If you look to your left, you’ll see a reviewer-beloved tightening cream. And oh, to your right, it’s the rare comfy travel pant.

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

Promising reviews: "I get so many compliments on this shade! ILNP is easily on par with luxury brands at double the price and ILNP has any color imaginable!! I used a bonding base coat, two coats of this color, and a shiny topcoat. If I were easier with my hands, I would definitely get 10+ days without a chip! Also, the brush is one of the best I have used and the formula is quite forgiving if you need to pull the brush a couple of times over when too much paint has been applied. Dries quickly for a non-quick drying formula, even with the base, two coats, and the topcoat! I love ILNP's sparkle formulas and this is my first creme from them and I'm a fan for life!!" —LD

"As a chronic fidgeter, I typically can get up to three days out of painting my fingernails before I scratch or crack some off. I didn’t even use a base coat and on day three I’m still not ready for a touch up. I rarely leave reviews, but I’ve never had a “favorite nail polish brand” until now." —Emily D

Price: $10+ (available in 310 other shades and packs of two and four)

This has a 1,200-watt motor, three blending programs (smoothie, ice crush, and blend), and auto iQ presets that'll blend for you. And btw, you can drink from the integrated spout, or there's a straw included if you prefer. 

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this blender. I use it to make smoothies and they come out AWESOME. I had a smaller portable Ninja blender that was ok, but it would get jammed a lot with frozen products, so I decided to upgrade to this one, and I am so glad I did. This blender is a beast. It blends everything up perfectly. Frozen fruit is no problem at all. I love how it has suction cups on the bottom so that it grips the counter. It’s pretty loud, but since this blender works so well, I can handle the noise. I highly recommend this." —Unicornyankee

Price: $129 (available in four colors and as just the tumbler with a straw)

Caffeine can temporarily smooth and brighten skin, if that's something you're looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Believe the hype! Yes, it does work! I have been using this for two months. I use it on my neck and face twice a day. One jar has lasted me two months; I am almost due to buy another. A little bit goes a long way. VERY moisturizing! I just lost a lot of weight and was insecure about my neck. This product made a HUGE difference in just two months. Thanks to TikTok for introducing me to this line. I will never be without it!!! I would love a massive bottle to use all over my body. LOL!!" —Amanda G.

Price: $39.99 (also available in a two-pack)

Reviewers mention the lining goes about 3/4ths of the way down. 

Promising review: "I NEVER write Amazon reviews or reviews in general... But this skirt is 100% totally worth it! Very comfortable, true to size, and absolutely beautiful!! An added bonus was the 'glitter/sparkly' touch that there is in gold to the skirt! It's the perfect amount of thickness to wear anytime, but also thin enough to be comfortable on hot days!" —Michala Hansmeier

Price: $35.99+ (available in a women's size S–3XL and 50 colors/patterns)

Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura

"Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I was in shock. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Price: $15.77+ (available in three sizes)

This includes the scrubber tool and two refills. 

Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne

Price: $12.94 (also available in other pack amounts)

Promising review: "Sparkling and beautiful. I bought these to hang in my kitchen window, and they are perfect. The sun hits the crystals, and it creates a beautiful shine and radiance. I've received lots of compliments. Nice buy!" —Alicia Burciaga

Price: $13.76+ (available in six colors/styles)

You'll also want to grab a microSD card and a card reader to store and transfer the photos.

Promising review: "Ok so I never write reviews, but I just have to gush about how much I love this little camera!! It’s so cute and fun — when I pull it out everyone loves it and is happy to be in a picture and see how it works! Although you can see a tinyyyy image on the digital display, there is something so nostalgic and fun about having to wait until you upload the pics. It’s like that delayed hit of dopamine! Love the vintage vibe of the pictures as well (I know that literally just equates to poor quality; however, phones' cameras are so good these days that even a filter can’t mimic that low-quality 90s/early 2000s vibe!!!) Anyway — if you’re thinking about it — DO IT!!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!! (As long as you know it’s just a fun little memory maker, not a professional camera for high-quality images.) 🥰 —Kimberly Cox

Price: $34.99 (also available as a six-pack)

