    You’ll Wish You’d Bought These 39 Beauty And Skincare Products Forever Ago

    Well, there's no time like now. Go ahead and add these to your cart.

    1. A sheer and glossy Clinique lipstick in a deceptively named "black honey" color. This balm-like formula melts into your lips, offering you a unique-to-you shade. Plus, you'll be right on trend rocking this TikTok-famous lip!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This 'almost lipstick' is exactly that, and I am a big fan! The color just seems to accent my lips in a positive way, with just the right amount of color. I do add some clear lip gloss over top of it because I like a bit more shine, but that's a personal preference. It looks VERY dark in the tube, but it is not that way on my lips. I'm pretty amazed, quite honestly. It truly is 'as advertised.' I will buy it again without hesitation." —BAM

    Get it from Amazon for $25.

    2. A vegan and cruelty-free skin-tightening Sol de Janeiro body cream made with coconut and açai oil. Its caffeine-rich formula stimulates circulation to help you get smoother-looking skin.

    Promising review: "I could NOT believe how quickly I saw results after starting to use this on my dear old booty. The improvement was so noticeable I've also started to use it on my thighs as well, just to see if I can tighten up any of my cellulite-y bits there, too. But my butt looks amazing!" —Sara Fauth

    Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes).

    3. 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 the 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).

    4. 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: "I NEVER write reviews unless I either really love something or hate it, and I LOVE THIS MASCARA. I am a mascara fanatic; I buy mascara constantly, always trying to find the best one. So, this mascara is super cheap and the best one I've bought so far. This mascara doesn't clump (unless you don't know what you're doing), and it has great volume and thickness. You can use one coat to be subtle, or you can keep building it up. It also lasts all day. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS! It's a steal. Better than all the higher-end mascaras I've tried and the drugstore ones. I will most definitely be buying another one when my current one runs out." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    Check out BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd's in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review.

    5. An eyelash comb that'll help you de-clump your mascara and separate your eyelashes so you don't sacrifice your fierce lewk!

    Promising review: "No matter how good the brand/wand is, even a brand-new mascara will leave clumps behind. Once applied, mascara dries too fast. This tool easily glides through lashes to remove clumps." —John

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    6. And a magical mascara remover since it'll remove that stubborn (but admittedly long-lasting) waterproof mascara. It applies a liquid that melts away makeup while nourishing skin with camellia oil, almond oil, argan oil, and wild rose oil.

    And BuzzFeed writer Melanie Aman is in love with this thing:

    "This stuff is MAGICAL. I have stick-straight Asian lashes that refuse to hold a curl with wetter mascara formulas. As a result, I have to use waterproof mascara, which is a total pain to remove at night. Instead of rubbing my eyes raw with makeup removers that burn, I apply this like mascara, let it sit for a few minutes, and my waterproof mascara MELTS. Then I go in with a micellar water–soaked cotton pad and my mascara is gone in 1–2 passes."

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. It definitely does the trick, and it’s super portable." —Mbae

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    7. 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.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using cotton buds 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 $9.99

    8. A buildable E.l.f. Cosmetics brow gel for brows so voluminous you'll think you were born with them!

    a reviewer with full eyebrows
    another reviewer with filled in brows

    Promising review: "This is hands down the best brow stuff out there. I don't know what sorcery is in it, but it's magical! It's sort of sheer, but it also dries down like a hair gel; it 'sets' your brows in addition to shading them. You can load it up and fill in where you're a bit sparse and then feather it out just to keep it all even after it sets a bit. I buy this stuff six at a time because I'm terrified E.l.f. will discontinue it. It really is an amazing product, and it lasts until you wash it off." —ShopTeacher

    Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in two colors).

    9. 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 so you'll have vibrant skin in no time!

    Youthforia is a woman-owned small business aiming to make makeup that's not only good for your skin but is also not bad for you to sleep in! The founder, Fiona Co Chan, even tested the blush by sleeping in it for two months! They are passionate about being environmentally friendly and reducing their use of fossil fuels.

    Promising review: "Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup, and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy 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 for her. The texture was smooth, and it was easy to rub in and blend out." —Summer

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 and Youthforia for $36.

    10. A skin-evening eyeshadow primer because you didn't perfect your pink-to-orange ombré and cat-eye eyeliner for it to melt before the whole world could see it! This clear, waterproof primer will have you thanking it later.

