Three cheers for this gorgeous laptop tote bag, these comfy viral sneakers, and this customizable rope light that’s about to make your fall ridiculously cozy.

As a shopping editor with over a decade of experience working in journalism and digital media, I cover everything from beauty and fashion to home, travel, gaming, and pets, and I'm constantly saving interesting products on TikTok (in *very* organized folders, mind you) to share with BuzzFeed readers.

If you're someone who loves a good deal, you don't have to wait until Prime Day or Black Friday to get that feeling of, Wow, I just snagged something really cool at a great price. Nowadays, there are more and more brands coming up with cheaper versions of expensive, trendy, or designer products, offering the same look or (in some cases) basically the same results in a bottle that goes for less (sometimes *way* less). If that piques your interest, keep reading for some very juicy alternatives to Le Creuset, Lululemon, Hoka, and more.

Promising review: "SO happy with the purchase. This bag fits my work laptop (17.3 inches), my personal laptop, my iPad, my portfolio, my Kindle, and chargers for them all, with room to spare. The material is pretty good quality and has stood up well so far to my frequent travel. It looks so high-quality that I had a coworker who owns a Béis bag say that our bags look the same. But, honestly, I think this bag is better than the Béis work tote (a controversial statement, I’m sure). So much so that when I got a Béis bag for Christmas, I ended up returning it so I could keep using this tote! Definitely a must for young professionals who aren’t ready to shell out hundreds of dollars and commit to a designer work tote yet." —Hannah Rodlund

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in six colors).

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!"

Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more." —HAC 

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in pink and nude shades).

Promising review: "I love Rifle Paper Co. rugs, but they’re really expensive and not super thick or anything. I mostly love their designs. I saw this rug, and it didn’t have a lot of reviews, but I took a chance and am so glad I did! I bought the runner and then the door size, both for my kitchen. I love the design of this rug and the colors! I personally would prefer a straight edge, but it’s fine. I washed the runner in the laundry with no issues. It’s easy to vacuum and doesn’t get sucked up constantly. It’s soft and thin, but that’s fine for the price. I love them, and I hope they make more designs!" —Sydney

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 16 sizes/shapes and 11 colors). 

Promising reviews: "So comfortable and true to size. Would recommend these shoes for anyone looking for something easy to wear and durable for inside or outside wear." —Rita McClain

"Get these now!!!! More comfortable than the Rothy's!! Super cute cheetah print!!!" —Peetsie

Get these from Amazon for $54.90 (available in women's sizes 5.5–11 and eight colors).

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: "I am a skincare snob. I spend way too much money on products. But over the last couple of years, I’ve been trying to find a new moisturizer with SPF that doesn’t bankrupt me. I need something that can help my dry skin, protect from the sun, and not irritate my sensitive skin. I was skeptical about this product, never having heard of the brand, but I gave it a try. I am SO thrilled with the results. This moisturizer is BETTER than the $55 alternative I have been using. It moisturizes like a dream. It doesn’t pill. And my sensitive skin loves it. I am THRILLED with my purchase and will definitely be back for more!" —R. Berry

Promising reviews: "I researched a lot before choosing this Dutch oven. I wasn't sure that this brand would be of high quality because the price is so much lower than the famous Le Creuset and others. This Overmont product is stylish and big enough to hold a whole chicken or probably roast. On first cooking, we did jerk beef ribs and were pleased with the result. Heat distribution is excellent, and it's easy to clean with hot, soapy water." —NJM

"I bought this specifically for baking bread. Everyone was suggesting I buy the Le Creuset brand, but I'm new to the task, so I didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount. I could not be happier with my purchase. I've preheated both the pot and lid for an hour, as the recipes have said, and it works beautifully. It bakes fresh sourdough and yeast bread, yielding really beautiful brown crusts and even cooking throughout. I use parchment to line the pot for cooking, so clean-up is a breeze. 5 stars!" —Iris C. Wilson

Get a 5.5-quart pot from Amazon for $69.99 (available in 23 colors and three sizes). 

