You don’t have to bust up your whole budget to enjoy this new ~confetti cake~ lotion and this set of touchscreen earbuds.

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.

Each set has a sample size of Moroccanoil Treatment, Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, All-in-One Leave-in Conditioner, Mending Infusion, and Shower Gel.

Promising review: "I bought this set to see what all the hype was about, and I'm so glad I did! Every product smells amazing without being overpowering, and my hair felt noticeably softer, shinier, and much less frizzy after just a few uses. The travel sizes are perfect for vacations, the gym, or trying the line before committing to full-size products. Everything feels high quality, and a little goes a long way. This would also make a great gift. I'll definitely be purchasing the full-size versions of my favorites!" —Mary 

Promising review: "I have to wear my hair up for work. These are great to dress up a simple pony! The colors are exactly as shown and go with a variety of outfits. The quality is top-notch." —SunnyStyle

Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as single ties and in smaller sizes). 

Promising review: "This lotion smells so good! It truly gives me confetti cake vibes with vanilla icing on top. I was hesitant to buy this lotion because I am usually an EOS girl, but I couldn't resist trying this confetti cake scent. I am very impressed with this lotion. It is moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy. The formula is thick and creamy, which makes application a breeze. Jergens needs to reconsider making this a permanent scent! It has made me want to try the other Jergens scents." —amber

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 that 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

Promising review: "This dust is the best seasoning in the world. I use it on everything. I actually use this to season pork, don’t knock it ’til you try it. It’s really good to put on ribs. You can put it on waffles. You can put it on cereal, you can put it on oatmeal, you name it." —Sarah N. Donnie

Fun extra feature — you can even use these as a remote clicker for your camera!! 

Promising review: "These earbuds are a great buy. The sound is crisp, the fit is comfy even after hours, and the battery life is really impressive. Super easy to pair, and the call quality is solid. The noise cancellation is amazing." —Kelley Hadley 

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors). 

Promising review: "Great high-quality mascara. I'm super mascara-picky, and this one pleases me. I was afraid of the applicator at first, but once I practiced with it, it did a great job. I like that it stays put and doesn't dot over my eye even after exercising. Comes off with soap and water without tugging my lashes. Great price for a 'high-end' mascara. Highly recommend it!" —Jen

Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in black and brown). 

Promising review: "I adore the original Dove scent and love anything gourmand, so when I saw this, I had to grab it. It’s DELICIOUS! Not overly nutty like Eos Pistachio. This smells very clean and leans more toward warm vanilla with a hint of pistachio. It’s light, but you can smell it. My boyfriend loves how this smells too, and kept smelling me after the shower lol. Might have to grab another bottle." —K

Promising review: "I will keep buying this product!!!!! The scent is sooo nice, I love it. Even before you get into the bath, you feel relaxed." —samantha

Promising review: "Look far more expensive than they are. Super chic, lightweight, and comfortable. They really look like high-quality earrings!" —Christine

"These earrings were fabulous, lightweight, and didn’t cause any irritation with my ears after wearing them for 6+ hours! Great price point and they stayed in great even through dancing the night away at a wedding!" —Samantha Jocelyn

I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that, for some reason, I am always more comfortable in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear leggings, and I'm happy to report that after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. 

Promising review: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, but I tried these first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $28 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). 

Promising review: "I have sensitive skin, so I am always nervous awaiting the reaction I’ll experience from a new product. I have been SO happy with this!! It glides on like butter. It doesn’t take much at all to hydrate your skin. I love to use it in the mornings when I don’t feel like doing my whole skincare routine. I’ll just slap this on my face, and I’m good to go for the day, haha. My skin feels moisturized for like 8+ hours when I use it. I don’t notice a scent, or I’ve just never sniffed for one lol. I have bought one that stays at work as well because the work air just makes my skin feel dry. And this serum stick makes my skin instantly feel sooo much better and revived. Overall, 10 out of freaking 10." —Mackenzie 

Promising review: "I have to thank all the Amazon customers who have written precise, accurate details on these pants. You guys are the reason I pulled the trigger, after so many failed purchases/returns of similar pants product from other vendors. It has been a totally frustrating experience. These are the closest pant to the Ruti 'On the Loose' barrel pant. Quality is so good, and fit is spectacular. I almost cried for joy when I put these pants on and looked in the mirror. Better than I ever could have imagined. And that is saying a lot as I just had abdominal surgery six days ago — which means a lot of swelling to boot. Do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed." —Brenda Shuey 

Get it from Amazon for $34.98 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and seven colors).

I *jumped* on this because I'm a huge fan of Clinique's Black Honey line — I'm wearing the Mauve Mentality shade that's meant to be an alternative to the $25 Nude Honey above! I love the consistency of this and the lightweight, buildable color. It's the perfect "keep this by the door/in a purse" lip tint that goes well with pretty much any outfit, since it's in that genre of "no makeup makeup." My only complaint is that you have to be careful not to twist it too high up, since the formula is kind of melty and makes it hard to twist back down. But otherwise this is an EXCELLENT everyday lippie to have in your arsenal!! 

Promising review: "Love these. Sheer, pigmented, but buildable, and don't feel heavy or thick or sticky like Wet 'N Wild lip oils do. I love that it's available in a stick option." —catina m. claytor

Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in 11 shades). 

