One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two; one for each eye.

The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand–based brand and small biz, Lovoir Beauty. 

Promising review: "Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly, so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before, and they were so watery and not close to the dark black I wanted at all, but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled two hours, walked around a city for about three hours, and it was warm, so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" —Elizabeth

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

Promising review: "I have hollow dark under-eye circles, and concealer never works for me bc it just makes my under eyes dry and doesn’t conceal the darkness. THIS STUFF IS MAGIC. It has a very hydrating formula, and a tiny bit goes a very, very long way. I’m so impressed and incredibly happy with this purchase!" —Val

Promising review: "I have not tried the name-brand brush, but grabbed this one to see if the design worked for my hair. Holy defined curls, Batman! I styled pretty much as usual, but used the brush to distribute the product (I use Innersense gel), lifting at the roots and letting the curls bounce after I released. This photo is after breaking the cast with some hair oil. My curls are never this defined. Don’t think twice about it: your curls need this brush." —Natalie Gonzalez

This set comes with five lash perm lotion packets, five lash setting lotion packets, five lash nourishing lotion packets, silicone pads in three sizes, five under-eye patches, lifting glue, five lash brushes, 10 lash cotton tips, a lifting brush, and a lifting ring. 

How does it work? It's pretty easy! Simply cleanse your lashes, place an under-eye patch to protect your skin, and apply glue to the pad size of your choice (wait 40 seconds, then press for one minute). Then, apply glue, perm lotion, setting lotion, and, lastly, the nourishing lotion. Let that sit for a minute, remove, and enjoy your gorgeously curly lashies.

Promising review: "I decided to try a lash lift kit to do it at home, since I wanted to save the cost of doing it in a salon. And the truth is that it was an excellent decision! The kit works 100%, achieving spectacular results. I loved the ease of use and how I could get raised and defined eyelashes without leaving home. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for an economical and effective alternative to enhance their look." —Roxana

Laboratoires Embryolisse is a French skincare brand based in Issy-les-Moulineaux.

Promising review: "This face cream is a skincare gem! It doubles as a makeup primer, creating a flawless canvas. The creamy texture feels luxurious, leaving my skin deeply moisturized without any greasiness. It's a multitasking marvel, smoothing fine lines and providing the perfect base for makeup application. The subtle scent is delightful, and the compact tube is travel-friendly. For a radiant complexion and a versatile addition to your beauty routine, this cream is a must-have!" —Pranav

Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me...anyone can." —Tina

Promising review: "This is my fifth color. This is the best thing to happen to makeup. I can do a smoky eye or a natural one in under a minute. I suck at makeup. This makes it so easy. I am also 51. The Coco color has some shimmer. It does not crease or define my wrinkles. Putty and Clay are amazing." —kristyn

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in 45 colors). 

Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before, but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth, and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market. However, this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all, and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria Bravo

Promising reviews: "I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel-dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue." —Marissa 

"My baby has curly hair, and since the texture is a lot different than mine, I have been trying out different products for her hair. I saw this one on TikTok and decided to give it a try. It is slowly becoming one of my go-to products for her! It does not leave the hair crunchy at all, and it moisturizes her curls nicely. Also smells good!" —Heather

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

Psst — this is also *perfect* for taking on long trips!

Promising review: "Perfect for travel or quick touch-ups. I was looking for something non-liquid to take when I travel, and this is PERFECT! It's very small and slim and works great. Easily removes makeup and works well on my sensitive skin." —sandy

Promising review: "Great, easy to use product. Goes on quickly, looks natural, but fills everything out. Good for a natural makeup day or something more dramatic, depending on how much you layer." —May-Rose R.

Get it from Glossier or Sephora for $22 (available in seven shades).

Promising review: "I love a clear lip liner because after your lipstick wears off, you don't have a red or pink ring around your mouth. With clear, you can outline the outer edge of your lips, and this ensures you cover your lips fully with lipstick and also helps make them look fuller as well as no bleeding into your fine lines." —Marianne

Promising review: "They are amazing! I buffed out my nails, cleaned up the cuticle, cleaned them with an alcohol pad, and then applied the nails. I used them with the beginner’s solid glue by the brand and cured it, and then applied a top coat and cured it. They literally look so good in person!! I just ordered the XS almond ones and will try those next. They feel very sturdy!" —Andrea Romero

Get a 300-piece set from Amazon for $26.99 (available in six sizes/styles).

Promising review: "Perfect for beginners. I’m new to the whole nail scene, but I figured I’d make an investment of $100 on gel nail polish, LED light, etc. I tried using this polish on my natural nails after prepping them, and I’m pretty happy... The colors are beautiful!! I was a little surprised by the smaller size, but for $20, you can’t beat it!!! It is such a good variety and has a beautiful, deep pigment. I 10/10 would recommend. 👏🏼" –MiKayla Cary

Check out a TikTok of the taming wand in action.

