Promising reviews: "Love the floral detail on this case. The iridescent color is beautiful and I loved the scallop trim! Phone is easy to grip, the buttons are easy to access, and overall this is a fun floral case. 🌸" —Rmarie

"I drop my phone ALL the time, and this case truly has surprised me in being protective! I would say I actually drop my phone LESS now because the material of the case isn’t as slippery as some, and it also has the waves on the side to act as extra grips for your fingers. The color and design are gorgeous! I probably get more compliments on this case than any other phone case I have ever purchased." —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 11 colors and 17 sizes for iPhone; also available for Samsung Galaxy 24 and 24 Ultra). 

2. An Ikea bag coin purse because it's just absolutely iconic. It doesn't come with their famous Swedish meatballs, but at least you'll be carrying your headphones, charging cord, and extra change in ~style~.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "If this isn't the cutest thing EVER! I use it for carrying my ponytail holders, bobby pins, etc., in my purse. I totally heart it." —Pudingal1

Get it from Amazon for $3.98.

3. A pair of "Dreamlux" leggings, which are deceivingly identical to Lululemon's Align leggings — and reviewers are calling it out! The only difference? These give you all the buttery soft material and comfiness for a mere fraction of the name brand price. 👀 

Amazon

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Samar Hadri raves about these: "I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that, for some reason, I am always more comfortable in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear leggings, and I'm happy to report that after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too."

Promising review: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, but I tried these first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles). 

4. An EOS Vanilla Cashmere shea butter body lotion that's so silky, it might just give more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works a run for their money. It provides lightweight, long-lasting moisture *and* its delicious scent has notes of whipped vanilla and caramel. No wonder TikTok is going *feral* over this.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Listen to one user's glowing review on TikTok. 

Promising reviews: "Smells like heaven in a bottle! The scent is warm, sweet and comforting without being overpowering. It literally smells like your sweetest dreams in a bottle. It leaves my skin soft and moisturized, which is very effective. Plus, the texture is lightweight and sinks in quickly, with no greasy feeling whatsoever. This is a must-have for anyone who loves vanilla or just wants to feel luxurious. This is my third bottle and I will keep repurchasing again and again!" —Aria

"Listen. This lotion? Straight-up heaven in a bottle. The vanilla cashmere scent is like if a warm sugar cookie and a cashmere throw blanket had a baby, and that baby was a radiant, glowing goddess. It’s soft, sweet, a little sultry and it lingers in the best way. I layer it with my vanilla oil and a santal spray, and let me tell you, people stop me to ask what I'm wearing. Texture-wise? Not greasy at all. It melts into the skin like a dream and leaves you feeling silky smooth, not slippery. And the moisture? It holds. I can go about my day (or night) without needing to reapply until my next shower. No irritation, no weird residue, just straight-up magic. This is officially my forever lotion. Stocking up like it’s going out of stock — I seriously hope it never does." —Tori Lee

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three styles).  

5. A desk-friendly HappyLight sunlamp meant to help improve your mood and energy levels, so you can spend the day getting stuff done instead of counting down the minutes until you can continue marathoning your newest TV obsession.

6. A miraculous veggie chopper with four interchangeable blades that slice and chop your fruits and veggies for you. It cuts down your food prep time by a LOT, making it a huge relief for when you have guests coming over, and you didn't know making stir fry could take that long.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out aTikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food, and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five styles and five colors).

7. A maxi bodycon dress because you'll want to have a mini photoshoot with it while on your way back from lunch with your besties. Throw in a cute necklace and some sunnies, and you'll be receiving compliments left and right.

Promising review: "Obsessed with this dress! It hugs your body so well, it’s SOO comfortable, and the print is gorgeous. Got so many compliments when I wore it at a luau in Hawaii. The material is great without it being see-through, and it’s great quality." —Student User

Get it from Amazon for $45.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors).

