As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post.

Psst — Amazon has a whole section of "Hot New Releases" for up and coming products that reviewers are already starting to buzz about! Here are the best ones you can snap up right now:

1. Moroccanoil's Mini Must-Haves Sampler, a $32 value and an UPGRADE (!) from last year's totally sold out version that is every bit as affordable and includes even *more* product samples to love. Reviewers especially appreciate these teensy versions for traveling in ~luxury~ on the cheap, and for trying these beloved splurge-worthy products without committing to the full price first! 

www.amazon.com

Each set has a sample size of Moroccanoil Treatment, Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, All-in-One Leave-in Conditioner, Mending Infusion, and Shower Gel.

Promising review: "I bought this set to see what all the hype was about, and I'm so glad I did! Every product smells amazing without being overpowering, and my hair felt noticeably softer, shinier, and much less frizzy after just a few uses. The travel sizes are perfect for vacations, the gym, or trying the line before committing to full-size products. Everything feels high quality, and a little goes a long way. This would also make a great gift. I'll definitely be purchasing the full-size versions of my favorites!" —Mary 

Price: $15 

2. A set of Summer Fridays Sweet Minis with *exclusive* flavors you won't be able to buy anywhere else, including Berry Sorbet, Peach Granita, and Sea Salt Caramel. 😋😋😋 When the holy grail lippie of lippies comes out with a set this cute and delicious, the vibe is run, do not walk!! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Love the Summer Fridays minis — they’re perfect to throw in your bag for on the go!!! The colors are amazing, and they smell so good." —Lovello

Price: $22 

3. A reviewer-beloved, slow-rising "butter" squishy, because when you're reeeeally stressed out, squeezing the light out of this thing will make you feel butter about it. 

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the butter squishyin action. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this butter stick squishy! The soft texture and slow-rising design make it incredibly satisfying to squeeze and play with. It’s perfect for relieving stress during busy workdays and keeps my hands occupied while I focus. The bright yellow color is cute and cheerful, and it has held up well with regular use. It also makes a great desk toy, party favor, or small gift for kids and adults alike. A fun, calming, and high-quality squishy that I highly recommend!" —Milagros Lopez

Price: $7.99+(available in a two-pack and in gold) 

4. Jergens Shea Fusion Confetti Cake Body Lotion, a limited edition (!!) launch that basically said, "Hey, what if we made a mega-hydrating blend of shea butter and vitamin E and then TURNED IT INTO A BIRTHDAY PARTY??" This scent combo of buttery cake, vanilla buttercream, and sprinkles is so delectable that one reviewer compared the scent to the $105 Yum Boujee Marshmallow perfume by Kayali. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This lotion smells so good! It truly gives me confetti cake vibes with vanilla icing on top. I was hesitant to buy this lotion because I am usually an EOS girl, but I couldn't resist trying this confetti cake scent. I am very impressed with this lotion. It is moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy. The formula is thick and creamy, which makes application a breeze. Jergens needs to reconsider making this a permanent scent! It has made me want to try the other Jergens scents." —amber

Price: $7.49 

5. A pair of travel-friendly pull-on barrel pantsreviewers compare to the $249 Roti "On The Loose" barrel pants for a mere fraction of the price. These are straight-up so cozy you'll be like, "Is it legal for something to be this comfortable and this chic??" The answer is yes. The answer is RUN to "add to cart." 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have to thank all the Amazon customers who have written precise, accurate details on these pants. You guys are the reason I pulled the trigger, after so many failed purchases/returns of similar pants products from other vendors. It has been a totally frustrating experience. These are the closest pants to the Ruti 'On the Loose' barrel pant. Quality is so good, and fit is spectacular. I almost cried for joy when I put these pants on and looked in the mirror. Better than I ever could have imagined. And that is saying a lot, as I just had abdominal surgery six days ago — which means a lot of swelling to boot. Do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed." —Brenda Shuey 

Price: $32.98 

6. Kitsch's newlymphatic contour face brushwill be the perfect alternative to the harder metal and glass gua sha version for anyone who wants a softer but still effective tool for lymphatic drainage and facial massaging. The bristles on this are tough enough to get the job done, but still feel smoother on your skin. 

Amazon

Check out all of Kitsch's new releaseson their Amazon storefront! 

Price: $9.99

7. A set of wireless touchscreen (!!) earbudsfor anyone else out there like me, a person who hates trying to figure out the ~iNtUiTivEeeEe~ way earbuds are supposed to work. This touchscreen lets you adjust the volume, switch tracks, answer calls, locate the earbuds, and select listening modes between noise-canceling for listening to music and "clear calls" for improving voice clarity on the phone. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Fun extra feature — you can even use these as a remote clicker for your camera!! 

