40 Products So Great, So Spectacular, You’ll Be Shocked To Learn They Cost Less Than $25

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-05-26 05:03

1. A reusable plug-in fly trap with a built-in light that'll work like a siren song, luring hapless flying insects to their demise. It calls out to fruit flies and gnats up to 400 feet away so you can finally reclaim your home WITHOUT having to look at a gross fly trap roll. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The plug-in comes with two glue traps, but you can buy refills here.

Promising review: "Sorcery. We travel in an RV full-time, and with camping comes bugs. I don’t see bugs flying around, but they do seem to be appearing at alarming rates on the sticky pad. Either they’re teleporting from outside directly onto the sticky pad, or this thing attracts them and catches them so fast that they didn’t have a chance to annoy me. After trying nearly every bug-catching product on the market over the past two years, I can confirm that this might be magic." —Justin Erny

Get it from Amazon for $14.48.

2. L'Oreal Paris Bright Reveal — a new dark spot correcting serum that aims to be like a professional peel in a bottle. The blue gel uses 25% AHA, BHA, and PHA to chemically exfoliate and help reveal brighter, smoother skin. Expect compliments with words like glowing, radiant, and wellness influencer.  

L'Oreal, Amazon

Of course, this won't literally work like a professional peel, but it'll be a gentle, affordable alternative. Remember to spot check before using on your whole face.

Promising review: "This does not disappoint. I'll admit I haven't been using it long enough to see a huge difference in my hyperpigmentation (I have a few light patches). I am also using this in conjunction with other products that help with dark spots. However, the biggest surprise was how incredible my skin looked and felt immediately after using it — so smooth and even. I have sensitive skin and recommend following all product instructions. I have not had any issues using this product. This is hands down the best new product I have added to my skincare regimen." —Lizzie

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

3. A pair ofwireless over-the-ear headphones just as cute and functional as AirPods Max, but at a price point so low, it'll seem like a clerical error. Despite the tiny price tag, they still boast cushion padding, a built-in mic, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and noise-cancelling capability. 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord says, "I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point."

Promising review: "I went from using AirPod Pros to these. They’re honestly really good sound quality. I am surprised at how well they sound, considering I do audio engineering. Great replacement for Apple Airpod Maxes!!! Totally worth it — best purchase I’ve made in a while. PLUS!!! They’re so cute on. :)" —Hanna

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 

4. A cloud bath bomb that spits out rainbows when you throw it into the tub. This seems like it's too cool to be real, but review photos prove that some dreams do come true. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These bath bombs are so cute. There are four individually wrapped clouds inside a beautiful box. The packaging is very, very pretty, I could imagine these being really fun for kids to get them excited about a bath, or as a great gift for someone who loves unicorns and rainbows! They make a nice stream of rainbow bubbles as soon as placed in the water and fizz for about five minutes or so. All four clouds smells wonderful and the bath made my skin feel very soft from the shea butter." —Rahil Memon

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in multipacks).

5. A bottle of Boldify hair-building fibers, which cling to your strands to create a fuller effect. The particles temporarily "fill in" sparse areas on your head to give you thicker-looking hair in seconds. Seal it with hairspray, and it'll last all day!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

If you're in between two shades, try the darker option. To use, sprinkle over thinning areas on the crown or part line and pat it in. It'll wash out with your next shampoo. If you're not getting the desired effect, consider starting with this hairline powder as a base. 

Promising review: "I have AA 4c hair that I recently cut super short. When it was long, my thin spots around the hairline were concealed. So, with my hair short, they were apparent and made me self-conscious. I purchased Boldify with just a little skepticism. I am so glad I purchased it. The application is easy and does not stain clothing. Be careful not to scratch your head throughout the day because you will see the dark coloring under your fingernails. It is a large bottle for the price. I will continue to buy and recommend." —Jza Jza

Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes and a two-pack, and in 14 colors)

6. Fruity and floral tea made in Jeju Island, Korea featuring spring-forward flavors like cherry blossom, honey pear, and camellia flower. According to one reviewer, "the whole cup is a sip of spring."

