formula and don’t raise the price as DHC did. I’m a fan!" —Hanna Lee
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
6. A long-lasting mascara formulated to give you bold and intense lashes even *you* will think are falsies. Salon quality at a fraction of the cost? Yes, please!
Promising review: "The best I’ve tried so far, and I used Dior, Tarte, Too Faced, you name it. I always have a problem with brand-new mascara because they have too much product on the brush, especially first few uses, and my lashes stick together. I didn’t have this problem with this one. I could layer it without any product starting to fall off or my lashes sticking together. And I love that they don’t test on animals." —Detti
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
7. A niacinimide face serum whose honey-like texture will leave your skin with a subtle glow! It also contains propolis extract, which is an antioxidant that helps soothe skin.
Promising review: "I started using this about a month ago and have noticed such a difference in my skin as soon as the first few days. I had issues with my skin looking dull whenever I wasn’t wearing makeup; now, my skin is noticeably brighter, and I feel much more confident with a bare face. It hasn’t made a noticeable difference with my hyperpigmentation, but it has helped even out my skin tone all over my face. This is a new staple in my skincare routine!" —Nadhia Vega
Get it from Amazon for $18.39.
8. A K-beauty rice extract toner because it creates a protective barrier over your skin that'll help prevent water loss, eliminate dead skin cells, and provide moisture. It'll even help balance and refine skin texture. If you're dealing with flaky, dull, or rough skin, try adding this toner to your skincare routine!
9. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll remove years' worth of calluses quick and easy. 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 being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet are the softest they have ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
10. Some 6-hour hydrocolloid nose patches designed to target pimples, pores, and oil. Plus, it'll be weirdly satisfying to peel this off and see all the gunk hiding in your pores.
Promising review: "It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin I definitely recommend washing your face first and apply it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars I would." —Justina
Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55.
11. 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
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four shades).
12. Gold and snail slime eye patches that may sound a little...icky...but the results speak for themselves. After consistent use, you may just notice reduced puffiness and lighter under-eyes.
Promising review: "These things are freaking awesome! I have a terrible time with allergies, which causes dark under-eye rings and puffy skin. Used these little slimy patches under my eyes and was amazed at the result! Not only did they feel cool and soothing while on, but I noticed a definite improvement right away. The puffiness was significantly reduced, and there was a definite reduction in the dark coloration. The results were evident the next day — and noticed by my husband, who NEVER notices things like that. I plan on using them a couple of times a week during peak allergies and then once a week after that. Very satisfied." —Alicia Melvin
Get 60 patches from Amazon for $11.89.
13. Or a skin-smoothing polar bear hydrating eye stick since it'll help reduce 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.
14. An eight-second L'Oréal lamellar rinse-out treatment for shinier, healthier, and silkier hair in, well, eight seconds. This treatment targets damaged areas to help give you smooth and shiny hair.
Use this two to three times per week after shampooing your hair, and remember not to use it on your scalp. This treatment is just for the length of your hair.
Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c-type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would've thought this brand would work on my hair. I have always used ethnic hair products and stayed away from brands such as this one. I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen. Thank you so much!! ♥️" —Theressa Hailey
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
15. 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).
16. A tinted plumping lip oil made with cocoa butter, beeswax, and essential oils to help lock in moisture as it gives you the pout you deserve.
17. Or a nonsticky NYX lip gloss because it goes on smooth and packs a lustrous punch!
Promising reviews: "I was looking at Fenty alternatives and came across this. Definitely recommend. It smells great and lasts pretty long without feeling tacky. It’s currently my fave gloss." —Tatiana
"I don't know what to say other than, after I purchased these in four colors, I got rid of my Kylie Jenner glosses. This blows them out of the water and look at the price...under $5. No sticky feeling, it's pigmented, and doesn't get that weird white line after hours in summer heat." —amanda mas
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in 34 colors).
18. A mattifying dry shampoo powder whose benzene-free formula is designed to absorb excess sweat, oil, and dirt without leaving behind a white cast. Refresh your hair with this voluminizing powder!