Promising reviews: "BESTIES, if you don't own these socks yet, buy them NOW! I purchased these over and over again after finding them. They beat every other ankle sock I've tried in comfort, durability, and price! They are the perfect height on my ankles and look great with every shoe or slipper. A NEED!" —Carly Mabli

"These are an alternative to the TNA Aritzia socks. They look identical and are very comfy and stylish. I love to pair these with sneakers and Birkenstock Boston clogs. Will order again." —Sabrina Marie Good

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $14+ (available in women's sizes 5–9 or 8–12 and in two colors).

It's color-adapting, so one of five shades will work well for any skin tone!

To use, apply this in thin layers to avoid creasing, then follow with your favorite setting powder (Catrice also makes one that matches these shades) if you like. If you don't like applying products with your fingers, they also make a triangle-shaped puff that's perfect for using with this.

I have this in the Light Rose shade (I'm very pale), and it works *so* well to brighten my undereyes — I use my fingers to apply it (after moisturizing and applying my primer), and it blends seamlessly. 

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. 

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in five shades). 

Promising review: "Had these for quite some time before tearing off the tags to wear them, and had so many compliments on them! I love them! Super comfy and fun." —Shannon Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 15 styles). 

Some reviewers compare this to the Hue LightStrip and prefer this option, considering it's a fraction of the price!

I own the old version of this light (before this newer model released) and still absolutely love it. First of all, it's SOOO easy to put on the wall — it comes with these little adhesive plastic brackets that you just slide onto the rope and then press against the wall, and continue adding them as needed to support the shape you're making. The Govee app makes it so easy to program the lighting however I like, and it's upgraded my nighttime cozy vibes in a MAJOR way. Also, when I moved apartments and re-mounted my Govee rope light in a different shape on my new wall, it was just as easy as the first time (just be careful removing the adhesive brackets as it can rip paint off — this happened to me with one of them, but we patched it easily).

I'll probably come back for this improved model eventually, which is made of even more flexible, softer materials and has improved lighting effects and upgraded bend clips. Plus, they now only offer this light in 9- and 16-foot lengths, which totally makes sense — mine is the old 6-foot version that they don't even sell anymore, probably because it's not quite long enough to make elaborate shapes with. You might not think you need that much length, but once you start creating waves and shapes on your wall, you'll realize it's very much needed to get the full effect!

Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three lengths).

Promising reviews: "I've seen these leggings all over TikTok and finally decided to give them a chance. I do a lot of HIIT workouts and find that these 'buttery soft' leggings never really hold up well. I don't know what they're doing differently here, but I love it. They are so soft and stretchy, but incredibly smoothing. They've done well in HIIT, low-impact, and weight-lifting workouts. I couldn't recommend these enough." —Ashley 

"These leggings are incredible! The fabric is so soft and feels just like Lululemon. Lightweight, high-quality, and sweat‑wicking. Even during intense workouts or runs, I don’t feel sweaty at all. They move perfectly with my body and stay in place without riding down. Definitely my new favorite pair!" —Kara

Get them from Amazon for $32 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 32 colors) — and check out matching tops and bras at the Amazon CRZ Yoga page! 

Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney 

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 34 colors). 

I own *several* of these workout tops from The Gym People now and absolutely love them; I have no doubt I'll be back for more. They're soft, comfortable to work out in, and look great on; plus, they come in the CUTEST shades and have built-in padding — what more could you want? 

Promising review: "Comparable to Lululemon. I love my Lulus but wanted something more affordable and this hit the mark! I’m typically a size medium, and the medium fits great! I bought two, the fuchsia and white — I love both colors and the material is very soft." —Alyssa Lynch

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and dozens of colors). 