Promising review: "I debated buying these for sooo long because I was worried all the TikTok reviews were over-exaggerated or fake. I’ve fallen for that before. But after months of trying different products, hoping they’d get rid of my stubborn bumps/clogged pores to no avail, I figured I didn’t have much to lose. No joke, I started seeing results after a couple of uses. Every time I use them, I wake up with the softest, glowiest, 'glass' skin I’ve been dying to achieve. I was skeptical at first use because they felt so gentle, but I was also relieved there wasn’t any stinging sensation on my very sensitive skin. I couldn’t be happier with the results. For reference, I have sensitive, combo skin and my main concerns were textured forehead, closed comedones/clogged pores." —Marissa S

Price: $18.90 for a pack of 70 (available in seven other formulas)

These can be set to a constant or flashing mode and withstand light to moderate rain. And since they're made of wire, they can be bent into any shape you'd like! 

Promising review: "I love, love, love these yard decorations. I have them in both the front and backyard EVERYWHERE!!! These decorations are fun and colorful — they blink or not, depending on how you set them. Super affordable for their long-term wear and tear. I leave them out year-round — we are in Northern CA, and winters can get chilly, and sometimes in the low '30s, and they continue to work. Make great outdoor Christmas decorations vs the normal lights." —kathleen Becker

Price: $25.59+ for a pack of four (available in four colors, a wired style, and packs of two, six, and eight)

Promising review: "I'm not one to write reviews; however, this small cooler/lunch box deserves one. This small cooler is totally worth paying the extra money. I filled it up with sushi rolls for a concert, and it stayed very cold for over 10 hours. The cold packs I placed inside were still frozen after all that time! It is also roomy, a nice soft material, and very stylish, and the shoulder strap option makes it more functional. I love it!" —Leticia Hampton

Price: $75+ (available in 11 colors and three sizes)

Promising review: "Very durable metal! Solid yet easy to carry. Folds back into the carry bag so quickly and easily! Great for busy moms or solo beach days! It fit this reclining beach chair perfectly with plenty of adjustable space. It held in place all day on the windy beach. Even the ties for the back stayed in place with the wind! Protected me from the sun but allowed for plenty of visibility and adjustment was easy as I reclined or as the sun moved. Very wind resistant! Love the black to block the sun to read or check my phone." —Faith1212

Price: $34.99+ (available in two sizes, six colors, and two-packs)

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

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I bought this on a whim on Prime Day. This stuff is *amazing*. Worth every penny. I often wake up and shower before my kids are up, throw on some moisturizer and sunscreen, do my hair, start errands or school drops off, then put on some makeup later in the morning. This makes me look alive and put together and like less of a tired mom! Better than any concealer I’ve ever used. Brightening without being cake-y, illuminating without being tacky and sparkly. Price makes it 10x better. Will be buying forever." —Kristen H. 

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: "As an avid Asian beauty user, I've used a lot of different Korean and Japanese sunscreens. I bought this on a whim for my trip to Italy, not expecting much. I've seen it advertised a lot on a bunch of TikTok videos and on BuzzFeed and figured it was overhyped. But oh my gosh, this thing is legit. Like freaking legit. It glides on really smoothly, the product's curve makes it really easy to apply, and it dries matte. It leaves no cast (on pale and tan skin) and also feels like nothing is there after a couple of minutes. It saved my boyfriend and I from the unmerciful Italian sun at peak summer. We ended up going through the entire stick by the end of our one-week trip just because of how often we were applying it. I honestly might switch from my HG sunscreen to this just because I love it so much! 100% recommend." —Hannah

Price: $16.36 (available in a Glowing style and a two-pack). 

Promising review: "This is a great way to keep your beverage cold while on the go. These are durable and last a long time. The print and quality of the pictures are amazing and detailed. I got size large, and it fits all travel-sized cups that you can get. There are so many patterns and color varieties for everyone in the household. The value for your money is worth it. I use mine all the time and have several different colors and prints. You can even get ones for each holiday if you like." —Jill J.

Price: $14.99+ (available in five sizes and dozens of styles)

Btw — it's also equipped with a built-in LED light. 

