Promising review (for the toner pads): "I debated buying these for sooo long because I was worried all the TikTok reviews were over-exaggerated or fake. I’ve fallen for that before. But after months of trying different products, hoping they’d get rid of my stubborn bumps/clogged pores to no avail, I figured I didn’t have much to lose. No joke, I started seeing results after a couple uses. Every time I use them I wake up with the softest, glowiest, 'glass' skin I’ve been dying to achieve. I was skeptical at first use because they felt so gentle, but I was also relieved there wasn’t any stinging sensation on my very sensitive skin. I couldn’t be happier with the results. For reference, I have sensitive, combo skin and my main concerns were textured forehead, closed comedones/clogged pores." —Marissa S Get the sunscreen for $15.12 (originally $18.90) and the toner pads for $14.90 (originally $21; available in six other formulas — see all Medicube deals here) As an oily skin gal who could never find a formula that didn't end up underneath my eyes a few hours in, this mascara bewitched me, body and soul. My thin lashes point downward and don't like to hold a curl, so I'm not sure what magical concoction is in this tube, but with a single coat I've got long, wispy lashes that I can practically hear going *fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh*! The Long Curling has been my go-to for a while and has survived sweaty, humid summers, super long days, and every cry sesh. I don't wear too much makeup, and imo it adds the perfect "medium amount" of volume, length, and definition — but if you prefer, they also have a Volume Curling (which is thicker for a bolder look) and a Fine formula (so pretty for no-makeup days and bottom lashes!). It does dry *super* quickly on my lashes, so I have to move fast while applying, and at the end of the day, I gently rub my eyes with my trusty Anua oil cleanser and have had zero problems with removal (and my lashes are super delicate). I never got complimented on my eyes until I started wearing this, so there's nooo way I'll stop any time soon! Promising review (for the Long Curling formula): "This is one of the very best mascaras I have ever tried, and as a 67-year-old with a lifetime addiction to trying new makeup, I've tried hundreds of mascaras over the years. The formula stays in place, doesn't smudge, and keeps my lashes curled all day. It gives me great length, and the brush seems to find even the tiny lashes. The brush is also easy to control, and works great on lower lashes as well as upper lashes — and it's reasonably priced, too. I had no problem at all removing this mascara, either. Just shake the bottle well before saturating a cotton round with the right kind of micellar water, then hold the saturated pad on your lashes for about 15 seconds, then gently wipe away the mascara. This mascara is so good, it will replace my $34 waterproof premium brand mascara that's been my favorite for a couple of years. Clio, please don't ever stop making it!" —Nebraska Native in Pennsylvania Price: $8.94 (originally $14.90; available in six styles, four colors, a three-pack, and as a remover — see all Clio Professional deals here) Promising review (for the Bum Bum Cream): "Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive lotion...then I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I’m not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it." —Kristen Get a two-pack of the body fragrance for $52 (originally $65; available in five other scents) and the Bum Bum cream for $57.60 (originally $72; available in five other sizes — see all Sol de Janeiro deals here). This includes the main unit, a tapered barrel, longer barrel, fast dryer, dryer + flyaway attachment, large round volumizing brush, the soft smoothing brush, a filter cleaning brush, and a case. Promising review: "Frugal, busy working mom with “average” highlighted hair decided to spring for this as a Christmas present to myself. And wow, has it delivered. Dries my hair significantly faster and so easy to use the multiple attachments, depending on my time available. Provides long-lasting voluminous blowout that allows me to go three to four days without washing (with dry shampoo and a fourth day ponytail). But I also use it for quick dry of my six-year-old daughter’s sensitive hair, and rough-dry our dog. 😆 If you’re on the fence, I’m here to tell you this kit is worth adding to your beauty routine toolbox." —Laura Price: $499.99 (originally $649.99 — see all Dyson deals here) Promising review: "Very pretty color. Lasts a long time, doesn't smudge when dry, and when I think I need to reapply, I can just put a new coat over it and looks good as new. Love it!" —Shawn Price: $6.90 (originally $9.90; (available in 39 shades) Check out a TikTok of the Biodance mask in action. Promising review: "Oh…my god…. 🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? I put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had filler. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks <3" —Kichi Price: $15.20 (originally $19; also available in a pack of 16 and three other formulas — see all Biodance deals here) Promising review: "I love this product and have been using it for several years. It is easy to apply and doesn't smear. I use the medium brown color, which I find to be on the dark side of medium brown — almost a dark brown. The color is flattering without being too dark. The quality is consistent. The consistency is easy to work with — thick enough and it doesn't flake off. I wish it cost less, but it does cost less than the higher status brands." —Lyn Price: $12 (originally $16; available in 12 shades — see all Anastasia Beverly Hills deals here) Promising review: "I love this so much I bought a few other colors. I love that it feels cool to the touch and the color is fairly intense. It does dry quickly so you need to make sure to apply it quickly. I do use either a damp makeup sponge or a brush to use it as a blush." —CTNY Price: $20.80 (originally $26; available in six shades and in a gift set) — and shop all the Milk deals here These are thin enough that you can wear them during the day without them being too obvious, but they also make an Invisible+ Patch if you prefer! