Unicorn Snot is a small biz!
Promising review: "I love Unicorn Snot, and I buy it exclusively for my lips. This is a new shade for me, but it's beautiful! Totally worth the money because it lasts basically all day without having to reapply. And I can kiss my kids and husband without evidence being left behind." —SG92
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 13 colors).

Promising review: "Not only is the metallic shade subtle enough to stand out without an 'in your face' feeling, but this product stays on all day long. I work outside a little in Arizona and staying on all day is key for me! Highly recommend!" —Valeria Skoglund
Get it from Amazon for$6+ (available in eight shades).
Amazon, www.amazon.com
I recently tried this and wow, y'all — the shimmer is perfect; much more like you are glowing and sun-kissed than a glitter bomb went off (which I very much prefer). But what really gets me when I put this on is the SMELL. It smells so luxe and light. And it's funny because I typically don't care for floral scents, but this has a lil' body to it that I really enjoy. And then the oil, overall, is very lightweight and doesn't leave behind a greasy finish.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS STUFF! It is just gorgeous going on and feels so luxurious. It leaves your skin shimmery and absorbs wonderfully. I had first bought this while in Rome, Italy, and was THRILLED to find it on Amazon. There are certainly products that cost less, but you do get what you pay for, and in my estimation, this is worth every penny!" —Polly Blasko Knelson
Get it from Amazon for $38+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "These are literally the best gel pens out there — no competition. I’ve been obsessed with Gelly Roll pens since high school, and they’re still just as amazing! The ink is so rich, so thick, and perfectly pigmented that it can even completely cover/write over black paper like magic. Super smooth, super gelly, and always a joy to use. If you know, you know. 🖊✨" —Melody

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting a sturdy and cute beach bag that was not mesh and or a basic tote. This is it! It comes with a dry bag for a phone. The handles are thick. The iridescent color looks so cool in the sun, and it’s the perfect size. I fit two towels, a sunscreen bag, two changes of clothes, a speaker, goggles, and snacks. With extra room too. I love the new silver-black color, but this purple was on sale, so I went for it. Matches perfectly with my black swimsuit." —Daniela G
Get it from Amazon for$80 (available in two iridescent styles and 10 other styles).
Promising review: "Sparkling and beautiful. I bought these to hang in my kitchen window, and they are perfect. The sun hits the crystals, and it creates a beautiful shine and radiance. I've received lots of compliments. Nice buy!" —Alicia Burciaga

Chillhouse is a Latin-woman-owned small biz!
Promising reviews: "Love these! And, I get so many compliments on them." —Amazon Customer
"I love this brand of nails. They are super easy to put on. I love the glue they use; it holds very well — just follow the instructions and prepare your nails, put glue on the nail and press on the nail, wait 3 seconds, then press on the nail for 30 seconds. They last more than two weeks. And I can do my nails twice or do mine and my daughters' with one box! Definitely worth the price for one box! Have purchased several colors. Will try to add other colors." —Christy
Get it from Amazon for $11.59 (also available in 28 other shades).
Amazon
Promising review: "This is the best nail polish I’ve ever used! I’m a nurse, so I wash my hands A LOT. Normally, I have to paint my nails every two days because they chip so easily. This polish lasted six days! Including two 12-hour shifts! Not a single chip! Plus, it goes on so nicely. Definitely would recommend." —Jenn Paulek
Get it from Amazon for $12.50 (also available in five other shades).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This nail concealer is simply amazing and I’ve tried MANY. I love how easy it is to apply and I love all the shades of nail concealers available to purchase. Dries quickly, lasts about a week before I have to do little touch ups. I’ve told so many friends about this great polish. Trust me — it’s cheaper to buy this concealer than going to a salon. Your nails will look healthier and have a pretty classy look to them. Pure Elegance! Buy with confidence." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in six colors).

Promising reviews: "I bought these as a gift, and they were soooo beautiful! The perfect coupe glasses are so hard to find at a reasonable price that doesn't break the bank, so these were perfect. I loved these so much I nearly bought a set for myself. The quality was amazing, and the gift box? Stunning. The size isn't too small as some look, so I would highly recommend to someone who wants to make a nice drink every once in a while. Someone say espresso martini?" —Jo Reyes

Amazon
Promising review: "Diva, stop letting these influencers sway you into spending your hard-earned (and scarce) beans on $20–$30 subpar lip balms — you’re paying for the brand, and the quality is questionable. E.l.f. KNOCKED THEM BOTH OUTTA THE PARK WITH THIS! SO BUTTERY, SO YUMMY, SOOOOOOO MUCH PRODUCT!!!!! I wasn’t expecting the tube to be so generous in size, by far the biggest amount I've seen from the market. The flavors are divine, the color payoff is even better than Summer Fridays… and it’s only $9, you cannot go wrong. I just can’t fathom any balm being priced above $12, E.l.f. always hits and barely misses. 🩷💋" —SONIA
Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in 14 flavors).

Promising review: "The most beautiful and perfect shoes! I opened up the box and all my dreams came true! This pair of shoes is exactly what I’ve been searching for for months.

