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: "The texture is thick! But it’s a good thick. These feel so smooth on the lips and are very glossy. Currently my favorite E.l.f. lip product, over the Glow Reviver Oil. Smell is not overwhelming and neither is taste. I came back to order them all." —Khloe3

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three flavors). 

Promising review: "The scent smells AMAZING and fills up the whole bathroom while I shower. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and moisturized afterward instead of dry or tight like some body washes do. This body wash is a thick, creamy gel and lathers easily, and the scent actually lasts on my skin for a long time after showering, which I love. I also have pretty sensitive skin and usually react to heavily scented products, but this one hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me personally. Overall, I think it's a great product if you want something moisturizing with a strong, cozy scent that actually lasts." —paige elissa

Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in seven other scents). 

Promising review: "Best shirt for everyday casual, pair with a blazer, or use for a workout. I love the soft feel and being form-fitting without feeling restricting. It also doesn’t wrinkle easily, which makes it great for travel!" —Mermaid Mamma

Get it from Amazon for $8.41+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and dozens of colors). 

Promising review: "This is such a great idea to have for hair during the summer or even living in a warmer climate. I put it in mine and my three girls' hair today before the pool, and hair felt great after washing. Highly recommend." —Alyssa Speaker

Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount 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 un-touched. 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: "Omg! It’s better than I thought. I am a black woman that 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

Promising review: "So comfy and they look just like the photo! The quality is great, they aren't see-through, and I love the bright color! They fit true to size. They are definitely a great value for the money." —Hope

Get them from Amazon for $8.11+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 20 styles). 

Promising review: "This is a great product and gift for a beach lover. Works great and is a decent size for brushing away the sand after an amazing day at the beach! Going to buy it as a gift!! Easy to use and affordable!" —Sue Krauser 

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

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes).

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: "Absolutely love this beach bag! It’s lightweight, stylish, and surprisingly spacious. The mesh design is perfect for the beach because sand falls right through instead of getting trapped inside. I was able to fit towels, sunscreen, water bottles, and even a change of clothes with no problem. The inner pocket is super convenient for keeping my phone and keys safe. The material feels durable, and the color looks exactly like the pictures. Perfect for vacations, pool days, or even casual summer outings." —Raidel Gonzalez Cabrera

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six styles). 

Promising review: "This smells heavenly!! I wore it today with the Cheirosa 62, and it smells delicious! I already purchased a second bottle for me and one for my daughter because I know it's going viral, and I don't want to run out! It's already hard to find where I am. To me, this is even better than the Vanilla Cashmere, and that's been my absolute favorite so far." —Heather Mg 

Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! I am an RN, and I am on my feet for 13+ hours during my shifts. Over the past four years, my feet (and pinkie toes) have taken a beating. Cracked, peeling, dry, hard...I was embarrassed to wear flip-flops, not only for my fifth toe, but because my heels were flaky, peeling, and horrid. I had tried pedicure tools to no avail. THIS. This product healed my feet. I have only used one application so far, but my feet are like 90% better. I am wearing flip-flops! And my pinkie toes are almost healed! It's incredible! I am so very happy with my results, and I highly recommend this product." —Rachel L

Promising review: "I'm normally a St. Ives girly but decided to give this a try and OMG!! If heaven had a scent it would be this. It leaves my skin feeling cotton soft and smelling amazing. Loving it!" —Latoya

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!"

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in 14 colors).

Get it from With Love, Ketura on Etsy for $2.50. 

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." —Kelsey B.

Promising review: "Cute, retro, and good quality. Perfect for summertime cuts and scrapes. Comes with three sizes in the box, each in a different pattern." —R&M

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: "Great lip tint that's buildable. It dries soft to the touch with no transfer. Lasts hours! Can be drying on the lips, so I put a lip oil on top of this lip tint — the tint doesn't budge or smear away. I'm buying more of these!" —Abelle

Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in six shades). 

Just Because Special is an Etsy shop established in 2021 that specializes in personalizable gifts.

Get it from Just Because Special on Etsy for $6.93 (available in dozens of colors). 

Promising review: "Love these! Very comfortable to wear all day long. They don't keep your 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

This is shipped and packaged plastic-free! 

Promising review: "I have very, very itchy sensitive skin and I have been using this bar exclusively for two weeks, and I am sold and will continue to use this. I picked this bar (and a reusable bag so I can hang it from a hook in my shower) because it was the lowest cost, and I have not regretted it. The smell is lovely, the bar is very foamy, the bag helps create a mild exfoliant if you want, and my skin does not feel tight or dry after. Hanging it allows it to dry between uses, and it is not sitting in goo. Two weeks in, and it has retained the original texture seen in the picture that contributes to the foaminess. Great bargain." —Melissa

Psst — you can check out a ton of other gorgeous Lego Botanicals on Amazon for more lovely options! 