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says: "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets! Promising review: "These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." —Chris C. Price: $18.25 for a pack of 75 (originally $22.90; also available in packs of 36 and 72 — see all Hero Cosmetics deals here) Note that the AAD 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 try to always buy the highest SPF that I can find. This one fits the bill. If you apply it thoroughly all over and then reapply every few hours, you shouldn't get burned. I've worn it to the water park numerous times now. I have very sensitive skin, and it's given me no issues. I even put it on my face, just being careful not to get too close to my eye area. Once it absorbs into your skin, it doesn't feel too sticky like some other sunscreens can. Just be aware that it will leave a white residue on your bathing suit if you get it on there, but I've always been able to wash it out and that's a small price to pay for proper sun protection!" —Jeanette's Mom Price: $6.88 (originally $9.88; also available as a stick) Note that the AAD 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’ve been using the COSRX Airy Light Clear Sunscreen Stick every day since I received it, and I’m in love! My face is usually oily, but this sunscreen helps so much—it leaves a nice matte finish without any white cast. It rolls on smoothly with no flakes or clumps, and it’s perfect for reapplying during the day. This has become my holy grail sunscreen, and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing. Highly recommend if you have oily skin and want something lightweight and easy to use!" —Maira Moreno Price: $16.10 (originally $23; also available as a lotion and in a two-pack with the lotion and stick — see all Cosrx deals here) The foundation oxidizes, so reviewers suggests choosing a shade lighter. Check out this TikTok of the TirTir cushion foundation. Promising review: "I should have ordered this foundation as soon as I saw it on TikTok!! I waited months because I’ve bought “viral” foundation before and it wasn’t any good. This, however, is perfection! It is the perfect shade match for my skin and goes on so smooth. The tiniest bit covered my entire face. I did a wear test without powder or setting spray and it stayed on amazingly. It didn’t rub off when I touched my face like other foundations do. Also, it didn’t settle into my fine lines. This is my new go to foundation!" —Stephanie D. Price: $20 (originally $25; available in 40 shades, two sizes, and a matte or dewy finish — see all TirTir deals here) Promising review (for the eye serum): "I've tried many eye creams but this is the one I always come back to, and I've been using this for 3+ years. I don't have dark circles, just puffy eye bags and the eye cream helps me keep them under control and it looks great under my makeup. I apply my eye cream in the mornings on my work days and on my non-work days, I apply them at night. I read it's safe to use twice a day but because it has retinal, I personally don't risk it. All in all, it's a great eye cream and I'd recommend you to at least try it out to see if it works for you!" —Christina Get the cleanser for $9.75 (originally $13; available in two sizes) and the eye serum for $11.90 (originally $17; available in two sizes — see all Beauty of Joseon deals here). Check out a TikTok of the glow oil in action. Promising review: "I am shocked by how pretty it is and how good it smells. Also, great price and great quality. It’s not too greasy, just really nicely moisturizing :)." —Faith Bremmer Price: $6.98 (originally $8.99 — see all body care deals) And if you'd prefer to apply with a tanning mitt like the creator in the video, you can get one from Amazon for $5.99. Promising review: "I really wanted to find an eyeshadow that was easy to put on, lasted, and did not crease. Well, I found it. Lasts all day and love the color, so I bought a second color as well." —Bridget Gwaltney Price: $11.49 (originally $20; available in 39 shades — see all Julep deals here) Promising review: "So basically, I've found my signature scent for life. It's the perfect grown-woman vanilla. Sweet without being cloying, sensual and layered but girlish and playful, this is my everyday scent. It's quite strong, so you don't need much. I can apply it in the morning and still smell it on me hours later. And can we talk about the bottle? Absolutely gorgeous, wow. It's even lovelier in person. I use it as décor on my desk. So basically, you get a neat little decorative sculpture and a delicious-smelling perfume rolled in one. Sweet! It's pricey, for sure, but it lasts forever. I think it's worth every penny. I'm only now on my second bottle, and I've used it every day for over a year. Will 10/10 repurchase for eternity. (I will warn that people are VERY fond of it. I mean, it's a musky vanilla. if you're not willing to beat them off with a bat, maybe skip this one. You think I'm joking, and I am, but I'm not. You WILL be sniffed. Don't say I didn't warn you)." —Gigi Price: $47.59 (originally $68; available in four other sizes — see all fragrance deals here) Promising review: "This satin pillowcase is a great budget-friendly option! While it’s not quite as luxurious as my Blissy pillowcase, it still does a really nice job —especially for the price. It has that smooth, silky feel that helps reduce hair frizz and feels gentle on the skin. It’s also easy to wash and holds up well, which is perfect for everyday use. I especially love using these for the kids — they get the benefits of a softer pillowcase without worrying about ruining a more expensive one. