As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post.

Fun fact: Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here are a few of the current ones so beloved by reviewers that they are *definitely* worth the hype:

1. A pair of ButterLuxe biker shorts from cult-fave Amazon brand CRZ Yoga that are so soft, comfortable, and workout-friendly that reviewers compare them to $48 Aritzia Atmosphere Biker Shorts, the $64 Lululemon Align Biker Shorts, AND the $88 Skims High-Waisted Shorts. This is a "run, don't walk" situation, y'all. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Pro-tip: like a ZILLION postpartum humans said this was ultra-soft on their bellies, especially after C-sections!  

Promising review: "MY FAVE. I have four colors of these shorts now! They’re so soft. Squat proof. The perfect length. Great quality material. I wear all of them every week, and they’re still in perfect condition." —Steiner Mom

Price: $24(available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 23 colors) 

2. Eos "Coconut Waters" Cashmere 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 yet another variant of the TikTok-beloved Vanilla Cashmere body wash, but this time with a summer-y, beach-y twist that will make you smell like an all-inclusive vacation for less than $10. 

Amazon

Promising review: "The scent smells AMAZING and fills up the whole bathroom while I shower. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and moisturized afterward instead of dry or tight like some body washes do. This body wash is a thick, creamy gel and lathers easily, and the scent actually lasts on my skin for a long time after showering, which I love. I also have pretty sensitive skin and usually react to heavily scented products, but this one hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me personally. Overall, I think it's a great product if you want something moisturizing with a strong, cozy scent that actually lasts." —paige elissa

Price: $9.98(available in seven other scents) 

3. A wonderfully supportive one-piece bathing suit with cheeky mesh detailing and adjustable ties that will make you the most chic person frolicking on the beach. One reviewer said they loved this suit wayyyy more than the $100+ Miraclesuits they tried, and another called it "magic!"  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Popilush is a small business that specializes in activewear and shapewear. 

Promising review: "This bathing suit made me feel so good and secure! It has great support and flexibility to style it to fit your body. I'm a size 12 and ordered an extra large, which I think was a perfect fit, especially if you have a larger chest." —Emily Kightlinger 

Price: $39.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and seven colors) 

4. Pantene's Sunkiss Glow Multitasking Spray, your absolute summer MVP for UV hair protection — this lightweight spray will help reduce color fade, prevent damage from salt and chlorine, and reduce frizz. But what reviewers can't stop raving about is the delectable coconut, jasmine, and sandalwood scent, which one reviewer says"smells like the beach in a bottle," and another says it will be a staple for their beach bag! 

www.instagram.com, www.instagram.com

Promising review: "This is such a great idea to have for hair during the summer or even living in a warmer climate. I put it in mine and my three girls' hair today before the pool, and hair felt great after washing. Highly recommend." —Alyssa Speaker

Price: $9.99 

5. A pair ofProject Cloud flip-flops that one reviewer says are "just like the Tkees brand, but a little comfier and better priced." Chic, '90s-inspired, comfy memory foam flip-flops *without* the $65 price tag? Sign my feet up. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the kind of flip-flops you reach for every day. They’re lightweight, super cushioned, and comfortable enough to wear for hours without my feet feeling tired. I bought them for quick errands and pool days, but ended up wearing them far more than I expected. The neutral color goes with just about everything, and they still look cute while being practical. If comfort is your priority, these are worth it." —Victoria C. 