Promising reviews: "Like a cloud ☁️ These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn; it feels like a pillow hugging your foot. The same day they were delivered, I ordered another pair in a different color. I’m a healthcare worker, and these are perfect for standing and being on your feet a lot. Walking feels very smooth and low-impact. I never leave reviews on anything, but these are amazing." —Ian Durham

"I’ve had these [for almost a year] and they are my go-to comfort walking shoe. I have a couple of Hokas, and I still prefer these because of the comfort and affordability. I’m buying my second pair now in a different color. I have plantar fasciitis and my doctor saw me in these shoes and said these were exactly the kind of shoe I need to wear." —Jennifer

Get them from Amazon for $59.49 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and eight colors).

Promising review: "TikTok brought me here. I saw so many DIYs being done and all the rave about comfortability. I must say, I'm even more impressed in person by this shoe. Buy them! Comparable style and fit to more high-end brands. As a sneaker woman, I'm happy to add these to my collection. I paired them with slouch socks." —anonymous

Get them from Walmart for $24 (available in sizes 6–12, including medium and wide sizes, and dozens of styles). 

They come with six label options: hand soap, dish soap, conditioner, shampoo, body wash, and lotion.

Promising reviews: "Have you ever wanted to flex on your friends but don't want to ball out for Aesop and instead have tasteful soap dispensers? Look no further." —EG

"I absolutely love these glass soap dispensers! They are beautiful, feel sturdy, and instantly elevated the look of my bathroom. The amber glass has a high-end, spa-like appearance, and the pumps work smoothly. They look much more expensive than they are and are an excellent value." —Leslie

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in various colors and pack options). 

Promising reviews: "So good I wanna gatekeep her. Stunning color for us pale girlies." —Grace

"This stuff is no joke. I like to use one product for my full face for a quick makeup routine: as eyeshadow, blush, and some highlight all at once. When I tell you I need exactly two dots for my whole face, I couldn’t be more serious! Has a different, more glossy texture than a Rare Beauty blush, but the pigment is much stronger. Comes off very dew-y and kind of glossy but can be made matte with powder. The only thing I will say is that if you overwork it, there can be small lifted spots, which happened to me when I first tried it because I used too much then had to try to blend so much. Already purchased another color." —Oscar Julian Zapotitla

Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in 12 shades).

Element Brooklyn is a New York–based business that makes home and body essentials with a focus on luxury fragrances and offering refills to cut down on waste. 

Promising reviews: "I used to buy the Maison Margiela 'By the Fireplace' candle every winter. I saw this mentioned on a Reddit thread and decided to try it. Honestly, it's indistinguishable. I'm a convert." —Eleanor V.

"The smell is fantastic, very warm and inviting. But the main reason I bought it was for the refillable system. The glass vessel looks good and feels permanent. Happy to have found a candle I love that isn't creating more waste." —Meera D.

Get it from Element Brooklyn for $32 (refills available for $20).

Promising reviews: "A perfect [swap] for the Hunter boots even the tread is the same but for a fraction of the price. Super cute and comfy and amazing quality. I’ve worn them like every day since I got them." —Hailey

"These are comfortable and sturdy. It’s no problem wearing them all day. I like them so much that I am buying a second pair in a different color. They were a great value and are a great product!" —Kit Splan

Get them from Amazon for $32.98+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 16 colors).

Psst — one dermatologist on TikTok even recommends using it on your armpits to help fight the bacteria that causes body odor! 

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

Promising review: "I love this pumpkin. Good quality, very soft, and looks great for fall decor. Great buy." —Tom

Get it from Amazon for $14.72+ (available in four colors).

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord vouches for these: "I am a recent convert to these JBL headphones, and as someone with a big chonky head, I CANNOT recommend them enough. I have had to 'stretch out' every pair of over-the-ear headphones I've ever bought, but these were comfy on my noggin and gentle on my ears (even with earrings on!) from the moment I opened them. The sound quality is absolutely gorgeous — I've been bopping around to the Wicked soundtrack like I'm an extra in both of the movies. I also am obsessed with how well these cancel noise, as someone living in very noisy NYC!"

Get it from Amazon for $119.95 (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "This entire series of glassware is adorable! I bought several patterns, and I’m impressed. The inlay is so cute, they’re durable and a nice height and width, and have held up in the dishwasher." —happymom88

Get it from Target for $6.39 (originally $7.99; available in 11 styles).

