Promising review: "I bought this product hoping for a fresh, divine scent, and wow, it completely blew me away! I’m usually not one to purchase scented products without smelling them first, but I took a leap of faith and it paid off. Hawaiian Bliss is everything I hoped for and more. The scent is absolutely heavenly; rejuvenating, relaxing, and somehow energizing at the same time. After using it, I feel calmer, refreshed, and even a little happier. I genuinely look forward to using it. I’m already planning to order more, not just for myself but to include in gift baskets for friends and family. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Highly recommend!" —K. Marie

Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatmentin action.
Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Promising review: "I thought this promotion was fake, but I ordered it hoping I’d get a good product — and I did! OMG! If you’re thinking about trying Moroccanoil, you can totally start with these minis to see if they work for you. And let me tell you, these products are 100% recommended! They’re perfect as a gift or just for your own use. So worth it!" —Alehandra

Kuumba Made is a small business that specializes in luxury scents at affordable price points.
Promising review: This is my absolute favorite scent. I heard of this from someone I follow on TikTok and figured I would try it out. I fell in love with it the second I put it on. The scent is nice, not super strong, which I like because most perfumes bother my allergies. The scent lasts for a while. One bottle lasts me a few months. I recommend this scent to all my friends. I have tried other scents from this brand, but I think this one is the best." —rich allen

Price: $4.98(available in three variations)
Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy, I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly
Price: $12.99 for a pack of two (also available in a pack of four).
Eight Saints is a small business that specializes in skincare products.
Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of all things Eight Saints. I have sensitive skin, and this is the first skincare line that I have seen results in my skin texture and fine lines while not triggering my eczema. When I saw they added this neck cream to their product line, I knew I had to try it. At 39 years old, I've noticed some loss in firmness of my skin on my neck, and when I wake up in the morning, I have wrinkles on my decolletage from side sleeping. I started using this about a week ago, and I've already noticed improvements in the fine lines on my neck, plus when I wake up in the morning, no more wrinkles on my chest! It's so smooth, thick, and creamy, but rubs into your skin with ease, and it's so hydrating. Top quality product again from Eight Saints!" —Ms Leach

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m
Price: $6.80
Promising review: "I was worried at first because it's a very thin consistency, but oh my goodness, my skin is incredibly soft, and it lathered so well. The smell is a soft vanilla with woody undertones. It smells really good. It's better than the Dove body wash that is all the hype currently." —Jessica

Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable, and they seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend. I’ll probably never sleep without them again." —AJ
I bought these at the last second for a flight when I lost my way more expensive sleep mask, and can safely say "good riddance" to that old pair — I love this version way more. It's perfectly contoured so it doesn't rub my eyes or mess up my makeup if I'm traveling, the weight is satisfying without being distracting, and it adjusts super quickly and easily without every getting caught in my hair. Also the pink is just absolutely precious, so my little Glinda x Barbie heart is most pleased to show it off.

Billion Dollar Brows is a small business that specializes in beauty products.
Promising review: "I have found a new eyebrow enhancer powder! I’m blonde, and my eyebrows don’t show up very well. I have tried a lot of colors and products, but the rich, soft color of this one beats them all. Easily glides on, covers my gray brow hairs, and helps my eyebrows frame my face. And this one stays on all day until I wash it off! Well worth the price and the quality surprised me!!" —Pammer
Price: $10.99+ (available in five shades and multipacks)
Promising review: "All my life I've used a rag for cleaning my face. I started having breakouts. I saw this on TikTok so I decided to purchase.

Promising review: "This is the sweetest little lamp I've ever purchased! I love everything about it! I got the sage green one, but I would love to have one in each color. Being able to bend the 'stem' is very cool. Its light is bright enough that you are able to read next to it with no other light on. The price is right, too!" —Brenda Redmond

Promising review: "This workout top is super cute and comfy. The keyhole back adds such a fun touch without being too revealing. It gives great airflow when you’re working out, but also just makes the top feel a little more styled and put-together. The material is soft, stretchy, and holds up well during workouts, and is super versatile for casual wear. I’ve already gotten compliments on it! It’s one of those tops that makes you feel a little more confident just putting it on. Definitely a favorite in my activewear lineup." —Lauren Carlson

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action.
Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer

Quitch is a small business that specializes in family-friendly bug repellent and bug bite relief products.
Promising review: "I don’t know how this works but it helped my itching SO MUCH! It sticks quite well and even stayed on after a shower. I got them because I was traveling to an area that had lots of mosquitos. I would be itching so bad but once I placed one on the bite, it reduced the itching to almost nonexistent. The pack comes with different sizes. It’s helped with not scarring my legs from the bites. I’ll definitely rebuy this for summer. It’s so easy and great to just throw in your bag." —Holly C.

The sconce is USB-C rechargeable, features three different dimness settings, and can be controlled through an app on your phone.
Promising review: "This totally is a lighting game changer! If you're like me and are constantly revamping your home and moving things around — well this cute, rechargeable, 'no-wiring-needed' light is just the ticket. It took me all of 30 seconds to install, and the brightness settings on the app are perfect. I like that I can set a timer on the light so I don't accidentally leave it on. Mine came with an extra battery, so when the initial one needs to be recharged, I just swap it out. I actually think I'm going to need to buy another one!" —Lauren

It’s super easy — just steep in cold water (or with a splash of tequila if you’re making a cocktail), and you’ve got a refreshing, slightly spicy drink in under a minute. The flavor is chef’s kiss — tangy, zesty, with the perfect little kick. I love that it’s non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher, and vegan too." —Chioma