Promising review: "I have tried IGK, Living Proof, Not Your Mother's, Amika, and so many others but THIS LASTS THE LONGEST! I am impressed by this product. Don't listen to the haters because I have severely fine and oily hair and this product allows me to last for one week without washing and it gives me volume without the toxicity of spray dry shampoo." —473X
Get it from Amazon for $18.
19. Some deep-reaching, ergonomic "flossing toothbrushes" with dual-layered flossing bristles that are designed to get deep into the grooves of your teeth and gums.
Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.
Here's what writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."
Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft, but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.
Get a pair from Amazon for $9.90 (also available as a four-pack).
20. 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.
21. 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: "I have used this product three times now and it has changed my hair drastically; it's so soft and glossy looking. I don’t even have to use any leave-in products because it’s so easy to comb through right out of the shower. So inexpensive and better than any hair salon products I’ve used in the past. Works better than K18 or Olaplex." —Alyx Ming
Get it from Amazon for $6.68.
22. A moisturizing and nonsticky Etude lip tint whose water-based formula absorbs quickly, leaving behind a perfect and long-lasting color. Pucker up!
Promising review: "While I haven't tried the Benefit lip tint, I saw this on TikTok and appreciated the lower price point. I am SO glad I gave this a chance! I only have the Cherry color, but it is the perfect natural color and can be deepened as desired upon application. There is no sticky residue, and it is not drying or irritating. It looks great alone but even better with gloss on top. Love!" —Mollie
Get it from Amazon for $6.85+ (available in five shades and combo packs).
23. A lightweight E.l.f. putty primer infused with squalane to help minimize the appearance of pores and moisturize your skin. This vegan formula will grip your makeup so it doesn't slip and slide all day.
Promising review: "Normally my makeup goes on great, but then once it dries it's super crusty and shows my pores. But this made everything so smooth, and my skin has never looked so healthy." —Taylor Kessinger
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A cute detangling brush with an ergonomic handle because it'll glide through wet or dry hair, removing knots as it goes. Whether you need it for you or your little one, it'll help get the job done without so much as a single "ouch."
Promising review: "This is my new favorite brush, and I use it all the time. I have mostly 4a hair, with maybe a touch of 3c here and there, but my hair is definitely in the kinky category, and this brush works great. I'm able to use it on my hair wet or dry as long as I have some product in it. When it's wet, I normally use oil and leave-in conditioner, and it glides right through with ease. With my dry hair, I normally just use oil if I'm doing a pre-poo, and it still glides through, but obviously, I'm much more careful working root to tip. I feel like some of the people who are struggling with this brush maybe don't know how to be careful while brushing your hair root to tip and making sure to use product for extra slip." —Marisa
Get it from Amazon for $10.79+ (available in nine colors/patterns).
25. 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: "I have combination skin (usually oily with dry patches) and am forever picking at my pores. My nose especially gets super fun blackheads. NOT ANYMORE! And if anything does pop up, removal is a breeze because my skin is so much healthier and it lifts right out and I can apply some toner or tea tree oil. This was completely an impulse purchase but now it's a staple in my weekly skincare routine." —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $12.50.
26. A Color Wow anti-frizz spray that'll combat humidity by repelling moisture. Just blow-dry to activate! This gluten-free formula is designed to give your hair a luscious glow.
Promising review: "This stuff is legit amazing. Mississippi heat down here 'real feel' is 111 most days. My hair usually starts to look frizzy and sorta funky wavy in some spots as soon as I leave the house due to the ridiculous humidity we have here. I am so impressed. Somehow, it gave my usually flat-to-my-head hair some volume as well. All I did was shampoo, conditioner, towel dry, and then blow-dry with tension like the back of the bottle says." —ChrisandLeslie
Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes).
27. A kit containing 600 nail art charms so you can create your own design and flaunt your unique style! This kit comes with nail gel glue, tweezers, and a pickup pencil.
