Promising review: "I love how EASY it is to apply this product! For a mom on the go, I need a quick makeup routine in the morning. This stick applies like a cream and dries as a powder. It gives me a perfect shimmer that lasts all day. I even use it in the corner of my eyes to give them a little extra pop. Love this product. Can’t wait to buy other colors! It even stayed on after a day at the beach! Comes off easily with makeup remover. Can’t say enough good things about this! Just buy it!" —Sarah Venters

Promising review: "Good Genes is a game changer for my skin! I’ve tried so many products before, and my skin always has a bad reaction because I’m so sensitive. I don’t know how they do it, but with this formula, I wake up looking like a baby, and it never irritates me. I use it every other night, and it’s completely cleared up my congestion around the chin and forehead area!" —Kristen G.

Get it from Amazon for $50+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "This eyeliner is everything! I wore it during my bikini fitness competition, and it was an absolute game changer. Not only did it sparkle under the stage lights, but it also stayed in place throughout the entire show — no smudging, no fading, just pure glittery perfection! I got so many compliments on how my eyes popped, and let’s just say my makeup artist was jealous. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, and the glitter payoff is unreal. If you're looking for a bold, eye-catching eyeliner that can withstand a sweaty competition or a night out, this is your new best friend. Totally worth the hype!" —Forbes Riley

Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in five shades).

Promising review: "After seeing this product on Oprah’s Favorite Things List in 2017, I was excited to try this hand cream and was not disappointed. The light, refreshing scent of grapefruit and cucumber was not overwhelming to the senses, but provided a fresh, clean smell and feeling on the hands. Very soft and easy to apply without any heavy oily/greasy sensation at all. After applying and rubbing in the cream, my hands feel rejuvenated, and yet it absorbs well enough that I can open door handles, jars, and other objects immediately after applying." —TreatPeopleKind

Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in six scents).

Promising review: "This was my first time trying press-on nails, and I am honestly so impressed. I did not know what to expect, but they turned out looking like a professional salon set. The application was very simple and beginner-friendly. I matched each nail to the closest size first, and each nail has a small number on the underside which made it easy to find and match the right sizes, then prepped my natural nails with a quick manicure. I trimmed and filed, pushed back my cuticles, and wiped my nails with alcohol pads to remove any oils. That prep step really made a difference in both the look and how well the nails stayed on. From start to finish, the whole process took less than 30 minutes." —Momo

Promising reviews: "My new favorite styling tool! It was very easy to learn how to use, and I did my hair with it for the first time in less than 10 minutes. I have curly hair that I dry straight with the L’ange dryer. I usually have to flat iron before I curl, but with this I can do it all in one step." —Sarah G

"WOW. Amazing and easy. I've never written a review within 30 minutes of receiving an item. I am a novice hairstyler at best. For the most part have given up on trying to do any type of style. But I was able to create beachy waves within five minutes of unboxing this item. I actually did exclaim 'WOW!' out loud to myself. 🙃 I'll have to work more at certain areas and what to do with my bangs, but wow. It's a keeper. I'm glad I made the choice to go ahead and get this. Way better than using my hair dryer + round brush, and way better than trying to make my old, cheap flat iron work on its own. —dogcrazy

Get it from Amazon for $59.97+ (available in two colors and for two styles).

Promising review: "This is the only lip gloss I always reach for. It lasts so long, and isn't sticky, but if you reapply, it totally perks up your look." —Mex

Get it from MAC Cosmetics for $16.80 (originally $24; available in 18 colors).

Promising review: "Great product, love the silk, which is clearly high quality, the tension of the elastic is good, and doesn’t stretch out quickly. Super comfy to have in your hair to sleep or otherwise." —Ashley

Get it from MaskShopCA on Etsy for $1.71+ (originally $3.41+; available in 25 colors and sets of three, five, seven, 10, or 12).