Price: $26.90 (available in women's sizes 5.5–11 and 32 styles) 

6. And a pair ofplatform slide-on sandals for anyone who wants the chic look, convenience, and arch support of a shoe like Birkenstocks, but doesn't want to pay $60+ for them. Reviewers love these for how comfy and lightweight they are — one reviewer even said they're "like Birkenstocks, except they feel like marshmallows." 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are AWESOME sandals! Good arch support and comfy all day long. Easy to dress up and dress down, AND since they’re plastic, they can go in water and easily clean up. Perfect summer shoe. My more expensive sandals are spending a lot more time in the closet as these have become my go-to summer shoe.” —Shevaun Malone 

Price: $18.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and seven colors) 

7. Dr Teal's "Strawberry Serenade" Epsom salt magnesium soak, a ~limited edition~ blend of strawberry, basil, and orange that has already captured reviewers' hearts and bath time rituals — one even said this scent was so nostalgic it felt like "being transported back in time." If you loved the "Hawaiian Bliss"soak that blew up last year, this newer scent is a must-try! 

Amazon

Promising review: "A great magnesium soak, very affordable, and amazing, incredible scent! It is so uplifting and vibrant — it should not be a special edition but a regular product offering! Bravo!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $5.87 

8. An *ultimate* breezy, buttery soft basic tee that reviewers compare to the $48 Skims versions — except you can get these at such reasonable prices and in so many colors that it'll make your closet's head spin. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best shirt for everyday casual, pair with a blazer, or use for a workout. I love the soft feel and being form-fitting without feeling restricting. It also doesn’t wrinkle easily, which makes it great for travel!" —Mermaid Mamma

Price: $9.99+(available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and dozens of colors) 

9. Laneige Lip Glowy Balm for the ultimate in lavish lip care — non-sticky, ultra glossy, and *super* hydrating tinted lip tint is the holy grail to end all other holy grails. Once you try this, you'll likely join the ranks of a reviewer who switched over from Carmex and said they "will not use anything else" on their lips. 

Amazon

Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite lip balm! I purchased this balm years ago when it first launched. I have repurchased it ever since, and it was the product that introduced me to the brand. The balm is phenomenal. Its claims are spot on — it moisturizes and volumizes, and the balm's texture fills in the lip lines, giving your lips a more youthful appearance. It's a lip treatment as well because the feel and look of my lips have improved since I started using it. It works wonders for NYC summers and winters — something truly impressive since I usually prefer different textures depending on the season. Laneige is light enough for the heat, and protective and moisturizing enough for the cold. Although I enjoy using all the flavors, my most repurchased is the Berry one. The tint is subtle, but it does a great job at effortlessly perfecting and enhancing the look of your natural lip. I use it on bare lips usually, but they also pair well on top of liner and lipstick." —Leddy

Price: $19(available in 10 flavors) 

10. Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40, a hybrid primer + sunscreen combo so lightweight and hydrating that you'll be like, "Are my pores DRINKING THIS?" This is designed to work beautifully under makeup to help give it a smooth finish, but some reviewers love it so much that it has replaced their foundation entirely. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Note that the American Academy of Dermatology recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! 

Promising review: "I was recommended this by a friend because her skin always looked so glowy. After trying it myself, I completely understand the hype. It gives my skin a beautiful, radiant finish without feeling greasy or heavy. I wear it daily, even on days when I skip makeup, because it makes my skin look fresh while providing SPF protection. It blends easily, feels comfortable all day, and leaves a natural glow. Definitely a product I’ll keep repurchasing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" —Martinez(8a) 

Price: $38 (available in four shades) 

11. And E.l.f. Skin Suntouchable Invisible SPF 35 Sunscreen designed to help blur pores and prime your skin for makeup while looking like it literally isn't even there. If you want a quick, protective, no-nonsense sunscreen layer that won't mess with your makeup look, this is the way to go. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m Black, and I layered a couple of products under this E.l.f. sunscreen, and it performed really well — no peeling at all, which is a huge plus. It blended seamlessly without leaving any white cast, even over my darker skin tone. Lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for daily use. Definitely keeping this in my routine!" —Milan Amor

Price:$13

12. A deeply beloved, Lululemon-inspired athletic skort with all the high-quality feel and comfortable fit of the $78 Lululemon Align skort (in fact, one reviewer said they are MORE comfortable) at a mere FRACTION of the price. At this point, you might as well stock up on them so you never have to be said that they're in the wash! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I was very impressed with the skirt, especially for the price tag. The material is buttery soft, similar to a Lululemon Align skirt. It is not see-through. I ended up buying more colors." —H.E.R

