I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

1. Astuffed waffle maker glorious enough to finally bring all the remaining pancake-truthers to the light. On their first try, reviewers have created delicious masterpieces like chicken-stuffed waffles (duh), PB&J waffles, pizza waffles (!!), and even brownies stuffed with cookie dough (omg). And when you need a break from making your wildest dreams come true, it makes a super fluffy, classic waffle, too. 😋

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" —Adirondackdarling

Get it from Amazon for$49.99 (also available as a two-pack). 

2. A limited-edition Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment that, yes, is as scrumptious as it sounds. If you can refrain from licking it off every time you apply, it has a hydrating blend of cocoa, shea, *and* avocado butter that'll have your pout feeling extra plump. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatmentin action. 

Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Get it from Amazon for $4.97 (also available in Strawberry Acai, a set with a lip scrub, and other multi-flavor packs). 

3. An almost-too-adorable Tradlands smocked dress I am asking you to pleasseeee frolic around a meadow in immediately! I will also accept you wearing it on a Sunday market stroll, or a romantic picnic date — this beauty is vers- 👏 -a- 👏 -tile! It's made of a high-quality linen and cotton blend, and has comfy, unrestrictive waist and puff sleeve details so you feel easy-breezy all summer long! And... it has pockets! 🎉 

Tradlands

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Ashley Schumacher can vouch for this brand: "I LOVE Tradlands. They focus on high-quality staples, thoughtful design, and making products that will last. It's the opposite of fast fashion, and their pieces can follow you from this trip, and your next, and your next. Currently wearing my beloved alpaca cardigan as I type this because I'm that obsessed. For real life." 

Promising reviews: "Love the dress! The red color is beautiful. I also love the smocking — normally, maxi-flowy dresses just eat me up, but with a fitted bodice, I get the best of both worlds: a comfortable dress that suits my body. Not too big and not restrictive either."—Nimue

"I love this dress! The model photos don’t show this, but it also works beautifully off the shoulder. I wore it to a formal event, and despite the casual fabric, the shape and color looked formal enough that I didn’t feel out of place. I can see myself wearing it in my everyday life too, and I love that versatility (because I didn’t want to buy a formal dress, I would only wear it a couple of times per year). The pockets make it extra comfortable and practical. This was my first Tradlands purchase, and I’m super impressed." —Mia

Get it from Tradlands for $188 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and six colors/patterns).

4. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream if your neck and chest are starting to get just a *bit* jealous of the five-step routine you're lovingly applying to your face every night. This nonscented, nongreasy formula is infused with salicylic acid (gentle exfoliation!) and can reduce the look of crepey skin by helping with firmness, texture, and elasticity. Plus, it also contains glycerin and aloe, which add a boost of hydration, too! 

www.amazon.com

Reviewers are also super impressed by how fast it works! 

Check out a TikTok of Gold Bond in action. 

Promising review: "I am a lotion user every single day. I use face moisturizers that I love. I am over the moon by how good this is. I mainly use it on my neck, hands, and forearms. The difference is amazing. My skin actually feels so good. I wish I could but larger containers of it." —Kimberly P. 

Get it from Amazon for $11.84 (also available as a three-pack). 

5. A Kuumba Made Vanilla Bean roll-on fragrance oil with what reviewers describe as a *true* creamy vanilla scent — not floral, not fruity, just a warm and subtle sweetness that'll leave you smelling like warm cookies and dessert. The cozy, long-lasting fragrance also doesn't overpower, so it layers *very* nicely with other perfumes. Say hello to your new scent of the season! 👋 

Amazon

Kuumba Made is a small business that specializes in roll-on scents. 

Promising reviews: "Warm, creamy vanilla scent. Not overpowering at all. It’s one of those perfume oils you can’t smell on yourself, but others can. You don’t need to use very much on your pulse points… just dab and don't rub into skin. Yes, the bottles are small for the price, but I don’t mind paying the price because this smells like grown-up vanilla, you don’t need a lot and I’ve had oils from this company many times and they never disappoint." —SLewis

"Smells so good! Stays on all day. Not super oily like others I have tried. So many compliments!!" —Jose Castro

Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in two sizes). 

6. ACinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust the pastry pixies themselves must have created, because this magical concoction will transform all your bakes. And when you've run out of pies and cookies to sprinkle it on, it's *chef's kiss* on oatmeal, popcorn, and coffee, too! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We absolutely love using this in our morning coffee. It’s also great for sugar toast, but we mostly use it as a cute little topper for our coffee to elevate it." —Risa 

Get it from Amazon for $3.99+(available in three sizes and a four-pack). 

7. Some waterproofsolar-powered outdoor lantern lightsthat'll become your BFFs this summer for the sheer amount of ~ambiance~ they bring to the party. Your porch light will never achieve the warm, comfortable glow these beauties can emit. And with how much time you're spending outdoors this summer, you'll be super grateful these require zero electricity! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

These include the mounting hardware you'll need to hang them up. 

Promising review: "My goodness, I did not expect to love these lanterns as much as I do. They are very, very good quality and display lots of light. I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog Tailor

Get a set of two from Amazon for $38.99. 

8. A set of "invisible" hipster underwear for anyone planning to live all season in biker shorts and slip dresses (no denim allowed 🙅‍♀️) and doesn't want seam lines messing with their look. Reviewers love how wonderfully comfortable and stretchy these are, with many comparing them to Victoria's Secret for a fraction of the price. And the fact that they don't roll down or bunch up?? Go ahead, take my money. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the seamless underwear in action. 

Promising review: "These are my new favorites.They are comfortable and do not show under all my clothes. They are super soft too and hold up all day without gapping. I have been buying Victoria’s Secret underwear for many years, spending unnecessary money. I’ll repurchase these over and over again." —Joshua

Get a set of six from Amazon for$16.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 13 color combinations). 

9. A set of paper clips with charms (charms!!) that are so adorable, you're going to have to keep a real keen eye on who's entering your cubicle at the office... These'll add a lil' bit of fun to those stacks of very serious adult documents, and would also make the cutest bookmarks! I know fantasy fans are going to loveee thisdragon set — has there ever been anything more worthy of keeping your place during your third reread of A Court Of Thrones And Roses? 

Amazon

Promising reviews: "Works great. I love these... I can use them to mark lines or just as a bookmark." —Amazon Customer

"Much, much bigger than I expected!... They will be cute and the clip will easily and conveniently mark your page. They are good quality clips, and the charms are nice...Great value, most are cute, very functional." —Kay

Get the eight-piece set from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six styles).

10. A whoa-worthy BrüMate tumbler designed with a straw lid you can flip completely upside down or throw into your bag and not a *single* drop will fall out. 🤯 (Yes, reviewers are suspecting it's magic, too.) It has some truly wild insulation that'll keep your iced coffee or Diet Coke cold for hours, and a stainless steel straw with a comfy silicone tip! Plus, the tapered bottom fits perfectly in cup holders, so it'll truly never leave your side.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Bonus – this is dishwasher-safe! 

Promising review: "The BrüMate is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for a reliable drink container. Its 100% leakproof design means you can confidently toss it into your bag without worrying about spills, making it perfect for on-the-go use. The durability is outstanding; it holds up well against daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek look and performance. Most impressively, it keeps beverages cold for a full 24 hours. Whether you’re hiking, at the office, or relaxing by the pool, the BrüMate is the ultimate companion for keeping your drinks icy cold. Highly recommend!" —Horace Dixon

Get it from Amazon for$44.99+ (available in 26 colors and three sizes). 

11. Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream, a modern-day invention that performs like it was created by an ancient alchemist — how else can it be *so* helpful for hydrating and smoothing skin? While this beauty icon is really just a mix of ingredients like cupuaca butter, coconut oil, and caffeine, reviewers are seriously blown away by the way it leaves their skin feeling firmer and more hydrated. And the luxe caramel-y, pistachio-y scent lasts a good while, so don't be surprised when people start asking what you're wearing. 👀

www.amazon.com

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 am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in five sizes and a refill tub).

12. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to help you look more refreshed and alert when life's got you tossing and turning all night long. With ingredients like hyaluronic acid and shea butter, it's got a hydrating, creamy, medium-coverage formula that blends like a dream, lessening the appearance of dark circles and helping to give you that "I slept eight hours last night" look. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of 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). 

