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.

1. A set ofKatsushika Hokusai Band-Aidsfeaturing the iconic works from the famed Japanese artist — these Band-Aids are part of a collaboration with The Met, so now whenever you get an "ouchie," you can be a walking museum for everyone around you. 

Amazon

Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat that likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

Price: $6.29 for a set of 50 

2. Kitsch's Scalp Renewal Brush will be a shower must-have for anyone with build-up and oiliness, or anyone whose scalp could use an exfoliating, invigorating ~refresh~ to help encourage growth. This works as both an exfoliating comb and scalp brush, and is a great option for dandruff removal! One reviewer said this made them replace their Wet Brush for good! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody who has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

Price: $11.99 (available in four colors)

3. E.l.f. Skin Thirst Burst Lip Treatment, a new lippie that basically hit the scene like, "MOVE OVER, Summer Fridays." Not only does this have hydrating relief for dry lips and a plumping 1% Peptide Complex, but it's a fraction of the $24 cost for the Summer Fridays version, and comes in decadent flavors like Guava, Blue Hibiscus, and Pomelo.

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: $5.97

4. 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 bought this soft toy to use on the desk, and I really like it. The material is soft, pleasant to the touch, and slowly recovers its shape after being tightened, which makes it very entertaining. The butter-like design is original and draws attention. It is comfortable to use, has no strong smell, and feels good quality. I use it to relax while I work or when I need to distract myself for a moment." —Camilo Hernández Almenares

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

5. A wonderfully supportive one-piece bathing suit with cheeky mesh detailing and adjustable ties that will make you the most chic person frolicking on the beach. One reviewer said they loved this suit wayyyy more than the $100+ Miraclesuits they tried, and another called it "magic!"  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Popilush is a small business that specializes in activewear and shapewear. 

Promising review: "This bathing suit made me feel so good and secure! It has great support and flexibility to style it to fit your body. I'm a size 12 and ordered an extra large, which I think was a perfect fit, especially if you have a larger chest." —Emily Kightlinger 

Price: $39.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and seven colors) 

6. Dr Teal's "Strawberry Serenade" Epsom salt magnesium soak, a ~limited edition~ blend of strawberry, basil, and orange that has already captured reviewers' hearts and bath time rituals — one even said this scent was so nostalgic it felt like "being transported back in time." If you loved the "Hawaiian Bliss"soak that blew up last year, this newer scent is a must-try! 

Amazon

Promising review: "A great magnesium soak, very affordable, and amazing, incredible scent! It is so uplifting and vibrant — it should not be a special edition but a regular product offering! Bravo!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $5.87 

7. A disco-inspired tissue holder, because if you're congested, you might as well be glamorous about it. This is the perfect way to jazz up your work desk or vanity with a sweet, sparkly touch! 

Amazon

Promising review: "I get so many compliments when people see this on my desk! What a fun addition. It shines brilliantly on the walls when sunlight hits it! So fun. I am gonna get the smaller version for my coworker for Christmas." —Gunsaw

Price: $6.99+ (available in two styles and two sizes)

8. EOS "Coconut Waters" Cashmere Body Wash so moisturizing, gentle, and decadently scented that you're going to feel fully transported to your ~happy place~ every time you lather it on. This is yet another variant of the TikTok-beloved Vanilla Cashmere body wash, but this time with a summer-y, beach-y twist that will make you smell like an all-inclusive vacation for less than $10. 

Amazon

Promising review: "The scent smells AMAZING and fills up the whole bathroom while I shower. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and moisturized afterward instead of dry or tight like some body washes do. This body wash is a thick, creamy gel and lathers easily, and the scent actually lasts on my skin for a long time after showering, which I love. I also have pretty sensitive skin and usually react to heavily scented products, but this one hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me personally. Overall, I think it's a great product if you want something moisturizing with a strong, cozy scent that actually lasts." —paige elissa

Price: $9.98(available in seven other scents) 

9. Laneige's new Flush Pop Peptide Lip Gloss Treatment, a ~cooling~ lip gel that will plump and volumize your lips while helping enhance their natural color. It will also support your skin barrier and hydration, making it yet another winning lip care designed as a fun lippie, aka Laneige's calling card. 

Amazon

Price: $23 

10. Medicube PDRN Caffeine Collagen Eye Patchesthat your under-eyes will be SOOOO happy you bought for them. This legendary K-beauty brand is known for its affordable, ridiculously effective skincare products, so it's no wonder that this newer offering already has reviewers raving about how well this winning combo of caffeine, PDRN, and collagen helps reduce puffiness and restore some ~glow~. 