Price: $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and nine colors) 

13. A super lightweight, sandproof minimalist mesh tote bag reviewers LOVE love love to use at the beach or on trips, because it can withstand all kinds of nonsense but still looks super sophisticated slung over your shoulder around town.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Absolutely love this beach bag! It’s lightweight, stylish, and surprisingly spacious. The mesh design is perfect for the beach because sand falls right through instead of getting trapped inside. I was able to fit towels, sunscreen, water bottles, and even a change of clothes with no problem. The inner pocket is super convenient for keeping my phone and keys safe. The material feels durable, and the color looks exactly like the pictures. Perfect for vacations, pool days, or even casual summer outings." —Raidel Gonzalez Cabrera

Price: $9.99+ (available in six styles) 

14. A super affordable waterproof travel duffeldesigned to carry a whole trip's worth of nonsense while still being compact enough to qualify as a carry-on (or even a personal item!) on a flight. Reviewers were deeply impressed with how well the material on this duffel held up during long-haul flights! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this as a carry-on for an international trip. We flew from the US to Vietnam via Tokyo and then back 15 days later from Bangkok through Tokyo to home. In between, there were seven internal flights!! So this bag was dragged everywhere! It was so sturdy, but lightweight, and just the right size to carry whatever wouldn't fit in the suitcases or was needed on the planes. It had one large internal compartment with an interior zippered pocket and two smaller side ones. I saw recommendations for travel bags costing two to three hundred dollars. This one held its own and only cost $18 — what a deal!" —Amazon Customer 

Price: $16.99+ (available in 13 styles) 

15. A set of Lego Botanicals Daisies that are like "home decor, but make it cheeky." This is a great way to liven up your space without worrying about watering live plants every day. (Why have a green thumb when you can have a slightly nerdy one instead?) Psst — peep the sweet little ladybug included in the set! 

www.amazon.com

Psst — you can check out a ton of other gorgeous Lego Botanicals on Amazon for more lovely options! 

Promising review: "I just love these Lego Botanicals! I got these daisies to add to the sunflowers I already have. The directions are easy to follow and really fun to put together. It took me about an hour to finish the kit. We all know Legos are built to last, so I'm sure these flowers will too! The best part is they will never wilt or die, so you can enjoy them all year long. The colors are bright, cheery, and the flowers go well with the other Lego Botanicals that I own. I will be adding more very soon, and I highly recommend." —Luv2shop

Price:$9.99 

16. A pair of '70s-inspired sunnies SO luxe and designer-feeling that people will low-key wonder if a celeb just walked into the grocery store. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Loveee these. Absolutely looking like the '70s. They look very expensive. People compliment me all the time, questioning me about a specific designer. These are absolutely my everyday favorites." —Nurse Tmonique

Price: $13.59 (available in seven styles) 

17. A lightweight UPF 50+ long-sleeve shirtfor anyone who wants to frolic in the sun but doesn't want to interrupt their day with 50 reapplications of sunscreen all over their human form. Many reviewers mention that they're just as good as more expensive versions from name brands like Columbia and Sundrella! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These are the BEST sun protection shirts! I actually own eight and just sent two to my sister. I am a redhead with extremely fair skin. I have had skin cancer removed on my body in six places. I wear my shirts when I am outside walking my dog, tending to my garden, traveling in my car, and just hanging out in my backyard. The shirt is lightweight and cool. I have never gotten a sunburn when I wear them. They look great on and wash up nicely. I have owned other sun shirts from Columbia and Sunbrella. These shirts work just as well and are a lot more affordable. I highly recommend them for sun protection and even exercise. They feel like a dry-fit shirt." —Susan

Price: $12.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 33 styles) 

