Promising review: "Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow, but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" —shinyliberty

Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel, but are MUCH more durable. Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher, and we get so many compliments on them. I love them!" —Katie B

Pro tip💡: throw it in the fridge at least 10 minutes before use for the best cooling feeling ever.
Promising review: "Great value for the money! When this arrived, I was shocked at how sturdy and heavy it was compared to other face rollers I have purchased. This has been a godsend for relieving puffiness and is high quality. I put it in the fridge before using it when I want some extra help as well. This is by far the highest-quality roller I have purchased...The greater weight to this really allows for the right pressure and makes the process a lot easier! " —EMY823

Size up for a more oversized fit!
Promising review: "This has become one of my FAVORITE Amazon pieces! It’s so comfortable and lightweight. The sweater material is light enough to wear on a cooler summer day and will transition nicely into fall. It has a heaviness to it, though, that makes it fall nicely. I will wear the sweater with jeans through the winter!" — suitelikewillowrock

Promising review: "Feel like expensive high-end hotel sheets. I normally use flannel sheets year-round because it’s the only material I like, but these are my new favorite. Very soft and cooling. Fit our bed perfectly. I purchased both for our bed and our spare room and have only gotten compliments from guests. Great sheets without the huge sticker price." —Anna Greenlun

Promising reviews: "Way better than I expected! I was super skeptical that this would help. I only wash my hair twice a week and typically have to straighten or curl it every week. This helped a ton! I don't have to curl or straighten it nearly as much. It's helped with frizz, too. I've washed them several times, and they feel durable." —Molly G.
"I love my pillowcase!...It's super soft and leaves your hair feeling silky when you wake up. It is durable and lasts through the washing machine (and dryer, I know). I will definitely be using these as gifts for friends and family." —Kimmie

Promising review: "This is GORGEOUS! I bought a large and I’m 5’7 185 lbs. Wore it for dinner in Italy and received many compliments. Fabric is a little stretchy, good cut, and little to no sewing errors. Will be good for at least four more summers and nice to keep on hand for tea/garden parties." —Sophie

Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these, and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have a cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside, too." —Amazon Customer

My colleagues Kayla Boyd and Emma Lord *love* this stuff!
Kayla says: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them), this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. It uses a conic-shaped fiber brush to help the mascara apply evenly without getting too clumpy. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort." Read her full Essence Lash Princess Mascarareview for more!
Emma says: "Hello, that is my face above (I'm the blonde), because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time."

Promising reviews: "I loved this stuff; it was magic. The evening moisturizer was fabulous. It is the first plumper that actually works for me. Will be buying more for gifts!!!!!" —Alexandra
"I discovered this product from TikTok, and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper, and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes, but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!! —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome." —Su

Promising review: "I am so thrilled with this shaker. It's beautiful and can sit out on my bar cart, is super functional, and doesn't leak. It's a conversation starter, and everyone who has seen it loves the way it looks and asks where I got it. I will say, the bottom is quite heavy and this makes shaking a bit awkward,d but once you get used to it, it's no big deal." —Amanda B

Promising review: "SO GOOD. The best lip oil I have ever owned [and] better than Dior. It is not sticky at all, long-lasting, sheer, and...it smells so good... This is a really good nice [alternative to] the Dior lip oil. It's perfect! A total game-changer. If you want a lip gloss that's not too sticky, then this is for you. 😁" —Lola

Dossier is a small business that specializes in alternative, affordable perfumes — check out the rest of their options on their Amazon storefront!
Promising reviews: "Gorgeous scent! I love perfumes, and I’m super picky. I either love or return. This scent is gorgeous. Smells a bit sweet but not overly sweet, not super vanilla, just a hint of it with sophistication. Very soft and sultry. I applied moisturizer (thin, thin layer of Vaseline) and then sprayed perfume. It stayed on my skin for probably over eight hours. I checked my sweater the next day, you could easily smell it on my sweater. Definitely worth the money." —Amazon Customer
"I have had the actual YSL fragrance in 2022 and have not had a bottle since then. I just ordered this and got it today, and must say this is a really great [alternative]. I smelled it and got instantly reminded of the bottle I had. It smells almost identical. I love the powdery and floral notes mixed with hints of vanilla." —Dean

P.S. The feathers are removable for easier washing!
Promising review: "Obsessed...they are literally perfect. Thin without being see-through, soft, exactly the right size and fit I expected (I didn’t want shorts that were too long, and these are just right) with just enough space to be comfortable! The cherry on top is that the feather cuffs come off, but don’t seem to be too fragile. I was worried they would slide around or fall off, but they seem really sturdy." —M Deely

The shoes also feature a non-slip sole and are foldable, too. So they really are great for taking on vacation!
Promising reviews: "I absolutely LOVE this shoe! The day these arrived I happened to be wearing a pair of Rothy's. I took one off and replaced it with one of these. I have wide feet and the Rothy's are narrower, so less comfy. The Athmile also covers more of the top of the foot, which I also prefer. And of course, a much lower cost! I'll definitely purchase additional colors." —Catrenia Wilson-Paul
"Comfortable. I could wear these all day, every day! They seem to be higher quality at a great price - I’ll be ordering more colors!" —Amanda Ogden

Promising reviews: "It was a game-changer after I bought this. Every night I come back after a stressful day of work, I pop one of these shower streamers, and I feel relaxed. The scent is nice; it was not too strong, where it would be too overwhelming, or too light in the scent. Overall, I would recommend this product." —Brandon C.
"Tablets last up to 20 minutes in the shower and give off a relaxing smell. Don’t know if it’s because of the smell or the combination of hot water, but I seem to sleep a lot better at night, especially after a long day." —ohalicemalice

Promising review: "It's STUNNING! I have a full-size bed and got a queen, and it fits perfectly; the sheets are soft, and I got them to fluff a tad more by tossing a tennis ball in the dryer when it was tumbling! So worth it, and you don’t have to worry about wrinkles anymore. It’s thinner than I thought, but it keeps me warmer than any sheet I used to have before! Really adds a romantic feel to my room now. Literally in love!" —Sophia

Promising review: "The heads of these brushes are the thickest and softest brushes I have ever felt in my entire life... The brushes applied and blended all my makeup FLAWLESSLY. I will never go back to a BeautyBlender again because those really absorb the product, and then you are stuck using more and more, trying to cover your face!...
