Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist.

Promising review: "I bought these for a business trip, and they have held up surprisingly well! I have owned these for about two months, and they still look great! They are exactly as pictured and look like they should be much more expensive than they actually are! They’re slightly padded inside, and I have worn these through airports on two separate trips and to walk around in a city on different occasions, and they have been more comfortable than I expected them to be! I even walked outside in the rain, and they still held up nicely. They stay on my feet well and fit true to size. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase." —Rachel A.

Get them from Amazon for $36.98 (available in women's sizes 6–10 and in 18 colors and prints).

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

My colleague Emma Lord has this ring! Here's her review:

"TBH, I bought this ring after seeing it blow up on TikTok, and I love it. I wear it every single day, and I've gotten SO many compliments on it — friends are always stunned when I tell them how cheap it is! I've been wearing it for months now without any wear and tear that a quick cleaning won't fix. Pictures don't do it justice; it really does ✨gleam✨ like real jewels. (Bonus: I use this as a fake wedding ring when I travel to encourage humans to leave me alone, lolololol.)"

Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available in three plate colors and women's sizes 5–10). 

12. And on the subject of expensive-looking jewelry, a tennis bracelet for rocking a pretty piece of wrist candy bound to make everyone around you so very jelly. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% similar to Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

Get it from Amazon for $21.45+ (available in three colors, two styles, and three sizes). 

13. A crochet cover-up that's bound to make you feel like you walked right off the runway at a fashion show and right on over to the beach/pool. Will it be socially acceptable to wear this as like...a sweater when the summer ends? Asking for a friend.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "A must-have! This cover-up is perfect! The sleeve length is dreamy. Truly, I've been looking for a cover-up like this since my teens, and nothing was ever just right. If you're on the fence, just do it! The material feels nice. It is a smidge heavy to me, but it will be perfect for the evenings around the pool or on the beach." —Keirstin

Get it from Amazon for $28.88+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 30 styles). 

14. A ridiculously soft throw blanket you're gonna want to snuggle up with ALL. THE. TIME. Reviewers love this because it's similar to the popular Barefoot Dreams blanket at a fraction of the cost! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am already obsessed with this blanket. It's large and feels exactly like Barefoot Dreams. The only major difference between them is that my Barefoot Dreams one is a bit thicker, but honestly, that's not a bad thing. It's double-sided and large, so it makes up for it. I got the blue color and I'm so happy. I need to get all the colors. JUST BUY IT." —Teresa Staker

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

15. An overnight lip mask trio designed to help hydrate and nourish your kisser overnight so it feels nice and soft when you wake up. Reviewers love that these are similar to the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and come with THREE masks for a fraction of the cost of one mask.

www.amazon.com

For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams, for the entire set. So, even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! 

Promising review: "[Alternative] for the Laneige lip mask. This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya

Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six scent combinations).

Plus, it looks a little like having your own stained glass window, creating a beautiful rainbow effect on sunny days. So many reasons to buy this, so just do it already!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love this! TikTok made me buy it for my sunroof, and I'm so glad I did! It's so beautiful when the sun comes through! And you get so much for the price!! If you're on the fence, buy it!!" —Ashley Ann

22. A faux suede pouf that makes for a lovely decorative piece in your home, a comfy little floor cushion, AND an excellent footrest when you want to truly kick your feet up and relax. As if that wasn't enough, it's ALSO a storage bag to keep things like towels, blankets, and toys stuffed away neatly and easily. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: “I live in a one-bedroom apartment, and there isn’t a lot of storage. I have wanted a pouf, but I couldn’t justify the expense. Then I read an article about poufs that you can stuff pillows, blankets, etc., in. I went on Amazon, and I found these beauties. They look great and can store a lot of pillows, bedspreads, blankets, etc. I do mean a lot. They are soft but firm to sit on. I also use them to stand on to reach objects on the top of my bookcase. I highly recommend them!” —Julie Brum

Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in five colors).

23. A set of decorative wall mirrors, because devoting a wall in your home to some seriously luxe-looking mirrors so you can look at your luxe-looking self in adoration is what it's all about, baby. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Lots of compliments! I bought these to decorate my cubicle at work and always receive tons of compliments from coworkers. They are made of plastic, which is nice for hanging in my cubicle, but they still look expensive. I love these!" —MP

Get a set of three from Amazon for $15.99 (available in five colors).

24. A pair of braided heel sandals ready to be your showstopping plus-one at brunch and dinner dates with the besties, warm weather weddings, or even strutting around the office. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These shoes are great! I'm not one to wear heels, but I needed them for a formal dinner in Nashville. I made it all night without breaking them in. I didn't get blisters, and my feet didn't hurt. They were true to size. Highly recommend." —Brooke A

Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 19 colors and women's sizes 5–11, as well as wide options).

25. A seal-tight glass storage container perfect for holding leftovers or transporting lunches to work. It's basically been scientifically proven that eating out of an aesthetic container makes you less likely to run out and buy an overpriced chopped salad. 

Amazon

The jars are BPA-free, as well as microwave and dishwasher-safe.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says: "Before working from home became the norm, I would use these handy jars to bring my lunch almost every day. They're perfect for things like fruit, salad, or something saucy — stuff you really don't want to get squished *and* want to ensure doesn't leak into your bag. *But* I have found that I use them just as much at home full-time! They are, of course, great for leftovers but also for prepped ingredients for the week. Shredded cheese, prepped chicken, and chopped veggies usually live in these, ready to be utilized for a quick lunch or snack. They clean *super* well — I even have the cream color and it recovered from storing beets! 10/10 from me."

Get them from Amazon for $25+ each (available in two sizes and six colors).

26. A rotating cosmetic organizer, because news flash: Keeping all your makeup products stashed in the corner of your bathroom counter isn't the aesthetic you think it is. It's actually not any sort of aesthetic. Give your beauty items a spot of their own in this chic piece! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "First, this is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, which is great! The spin is smooth, and [this organizer] cleared the counter space I needed back! Perfect for my skincare items, perfumes, cotton rounds, and cotton swabs!" —Rae Myers

Get it from Amazon for $12.99.

27. A pair of round sunglasses that'll make you feel like the coolest person ever (which you are), but sometimes you just need a luxe-like pair of sunnies to really help drive that point home. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I actually bought these sunglasses right before a trip to Los Angeles two summers ago, and I absolutely ADORE them. I was looking for a pair that felt really trendy and just had ~cool vibes~, and this 110% fit the bill and was even better in person. I'm someone who is constantly losing my sunglasses (and unfortunately, I did lose these shortly after coming home from my trip), but thanks to their inexpensive price point, I wasn't too worried and absolutely plan to buy another pair of these for the summer!

Promising review: "For the money, you can’t beat 'em! These look amazing on my face, like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried several pairs, and this brand looks and feels comparable to a pair of Ray-Bans and Pradas. I have a smaller face, and to me, this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier; I just wish there were six stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes they do." —Christina

Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in six colors).