Amazon

Promising review: "These gel eye patches have quickly become a staple in my routine, and for good reason — they deliver fantastic results. I've struggled with the appearance of dark circles and general puffiness, especially on days when I don't get enough sleep. After just a few uses of these patches, I've noticed a significant improvement. My under-eye area looks brighter, more hydrated, and much less tired. They're so easy to use and feel incredibly refreshing, especially if I pop them in the fridge for a few minutes before applying. Five stars without a doubt — they've truly made a visible difference for me!" —Shana Daniels Gardner

Price: $21.90 for 30 pairs 

11. Pantene's Sunkiss Glow Multitasking Spray, your absolute summer MVP for UV hair protection — this lightweight spray will help reduce color fade, prevent damage from salt and chlorine, and reduce frizz. But what reviewers can't stop raving about is the delectable coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood scent, which one reviewer says"smells like the beach in a bottle," and another says it will be a staple for their beach bag!

Promising review: "This is such a great idea to have for hair during the summer or even living in a warmer climate. I put it in mine and my three girls' hair today before the pool, and hair felt great after washing. Highly recommend." —Alyssa Speaker

Price: $9.99 

12. A pair of oh-so-nostalgic jelly flats that compare to the $580 The Row version (and $65 Dolce Vita version) without breaking the bank. Bonus: reviewers already mention how comfy these are for walking, which is no surprise, since the Amazon brand Cushionaire is known for its *ridiculously* comfy shoes! 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Psst — reviewers say to size up one size! 

Promising review: "Cute, good quality, comfortable. Just size up one size." —Osaris R. 

Price:$34.98 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and three colors) 

13. Mario Badescu Advanced Peptide PDRN Jelly Cream your skin will want to *drink*, thanks to its hydrating and balancing blend of peptides, niacinamide, and sodium hyaluronate. One reviewer called out that it's a "much better price point" than Glow Recipe's PDRN products, which range $30+. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this jelly cream. My skin looks amazing — no more chafing and peeling, and it feels and looks 'bouncy' and glowing, it’s hard to explain. As for people saying it’s sticky — they must be using way too much!! It dries beautifully, not sticky. A little goes A LONG way. This little tub should last a year or more easily. I use it under my Tret at night too. Love it!" —Beachy1

Price:$17

14. The Pink Stuff's newSqueezable Miracle Cleaning Paste, which is already living up to its name and then some — this all-purpose, "tough on grime, gentle on surfaces" cleaner is perfect for everything from dirty stove tops to grimy sinks to caked-over ovens to lost cause shower doors. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge type cleaning pad were the only thing that worked transforming this very dirty tub into cleaner than clean. Very little muscle power necessary. A little goes a long way. It takes off the worst of things and leaves a kind of ceramic coat behind. It’s amazing." —Glinda

Price: $5.97

15. Covergirl's Jelly Water Tintfor a fresh, "watery" pop of color on your lips and cheeks that will look raindrop level of dewy, but *won't* transfer like your usual makeup. Reviewers are already in love with how lightweight they feel, how long they last, and how many gorgeous colors you can choose from. It's giving Benetint, without the $25 price tag. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great lip tint that's buildable. It dries soft to the touch with no transfer. Lasts hours! Can be drying on the lips, so I put a lip oil on top of this lip tint — the tint doesn't budge or smear away. I'm buying more of these!" —Abelle

Price: $8.49 (available in six shades) 

16. Maybelline's truly holy grail Brow Inserts Eyebrow Pen to make your brow sculpting look so realistic that you won't believe you just made a few quick swipes to make it happen. This smudgeproof, dual-sided pen has one side for a micro-needle-shaped pen for hair strokes and another with a hair-like fiber gel to subtly tint the brow and blend it all together. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "I’ve tried expensive ones from Sephora, but this one outperforms them all. The precision actually mimics real hair. This is officially my new holy grail. Maybelline never fails. Best drugstore brand, period." —CaliConsumer

Amazon

Kuumba Made is a small business that specializes in luxury scents at affordable price points. 

Promising review: "This has become my favorite scent! It goes on with a coconut/vanilla scent that turns into a soft musky sweet sandalwood/amber scent. It’s a thicker oil consistency that lasts. I got the small roller bottle that is perfect to keep in my purse and for traveling. I’ll definitely buy again!" —Roberts0816

Price: $12.49+ (available in two sizes — check out other scents on Kuumba Made's landing page!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very cute print. It fit perfectly to the sizes indicated. Material was great as it wasn’t too heavy yet wasn’t too sheer. I wore this on an island vacation and got a lot of compliments." —Monique D. 

Price: $39.99 (available in women's sizes XL–5XL and 28 styles). 

