Amazon

Promising review: "I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven’t taken them off since I received them; they still look brand new. I’ve worn them in the shower, pools, and at the beach and they are still perfect." —Allison Kwong

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three finishes and 14 other styles). 

2. A square-neck cami reviewers *love* for the buttery soft, double-layered fabric, saying it feels like the high-end, expensive brands. Plus, that Y2K energy is always welcome for those summer 'fits.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I don’t usually leave reviews, but no joke, the best fitting and most comfortable tank top I’ve ever owned!! The material smooths and snatches you in so well, and as a girl who can never go braless, I was able to do that in this top. Literally just ordered it in three more colors." —jaden charney

Get it from Amazon for $19.16+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 24 colors)

3. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that'll have you looking absolutely sophisticated *and* staying comfy at the same time. Reviewers *love* how the material is just as soft as the trendy Skims version... and some even say it's better!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down.

Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." —Kaitlyn

"This was purchased to add to my summer dresses. I recently bought one in brown and loved it. So I had to get it in this purple /lavender color. Material's just as good and thick, all while being form-fitting and going to my ankles. It's still breathable, and I could move around without worrying about anything coming loose. I love that even though it was a lighter color, you couldn't see what I was wearing underneath. Perfect. I receive compliments all the time in this dress, even from toddlers. They even know a great look when they see it. Haha. 😊" —Roxi Roxx

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and eight colors).

4. Slingback heels, which blend comfort and elegance in the most gorgeous way. Their timeless style might just make them one of your most-used pairs — they'll take you from your daily office routine to casual lunch dates to evening drinks. They also give *major* Chanel vibes.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — it looked perfect with jeans too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet that are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" —Mrs.D

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in six colors).

5. Or some breathable pointed-toe flats ready to keep your feet cushioned and decked out in style. They look and feel as high-quality as Rothy's or Vivaia, without having to spend the extra $70–$100. The stretchy knit upper is comfy and trendy-looking (office days just got a whole lot better!) and you can toss 'em in the wash before they even have the *chance* to get stinky.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I have several pair of Rothy’s in a very similar style to these, and they are actually just as comfortable right out of the box as Rothy’s…maybe more so. I also purchased in black. LOVE THEM!!" —Amazon Customer

"I couldn’t be happier with these flats! As a result of them dropping in price, I purchased four pairs in varying colors to wear with jeans and sweaters. Not only do they look cute, but they are also decently padded and comfortable. I have been buying Vivaia flats for over $100 and these look just as good and are more comfortable to wear." —PSK

Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in women's sizes 6–10 and 14 colors and patterns).

6. A basic long-sleeve shirt, aka a super classic staple. It's clean-cut, versatile, and just what you need if it's too warm for a jacket but the nights remain chilly.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m absolutely delighted with this long-sleeve top! The fit is impeccable, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own. The material is soft and offers just the right amount of stretch. It’s become a staple piece in my wardrobe because of its versatility — it pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans, skirts, and even office wear for a touch of modernity. After several washes, it maintains its shape and vibrant color. It’s rare to find such a quality top at this price point. This top has exceeded my expectations and has been a fantastic addition to my collection." —Alaina Yvonne

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in 21 colors).

7. A set of beautiful pearl hair clips for when you feel like you're having a bad hair day and just want to put your hair up in a hurry. This lets you do just that, but in a very ~pretty~ way. Plus, they come in a variety styles and sizes!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

I have been using this lip oil for two months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences! 

Promising review: "I love K-beauty and this is one of my favorite lip oils. It makes my lips softer and looking like cherry plump. Plus, this shade acts as a lip tint, and I like how long it stays on my lips. As first, I thought that the bottle seems small but after applying 2-3 times/day for a month I still have a lot left to use. It moisturizes your lips and leaves a red tint on your lips, and it's lasted very long!" —Nhu

Get it from Amazon for $9.50 (available in 11 colors, two sizes, and in sets).