Plus, reviewers say it's a perfect alternative to Becca X Smashbox's similar formula. 👀

www.amazon.com

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

9. A highly-rated portable car vacuum because the last road trip your group spent eating in the car wasn't the first, and it certainly won't be the last. This easily sucks away all those crumbs and makes it look like nothing ever happened. It's also compact enough to keep it in your car at all times (you know, just in case)!

www.amazon.com

The kit includes three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), a carry bag, a filter brush, and a spare HEPA filter.

Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." —Anaiz Mendez

Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 

10. And an all-purpose car upholstery cleaner — remember that time you spilled your Starbucks everywhere and accepted the leftover stains as your new reality? Remember that?? 👀 Well, good news. This works on leather, carpet, vinyl, and plastic — so you can spritz it basically anywhere and get to scrubbing as the ~nano-technology~ (new fancy word detected) helps lift away dirt and grime. Yayyyy! Go, nano-technology!!!

www.amazon.com

Note: Do not use on glass, clear plastics (like on your pedometer), media screens, alcantara, or suede.

Promising review: "Holy moly, how did I never know that this existed?? This cleaner is nothing short of a miracle!! My backseat bench has been dirty with mystery stains now for at least a decade, stains that were created by little kids, various passengers, cargo, who knows. I tried EVERYTHING to get out the hazy, dirty staining on my charcoal-colored seats to no avail. Hot water and soap, alcohol-based rubs, carpet cleaners, fabric cleaners — literally EVERYTHING, plus lots of elbow grease. I grew frustrated and resigned that my car would look like a dump forever. Then I started doing some research and came upon this cleaner. Many reviews stated it was the best thing ever, car sites named it their top choice, etc. I decided it's worth a last-ditch try, and boy, I am so glad I did! It took four to five sprays, some minor agitating and rubbing with a broad brush, then wiped off with the enclosed cloth, and whaddaya know?? POOF! STAINS GONE! I simply can't believe how easy this was and how pain free. I will go tomorrow and clean ALL my car seats! I highly recommend this, it’s the bomb." —Manddun

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two sizes)

11. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that'll have you looking absolutely chic *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 formfitting 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. Even they know a great look when they see it. Haha. 😊" —Roxi Roxx

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and nine colors).

12. A Neutrogena makeup-correcting stick so you don't have to be so anxious about making a "whoopsie" during your beauty routine. This lets you effortlessly clean up smudged eyeliner or mascara, which is more sanitary than using your fingers and more eco-friendly than using cotton swabs!

Amazon

Psst — this is also *perfect* for taking on long trips!

Promising review: "Perfect for travel or quick touch-ups. I was looking for something nonliquid to take when I travel, and this is PERFECT! It's very small and slim and works great. Easily removes makeup and works well on my sensitive skin." —sandy

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a two-pack).

13. A tattoo aftercare salve that more than 13,000 reviewers swear by — it's made with a creamy formula to help moisturize your beloved ink and enhance its vibrancy. This game-changing salve is enriched with almond oil to improve the tone and texture, as well as shea and cocoa butter to hydrate and add a subtle sheen. It's useful for both old and new tats, colored art or just black ink, *and* it'll work for all skin tones, too.

Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank.

Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower is a huge fan of this salve: "I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. Thesoothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff!"

Promising review: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward

Get it from Amazon for $13.04 (available in two scents).

14. A TikTok-famous "Soft" perfume rollerball, which is basically a wearable symphony of amber, vanilla, and a hint of sweet citrus. This dreamy, oil-based perfume will have you smelling as warm and alluring as a bakery. Plus, you can probably get at least 10 of these for the amount you pay for your pricier name-brand bottles.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first, but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy

Get it from Amazon for $4.32.

15. A kit containing 600 nail art charms so you can jazz your nails up with pearls, bows, and more without spending $5 per sticker at the salon.