13. A foot peeling spray that's as easy as a quick spritz on clean, dry feet after you shower for softer, smoother soles within a few minutes! This coconut oil and aloe-infused formula can help soften and hydrate your skin, making it easier to rub off all those dead bits, especially when paired with a foot file like reviewers suggest. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT

Get it from Amazon for $6.89. 

14. A tinted lip balm when you fall in love with the TikTok-famous "Black Honey" by Clinique but don't want to spend a whopping $25 to add a berry-like pop of color to your outfits. Folks are *super* impressed by this lightweight, hydrating, and nonsticky formula as a gorgeous alternative! If you're looking for a perfectly subtle yet buildable gloss, prepare to experience the wonders of this universal shade. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping writerEmma Lord uses 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: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other colors, individually, and as a three-pack). 

15. A Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer, which is, to put it lightly, cute as heck — but is also infused with aloe for an added boost of hydration! If you've seen one of these hanging on someone's bag charmrecently, they're beloved for the way they spray as a super fine mist that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave behind a sticky residue. Plus, every time you spritz, you'll fill the air with a delightful floral scent!

Amazon

BuzzFeed Shopping editorAmanda Davis is a fan: "This particular Touchland sanitizer is scented with rosewater, and I absolutely love it! Aside from killing daily germs (which, as the main point of sanitizer, is awesome), it also smells amazing and leaves my hands feeling soft, refreshed, and *not* sticky like many other options on the market. I was so excited to finally get away from the strong, alcohol-scented hand sanitizers and love that this hydrates my hands, too. In my opinion, it's 100% worth the price (especially for my skincare lovers!). It literally never leaves my purse!" 

Promising review: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it’s pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it’s extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I’m especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what’s not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R. 

Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents, and as a variety three-pack; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options). 

16. Burt's Bees After Sun Soother to relieve the annual harsh reminder that sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours. The lightweight lotion is made with aloe and coconut oil to help soothe red, inflamed skin, speed up healing, and reduce peeling *without* that greasy or sticky feeling. Even with no sunburn to treat, reviewers say it's lovely for deeply moisturizing dehydrated skin after swimming, because that saltwater dryness is no joke either. 

www.amazon.com

Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching! And btw, it's formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, or SLS. 

Promising review: "Miracle worker! I always get sunburnt on summer vacations, without fail, no matter if I reapply sunscreen. This balm makes sure I don't have to pay the painful price. If you apply it as soon as you notice the burn, it keeps it from stinging the next day, but you do have to be on top of it. I try to make sure I do a full body burn check after coming in from the sun, before doing anything else. I usually apply it as soon as I find the burn, then a couple of times a day until the redness fades." —noble strength

Get it from Amazon for$8.93 (also available in a coconut-scented three-pack). 

17. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder when it only takes a 10-minute walk outdoors to turn your matte look into a dewy one. Just a lil' dab of this lightweight miracle worker will leave you with a semi-matte finish that lessens the shine but leaves behind a silky, non-powdery glow. Oh, and I hope you're not too attached to your pores, because this is basically a blurring beauty filter IRL. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

Get it from Amazon for $25.

18. A moisturizing body wash with a lovely lather and such a decadent scent, your nose will be wondering "could that be... Baccarat Rouge 540??" The combo of glycerin and jojoba seed oil feels oh-so-hydrating on dry skin, and it has notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber to make your me-time feel a little more luxe. 

Amazon, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry."

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two other scents and as a two-pack). 

19. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment if your hairstylist introduced you to the magic of Olaplex and you're trying to recreate that feeling without salon-level prices. This is a deeply hydrating formula with ceramide 3 and collagen that can improve hair texture and strength — helping to give you that healthy, shiny, and soft look you're searching for. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 1c–4c hair mentioning it worked for them! 

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy-looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add that I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets!

Get a bottle from Amazon for $6.75.

20. Dr. Melaxin "Peel Shot" for next-level, rice-based exfoliation that'll gently remove dead skin and leave your complexion oh-so-radiant and glowy. The internet-beloved K-beauty formula is packed with ingredients that hydrate your skin while removing blackheads and sebum, helping reduce the appearance of texture, enlarged pores, and dullness. One reviewer says it left their skin softer than after a facial (!!), so if you're allowing the internet to influence you to try out one product today, this may be the one!