    Promising review: "This product is magical. I have very oily skin that tends to mess with my makeup as a whole. I have hooded eyes and a little extra skin. This is all perfect for mascara on eye socket bone, shifting shadows, and terrible eyeliner — this fixes it all. It holds my eyeshadow in place, no mascara gets on the bone, and eyeliner stays on all day. It's so great. For reference, I have tried all the drugstore options plus Urban Decay. Highly recommend and will be repurchasing." —TheGooGooMuck

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    11. A revitalizing hair protein treatment for conditioning and repairing dry, damaged, and over-processed hair. TBH I'm already obsessed with your hair evolution!

    image of reviewer with healthy and shiny curly hair

    Promising review: "If you suffer from dry and damaged hair, this is a must! I usually don't write reviews. Honestly, I don't write them at all, but I just wanted to let you know that this product is worth it. I've had dry and damaged hair for years due to coloring, weather, and bad care. I saw a post about this product and decided to give it a try. This is my second day using it, and I see a huge difference! My hair is so soft, and the ends feel healthy. It doesn't feel like I'm touching hay anymore. This is a must! I washed my hair with shampoo and conditioner, dried it with a towel, and waited about 5–10 minutes before putting the product. Let the product do its magic for about 25 minutes, then wash it and let it air dry. I strongly recommend buying this!" —Diego Jimenez

    Get it from Amazon for $8.45.

    12. A plant-based face serum that blends vitamin C with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, witch hazel, and jojoba oil to help brighten your skin so you can light up every room you enter.

    Promising review: "I am prone to the rare chin breakout during that time of the month. After reading so many reviews, I gave this a shot, and I'm very glad I did. My skin has cleared up considerably in the three months I've been using this product. I put it on every morning under my makeup, after my shower, and again before bed. WOW, my skin looks so great! The texture is smoother, I have even less small acne than before, and overall, I see a marked improvement in my complexion. Love this stuff and will continue to buy it over and over each time the bottle runs out." —C. Morris

    Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes).

    13. A Sol de Janeiro hair and body fragrance mist whose notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla will have you (and those close enough to you to smell you) reminiscing about fall — no matter the season.

    Promising reviews: "I came across this scent on TikTok and had to try it for myself, and I LOVE IT." —Ayonna M.

    "It smells fresh and clean. Exactly what I was looking for. I bought some expensive Dolce perfume, but this body mist is stepping on necks. TRUST ME. No need to layer this scent unless you want to." —Noel

    Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in six scents).

    14. Paula's Choice BHA liquid exfoliant if you're sensitive to scents but want to gently 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 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 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 awful pores and am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flakey skin. I have sensitive skin, so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use. So far, the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this, I literally watched my pores get cleaned out, and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all, I think. It seems like it will also last a while because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth. I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" —Diane Delfino

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50

    16. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that may help remove dark spots and fine lines. Reviewers say it makes their skin glow!

    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 $16.

    17. A skin-smoothing polar bear hydrating eye stick for help 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. This has really changed that 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 $9.90

    18. 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 $9.99 (available in three color combinations).

    19. A lightweight E.l.f. putty primer infused with squalane to help minimize pores and moisturize your skin. This vegan formula will grip your makeup so it doesn't slip and slide all day long.

    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 $10.

    20. 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 kept one on my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom every day." —Jennifer Helseth

    Get it from Amazon for $9.86.

    21. A cute detangling brush for gliding through wet or dry hair, removing knots as it goes. Whether you need it for you or your little one, it'll get the job done without so much as a single "ouch."

    reviewer holding the turquoise detangling brush
    reviewer with detangled type 4 hair

    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 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 from 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 $11.98 (available in 10 colors).

    22. A set of multipurpose dermaplaning razors if you're looking to exfoliate your skin while getting rid of peach fuzz. 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 don't normally write reviews, but this product deserves a special shout-out! I've tried other products to remove the peach fuzz on my face, and nothing works like this. My face is baby-soft! 10/10 recommend!" —Laura

    23. An anti-bacterial butt acne-clearing lotion made with tea tree oil to help prevent breakouts. Truly have a bottom as smooth as, well, a baby's bottom.

    Promising review: "This product is gentle on the skin but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps like a rash or breakout can form in sensitive areas. I've been using this product once a day after showering, and I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works." —Billie B

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99

    24. 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 the top of my thighs for as long as I can remember. I've used this with an exfoliating sponge TWICE, and they are noticeably smaller, and my arms actually feel smoother!! I'm sure as I continue to use it, they will be gone completely. I rarely write reviews, but I 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.

    25. 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

    26. Hydrocolloid acne patches for when a popped pimple refuses to simmer down. Wear one of these overnight and wake up to find that your acne gunk has been absorbed by the patch.

    Promising review: "I wasn't sure if this was going to hold up to its promise...but it did! I used this on a massive zit growing on my nose, making me look like Rudolph. The first night, it took down the swelling a bit and lessened the redness. On day two, it was significantly smaller in width and circumference! If that doesn't help you decide to purchase this, nothing will." —Cassee Colson

    28. 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 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.