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–11 and in four colors).
Glam Globes / Etsy
Glam Globes is a UK-based small biz that sells adorable disco ball home decor pieces!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has one herself and loves it! Here's what she has to say about it: "It's from a small biz based in the UK, and while it did take a while to arrive (as I expected), it was *well* worth the wait. The light bouncing off the mirror fragments and onto my walls is just dang beautiful. Between the bottom tray and the space inside the globe (yes, the globe OPENS UP!), there's a nice amount of storage for bottles and glassware. And unlike regular bar carts, the things you keep inside the globe will actually stay dust-free. I bought the 'champagne' color (which is a nice neutral cream-beige), but it comes in tons of colors that'll go perfectly with your home decor."
Get it from Glam Globes on Etsy for $348.77 (available in nine colors on the brand's website and in seven colors on Etsy).

Promising review: "So pretty! This little planter came with a plastic insert to help with drainage, and all the little mirrors were firmly attached. It's beautiful! Also came with a choice of a metal chain or macrame yarn hanger." —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $24.67+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

Some reviewers with brown eyes also say that it really makes their eyes pop!
Moira is a small biz that offers vibrant, affordable beauty products.
Promising review: "Moira makes the best multi-chrome eyeliners at such an amazing price. You can't argue with the selection of colors for the price. This one Flare is a dark gold to green to bronze shift. The color shift is so dramatic and bright, but incredibly wearable at the same time. I use them to pop on the lower waterline, and they do not budge all day long. The color stays saturated and doesn't move until you take it off later. Super creamy and a line is incredibly easy to make. It does have microscopic glitter, but it shouldn't be a problem. All the colors are incredible and always get compliments when I wear them. Their normal eyeliners are also incredibly and insanely waterproof. Love this brand." —Nica
Get it from Amazon for $7.75+ (available in 16 colors).
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I’ve never loved something from Amazon as much as I love this light fixture. We call it our disco hallway! It gives off great light, and as you can see in the photo (pictured above, right), it’s like a rainbow prism on the walls and ceiling, but beneath it is regular lighting, so it can be used in all types of rooms. Seriously, get it! If the pendant style would have worked in my dining room I would have gotten it for there as well. I’m obsessed." —Jesi
Get it from Amazon for $115.50+ (available in four styles and two sizes).
DomoINK/Etsy
DomoINK is a Black-woman-owned small biz that makes decor, apparel, and gift options that represent the Black community.
Promising review: "All I can say is WOW!!!!" —Chasity
Get it from DomoINK on Etsy for $40.
Promising review: "This is cute and exactly what I wanted — subtle and durable! It's not as 'bright' as the picture shows, however, I find that even better because it's still iridescent but not tacky. Height-wise, it fit my 2024 Kia K5 GT perfectly, and I just dropped the sun visors down to hold it in place. The mirror cutout is also perfect. The only 'issue' is that it's just a tad much on the length, but it's not a deal breaker. I WFH and my car sits in the driveway all day, getting beat by the sun, so this is great to not only keep me from burning my chicken legs (leather seats, IYKYK) but also to keep my dash from fading and steering wheel from peeling! Get it! 😊" —gabygirlxo
Get it from Amazon for $19.50+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower, when my hair is still damp, I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on, and then after I blow dry, I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast, and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes, a leave-in cream, a detangler, dry shampoo, and five other formulas).
Promising review: "I had no privacy in the evenings and was looking for an alternative solution that was not only effective but that would look good, too. After putting these up, I finally have some really effective privacy. It's so nice without everybody being able to see into my windows whenever they please at night. The amazing amount of rainbow effect that happens during the daytime when the sunlight streams through is so neat! My place is flooded with rainbows everywhere. It is better than I pictured!" —Sally Skeleton
Get it from Amazon for$5.99+(available in 10 prints and various sizes).

Promising review: "I have had this wine bottle opener for over two years, and I'm so happy with this purchase. I love the aesthetic and that I can leave it on the counter. When you receive the product, you just have to plug it in to charge, and then it’s ready to use. It’s convenient to have the foil cutter. It’s also still sharp after two years. In just a few seconds, the bottle is opened, and I’m ready to enjoy a glass of wine!" —Rebecca Anne

Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring, though. The sizing was accurate, it is well-weighted, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now, and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring, and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." —Eva Richterkessing
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles).
Promising review: "I love the way these layered 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 $12.99+ (available in three finishes and 17 other styles).
Promising review: "It worked great! I recommend spraying either outside or in a well-ventilated space. I will buy it again!" —AAllen26

Promising review: "I’m terrible about putting on lotion even though my skin is dry. I just hate it. But I love this stuff. It makes my skin feel great. Has a light, pleasant scent. Spray it on and rub it in. So easy! I just apply when going to bed or at least when I don’t have to put anything other than lounge clothes on right away. My skin looks and feels so much better, it makes me want to keep using it." —Slade
Get it from Amazon for $9.58 (also available in a pack of two or four).

Marée is a small business that specializes in beauty products.
Promising review: "Gifted these masks to my sister-in-law, and she loved them. So I figured I’d try them too. What a difference in my skin. I like to leave all masks on a lot longer than most people or directions say. I let the mask gel absorb into my skin. So when I took it off, it was not wet anymore. I woke up the next day with a nice glow and dewy appearance. I will have to get more. I think it actually tightened my eyes and laugh lines, too. I love this product and will continue to buy it. Thank you, Marée!!" —Eugene Cecora

Promising review: "I love this light! The stars are beautiful, the colors are beautiful. I like that it shuts off in four hours. I use it in my house so I don’t have to turn the lights on all the time. I like it so much, I just ordered three more to give to my grandchildren. It also has sounds like the sound of rain, or ocean waves. And you can even play your regular music on it. Don’t be afraid to try it! It’s like having the northern lights anytime you want." —Amy J Nelson
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in four colors).
