1. A cult-favorite Persian Garden fragrance rollerballwith warm florals, ocean air, and light amber that reviewers compare to Glossier's $78 "You." This is from TikTok-famous small business brand Kuumba Made, known for its luxury scents at ridiculously affordable prices, so you know they're on their game — reviewers especially love how clean and long-lasting this sweet but elevated fragrance feels, and how nicely it plays with other scents! 

www.amazon.com

Kuumba Made is a small business that specializes in luxury scents at affordable price points. 

Promising review: This is my absolute favorite scent. I heard of this from someone I follow on TikTok and figured I would try it out. I fell in love with it the second I put it on. The scent is nice, not super strong, which I like because most perfumes bother my allergies. The scent lasts for a while. One bottle lasts me a few months. I recommend this scent to all my friends. I have tried other scents from this brand, but I think this one is the best." —rich allen 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (and check out the rest ofKuumba Made's scents for more options!). 

2. A limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality. Lip care that also tastes like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $6?? My friends, life is good. 

Amazon

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 ti from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in Strawberry Acai). 

3. Dove's Coconut Milk & Sugar Lychee Body Wash so moisturizing, gentle, and decadently-scented that you're going to feel fully transported to your ~happy place~ every time you lather it on. This is especially lovely for sensitive skin, since the plant milk base is nutrient-rich and sulfate-free to keep your skin feeling eeextra soft and loved. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am loving this body wash, the smell is incredible and the formula is great. Way better than the original Dove formula body washes. I find that it’s more gentle and cleansing without any weird film left behind. I hope they never discontinue this line because I love it!" —D

Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 

4. A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses for anyone who needs to stock up on a few "these look like Ray-Bans, but I won't cry into my Baja Blast if I accidentally leave them in the Taco Bell parking lot" pairs this year. These are especially handy because you can match the subtle prints to whatever 'fit you're wearing! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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

Here's what BuzzFeeder Heather Braga has to say about them: "I purchased these after my prescription changed (yet again) so I couldn't properly see out of my sunglasses. I needed a pair that I could wear to protect my eyes while going on walks with my kids (during which I don't need my prescription glasses). They're perfect! Affordable, get the job done, *and* look cute on my face." 

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $15.99+ (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 16 sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs).

6. A delightfully affordableinstant foot peeling sprayfor anyone ready to go full YEEHAW!! on a pedicure, without the big salon price tag. This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck. 

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 $5.48. 

7. A tinted lip balm that's eerily close to the same magic as "Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!). 

8. Tree Hut Desert Haze Shea Sugar Scrub— yes, the chronically sold out, cult-fave scent is in stock on Amazon...for NOW.

Amazon

Promising reviews: "This is our favorite flavor Tree Hut scrub. Always hard to find in stores because it is usually sold out. Thought it was discontinued, but very happy to find it here." —AJ 

"This Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub in the scent Desert Haze is like a little piece of paradise!!!!! The smell is wonderful, and the way it leaves your skin feeling is so smooth, silky, and clean! I will definitely be purchasing this item again! If you haven’t tried this Tree Hut Scrub in the scent Desert Haz,e you should!" —Shelly 

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in 29 other scents). 

9. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum, which finally answers the question of, "What if a high-quality priming moisturizer could also punch the UV right out of the sun??" This lightweight, nongreasy, no-white-cast formula is here to solve all your warm weather beauty woes once and for all by playing nice under your makeup *and* protecting you from the sun's rays. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have been searching for a sunscreen like this for a long time. I really dislike putting anything heavy on my face and prefer a gel-like consistency. I am a big fan of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid serum and the texture of this sunscreen feels pretty close to that. I have tried much more expensive 'serum' sunscreens and find this one my favorite and for a much better price point." —JHoch

Get it from Amazon for $14.88. 

10. Moroccanoil's Mini Must-Haves Sampler, which is so affordable that I'm not not pinching myself to make sure I'm awake.

