Not you with a lil’ bit of a crush on this foot peeling spray and these smoked sea salt flakes.

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.

You can use this for your face and neck, or even use it on your under-eyes to de-puff and help prevent dark circles! 

Promising review: "The holy grail. Caved because I saw this on TikTok. I am SO impressed, literally my first time using and the results are surreal. Incredible product!!!! Literally Botox in a bottle. My skin is smooth, soft, and so glowy on top of the wrinkle-reducing effect." —Jenny Skinner

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

Check out a TikTok of the nail polish in action. 

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 

Check out a TikTok of the Sunkissed Poppy Hand Soap in action. 

I am so very in love with this dreamy, floral, slightly sweet soap that I refuse to stock my bathroom with anything else. It's so fresh and lovely without being overpowering and feels so nice on my skin. I have to wash my hands a lot because of NYC public transit and diaper changes, but my hands are never dry from using this. 

I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that, for some reason, I am always more comfortable in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear leggings, and I'm happy to report that after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. 

Promising review: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, but I tried these first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $32 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). 

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

Check out a TikTok of the under-eye brightener in action. 

Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I love the larger roller ball, the cooling effect, and the instant depuffing of my eyes. Will definitely keep on hand!" —TRISTA T. 

Get it from Amazon for $8.95+ (available in a steel or rose quartz rollerball). 

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

Check out a TikTok of the Peanuts x Touchland collab in action. 

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! 

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

Get it from Amazon for $7.59+ (available in a two-pack and in gold). 

Check out a TikTok of the rainbow Astercook knife set in action. 

Promising review: "These things are SHARP! Lol. Nice, clean, easy cutting. Have zero problems cutting into anything. Watch those fingers! I haven't worked with such sharp knives in a while, and these will bite if you're not super careful. But I also like to sharpen knives after almost every use as well. Sheath is a must-use for safety. Very durable, handles well. I haven't experienced any rust, and they're comfortable to use. And the colors are a nice contrast to the bland everyday of regular knife sets." —Shawna

Check out a TikTok of the corner lamp in action. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this corner lamp! It was very easy to assemble and fits perfectly into the corner without taking up much space. The design is sleek and modern, and it instantly elevated the look of my room. The lighting is bright but not harsh, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. I especially appreciate how evenly it illuminates the space — perfect for relaxing in the evening or adding ambiance without overhead lights. It feels sturdy and well-made, especially for the price. I’ve received several compliments on it already and would definitely purchase again." —Keeli 

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (also available in a two-pack). 

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

"Wow, does this work amazingly! I discovered this from a TikTok video, and I am so pleased with how this works. It is literally like magic; my feet have never been this soft." —Brian

I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. 

Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart. 

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in pink honey and nude honey, plus coordinating eye shadow palettes, mascaras, AND eyeliners!). 

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

I've been using these for awhile, and I love them! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I get a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night, and I definitely see a difference in that area in particular. 

Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard. Those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N. 

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. 

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

Check out a TikTok of the Dreo tower fan in action. 

I live in an apartment with a wall air-conditioning unit that simply DOES NOT do the trick when it's 90+ degrees outside. This gizmo is an absolute lifesaver. The air actually feels COOL, and it's so quiet that if the air weren't blowing on me, I wouldn't even know it was on. I love how adjustable the fan speed is and that you have options to let it rotate or not, because I work from home and I am very picky about my working environment. I also appreciate how modern and sleek it looks! You hardly notice it, despite it being so tall. 

Promising review: "I am INCREDIBLY sensitive to noisy fans when I’m trying to sleep at night. I have tried so many different fans, and this is the first and only one that has been COMPLETELY silent, besides just hearing air come out of it. No clicking, no nothing. It’s incredible. I just bought another one for my office." —Lori Perkins

Get it from Amazon for $89.92+ (available in three colors and with or without enabled Wi-Fi). 

I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews, and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs with other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry. 

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday, and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday, and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).

Check out a TikTok of the Dae styling cream in action. 

Dae is a small business that specializes in haircare and styling products. 

Promising review: "This is the second time I've bought this product. It might seem pricey, but honestly, it's not. I used it every day for my slicked-back ponytail, and it lasted me a long, long time. It smells amazing. It holds really well without making your hair feel crusty or greasy. It actually feels natural and soft." —Pedro ramos

Check out a TikTok of the smoked sea salt in action. 