18. A quirky fruit claw clipyou can get in SO many different delicious shapes that you'll feel like a tropical smoothie all summer long. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "The clip is even cuter in person! Colors and size came exactly as pictured. So far, the quality is great. Highly recommend!" —Amanda

Price: $7.97+ (available in 19 styles) 

19. A pair ofhigh-waisted elastic athletic shortsthat'll have you like, "Holy Lululemon lookalike, Batman!" Reviewers are in looooove with how much these look and feel like the $68 Lululemon version, how well they stay put during workouts, and how durable they are over time. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "These shorts absolutely exceeded my expectations. They are incredibly comfortable and, honestly, have become one of my favorite athletic shorts. The high-waisted fit is supportive without feeling restrictive, and they stay in place beautifully whether working out, walking, traveling, or just running errands. The material is lightweight, breathable, and soft while still feeling high-quality and durable. I love that they provide great coverage without looking bulky, and the fit is sporty while still being really cute.  They’re also surprisingly versatile — perfect for gym workouts, pickleball, beach walks, hikes, lounging, or pairing with an oversize sweatshirt for an effortless athleisure look. I’ve already found myself reaching for them constantly and will definitely be ordering more colors." —Dr. Manetta 

Price: $19.99(available in women's sizes XS–3XL and dozens of colors) 

20. E.l.f. Skin Thirst Burst Lip Treatment, a new lippie that basically hit the scene like, "MOVE OVER, Summer Fridays." Not only does this have hydrating relief for dry lips and a plumping 1% Peptide Complex, but it's a fraction of the $24 cost for the Summer Fridays version, and comes in decadent flavors like Guava, Blue Hibiscus, and Pomelo. 

www.instagram.com, Amazon

Promising review: "The texture is thick! But it’s a good thick. These feel so smooth on the lips and are very glossy. Currently my favorite E.l.f. lip product, over the Glow Reviver Oil. Smell is not overwhelming and neither is taste. I came back to order them all." —Khloe3

Price: $8 (available in three flavors) 

21. A sweet little cocktail dress born to be the MVP of all your summer events, whether you're grabbing a cheeky martini with your friends, attending a graduation, or headed to your zillionth wedding in a row. Reviewers love how well-constructed this dress is, and how it looks like it's WAY pricier than the actual cost! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have ordered this dress in six different colors, which says a lot about how much I love it. It has become my go-to dress because it is comfortable and versatile." —Louis Milne

Price: $34.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 

22. Kitsch's Cleansing Tart Cherry Soap Bar, a moisturizing, sensitive skin-friendly, eco-friendly alternative to body wash that also just happens to smell DECADENT. If you're looking to try a unique new scent (and save a little money on a long-lasting soap bar!), this iconic bar is so good that one reviewer said they "traded all their Philosophy soaps for this.

Amazon

This is shipped and packaged plastic-free! 

Promising review: "I have very, very itchy sensitive skin and I have been using this bar exclusively for two weeks, and I am sold and will continue to use this. I picked this bar (and a reusable bag so I can hang it from a hook in my shower) because it was the lowest cost, and I have not regretted it. The smell is lovely, the bar is very foamy, the bag helps create a mild exfoliant if you want, and my skin does not feel tight or dry after. Hanging it allows it to dry between uses, and it is not sitting in goo. Two weeks in, and it has retained the original texture seen in the picture that contributes to the foaminess. Great bargain." —Melissa 

Price: $9.99(available in 19 scents) 

23. A pair of ridiculously comfy holy grail summer work slacks — these pull-on pants are stretchy and breathable for hot climates, but also look elevated enough to join the coveted ranks of "things I can wear to work AND be cozy wozy in." 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The best work pants. I wish I had discovered these a year ago!! My coworkers keep asking me about these! So easy to put on, they are breathable and easy to spot clean during a shift! Thick enough to look professional, thin enough to get through summer shifts!!" —K Chelle

Price: $19.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and eight colors) 

24. A bottle of Pattern Leave-In-Conditioner for curly, coily, and tight-textured hair, a reviewer-beloved treatment from Tracee Ellis Ross's haircare line that has reviewers singing its praises for hydrating their locks, defining curls, and helping keep frizz under control. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This is designed for people with 3a–4c curls! 