16. A daily lash serum because it'll make your mascara step twice as easy, since it'll make your lashes longer and stronger within just a few weeks. Soon, you'll be resisting the urge to flutter your lashes like a cartoon character every time your S.O. walks by.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was amazed when my daughter got this product and her eyelashes looked so long without makeup. I had to try it for myself and sure enough it worked for me as well! Now we both have long full eyelashes without any mascara. This product is truly amazing!!" —jenny schillinger

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in two styles). 

17. A pet hair remover that picks up all your dog's (and your!) hair — zero struggle! It's a fan fave and requires no adhesives, sticky tape, or batteries to clean up after your furry family member. Seriously, this deserves ALL the rounds of appaws.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired, 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." —DH

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).

18. Bio-Collagen's Real Deep sheet mask, which has taken over my entire FYP for months, and now I see why! Give your skin a big ol' drink of water with this probiotic-packed mask, which starts as a milky-colored hydrogel mask, and as the hours go by, it gradually turns clear, signaling that it's working its magic on your skin. It'll not only strengthen your skin's barrier and improve elasticity, but it'll also refine the appearance of large pores and help smooth out fine lines. Many reviewers also say it's surprisingly comfortable to sleep in! 

www.amazon.com

Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. 

Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it’s pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It’s an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don’t mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" —Nala

Get it from Amazon for $19 (also available in two other formulas and a pack of 16)

19. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment some reviewers say is even BETTER than Olaplex, which is over three times the price! It's infused with collagen, ceramides, and protein extracts to help repair your hair if it is damaged, over-processed, or has just spent too much time with that flat iron. Simply apply it on wet hair after shampooing, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers with everything from thin, fine hair to 4c curls have reported positive results from this moisturizing formula, which is particularly recommended for folks whose hair is damaged from using hot tools, bleach, and the like.

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

20. And a moisturizing Mise En Scene hair serum here to breathe some life back into your locks and rescue them from eternal dryness. This delightful blend is derived from seven incredible oils: argan, olive, coconut, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia. This reviewer says it gives you gloss without the grease, and that the scent alone makes them want to keep using it!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Having written about *so* much K-beauty, I feel like I've written about every Korean product under the sun. However, this serum only recently came into my radar through a sample box — and thank goodness it did! Coincidentally, I received this just before embarking on a three-week European adventure and decided to take this with me. I have veryyy prone-to-frizz 2c hair, and through all of the different cities and varying climates, this serum kept my hair soft, silky, and (mercifully!) frizz-free. I dare say I'll be keeping this in my hair regimen forever. Not to mention, it leaves your hair smelling absolutely delightful!

Promising review: "The scent is nice. I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I've been using salon products for over a decade, and this is way better. And cheaper. I've even gotten compliments on how silky smooth my hair looks. I put it on while my hair is wet, then again when I style, if my hair gets frizzy from my flat-iron, and to tame flyaways. It's my favorite hair product I own." —Amy Wilt

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas).

21. A set ofcowboy straw toppers, because there ain't no sharin' drinks 'round these parts, bub. This'll keep your drink fresh, germ-free, and lookin' mighty fashionable.

Promising review: "So SO CUUUTE! 10/10!! Good product and keeps my straw from getting bugs or germs on it! Plus, it’s really cute." —JennA

Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99 (available in five styles). 

22. A set of "wine wands" that anyone who enjoys an evening glass of red wine will appreciate because it gives them all the flavor *without* that dreaded headache in the morning. All they gotta do is swirl this wand (which contains a histamine and sulfite filter) in their wine for 20 seconds, and voila. No more wine hangovers!

Promising review: "What a difference these have made in my life. With my allergies it was impossible to enjoy a glass or two of wine without nasty side effects: stuffy nose, red face, and headaches. Now I can have a glass of wine and not have to dart to a package of antihistamine! Makes a great gift. Even thinking of splitting a box into stocking stuffers. Each wand is individually wrapped. I have purchased these several times and will continue to do so." —KellyH

Get a set of three from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in bigger pack sizes).

