1. A CoverGirl matte concealer reviewers use in lieu of a foundation because it provides great coverage. That's one less step in your beauty regimen!
Promising review: "The best coverage EVER!!!! I swear by this concealer! It feels heavy when you start to apply, but it’s good once you blend it into your skin. It’s a true matte concealer and dries fast so you have to blend quickly or apply and blend as you go. This concealer can be used as a quick coverage in various parts of your skin and look like a full face because of how well it covers and blends. Find your shade and BUY!!!!!!!!" —Dee S
Get it from Amazon for $3.76+ (available in 29 shades).
2. A Revlon hot-air brush that'll dry, style, and add volume to your hair in one fell swoop! With this oval brush, you can say "goodbye" to tangles and frizz, and "hello" to the rest of your day.
Have coilier hair? The Revlon paddle brush hair dryer might work better for you!
Promising review: "Amazing product. I wish I found this 20 years ago!! I have naturally curly hair and enjoy a nice blowout without having that pin straight 'burnt' flat iron look. This product helped me achieve the blowout look in about five minutes (yes five!). When it comes to hair, I’m a super novice and this is by far the easiest most effective (inexpensive) blow out. I would give this more than five stars if I could. Where has it been all my life?!?!" —Dominique
Get it from Amazon for $34.88+ (available in three styles).
3. A plant-based dry shampoo to simultaneously cleanse, balance, and add volume to your hair because you don't have time to do your 15-step wash day process every single day. Made with rice starch and tapioca, this will absorb quickly into your hair, taking care of oil and odor while it does so.
Act+Acre is a woman-owned small hair-wellness business dedicated to making sure you have healthy and clean hair. And because sustainability is important to them, their plant-based products use 90% less energy to be created.
Promising review: “I have quite fine bleached blonde hair and I normally find that dry shampoo weighs my hair down and leaves it looking pretty stiff. However, this dry shampoo is COMPLETELY different; it's so light and absorbs in so quickly and actually left my hair looking more voluminous. I'm 100% converted!” —Gav
4. Or a dry shampoo foam whose coconut milk-enriched formula dries in 60 seconds so you'll instantly refresh dry and dull hair. If you're ready for shiny, healthy-looking hair, look no further!
Promising review: "Its scent is light and not overwhelming like a lot of dry shampoos. It is easy to use and makes my hair feel clean. If you have fine hair like mine, it will make you feel like you have thicker hair. I only shampoo my hair once a week now and use this in between. Great value for the money." —giggles
Get it from Amazon for $7.24 (also available in two other styles).
5. An Essence lash-defining mascara if you have no time to apply falsies but still want a bold and intense lash look that'll last all day.
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

6. A cute detangling brush for easily gliding through wet or dry hair, removing those noticeable knots as you go. Whether you need it for you or your little one, it'll get the job done without so much as a single "ouch."
Promising review: “I'm a single dad of a 6-year-old girl and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to brush her own hair now.” —Nguyen P.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors).
7. A hydrating leave-in conditioning spray formulated to swiftly get rid of knots, tangles, and flyaways. And because it's made using argan oil, shea butter, and jojoba proteins, you can expect to have a good hair day every day!
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 $5.99.
8. A Glossier Boy Brow, a pomade that both thickens *and* conditions your eyebrows. Perfectly soft and fluffed brows are only a few flicks (and clicks) away!
Promising review: "I wore this to a festival, and it stayed on through infinite sweat there. After the festival, I got hit by a car on the side of the road, and after getting pulled out from under a car and going to the hospital, the only intact part of my makeup when I left the hospital was this brow product." —Glossier Customer
Get it from Glossier for $16 (available in five colors).
9. Or an ultra slim, double-ended Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil for perfectly defined and natural-looking brows that'll last all day long! And because it's got a spoolie on one end, you won't have to go searching your overcrowded makeup bag for one. Makeup made easy.
Need a more budget-friendly option? Check out this brow pencil from Maybelline.