Promising review: "The smoky sea salt by Maldon is the best by far that I have found. I love the crunch and flavor. I put it on my steaks and on my vegetables and baked potatoes, and top my scrambled eggs with it. I suggest buying two boxes." —Kimberly Yarbrough

Check out a TikTok of the nausea relief inhaler in action. 

My fetus was a menace to society in my first trimester, and I was nauseous all day and night. Nothing I ate or drank could make it go away, but NOT eating made it somehow worse, so in between meals this was a quick way to get some relief. It wasn't a cure-all, but the distinctive herbal scent helped get me closer to baseline when I really needed it during the workday! I also loved how tiny it was for taking in my bag. 

Promising review: "Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy, I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!" —Willy&Lilly

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of four). 

Joesoef Skin Care is a small business that specializes in anti-acne skincare products. 

Check out a TikTok of the sulfur soap in action. 

I've had hormonal acne on and off my entire adult life and tried so many things that didn't work that I just accepted that I'd have to deal with it forever. I came across this product while writing a BuzzFeed skincare post a few years back and tried it for myself. I have gotten like, maybe 10 zits since then (and I'm not even sure if they count, because it was when I was pregnant). I use this once a day at night and follow up with La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer and the combo made my hormonal acne vanish!  

Promising review: "I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, it is not overwhelming, and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." —Sandy G

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in multipacks). 

I am in my mid-30s now and know which products are best to clean certain things in my home, but when I was in my twenties, I most certainly did not. This was the PERFECT cleaning catch-all for someone who didn't know what they were doing. I used it on my caked-over pans, to clean the stainless steel sink, and to clean all the bathroom grime. It's also a dream come true for a renter, because it is super tough on messes, but never scratches surfaces or peels paint off of them. (Trust me — I had to use this stuff to get red wine off the wall once after I left a bottle on top of the fridge and it unceremoniously smashed all over the place. Did I mention I was a hot mess in my 20s??) 

Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in five sizes — and also available in a new SQUEEZEABLE version!!).

Check out a TikTok of the Wonderskin Blush Stick in action. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love the Wonderskin pHlush Stick! The color it creates when it reacts with my skin's pH is beautiful and natural-looking — like a custom blush shade made just for me. One of my favorite things about this product is its versatility. I can use it on both my cheeks and lips, which makes it perfect for a quick, coordinated look. The formula is wonderfully moisturizing and glides on effortlessly without tugging or dragging. Unlike many cream blushes, it doesn't leave any residue, feels completely non-sticky, and blends beautifully. It also has a very light, refreshing minty sensation that feels pleasant on the skin, and I appreciate that it's essentially fragrance-free." —EnGee

I will scream this thing's virtues on every corner of this earth. I used this on an eight-day international trip. It fit a veritable arsenal of products — all of my skincare, makeup, hair supplies, toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant were wedged in the different pockets, and still compacted easily and went right into my carry-on backpack. It made setting up at the hotel a two-second process of hanging it up and having all my products instantly accessible to me and easy to put away. I cannot imagine traveling without it, especially now that I've used it on a multi-city trip where it was so handy to fold back up and take through several hotels. At one point, I forgot to properly close a lotion, and it exploded a bit, and the bag was super easy to clean from the inside! 

Get it from Amazon for $12.91+ (available in two sizes and 12 colors). 

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action.

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim

Check out a TikTok of the Tumella Umbrella in action.

I am originally from Seattle, so I hate umbrellas of all kinds!! But I bought this one on Prime Day because the only way to take my baby out in the rain in NYC is to wear him in a carrier and hold an umbrella above us. This thing is HARDY. We have had some of the biggest, wildest winds and sideways rain in New York this summer, and this thing never flinches. I also ADORE the instant open with a button, which I only have to use one hand for. It's super compact and slides easily back into its waterproof cover to store for later. I can't believe how affordable this umbrella is, given how well it holds up and how well it's designed! 

Promising review: "Why would anyone want to purchase another umbrella with the warranty this one gives? Not like you will need the warranty with this build quality. Almost every umbrella I have owned has five, maybe six, thin metal rods held together with a tiny pin to form the frame. This thing has reinforced ribs, is as light as you can get, looks great, and all at a low price. Yeah, this is all I need." —E. Smoker

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 25 colors and packs of two). 

Check out a TikTok of the Bella toaster in action. 

