The joy you’re about to feel unearthing this warm vanilla sugar foaming hand soap and these gorrrrgeous Band-Aids from The Met truly can’t be beat.

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.

Promising review: "Love love love. Arrived quickly, so cute, and smells amazing. 🪸" —Makenna

Price: $11.89 (available in 18 other scents) 

Check out a TikTok of The Met x Band-Aid collab in action. 

Promising review: "So totally awesome. 😬 I needed new Band-Aids — I’m always doing something ridiculous, and with these, so pretty. I have one cat that likes to let me know when she’s done with pets, and I have claw marks from her — not to mention my general clumsiness with gardening and cooking. Love them!!" —Mom the Handyman

You can mix two of these five flavors: Champagne (which shimmers!), Blue Cream Soda, Sweet Candy, Orange, and Lemon. 

Promising review: "I am not exaggerating when I say that I saw a difference in my neck lines within a few days. It works, but I wish it came in a tub. I have been dabbing a little under my eyes, and it seems like it’s working to reduce some of my age-related hollowing. I think I will try the stick version to target other areas." —Kira

Check out a TikTok of the butter squishy in action. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this butter stick squishy! The soft texture and slow-rising design make it incredibly satisfying to squeeze and play with. It’s perfect for relieving stress during busy workdays and keeps my hands occupied while I focus. The bright yellow color is cute and cheerful, and it has held up well with regular use. It also makes a great desk toy, party favor, or small gift for kids and adults alike. A fun, calming, and high-quality squishy that I highly recommend!" —Milagros Lopez

Price: $7.99+ (available in a two-pack and in gold) 

Promising review: "I was not expecting this brush to be so amazing. I usually use a Wet Brush, and NO MORE of that. This one doesn't pull when the Wet Brush did. Feels amazing on my scalp. Just a very refreshing brush to find. I would definitely recommend this to everybody who has a hard time brushing their hair (even kids), very soft, and the price is excellent as well. Love love love this brush. Would definitely buy again and again." —Katy Shoemaker

Price: $7.99 (available in four colors) 

Touchland is a small business that specializes in scent mists and hand sanitizers. 

As the mother of a baby boy, I have made Snoopy my new religion, so I was THRILLED beyond belief at this collab. It smells just as beachy, luscious, and laid back as it says it does, and is the perfect casual scent to spray on the way out the door. I love how light and subtle it is compared to other scents, too — especially since I am snuggling that baby so much. I already love all of Touchland's body mists (the Peachy Lychee and Golden Amber are outta this WORLD), but this is like a happy summer hazy daydream! Highly recommend! 

Promising review: "This is the best knock-off Scrub Daddy/Mommy. It cleans just like the original, doesn't scratch your pans, and gets all the grease and baked-on dirt that’s left on your plates, pots, or pans. Works well and activates to soft when under hot water or hard when under cold water. Easy to use and doesn’t smell. Rinses the food or grease off with no problem. Hopefully, they do not go up in price. I received three cute smiley face sponges that have eyebrows, so they would definitely fit on your Scrub Daddy suction cup if you have one. This is now my go-to sponge for dishes, bathroom cleaning, and my baseboards." —Deeva

Price: $8.99+ for a set of three (available in eight styles) 

Promising review: "All three were great! Loved the scents! There's great foaming and no leakage. They are very effective in cleaning my hands, with a thick, gentle foam." —Jeanne M. Foster

Promising review: "I adore the original Dove scent and love anything gourmand, so when I saw this, I had to grab it. It’s DELICIOUS! Not overly nutty like Eos Pistachio. This smells very clean and leans more toward warm vanilla with a hint of pistachio. It’s light, but you can smell it. My boyfriend loves how this smells too, and kept smelling me after the shower lol. Might have to grab another bottle." —K

Price: $7.99 (clip the coupon on the product page for this price) 

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) 

Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge type cleaning pad were the only thing that worked transforming this very dirty tub into cleaner than clean. Very little muscle power necessary. A little goes a long way. It takes off the worst of things and leaves a kind of ceramic coat behind. It’s amazing." —Glinda

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: $7.97 (available in three flavors) 

Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! I am an RN, and I am on my feet for 13+ hours during my shifts. Over the past four years, my feet (and pinkie toes) have taken a beating. Cracked, peeling, dry, hard...I was embarrassed to wear flip-flops, not only for my fifth toe, but because my heels were flaky, peeling, and horrid. I had tried pedicure tools to no avail. THIS. This product healed my feet. I have only used one application so far, but my feet are like 90% better. I am wearing flip-flops! And my pinkie toes are almost healed! It's incredible! I am so very happy with my results, and I highly recommend this product." —Rachel L 

Promising review: "It’s so awesome. I’ve had it for a year now and still working great. Lots of ports. Well-made, and it fits perfectly. So easy to install." —privs

Price: $9.99 (available in four styles) 

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

Promising review: "Great price compared to Miniso! I got a pink one there last week for twice the price. This is name-brand and exactly the same. Love The Creme Shop and all of its products. Miffy makes it even better!" —Cameron

Price: $12.59 (available in Marshmallow, Apple, Mango, and Rose)

