Turn heads because of your look *and* decadent scent.

You can stop buying the harsh and drying disposable wipes now!

Promising review: "Another one of my holy grail skincare products! It’s creamy, and smells incredible! (Clean citrus smell). It feels amazing and melts the makeup and dirt off of your face with ease! It leaves my skin feeling clean and soft! I have tried many other cleansing balms, and this is by far the best!" —ShariBabeeee

Promising reviews: "The L’Occitane Body Oil is easily one of the best I’ve ever used. Out of all the oils and baby oils I’ve tried, this one is completely top-tier and worth every dollar. The scent, the feel, and the glow it gives your skin are unmatched. I love mixing it in with my lotions — it creates the most beautiful, long-lasting fragrance without ever being overpowering or too much for others." —AnitaY

"After using this product for the last few months, my skin has been hydrated and moisturized to perfection, and don’t forget the aroma. The aroma is intoxicating and pairs well with any perfume you may want to add. The great part is that a little goes a long way, so it lasts." —SkincareNikki

BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly has this and says: I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me not to recommend, or been fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow-drying. Normally, I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow-drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! 

"Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow-dried hair, just after this post-shower, using this Amika blow-dryer brush. This brush is fantastic on its own, but the spray-on treatment has more or less doubled its effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and staying good-looking for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need on my friends.

Promising review: "Buy it, buy it, buy it. I don't have enough good things to say about this product. It smells amazing, and the smell lasts for days, which is great because I have curly hair that can only be washed once or twice a week, or else I experience damage. This product keeps it moisturized between washes, and I have found that it's a great curl refresher as well. Whatever you want this product for, I assure you, you're going to find that it delivers on that use. Plus, it offers you additional utility and enjoyment that you probably weren't anticipating." —Jamie

Promising reviews: "I saw a TikTok for this product and bought it. It is so good. I am South Asian and have coarse black hair, and I am going through perimenopause. Nothing is working on my hair. But this hair oil, combined with the Shiseido hair mask, is so good and makes my hair manageable. I am a master cosmetologist, so I know a thing or two about hair. But trust me, nothing helps when you are transitioning into menopause. Buy it. I highly recommend it. Better that Olaplex No. 7 oil, Chi, or other hair smoothing products." —U. Shaikh

"Smells heavenly. It does make my hair soft and helps with frizz, but it’s really the scent that sold me. It smells so good that I’m going to keep it for that alone. I wish they sold a perfume of this scent, and that’s coming from someone who does not like or own perfume." —Marie H.

Take a look at this TikTok user's glowy skin after spritzing it on their face!

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this product! It’s become a staple in my skincare routine. From the very first use, I noticed a difference — my skin felt smoother, more hydrated, and had a healthy glow. It absorbs beautifully, doesn’t feel greasy, and layers well with other products.

"I’ve tried so many skincare items over the years, but this one truly stands out. It delivers on its promises and feels like a little luxury every time I use it. Highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their routine!" —Amazon Customer

"Perfect complement to any skincare routine. Great for make-up free days! And of course, like anything Tatcha, smells amazing!" —Julia

The EOS Vanilla Cashmere scent contains fragrance notes of whipped vanilla, soft musk, and cozy caramel!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Amber Usher is a huge fan: "The Eos Vanilla Cashmere lotion is one of those beauty products that I always buy two at a time because I can not live without it. I'm a gourmand girl, and this literally smells like a warm cupcake. The texture is really creamy, it absorbs into my skin easily, and I don't have to worry about grease marks transferring to my clothes." 

Promising reviews: "Almost identical to Philosophy's Warm Cashmere! Love it and layers well with your perfume." —Ayomidele

"This lotion smells so good! I have always loved vanilla, and this is my new everyday lotion. It keeps me moisturized and smells amazing!" —Amy

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in seven other scents).

Promising reviews: "It is so cute, trendy, and aesthetic. It smells so great. I first saw it in TikTok, and I was like, I have to buy it and try it out." —thecrossinglife

"This product is not only so soft but smells absolutely wonderful. It smells just like cookies and cream. It’s a nice treat-yourself product. It’s nice and cool. When I washed it off my face, my skin felt so nice. It comes with a spatula, too. I love it!" —Angela

Get a set of three from Amazon for $20. 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I got turned onto this stuff after some colleagues put it in stories, and after trying just about every hair oil out there, I can assure you that this is the good stuff. It's great for finishing off your look after heat styling (like with a curling iron or straightener) or helping your hair calm down post-blow-drying. I always keep a bottle in my medicine cabinet!" 

Promising reviews: "My hair has been really dry and frizzy from bleaching, but this oil completely changed it. It’s super lightweight, non-greasy, and leaves my hair soft, shiny, and smooth from the first use. I love the subtle scent and how fast it absorbs. I use it every day on my ends, and it honestly makes a huge difference. Highly recommend! 💫" —Yailin Rodriguez

"It is expensive, but you'll use very little. I bought mine over a year ago, and it's still half full. I'm not using it every day, probably one to two times a week, but still. This is the most beautiful-smelling product I have ever bought. It works. I have very fine, thin, short hair, and it just keeps the frizz down without being heavy or greasy." —A Moose from Canada wrote this

Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs).