28. A coconut oil-rich leave-in cream you can let air dry for perfectly smooth and hydrated curls!
Promising review: "I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while, my waves resemble curls, but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product once so far, and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant, so I was skeptical, but after about 15 minutes, I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror, and I was amazed. It looked styled. I slept on it, and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
29. A non-greasy CeraVe under-eye cream that contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which help to hydrate and soothe skin, leaving you with brighter and less puffy under-eyes.
Promising review: "This has truly been a savior for my under-eye concerns. It works wonders on dark circles and puffiness, leaving my delicate eye area feeling nourished and rejuvenated. The gentle formula doesn't irritate, and I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall texture and appearance of my skin. A must-have in my skincare routine!" —Veronica Smith
Get it from Amazon for $14.44.
30. A delightfully scented foaming mousse formulated with coconut and shea oils to hydrate hair, define curls, and combat frizz. It's also a great mousse to use atop natural protective styles like knotless braids.
Promising review: "Possibly better than Deva Curl foam mousse, and I can buy six of these for the price of one Deva Curl. This stuff is awesome. I have type 2c curly hair that, without mass product, gets like Krusty the Clown frizzy. I've loosely been following curly girl routines, sulfate/paraben/yada-yada free shampoo and conditioner, curly girl microfiber towel, satin pillowcase, the whole nine yards. I usually have to put serum, mousse, and sometimes hairspray in it to make it look decent, but then it's all crunchy. I used this stuff on my damp hair and let it air dry, and my hair looked so nice. It was soft, too, not crunchy. I actually had some nice curls form. So if you're at the end of your rope with your unruly hair, give this stuff a try, and if it doesn't work for you, it was only $4, not $24." —MrsT 111111
Get it from Amazon for $3.98.
31. Or a Marc Anthony curl-enhancing styling foam enriched with vitamin E and silk amino acids for drawing in and locking in moisture. Get ready for luscious, shiny, and voluminous curls that last all day long!
Promising review: "I've always had a natural light curl in my hair, which many products I have used have wiped out. This was my first time using this product, and I'm very impressed. I have more of my natural curls back and a hold that lasts throughout the day (on top of a lot of compliments). The scent is a very light citrus that is pretty much unnoticeable, which is a big plus to me. Happy that I have found a product that actually works." —Ty
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
32. A chic hair claw clip so you don't have to do much to look put together. Life is hard enough as it is. So just grab this stylish clip and put your hair up. Now you're ready to tackle the day.
Promising review: "This is the best hair claw I've ever bought! Super sturdy and strong; it even held all my thick hair up! Looks exactly like the image and is super cute!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in a gold or silver color).
33. A vegan and paraben-free self-tanner if you simply refuse to wait for the sun to come out to get the glow you deserve. Get the tan of your dreams in just an hour!
Promising review: “If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I’ve used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in seven shades).
34. 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 $7.99.
35. A bottle of 100% rosehip oil full of hydrating and nourishing antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids to help improve your skin's elasticity and reduce the visibility of stretch marks, scarring, and acne.
Read our Radha Rosehip oil deep dive to learn more!
Promising review: "Absolutely love this product!! I’ve recently struggled with acne all over the face, and while washing it every single night helped a bit, nothing was giving me truly clear skin. I bought this gem and very quickly that changed! I’m so pleased with this product and how well it has helped clear up my acne! My face always feels incredibly soft after using it, and the best part is that it doesn’t make my usually oily skin look greasy when applied!! I’ve been recommending this product to everyone I know! It’s an absolute must-have!" —Jennifer R Bennett
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
36. A lightweight liquid blush you can build up for impressive coloring. Made with vitamin E and green tea, this blush can also nourish your skin!
Promising review: "I absolutely adore how this blush looks on my skin! The texture is stunning, giving my cheeks a natural, radiant glow. Plus, the doe foot applicator makes application a breeze, effortlessly blending onto my cheeks for a flawless finish. It's become a staple in my makeup routine!" —LMC