Promising review: "I use Cerave's moisturizer. This new product surpasses. Light: a little goes a long way and smooths beautifully on and into the face. Doesn't take much. Will def buy again. It feels so nice, smooth, nongreasy. Just right." —S. Field

Price: $19.49 (clip the coupon on the product page for this price) 

Promising review: "Great hair dryer. I have wavy fine low porosity hair that has been colored and have Graves disease, which causes issues with hair. This dryer is fast, has great cooling air, and helps with frizz." —reader985

Price: $63.99 (available in three colors) 

Promising review: "Durable and good value for the money. Luggage can get expensive, and I thought this was a good price for what I needed, and so far it’s been perfect.  I have used it now several times, and it has held up well. I have also yanked at the zippers a few times, and nothing has broken. It rolls very easily, making it easy to maneuver. I can also fit quite a lot inside. I have used it for weekend and week-long trips in which I packed several pairs of pants, jeans, and jackets. It’s also visually very cute, which is what originally drew me to it. I get SO many compliments on it every time I use it. It also fits nicely on my closet shelf when not in use. Would recommend!" —Allison 

Price: $109+ (available in two colors and two larger sizes) 

Promising review: "Love love love! I always use the Scrub Daddy and Mommy, but when I saw Minnie Mouse, I had to give it a shot. My daughter saw it in the sink and said, 'It’s Minnie Mouse!' Then she wanted to help with the dishes. She’s three years old, so that turned into a bigger mess, but definitely a priceless memory! If you’re a Disney fan, this is a must!" —Daniela Leavitt 

Psst — reviewers say to size up one size! 

Promising review: "Cute, good quality, comfortable. Just size up one size." —Osaris R. 

Price: $34.98 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and three colors) 

Promising review: "This is the cutest hand cream on the planet. 🥹💖 It looks like a Tamagotchi!!! Non-greasy, fast-absorbing, long-lasting scent, AND it comes with a customizable sticker pack. You can clip it onto things like a keychain. I decorated it and hid it in my daughter’s backpack as a little surprise — she was OBSESSED." —n a r e e ˘◡˘♡

Price: $12.99 (available in five scents). 

Promising review: "It locks onto my KitchenAid mixer bowl securely and doesn't budge, even at medium speeds. I love that I can add ingredients without stopping the mixer. The engineering is spot-on!" —Coy

Price: $9.16+ (available in five colors) 

(It goes without saying that you don't need to lay your edges if you don't want to, but this is an option if you do.) 

Promising review: "Love this. I look like I walked out of a windstorm most days with my flyaways. Say goodbye to them. No greasy look. My hair is so thin I have to comb it a certain way to hide the thinness." —Marie Weir

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

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

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "Wonderful full-bodied scents. Bought a couple. Nice presentation. Definitely buying more of these for gifts." —RoZ

Price: $24.95 (available in 18 other scents) 

Promising review: "I’ve been using the Kill Lash Superproof mascara from Clio for a few months now, and it’s honestly the best mascara I’ve tried. For context, I have straight lashes and deep-set, hooded eyes, so most mascaras either won’t hold a curl or end up smudging under my eyes after a few hours. Even tubing mascaras, which I’ve had some success with, don’t really keep my lashes lifted and tend to come off too easily. This one is completely different. It actually holds the curl I put in at the start of the day and keeps it there. I’ve worn it for 12+ hours, and my lashes still looked lifted, which is something I’m just not used to. Normally, my lashes drop within 30 minutes, no matter what I do." —Cirecy

Psst — BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly says this is so smudgeproof that it's a little hard to get off, so you might want to invest in the Kill Lash Mascara Remover, too! 

For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my "daily wear" jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it (particularly this gold-plated ring and these chunky gold-plated earrings!). Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets! 

Promising review: "These earrings are the perfect size and look for everyday and also dressing up. I packed these for a recent resort trip with my husband’s company, and they were perfect for plane travel, wearing with swimsuits, and dressing up for fancy restaurants. The price is really great for such high quality. The earrings didn’t tarnish from pool, shower, or ocean water. The clasp has never come undone." —Reilly S. Leonard 

Price: $13.95 (available in two finishes) 

Promising review: "I’ve tried expensive ones from Sephora, but this one outperforms them all. The precision actually mimics real hair. This is officially my new holy grail. Maybelline never fails. Best drugstore brand, period." —CaliConsumer

Price: $14.99 (available in five shades) 

Promising review: "CUTEST candles that were perfect for a dirty martini lover!!!!" —Gthair

Promising review: "Had these for quite some time before tearing off the tags to wear them, and had so many compliments on them! I love them! Super comfy and fun." —Shannon Taylor

Price: $35.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 13 styles) 

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the Chom Chom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. Best I can describe, the Chom Chom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories. 

Promising review: "Great value and such a cool water bottle!" —Gandalf

Promising review: "I have acne-prone skin. This product makes my skin brighter, but not dry or oily at all. My skin looks really refreshed and smooth. My redness is also improving a lot. I use this one together with Matcha toner. They both work well on my skin." —Annie Le

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: $33.98+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 21 colors)

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) 

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Price: $24.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 styles)