Promising review: "Not only do I love the color this gave my cheeks, but the smell is phenomenal. I thought the strawberries were just for the look, but it actually has that sweet scent as well. I’ll continue to buy this one for sure." —Brittany Chamberlain

Get it from Amazon for $10.98 (available in two other shades).

BTW, many reviewers say they use this as part of their double-cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores.

Promising reviews: "This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser, and I’m so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin; however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom, and my scarring doesn’t look as deep! The cleanser has a light, clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera." —Myshel Jensen

"Smells so good. This stuff smells like a spa! I use a couple of pumps in the shower every other day, and it leaves my skin feeling silky and smooth. This also helps when I feel a breakout coming, it seems to calm it down a bit and helps prevent bumps from coming up raging! Will continue ordering this." —Courtney McLemore

Promising review: "This primer is a game changer for sure. It glides so smoothly and smells amazing. Definitely in my rotation as my favorite primer. It helps keep oil at bay and is great for minimizing [the appearance of] pores." —Megan

Briogeo is a Black woman–founded business that specializes in cruelty-free, gluten-free haircare products for all hair types.

Promising review: "I purchased this after I used a trial-sized one in a monthly subscription bag. It is the only product that has actually made my hair feel soft in more than 20 years. My hair is long, thin to medium in amount, frizzy, incredibly dry (I use conditioner from the scalp to the ends), and has lots of split ends. This product is pretty pricey, but worth every penny. It also has a great light scent. I will purchase again and really hope they never stop making/selling this product!" —Andrea Dreamer

"The only leave-in conditioner I’ve ever used continuously. I have oily hair, and typically leave-in conditioners make that worse, but this one doesn’t. It makes my hair feel healthier, and it smells great!" —Andrea Koenig

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

Promising reviews: "These pads are incredibly saturated with product. I don’t even use a whole pad at once. There is so much product; I use one side, then hang it over the tongs that come in the package to use the other side at night. It smells great, and all of the reviewers' high scores totally reflect how great this product is." —nicfromca

"A must-have! I love the way my skin glows instantly. These pads are cooling, calming, and give my skin this beautiful glow. If you want an instant glow like you were born with it, get it." —Jadior24u88

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I love, love, love this lip balm. I compare it to the $24 version from Summer Fridays, which I've been splurging on — I love that brand because it lasts so long and is so high quality, but this $4 E.l.f. version feels comparable and, more excitingly, comes in smaller versions so I can stock my totes and bathroom with them, whether I'm at home or on the go. It's hydrating, lightweight, doesn't get sticky, and adds a perfect ~subtle~ gloss whether I'm using it alone or on top of a lip color. I love the vanilla flavor so much, it's got a similar vibe to the birthday cake flavor that Glossier sometimes carries."

Promising review: "I absolutely love these lip balms! I use them daily because they smell amazing and work so well. They hydrate my lips and make them shiny!" —nataleigh thompson

Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in six colors/flavors and two-packs). 

I recently received this lip balm, and I refuse to be without it. I'm not even exaggerating. Whenever I realize I've left my apartment without it, I go back and get it — it's that good. My favorite thing about this lip balm is the metal applicator. I've never seen anything like it! It's cool to the touch and goes on so smoothly without leaving any residue. As a lip product connoisseur, this is by far my favorite because not only does it leave my lips hydrated as heck, but it also adds a tint of color, so I don't need to go over it with lipstick or a colored gloss! 

Promising reviews: "I actually went out and bought another one of these within a week of me first trying it out lol. My coworker recommended it to me after I had told her how I was having trouble finding a lip product that would keep my lips hydrated throughout the day and not just for a few hours. My lips would peel a lot and get dry and crack regardless of the weather in Houston, but since I've started using this, I have not had these issues...I can be honest and say I was skeptical because I've used many products before that didn't do much, but this is one worth the money and one I feel confident in recommending to others." —Tyesha

"I love how it feels and looks! Plus, it smells delicious!! —Lindsay N.

Promising reviews: "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

"Size is amazing for price, and lasts forever. It works on all hair types and smells seriously SO good." —Madison

Reviewers of all skin tones love this sunscreen! 

Promising reviews: "We buy mineral powder sunscreen to use on my kids’ ears and mine and my daughter’s parts. We are all very fair, and without a hat, our scalp burns where our part shows. My kids refuse to wear hats a lot, and especially when they’re playing in water, so this is a must-have. This works well for that without leaving the oily residue that comes from using typical sunscreen. Might even be a helpful dry shampoo since it is a powder and can soak up some of the oil in your hair! Highly recommend!" —Caitlin

"I have brown skin and am always looking for sunscreen that doesn’t leave a white film. This actually sets my makeup and can be used on my neck and décolletage without adding color. This is affordable, and it smells like going to the beach!" —Johanna

Shine in a silicone-free product?! Dreams really do come true.

