Gather ’round, everybody, it’s time for show and tell.

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.

I'm also obsessed with the way you can reuse the artsy tin they come in! 

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 who 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

Reviewers mention this has worked on fine straight hair, thick wavy hair, and curls. 

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 who 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

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 

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

Promising review: "I bought it to keep on my desk at the office, and it’s honestly worked really well. It’s soft, slow-rising, and helps relieve stress during busy moments at work. The butter design is also eye-catching, and someone always ends up picking it up. Great product to keep your hands busy without being too distracting." —Jeivy

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

Promising review: "This bathing suit made me feel so good and secure! It has great support and flexibility to style it to fit your body. I'm a size 12 and ordered an extra large, which I think was a perfect fit, especially if you have a larger chest." —Emily Kightlinger 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and seven colors). 

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

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: "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

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

Promising review: "Best lip plumping glass ever!! Doesn't sting, tastes great. Gloss lasts a long time between applications. Best ever." —Lynn

Some reviewers recommend ordering one cup size up for correct coverage.

Promising review: "I wear a 38DDD, and finding a bra to keep them supported and dry has been a never-ending battle. I typed in 'minimizer bras,' and I took a chance on this one. I’m so, so thankful I did! This bra does not disappoint! It’s true to size. It keeps my chest lifted without straps digging in. It's super soft on my skin and keeps me dry! I bought five more and got rid of all my old bras. You will not be disappointed with these bras!" —Brynn Trimaldi

Get it from Amazon for $24.64+ (available in band sizes 28–48, cup sizes B–I, and 19 colors).

Promising review: "These gel eye patches have quickly become a staple in my routine, and for good reason — they deliver fantastic results. I've struggled with dark circles and general puffiness, especially on days when I don't get enough sleep. After just a few uses of these patches, I've noticed a significant improvement. My under-eye area looks brighter, more hydrated, and much less tired. They're so easy to use and feel incredibly refreshing, especially if I pop them in the fridge for a few minutes before applying. Five stars without a doubt — they've truly made a visible difference for me!" —Shana Daniels Gardner

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 my three girls' and my hair today before the pool, and our hair felt great after washing. Highly recommend." —Alyssa Speaker

Psst — reviewers say to size up one size! 

Promising review: "These jelly slides are so comfortable. I was skeptical at first because I used to wear these back in the 80s, and they were stiff, and I always got blisters. These I can wear all day! Very stylish with any outfit — dresses, shorts, skirts. Can dress them up or down. Very versatile. Love them so much I’m looking to buy more colors!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $34.98+ (available in women's sizes 6–11 and three colors). 

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 every 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

Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in 308 other shades and packs of three and four). 

Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this jelly cream. My skin looks amazing — no more chafing and peeling, and it feels and looks 'bouncy' and glowing, it’s hard to explain. As for people saying it’s sticky — they must be using way too much!! It dries beautifully, not sticky. A little goes A LONG way. This little tub should last a year or more easily. I use it under my Tret at night too. Love it!" —Beachy1

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available with a gua sha). 

Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge-type cleaning pad were the only things that worked, transforming this very dirty tub into cleaner than clean. Very little muscle power necessary. A little goes a long way. It removes the worst of things and leaves behind a kind of ceramic coating. It’s amazing." —Glinda

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in a set with a Sqeezy sponge). 

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 $8.97+ (available in six shades). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in six shades). 

Kuumba Made is a small business that specializes in luxury scents at affordable price points. 

Promising review: "This has become my favorite scent! It goes on with a coconut/vanilla scent that turns into a soft musky sweet sandalwood/amber scent. It’s a thicker oil consistency that lasts. I got the small roller bottle that is perfect to keep in my purse and for traveling. I’ll definitely buy again!" —Roberts0816

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

Get it from Amazon for $16.88+ (available in seven sizes and four colors). 

Promising review: "Very cute print. It fit perfectly to the sizes indicated. Material was great as it wasn’t too heavy yet wasn’t too sheer. I wore this on an island vacation and got a lot of compliments." —Monique D. 