Psst — if you're looking to save space in your kitchen and don't want to sacrifice on aesthetic, check out Bella's matching line of compact, affordable kitchen appliances! 

There are three reasons I love this toaster: One, I have a small NYC kitchen and very little appliance real estate. Two, I love love love giant slices of sourdough toast, and this is one of the only toasters long enough to fit an entire slice and toast it all at once. And three, it is VERY cute. I've toasted just about everything a person can toast in this gizmo, and she's done a great job every time. I can't believe how useful it is at this price point! 

BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly loves this too: "I didn't have enough space for a toaster before I discovered it from our BF Shopping stories! Before that, I was turning on the oven for a single piece of breakfast toast, which I think we can all agree was a bit silly." 

Promising review: "The narrow width of this toaster helps free up real estate on my small countertop, plus it accommodates two slices of toast, English muffins, or bagels as well as a regular-width toaster. It comes in a beautiful teal color, which I love. And the three toast levels ensure you don’t burn food, and the quality of the toast is just right — from light to brown. I highly recommend it!" —Joyce Hill

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five styles and two other sizes). 

Check out a TikTok of the Ugg Classic Micro Boots in action. 

If my feet could write love songs, they would have penned a Billboard hit for these boots. I am obsessed with them in the cooler months. They are SO so so so so so so so comfortable. I walk around five miles a day and these hold up beautifully and feel amazing the entire time. They also style so well with jeans and leggings that when I have "ah, what shoes do I wear with this??" indecision, the Uggs win out every time. Also, they hit SO different when I was pregnant — getting to put these on my feet was one of my main motivators for getting out the door in the third trimester, and they were also so lovely for easing back into activity postpartum! 

Get them from Ugg for $140 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and seven colors). 

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

Check out a TikTok of the Lulu Candle in action. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice, strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). 

Check out a TikTok of the fan in action.

I bought this because my son is a tiny prince, and I will not let him roast in this NYC heat!! And oh boy, are we both in love with it. He luxuriates in it as it blows back the three or four hairs on his head, and I feel at ease knowing something is keeping him comfortable. When we get home during walks on hot days, he's never overheated. If we eat outside, I'll put him in my lap and position the fan on the table to blow on both of us, so I can confirm that the gust is LOVELY and oh-so-cooling. I am also stunned by how long it lasts! I had it on full blast once and forgot to turn it off, and it was still going five hours later on one charge! 

Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in eight colors).  

Promising review: "Holy grail. This is my favorite moisturizer! Its consistency is perfect — I have combo skin, and I struggle to find something that leaves my skin soft and not sticky or lacking the moisture I need, and this meets both of those. It’s also extremely lightweight, zero greasiness at all, smooth, and has no weird smells. I will forever buy this. It’s helped repair my barrier and keep my skin looking vibrant." —Liss

"Just buy it. It’s not a TikTok fluke. It moisturizes without leaving skin greasy. It doesn’t have a scent, so it’s great for sensitive skin." —Jennifer

Check out a TikTok of the BrüMate Rise Water Bottle in action. 

I have been on the hunt for a leakproof, "throw it in your bag" water bottle for a long time, and this is the holy grail of them. I've had this thing knocked off my couch and rolling all over my living room so many times now that I know for a fact it keeps its promises. I am the mom to a very curious little baby boy who likes to lunge and grab for things, so having this in my arsenal has been a total lifesaver in the spill department. I am especially impressed by how long it stays cold! I put my iced tea in here every morning, and by the time I wash it out at night, the ice is still perfectly intact. I also just love the sipping experience! The straw is very soft and satisfying to use. 

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in 19 colors and three sizes). 

Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. 

Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year, and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get-togethers with friends, and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $22.91 (available in two colors). 

Check out a TikTok of the existentially fraught duck night-light in action. 

I ordered this because I needed it. It makes me happy to behold him. I've had him for years, but especially loved him when I had my son and needed a buddy with me in the trenches during late-night feeds. I'd be like, "Wow, that attempt at a crib transfer was an epic disaster," and my little pal would be like 😐😐😐. 

Here's what BuzzFeeder Rebecca O'Connell says about it: "My husband got me this light as a gift, and I can confirm it's very cute. If you firmly tap or squeeze it, you can toggle between three brightness settings. It's not bright enough to read by, but it works quite nicely as a night-light or for mood lighting. The legs are wiggly, which is definitely a selling point for me." 

Get it from Amazon for $15.29 (available in two styles).