Promising review: "Absolutely love these. I work with boilers, so I am rough with my hands and these last. Also, if I happen to pop one off, I can pop another back on in seconds. The glue is very strong, and they come off so easily with the same brand removal oil. They are so quick to put on, I get a beautiful set of nails in under 15 minutes. Great value for the money. I like the thickness as they are not bulky, but definitely not thin. The color is stunning! I have purchased about seven different sets, as well as the toenails. Highly recommend." —Lynn

GUESS WHAT, they also have an entire line of NFL nails for fall!! You're welcome. 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in dozens of other styles for fall and Halloween!). 

This brand, Grace & Stella, is also behind the viral, beloved under-eye masks that blow up on TikTok all the time! 

Promising review: "This is the best lip balm I've ever tried. It is intensely moisturizing and feels pleasant. When my lips get super dry in winter, this lip balm turns things around IMMEDIATELY. It's the only lip balm I ever plan to repurchase, honestly." —!!!

Promising review: "I got this dress for a wedding, and it was perfect! Absolutely stunning fit and design, and I got so many compliments! I am 5"3' and was worried about the length, but it was perfect. I ordered a medium, and it was super comfortable and had good stretch, but also hugged my figure perfectly. I also LOVE the neckline! Highly recommend!" —Kaila Overstreet Theising

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

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

You can check out Vaseline's radiant body oils and lotions for more options! 

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: "This stuff is AMAZING! I love the larger roller ball, the cooling effect, and the instant depuffing of my eyes. Will definitely keep on hand!" —TRISTA T. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in a steel or rose quartz rollerball). 

Promising review: "I have a real diamond tennis bracelet that I don’t always like to travel with or wear in the water. This is the perfect swap! The quality for the price is amazing, and it shines like it’s real. I’ve worn it all summer in the pool, and it hasn’t tarnished at all." —Sarah Reeves

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! 

Get it from Amazon for $20.95+ (available in three colors, two styles, and three sizes). 

The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel.

Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross), and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m

Psst — you can snag a Bob Ross color-by-number coloring book on Amazon, too!

I am so very in love with this dreamy, floral, slightly sweet soap that I refuse to stock my bathroom with anything else. It's so fresh and lovely without being overpowering and feels so nice on my skin. I have to wash my hands a lot because of NYC public transit and diaper changes, but my hands are never dry from using this. 

Promising review: "These panties are incredibly comfortable and quickly became an everyday favorite. The seamless design truly lives up to its promise. The fabric is silky, smooth, and lightweight, so they disappear under clothing with zero panty lines, even under fitted leggings or dresses. If you want underwear that feels barely there, stays invisible under clothing, stretches well, provides just the right amount of support, and holds up over time, this pack is an excellent choice." —Amazon Customer

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Check out a TikTok of the Lulu Candle in action. 

Promising review: "This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice, strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It's a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!" —Cristina Bertolotto

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).

Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "This is a beautiful scarf. The material is soft and the print is beautiful. I wore it as a belt and as hair accessories. I got many compliments. Definitely a nice piece to add to your collection." —Yvette Tapia

Get it from Amazon for $7.19 (available in 42 styles). 

Promising review: "Modern long-sleeve tee. It could also act like a thin sweatshirt, too! Fit just like expected. So comfortable and soft. Not too baggy, just right. True to size. Looks nice on. Great with jeans or leggings. Highly recommend." —Laurel824 

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and 35 styles)

Get it from Amazon for $23.01 (available in sizes S–XL and ten colors). 

Promising review: "Tired of traditional 'cool' pillows that feel like a brick? Tired of soft pillows that wake you up in sweat? Look no more! I am a very hot-natured, hot-sleeping person. I can not sleep without a fan on high blowing on me. This pillow is legitimately cool and comfortable. Somehow soft but still supportive. Very, very happy with my purchase and the price!" —Robert

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two styles and Standard, Queen, and King sizes). 

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! 

Promising review: "Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy-looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add that I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" —BB

Psst — parents really love this as a "calm down" moment for their kiddos! 

Promising review: "This little cloud guy is adorable and squishy! His face is very sweet, and the color morphing is great. I really like it’s calming, and even if you don’t use it for meditation, it’s a cute night-light." —RgHound

Promising review: "This is a quality product in my opinion. Equal to Moleskine sketchbooks at half the price. I don't often write reviews, but I have purchased and used a few of these, filled them up, carried them about, and found them quite durable." —E. D. Scoville 

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 26 colors with blank, lined, dotted, or grid pages). 

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for over a year now and it’s been great! It’s super cute and does the job perfectly for espresso shots and milk frothing. It does feel a bit fragile, so I always hand-wash it instead of using the dishwasher — especially to protect the wooden handle from any wear. Still in great shape after regular use. Definitely a nice little accessory for any espresso setup!" —KP

Promising review: "Love this primer + setting spray! You get the perfect amount in the size bottle, and the spray mechanism came and worked perfectly fine. The packaging is sleek and professional, and when applied onto the face, it does not leave skin feeling oily or have that slimy texture left behind as some primers do. When used together with a full face of makeup, I swear it lasted over eight hours with no touch-ups. Perfect, perfect, perfect setting spray + primer choice. Will always buy!" —Lauren Snay

Promising review: "Blends so smoothly. It melts into your skin. Not too pigmented but definitely buildable. Looks very natural. The staying power is excellent! I put it on at 6 a.m., and at 9 p.m., it’s still holding strong. Best bank for your buck." —LAURA KASS 

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in seven shades).