Promising review: "I bought two for my kids, and we had a trip to Universal Studios. The parks are pretty hot with little to no breeze. When I say these bad boys lasted for all eight hours without charge, believe me. They started charging by the time we were leaving, and we had portable chargers for them to run on to get us to the car. There are three speeds, and we used the highest and stayed cool. I bounced between holding them on the stroller and holding them in my hand. Be careful when putting them in bags, as they can turn on accidentally. And make sure you fully charge if you plan on using for a long span of time." —Mumsz

Price: $22.29+ (available in six colors)

Promising review: "I got this for my mom, and she absolutely loves it. She’s really gotten into Lego Botanicals recently, and this set didn’t disappoint — the build was calming and fun, and the finished cactus looks fantastic on display. The attention to detail and vibrant flowers make it feel like a real plant without the upkeep. It’s hands-down become one of her favorite sets, and now she’s planning her next Lego Botanicals purchase!" —jeremias luna

Promising review: "Could not be more pleased! After years of putting up with a congested mess of small boxes of nails and bags of screws, I finally took the step to try an organizer. So so pleased! Duuhhh. 🙄 This unit was a piece of cake to get operational and the ingenuity of the design (building the easily removable spacers right into the unit… eliminating their getting lost) was impressive. Don’t wait!" —D. Dale

Price: 42.36+ (available in three colors, two-packs, and styles with 16, 24, 26, 44, or 64 drawers)

Btw, you can get extra dividers (only a few are included with the drawers) on Amazon for $6.19. 

Check out a TikTok of the Anua cleansing oil in action. 

I've tried a couple of cleansing oils as an acne-prone, oily-skinned gal, and this is the one that earned its permanent place in my routine! Some have caused my skin to break out, and others have been too thick, but this one is the *perfect* consistency to actually get in my pores and draw out the gunk lurking in there. The first time I used it, I massaged it into my nose for a few minutes and got those bits on my fingers like the reviewer above (which is SO satisfying), and though it's not like that every time, it has truly helped with the size of my pores and leaves my skin feeling so soft, hydrated, and free of any makeup (ready to be followed up by a cleanser)! And when I've ever dared to doubt its power (when I ran out, or was lazy and skipped the step), I definitely saw the difference in my skin's texture — so it's here to stay for me! 

"I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. This is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! It also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" —Sarah Coleman

Promising review: "Obsessed with this! Not only is the pattern cute, but the bag is soft, high-quality material on the outside (not the cheap-feeling PU leather, the nice-feeling one), the zipper is smooth, and it came well-packaged so it wasn’t all bent out of shape. It fits a TON of makeup and keeps it all organized and easily accessible at the same time. I do my makeup on the go a lot, aka in the car, and this can fit everything I could possible need to do it! I also work from home and love being able to grab this and do my makeup while I read emails in the morning. Cannot be more in love and excited about this bag!!" —M.H. 

Price: $23.99+ (available in two sizes and 47 colors)

Promising review: "WOW what a Game Changer! I am on my feet walking anywhere from 12 to 16 hours a day. Recently I started experiencing sharp pains with every step, on the bottom of my heel, especially after sitting down and standing up again. I wore these insoles all day at work, pounding pavement without a thought of having heel pain. I'm absolutely shocked at how well these worked. The cushioned soles held up all day and even put a little pep in my step. I have high arches, and these provided excellent arch support and a squishy yet firm place to absorb the shock of my heels, COMPLETELY ELIMINATING my heel pain. It’s unbelievable. They are very well made and I can say these are absolutely worth every single penny." —Michele

Price: $35.98 (available in women's sizes 6–17.5, men's sizes 4–15.5, and three other styles)

Promising review: "LOVE this little speaker! I’ve had a JBL Charge 4 for years and wanted something smaller and more portable for the pool this summer. This is the perfect size, so easy to throw in a bag. Volume gets so loud for how small it is! And the sound quality is very good — no distortion like other cheap small speakers. I always want more bass in every speaker, but this bass is remarkably good for the size. Overall very impressed, especially for the price." —KARA

Price: $49.95 (available in nine colors)

Promising review: "They look so real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower) and is shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" —Abbey S.

Reviewers mention these aren't VPL-proof, so you may want to snag a few pairs of seamless hipster or thong undies. 