    29. A box of pore-tightening face masks because their 8-in-1 treatment will leave your skin visibly hydrated, bright, and lifted. You just need to get through the 15 minutes of looking a little like a zombie. But it's worth it!

    Promising review: "I'm 27, and this is my second time purchasing these masks. I use these about once every other week or so. I have seen drastic improvements in my skin. After one use, my skin was not nearly as dry and flaky. My face seemed a lot more supple and plump as well. After continued use, I noticed that the fine lines on my forehead were less noticeable, and the overall texture of my skin was smoother. I also noticed I don't look as tired even though I'm exhausted lol. My uneven skin tone has improved, and my face has brightened. I live and work in the city, and I think you can tell by my skin appearance, but after using these, my skin looks fresh and soft and has a nice glow to it even after one use. I will continue to keep these masks stocked in my vanity." —Rachel

    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).

    Just make sure to use sunscreen with this since it can make you a bit more sensitive to the sun.

    Promising review: "Bio-Oil is the BEST skin product on the market. I use it twice a day — in the morning and before I go to bed. Small lines have disappeared. My skin is very smooth and seems to glow. A doctor recommended this to one of my friends, who told me about it. I have bought several bottles as gifts. Be patient. It will take a few months for you to see the changes. I am 71 years old. No one paid me to write this." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times, and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb: a small callus. I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! Bought the invisible strips, and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn't believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!" —Audrey N.

    Promising review: "Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I've had little success with anything topical that will provide relief to my irritated skin. My sister recommended it to me when I was looking for a moisturizer after a severe sunburn that left my nose blistered and raw. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon, my face was almost completely healed. The cream prevented peeling and helped clear up my rosacea skin irritation! I'm completely amazed! I've applied less than a dime size over my face four times! My skin has truly never felt better! It's got to be witchcraft because not even the different RXs I've tried over the years have produced these results. *I will note there was a very mild sting that lasted a couple of seconds when initially applied, but that was likely due to the raw skin. It was completely bearable." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in two sizes).

    35. A daily moisturizing cream with shea butter that'll lock in moisture and vitamin E oil that may help encourage hair growth. Dull and brittle hair? Not here!

    Promising review: "This stuff is the holy grail of moisturizers. The smell is lovely, not too strong, or fruity, or overpowering. This is the first moisturizer I’ve EVER used that keeps my hair supple and soft for days. Before my hair would feel brittle after a few hours and I’d have to apply twice a day. With this stuff, I don’t even have to put it in every day, even though I do. I absolutely love the way it’s made a difference in my hair. I have natural short 4c hair." —Kasie

I heard about this from a dermatologist's YouTube channel and decided to give it a go. Wow, am I glad I did. Believe me when I say you will not recognize yourself in the morning! It was like my skin transformed overnight. It was smooth and poreless; scarring had almost disappeared, and any sign of redness was gone. This was after one night! My coworkers mentioned I looked like I was glowing! I wash my face and apply two separate layers with clean hands to my face and neck. The smell is tolerable, and the cream itself is extremely rich, so I only wear it at night. You may feel like a greaseball, but the results are worth it. I have not had a breakout since using this, and if anything, it gets rid of blemishes faster. Absolutely floored <3" —Robert F. Young

    Promising review: "Love themmm!!! Soft and silky. I purchased these for my natural 4a hair. These pillowcases are way better than a silk scarf. When I wake up, I fluff my hair out with my fingers, and that’s it! Before these pillowcases, my hair would be flat and stay flat." —Julia

    38. An invisible acne spot treatment that not only goes on clear but can also be worn under makeup. Because it contains lemon oil, orange oil, grapefruit oil, salicylic acid, and tea tree oil, this treatment won't dry your skin out as it works to heal it.

    Promising review: "I love how moisturizing this cream is while also being exceptionally successful at minimizing or completely clearing up my non-cystic pimples and acne. It smells great, too, if you love tea tree. It's like gold for my acne. I can't recommend it enough!" —Sierra Robinson

    39. A lightweight leave-in conditioning spray made with coconut and argan oil to help those with frizzy, dry, and damaged hair repair and nourish their locks, so they’ll dry lusciously soft. Because it locks in hydration and locks out humidity, frizz will be a thing of the past!

    Promising review: "I have lived in Florida for the past 19 years and pretty much tried every anti-frizz product on the market to no avail. I really gave up entirely until my friend recommended I try this product. WOW, it actually works. I can't believe under Florida 90% humidity conditions my hair is not frizzy for the first time in 19 years. I no longer look like I was dragged through a rain forest. THIS PRODUCT IS A MIRACLE. Simply amazed." —The Shrike