23. A super convenient handheld mini fan many reviewers enjoy using for unexpectedly stuffy flights! But. TBH, this is just a really smart lil' gadget to have on you at all times. It gives off a powerful, refreshing airflow. And guess what? It also doubles as a flashlight *and* backup charger. Talk about being tiny but mighty!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You know how everyone has those little items that are permanently in their carry-on bag? This is one of them for me. Being able to get some nice airflow wherever I go has been so amazing that I can never go back. And not even just for travel! I also take it to amusement parks and on hikes, and I even use it throughout my makeup routine to help set products in place. Plus, the battery life is *top-tier*.

Promising review: "This thing was a godsend while I was in Florida in the summertime. Love that it has a flashlight, and you can use it as a backup power bank in a pinch. For me, this fit all my needs, it kept me cool in Florida, fit perfectly in my purse/backpack, and on my wrist. I pretty much took this wherever I went and even used it on the plane during boarding when it was super hot in there. I’m giving this 5 stars. It worked perfectly for me." —Erica

Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in six colors).

24. A pair of sandals that many reviewers say are a wonderful alternative to Birkenstocks. Their cork footbed quickly adjusts to the contour of your foot *and* they're designed with soft lining and adjustable straps. The comfort of a tennis shoe combined with the effortlessness of a sandal? Yes, please.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I spent three weeks traveling through eight different European cities and let me tell you — bringing these sandals with me was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. My most worn pair of shoes during my trip, hands down. The reasons I was on the hunt for comfy sandals were 1. I didn't want my feet enclosed all day while trekking the whole city in warm weather and 2. Some outfits simply pair better with sandals. I hiked up to the Acropolis of Athens in these babies, and that stone floor was slippery. And still, out of my group of 11 family members and friends, I was the first one to make it to the top (and yes, I did brag). I even told two of my friends that went with me to get these for the trip, and they were eternally grateful for my rec. 

Promising review: "As someone who owns several pairs of Birks, these sandals are absolutely up to the expectations of real Birks! The Birks I have are the Arizona soft footbed. I wanted this style of Birks but I couldn’t find the soft footbed version in them. I saw these and thought I might as well try them for the price. Let me tell you, these are even comfier than my soft-footbed Arizona Birks! Omg, they feel amazing. They are nice and padded! They are so adorable, too! Great quality." —Lee

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12, two widths, and 20 colors).

25. A flirty corset lace-up sundress with a cute slit and a bustier design that's sure to fit you like a glove. It gives major Bridgerton vibes, but the price tag makes it easier than ever to show up looking like the diamond of the season. If you ask me, it looks extremely similar to the House of CB version (which costs over $200 👀).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Buy this dress!! I purchased a small in the navy blue color for a wedding  — so many people came up to me and asked if it was from House of CB! Great quality, fits great, and the color is beautiful." —Amanda

"This is GORGEOUS! I bought a large, and I’m 5’7 185 lbs. Wore it for dinner in Italy and received many compliments. Fabric is a little stretchy, good cut, and little to no sewing errors. Will be good for at least four more summers and nice to keep on hand for tea/garden parties." —Sophie

Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in women's sizes 0–14 and 20 styles).

26. A carbonated bubble clay mask because it's wayyyy more fun to use than a normal mask. And not only do the bubbles make it more interesting, but the carbonation helps clean out your pores. Be sure to have your camera ready — you're gonna want to provide the group chat with some selfies. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It's also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn't see near these results from)." —Phil Textor

Get it from Amazon for $9.80.

27. A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation that's got the whole TikTok beauty community in a chokehold.

Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation.