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable alternative that still feels nice and does the job. Great value and perfect for families!" —Shea Price: $15.18 (originally $19.99; available in 16 colors/prints — see all Kitsch deals here) Promising review: "The TEXTURE! Is so gooood; occlusive, smooth and slidey, yes a bit sticky but it’s a treatment, not a daytime lip product so I’m not concerned. The way this changed my lips in 24 hours is unmatched! And yeah I don’t drink enough water, I lick my lips too much, I live in an extremely dry climate, I forget to chapstick-up, I do allll the things that give me dry lips. But this is a savior to that! This is holy grail lip rescue, and worth every penny. I was using Fenty night treatment annnnd this just became my new go-to." —Desiree M. Price: $20.80 (originally $26 — see all Laneige deals here) Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. See what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit pricey compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT." Promising review: "Busy tired mom approved! I have a teenager, a toddler, and a baby under a year old 🥴. Plus I run two businesses with my hubby. Mama's tired!! This is so fast and easy, doesn’t clog pores, and goes on smooth. Definitely need to blend edges around the hair line but I like! Gives a dewy feel without drying out your skin. Give it a try for sure. The spray is a bit messy, eh still good stuff." —Sadie M Price: $13.98 (originally $29.99; available in 12 shades — see all Jerome Alexander deals here) Promising review: "I was SO tired of the chemical taste of the other creams I had before, the ones “just for face”. I was so suspicious and uncertain in buying this one (a big bowl), but decided to give a try cause of the high rating. And I’m finally VERY HAPPY with my choice: no chemical smell at all, no coloring (absolutely white), very moderate structure (doesn't leave my hands of face greasy at all!!!). And YES, I’m using it all day long for the mouth, lips and nose areas moisturizing, and enjoying each time. One big bowl of cream for everything. I regret I didn't try this one before, that’s why I have some other creams, but this one is my favorite!!! Very highly recommended for the ones who are tired of finding the right cream. The price is very affordable for this amount of cream. It will last for a long time even if you are using only this cream for everything." —Mariia Ven Price: $12.35 (originally $15.79; available in four other sizes and as a two-pack) Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. Great matte coverage, easy to apply, hides pores, and lasts all day. It's SPF 30 so it protects your skin from premature aging. This is hands down the best tinted moisturizer I have used. You may want to use a setting spray like their Mineral Veil. Bare Minerals products are fantastic." —btownjhawk Price: $27.30 (originally $39.50; available in 17 shades — see all Bare Minerals deals here) Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 1c–4c texture mentioning it worked for them. Promising review: "Best hair mask I ever bought! I have thin straight hair and my daughter has thick curly hair. The mask worked like magic on both of us. Made our hair very soft and silky. Doesn't leave a greasy residue but instead leaves your hair soft, shiny, and silky." —Pam Price: $19.95 (originally $24.95; available in five other formulas, four sizes, and as a two-pack — see all Marée deals) Note: This is a repairing treatment, NOT a conditioner! To use, apply it before your shampoo to damp, towel-dried hair, let it sit for at least 3 minutes (up to 10 for maximum results), then follow it up with your go-to shampoo and conditioner. It's designed for all hair types. Promising reviews: "This tiny little magical oil has done everything it promotes, plus much, much more! I can’t live without this now! I've been using it on my very thin, dried-out, frizzy curls — it solves it all! My hair after one use was noticeably different but now it looks thick, healthy, shiny, and after six weeks of using it twice a week. It looks like I got a fresh haircut! My hair is noticeably healthier, and other people see a difference! Don’t hesitate to get this! I wish I had it sooner!" —Katie "I'm transitioning to natural, and Oplalex is great for restoring moisture and helping with breakage. I have 4c delicate hair, and this product is perfect. Especially great in restoring my hair nutrition when coming out of protective hairstyles." —Jeanette Price: $25.50 (originally $34; available in two other sizes — see all hair care deals) Promising review (for the setting spray): "I am super impressed with the setting spray! I’ve never tried a setting spray before, but I was heading to Hawaii on vacation and I needed something that was going to keep my makeup in place for very long nights. Especially in the humidity! This 100% did the trick! It was small enough that I was able to pack it in my cosmetics bag and carry it onto the plane as well, which was a bonus. It has zero smell, and no oiliness at all and dries very quickly. I felt very glowy and fresh afterwards! I think it’s an excellent value for the money and I would absolutely order again." —Devon McCollum Get the eyeliner for $18.40 (originally $23; available in 17 shades) and the setting spray for $27.20 (available in two sizes and as two-packs — see all Urban Decay deals here).