Promising review: "I just love these Lego Botanicals! I got these daisies to add to the sunflowers I already have. The directions are easy to follow and really fun to put together. It took me about an hour to finish the kit. We all know Legos are built to last, so I'm sure these flowers will too! The best part is they will never wilt or die, so you can enjoy them all year long. The colors are bright, cheery, and the flowers go well with the other Lego Botanicals that I own. I will be adding more very soon, and I highly recommend." —Luv2shop

I've sworn by these for years — I can't shape my nails to save my life, so I get a manicure once a month and then trade out these colors every week or so in between. The colors are so vibrant and fun, the quick dry is NO joke, and what I love most is these tend to last a solid five to seven days without chipping (and are easily fixed with a touch-up). I am a very busy bean and incapable of sitting still for more than a minute, so these have been a GODSEND. 

Promising review: "This is the best nail polish I've ever used. I have bought it several times and will continue to buy it in the future. I have had my nails done for years at the salon, as well as using the gel polish with the light dry in the past — and now the past year have only used Sally Hansen instant dry nail polishes and am more pleased that I ever was with either of the other options." —J.L. Senn

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about them: "I own several sets of these and even pack them when I travel because I never want to sleep on a cotton pillowcase again after getting used to these beauts." 

Promising review: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn’t frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." —Aaron Key

"These are really nice — perfect price point too. There's no difference between these and the same pillowcases from Kitsch at three times the price." —Keri

Promising review: "This is seriously the cutest coloring book ever! I love the spooky theme which really opens the door for creativity. The pages are single sided which is perfect for coloring with alcohol markers or paint!" —Sarahsmilecoloring

Promising review: "I am absolutely loving this serum! It creates the smoothest shave I've ever had, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. The serum glides on easily, providing a close shave without any irritation or nicks. My razor moves effortlessly, and I’m impressed by how nourished my skin feels afterward. The light, refreshing scent is an added bonus! It’s a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine and enjoy a comfortable, irritation-free experience. Highly recommend!" —Shay 

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three scents). 

Promising review: "I bought these shoes a couple of years ago before a river hike. UM THESE ARE AWESOME. These shoes feel like socks but with enough of a sole that you can walk on gravel with no problem. It really is like walking barefoot. Also, these are the only water shoes that I have worn that do NOT let a bunch of debris into the shoe, making you constantly have to take it off to empty it or just deal with the irritant. You can play on the beach with minimal sand stuck between your toes. Thoroughly impressed by that. So with that, I do recommend if you are a half size to size down so they are snug, otherwise the sock-like ability to keep stuff out might not work so well." —Samantha Lindsay

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in seven sizes and 44 colors).

Promising review: "Just the right size to fit on my nightstand for my jewelry! Very well made." —Kindle Customer

Magic Charm Makers is a California-based Etsy shop established in 2012 that specializes in personalized gifts. 

This is my MOST favorite gift for all the Disney adults in my life! It's so charming and vibrant and ships fairly quickly, and it's one of those "Oh, they DEFINITELY don't have this yet" types of gift ideas. It's also nice and lightweight for moving around different spaces in your home!

Reviewers note that these work best if you put them somewhere the flies are already attracted to — these will definitely trap them, but they won't attract them on their own. 

Promising review: "I had a HUGE fruit fly issue after I found a rotting lemon that had fallen behind a bread box. I paid $20+ for the liquid fly traps, but nothing worked. I ordered these sticky fly traps, and within two days, the sticky traps caught 50+ fruit flies, and I don’t have any more fruit flies. These were the least expensive options I tried and worked the best. I HIGHLY recommend!!!" —Lisa

Get a pack of 18 from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 12 styles and packs). 

Promising review: "So SO CUUUTE! 10/10!! Good product and keeps my straw from getting bugs or germs on it! Plus, it’s really cute." —JennA

Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99.  

 It requires four AA batteries to run (not included). 

Promising review: "This light is great!!! It has three settings to adjust the amount of brightness you need. The lowest level is great for just sitting around your patio table and having a couple of drinks with friends. The brightest setting is PERFECT for playing cards! We play cards a few times a month. There are two 70+-year-olds who did not complain that they couldn’t see. So, works great in my book! 😁" —Mandie Jordan

Promising review: "Delicious! Perfect to sprinkle on toast, yogurt, ice cream, or shakes! Definitely will purchase again! Kids loved it!" —Jennifer Reed 

Promising review: "These are amazing!!! Beautiful colors and the sparkle/shimmer is more than I imagined it would be. Mr Pen did it again! If you don’t have these pens, you need to get them!! Great addition to my journaling supplies!" —FBJH12