Promising reviews: "OMG!!! Most amazing hair treatment I’ve ever used in my entire life. Most hair masks weigh my hair down, but since this is water, it makes it SO soft and bouncy. I’m obsessed and will keep buying. Holy grail." —fariba

"Reduced my frizzy hair 99%. And that’s a miracle. It’s a temporary Brazilian blowout for me! Smells great and is easy to use. I needed no hair conditioner nor my usual blow-dry products. Highly recommend." —Catherine

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

Promising reviews: "Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it were bigger; it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

"Goes on smoothly, hydrates lips, and doesn't feel sticky. Even when I thought it must have worn off after a long day, my lips still had a hint of color left. As a bonus, the tiny little bottle seems to last forever!" —Erin M.

Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 18 shades and also in multipacks)

Promising reviews: "Liquid gold!!!!! I use a tiny bit on my end, twice a day (dry hair), and it’s totally restored my hair's softness, shine, and manageability in less than a month. I love the packaging too. I have fewer tangles, and my hair is stronger, plus the ends are shiny, which has never happened in my life. I don’t have damaged hair, so I don’t know about the damage repair, but I did have really dry, brittle, frizzy hair, and this has totally fixed all that. Let me say, WORTH IIIIIIT." —Christine

"Got this off a recommendation from a friend and now I’m obsessed! This is a really lightweight oil and has greatly decreased my frizzy hair for days! Bottle is tiny and great for travel, it smells and looks high-end, but most importantly, it hydrates my thirsty hair!" —Gabrielle

BTW, it's vegan, paraben free, and sulfate free. Use this *before* shampoo and conditioner.

Promising review: "I have tried everything with my hair, and nothing seems to help the breakage, until I tried this product. It gives my hair a new level of smoothness, and my hair actually feels stronger if that’s possible. It is worth the price in my opinion, and it smells great!" —Sarah Bennett

Get it from Amazon for $34+ (available in two sizes and in an old formula).

Promising reviews: "A daily must to my skincare routine! The Glow Recipe leaves my skin glowing, soft, and smooth. I have very dry and sensitive skin, and this does wonders! I don’t have a problem with acne, red skin, or anything! 10/10 recommend!" —Hailey Harbison

"This is the second time I have purchased this product, and I love it. I have issues with cystic acne that stays under the skin and is painful, and this product has reduced it by almost 100%. If I do get a pimple, it will be a blackhead that I can pop without scarring my face. Also, it smells really nice." —jennifer

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising reviews: "I was skeptical of this brand because it looks too pretty to have good ingredients lol, but I actually love this cleanser!! I’m very picky about what I put on my face, but I think this one has good ingredients. It’s good for my sensitive skin. It smells yummy, and it really does bounce like the name! The cleanser is very jelly-like, and so the name makes sense. Overall, I love the way this makes my skin feel!" —Kait Hoffeld

"I have naturally oily skin and use this twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. It works really well at keeping acne breakouts or pore issues at bay. Will continue using this product." —Brittany O'Banion

Promising review: "Y'all. This stuff smells like heaven. Somehow, this scent is appropriate for both summer and winter. It absorbs quickly with no sticky feelings afterward. The one thing that might deter some people from buying it is that there is a shimmer to it. Once I've used it on my hands, I notice that in sunlight, my skin has a subtle glimmer. I personally love this and can't wait to use this lotion during the summer. I think it's 100% worth the high price tag. When I can summon up the will to spend the money, I'll be buying the body wash, spray, and full-sized lotion as well; currently, the mini lotion stays in my purse." —Elizabeth

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes, a refill pack, and multipacks).

Promising reviews: "Smells amazing! It's very similar to Santal 33, but better in my opinion." —lolitabeauty

Get it from Sephora or from Amazon (available in one size and also in three other scents) for $20+.

Promising review: "This looks, smells, and feels divine. After my first day wearing it, I re-ordered another bottle because it's so good. The scent is subtle but luscious, and the shimmer is a lovely glow, without glitter, and just a touch of starlight. I LOVE having a vanilla scent that doesn't include coconut. I've ordered multiples of every offering." —Erika

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in five scents/shades).

Promising review: "I’m in love with this product! It smells so good, isn't sticky, protects from the sun, and gives you a beautiful glow.

Promising reviews: "I have been dealing with dry, cracked, flaky lips for quite a few years now. I have tried so many different lip treatments, hoping for some relief. This has been THE GAME CHANGER! It is the best lip treatment, hands down. I noticed an improvement right away, but after a month or so of using this, my lips have been completely healed. It's amazing. I so wish I had found this sooner." —ladyweldon

It can also help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer they're less noticeable. 

Promising review: "I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh my goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles are still there, but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend it to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." —HeartsUnfold

I like that the color isn't orangey and looks natural. The application is smooth, and it doesn’t look streaky like some bronzers have for me. It’s a little pricey, but it lasts a while for me, and I think it’s worth it." —Loloshappylife

I have tried every leave-in product, and none has compared to this one. It softens, hydrates, smooths, and leaves my hair looking like I just walked out of a salon!
