That “buy now” button didn’t stand a chance against this new Toy Story body wash and these nostalgic jelly sandals.

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: "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

Promising review: "This matches the listing in style and flavor. I have a bunch of these, and this one is one of my favorites. The flavor is nice — noticeable without being too much and sweet without being sugary. I found it just as moisturizing as all the other Super Balms, and for the price (currently about $6), it's great compared to local stores." —Amanda

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 am a skincare snob. I spend way too much money on products. But over the last couple of years, I’ve been trying to find a new moisturizer with SPF that doesn’t bankrupt me. I need something that can help my dry skin, protect from the sun, and not irritate my sensitive skin. I was skeptical about this product, never having heard of the brand, but I gave it a try. I am SO thrilled with the results. This moisturizer is BETTER than the $55 alternative I have been using. It moisturizes like a dream. It doesn’t pill. And my sensitive skin loves it. I am THRILLED with my purchase and will definitely be back for more!" —R. Berry

Promising review (for Buzz): "Great shampoo. Zero fragrance. My son has eczema, and this shampoo doesn’t cause irritation or flare-ups! Highly recommend!" —Yohan Chappaz

Price: $10.32 for Woody and $11.47 for Buzz

Promising review: "My favorite dry shampoo! It smells great and truly is sweat-activated. I wear it during some heavy workouts, and I can smell it, and it helps keep my hair from being greasy if I have plans after." —Marianna Stutts

Cliganic is a small business that specializes in all-natural personal care products. 

Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action. 

Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me, but the number of bites I got last summer was WILD. Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day, and it seemed to work SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews, and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice, but both times I was outside and untouched. Delivery was very quick, so that was a plus. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hyper sensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." —Tracey Agopian

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 that 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: $9.99 (available in four colors)

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

Promising review: "Love these! Very comfortable to wear all day long. They don't keep their head away from the headrest when driving, which is incredibly important. I even wore one underneath a hat to a dress-up function and was still comfortable. The clip spring is strong and holds even my very long, thin, fine, and straight hair — no pulling, a few hairs, and very little slipping down even after hours of wear. They don't hang up in your hair like some metal ones do. These are the best hair holders I've ever bought, bar none." —Paint Mare

Price: $8.99 for a set of six (available in 14 color sets) 

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

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: "I get so many compliments when people see this on my desk! What a fun addition. It shines brilliantly on the walls when sunlight hits it! So fun. I am gonna get the smaller version for my coworker for Christmas." —Gunsaw

Price: $6.99+ (available in two styles and two sizes).

Promising review: "Omg! It’s better than I thought. I am a Black woman who suffers from dry skin in the winter season, but this oil is amazing, smooth, light, and smells good. This oil is great for helping skin glow with a light glimmer of glitter. I would say this is a must-buy for women of color. Yeah, thank me later, sis." —Amazon Customer

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) 

If the name rings a bell, it's likely because you've used or heard of this brand's beloved under-eye masks!! You can check out Grace & Stella's Amazon page to find those and more high-quality, affordable versions of beauty products.

Promising review: "This is a must! Feels like a cloud and way better than a hand towel to dry your face, the perfect self-care product." —Jennifer

Check out a TikTok of the butter squishy in action. 

Promising review: "I bought this soft toy to use on the desk, and I really like it. The material is soft, pleasant to the touch, and slowly recovers its shape after being tightened, which makes it very entertaining. The butter-like design is original and draws attention. It is comfortable to use, has no strong smell, and feels good quality. I use it to relax while I work or when I need to distract myself for a moment." —Camilo Hernández Almenares

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

Check out a TikTok of the sunglass goggles in action. 

Promising review: "I saw a video of these and immediately purchased them, but I honestly could not recommend these more! They are the only goggles I have ever had that do not fog up! Not to mention they are so cute and the tint is really nice!" —Morgan

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: "One of my kids' favorite summer time activities is these reusable water balloons. They are super easy to fill and are made with a really nice quality material, so they last. They don't float, but are great for a toddler pool or water table. The magnets are strong to keep the balloon together. Great product and provides hours of fun in the sun for my kids." —Paige

Price: $27.99 for a set of 12 (also available in six other packs). 

Promising review: "I never leave reviews, but this skirt is everything. Comfy, stretchy, so so cute. I'm normally a large, and I got a large, which fits perfectly. With the stretchy material, I would guess it's pretty easy to size up or down based on the fit you want." —Amazon Customer 

Price: $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors) 

Promising review: "This set of shoe washing bags turned out much better than I expected. The material is thick, so the shoes don't move around, and the soft inserts provide a truly deep clean from all sides. I especially liked the self-locking zipper, which prevents anything from opening during the wash cycle or getting tangled with other items. I tried washing sneakers and lightweight trainers both times. The results were excellent, leaving the shoes looking like new. After drying, the bags retained their shape and looked like new, so they'll definitely last a long time. A great accessory that saves time and takes care of your shoes." —Amazon Customer

Price: $19.99 (available in five colors) 

Check out a TikTok of the Therabreath toothpaste in action. 