9. Or Nyx's Fat Oil Lip Drip, which might just kick that $40 Dior lip oil out of your cart for good. It's enriched with vegan squalane, raspberry, and cloudberry oils to deliver a surge of deep moisture for the soft, supple lips of your dreams — and all while delivering some serious shimmer! And? IT'S UNDER $10. Sold.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the Nyx Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lip gloss. It’s always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." —Jennifer

Plus, reviewers say they look just like the ones from Bottega Veneta!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Love these so so much. I wanted the chic Bottega Veneta designer pair, but these look exactly like those for less than $20. Deal of the century. They are comfortable and extremely well made and I seriously can’t get over the price. I’m thinking about buying another color because I love them so much." —Kam

"Literal wow. These are incredibly nice glasses — not cheap at all and very well made. The material is thick and of obvious quality. Buying these for gifts is awesome." —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 14 lens colors). 

11. A long-sleeve bodysuit because it's basically saying "Look at me! Look at me!" before you pull the trigger on that Skims bodysuit. The "Smoke Cloud" fabric is buttery smooth and *not* sheer, and the sweetheart neckline will add a little extra charm to your ensemble even if it's being paired with your fave faded jeans.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My fave Skims [alternative]. I love this brand; their bodysuits are so soft and buttery, and they wash well. You can pair easily with jeans, sweatpants, or joggers — super cute!" —RK

"Love this bodysuit; it's so soft and fits great. It's very similar to the Lululemon bodysuit that sells for $90. What a steal!" —Katy B

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 10 colors).

Glossier

Promising review: "I used traditional powder blushes daily up until purchasing this product. My skin is super dry and I didn't know I could have such a natural blush look until Cloud Paint! It really is easy to blend and builds up in color without much effort. The packaging is beautiful and is the perfect size to take anywhere with you. Please never stop making this blush!!!" —:~)

Get it from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in sizes S–3X and 36 colors)

16. An eyebrow soap kit that's dying to make your acquaintance if you want Anastasia-level results at a drugstore price. This helps you sculpt your brows so they have the exact shape, volume, and texture you want for those trendy, fluffy brows in just minutes. Reviewers rave about how well they stay in place, even after hours!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing, but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I’ve used nearly every product from Anastasia Beverly Hills, but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." —Bailey M, Deacon

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in a one- or two-piece set).

17. A bottle of Glossier's Perfecting Skin Tint because it blends so effortlessly into your skin, it'll be like snapping your fingers and having a light, natural-looking filter pop onto your face. It's designed to even out discoloration and give you a dewy, skin-like finish without being as heavy (or annoying) as a traditional foundation.

Glossier

Promising review: "I have always stayed away from foundation because I could never get the color right, it was thick, felt gross on my skin, then would look too heavy. THIS IS AMAZING! I will forever purchase this. It’s light, smooth, and matches my skin. It doesn’t cake into my fine lines and makes my skin look perfect. It’s creamy and soft and moisturizes my skin without it feeling sticky." —Ot

Get it from Glossier for $28 (available in 12 shades).

18. Or a L'Oreal glow-enhancing lotion — a reviewer-fave swap for pricier options like Glossier Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Drops. It'll have you looking glowy, sun-kissed, and ready for that lunchtime walk you planned your whole day around. The glycerin and shea butter in it also give it a mega hydrating factor. It's a lotion, glowy foundation base, and highlighter all in one bottle.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Wear it alone or as a base for your makeup! Check out this TikTok to see how it looks being applied!

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this product. I have fair skin but I use the deep shade anyway and it makes me look like I have a glowing tan. I get compliments every time I wear it. It is sparkly but subtle. If you don’t have time for a full face of makeup, this really pulls it together with just this one product — the sparkle adds a highlight effect and the tone warms up my complexion. Of course you can wear it as part of full makeup too. I will never go without this product again! Please make it forever!" —Elana

Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in six colors).

19. A Revlon hot-air brush that'll save you more than double the time it takes you to style your hair with a traditional blowdryer and round brush. This magical tool will give you soft, smooth waves with just a few passes!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years and I couldn’t be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blow outs! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. Only caveat I have come across so far: the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" —ERJ

Get it from Amazon for $29.49.

20. A set of hair spin pins, which do the work of 20 bobby pins and help you create a quick and easy updo for those busy mornings when you're on your way out and just need your hair OUT of your face.

www.amazon.com

To use, just gather your hair and twist it into a tight bun (no hair tie needed!), tuck in the ends, and spin the pins into the edges of your bun.

