You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips.

Promising review: "I loved this stuff; it was magic. The evening moisturizer was fabulous. It is the first plumper that actually works for me. Will be buying more for gifts!!!!!" —Alexandra

Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

2. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil you apply like a clear coat of polish to help your nails get all the cuticle-softening, nail-strengthening nourishment they've been craving.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month, with me religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement, so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out, and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 

3. Plus, a nail strengthening cream if you hate deciding between eye-popping manicure prices or sporting short, brittle nails that are constantly chipping. Fortunately, there's a third option! This non-greasy formula is packed with calcium, moisturizing oils, and vitamins to strengthen nails and condition cuticles. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My nails were in bad shape before I started using this product. I had one nail that would constantly split on the side, but not anymore. I saw the difference right away after using this product. The smell is great; it is a good moisturizer for your cuticles and contains wonderful ingredients. I definitely recommend it, and I will be purchasing another really soon." —Tasha Stewart

Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in two scents and unscented). 

4. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because traditional strips are tough to use, expensive, and can leave you with teeth sensitivity that is, in my professional opinion, NO fun. With this pen you can get quick results. And the best part? No lingering sensitivity. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

Bek O'Connell / BuzzFeed

Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."

Promising review: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product; it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." —Therese-Claire

Get it from Amazon for $8.45.

6. A hydrating snail mucin repairing essence for soothing *all* skin types (reviewers love how gentle it is) with the potential to help heal acne scars, fade dark spots, and smooth fine lines...all for under $20!! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My skin dries out severely during the winter, and I have to constantly use Vaseline to keep it moisturized (normal cream doesn't work on me). Imagine my surprise when my SO tried to put snail goo on me. Eww!! I resisted for weeks refusing to use this product as she constantly vouched for its abilities. After a month, I finally gave in, and boy, it was amazing! My hands feel more moisturized than ever for longer, and it doesn't leave a disgusting, greasy feel like Vaseline. Take it from a once-nonbeliever: You have to try this. Even if it doesn't work for you, you paid a fraction of what you would've paid for any other name-brand moisturizers." —Kyoko Ozaki

Get it from Amazon for $16.98. 

7. Some dark spot corrector soap bars that are packed with all the skin-loving good stuff (vitamin C, turmeric, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and MORE) to help even out skin and diminish dark spots wherever they pop up. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I'm usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." —Adrienne Jerkins

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The set comes with two double-ended pens. Each pen has one side with the wing stamp and the other with a traditional liquid eyeliner tip.

Promising review: "I suck at doing a winged eye. I have tried over and over again, but I just can't do it. I was skeptical, but I wanted to try something. It worked perfectly. One side is the stamp; the other is a liner — there are two tubes, one for each eye. Totally worth it if you are very bad at applying eyeliner." —marcusgolf

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

9. A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick if your puffy, aching eyes feel like cinderblocks in the morning because they're so heavy.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two other formulas). 

10. Or a fragrance-free CeraVe eye cream because you saw that Michael CeraVe Super Bowl ad and wanna know what all the hullabaloo is about.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Out of the hundreds of products I've bought, I've written maybe five reviews. Most of those were bad reviews. 😅 THIS review is like the 10 gold stars of reviews. I LOVE THIS EYE CREAM! I have a pretty nasty bag under only one of my eyes. Within four days, that bag is GONE! I don't know how, but it is. The area around my eyes is softer than it's ever been. Even makeup looks amazing now. It no longer settles in those pesky fine lines. I wish I could find a cream that made my entire face this soft. I microneedle, I've done TCA peels, I'm obsessed with Korean skincare, but NOTHING has ever given me such results as this eye cream. The area around my eyes feels like silk. BUY THIS EYE CREAM! You won't be disappointed." —Emily Hunter

Get it from Amazon for $14.44.

11. A fragrance-free texturizing powder for adding some heatless *oomph* to fine hair that usually likes to do one thing and one thing only...lie flat. Simply massage this translucent powder into your roots to enjoy hours of texture and va-va-volume.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used almost every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" —Melanie Havert

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

13. A gluten- and cruelty-free lengthening mascara if you're tired of getting excited about mascaras that never live up to their promises. This one is different — or at least according to the 247,000+ 5-star ratings.

Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd (pictured above) can attest to this mascara's yop-tier status: 

 "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes, and I'm terrible at applying them), this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes without the discomfort."

Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad I could shake my head, and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." —Moo Moo

Get it from Amazon for $15.88.

17. An illuminating nail concealer that'll make it look like you just walked out of the salon when we both know this DIY mani took a whole lot less effort, time, and money. Coat nails with this semi-sheer, buildable color to easily mask any imperfections, yellowing, and uneven discoloration. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "As a 62-year-old woman who gardens, cleans house, etc., I needed something that improved the look of my nails without looking cheap or crappy. This was more than I wanted to spend on nail polish...but totally worth it. Two coats showed NO ridges and looked better than natural nails without looking fake or cheap. Totally worth it!" —Unbiased Independent Reviewer

Note: This product has newer packaging that you might receive instead of the older bottle shown above!