Promising review: "They are perfect! The pockets are absolutely divine because my entire iPhone fits down in there and isn’t really visible. I got Royal Blue (wishing for a true navy tho!) and Light Khaki, and am keeping them both. Also tried Coca Mocha, but it was slightly orange-ish, so I’m returning it. I find these look great and are SUPER comfortable. I can wear them to the office with heels or to a casual outing with friends with sandals and a T-shirt. The pockets have a very slightly visible stitching, which hints toward casual, but the darker colors hide it better. I travel to conferences in upscale convention centers a few times a year and these will be perfect to pair w blazers and heels, no wrinkles, and I can wear them on the plane too! 😍😍" —Janet R

Price: $36.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL, five inseams, and 29 colors/patterns)

Promising review: "I flipping love this kitchen gadget! I was always buying soap stands at Target and Marshalls, and they would always sit weird, get really, really dirty or slimy, or they wouldn’t hold things properly. But then I found this, and I hate to sound like an infomercial, but it’s really great. I like this so much and when it gets dirty, you just sand it down a little bit with the sanding circle they give you. Also, it takes up way less room and everything looks really neat." —HonestAmazon

Price: $16.88+ (available in seven sizes and four colors)

Check out a TikTok of the Biodance mask in action.

Promising review: "Oh…my god…. 🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? I put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had filler. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks <3" —Kichi

Price: $19 for a pack of four (also available in a pack of 16 and three other formulas)

These lights are charged via USB-C cables (included!) and can also be set to always-on for longer tasks. After motion is detected and the lights are activated, they'll automatically turn off after 20 seconds without motion. The lights are magnetic and can easily attach to magnetic surfaces OR you can use the included adhesive iron plates for installation in other areas.

Promising review: "These lights are very cool. They feel and look well-made. First, I charged them. Then cleaned under the cabinet with a good degreaser and then stuck them on. They attach with magnets. They come off easily for recharging. Also, I LOVE that you can set them to automatic on (when you get close), full on, or off. I chose the soft white, and they really are perfect. I will be buying more!" —Janis Tomasone

Price: $16.99+ for a set of two (available in two sizes and two light temperatures)

Promising reviews: "I'm impressed with the quality of these pens. The 0.5mm fine point delivers a super smooth writing experience, and the ink dries quickly, leaving clean, neat lines. The barrel is also very comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. The retro colors are a stylish bonus. Highly recommend!" —Marie70

Price: $7.19 for a set of five (available in 12 styles and different pack sizes)

Promising review: "Five stars for this rotating pen and pencil holder! 🖊️✨ It spins smoothly, keeps everything organized, and makes it so easy to grab exactly what I need without digging around in a drawer. It’s sturdy, looks great on my desk, and somehow makes my whole workspace feel a little more put together. Simple, practical, and surprisingly satisfying! 😊" —Charlotte L

Check out a TikTok of a dermatologist explaining the different ways this can be used! 

Promising review: "My sisters were constantly raving about this toner, so I decided to try it. Since using it, I’ve realized why they love it so much! My skin went from bumpy and textured to smooth and glowy. My clogged pores have completely disappeared. I’ve already recommended this product to a bunch of my friends, and they love it too! I’ve been using this product for about two months, and it’s still doing wonders. Definitely worth buying!" —Noa May

Price: $9 (available in two sizes and as a pack of two)

Promising review: "I am not a skilled girlie with makeup, but especially in spring/summer, it is so hard for me between humidity and wearing SPF. Y’all. This is SO easy even I can do it! Pretty much just one swipe below each cheekbone and a bunch of little taps with a brush to blend it out. I got the Cherry Cola color and it is SO pretty! It’s not sticky, it’s sheer, and for me it was lasting color. It makes my cheeks feel hydrated and I don’t feel like I’m wearing makeup. It has a very natural finish too, so soft and dewy. It’s also really pretty when used as lip stain and it really lasts! By itself or under a balm, it is gorgeous. Even if you aren’t a makeup expert, you can make this work, highly recommend!" —KFeliz

Promising review: "This has got to be the coolest 'toy.' The kids love it and I love it! I didn’t expect it to be as cool as the description, but it’s even better! In fact, the reason I quoted 'toy' is that I will also use it for my porch cookie sales. It adds the perfect touch and is eye-catching. Pleasantly surprised. Very affordable and surpassed expectations." —Carrie

Price: $29.99+ (available in three colors)

Some reviewers even decorated their birdhouses with little frills like moss, flowers, and twine!

Note: If you find that your pets are scaring the birds away, one reviewer recommends applying reflective adhesive so the birds can't see in but your furry friend can look out.  

Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels who sneak into it. 😅 It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window. Now the birds have no idea they’re even there, and the cats are in disbelief they get to sit that close to the birds. Overall, a great purchase, my family loves it!" —SRowe