This flush of pigment for your lips and cheeks is perfect for those lightweight, "no makeup makeup" looks that are especially key on a day when the sun is showing no mercy. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The Sheer For It cheek and lip tint is amazing! It's surprisingly long-lasting for a more sheer product (but it is definitely buildable). I bought the shade Cherry Cola which is a beautiful, warm, reddish-brown tone. So excited to try the rest of the shades! I highly recommend!!" —Amy Pomykal 

Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in four shades). 

15.

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

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch clip in action. 

Promising review: "Just got this today and I love it! I needed something that would keep my hair up, but not pull and not pull it out when I removed it, as well as something that was comfortable and safe to wear while driving. I haven’t driven with it in yet BUT, I am lying in my bed, on my iPad with my head in the pillow and am very comfortable. My new holy grail for putting my hair up. Could not be happier! My hair is long, and moderate thickness, and it holds beautifully." —Kimberly A.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

I am obsessed with mine, which I got in theAmethyst Sustaincolor set (the stickered bottle above). I haven't used a Nalgene since high school but when I lost my usual one and needed a reliable replacement, these were too cute to resist. They are, as always, entirely leakproof, QUITE durable, and most importantly, super lightweight — a boon for me, since I'm a step count monster and always have a tote bag slung over my shoulder. I have gotten more compliments and questions about this adorable bub than any of my water bottles combined! 

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in 15 styles). 

19. Black Girl Sunscreen's Make It Pop Sungloss with SPF 50 (!!) that reviewers *adore* both as a glossy shine on bare lips, or to make their signature lippies pop. Who knew sun protection could look so chic? 

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. 

20. A versatile ribbon scarf you can use as the perfect accent to any summer outfit, whether you're using it to tie back your hair, add some color and whimsy to your purse, or using as an elegant ascot. It's like buying a bunch of accessories for the price of one! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Get it from Amazon for $8.09 (available in 42 styles). 

21. Yankee Candle's Midsummer's Night, or what I like to call a "goth summer candle," as a perfectly moody way to usher in the warmer weather if you're not a big fan of sweetness and floral. Reviewers compare this alluring blend of musk, patchouli, sage, and mahogany to a soft cologne. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I already love it. The scent is deep and musky, and fills the room quickly without being too strong. Lit it this morning, and it’s been perfect so far. The lid is solid and makes it feel like a high-quality product, not some cheap throwaway. For under $15, you get your money’s worth. Flame is nice and large. Quiet crackle and no smoke. Jar looks good on the table and the wick burns even. It says 110 hours of burn time, so I’ll see if it lasts that long, but I’m betting it will. If you want a candle that smells great and feels worth it, this one’s perfect!" —MyHonestReviews

Get it from Amazon for $15.49. 

22. NeeDoh Groovy Fruit, one of the many variations in the*elite* NeeDoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day with a side of ~~whimsy~~.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

I've sworn by these for years — I can't shape my nails to save my life, so I get a manicure once a month and then trade out these colors every week or so in between. The colors are so vibrant and fun, the quick dry is NO joke, and what I love most is these tend to last a solid five to seven days without chipping (and are easily fixed with a touch-up). I am a very busy bean and incapable of sitting still for more than a minute, so these have been a GODSEND. 

Promising review: "This is the best nail polish I've ever used. I have bought it several times and will continue to buy it in the future. I have had my nails done for years at the salon, as well as using the gel polish with the light dry in the past — and now the past year have only used Sally Hansen instant dry nail polishes and am more pleased that I ever was with either of the other options." —J.L. Senn

I would say buy it." —Incognito

Promising review: "It’s lovely. They call it a cover-up, but I wore it with dress pants and a white shell top. I received several compliments. I have purchased a few more in different colors. Nice and long. Comfortable. Seems durable so far. Don’t wear it for warmth though, — it might protect from sun or a slight breeze, but it is more for looks than warmth." —MAC