Promising review: "This is the best scent I’ve ever smelled. Not only that, but the product itself is also amazing. It does a great job at taming my baby hair and reducing frizz. If you’re looking to buy something, get it in this scent because it’s amazing." —ziasherwa

Get it from Sephora for $20 (available in three scents).

Y'alllll...when I tell you this powder does absolutely everything a setting powder should do, I'm not exaggerating. I was, indeed, influenced by TikTok to buy this (and it was actually somewhat of a ~gateway product~ for me — I started giving trending TikTok products much more credit after this). I've tested this out in all kinds of events and in varying climates. I'm talking clubs, formal events, brunches, and anything from hot, humid days to cold, dry weather. This checked all the boxes every time. It kept my skin blurred all day, it didn't feel dry, it didn't get cakey, and it made my under-eye area look soft and *bright*. 10/10, no notes!

Promising review: "My skin is on the oilier side, and this product saved my life, especially on camera. It is flawless, reduces shine, and doesn't make you look splotchy. It goes on flawlessly on top of my other products and feels so light. 100000/10. I've used so many powders, and this product makes your skin look airbrushed in real life." —Marissa Pizzuto

I am not kidding when I say I am ✨mascara obsessed✨ — it's my favorite part of my makeup routine! This means that, on top of wanting all the length and volume possible, I am quite *strict* about having my lashies perfectly separated and NOT clumpy. I can't even tell you the amount of brands I've tried, only to not be 100% satisfied in the end. Enter: this magical mascara. It checks all the boxes. The wand is long and thin, making it super easy to get more of your lashes in one swipe while still keeping them nice and separated from each other. I've received countless compliments and many people have asked me if my lashes are real — oh, that's how you know your mascara is a keeper. No other mascara has gotten my lash length so close to my brows. It's a forever staple in my makeup routine!

Promising review: "I recently tried this new lash mascara, and it has quickly become my favorite! The formula is lightweight yet incredibly volumizing, giving my lashes a dramatic lift without clumping. The wand design allows for precise application, easily reaching every lash, even the tiny ones. I love that it lasts all day without smudging or flaking, which is a must for me. Plus, it’s easy to remove at the end of the day. Overall, this mascara has delivered the perfect combination of length and volume, making my eyes pop. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting gorgeous lashes!" —sailor moon

Promising reviews: "I have used A LOT of different purple shampoos and I can honestly say this one is the most effective one I’ve come across. Usually I will buy a purple shampoo and when I run out I won’t repurchase it, I’ll just try a new one. But I’ve repurchased this brand multiple times. It keeps my hair looking cool and ashy between hair appointments." —cheyenne

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes).

Honestly, I don't think TirTir is ever getting rid of me. I have a particularly oily T-zone, and I've noticed that this setting spray truly does help control excess sebum and keeps my forehead from looking like a glazed donut. It also leaves a natural, satin finish with a soft sheen to it, which I LOVE. As someone who is way too lazy for touch-ups when I'm out and about, I appreciate that my glam stays locked👏 in👏 with this. 

Promising reviews: "I swear to you, this stuff is magical. My makeup never budges when I use this, and I don’t have to use that much. You can take it off with micellar water pretty easily, but I’m telling you I have ugly cried with this over my makeup, and my makeup stayed. the. same. It’s the best. It also has the nicest bottle; it sprays really evenly over your face, and if it has any flaw, it’s probably that it makes your makeup a little too dewy, but I usually use a little powder over the parts of my face I don’t want to be highlighted, and it works like a gem. Also definitely blurs my makeup very well. 10/10 would recommend!!!!" —Jennifier Moore

"I've fallen in love with this setting spray. It leaves the skin looking fresh, not shiny. It locks in makeup. The nozzle provides a very fine mist. I think it's replaced my Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray." —Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $15 (also available in a semi-matte version and in two-packs).

Promising review: "I’d yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous, lightweight finish with a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There’s no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It’s super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby-soft, not sticky at all. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines or wrinkles, and I don’t need powder to 'bake' it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes." —Julie F. 

Get it from Amazon for $10.97 (also available in other styles). 

Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok. I’m a middle-aged woman, so it’s difficult for me to admit that. I. LOVE. IT! It gives a flawless finish with little product. I have a compact foundation that comes with its own applicator sponge. I almost threw up because I didn’t like the coverage. I tried this brush with it, and it’s perfect! It also comes in a plastic case, which is great because I travel a lot with my work, and my other brushes get damaged sometimes." —Thayel M. Caison

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years, and I couldn’t be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blowouts! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes (on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair, making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. Only caveat I have come across so far: the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" —ERJ

Get it from Amazon for $42.48+ (available in six styles).

