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 of The Met x Band-Aidsfeaturing iconic works by the famed Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai — these Band-Aids are part of a collaboration with the iconic museum, so now whenever you get an "ouchie," you can be a walking work of art for everyone around you. 

Amazon

Check out a TikTok of The Met x Band-Aid collab in action. 

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

2. Laneige's Bespoke Lip Sleeping Mask, the first-ever CUSTOMIZABLE (!!) sleeping mask that will let you mix two different flavors in your perfect, personalized swirl. Now you can get all the benefits of this mask's ultra-hydrating vitamin C, shea butter, and murumuru seed butter blend, but in absolute diva mode. 👑👑👑 This also makes an excellent gift for a lippie-loving pal! 

Amazon

You can mix two of these five flavors: Champagne (which shimmers!), Blue Cream Soda, Sweet Candy, Orange, and Lemon. 

Get it from Amazon for $28.

3. 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 absolutely love this butter stick squishy! The soft texture and slow-rising design make it incredibly satisfying to squeeze and play with. It’s perfect for relieving stress during busy workdays and keeps my hands occupied while I focus. The bright yellow color is cute and cheerful, and it has held up well with regular use. It also makes a great desk toy, party favor, or small gift for kids and adults alike. A fun, calming, and high-quality squishy that I highly recommend!" —Milagros Lopez

Get a set of 60 from Amazon for $7.59+(available in a two-pack and in gold). 

4. Wonderskin's pH-Activated Cream Blush Stick that will be the ultimate tool in creating a naturally flushed look — the color adjusts to your skin's unique pH to give you your own personal shade for your cheeks *and* your lips, so you get two perfect shades in one for a quick, seamless pop of color in your beauty routine. This is also designed to be super buildable if you need more pigment for a night out! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love the Wonderskin pHlush Stick! The color it creates when it reacts with my skin's pH is beautiful and natural-looking — like a custom blush shade made just for me. One of my favorite things about this product is its versatility. I can use it on both my cheeks and lips, which makes it perfect for a quick, coordinated look. The formula is wonderfully moisturizing and glides on effortlessly without tugging or dragging. Unlike many cream blushes, it doesn't leave any residue, feels completely non-sticky, and blends beautifully. It also has a very light, refreshing minty sensation that feels pleasant on the skin, and I appreciate that it's essentially fragrance-free." —EnGee

5. A gorgeous set ofgolden bracelets and bangles you can mix and match to your wrist's content. Reviewers love how unique each of the bracelets is, and how durable they are over time! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These bracelets are so cute and are a great accessory to my outfits. I get compliments on these bracelets all the time. They are also a really nice shade of gold. You can also adjust the size of all of the bracelets." —Alysia Moore

Get a set of 60 from Amazon for $13.98 (available in four styles and two other finishes). 

6. Touchland x Peanuts Body & Hair Fragrance Mist that will be more than just a pretty scent — this has light skincare built in, thanks to the hydrating hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. With this decadent blend of grapefruit, pineapple, magnolia, coconut water, and sandalwood, Snoopy's got our backs a heck of a lot better than he ever had Charlie Brown's in a football game. 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, Amazon

Touchland is a small business that specializes in scent mists and hand sanitizers. 

Check out a TikTok of the Peanuts x Touchland collab in action. 

As the mother of a baby boy, I have made Snoopy my new religion, so I was THRILLED beyond belief at this collab. It smells just as beachy, luscious, and laid back as it says it does, and is the perfect casual scent to spray on the way out the door. I love how light and subtle it is compared to other scents, too — especially since I am snuggling that baby so much. I already love all of Touchland's body mists (the Peachy Lycheeand Golden Amberare outta this WORLD), but this is like a happy summer hazy daydream! Highly recommend! 

Get it from Amazon for $24.

7. A set of Summer Fridays Sweet Minis with *exclusive* flavors you won't be able to buy anywhere else, including Berry Sorbet, Peach Granita, and Sea Salt Caramel. 😋😋😋 When the holy grail lippie of lippies comes out with a set this cute and delicious, the vibe is run, do not walk!! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Good shine and color. Love 'em." —Lovello

Get it from Amazon for $22

8. A pair of Shokz bone conduction open-ear Bluetooth headphones that let you listen to music during a workout *without* jamming earbuds into your ears and worrying about sweating them out. These are totally waterproof and give great, high-quality audio that still leaves you safely aware of your surroundings, unlike noise-canceling options. You can even easily take calls on these! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Game changer after wearing earbuds for years and suffering very uncomfortable pain inside my ear from the hard plastic contact, one to two hours max!!!! I now wear these ALL day with no discomfort and the ability to hear my surroundings :). Also helped with my level 10 tinnitus!!!! Well-made, lightweight, all-day comfort, great battery life, and easy Bluetooth connectivity. 10/10!!!!" —Scott Garrard 

Get a set of 60 from Amazon for $99.95 (available in two sizes and two colors).  

9. Lisa Frank x Tree Hut Ocean Pop Body Scrubto give you the kind of gentle exfoliation so good that even your skin will feel like it's the '90s again. (If you weren't born until the 2000s, this wasn't meant for you, anyway.) This blend of shea butter and natural sugar crystals has scent notes of yuzu, sea salt, and coconut to smell like the same colorful fever dream that inspired it. OH, the best part?? It's SPARKLY. ✨✨✨.

Amazon

Promising review: "Love love love. Arrived quickly, so cute, and smells amazing. 🪸" —Makenna

Get a set of 60 from Amazon for $11.89(available in 18 other scents). 

