41 Endlessly Helpful Beauty Products You’ll Never Want To Let Run Out This Summer

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-07-30 05:04

1. Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Body Butter made with shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado oil to hydrate after overdoing it in the sun. Reviewers say it smells great (like coconut) and helps prevent peeling or dryness. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Smells so good, like a tropical island. Applies nicely and absorbs well into skin, not greasy or oily. A little goes a long way, so you don't need to worry about overapplication for it to work. You need to add this to your sun care routine; even if you don't have a sunburn, the moisture is great on the skin after a long day in the sun!" —Rosa

"I burn very easily and rely on a good after-sun product to prevent peeling and to help soothe my irritated skin. After trying this product, I'll never try anything else. This is moisturizing, but lightweight and not overly greasy. This after-sun butter has worked better than other name-brand aloe gels I've tried in the past. It smells great, and the jar lasts forever. I would recommend to a friend." —Johnnie

Get it from Amazon for $11.49.

2. Nyx matte setting spray that offers all-day protection just like MAC and Urban Decay's setting sprays, but without the upsettingly high price tag. The fine mist locks makeup in place and dries matte, so you can preserve your look even when the sun is trying to melt it off your face. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of Kleenex. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I’ve used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in dewy and radiant finishes, and a jumbo size).

3. Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush offering some light coverage (and extra sun protection on top of your normal sunscreen) that won't weigh you down on hot days. Most intriguing: Reviewers are using this on their scalp and hairline because YES scalp burns can happen and NO we're not putting goopy sunscreen in our hair. It's also wayyy cheaper than the $69 Colorescience version.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Wish I would have found this sooner! Works great and so far the cheapest option I have found for powder sunscreen. Love that my face isn’t greasy anymore from normal sunscreen!" —Michelle

"I have fine hair so anytime I’m in the sun I get burnt on my scalp. Regular sunscreen make my hair super oily and gross and I cannot stand wearing hats. I'm so glad I found this. You do have to apply it more often, and also it doesn’t work if it gets wet. Love this stuff, it's such a lifesaver." —james

Get it from Amazon for$16.99

4. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser with a fan club of 18,000+ happy customers who appreciate the affordable alternative to Tatcha Rice Wash. This gentle, hydrating cleanser can remove waterproof makeup, dirt, and even stubborn sunscreen to leave your face feeling dewy and fresh. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have combination skin and the Tatcha Rice Wash is the only thing I can use. I was gonna spend my last few dollars on the Tatcha, but then I saw this. With the price, I thought if it doesn’t work, it isn’t a huge deal. I’m never going back, this is like the exact same thing, and you barely need any, the scent is the only difference besides it being a bit thicker, BUT THAT'S GOOD because it’s BARELY thicker, AND that means even less goes a much longer way. This is a holy grail item. If you haven’t tried it, I soooo highly recommend." —Lingaling

"Love this!! I’ve tried so many other face washes, and I either got an allergic reaction or stripped my face too much. This face wash cleans gently and leaves my face feeling soft and clean. I will never use anything else." —Catwoman09

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). 

5. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil, a perfect first step in your double cleansing routine. It dissolves makeup and sunscreen, attacks blackheads, and works to remove excess sebum without stripping away natural oils or drying out your skin. Gross but intriguing: Reviewers say that they could actually see the gunk leaving their skin. 

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! This has 12,000+ 5-star ratings. 

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,t clean scent. Not super strong! #glassskinera" —Myshel Cagle

Get it from Amazon for $17.69.

6. An instant foot peeling spray that will show dead skin the door. Just spray the coconut and aloe-infused formula and rub away the layer of skin that begins to peel off. You'll feel like a snake shedding its skin, but unlike a snake, you'll have a pair of fresh, soft feet to show off. 

www.amazon.com

www.amazon.com

Use this treatment two or three times a week — one dose for fine to medium textured hair, two to three doses for thick to curly textured hair, and add one more dose if you have long hair. 

Promising review: "Bought this not expecting that it would work. I've been using products in and on my hair for years, both expensive and inexpensive. This is the best I've used, bar none! It smooths and takes away the tightness of the curls. Will buy it again and again!" —Judith Cohen

Get it from Amazon for $10.97.

8. Or a deep-conditioning hair mask promising smoother, shinier, and stronger hair, even if you're fighting against bleached, dry, or damaged locks. It can even handle Florida levels of humidity

www.amazon.com

Soak your hair in this elixir for 30ish minutes up to three times a week. It works for all hair types. 