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in women's sizes XL–5XL and 30 styles). 

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 

Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in three shades). 

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

Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (also available as a six-pack). 

Promising review: "Bought this because I was looking for a smaller version of the ChomChom. Works the same lint-wise, but the motion is different and easier for me because the handle aligns differently. The best I can describe is that the ChomChom has to go forward and backward, like away from and toward my body. This one goes side to side. And the smaller size is helpful." —Dolljrsw

Promising review: "Love this lemon salt. It tastes great on avocado toast. I’ve also added it to chicken piccata." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $3.47 (available as a two-pack). 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord can vouch for this brand: "For what it's worth, Pavoi — the company behind this piece — has gone TikTok viral time and time again for its classic, modern, and expensive-looking pieces. I personally own almost all my 'daily wear' jewelry from Pavoi and swear by it (particularly this gold-plated ring and these chunky gold-plated earrings!). Everything is so easy to accessorize and makes my outfits look and feel so much more put together, and the pieces are so durable that they're easily worth twice what I paid. Check out the rest of Pavoi's line of jewelry for more options, including earrings, bracelets, and anklets!" 

Promising review: "These earrings are the perfect size and look great for everyday and also dressing up. I packed these for a recent resort trip with my husband’s company, and they were perfect for plane travel, wearing with swimsuits, and dressing up for fancy restaurants. The price is really great for such high quality. The earrings didn’t tarnish from pool, shower, or ocean water. The clasp has never come undone." —Reilly S. Leonard 

Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in silver and gold finishes). 

As an oily skin gal who could never find a formula that didn't end up underneath my eyes a few hours in, this mascara bewitched me, body and soul. My thin lashes point downward and don't like to hold a curl, so I'm not sure what magical concoction is in this tube, but with a single coat I've got long, wispy lashes that I can practically hear going *fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh*! The Long Curling has been my go-to for a while and has survived sweaty, humid summers, super long days, and every cry sesh. I don't wear too much makeup, and imo it adds the perfect "medium amount" of volume, length, and definition — but if you prefer, they also have a Volume Curling (which is thicker for a bolder look) and a Fine formula (so pretty for no-makeup days and bottom lashes!). It does dry *super* quickly on my lashes, so I have to move fast while applying, and at the end of the day, I gently rub my eyes with my trusty Anua oil cleanser and have had zero problems with removal (and my lashes are super delicate). I never got complimented on my eyes until I started wearing this, so there's nooo way I'll stop any time soon! 

Promising review: "I saw this in a TikTok video, so I had to try it. With only one coat, I notice a tremendous difference! Looks like eyelash extensions! Does not flake. Does not run. This saved me a ton of money on extensions. :)" —Mandy Clarke

Get it from Amazon for $14.90 (available in six styles, five colors, and as a remover). 

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 like 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

Promising review: "Great value and such a cool water bottle!" —Gandalf

Promising review: "Absolutely obsessed with this dress! [It's] comfy and easy to wear. The material feels lightweight but not cheap, and the pockets are a huge bonus. I love the classic striped look with the pop of green collar; it gives sporty-chic vibes. Perfect for running errands, brunch, or casual days when you still want to look put together. True to size and so cute!" —Mustoe-Gallups

Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 13 styles). 

Each set comes with Floral Bloom, Cedar Rain, Citrus Pop, and Vanilla Dream scents. 

Promising review: "I love these hand creams! They feel so nice to put on, and my hands feel amazing afterward. I will definitely keep buying!!" —Debbie Perault

Get a set of four from Amazon for $17.87 (available in five different multipacks). 

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 possibly 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.

Promising review: "Another great Disney Mystery Coloring book. The spaces in this book are larger than in some of the others in the series, but they make for amazing pictures when they're completed. I've been using Languo acrylic pens to complete mine. I love how the images come together and how detailed they are. I've included pictures of all of the images included in the book." —Matt Hamblin

It's also rechargeable, so no batteries are required! 

Promising review: "It is so soft. Charges easy. Several light levels. This is so perfect for everything from babies' rooms to dorms to desks to hospital bedside tables.