10. E.l.f. Glow Reviver Slipstick, a newer tinted lip oil stick giving a looooot of Clinique's Black Honeyenergy without the $25 price tag — particularly the Mauve Mentality, which to me looks like the closest approximation of the $25 Nude Honey I've seen so far! Just like their competitors, these are designed to be buildable and ultra-hydrating, with a smooth, subtly glossy finish for everyday looks — but unlike them, these come in a TON of shade variations to get your perfect match. 

Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Check out a TikTok of the Slipsticks in action. 

I *jumped* on this because I'm a huge fan ofClinique's Black Honey line — I'm wearing theMauve Mentality shadethat's meant to be an alternative to the $25 Nude Honey above! I love the consistency of this and the lightweight, buildable color. It's the perfect "keep this by the door/in a purse" lip tint that goes well with pretty much any outfit, since it's in that genre of "no makeup makeup." My only complaint is that you have to be careful not to twist it too high up, since the formula is kind of melty and makes it hard to twist back down. But otherwise this is an EXCELLENT everyday lippie to have in your arsenal!! 

Promising review: "Love these. Sheer, pigmented, but buildable, and don't feel heavy or thick or sticky like Wet 'N Wild lip oils do. I love that it's available in a stick option." —catina m. claytor

Get it from Amazon for $9.71 (available in 11 shades). 

11. Maldon Smoked Sea Salt Flakes, aka the ultimate in culinary decadence. If you love that subtle, "chef's kiss," perfect burst of crunch and flavor of regular Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, the smoked version is going to activate happy nerves in your tongue that you didn't even know existed. It's perfect for adding more depth to savory dishes and some counter-balance to sweet ones. McCormick suggests it for mixed drinks like Old Fashioneds, and one bold reviewer even added it to their coffee

Amazon

Promising review: "The smoky sea salt by Maldon is the best by far that I have found. I love the crunch and flavor. I put it on my steaks and on my vegetables and baked potatoes, and top my scrambled eggs with it. I suggest buying two boxes." —Kimberly Yarbrough

Get it from Amazon for $7.85

12. Marée's Collagen Facial Masks, which are just *stacked* with ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid and pearl extract to give you a smoothing, plumping refresh every time. Also, I sincerely dare you not to take a bunch of selfies in these jaw-droppingly gorgeous, ultra-luxe masks. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 

Get a set of six from Amazon for$9.99. 

13. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's $90 Santal 33 version, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. If you're in the market for a signature scent to keep your space relaxing and cozy, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend. 

www.amazon.com

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice, strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). 

14. Kitsch's French hairpin for the ultimate in easy elegance on days when you've got places to be and zero time to get to them. This is designed to work for all hair types and medium to long hair lengths! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This Kitsch French hairpin is both beautiful and functional. The gold finish is sleek and adds a touch of elegance, whether I'm dressing up or going casual. It holds my thick hair in place all day without slipping and is much more comfortable than hair ties. Great for buns, twists, or quick updos. Super easy to use once you get the hang of it. Definitely a staple in my hair routine now!" —J. Lee Hall

Get it from Amazon for $7.94 (available in four colors and in two packs). 

15. 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

Get it from Amazon for $9.98(available in seven other scents). 

16. A simple faux diamond tennis bracelet to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit without the price of name-brand versions like Swarovski (even though reviewers agree this looks like the Real Deal 👀). 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% [similar to] Swarovski for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

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! 

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four colors, two styles, and three sizes). 

17. A — be still my hydrated heart — teensy 14-ounce Stanley Cup for the days when you aren't Big Thirsty, but Little Thirsty, and don't want to haul around a brick of water with you. Reviewers love this for traveling and so their littles can have matching Stanley cups with their big ones!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wonderful. Coffee stays a lot hotter in this cup. Great size. Matter of fact, it's perfect." —LaHoma

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in eight colors and larger sizes, which come in dozens of colors). 

18. 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

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

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

Get it from Amazon for $8.76.

20. 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 that 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

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "I am not exaggerating when I say that I saw a difference in my neck lines within a few days. It works, but I wish it came in a tub. I have been dabbing a little under my eyes, and it seems like it’s working to reduce some of my age-related hollowing. I think I will try thestick version to target other areas." —Kira

Get it from Amazon for $29.90

23. A little color-changing cloud meditation breathing lamp to help you self-regulate, help with anxiety relief, or just help you find some ~calm~ in your day. Also, look at this precious lil' bub's face. Are you really telling me you don't want to give her a good home??

Amazon

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 

Get it from Amazon for $20.

Promising review: "I bought one of these many years ago and love mine. I just bought this one for a friend as a gift. She loves it! This item is of great quality. Perfect size to do quick, creative work. This board helps a person come into the present. Let the world melt away while they use it. Before you know it, time has slipped by, and the calm has set in. It may be perfect at the office! Definitely would have people stopping by to chill for a minute! (Just a thought.) I would imagine this would be calming for kids, too! Get one for yourself. Leave the world behind." —ClearlyLiving

Promising review: "I just love these Lego Botanicals! I got these daisies to add to the sunflowers I already have. The directions are easy to follow and really fun to put together. It took me about an hour to finish the kit. We all know Legos are built to last, so I'm sure these flowers will too! The best part is they will never wilt or die, so you can enjoy them all year long. The colors are bright, cheery, and the flowers go well with the other Lego Botanicals that I own. I will be adding more very soon, and I highly recommend." —Luv2shop

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

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

36. 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!

Amazon

I ordered this because I needed it. It makes me happy to behold him. I've had him for years, but especially loved him when I had my son and needed a buddy with me in the trenches during late-night feeds. I'd be like, "Wow, that attempt at a crib transfer was an epic disaster," and my little pal would be like 😐😐😐.

Why Trust BuzzFeed Shopping?

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