Promising review: "This is the only eyebrow pencil I use. My eyebrows are sparse in places, and the fine point on this product is perfect. It doesn't look fake at all. You can apply it in tiny short strokes and then use the brush on the other end to blend, and the results are amazing! I've used it for several years now and wouldn't think of using anything else. I just wish I had found this in the first place because it would've saved me a lot of grief and a lot of wasted money." —A shopper
Get it from Amazon for $23 (available in 12 shades).
10. A set of multipurpose dermaplaning razors if you're looking to exfoliate your skin while getting rid of dirt and hair. These are also perfect for shaping your brows when you don't have the time to individually pluck each hair.
This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!
Promising review: "I suppose it's my hearty peasant German ancestry, but I've always been a hairy girl. Plucking the more egregious of the thick black hairs is required at least a two to three times week. I'd been eying these razors for a while and finally took the plunge. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." —Tara D
Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.99.
11. A dual eye cream and concealer because no one has time to apply both. Made with hyaluronic acid, this magic formula will provide 24-hour hydration and help de-puff your eye area in about a week!
Promising review: "I was surprised by how much I loved this. I’ve been trying to find a concealer for a long time. I have dry skin and a lot of concealers made the skin under my eyes look crepey and settled into my fine lines. This one out of several I’ve tried has not done any of that! I use as minimal product as possible to cover my dark circles, and so far so good!" —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in 13 shades).
12. A blow-drying spray designed to cut your hair-drying time in half while also helping to get rid of frizz and tangles. Its lightweight formula will also protect your hair from heat damage and breakage. Bad hair day where?
Promising review: "I am SUPER STOKED with this blow-dry spray. My hair dresser has been using this on me for years, and I finally purchased it. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. It cuts my blow-dry time down by at least 40%. My hair is much smoother and healthier since I have been using. I like that it protects my hair from the heat of the blow-dryer and my flat iron. I would highly recommend!" —Roxy
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three sizes).
13. Or a coconut oil-rich leave-in cream you can just 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 one time 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 $6.97.
14. A pair of high-waisted, vintage-inspired palazzo pants that'll make your basic tees and not-so-basic crop tops feel a bit more dressed up without a lot of effort.
Promising review: "I love these pants so much. It has a simple hook closure so that the fit is as flat as can be against your stomach. The fabric is comfy and breezy, and the look and feel of the pants make me feel like an old timey gangster. Also it has pockets!" —Aylabadayla
Get them from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors/patterns).
15. A stick of anti-chafing balm because you wanna wear an easy-breezy mini dress but don't have time to scavenge for bike shorts and are too scared you'll rub your thighs raw. Now, that's no longer an issue! And this breathable plant-based balm won't clog your pores!
Promising review: "I am a lifelong curvy lady whose thighs have rubbed together since the beginning of time, probably, so I’m no stranger to chafing. I wear cotton bike shorts under my dresses, and that helps a little, but there’s still bare parts of my skin that touch, and I can’t wear them with denim shorts, rompers, etc. This morning, I applied the balm to my inner thighs under a sundress and spent a day walking around in the heat and sunshine; it was hot, and I was sweating, but miraculously, my thighs felt fine! I applied the balm at around 11:30 a.m., and as I write my review, it’s almost 7:30 p.m., but my legs are going strong. Other parts of me have definitely reacted to being out and about, but not my thighs. Without this stuff, they would be pink and tender, but they feel soft and happy. I am absolutely impressed." —Gina
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
16. A Zipuller if you've never worn a dress with the zip pulled up all the way because your arms don't bend that way. Don't spend time you don't have reaching and reaching for a zipper that you can't, well, reach.
Just attach, step in, and zip!
Promising review: "I live alone, so one of the biggest troubles I have is zipping up dresses by myself. I tried this product, and it works great! I tried it with both small zippers and large zippers. As long as it can loop through the hole, the Zipuller can grip it. Plus, the grip is pretty sturdy and does not become loose when you pull it up. Never has this task been easier! I am so happy that I purchased it, and I recommend that you do, too!" —Cherie Weissman
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three colors).