Promising review: "I’ve tried a lot of mascaras over the years, but this one really stands out. It completely lives up to the hype. The curved brush grabs every single lash, even the tiny ones, and gives an instant lift without needing a lash curler. My lashes look longer, more defined, and beautifully separated — no clumping at all. I also love that it holds the curl all day without flaking or smudging, even in humidity. You can build it up for a more dramatic look, or keep it natural for everyday wear. Plus, it doesn’t make my lashes feel stiff or crunchy." —Rich

Promising review: "This product gives my eyes the exact wake-up call they need. It is hydrating and refreshing, which is definitely needed this time of year. I already have many friends investing in this product." —Sarah L.

Get it from Tula Skincare or Amazon for $38 (available in five shades). 

Promising review: "Love the stick! I travel frequently and having makeup that isn't a liquid and still works well with aging skin makes travel so much easier." —Wendy

Get it from Nars for $40 (available in 12 shades).

Promising review: "Love this, it smells good, feels good, it doesn’t leave my hair tacky or looking crusty. It looks sleek and effortless!" —kelcie

Promising review: "I love this stuff. I’ve been using it for a decade, since having it at a fancy hotel I stayed at. It’s a thick hand cream that doesn’t leave a heavy film on your hands at all. No greasiness or waxy feeling, and it lasts. The smell is light with citrus that doesn’t smell like a kitchen cleaner (as some lemon-scented products do). It’s super pleasant and is my favorite hand lotion. It’s worth the money, and the best scent Bliss has, IMO." —Clarissa Olson

Get it from Amazon for $18.90 (available in six scents and a Gilmore Girls collab version).

Promising review: "The best balm to keep in my pocket. I work outdoors, and having my BDC in my pocket does wonders for my lips, brows, and nail beds! Ps., they also can survive the washing machine." —Bethany C.

Get it from Glossier or Amazon for $16 (available in 12 shades).

Promising review: "They're a cute way to hide a whitehead or pimple. I recommend to wait at least 15–30 minutes after applying moisturizer to avoid the star from moving. Your face has to be DRY. A lot of people say that the stars keep moving or slip, but the answer is that your face has to be dry. I wear these at work to hide a big red pimple if one is on my face, and I have received compliments from customers, and I even had my coworkers use them at work too :)" —Josh

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 11 colors and two sizes).

Promising review: "I rarely leave product reviews, but I’m so impressed with this shampoo that I had to share. From the very first wash, I noticed a difference. It gives that perfect clean feeling without stripping my hair or leaving it dry. My hair just feels strong again — light, bouncy, and shiny in a way it hasn’t in a long time. The scent is another standout. It smells luxurious — fresh, slightly warm, and salon-worthy — and it lingers just enough to make your hair smell amazing all day without being overpowering. Every time I wash my hair, it feels like a mini spa experience at home." —🌸 Lonna

Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "I’ve been using Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo for a long time, and it has completely changed my routine. I have very oily hair and used to wash it every single day, which took so much time and honestly felt exhausting. A friend recommended this product to me, and it has been an absolute game changer. This dry shampoo actually cleans my hair, absorbs all the oil, and keeps it looking fresh for days. I can easily go many days without washing, and my hair still feels clean, not powdery or heavy. It also gives me a nice boost of volume, even on days when my hair doesn’t look greasy but just needs a little lift. Sometimes I use it just for the extra body! If you struggle with oily hair or want to extend your wash days, this is seriously worth it. I won’t go without it!" —Nicole Baxter

Get it from Amazon for $33+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "LOVE these eye patches. I use them every day, but woke up with extra restored eyes this morning, and cannot recommend these patches enough. I use these (blue or purple) at night and usually the gold energizing ones in the mornings when I wake up, particularly tired looking. These are the only products that have worked for my skin and not broken me out after frequent use. There is a NOTICEABLE decrease in puffiness on my eyes, and the cooling factor is still sufficient without putting them in the fridge. Hands down, my favorite part of my nighttime skincare routine. Also, the best thing to give to friends with small gifts or to do after late nights out." —megan

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five varieties, three sizes, and two multi-pack options).

Promising review: "It is long-lasting." —views11111111

Get it from Nordstrom for $65 (available in eight shades).

Kit includes Mini What the Foundation, Mini Eye Cream, The Face Pencil, The Neutralizer Pencil, and a makeup bag.