Promising review: "Big splurge and worth it! I spent three weeks reviewing this against the Dyson. I chose this based on the tools I already have and use. Thrilled to say that this replaces them all!!! Really! Wow! I have hair down to my butt, and this blows it out in 15 minutes, and with styling, 25 minutes! Huge timesaver! My hair is thick, and I’m still working with product to help hold curl since my hair isn’t layered. It always pulls out to a soft wave, but OMG the volume! I used to use the Revlon One-Step, and this is better! Also, I have straight across my forehead bangs, and the curling wands replace the flat iron. Seriously this replaces all the other tools!" —Victoria

Get it from Amazon for $218.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I’ve gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes, I use it under foundation, and sometimes, I use it solo with a bit of concealer. I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" —mapagill

"If you like Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter, this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better; [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a warmer/yellow undertone, which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it; you will be happy you did!" —Amazonreview

Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in 14 shades).

Life Hack: A dry spoolie is also great for removing mascara that's transferred to your lid during application. I do this all the time! 

Promising review: "I don't really know how to shape and draw my eyebrows until I use this brow brush! The width of the bristle just fits my eyebrow's original shape. It's also easy to apply with brow powder for a natural effect. Love it!" —YoyoZ

Promising review: "I love these rollers. My hair is very thin and the hot rollers and dryer that I have been using further destroyed my hair. These rollers are easy to use. I put a little water on each section, roll, and usually wait two hours. My curls are great and stay all day." —The Sutherlands

Promising review: "I've been a certified makeup artist for 12 years. Used for my cousin's wedding makeup, and they worked really well as far as catching fallout and shaping goes, but taking them off, they really stick, so just be gentle. Still great." —Andrea

Get a box of 120 pieces from Amazon for $6.99.

Promising review: "This moon slice is perfect and everything I’ve ever wished for. I wanted an eyeshadow shield that a) wasn’t sticky, and b) was reusable. This particular gadget gets bonus points for being made of silicone, which is stiff yet flexible and fits comfortably — and pleasantly — under the eye. I also feel the grippy nature of the silicone helps catch eyeshadow fallout better than, say, a business card. All in all, this is an amazing little tool." —Kat 

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in two colors).

The razor has two edges, a fine-toothed one for thin hair textures and a wider one for thicker hair textures. (FWIW, people also use this on their pets as a quick grooming solution!)

Promising review: "I recently got a pixie haircut. I was hesitant to get one based on the fact that I'd have to get frequent haircuts, the cost of which would add up quickly. I did some research on YouTube and found some videos using the tinkle hair cutter to trim hair in between salon visits. I LOVE this thing! It is easy to give a little trim or a drastic cut, both of which I have done since getting the tinkle cutter. I was very nervous to try it, fearing that I might mess up my hair so I just did a little bit first, but it was easy and only takes off small amounts of hair at a time, remember, I have a pixie cut — if you have long hair it will cut that off! Basically, all you have to do is comb your hair in the direction it grows until you're satisfied with the cut. Seven months post-pixie haircut, and I have only been to the salon once to have a re-shaping done of my hair. I will say that when the cutter feels like it's 'pulling' your hair, it's time to get new razors. I still prefer my pixie cut to be pretty short, and assuming I would have to go to the salon once a month for upkeep, I have saved $210 since having my hair cut. TOTALLY WORTH IT!" —brandi in louisiana

Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. 

Here's 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 30s, which mentioned that it performed like Dior's Airflash, 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: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." —Smickens

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in 12 shades). 

It comes with a precision cover to help you shape your brows to the exact shape you want. Or leave them just how they are. Remember, removing facial hair (or any hair) is optional, not necessary!

Promising review: "Plucking the more egregious of my thick black hairs is at least a two-to-three-times-a-week effort. I opened these rather hesitantly — I mean, they are sharp blades going on your face — took a sip of Prosecco for courage, washed my face, and started shaving. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple of swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. First complete face shave (full cheeks, upper lip, lower lip, jawline) over and done with in less than three minutes with outstanding results. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." —Tara D.

Promising review: "I have extremely hooded Asian eyelids and shaky hands, so eyeliner has kind of always been insurmountable to me, and I had pretty much given up on it before trying this. I bought it with hopes it would work, but it's now an actual game changer in my makeup routine. Upon first attempt, I was able to do winged eyeliner for each eye in under five min., and the eyeliner has not budged since application. I haven't worn it out yet, but it feels like a pretty strong hold. Overall, I'm in love with this product." —Hailey
