Promising review: "Beautiful brushes. For newbies, it includes a diagram explaining what which brush is for. Even after washing, I haven't seen any bristles fall out. The bristles are so soft and silky. Blends your makeup flawlessly and seem to be well-made and sturdy. The handles are not flimsy. Buy these brushes, they are worth well over the price." —Ashley

Promising review: "I found this product through a BuzzFeed article for those with frizzy hair and THIS PRODUCT DID NOT DISAPPOINT PEOPLE! I put this serum through the ringer; I got this to stand up to Bay Area fog AND the nasty, humid heat wave we got a couple weeks ago. No frizz, no extra curls. Nothing! On top of that, it made my hair super glossy. I'm very impressed. Heads up though, a little goes a long way." —Amazon Customer

Read our full review of this gel-effect top coat!
Promising review: "I had weekly manicures for YEARS...it's overwhelming to think about how much money I have spent...until one day I started doing my nails myself. This polish goes on nicely and stays put for a good week. I like the brush, hard to explain, but the brush makes it easier to apply. And I don't have to soak nails in acetone to get it off, this comes off with regular nail polish remover. Overall, I save a lot of money doing my own nails and they still look great since the polish is so high quality. Honestly, I don't think I can tell the difference anymore — this gives a professional manicure!" —skatz

These actually block out harmful UV rays!
Promising review: "I absolutely love these glasses! They aren't too big where they are overpowering and they flatter every head shape. I love them because they never get stuck in my hair and the metal earpieces fit perfectly and comfortably around my ears. Also, they actually to a great job blocking out the sun compared to most stylish sunglasses. These are the perfect glasses to make every outfit look amazing, keep in the car, or wear everyday! Definitely my favorite sunglasses!!" —Sam Saile

Promising review: "I don't even know where to begin with these. They are the most comfortable pants I've ever worn. They hold their shape throughout the day, come in a vibrant variety of colors, they don't fade, they are 100% squat-proof, and they are unbelievably soft. My biggest pet peeve with leggings is having to pull them up constantly, and that is not a problem with these. Though I originally bought them for exercise, they work well as lounge pants, too. They are on the thicker side, so I wouldn't wear these on a run outside in the heat, but they are great for my indoor gym year-round." —Alison

Promising review: "I never write reviews for things, but this mascara was just so great I felt like I had to! I love lashes, and my friends are used to me wearing thick coats of mascara at all times. Despite this, I got complimented on my lashes basically every time I wore this mascara this week. Multiple people even asked if I had extensions! This mascara isn't clumpy at all and makes your lashes super long and defined without sticking them together. I've never had any problems with flaking, and although it isn't waterproof, I've definitely used eyedrops, shed a tear, and gotten stuck in rain without them smudging or running down my face. All in all, this is my new holy grail mascara, and I'm thrilled!!" —Sophie Johnson

Promising review: "I just got my new business cards at work and wanted something pretty and memorable to pull out whenever I give someone a card. This is perfect. I looked at a lot of crystal-decorated metal cases (too much bling) and some leather (not enough bling), and I'm so glad I went for this one." —Chloe

Promising review: "I have always suffered from bad odor on my underarms. Since I have very delicate skin, I can't use strongly scented deodorants. I'm always trying out cream deodorant or gels, but it either irritates my skin or it doesn't stop my bad odor. THIS IS THE BEST INVENTION EVER. I LOVE IT! I can't believe that something finally works! My armpits don't smell bad; I can finally move my arms freely. The scent is wonderful, I love the smell and it is not harsh on my skin. Even after a long day, my underarms are still smelling like coconut." —Patricia

Promising review: "I have thick curly coarse hair, if I don’t brush my hair almost immediately out of the shower, my hair becomes a tattered mess and it’s just knots city. This brush, OMG, this brush....it’s my savior! It glides through my hair with ease and tackles those potential knots like nothing. The rose gold color is an added bonus but the way the brush does is job is what is awesome!" —Bonnie B

This 22-ounce bottle is made of BPA-free plastic.
Promising review: "Great little guy to have in your water bottle arsenal! It's lightweight with a nice grippy side. My favorite part is the size. While it doesn't fit in traditional water bottle sleeves on the side of a backpack, the shorter, slimmer design makes it perfect for a messenger bag or a purse. It sits flat and doesn't roll around like a traditional bottle. Plus, I like that you can see the bottom to make sure it's clean!" —CharlieW

Promising review: "I purchased this suit last year after reading a BuzzFeed article about it. I figure now is a great time to let anyone know who is on the fence about purchasing this bikini — you won't regret ordering it. I've had it over a year and it's not only held up well, but it's adorable and comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on this suit. I like that it's cute but feels good to wear — no need to constantly pull anything down or un-bunch anything ever." —Lydia Feuerstein

Promising review: "This makeup bag is so simple yet so genius! I don’t even know where to begin. I have A LOT of makeup, so whenever I buy new things, I take them out of my drawers and put them into a makeup bag to use them. I had been searching for makeup bag options as the tiny regular ones just don’t cut it for me, my regular day-to-day makeup bag has A LOT of products in it.
Enter this bad boy. When I saw this bag, I knew it was the solution I never knew I needed. I always make a mess when I’m doing my makeup: I take everything out in an attempt to find that tiny eyeliner I need and leave the house with a mess in my bathroom. With this bag, you have everything laid out in front of you and accessible to grab, it’s also HUGE so you can fit a lot of stuff in there; I have about three to four options of every makeup item I use (three highlighters, three mascaras, setting spray and primer, etc.), and when it’s time to boogie, I just pull on the strings and it’s closed, baby! No mess. Also, the fox design is super cute so that’s a plus. 10/10 would recommend." —Maria Sandoval

Promising review: "These are amazing! I loved the smell and it will last! They fizz up really well and the ball with the ring pops right up. The rings were also nice, they both were appraised at $15. I have also had no issues with either ring changing my finger colors, as this normally would happen with cheap jewelry." —Haye_Life
