    28 TikTok Products Under $20 If You Need A Little Pick-Me-Up

    You deserve a little something.

    1. A copy of Burn After Writing because this guided journal has prompts to encourage you to spend less time scrolling on your phone and to instead do some self-reflection (and it has over 60,000 5-star ratings). 

    Some prompts include summarizing relationships with certain people in your life with just one word, trivia facts about your life, and top five lists about your fave things. 

    Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it. I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable to different things in your life. I love what it stands for and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done. Self love, self care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow is always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things different. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value. Choose you for a change." —Brent Helm

    Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" —Amazon Customer 🌷

    Check out a TikTok of the light saber chopsticks in action. 

    Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord had to say: "As you can see from the above GIF, I bought these for myself, and I love them to pieces. TBH, I use them as decor every bit as much as I use them to eat. Sometimes I just keep them in my work area to light them up during the day to feel fancy. They toggle back and forth between a bunch of different colors, like red, blue, yellow, purple, and multicolor, so you can either make them match *or* have a red and blue one together and bring ~balance~ to the Force."

    Promising review: "The chopsticks are very durable, and the glow is bright. They're a bit bigger that I expected — but very pleased nonetheless with the product because it serves the purpose and is entertaining for kids, right up to adult Star Wars nerds. It also made the perfect gift for my fellow Star Wars nerds. I've been too busy playing with them rather than using them to eat food — but hopefully that will eventually happen before the batteries need changing." —Anthony

    4. A super cute mini waffle maker that comes in so many fun colors so you can make perfect waffles at home. And, you can also use this to make paninis, pizza, biscuits and more! Waffle whatever you want — I won't judge!

    Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and had to get it! I love waffles but I don't always remember to buy them so I love being able to make them super easily with this mini waffle maker. It's so easy and convenient for me because I didn't want anything that would take up too much time and space. It's perfect. I also used the waffle recipe provided by Dash and its great!" —Ken

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 20 colors).

    5. A six-piece set of long-lasting matte lipsticks at a steal. Reviewers are raving that they are wayyyy better than more expensive brands. Despite being cheaper, these won't leave your lips feelings dried or cracked.

    Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason this lipstick is better than even $20 name brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire

    Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    Promising review: "I am a person who will make myself sick eating buckets of popcorn (I have no self control). This has by far been my favorite 'TikTok made me buy' item. My at-home popcorn is now my favorite thing to make and I don't need to go the theater for popcorn. Very much worth the purchase and this will last me such a long time." —S Martinez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.25.

    8. smudge-proof eyeliner stamp if you just don't have the energy to attempt to get the perfect cat-eye. This stamp makes it super easy to get the winged eyeliner look. It has two sides — one with a stamp and the other with a liquid eyeliner pen.

    Check out a TikTok of the foaming mask in action.

    Promising review: "I love this stuff! I received some for a gift and then purchased it for my daughter from Amazon. It feels like a clay mask going on, and then starts bubbling and turns to a thinner substance when it's done. I feel like it is very gentle on my face. My skin feels amazing after I wash it off. It feels like I used moisturizer, even though I did not. I hear that these masks are very popular in Japan." —L. Shea

    Get it from Amazon for $11.

    10. heatless curling rod headband so you don't have to use a curling iron or spend forever trying to curl your hair. All you have to do is wrap your hair before bed and you'll wake up to luxurious waves and spirals.

    Reviewer with the headband woven into their hair
    Reviewer with curly hair

    Each set comes with a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. These work best if you roll them with damp hair.

    Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors). 

    If you already have curls/coils and want a heat-free styler, check out these foam curling rods ($14.99 on Amazon) that reviewers with everything from 3a–4c hair love.

    11. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment if your hair needs some TLC. This repairing mask, an Olaplex dupe, is infused with collagen and protein extracts to help your hair look and feel healthier. Just apply it to wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, and the rinse it out. 

    Reviewer with curly hair holding a strand of it out

    This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them.

    Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and in between other compares products that were four times the price, I decided to bite the bullet and buy this — let me tell you, best decision ever! I shampooed my hair, then heavily massaged this in, from ends to scalp. The carton says 5–20 minutes... But I ended up leaving it in for two days! And after washing it out, my hair was so shiny, bouncy and CURLY! My curl recovery journey has been long, but this has helped restore so much vibrance and shape to my hair. My mom has been stealing it from my bathroom every couple of days, after having similar results on her hair. Going to need to buy a few more to ward her off." —curlyhead3

    12. A pair of horizontal glasses so you can watch TV or read a book without getting up. These mirrored glasses make your screen or book visible even if you're lying down. 

    Promising review: "I saw these on a couple of TikTok videos and immediately bought them. They are literally the best thing I’ve ever bought. I was scared they wouldn't fit over my glasses but they do just fine. I use them to read, watch TV, and scroll through my social media all while lying down. Such a great buy!" —Kivy

    Get them from Amazon for $11.88

    13. A super cute magnetic key holder to hold your keys so you'll never lose them again. This key holder won't ~cloud~ your day and will add something whimsical to your wall. 

    Promising review: "So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys and so far it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." —D. Carter

    14. slushy-making cup so you can easily make a quick, sweet treat whenever you need one. You can just stay in your PJs and save a trip to 7-Eleven. All you have to do is freeze the cup for a few hours, pour in any cold drink, and squeeze the sides until a slush forms.

    Promising review: "I'll start by saying that this is so stinking cute! I love it and I mostly bought it for that reason. No shame in admitting that. However, that being said, it works well too! It does not feel cheap and seems to have been made pretty well. It was a great purchase in my book." —Jesica

    Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (available in three colors and a three-pack).

    16. A bottle of Drop It, a natural wine sulfite and tannin reducer, so you can enjoy a glass with fewer sulfites to avoid that post-wine headache or allergic reactions. This works in just 20 seconds so you can get to sipping without having to use time-consuming or more expensive options like wine wands and filters.

    Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, it works great so far." —MarMarManuel

    "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

They're done in about 30–40 seconds with literally no clean up.