Price: $73.50 (originally $98; available in 25 face pencil shades, nine neutralizer pencil shades, and 16 foundation shades).

Promising review: "I really enjoyed this hair perfume for my hair. The packaging looks nice and feels high-quality, and the size is perfect to keep in my bag. The scent has a warm, cozy, amber-style fragrance that smells elegant without being overwhelming. I’ve used it a few times and the scent lasted for several hours without making my hair feel greasy, sticky, or heavy. It works especially well after styling or when you want to refresh your hair between washes. For me, the best way to apply it was spraying from a distance and using a small amount. Overall, I’m happy with it and I think it’s worth trying if you like soft, warm, amber-inspired scents." —MayraSoulBloom Living

Get it at Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 11 scents and two mini-packs).

Promising reviews: "Incredible! My skin was extremely dry and ashy; even scratching it would leave white marks. After using this every other day for just two weeks, my skin looks so much better, hydrated, and glowing!" —Cristina

"As a professional makeup artist, I love this product. It’s a thick, creamy consistency and smells like essential oils. It’s great for people with normal or drier skin. I find that this product makes my skin appear very glowy. I love the way it hydrates and makes my skin shine. I use this product often on my clients and every day on myself." —Lillian Anderson

Get it from Amazon for $16.25+ (available as a single tube, three-pack, or six-pack).

Promising review: "She is that girl!!! ✨Saw this in a TikTok, it gives the perfect sunburnt color on my light/medium skin, and it blends out like a dream. I'm also acne-prone and have had no issues at all." —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $6.11+ (available in 13 shades).

Promising reviews: "Y'all, I don't even know the last time I left a review on Amazon! Buuuut, I had to with this product! I live in Houston, the land of ETERNAL HUMIDITY! This stuff really worked! I usually use two products to tame my mane (R+Co and Oribe) and solely used this product [instead]. I literally just brushed my hair after. No flat iron, NOTHING! What a time saver!!! I've done the expensive Brazilian treatments in the past and this is well worth the money even if I have to do it every two weeks. I'm on week two now and it's still good! Save yourself the money, time, and heartache of dealing with frizzy hair and BUY THIS!! My aunt also deals with frizzy hair and she already bought this and loved it!" —Linda Hernandez

"I’ve tried many anti-frizz products, but COLOR WOW Dream Coat truly makes a difference in humid weather. After blow-drying with it, my hair looks smoother, shinier, and stays sleek much longer. It feels lightweight (not greasy), and doesn’t weigh my hair down. The key is applying generously and using heat to activate it. If you live in a humid climate, this is worth trying." —CatalinaGarciaG

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I love these wipes! They have goat milk and aloe, which, for me, doesn't cause breakouts. The cloths are large enough so it only takes one to remove the sweat, makeup, or cleanse my face without drying my skin out. They leave my skin soft and smooth. I love the 30-count packs. They fit in my backpack, luggage, or purse. I also like the fabric of the wipe. The material has the light texture of a high-end washcloth and doesn't get torn up unless I tear it on purpose. I can give my whole body a gentle cleaning that makes me feel fresh and clean, especially when I'm sweating and not able to shower." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in 10 scents and two pack sizes).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this cream! The first thing I noticed was the smell — it’s light, clean, and really without being overpowering. The texture is amazing too. It’s rich and thick, but still absorbs beautifully into the skin without feeling greasy. My skin feels instantly hydrated after using it, and over time, I’ve noticed it looks smoother, firmer, and more plump. It gives that nice glowy look that makes your skin feel well taken care of. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts longer than expected. If you’re looking for a moisturizer that feels luxurious, deeply hydrating, and helps with elasticity and fine lines, this is definitely worth it. I’ll absolutely be repurchasing!" —Gina Marie

Promising reviews: "So beautiful! It adds glamour without being tacky. It’s a thinner liquid and dries quickly." —Erin

"One of my favorite eyeshadows. The amount of sparkle is perfect, and it stays all day without creasing. Love it!" —LinMak08