Check out a TikTok of the marshmallow lip treatment in action. 

Promising review: "My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax)." —Breanah Shirazi

Promising review: "I recently got this and it's become a new favorite in my wardrobe. The color is rich and versatile, while still being neutral. It is perfect for pairing with jeans or layering under a jacket. The waffle texture adds a cozy feel without being too heavy, making it ideal for cooler days. The quality is very nice, it feels expensive and is on the 'heavier' side. It's also super comfortable and fits just right—definitely a go-to piece for casual outings or lounging around." —The Duchess Corgi

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and six colors). 

It's recommended to store this in the fridge to slow down oxidation and help the product last longer! If you use this in the morning, be sure to follow with sunscreen.

I've been using this for months now and just ordered my second bottle! I see such a difference in the overall brightness of my skin when I'm consistent about using this every morning (I keep it refrigerated in between use). I have very sensitive skin and this fragrance-free serum plays very nicely with it — there's no irritation. It makes my complexion so bright and glowy that when I do actually wear makeup, I credit this product for giving me that radiance that shines through. It has definitely earned its place in my routine!

Promising review: "I’m on my fourth bottle. I have tried several other brands, but they oxidize quickly. The pump keeps oxygen from getting in, which slows any oxidation. It works well and fades my brown spots beautifully. It also gives me a wonderful glow even after a freshly cleansed face. It has all the important ingredients without the [high] price. Love it!" —Shawny

Get it from Amazon for $22.09 (clip the coupon for this price!). 

Promising review: "Saw Urban Outfitters had a tomato lamp for $100 and said hell naw. But then this lamp came along from the Amazon gods for $30 and no way I could pass up such a sick lamp. Smaller than anticipated but is immaculate. Runs almost every day/all day and has been doing great for a year now. After a few hours, it automatically goes to the strobing setting. Remote has never failed me yet (knock on wood)." —Samantha L.

Promising review: "Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of Kleenex. But otherwise, it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I’ve used MAC and Urban Decay setting spray, and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in two sizes).

The weights are covered with a sweatproof, skin-friendly silicone layer that's comfortable, and the adjustable elastic band helps you get the right fit. You can even remove weights as well if needed!

Promising review: "I love these! So great for yoga or mat Pilates. I like that they are 2 pounds each, which is the perfect weight, and you can even take off weight as well. I use them every week for my workouts. Very durable band as well!" —Robyn

Get a pair from Amazon for $20.69+ (available in three weights and 13 color combos).

Promising reviews: "Great [swap for] the Reformation flats for a fraction of the price! They are so comfortable and provide great arch support." —Danielle mishin

"This is the second pair I purchased. I also have the pink; the colors and quality of the velvet are truly amazing for the price, and it has that soft padding with some cushion. Inserts would be easy to use with these shoes. I wear size 11, and the fit is comfortable. No rubbing, no blisters, and, because they are velvet fabric, there is a slight stretch, but not too loose either." —MG

Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in sizes 5–13 and eight styles).

Promising review: "Obsessed with this purse! And a reasonably priced option for such a popular bag trend right now. Good size to fit essentials like phone/wallet." —Jacscott15

Check it out a TikTok of the E.l.f. mascara in action.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord swears by this: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!) but it also comes in black and soft black."

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

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says this is her go-to satin pillowcase: "I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry. They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom and now she's in love with them too!"

Promising review: "I ordered these pillowcases just to see if they could compete with Blissy. Well, they can. I have washed them three times and they came out great. They seem to protect your hair and skin. So, I’m very happy with them." —EMc

Get a set of two from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in standard, queen, king, and body pillow sizes and 23 colors).

If the name rings a bell, it's likely because you've used or heard of this brand's beloved under-eye masks!! You can check out Grace & Stella's Amazon page to find those and more high-quality, affordable versions of beauty products.