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am sipping on a cup of the Honey Pear tea as I type this. I am supposed to be working, but this tea is so yummy, I would rather get paid (on the boss's dime) to talk about it. This tea has a unique flavor profile. I have never come across this combination of flavors before, but based on the description and reviews, I ordered a box. The pear is light and playful, while the honey adds sweetness. It tastes and smells like a sunny spring day in a cup. The tea is also full of flavor. The longer you steep it, the stronger the flavor. The tea bag is strong enough that you can re-steep the bag for a second cup. I could also see someone serving this tea chilled, unsweetened or sweetened. This is the best tea I have ever had. I would fly to Jeju Island itself for a box of this tea." —Monkfruit

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ for 20 bags (available in 13 flavors).

7. And acapybara mug— complete with a lil' orange hat! — to enjoy said tea in. What better way to start the day than with amazing company? 

Amazon

Promising review: "Bought as a gift, and they loved it! Great buy for sure." —Rosa

Get it from Amazon for $20.99.

8. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty favorite that promises intense hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees. With the help of a blend of oils (Moroccan argan, olive, jojoba, coconut, etc), it can help repair damaged hair and reduce frizz, even in hot, humid weather. It's so effective, reviewers compare it to the $46 Gisou version

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising reviews: "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

"This instantly made my hair feel soft and airy. I live in Florida where it gets pretty humid here and this product has made my hair more manageable. I will be gifting this serum for everyone in my family." —Monica

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

9. A cult-favorite luxury-scented candle reviewers love for its intoxicating and long-lasting smell (think: Le Labo's Santal 33). It has an impressive throw, meaning you can actually fill your home with its calming jasmine, oud, and sandalwood scent instead of having to stick your nose right up to the flame.

www.amazon.com

If you're wondering what oud is, think of the smell of fallen trees in the woods after a hard rain. 

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

Promising review: "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent. I even bought the shampoo and conditionerwhich I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me!" —Melissa I. 

Get it from Amazon for$19.95+ (available in seven sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).  

10. A Billie dermaplaning razor kit that will make quick work of peach fuzz, stray hairs, and eyebrows in need of a touch-up. Now, you can extend the time between threading appointments — or skip them altogether. They're designed with a cute reusable handle, making them less wasteful than competitors.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it! Just use some serum to get the razor glide without nicking your skin. 

Promising review: "I've tried so many facial hair removers, and this one has worked the best by far. Many of the battery-operated ones I've had would always leave hairs behind and didn't shave as closely as I wanted, so I had to redo it on a frequent basis. I've also had other dermaplane-type razors, and they weren't very sharp. Let me tell you...Billie is the bomb! It works beautifully. It shaves very close, leaving no hair behind. I have found that because of the closeness of the shave, you do not have to redo it as often. Spend a couple bucks more and GET THIS ONE! You will be so happy you did!" —Just Sparkle

Get it from Amazon for $10.39+ (available in two colors). 

11. A Japanese hori hori gardening knife sure to become the MVP of your gardening toolbox. The lightweight tool has a serrated side and straight edge, so you can dig, weed, slice roots, cut sod, and break up perennials. Deep-rooted dandelions and other summer weeds will see themselves out. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Experts call this gardening must-have "indispensable." Learn more about it from HuffPost's review

Promising review: "I use a lot of hand tools in the yard and garden. This is officially my favorite. It has so many functions and use is simple and easy! Perfect blade size to remove whole plants. It’s got a great handle, and you get a firm grip! The blade cuts, saws, allows you to gauge depth, and pushes easily into the soil! You will love this tool!" —WM

Get it from Amazon for $21.98.

12. A Lego cherry blossom kit for decor you can build yourself. The 430-piece set comes with everything you need to build two stems, and at less than $15, it's a steal compared to most Lego kits.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great afternoon activity. All of the flower Lego sets are great for a break and getting your mind off things. We have several different flower ones in a vase, and they all seem to fit nicely together." —Jeremy Moeller 

Get it from Amazon for $8.19

13. A pack of cold sore healing patches to zap painful blisters in record time. The hydrocolloid bandages keep the environment moist to speed up healing and prevent scabbing. They protect, conceal, and can lower the chance of you touching it and potentially giving yourself even more cold sores. 🤦‍♀️

www.amazon.com

While these do not contain antiviral medicine and cannot address the underlying cause of cold sores, studies show that hydrocolloid patches have a similar success rate to prescription acyclovir cream. Learn more at the National Library of Medicine

Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I've had and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies, and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time, and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours, and these cold sores are already healing beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three, so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill

Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $13.98 (also available as a pack of 30).