17. A hanging closet organizer that'll fit up to 20 rolled shirts if your drawers are so overrun it takes you forever to find the one shirt you're actually looking for. Make getting dressed in the morning as quick and easy as pulling a shirt out of a roll!
The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business helping you keep your closet and your home organized.
"I'm a mom, partner, and grammy to twins! I am a lifelong crafter, seamstress (yes, I used that word!), and disorganized person. I designed the Roll Keeper to help me organize my mess and then shared it to help others organize theirs!" —The Roll Keeper founder, Traci.
Promising review: “This is such a neat tool! I’m so impressed, and I’m so glad I found it! I was hanging up all my T-shirts, and I have cleared up so much room in my closet now! I thought it might be a hassle to have to take the shirts in and out of it whenever you wanted to wear one, and it isn’t at all. I also added my leggings to it as well, which cleared up room in my dresser. If you’re thinking about it, JUST BUY IT! You won’t regret it!” —caseyjoy9716
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and colors) and from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $16.99.
18. An Etude House hair-protecting headband to keep your hair out of the way while you wash your face and put on makeup. Now you won't get your hair wet or mess up your eyeliner application.
Promising review: "I love these hairbands! I use this to keep my hair out of my face while washing it everyday. I also use it when I'm getting ready to keep my hair out of my face when applying makeup. I like that I don't have to tie my hair back if I've straightened or curled it as not to mess up the look." —kate
Get it from Amazon for $5.43.
19. A makeup-correcting stick because having to completely remove your makeup to correct a mistake wastes time you simply do not have. Plus, it's infused with anti-inflammatory vitamin E, which will help your face feel moisturized!
Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using Q-tips dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" —Katherine
Get it from Amazon for $7.97.
20. An adorable squiggly barrette whose bold shape and fun color will make it look like you really tried to get yourself together today (even if you barely ran a comb through your hair).
21. Or an eight-pack of knotted headbands that come in enough colors to match all your potential outfits so you don't have to do any thinking at all when it comes to your hairdo.
22. A wrinkle release fabric spray if you have no time, space, or energy to iron. Just spray, tug, and hang to dry for wrinkle-free clothes in minutes!
Promising review: “How do people not know about this? I can’t believe I lived so long without it. Works extremely well, and makes leaving for work in the morning drastically easier. No more steaming my tops in the a.m. I can finally pack clothes that wrinkle in a suitcase and not stress about it.” —Amazon Customer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.
23. 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: "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 $14.97 (available in three sizes).
24. A pack of oil-absorbing tissues your T-zone will be eternally grateful for. And because they're made with organic bamboo charcoal, they'll be gentle on your skin. Sweat and oil will *not* ruin the epic glam looks you spent all morning on!
Check out our Pleasing Care oil-blotting sheets review for more deets!
Promising review: "I've had oily skin my whole life and have used countless types of oil-blotting sheets because they're lifesavers. THESE ARE AMAZING. Great deal, big sheets, and they pull out one at a time so easily. I used to use Clean & Clear sheets or knockoffs of the same thing, but I'll never go back. Give these a try; they are completely worth it. They work well and are easy to use. No negative things to say at all." —Kelsey
Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $6.95 (available in three multi-packs and two scents).
25. Or an oil-absorbing face roller made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll soak up any excess oil. Instant matte skin FTW!
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 $13.49.
26. A universal crayon you can use on your lips, cheeks, and eyes, which takes the thinking out of what makeup lewk to attempt. Congrats, you just saved yourself a heck of a lot of time!

27. A lint remover so you'll be able to reclaim your clothes from the mobs of fur that have been calling them home in just a few quick swipes. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using this, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —Stephanie
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
28. A fast-drying top coat spray if your nail polish tends to smudge even when you've left it to dry for 525,600 minutes. Just spray this on, wait 60 seconds, and you'll get the smooth, smudge-proof finish you've been waiting for.