19. Londontown's Glow Getter Nail Luminizer,a hybrid nail treatment and gorgeous sheer polish hybrid that will let you take care of your nails in the chicest way possible. This is an excellent compromise for anyone who wants to keep their nails looking lovely without the upkeep of an entire manicure — this doesn't require a base or a top coat, and gives off a subtle, radiant gleam. 

Amazon

Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. 

Promising review: "I like a one-and-done nail product that will protect my fragile nails, but also stay put. I don’t baby my nails at all, so I like something that doesn’t show wear quickly. I’m not sure what’s in this one specifically, but it stays on so well. It’s also a nice micro shimmer/glitter. I’ve used a few other polishes from this brand, and while they are all nice, this is my favorite so far." —H. Peeples 

Price: $20 

20. An absolutely darrrrling bear-shaped pet hair removeryou can keep in your car or in your living room for quick touch-ups after your furry friend leaves a trail behind them. These come with a compartment to clean out the roller and use it again, so they're way more cost-effective than regular sticky rollers! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the Chom Chom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. Best I can describe, the Chom Chom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

Price: $9.99for a set of two 

21. McCormick Zesty Lemon Finishing Saltfor anyone who wants to take their pasta, grilled veggies, salmon, and chicken to culinary heights they never dared dream of before. You deserve the unexpected zesty, flavorful crrooonnnch of lemon salt brightening up your day!! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Love this lemon salt. It tastes great on avocado toast. I’ve also added it to chicken piccata." —Amazon Customer

Price: $3.47

22. Clio Kill Lash Superproof Mascara, yet another K-beauty product that will take your makeup routine to the next level. This waterproof, sweatproof lengthening formula is designed with a curved brush to give straight lashes an extra-long, volumized curl for that perfect pop! effect — one that actually lasts instead of immediately falling. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Kill Lash Superproof mascara from Clio for a few months now, and it’s honestly the best mascara I’ve tried. For context, I have straight lashes and deep-set, hooded eyes, so most mascaras either won’t hold a curl or end up smudging under my eyes after a few hours. Even tubing mascaras, which I’ve had some success with, don’t really keep my lashes lifted and tend to come off too easily. This one is completely different. It actually holds the curl I put in at the start of the day and keeps it there. I’ve worn it for 12+ hours, and my lashes still looked lifted, which is something I’m just not used to. Normally, my lashes drop within 30 minutes, no matter what I do." —Cirecy

Psst — BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lillysays this is so smudgeproof that it's a little hard to get off, so you might want to invest in the Kill Lash Mascara Remover, too! 

Price: $14.90 

23. A pair of high-quality, affordable gold-plated wavy huggie hoops for a subtle little twist on a classic earring to make a sophisticated look feel a little more "you." Yet another great spin on a classic from beloved Amazon jewelry brand Pavoi! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my "daily wear" jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it (particularly thisgold-plated ring and these chunky gold-plated earrings!). Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelryfor more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets! 

Promising review: "These earrings are the perfect size and look for everyday and also dressing up. I packed these for a recent resort trip with my husband’s company, and they were perfect for plane travel, wearing with swimsuits, and dressing up for fancy restaurants. The price is really great for such high quality. The earrings didn’t tarnish from pool, shower, or ocean water. The clasp has never come undone." —Reilly S. Leonard 

Price: $13.95 (available in two finishes) 

24. A self-locking shoe washing machine bagthat will help your kicks stay safe in the wash and stop that awful CLUNKITY CLUNK CLUNK noise that sounds like you're trying to commit a murder mid-laundry cycle. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This set of shoe washing bags turned out much better than I expected. The material is thick, so the shoes don't move around, and the soft inserts provide a truly deep clean from all sides. I especially liked the self-locking zipper, which prevents anything from opening during the wash cycle or getting tangled with other items. I tried washing sneakers and lightweight trainers both times. The results were excellent, leaving the shoes looking like new. After drying, the bags retained their shape and looked like new, so they'll definitely last a long time. A great accessory that saves time and takes care of your shoes." —Amazon Customer

Price: $19.99 (available in five colors) 

25. A Dolly Parton pink guitar sponge so darn cute it'll inspire you to get to the dishes even after a long of working ~9 to 5~.

Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed with this dress! [It's] comfy and easy to wear. The material feels lightweight but not cheap, and the pockets are a huge bonus. I love the classic striped look with the pop of green collar, it gives sporty chic vibes. Perfect for running errands, brunch, or casual days when you still want to look put together. True to size and so cute!" —Mustoe-Gallups

Price: $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 13 styles).

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Another great Disney Mystery Coloring book. The spaces in this book are larger than in some of the others in the series, but they make for amazing pictures when they're completed. I've been using Languo acrylic pensto complete mine. I love how the images come together and how detailed they are. I've included pictures of all of the images included in the book." —Matt Hamblin