Promising review: "I just can't believe the difference in my hair!!! I'm in my '60s, and my hair was dry and dull because of my medications. I just hated my hair. I bought this not expecting too much, but was I wrong!!!! I left it on for 30 minutes because I wanted the best result possible. Wow!! My hair feels wonderful, it's fuller and thicker looking, body galore, and I just can't quit looking at my hair. I will NEVER quit using this!!!" —lucymae

Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

9. Black Girl Sunscreen's Make It Pop Sungloss with SPF 50 to moisturize and give your pout a summery pop. Wear it alone or over your favorite lipstick — either way, your lips will be protected. Have you ever seen sunburnt lips? You do NOT want that. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black-owned small business that specializes in sun-protective products that don't leave a white cast. 

Promising review: "Best SPF lip gloss I’ve tried at a price you can’t beat. It keeps your lips moisturized long after it’s applied and has no white cast. I also have fairly sensitive skin and this has yet to cause any irritation on my lips which is a huge plus. It's generally impossible to find SPF 50 in any lip product, let alone in a gloss — I will purchase again for sure." —Ashlee Meckler

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

10. Liyalan shimmer body oil so you can feel like an iridescent pearl fresh from the ocean. If you're looking to add some sun-kissed dimension to your look, just apply this moisturizing formula to your skin with your hands or a makeup brush

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Reviewers say the shimmer comes off easily in the shower, but to watch out for it transferring to clothing. 

Promising review: "Absolutely love this product! I used it not only as a body highlighter but also mixed a bit into my sunscreen oil — and the results were stunning. It gave my skin a beautiful, subtle glow with just the right amount of shimmer. Perfect for summer or any time you want that radiant, sun-kissed look. The scent is lovely, and it blends in smoothly without feeling greasy. I will definitely be buying this again!" —EliZaBeth

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

12. A coconut lip scrub that uses jojoba and avocado oil to help soften lips and leave them smelling like a tropical getaway. Name a scent more summery than coconut. I'll wait! 

Amazon

Promising review: "Bought this on a whim, but no regrets! It smells delicious! The smell reminds me of toasted almonds and almond cookies! I used the lip scrub before bed, and I could immediately tell the difference. My lips are smoother and softer, and my ChapStick lasts much longer on my lips. I made my husband use it once, and his lips were also much smoother and super soft after one use!" —Cowie

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other scents).

13. 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 reviewer says they're obsessed with Medix's whole line of lotions.

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 on winter skin. 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).

14. Or 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 18,000 5-star raters are happy with their results!

www.amazon.com

The brand recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 benefits 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.

15. A Laura Geller color-correcting powder foundation offering light coverage that blends in easily, so beginners and those looking for something low maintenance can throw it on and go. Check out how glowy these reviewers look!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been wanting to try this for a long time, and I'm sooo glad I finally purchased the medium shade. It covers everything perfectly without even looking like I'm wearing any foundation at all. I'm 64, and my skin is combination oily/normal. This is the best product I have ever used, including Lancome, Tarte, Charlotte Tilbury, and Clinique. Doesn't go into wrinkles and stays flawless all day." —Laura

Get it from Amazon for $17.29+ (available in 16 shades).

16. A set of pearlescent gel polishes to help you enter your mermaid era without dropping a fortune at the salon. The shimmery colors are showstoppers on their own, but some talented reviewers added bubbles and designs on top for an extra wow factor.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Grab a UV lamp to cure your nails here.

Promising review: "I'm super happy with these colors. They apply well and aren't sticky once cured. Since it's iridescent, you do have to work with it a little more, so the brush strokes aren't super obvious. Other than that, the colors are stunning! Used one of the pinks for a beachy set for a beach trip!" —Karla

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in 22 other colorways). 

17. A waterproof Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that 51,500+ reviewers confirm is lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — even if someone pushes you in the pool. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this brand of mascara. The waterproof formula does not budge. It stays on 'til you take it off. Best waterproof mascara I've ever used by far. The price is also incredible!" —Cindy P

www.amazon.com

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). 