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

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callous on my arm that keeps regrowing [and] it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie

Get it from Amazon for $18.80 (available in five formulas). 

21. A super popularUniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bagso wonderfully versatile, your other bags will start to get dusty in your closet. This water-resistant bb can fit a truly *shocking* amount of things, and will keep 'em all organized in the interior pockets. The straps were also recently updated, so it can be worn as a crossbody *or* a handbag — and the excess strap can be tucked away into a side pocket! Freaking genius!!

Uniqlo

Btw, reviewers compare this to the $52 Baggu Small Nylon Crescent bag!

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting one of these bags for a while! I got it in black, and I love it. Next, I want to get one embroidered! It’s really spacious and super comfortable to wear. I get lots of compliments on it!" —Andy

Get it from Uniqlo for $24.90 (available in seven colors, with three coming soon). 

22. A nausea relief herbal inhalerif the stuffy heat this time of year makes you feel like you want to hurl. This travel-sized tube is filled with natural oils like lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint that can be breathed in or rubbed around your nostrils for a quick fix from motion sickness — or for some folks, anxiety. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly

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

23. A set of biodegradable, ultra-soft Ditoi face towels with a double-sided design — a smooth one for gentle wiping, and a textured one for deeper cleansing! They're a more sanitary alternative to the dirty hand towel that could be contributing to breakouts, and since they're super absorbent, reviewers also like using 'em to clean their wet sink after drying their face. Umm, has anybody checked onClean Skin Club lately? They may be shaking in their pricey boots right now...

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "All my life I've used a rag for cleaning my face. I started having breakouts. I saw this on TikTok so I decided to purchase. Since I've been using these, I no longer have breakouts. The towel is soft to the skin and works very well since I have sensitive skin. I will most definitely purchase again." —India Freeman

Get a set of 50 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in smaller and larger packs). 

24. Billion Dollar Brows Eyebrow Powder, a lightweight, water-resistant, *and* long-lasting formula that'll fill in sparse brow hair while keeping that natural look. If that sounds familiar, you may be thinking of the $26 icon Anastasia Brow Duo — this one's just way cheaper for the same end product! 

www.amazon.com

Billion Dollar Brows is a small business that specializes in beauty products. 

Promising review: "I have found a new eyebrow enhancer powder! I’m blonde, and my eyebrows don’t show up very well. I have tried a lot of colors and products, but the rich, soft color of this one beats them all. Easily glides on, covers my gray brow hairs, and helps my eyebrows frame my face. And this one stays on all day until I wash it off! Well worth the price and the quality surprised me!!" —Pammer

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four shades, a two-pack, and a kit with an eyebrow brush). 

25. A bottle of Lumify Eye Drops that'll help brighten your eyes in *one minute* and helps reduce redness so well, it's left reviewers feeling shocked, amazed, and downright flabbergasted. Just because we were up all night scrolling doesn't mean we want to hear the "you look so tired!!" comments (jeez...). 

www.amazon.com

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.

Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 

Promising review (for the photo above): "Miracle worker. My eyes were red for two days from my eyelash extensions because of irritation, and I tried two eye drops from the drugstore. Neither worked!! I ordered these from Amazon because of the reviews, and they worked within 30 seconds. I was genuinely so impressed. Highly recommend, and they are also super hydrating." —GB

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Reviewers with 2a-4c hair mention it worked for them. 

Promising review: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa 

Get it from Amazon for $4.22 (also available as a two-pack).

Each can be used up to 30 times, making it a cheaper alternative to splurging on a bite guard!

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Note: Though these have impressed more than 10,000+ Amazon shoppers, it's still always best to speak with your dentist before trying any new products for your teeth.

Promising review: "Earlier this week my dentist advised that I get a bite guard. The cost was $700 but I could have one for $500. I decided to try a less expensive alternative. I purchased these and woke up this morning pain free. They are comfortable and I had no problem falling asleep. Pain is gone and I saved $500. I would say that's a win-win." —Charles

It's about time you experience silky smooth skin that smells like a *literal* cupcake.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! It creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I’m impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It’s a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" —Shay 

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in three other scents).

Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman, and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina

"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly. I will repurchase again and again." —Tlong

Promising review: "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

BuzzFeed Shopping writerEmma Lordcan vouch for this: "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)." 