14. Onsen's nail and cuticle serum — it uses rice bran oil, Japanese seaweed, and shea butter to condition nails and add some shine. If your nails are absolutely wrecked from your last set of gel or acrylics — this is a must. Reviewers say it's super lightweight, so you can say goodbye to the days of oily cuticle creams that take approximately 84 years to absorb.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is witchcraft. My nails have always been brittle, flakey, and super prone to just breaking. Because of all that, I had the nasty habit of biting them. I didn’t take before or after but the image with no polish is just three days of use. My nails have been growing like [wild] since then and are stronger than ever in my life. The image with polish is about a month of use (once a day). Also it helped me to stop biting my nails. I can now do my own nails and shape them the way I want. Never in my life did I think I’d have nails I could shape myself. I don’t leave a lot of reviews, but trust me when I say this product is worth the hype. I’m definitely a returning customer." —Andrea

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

15. An electric scrubber with a nice handle so you can clean your kitchen sans wrist pain. The handy device will make quick work of your dirty pans, stove top, tile floors, or whatever else you'd prefer not to scrub by hand.

www.amazon.com

The two-speed runs for about three hours on a single USB-C charge. It comes with seven scrubber heads.

Promising review: "I recently got this handheld cleaning brush, and it made cleaning so much easier! It has two speed options, a clear battery display, and charges quickly with a USB-C cable. The different brush heads are great for different surfaces, and they’re super easy to swap out. I also love that it’s waterproof, so I can use it in the bathroom without worry. Overall, it’s lightweight, simple to use, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!" —Mplat

Get it from Amazon for $24.49.

16. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes just as well as the $33 Becca version. The lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed to blend seamlessly — check the drastic difference in the review photo! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of the 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." —Monica T. 

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

17. The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste that you can use to clean basically any surface — it works on everything from marble and wood to rubber boots and car steering wheels. Wasting time scrubbing will be a thing of the past. And the future? Sparkly clean items as far as the eye can see.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

18. A hair-lightening spray to brighten up hair by TWO shades or more! Spritz a little of this citrus and chamomile spray onto damp hair, then activate it with heat-styling tools. I recommend blow drying and hitting it with a curling iron or straightener for the best results. Over 7,000 5-star raters love it because it's less harsh than bleach and even works on dark hair.

www.amazon.com

The reviewer shown above went through a lot of product to get this result — expect something more subtle if you're planning on using it casually. 

Promising review: "Let the result speak for itself! On the left (above) is my UNBLEACHED Asian black hair, and on the right is my hair two months later. I'm trying to go blonde, but salons estimated the total cost for three sessions of intense bleaching and coloring to be in the thousands...so no, thank you. I took matters into my hands and so far am happy with spraying this every time after washing my hair. Also, make sure you tone your hair with purple shampoo if it gets brassy. LOVE. THE. PRODUCT!!!" —Linh Trinh An

Get it from Amazon for $10.97.

19. A viral "Soft" perfume rollerball for anyone who wants people to think of them and think "yum." Reviewers compare this ~$6 fragrance to caramel, lemon cupcakes, warm vanilla scones, cotton candy, and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar!  

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 $5.45 (also available in a chocolatey scent). 

20. A lightweight gel cream from Nivea with powerful Q10 that helps plump, firm, and moisturize skin in as little as two weeks with consistent use. Over 1,400 reviewers are happy with their results!

www.amazon.com

The brand recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 helps benefit the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured." —Morgan

Get it from Amazon for $13.98.

21. Or a Medix retinol body lotion because if retinol works so well for your face, it's gotta do wonders for the rest of your body too. With the help of ferulic acid, it encourages skin cell turnover to help tighten and firm skin. One 5-star reviewer (out of 4,700+) called it a life-changing find! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this lotion. It makes my dry legs glow. Absorbs well and has a very light fresh scent that fades quickly. Not greasy, but effective. Will buy again. Inexpensive given the size of the bottle." —Db01

Get it from Amazon for$19.99 (also available in two-pack and six other styles).

22. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable, they're also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet will demand you wear these every single day. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in a similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin

Get them from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles).

23. A Skin1004 Zombie Pack to bring your skin back to life in a good, non-horror movie way. The mask tightens as it dries, creating a fun undead look (just like the more expensive Hanacure). When you wash it off, you might be pleasantly surprised to see bouncier, more hydrated skin. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This mask is made with albumin, a component from eggs that helps moisturize skin. It claims to help tighten pores, hydrate, promote elasticity, remove dead skin, and balance pH. To use, mix the included powder and liquid together with a brush. Spread the mixture evenly over your face and leave until it begins to dry. Wash after 10 or 15 minutes, and enjoy your freshly hydrated face! 

Promising review: "I was gifted the Hanacure masks and loved them, but they're just way too pricey. I heard SO many wonderful things about the Skin 1004 zombie mask, and at about $2.50 a pop, why not?! Let me tell you, this mask is just straight-up magic. I didn't notice any changes to my skin immediately, but a few hours later, when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I've never noticed a difference like this. Hanacure who?!?? don't get me wrong, the Hanacure mask is amazing and magical, too, but it's expensive and impossible to maintain the twice-weekly mask schedule recommended. This Zombie mask is every bit as magical with better results in my opinion. And it's super funny. A lot of the reviews mention a bad smell, which I was worried about, but I didn't notice a smell, and I'm so sensitive to smell I can't use scented lotions, lip balms, etc. Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure both price and results wise." —Dana Dane

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $18.50 (also available in multipacks).

24. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil, a viral sensation proving that seeing is believing: Reviewers say they could actually watch the gunk leaving their skin. It dissolves makeup, attacks blackheads, and works to remove excess sebum without stripping away natural oils, drying out your skin, or using any dark magic. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The heartleaf extract soothes sensitive and acne-prone skin. The brand recommends you follow this up with a foaming cleanser!

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 two to three minutes, I could visibly see my 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 Cagle

Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

25. A pair of crossover flared leggings providing a silhouette so enticing, you'll find yourself getting distracted every time you see your reflection. If the 5,800+ happy reviewers are to be believed, these pants are so comfortable, you'll be asking questions like, "can I wear these to a wedding?" 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a pair of the Aerie crossover flare leggings, and those are worn out, so I decided to purchase another pair because I can’t live without my flares! Y'all, these leggings are the truth!! I have never seen such a great [alternative] for the Aerie ones. They feel like butter soft on your skin and have the same durability and thickness, even the same stitching!! Save your money and get these!!!" —Jasmine

Get them from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, two inseams, and 32 colors).

26. And a super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wasn't seeing many pictures of small-chested ladies, so I was a little worried about how this would fit. Purchased X-Small, and it fits perfectly! The straps stay in place, don't look weird with the bra cups, and it is form-fitting in the back. I hate tank tops that have a big gap in the back. This one does not. It goes down to about my belly button. I wanted something similar to the Lululemon Align, but this is well worth it instead! It is not tight at all, does not dig in, and is super breathable. I am thrilled with this purchase!" —olivia schilling

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 

27. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face. Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products. 

Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick

Get it from Amazon for $14.99

28. A powerful callus remover in case your heels are looking a little too much like a desert. Just marinate your feet in the gel for 5–10 minutes, then follow up with a foot rasp. The smooth result will make even babies jealous. 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I don’t remember the last time I wrote a positive review on a product! This gel was amazing. My feet are baby smooth, and I’m very satisfied with this product; I would recommend this to anybody! True results with just ONE application. Buy it, seriously you will not regret it." –april

"I cannot believe how well this product works. My husband has, by far, the worst calluses I’ve ever seen. After some persuading, he le me give him a pedicure using this product. The results are unreal. I would give this product 10 stars if I could." —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents; also available as a two-pack or with a file).

29. Hadalabo Gokujun Hyaluronic Lotion Moist — a J-beauty classic loved for its gentle formula (three types of hyaluronic acid!) that hydrates, absorbs easily, and works to protect the skin barrier. If you're not from Japan or deep in Reddit skincare threads, you might have missed this, quite frankly, must-try find. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This works kind of like an essence, so you should apply it after cleansing your face and before moisturizing. 