Promising reviews: "I love Love LOVE this foundation! I’m throwing out every other foundation I own! I have pink undertones from redness, and I’ve always struggled to find a foundation that matched me well that didn’t leave a yellow-looking finish. This was it!!!! I was really skeptical at first, but figured, hey, why not try it! It gives such a natural look. It’s not cakey and doesn’t separate on my skin like other foundations I’ve used. I tried it with and without primer, and it looked awesome either way! I used it with their setting spray and color me impressed! This is now my forever foundation!" —Sharon

"Flight attendant here. Travel-friendly. I'm a fair neutral skin tone, and it's not too pink, not too warm. It's the perfect neutral color. Looks like skin! I just ordered the pink version that's supposed to be more matte just to try a different consistency because this does so well on my skin. If you are using a drugstore foundation, trash it and order this. Those warm tones after time that happen with affordable foundations DOES NOT HAPPEN with this formula. Will continue to order forever. Goes on in a thin layer. 10/10!" —Sav

Get it from Amazon for $21 (available in 40 shades, a matte finish, a dewy finish, and sample kits to find your best shade match).

28. An elevatedlaptop tote bag so clean-cut and beautiful it might just empower you to strut through that office like the baddie you are (even though you're dreading sorting through those Monday morning emails). This stylish piece offers spacious compartments for all your essentials (laptop, makeup bag, books, and more) and keeps them organized and within reach. Some reviewers even compare this to (and favor it over) the Béis Work Tote that sells for $148!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome." —Su

"Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney. She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers." —J Cliett

Get it from Amazon for $34.86 (available in nine styles). 

29. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which quite literally wraps your lashes with lengthening tubes for a fuller appearance. A unique benefit of this? It makes it SO easy to remove at the end of the day — no mindless scrubbing needed! It's even enriched with a dash of jojoba seed oil to condition your lashes while providing that striking length.

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

See what BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has to say about this: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black."

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 

30. A pack of Globbles — if anything, adults need fidget toys even more than kids. Throw them at the wall, the ceiling, or at the cabinet you stubbed your toe on an hour ago and watch as they "glob" onto the surface in an ever-so-satisfying way. The best part? These stretchy little things stick onto basically any flat surface without leaving any messy residue!

32. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash enriched with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber so you can smell ~expensive~ (cue the lip bite 🫦) without affecting the weight of your wallet too much.

See what BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord has to say about this: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry."

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

33. A foundation brush — you're bound to love it no matter what your level of experience is. With a perfect balance of soft and firm, it lets you achieve that hard-to-get ~flawless finish~ whether you're blending powder or liquid. Plus, many reviewers mention how user-friendly the bristle design is (especially for beginners).

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok. I’m a middle-aged woman, so it’s difficult for me to admit that. I. LOVE. IT! It gives a flawless finish with little product. I have a compact foundation that comes with its own applicator sponge. I almost threw it out because I didn’t like the coverage. I tried this brush with it, and it’s perfect! It also comes in a plastic case, which is great because I travel a lot with my work, and my other brushes get damaged sometimes." —Thayel M. Caison

Get it from Amazon for $6.63+ (available in 12 colors).

34. A set of adorable pastel "unbreakable" deep plates because they are just...so chic. 😍 But they're not just a pretty face — they're also lightweight, dishwasher- and microwave-safe, and will beautifully frame that new TikTok pasta recipe you've been wanting to try.

Promising review: "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it’s an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me." —M. Zolnosky

Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as bowls!). 

35. An adjustable infinity pillow if you want something a little more cushiony. This one's designed with 360-degree support, so if you usually find yourself slowly falling sideways as you doze off, this pillow's got your back (or should say... neck).

www.amazon.com

The pillow is made with a breathable, super soft bamboo fabric, and fully machine washable. 

Promising review: "We got a few different types of travel pillows for a red-eye to Europe and this was overall our favorite due to its versatility. The loop actually allows you to have various self-supporting positions, and this will contort all sorts of ways to be a pillow, neck rest, arm rest… anything. It’s actually just good for any type of travel in general and got a lot of use on the whole trip. The material is soft and comfortable." —Tom Shaw

Get it from Amazon for $54.50 (available in 10 colors). 

36. A prismatic window film that'll give you a daily dose of rainbows while *also* providing your first-floor place some privacy. These make your space a little less mundane and project a whimsical kaleidoscope of colors into your room, which your roomies will probably be jealous of.

Promising review: "I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. And the bed. And the cat." —J. B.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
