My coworker Emma Lord has and loves this: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"
Promising review: "Love this! Adds just a touch of color, which is what I wanted, and is nicely moisturizing, too." —Joan Modisette

Promising reviews: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith

Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories.
Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch satin pillowcase in action.
Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" —Amazon Customer 🌷

Loryn Brantz is a former BuzzFeeder, mom-of-two, and currently works with Ms. Rachel! She's absolutely brilliant in this book (and all of her others, my kids love Blanket) and totally nails what it's like to be a parent in 2025. I can open any page in this and giggle or tear up — each poem is relatable but unique. I keep it on my desk for when I need a quick pick-me-up and plan to buy it for my closest mom friends for Mother's Day.
Promising review: "This book moved me deeply. It echoed so many of my own thoughts and experiences in such a tender, thoughtful way. Some poems made me laugh, others brought me to tears—but all of them reminded me of the rich, messy, wonderful humanity of parenting. A true gem that I’ll revisit often." —Mariah Menzie

Blossom is a small business!
Promising review: "Absolutely love this cuticle oil. I operate heavy machinery for a living, and even wearing gloves all the time, my hands, especially cuticles, dry out and crack and hurt. This oil only takes a little to go a long way. I got the 🍍 and it smells great. Most importantly, I have noticed a change in just a few short days. I first found out about the product because my nail salon uses it for every mani!" —Alicia S.

Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" —Linda Holloway

It is easy to blend, perfectly pigmented, and convenient to carry around in your purse. The price point is great, and I highly recommend this product if you’re looking for a new, easy-to-use eyeshadow stick." —Sho

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly owns and loves this bag! She said, "I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors."
Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it’s true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." —Jolie

I have this umbrella in the peacock pattern and love it. I'm historically not a fan of using umbrellas — I hate how they're hard to open and drippy after you're done with them. That being said, this one opens and closes with the click of a button! It's not huge, so shaking it off isn't much of a hassle. And...it's cute!
Get it from Amazon for $38 (available in four styles).
American Eagle
BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes tried this beauty out, "I've been searching for the perfect black mini skirt for so long and it seems I'm not alone, because I first came across this skort on TikTok where one creator was singing its praises. I promptly headed to my local American Eagle to try it on and ended up grabbing it in both black and white, and have already been wearing it a ton. I'm a pear shape with much wider hips and butt than my waist, and it sits perfectly with no noticeable gapping. It's the perfect length — not too long or short — and the shorts underneath are super comfortable and do not ride up while walking. Oh, and the fabric is this lightweight knit material that's perfect for spring/summer but also works well over thicker tights for added warmth. My only complaint is that this skort doesn't come in more colors, because I'd buy them all!"

Promising review: "This is actually the first time I decided to buy sunglasses online without trying them first, but honestly, it was a great decision. They look exactly like in the pictures and did fit perfectly. Worked great during my trip to Puerto Rico, so def would buy again." —Marta

Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!).
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

Promising review: "Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have 'dirt' as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option." —Jen M

They've got a 3.5-inch chunky heel.
Promising review: "Amazingly comfortable. I was very skeptical when I bought this pair of heels. I thought I had to return them as they might not be comfortable. I have wide feet, so I thought they might not work, but I want to try it. Wowww!!! They blew my mind, and they are very comfortable. I ordered size 8.5, and they fit me well, especially my wide feet. They’re adorable and very comfortable. The material might not last me for years, but it gave me a beachy feeling, which I love. I totally recommend these shoes. They don’t hurt my feet at all." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "For fans of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this is a must-have. This book is so useful for finding secrets, passing levels, getting new things, etc. For me, it has been totally worth buying the book and even more with the hardcover since it has a texture on it. The quality is very good, and it has excellent images and information about the game." —mrnalarcon11

I wore this in Deep Blue to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and anyone who is *in the know* will understand just how much thought goes into choosing an outfit for that occasion. I originally was going to go channel "Lavender Haze" with my sister in this top (pictured, left) that is very similar but a little more low cut (my sister wore it instead!). I went with a Midnights x Folklore vibe (IYKYK), and this shirt was exactly what I needed to pair with my cardigan. The material felt almost bathing suit–like and was super stretchy (excellent for anyone who, like me, is rather busty). I liked that I could wear a bralette with it and that it wasn't see-through. Can totally see ordering this in other colors for the summer!
Promising review: 'You know that TikTok sound that goes 'If I like it, I'll just grab it in another color. If I like it, and they have another color, I'll just grab it, and so on. That was written about this top. It's so comfortable, and I can confidently wear it sans-bra (I'm a 34F for reference, so that is a BIG deal for me - it never happens!). Consider every other color grabbed!" —Meghan J
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 32 colors).
I have these and use them to blend my concealer — they work great, are easy to clean, and come with enough in the pack that I had zero hesitation giving my mom keep one for herself.
Promising review: "I’m a professional makeup artist and I can seriously tell you I will never switch again! These sponges are by far better than the leading brands like Beauty Blenders, Real Techniques etc. They are not stiff which makes the makeup apply beautifully and seamlessly. My favorite way to use them is to wet them and wring them out. Order them ASAP! You won’t regret it :)" —Mabel

BuzzFeed writer Mallory Moweris a big fan! She said, "This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! All the wild customer images sold me (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic."
Promising review: "I have to be honest, for a 'cheap' three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much." —Liz

Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly

Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on-the-go.
Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I use it a lot outside of travel, too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards, and it turned into a versatile stand that I could place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far, it still feels solid, and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil
Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in a bunch of colors and packs of two).
Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase, and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent, and the sauce cups clip easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela

The headphones connect via Bluetooth and have 33 feet of wireless range (meaning your phone doesn't have to be right next to you). The controls are on the forehead, which makes it comfortable for back and side sleepers, and they are made to block out ambient noise.
Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and since I have so much trouble finding quality headphones I decided to try it. I’m very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these. I’m able to fall asleep to my music or podcast without having to limit myself to sleeping on my back or losing an ear bud in my bed in the middle of the night. It makes working out easier as well. The value is worth the quality. I would recommend." —Thunder Muffin

Promising reviews: "I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn’t believe they didn’t have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!" —PM
"I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour staying power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy

Icebreaker is a Texas-based small business estabished in 2020 by Danish engineer Kim Jensen.
Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self-contained and easy to use: fill it up with water (but be careful not to overfill because it expands as it freezes. Physics!), seal the top, and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull it apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" —Leah Koepp

I took the plunge and ordered this lil' kit and it was SO easy to use. My first attempt (pictured above) took literally two seconds to do. My bread was on the smaller side, but it still produced a perfect crust-less PB&J!
Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with!