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in two sizes, as a two-pack, as a refill, and an instant or baby formula).

Promising review: "I bought this product hoping for a fresh, divine scent, and wow, it completely blew me away! I’m usually not one to purchase scented products without smelling them first, but I took a leap of faith and it paid off. Hawaiian Bliss is everything I hoped for and more. The scent is absolutely heavenly; rejuvenating, relaxing, and somehow energizing at the same time. After using it, I feel calmer, refreshed, and even a little happier. I genuinely look forward to using it. I’m already planning to order more, not just for myself but to include in gift baskets for friends and family. If you’re on the fence, go for it. Highly recommend!" —K. Marie

Promising review: "My hair was starting to thin rapidly in my mid-20s. Thankfully, I caught it early. I started using this shampoo regularly, and haven’t done any other treatments. The thinning immediately slowed and eventually stopped. It’s six years later, and I still have a great, full head of hair. Judging by my family history, I should be totally bald by now, and this product is the only thing I've used. I credit this stuff with saving my hair! What a miracle!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I’m seriously blown away by the Skinny Spicy Margarita tea bags! As someone who loves a good margarita but doesn’t want all the sugar, this is a total game-changer. It’s super easy — just steep in cold water (or with a splash of tequila if you’re making a cocktail), and you’ve got a refreshing, slightly spicy drink in under a minute. The flavor is chef’s kiss — tangy, zesty, with the perfect little kick. I love that it’s non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher, and vegan too." —Chioma

I love using these before a vacation because they help my makeup go on smoother all trip long. And with how clogged my nose gets with oil and sweat during the summer, I like using these as a touch-up every few weeks, too!

Promising review: "I use these once a week and they really help my huge nose pores look way smaller and cleaner. The first time I still had some oil and gunk in my pores but the second time I had even less. By the third time I used them, the only oil was on the patch, and my nose has never looked better. My pores appear smaller and my nose is smoother." —Sarah Cavasos

Psst — you should definitely "patch test" this on a small area of skin before putting it on to ensure you don't have any reaction. And btw, each box lasts two months!

Promising review: "If you have overactive sweat glands under the arms, this product works!! I've had issues with extra sweat for no reason since I was a kid. I finally saw this, read the reviews, and gave it a shot! It actually works! I use it once a week at bedtime after a shower. I have NO issues with sweat anymore under the arms. I can wear a long tee that's not black without worrying about sweat LOL. If you are having any issues with extra sweat, over amounts of sweat and need relief, this is a must." —Danielle Fallon

38. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara that'll make applying falsies feel like a distant horror from the past. This long-lasting formula gives the same dramatic, lengthening look, and if you've never tried ~tubing tech~, it's beloved for being smudge-proof yet coming off with water alone! To the days of sticky glue and crooked lashes: You will not be missed. ✌️ 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

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

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord 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 $8 (available in three shades). 

39. A roll-on migraine stick, which may seem too good to be true, but reviewers swear by for helping relieve the terrible pain of a pulsing headache.

Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell

Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." —Meg B. 

Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (also available as a two-pack). 

41. The viralTheraBreath oral rinse to finish off your oral routine, because we are staying fresh 👏 and 👏 minty 👏 all year long. You probably won't mind using this one as much as others because the alcohol-free formula means less burning and eye watering! With just a 30-second swish, it can help fight bad breath for up to 12 hours — and as someone who hopped on the Therabreath train, I can confirm using it at night has seriously cut down on my levels of ~morning breath~.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "TikTokers have done it again. This was one of the products on Amazon a person could not live without, stating all-day freshness. It's true, I cannot believe it. The taste isn't strong. It does not burn at all. It keeps my breath smelling fresh all day, no matter what I eat. This brand will be a new staple in my bathroom and morning routine." —Zac

42. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer, which is about to become your secret ingredient for hydrated, radiant skin. The gel-like formula is infused with ~sea buckthorne~ and niacinamide, and contains poppable capsules (aka forbidden boba) with concentrated amounts of vitamin C to help reduce discoloration and the look of fine lines over time. If your skin's been looking a little dull, this is the potion you've been looking for to achieve that summer glow! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs in your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue left behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60 year old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby’s bum the next morning!" —tracey + kiwi

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (also available in four other formulas).