Promising review: "These earbuds are a great buy. The sound is crisp, the fit is comfy even after hours, and the battery life is really impressive. Super easy to pair, and the call quality is solid. The noise cancellation is amazing." —Kelley Hadley 

Price: $16.99

8. E.l.f. Skin Glass Slick Serum Stick similar to the $29 Milk Makeup Watermelon Jelly Brightening Stick — this blend of peptides is formulated to help plump skin over time, smooth skin texture, and soften the appearance of fine lines. Plus, this lil' stick is perfect for sliding into your bag so you'll have it on hand if there's a hydration crisis. (WINTER IS COMING!!) 

Amazon

Promising review: "I have sensitive skin, so I am always nervous awaiting the reaction I’ll experience from a new product. I have been SO happy with this!! It glides on like butter. It doesn’t take much at all to hydrate your skin. I love to use it in the mornings when I don’t feel like doing my whole skincare routine. I’ll just slap this on my face, and I’m good to go for the day, haha. My skin feels moisturized for like 8+ hours when I use it. I don’t notice a scent, or I’ve just never sniffed for one lol. I have bought one that stays at work as well because the work air just makes my skin feel dry. And this serum stick makes my skin instantly feel sooo much better and revived. Overall, 10 out of freaking 10." —Mackenzie 

Price: $11.97 

9. A Ninja Blast Max Portable Blender in a new ~blue raspberry~ color that reviewers are in love with because of how easily it fits into their busy lifestyles. This holds a charge, so it can blend literally anywhere, and the blender easily detaches from the base as a portable cup so you can take your smoothie on the go! 

Amazon

Promising review: "GAME CHANGER!! I absolutely LOVE my portable blender! In the morning, it makes excellent protein smoothies, and after work, my 7 p.m. cocktail has just hit a new level!! It’s so easy to clean. The different speeds work for my different uses, wink-wink. The size is perfect for two frozen daiquiris and a great amount for my morning protein shake. It is very high quality. The price is fantastic for all the things you can use this for — mini bar, camping — since it is portable. It lasts a couple of uses on one charge. It is very easy to use. One touch while I walk to the car, and it’s blended! GREAT PRODUCT, so glad I bought it!" —dcmurphy1515

Price:$69.99+(available in 11 colors) 

10. Eucerin Radiant Tone Dark Spot Corrector Body Creamis already making waves among reviewers because it includes thiamidol, a skincare ingredient that blocks tyrosinase, a melanin-producing enzyme that can cause dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tones. One reviewer noted that long-term use of this was so effective that they were buying bottles of it internationallybefore it finally hit Amazon! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

You can check out the rest ofEucerin's Radiant Tone collectionon Amazon! 

Promising review: "This is the first product out of many I've tried that actually works in lightening dark spots. I have used it for six weeks, and there is a significant and definite lightening of spots and evening of skin tone. Also, it's soothing, really easily spreadable, and has a very light, clean fragrance, barely detectable. Retinol doesn't even come close and is much more expensive. I recommend Eucerin Radiant Tone cream without reservation." —Theo A. 

Price: $22.94 

11. A set ofLego Botanicals rocking plants, aka the wacky little cousins of the OG "happy plants" Lego botanicalseveryone loves putting on their bookshelves or their desks at work. This is the ultimate mood-boosting fidget for anyone who needs an extra reason to smile on a gray morning! 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It is so cute. Lego always impresses me with its quality of builds. I have the blue and yellow plant friends; it’s fun to have the matching pair of green and pink. It was a quick build. I like having it on my coffee table for guests or myself to fidget with, because they both rock — one goes side to side, and the other is front/back." —Julie

Price: $22.95 

12. A 4-inch back relief memory foam topper made with a breathable gel and a textured surface designed to lessen pressure on your joints so you wake up a whole lot less 🫠 and a whole lot more. 🥰

Price:$59.99(available in sizes Twin–King and four styles) 

13. Grace & Stella's new ~brightening~ eye patches for dark circles, aka the latest innovation from the company that made one of the most cult-favorite, ridiculously beloved under-eye masks on TikTok and Amazon.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These eye patches feel very refreshing and hydrating. They help reduce puffiness and make my under-eye area look brighter after use. They stay in place well and are comfortable to wear. Great addition to my skincare routine!" —Kseniia

Price: $24.95 for a pack of 24 

14. Glamnetic's new press-on nails the ultimate in deep, glimmering, mesmerizing manicures. These are designed to be SO ridiculously easy to apply and remove with their gentle (TikTok-viral!) nail glue removerthat you'll wonder why you ever stepped into a salon in the first place — especially because these cuties are reusable! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. I work with boilers, so I am rough with my hands and these last. Also, if I happen to pop one off, I can pop another back on in seconds. The glue is very strong, and they come off so easily with the same brand removal oil. They are so quick to put on, I get a beautiful set of nails in under 15 minutes. Great value for the money. I like the thickness as they are not bulky, but definitely not thin. The color is stunning! I have purchased about seven different sets, as well as the toenails. Highly recommend." —Lynn

Price:$19.99 (available in dozens of other styles for fall and Halloween!)