Promising review: "Oh this is THAT girl! I have like 4a hair with low porosity, and oh my this is just fantastic. It is so lightweight but creamy and melts into my hair like butter on a hot summer day! And yes, it did leave my hair tender! 10/10 I love you, Tracee!" —Maya

Price: $12+ (available in four sizes) 

25. A flowy maxi skirt reviewers love for being extra lightweight and comfortable, so you can still get your carefree ~swish, swish~ energy without getting roasted by the sun. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Price:$18 (clip the coupon on the product page for this price; available in 53 shades) 

27. A gorgeous set of floral reed diffuser sticks to help bring all the sweetness of summer into your home on days when you look at the actual temperature and say, "Nah, I don't want to get baked like cookie dough today." (Note that this set only includes the sticks, not the base and essential oils!) 

www.amazon.com

If you're looking for a base for these, a lot of people use mini plant propagation vases andfloral essential oils for diffusing!

Promising review: "I love that the diffuser sticks have the flowers, it gives a totally different look. You would not think that they are what’s giving my office the relaxing scent it has. Very decorative!" —Khia Phifer

Price: $13.98

28. A 50-piece set of rainbow scratch art for anyone who wants to doodle their way right back into the '90s on summer days when it's too hot to go outside. Pairs well with a bottle of Yoohoo and a Lunchable that for some reason doesn't expire until long after you die! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought this for my 6-year-old boy, and he absolutely loved them. He even taught his 1-year-old sister how to use them, and she was delighted to see the colors appear on the page. They spent hours on these when they couldn't go outside due to rain or too much heat." —Amazon Customer

Price:$4.99+(available in two styles and an activity pack) 

29. A waterproof, super lightweight JBL Go 3 speaker so you can impress your friends not just with your excellent playlist curation skills, but the ridiculous sound quality that comes out of this tiny gizmo. It's so portable that you can easily tuck it into a tote bag on your way to a park or pool hang, and so waterproof that reviewers even keep it in the shower! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It's cute, it's compact, it's intuitive, and it sounds great! You can believe all of the other reviews on those fronts. The reason this speaker gets a resounding 5 stars from me is because I've had it for three years now, and today I realized I hadn't seen it in a long time. I searched my yard and there it was, hanging on a fence post where I had left it ... last fall! That's right, my friends. This tough little speaker spent a winter (that included several snows) and much of a rainy spring outside. I brought it in, cleaned it up a little, plugged it into charge, and now I'm listening to it sound as good as ever. Frankly, I'm astonished." —Choirgirl21

Price: $39.95 (available in six styles). 

30. Londontown's Glow Getter Nail Luminizer,a hybrid nail treatment and gorgeous sheer polish hybrid that will let you take care of your nails in the chicest way possible. This is an excellent compromise for anyone who wants to keep their nails looking lovely without the upkeep of an entire manicure — this doesn't require a base or a top coat, and gives off a subtle, radiant gleam. 

Amazon

Londontown is a small business that specializes in nail care products. 

Promising review: "I like a one-and-done nail product that will protect my fragile nails, but also stay put. I don’t baby my nails at all, so I like something that doesn’t show wear quickly. I’m not sure what’s in this one specifically, but it stays on so well. It’s also a nice micro shimmer/glitter. I’ve used a few other polishes from this brand, and while they are all nice, this is my favorite so far." —H. Peeples 

Price: $19.40 

31. A coastal-inspired trinket dish you can keep on your front table to trick yourself into thinking you didn't return to your regular boring home, but to a seaside Airbnb cottage you rented for the week.