Promising review: "TheraBreath Deep Clean is the best toothpaste I’ve tried! It keeps my breath fresh for hours, feels gentle on my gums, and leaves my mouth super clean. The mint flavor is refreshing without being too strong. Definitely recommend." —Maryna Ruzieva

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "I've been using the whitening toothpaste for a few weeks now, and my mouth just feels CLEANER without feeling like I'm a dragon blowing mint-flavored flames. It seems to deliver the same whitening power as other formulas from household-name brands. But what I love the most is that it's *much* easier to scrape my tongue after because there's less gunk *to* scrape and what's still there to scrape seems to be significantly loosened. Gross but true!"

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 

Price: $34.99+ (also available in a two-pack) 

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. 

Price: $12.95+ (available in a steel or rose quartz rollerball) 

Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action. 

Promising review: "My hair was starting to thin rapidly in my mid-20s. Thankfully, I caught it early. I started using this shampoo regularly, and haven’t done any other treatments. The thinning immediately slowed and eventually stopped. It’s six years later, and I still have a great, full head of hair. Judging by my family history, I should be totally bald by now, and this product is the only thing I've used. I credit this stuff with saving my hair! What a miracle!" —Amazon Customer

Psst — reviewers mention this is most effective when paired with a scalp massager to work it into their roots! 

Promising review: "This cute phone umbrella is the best little find! It works so well! My phone did not get hot at the beach, and you can see your phone screen just fine, too! The magnet is strong, and I love the extra ring to hold on to. I’m ordering more for gifts because this is so cute and it’s awesome!" —Gina 

Price: $18.99 (available in nine colors) 

It fits any phone up to 100 mm x 170 mm (or about 3.9 inches x 6.7 inches). It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options).

Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. I just assumed my phone would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office diver, and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it, and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" —Julie McDonald

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this case: "With these, I find that they're good for about a day due to condensation. So, for a trip, I'll buy two to three. I've used this case to take underwater pics, on boat rides, and have worn it with the lanyard, jumping off a boat into water. So, I really trust these!"

I get eyeball headaches like nobody's business, so I was very excited to try these out! My impulse is usually to put an ice pack on my head, but it's just too cold for me to stand it (and too inconvenient). These are super lightweight, easily stick to your forehead, and cool SO FAST it feels like witchcraft. I truly can't comprehend how all the cold comes from such a tiny patch!! It is just the right amount of cold to help numb the pain without distracting me while I'm trying to get work done, and the cold really does last for hours. I often still take a pain reliever when I get headaches, but they take forever to work on me, and these are an absolute godsend while I'm waiting. 

Promising review: "Feels like you're walking on a cloud. I’ve had these for two years and they still feel the same as when I got them. The color is identical to the picture on your screen and they feel like heaven. The price can’t be beat." —The Unordinary Mom 

Price: $23.99 (available in sizes 4–15 and men's sizes 3–16 and 16 colors) 

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

Promising review: "Run to get this! PURCHASE!! I ordered a large — I’m usually wearing an XL, however, it fit perfectly. It does not cut off my thighs, so so comfy! No bra needed, will be a staple this summer. It’s not overly thick, but it’s not cheap material. I’m obsessed!" —Andrea

Price: $29.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and eight colors) 

Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Check out a TikTok of the Disney x Touchland Power Mist in action. 

Promising review: "The perfect accessory for my last Disney trip. Not only is it adorable and add a bit of that Mickey flair, it is reusable (so I can just pop in another one of my favorite Touchland hand sanitizers), the initial spray is delightful and fresh, and the little key ring allows me to attach it right to my park bag, providing a simple ease and access to spray our hands after each ride around the parks. Super cute and highly recommended!" —Shelby Piper

Price: $20 (and check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options) 

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this! I am a terrible adult and rarely finish my soda because it goes flat (EW). This has been used every day since I got it. Easy to put on and easy to remove. Cinch to clean! It cuts my waste so far down. It stays in place, even when knocked over. I am clumsy, I haven't figured out how to body most days. It does not leak when knocked over. Even violently. Get it! You won't regret it." —Rachael Ryon 

Price: $11.99 for a set of four (clip the coupon on the product page for this price) 

Promising review: "Perfect coverage. I get compliments every time I wear it. Ordered the red color, which I usually hate, and only buy neutrals, but this one is gorgeous. Size large fits my 34DDD. Fabric underneath the buttons is genius. Getting on here to order more colors." —Brooke LT

Price: $14.24 (available in sizes S–XL and nine colors) 

Promising review: "Any Dolly lover would love this bottle brush. It is made well. It's slightly bigger than I expected when I received the item." —Lauren

Promising review: "These are literally the best gel pens out there — no competition. I’ve been obsessed with Gelly Roll pens since high school, and they’re still just as amazing! The ink is so rich, so thick, and perfectly pigmented that it can even completely cover/write over black paper like magic. Super smooth, super gelly, and always a joy to use. If you know, you know. 🖊✨" —Melody