19. A L'Oreal glow-enhancing lotion that'll have you feeling like the Baby Sun from Teletubbies. Mix this glycerin-infused illuminator with your favorite moisturizer or foundation, wear it as a makeup base, or use it as a highlighter for that coveted lit-from-within look. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love, love, love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile. It can be worn alone to put some glowy life to the skin. Add to foundation or layer it. Beautiful. Use it as a base wear you put highlighter on top. Mix some with moisturizer. This, in my opinion, is better than so many high-luxury brands that make similar products. And I am pretty sure it can be used by all skin types. It’s not oily feeling at all and it doesn’t dry out skin either. Just a total package. Can’t beat the price either." —Figgy08

Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades).

Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in 46 shades).

21. A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors that will make quick work of peach fuzz, stray hairs, and eyebrows in need of a touch-up. They're designed with micro-guards, which means you don't have to worry about nicking yourself, even if you don't have the steadiest hand. Reviewers love that you can extend the time between threading appointments — or skip them altogether. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!

Promising review: "These products have been a fantastic find for me. They're exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin, easy to handle, and they hardly leave any marks. Whenever I forget a touch-up on my eyebrows before heading to work, I always have them in my emergency bag, ready for a quick fix. They work effortlessly without needing additional oils or creams. It's truly the perfect solution for busy individuals on the go." —nikita khandheria

Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.99.

22. Veet sensitive hair removal gel kindly providing a soothing, gentle alternative to razors or waxing. The aloe-infused formula works in under 10 minutes by dissolving hair on your legs, arms, back, and bikini area. It's designed to be more efficient and reduce the risk of ingrown hairs — imagine a world without those annoying bumps! 48,000+ 5-star raters are already experiencing it.

Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky.

23. Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream for curls so bouncy you'll be jumping for joy (and to show them off).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal says, "My hair is the ~perfect~ combo of wavy, curly, and frizzy and this drugstore product has been a holy grail of mine for some time. I've found that it's the only formula that will give me soft, naturally curly waves come the a.m. and since I'm generally a nighttime hair washer, I have the perfect excuse to avoid blasting my hair with heat. Before hitting the pillow, I like to run my fingers through my towel-dried hair with a pea-sized amount of this, flip my mane over, and then give the ends a good scrunch. In the morn, my hair appears shiny with defined, wavy curls — we're not talking HD — but they have a nice, soft definition to them that doesn't require much styling."

Promising review: "Absolutely love this stuff! It's the one hair product I have to have. I rotate shampoos and conditioners but have never found anything to put on damp hair that I like as much as this. It says it's for curls, but works great on straight hair too. I have had super straight to very curly over the years and have loved this on all hair styles." —Bunco Queen of the Universe

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in two styles).

24. Or Lottabody Wrap Me Curl Mousse, a whipped-cream-like delight that defines curls, moisturizes with shea and coconut oil, and tackles frizz.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This works best for wavy and curly hair. Check out its result on TikTok

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

Get it from Amazon for $3.98

25. Kojic acid dark spot remover soap that harnesses the power of iconic ingredients hyaluronic acid, retinol, shea butter, vitamin E, and Castile olive oil to hydrate and diminish the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and blemishes.

Quick, someone hand me a tank top — it's time to show these pits off! 

www.amazon.com

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

26. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a green-tinted formula that combats redness through the power of color theory. It doesn't stop there — it also works to even complexion, hydrate with vitamin E, and set the perfect stage for you to apply your makeup on. Turns out you don't have to drop $50+ on Dr Jart+'s Cicapair Color Correcting Cream

www.amazon.com

This starts green and blends into a "universal shade," which may not be a perfect match for fair or dark skin. 

Promising review: "I swear by this. Been using it for about a year now, it goes on every day and gets all the redness off my face, when I’m in a hurry I just top it off with alittle powder and I’m done but it’s a perfect base layer for any makeup routine if you had a lot of redness like I do." –Andrea

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes and also other styles).

28. A Revlon volcanic face roller way easier to use than those disposable blotting pads. You just roll the volcanic stone over any oily or sweaty areas on your face and then pop it in your bag for later. It doesn't even mess with your makeup!

Just twist the ring to pop out the stone, then wash it with a mild soap/cleanser and let it air dry after every use. This roller has 38,000+ 5-star ratings! 

Promising review: "This little miracle worker is a game-changer for oily skin like mine. I am amazed at how much oil it absorbs without smudging or removing any of my makeup.

MAGIC!!" —Jason Zapata

Get it from Amazon for $7.75 (also available in rose quartz style).

29. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a TikTok-hall-of-famer that almost 7,500 5-star reviews confirm is worth the hype. The biotin-infused serum can help strengthen hair and encourage new growth, leaving hair feeling healthier and fuller. Reviewers say it's helped with everything from receding hairlines to sparse eyebrows. I wouldn't blame you if you left your sun hat behind so you can show off your new 'do.