Promising review: "This is a must! Feels like a cloud and way better than a hand towel to dry your face, the perfect self-care product." —Jennifer

Get a pack of 60 from Amazon for $9.95. 

These are safe for the oven, microwave, and dishwasher! Just note that the size is very mini; they're best for single servings of soup and other small dishes.

Promising review: "I love this pretty pot. I use it for dipping sauce and a melting pot, and keep it on the stove for decor. I love showing it off when people ask me where I get it from." —Sandra L. 

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors). 

You can see the gold- and silver-plated duo stacked on the reviewer's wrist above (the two on the right). They look great on their own or as part of a stack!

Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three colors, three sizes, and a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I have not tried the name-brand brush, but grabbed this one to see if the design worked for my hair. Holy defined curls, Batman! I styled pretty much as usual, but used the brush to distribute the product (I use Innersense gel), lifting at the roots and letting the curls bounce after I released. This photo is after breaking the cast with some hair oil. My curls are never this defined. Don’t think twice about it: your curls need this brush." —Natalie Gonzalez

Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in three colors). 

As an added bonus, there are no visible labels from the company on the shoe. (And reviewers say they're even easier to pull on than Uggs!)

Promising review: "I had these on my wishlist for a while but was skeptical. I’m glad I finally ordered them! They fit perfectly and are SO much easier to put on than my real Ugg minis, which I love. They’re very comfy and warm. Highly recommend! Glad I bought them to wear while I wait for Ugg to restock their tan ultra minis." —Violet

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in women's sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and in 15 colors). 

Promising review: "I painstakingly searched for hours for a 6x9 faux fur white rug that had solid reviews and didn't cost an arm and a leg. I'm so glad I did my research because I didn't find this one until right at the end! It feels so soft and luxurious and totally pulls my room together!! Most of the similar rugs I looked at were at least $250, if not a lot more, so when I found this for $140, I just couldn't beat it! My living room is very large and somewhat narrow, and it fills the space perfectly! I also bought the 2x3 throw, which is just as soft and awesome as the larger rug!! Highly recommend!!!" —Isiah Abraham

Sunglasses are one of those things that are more of a functional item than a fashion statement for me, so I refuse to pay for high-end brands. That being said, I did like the look of these online, so I stocked up with one of the three-packs and absolutely love them. I had to adjust to the more slender, oval shape (which, of course, doesn't block out *as much* of the sun as large sunglasses do), but it's still more than adequate for everyday wear for me. And I've gotten numerous compliments on these — I had them at a pool party with some friends, and they literally thought they were designer and were *shocked* to hear they're from Amazon.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I’ve received so many compliments already." —Arsalan sheikh

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four styles and packs of two or three).

Also, she's ~multipurpose~ — reviewers like to use this as a blush too!

Promising reviews: "I used to manage a Benefit Cosmetics boutique and I can say this is 100% comparable to BeneTint! 👍🏽 The sheerness is natural-looking but not invisible, and the color lasts a workday. Not heavy like a power blush that sits on top of the skin. No breakouts!" —Katie Stober

"I bought this on a whim after seeing a TikTok where it was suggested. I tried it for the first time today, and it definitely lives up to the hype. I take the excess off on the side of the bottle and then put a couple of dots on my cheeks and blend it out with a brush so I don't get it on my hands. It blended easily and surprisingly wasn't too dark. Gives a nice, natural flush." —FinAndMarketing

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in nine shades and in sets of three). 

Promising review: "I have (and cherish) a Jenni Kayne 'Cocoon' cardigan. It’s in basic beige and while I’ve dreamed of adding more colors to my wardrobe, these sweaters are like $500. That’s kind of an undertaking. I took a chance on these and I’m so glad I did. I ordered this sweater in both gray and navy and I was blown away by the quality. The cashmere cardigan from JK is softer and cozier, but these have an amazing comfy weight to them and a very smooth weave that washes well. It’s the same look for much less money, and I can wear them with comparatively little worry. These don’t snag easily. Super impressed!" —Alexis Dawdy