Promising review: "I use this every day and it keeps my skin moisturized, firm, and with a glassy look. I used to buy luxury Korean products but never again, I have never been so happy for a product that is so cheap." —Mpb

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

30. A set of hair bands with metal chains that can pass as fine jewelry when you wear them on your wrist. They come in trendy links like paperclip, cable, and curb, so yeah, people are going to be hounding you with compliments. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are great! If you have long hair, they are outstanding! And they look wonderful! Can also be worn as a bracelet when you’re not wearing it in your hair!" —Tiffany

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two finishes). 

31. E.l.f Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. No one likes having to scrub their eyes raw trying to get off waterproof makeup. :( 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

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

BuzzFeed writerEmma Lord loves this mascara and says: "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).

32. A layered necklace set featuring three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even your dog-walking uniform.

Promising reviews: "I have tried many different types of foam and mousse, but this is my holy grail. I plop my hair in a microfiber wrap for about 10 min, scrunch out any excess water, section my hair into two sections, and apply four pumps of this mousse to each section, scrunching each time. Once it’s applied, I squeeze my hair once more with my microfiber and diffuse on low heat until it’s 80% dry, and I’m left with lovely curls. I apply no other products, just my shampoo, conditioner, and this mousse. :)" —Ashes

34. A 3D-printed mini turtle sandbox desk toy complete with play sand, a mini rake, a tiny shovel, and two sandcastle molds. Some reviewers added some extra miniatures to up the cuteness. I would pay $1,000 for something this cute, so I'm glad I don't have to.

35. Medicube’s collagen jelly because your face deserves a dessert-like treat, too! Hydrolyzed collagen (collagen that's broken into smaller segments for better skin absorption) works to keep your skin feeling firm, bouncy, and ready to join the #glassskin trend. It also has superstar niacinamide to protect and improve your skin barrier for an added glow.

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this product. I have dry skin, and this helps plump everything. I use it as the last step in my daytime routine, and it feels like it locks all my serums and toners in. At night, I put a thicker moisturizer on top, and it helps hydrate my skin while I sleep. The texture is so unusual and I love using the spatula to frost my face with it. I also love the fragrance, and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.98.

36. Stained glass window film you might be able to pass as the real thing — at least at first glance. It's also the coolest version of privacy film I've ever seen, so it's worth it even if you don't trick your neighbors.

The window cling is adhesive free and easy to remove. 

Promising review: "It's beautiful and installation was really easy. I love it. It is wonderful!!! The pattern changes color as the sun passes throughout the day. Really pretty." —Lily Fred

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+(available in five sizes and 17 designs). 

37. A TikTok-belovedBio-Collagen Real Deep mask that lets you literally get some "beauty sleep." The sleep mask's oligo-hyaluronic acid works to leave your face feeling refreshed and glowy, even if you didn't get your full nine hours. The mask turns transparent after 3-ish hours as it's absorbed into the skin, and loads of reviewers mention visible results after just one treatment. 

www.amazon.com

Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week.

Promising reviews: "Yes!!! Finally a mask that I can feel and see working, and with results that last. I have sensitive dry skin, live in a very dry climate, and even with drinking insane amounts of water and using a humidifier — my skin never feels hydrated. I used ONE of these masks so far four days ago and my skin still feels hydrated and soft. Initially, I thought I’d have to use another one right away to give myself a hydrating boost, but I truly think one a week will be enough." —A. Myers

"I LOVE this mask!! I'll be ordering them to give to my friends for Mother's Day!! After just one use, my skin was more plump, very smooth, and hydrated! By far the best mask I have ever tried!! I'll be stocking up on these bad boys!! 🙌❤️🙌" —Victoria

Promising review: "I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great and with the price point, I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" —Jessica M

Promising reviews: "I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works and it works fast!" —puppbear

"I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body [and] it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner." —Michaella Leyein

Amazon

Promising review: "I got this as a stocking stuffer for my girlfriend, and it now lives on her desk at the nurses' station to amuse her and her coworkers on slow days or when they need a break from the seriousness of the hospital. Even the non-cat people loved it!" —Alex G. Gann