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Of all the nail polishes I’ve used, this brand is the best. No base or top coats, just flawless, shiny finishes. One coat sheer color, two coats for more depth, or add a third for extra oomph. And it has staying power. Worth every penny. I’m looking for ease and beauty. This is it." —Gail E. Boynton

Price: $20

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I got this dress for a wedding, and it was perfect! Absolutely stunning fit and design, and I got so many compliments! I am 5"3' and was worried about the length, but it was perfect. I ordered a medium, and it was super comfortable and had good stretch, but also hugged my figure perfectly. I also LOVE the neckline! Highly recommend!" —Kaila Overstreet Theising

Price: $39.99(available in women's sizes XS–XL and nine colors)

www.instagram.com, Amazon

Promising review: "The texture is thick! But it’s a good thick. These feel so smooth on the lips and are very glossy. Currently my favorite E.l.f. lip product, over the Glow Reviver Oil. Smell is not overwhelming and neither is taste. I came back to order them all." —Khloe3

Price: $7.97 (available in three flavors) 

22. A "Turbo Grill Deluxe" microwave grillfor when you're craving something on the grill but you're not craving the outside world + prep work + clean-up + every single one of your neighbors knowing exactly what you're eating for dinner when it wafts through the air. This gizmo heats up to 750 degrees F to sear, brown, and even create real grill marks on your grub for that perfect "crispy outside, juicy inside" bite! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was honestly super impressed with this. The key is to actually follow the quick-start instructions: pat your food dry, preheat the grill, and don’t overload it. I started with chicken, and it came out juicy with really nice browning on the outside, and it was incredibly fast and easy. Fish has also come out great. Cleanup is simple, too. It’s not going to replace an outdoor grill, but for something you can use right in the microwave, the results are pretty amazing. Once you understand how to use it, it’s one of those products you keep reaching for because it’s so convenient. Absolutely love my Rocket Chef!" —Chucolate

Price: $49.99

Price: $59.99

25. A basic ribbed form-fitting long-sleeve top so affordable you're going to want it in eeeeevery color before the temps drop — this is one of those "holy grail of layering" types of tops.

It has two different shelving units with a total of four (FOUR!!) slide-out shelves that perfectly fit around the sink drain and give tidy little homes to your cleaning sprays, dish cloths, and that oven cleaner you *swore* you were gonna use on your day off (but oops, there's still caked-on cheese evvvvvverywhere). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These organizer racks are awesome, and you can adjust the height of them. It just makes it so much easier to get in and out from underneath the sinks." —Careful shopper

Price: $7 (available in seven shades) 

28. A set of two darling rainbow-flecked dish drying matsto add a subtle, dainty pop of cheerfulness to your counters. This is also heat-resistant for kitchen tools and pots and pans, and can work as a coffee machine mat! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I really love this silicone drying mat. The size is perfect for my kitchen counter, and the wavy design not only looks cute but also helps keep dishes elevated so water can drain and air can flow underneath. The material feels thick and high quality, not flimsy at all. The design is honestly one of my favorite things about it. The wavy pattern looks so adorable, and the ivory color is beautiful, soft, and elegant. It matches my kitchen perfectly and makes my countertop look more organized and cozy. It’s also very easy to clean, just rinse it or wipe it down, and it looks new again." —Nutella Z

Amazon

Promising review: "I love these. I bought the two darkest colors, Desert Sculpt and Chestnut Sculpt, since I am light olive. I have read some other reviews about not being buildable/layered with other colors, but I don't think this is meant to be layered. This is a one-stop shop smoky eye look. I am sure you can build/layer a little, but I wanted a one-color smoky eye, and I got it. I have her color pots, so I wanted her stick to try. Thinking about getting another color, but I really wanted a semi-matte, so these two colors really work for me. Very creamy and very easy to blend. Colors are beautiful." —MS

Price: $32 (available in five shimmering shades and five matte ones) 

30. Ninja's Crispi DualZone Glass Countertop Air Fryermade with *TWO* glass compartments so you can air fry two items for your meal and spy on them both at the same time. Extra bonus? You can pop the glass cookers out of the air fryer and serve directly from them, and store the leftovers in the fridge. Go, little glass cookers, goooooo! 

Amazon

Promising review: "We’ve been using this every day for a week. It is easy to use and cooks food up nicely. Love the glass so you can see what’s being cooked. If you open the drawer during cook time to check on or turn something, it stops briefly, then when you push it back in, it will restart where it left off. The control buttons are self-explanatory. So far so good. We upgraded from our old Ninja model and really appreciate having more capacity to cook more food and to be able to cook two things at once. There’s a setting where you can have them ready at the same time, which is another nice feature. The glass is easier to clean as well. It was well worth the upgrade for us. We can make foods with no oil or butter that will still be moist and juicy." —Darling Dumpling