My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow, just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I’ve been using it only once a week, just a few drops and massaging in. Omg, how can anything be so simple and yet so effective!!! Amazing! Amazing!!! Whoever invented this, hats off!!" —Dee 

Get it from Amazon for $9.33

30. An easy-to-apply, one-hour self-tanner that's cheaper yet more effective than most competitors. The vegan formula is easy to blend without streaks or uneven patches, which makes it a hit with beginners. While the tan may be instant, the fade is nice and gradual. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: “If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I’ve used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!” —Amazon Customer

Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith

www.amazon.com, Amazon

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually, I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it were bigger; it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 14 shades, a jumbo size, and multipacks).

33. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup and sunscreen 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

34. A box of Grace & Stella under-eye masks formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin to give your eye bags the shot of hydration they need to get up and GO. Reviewers said the refreshing patches helped them reduce puffiness, redness, and dark circles. Summer spa day, anyone?

Promising review: "I have tried many eye masks through the years and was pleasantly surprised by this product. It's worth the hype. I'm a skincare lover and have spent tens of thousands on skin products, including LED red light masks, infrared saunas, and every new facial device that has come along, including high-end skincare and everything in between. I have eye bags and hollows, and these do a phenomenal job at plumping and hydrating the under-eye area. Great quality and quantity for the price. I will be repurchasing." —Nvohpa88

Promising review: "My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It’s not only soothing, but it also feels like it’s really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus!

Promising review: "Finally a sunscreen that doesn’t make my face itch all day! Sure wish they would bring the price down. Love how it blends in and is soft and moisturizing. I’m 59 and this goes on smooth and doesn’t ball up under my makeup." —Melony

37. Or a bottle of Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen, a classic option with almost 14,000 5-star ratings thanks to its uncannily sheer appearance. This sweat-resistant formula has SPF 40 and glides onto your skin like a gel. It's super lightweight *and* can be used as a makeup primer.

BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown loves this sunscreen option: 

"I've been using this sunscreen at least once daily since my mom gifted it to me two Christmases ago, and have every intention to keep using it for years. A dime-size amount covers my entire face, because it's translucent it leaves absolutely no white cast, and 10 minutes after putting it on, my face just feels like I applied a little bit of a nice moisturizer or makeup primer, not anything that's grease-central, like sunscreen usually is. After several years of stubbornly trying (and failing) to find a decent, oily-skin-friendly, non-greasy drugstore option, I've caved to this pricier kind because literally none of the six or seven other options I tried even compared to this.  

Every time I've worn makeup since I got it, I've been impressed by the way my matte foundation glides over it, looks with it, and lasts with it. You can see the texture and color in the photo above; it really does go on completely clear. And it's water- and sweat-resistant for 40 minutes!" 

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes and two SPFs).

38. 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.

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.

39. Brazilian Bum Bum body cream loved by Zoomers (and 40,000+ 5-star raters) for its incredible smell and powerful hydration powers. The formula uses caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to firm and moisturize skin, leaving it glowing and smelling like the very essence of summer.

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do. You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I bought this for the first time a few years ago to replace the body lotion I had previously used for years and years. While more expensive, I was willing to try Bum Bum cream based on the previous reviews. And it has not disappointed! Not too thick. Not sticky. And the smell is amazing. I get told many times a week how good I smell." —Libby Solomon

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes).

40. A pomade hair wax stick for flattening those annoying flyaway hairs on the back of your neck or around your hairline. Just slide the formula over targeted areas to control cowlicks, baby hair, frizz, and other wayward strands. Outdoor dining, boat excursions, boardwalk strolls, and other windy events are suddenly less of a headache: Just ask the 4,300+ 5-star reviewers who swear by this stuff.

Promising reviews: "I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I’m not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it’s a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don’t need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." —Blanca Perez

"I have 4a-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others which to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways however were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say, you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy product. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." —Jay

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).

41. A nail and cuticle oil to bring life back to your damaged nails, even if you did something really bad like — gasp! — peel off a gel manicure. This formula will get your nails back in tip-top shape and ready for that seashell nail art you had in mind.

www.amazon.com

This oil has jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E to help promote strong nails and soften cuticles. 

Promising review: "I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month, religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out, and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big four-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" —Diana

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