Promising review: “I have tried everything to get my nails to dry when I paint them at home. I’ve tried top coats, water bath with ice, and time (lots of time) waiting patiently for my nails to dry. And after several hours, my nail polish is always ruined. Today I tried the OPI Rapid Dry spray and my nails dried super quickly! I'm going on two hours after painting my nails, and I've been able to do dishes and laundry. My nails are still dry and look amazing. I highly recommend this product! Thanks OPI!!!!!” —April C.
Get it from Amazon for $11.39.
29. A NYX hydrating primer that'll help cut down your morning beauty routine. It's infused with hydrating rice and jojoba oils, so who needs to add a moisturizer?
30. A microfiber hair towel because air drying your hair shouldn't mean dealing with water streaming down your face and neck, dampening your dry work clothes. This super absorbent wrap will definitely cut down your hair-drying time!
Promising review: "I love this hair towel! It’s hard to find ones that have the scrunch to it. It really holds your hair in place. I have very long and thick hair, so normal hair turbans without the scrunch do nothing for me. This towel by Kitsch holds every inch of my hair with no problem and DOES NOT ride up!!!!! I love it, PERIOD! And I will be buying another one!!!" —Gia Denise
Get it from Amazon for $23 (available in nine colors/patterns).
31. A Remington tapered curling wand that heats up in 30 SECONDS to help you create tousled and lustrous waves.
Promising review: "I've never had a wand successfully work until this one. I recently got the cool girl haircut (medium lob), and this wand was an essential!! It smooths my hair as well. No frizz and lasting waves!! Very happy customer!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
32. A headband wig if you don't have the energy to turn your bad hair day around. This versatile, wavy 16-inch wig will make you feel like the boss you are.
Promising review: “This wig is awesome!!!! I feel like it's better than the more expensive (and supposedly better quality) wigs I bought from Dynasty Goddess and LuvMeHair! I am really impressed with this wig. The hair is soft (even though it tangles a bit; I run my fingers through it to detangle it so no biggie), I love the curls, and the strap under the wig is great because I need the additional support! I love it, love it, love it and would recommend it to anyone. I would buy it again and I most definitely will soon. Again I love it!” —Nikia Richmond
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
33. A four-sided leather cleaning brush you can pair with cleaning sprays or foams to get your shoes, coats, furniture, and more effortlessly clean. Each of the four sides of the brush provides a unique clean!
This brush has a welt surface, nylon bristles, an arched half circle brush, and a protruding brush that lets you clean different kinds of suede with no harsh rubbing or scrubbing required.
Promising review: "I was amazed. After spending about five minutes cleaning suede boots with fairly significant smudges, they came out almost completely clean and are looking really good." —Beth P.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
34. A blow-dryer holder because drying and styling your hair shouldn't feel like an Olympic sport. Easily mount this to your bathroom wall for a quicker, hands-free hair-drying experience.
Promising review: "I LOVE this hair-dryer holder. It used to take me 15 to 20 minutes to dry my hair in the morning. Now it takes me eight because I don't have to put my arms down to rest them anymore. I placed it high on my bathroom wall and tilted the arm down because I wanted to straighten my wavy hair. My hair was sleek and straight because I brushed it while drying, which was so much easier to do without holding the dryer. I'll tell all my friends about this!" —Jon Wagner
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
35. A plant-based, color-changing blush that reacts to your skin's pH level to create a natural-looking color. No need to waste time finding the perfect shade. It'll absorb super quickly into your skin so you'll have vibrant skin in no time!

Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glow-y color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer
Get it from Amazon and Youthforia for $36.
36. A pleated midi skirt if looking effortlessly cool is your M.O. This simple skirt will look great with a band tee and sneaks or a V-neck blouse and kitten heels. Gotta love versatility!
Promising review: "I wanted to love this skirt, and I DO! It's one of the most worn items in my closet, from winter time with sweaters to spring with beautiful blouses. The skirt is a nice heavy material that allows for beautiful hang and flow. It doesn't wrinkle and even packs beautifully without wrinkling. Will have to purchase this in additional colors!" —Cait