Promising reviews: "Literally works like magic. One of my cheek piercings was on the verge of infection and extremely irritated; this helped within a few days! No more crusties or itchiness. I use it every day now to keep all of my piercings clean." —Kason 

"I’ve been using this hypochlorous acid spray morning, night, and after the gym, and I’m honestly amazed by the results! Since I started using it, I haven’t had any breakouts, and my skin feels so much clearer and calmer. It’s gentle but effective, and I love how refreshing it feels. It’s also great for post-workout, keeping my skin clean and refreshed after sweating. This has definitely become a staple in my skincare routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin’s clarity and health!" —Amazon Customer

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Right out of the box, I could tell these mitts were going to be exactly what I needed. Excellent quality and easy to use! I've tried them twice, and my skin is now incredibly smooth! After I scrubbed my arm, I looked at the mitt and saw it was covered with dead skin cells. I'll be buying more of these as gifts for girlfriends (in a fun spa gift basket)!" —Danielle

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors and multipacks).

20. A paraben-free self-tanner because you still want that on-demand, sun-kissed glow even when the sun is nowhere to be found. You can expect results in just one hour! The mousse texture applies evenly and doesn't have that *distinct* smell you've likely experienced with other sunless tanners. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!" —Review Writer 

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in 13 shades).

21. A box of Mighty Patch pimple patches containing hydrocolloid so you can stop that zit dead in its tracks with gunk-absorbing powers that speed up the pimple healing process. The sticker format can also help prevent you from habitual picking or popping.

Promising review: "I've used this specific brand for years now and have found them to be the best at reducing the size and redness of breakouts! Whenever I notice a zit popping up, I put one of these on right before bed, and it stays put all night, even when I toss and turn a lot. By morning, it's much less noticeable and practically nonexistent when I cover the zit with makeup. It's such a great practically zero-effort way to treat blemishes!" —Ciera Velarde, former BuzzFeed editor

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." —Jack Sawyer

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These work really well and are very easy to wash and use. I would recommend them if you do a lot of eye makeup and don't have like 40 brushes. Makes one set of eye brushes a viable option for a look." —Elizabeth P.

Promising review: "I was skeptical because I have always struggled with removing waterproof mascara 100% on the first wash/wipe. I applied it to both my lashes and immediately washed my face with my normal cleanser, and I felt nothing on my lashes! Like I never applied anything to them. I am amazed and in shock still from this magical formula and invention! Best creation ever!" —Chrisy

Promising review: "I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while, my waves resemble curls, but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product once so far, and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel-drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant, so I was skeptical, but after about 15 minutes, I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror, and I was amazed. It looked styled rather than a ratty mess. I slept on it, and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610

Get it from Amazon for $8.47.

28. A vegan exfoliating body scrub for anyone who struggles with persistent KP. This buffs away bumps by combining the benefits of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into one gentle, at-home treatment.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this after discovering that my ingrown leg hairs weren't actually ingrown hairs, but KP. This product was very well reviewed, and although I avoid gritty scrubs because of my sensitive skin, I thought I'd give it a try. Wow.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see the white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin. However, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom, and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" —Myshel Jensen

Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

30. A silky-smooth Beauty of Joseon serum to help you achieve all your glow goals. Formulated with niacinamide and propolis — a skin-smoothing power couple — this serum is designed to help maintain clearer skin, brighten dark spots, and give you a dewy glow with deep hydration.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I would use hairspray to hold my eyebrows, and throughout the day, I would sweat through it, and it wouldn't last. I tried this because the price was great, and I’m glad I did. This product is awesome. I've had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift, and they are still in place! It doesn't dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder, and this does NOT affect the look of the powder, nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." —Shelby

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in five shades). 

32. A wildly popular Bio-Oil because real-life magic (aka science) has gifted us this powerful blend of moisturizing oils and vitamins to help fade the scars and stretch marks you thought were going to stick around for the foreseeable ever.

Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion." —L T C

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes). 

33. A budget-friendly putty primer for blurring pores, smoothing the appearance of wrinkles, and getting that virtually airbrushed look. Plus, this primer is mixed with squalane, which offers a whole host of hydrating skin benefits.  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is smooth, blends well with foundation, and feels good on the skin. Sets well with powder. I sometimes wear it alone for a little smoother look. Since it's colorless, it doesn't look like foundation. The price is great, and I've yet to see it in a store. I like that I can control how much to apply, and a little goes a long way. It appears to wash off well. Will be buying it again." —MB

Get it from Amazon for $10.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product helped clear my skin after I struggled with many other products. I was struggling with what I thought was milia on my forehead. I have tried exfoliating with all sorts of different products. I read a review on Reddit and thought I would give it a try. So glad I did. I put this on and saw results in on night. I honestly love how well this product worked for me." —Nicole