Promising review: "When even a ponytail won't do and a hat isn't socially acceptable, pull out the spin pins. These are easy to carry in your purse for emergency hair days. They twist together/around each other so they stay kind of bundled together, and I keep them with several regular bobby pins to keep stray hairs tucked together. I find the minis are far more comfortable to wear as well as easier to get in the hair. You will still need a few pins to secure some random loose hairs if a PERFECT bun is your goal. But if you are like me and most days you just need your hair out of your face and off your neck-these are excellent since the bun stays put. Works beautifully under scrub caps as well." —Blondiechick

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.71 (also available as a two-pack).

21. A CZ tennis bracelet, because a small, twinkly accessory can add an upscale factor to any outfit. And just look at that Swarovski-like sparkle it gives off (no one would ever know that it's actually cubic zirconia).

Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty, it's 100% a Swarovski lookalike for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

Check it out on TikTok.

Promising reviews: "I'll admit, I was totally skeptical of these Huesticks. I am 34-years-old, of Sri Lankan descent (medium to deep tan skin) and I've NEVER been good at makeup. I was excited to try these Huesticks, made by and vouched for by a fellow South Asian, but was worried it would look like I was ACTUALLY wearing makeup. I was pleasantly surprised after using Rise under my eyes and around my mouth, blending with a BeautyBlender and then using my same amount of cc cream and powder foundation. You really still can't tell I'm wearing makeup. I even asked my BF if he could see the orange 'glow' under my eyes before I put on the cc cream and he couldn't see it! It really was color correcting!" —Reviewer

Get it from Ulta for $26 (available in four shades).

23. A popular long-lasting eyeliner stamp so that the nemesis of your makeup routine is no longer such a hard step.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.

The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty. 

Promising review: "I have very minimal makeup skills. I’m a loner, mascara and gloss kinda girl. I’ve been wanting to do a wing for so long, but with my limited makeup application talent and hooded eyes, it just wasn’t happening. This product changed the game. After trying out the placement a few times, I got it down pat. I love how I can get different looked depending on where I place the wing. I’m beyond satisfied." —Michelle Hopson

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack). 

24. A benzene-free mattifying dry shampoo powder if you just DON'T have time (or energy) for an "everything" shower. This is infused with biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder and comes with a conveniently attached puff so that you can dab, dab, dab away all that excess oil and grease to instantly add some volume back into your hair.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Okay, this is an honest review. I was SUPER skeptical because I've always been a spray dry shampoo girly, and I thought I was going to die on that hill. We've all been there... in a pinch and out of our dry shampoo and resorted to random powders and suffered the consequences and had to end up washing out hair while already running late. I have super fine hair, and it gets oily in the blink of an eye — even six hours post-shower. I tried this product skeptically, but I am impressed! Literally three dabs and my hair is happy, shiny, and volumized as if I just used a blow dryer! No drowning myself in a Batiste cloud! I'm adding this to my routine forever." —Chloe Plummer

Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades). 

25. An air-dry leave-in cream to banish frizz and transform your curls into silky, irresistible locks. The best part? You don't even need a blow-dryer (or any heat-styling tools for that matter)! This cream works its magic as your hair air dries.

www.amazon.com

This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!! 

Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews for products, let alone add a photo of the results, but my gosh this product is AMAZING. The was just after my first use and I got immediate, satisfying results! Normally, I’d have to take a wand or curling iron to get this effect, but literally all I had to do with this product was take a shower and scrunch it into my hair, and just let it air dry. Not only did my natural waves come out, but my hair feels so soft and looks healthy. This product is also very cost effective! Highly recommend!" —Carmina

Get it from Amazon for $8.47 (also available as a two-pack).

I like pulling it up a little bit and having the top area loose. It doesn't slide off the shoulder but if you want it to, it could. I love everything about this item! It is cute, comfy, great fitting, and a staple for my summer!" —amela

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I don't have very long or thick lashes and I suck with makeup. I was never able to wear false lashes outside the house. Ever. And this was not my first time trying magnetic lashes. But these ones were so, SO easy to put on. The liner is very liquid so it was easy for me to apply and fill in. I used the last set from the natural lashes side for the look in the pics." —Mona

I wore it to a few work meetings with black pants, and it is very classy and put-together looking. It is a bit more expensive than I would have liked, but it is worth it. I bought the black and tan — very chic!" —Beaulilie24
