You will squeal when this duck crossbody purse shows up at your doorstep.

I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Promising review: "If you’re willing to splurge on a blanket, this is the one. My favorite blanket that I’ve ever owned. My dog and cat love it too!" —UO Reviewer

Get it from Urban Outfitters for $169 (available in four styles). 

Check out a TikTok of the Laneige Neo Blurring Powder in action. 

Promising review: "I loved this setting powder, it blurred my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim 

Promising review: "They're ridiculously good. They have a lovely, perfectly sweet caramelized crust. With added Himalayan salt. Crackery, buttery crunch. I can definitely see them being incredible with a pungent cheese spread and hot honey or something similar. Perfect for a unique addition to a charcuterie board. They came packaged really well. Not one was broken. I will absolutely be purchasing more, but the 30 count. The 10 count won't last me long." —SaraK

Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three flavors and two pack sizes). 

BuzzFeed Editor Jenae Sitzes is a fan of these sponges:

"I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful), and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So, even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!"

Promising review: "I saw these on a BuzzFeed list and was instantly sold! I hated running out of brushes when doing my makeup, and using multiple eyeshadow colors or wanting to use the same brush for different colors. This has saved me from having to buy 10 more brushes because now I can use my favorite handful of brushes and just wipe them off and keep going! It blew my mind how easy this sponge knocks all the eyeshadow off my brushes! I cannot recommend these enough if you don't want to shell out for more makeup brushes!" —Erica Saldivar

FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "Soooo pretty and makes the room dance with glittery disco spots. It’s such a whimsical little addition to the plant window." —KB 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves it: "I....can't stop eating this sauce. It was an impulse buy when browsing at Stew Leonard's (IYKYK), and it's turned out to be one of my favorite spontaneous grocery cart additions. I've since seen it on TikTok, and for good reason — the sauce is sweet and thick (kind of like an eel sauce viscosity) with just the right hint of spice for me. If you love spice, you'd probably need to add some chili oil, which would also be delish. I put it on a lot of things (it would be good on cardboard, frankly), but one of my favorites is to slice up a cucumber — and half an avocado if I have it — drizzle on this sauce and add some toasted sesame seeds. The perfect side dish or snack! I just bought the 16-ounce size bottle, so I don't need to worry about running out as quickly. Bonus: the larger size bottle also has a twist cap instead of a pop-off cap (the pop-off is kind of annoying and gets a little messy and makes the sauce harder to shake before drizzling)."

Promising review: "Seriously, don't read it. Stop. Cease. Desist! Read no further. You're still here? Very well. You're wasting valuable time you could be using to order this sauce. I've ordered several bottles and it's good enough to eat over rice with nothing else added. Superb! Go buy yourself a few bottles. Right now. Go!" —NumeralXVI

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four flavors, two sizes, and a variety three-pack). 

Promising reviews: "I have only used the two original pens that I purchased and can already see an improvement. I am older than 60 and drink coffee daily and red wine weekly." —vicki houska

"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" —Mimi Doherty

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.95 (also available individually and in a four-pack).

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

Get it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in two sizes — check out other scents on Kuumba Made's landing page!)

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown has these and loves them: "I bought these to wear under my wedding dress back in 2023, and have worn them consistently under all kinds of dresses every summer since. They work exactly the way they claim to: they're super stretchy for comfort, prevent chafing even on the sweatiest of days, and never feel too hot. I machine wash 'em in a protective bag and air-dry them, and they still look completely brand new."

Promising review: "These are perfect for under dresses, even in the hot, humid summer. The pocket is perfect to slip my phone in so I can be hands-free. Great quality! I have two pairs, one black and one beige." —Amanda Martinez

Get it from Thigh Society for $39+ (available in women's sizes XS–2XL, three lengths, and in 12 colors). 

Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots, all about the size of a dollar bill, baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon, and I thought, whatever. That's one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried, and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well, it broke apart with the broom, and the stains were gone. I just swept up the powder pieces — it took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and is easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete, so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface, but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." —AmazonBob

Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).

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 that 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 $7.99 (available in four colors). 

Promising review: "I have decided to name my purse Goosebert. Goosebert is very cute and very durable. He also has plenty of space for your phone, money, and any other necessities. Most definitely worth the money." —Johnathon Stidham

Get it from Amazon for $20.63+ (also available in yellow/orange).

Promising review: "I’ve used mascara for 15 years, I’ve tried a million kinds and this is by far the best. I have long eyelashes and have always had issues with getting raccoon eyes or it winding up on my eyelid throughout the day. This mascara stays on the lashes for 16+ hours, no smudging, and is incredibly easy to remove at the end of the day. Also, noting less damage to my eyelashes with how easily the product comes off. 10/10, buy this." —Shelby Droegemueller

"This mascara absolutely lives up to the hype. It gives my lashes amazing length and definition without clumping, and I love how lightweight it feels compared to traditional mascaras. The tubing formula stays put all day — no smudging, flaking, or raccoon eyes even after long days — but it removes so easily with warm water at night. It genuinely gives a “lash extensions” effect while still looking natural and separated. One of the best mascaras I’ve tried and definitely worth the price!" —Courtney

Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in brown and black). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sneakers. As someone who’s on my feet all day for work, finding stylish shoes that also offer comfort is tough — but these deliver. The air-cushioned support is amazing and keeps my feet feeling good even after a long day. The fit supports high arches. As for the quality, they’re super lightweight, breathable, and versatile enough to dress up or down. The colors are vivid, not faded, and one can appreciate the attention to detail on these sneakers. I can wear them with jeans and even dresses! Highly recommend." —ST

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and eight colors). 

Promising review: "I actually did not know anything like this existed. I was watching TikTok and saw someone use it to allow the light to shine in without people being able to stare into their home. So I decided to give it a try, and am so glad I did. It is beautiful. I currently have it on a small window, and the difference it makes as opposed to aluminum foil is amazing. Plus, if you like a little light but not an over-abundant amount, this is the stuff to use. Very easy to put up, very happy with my purchase." —Eva Thomas

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in eight sizes)

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. 

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (also available as a two-pack).  

Promising review: "I'm obsessed!!! I keep this in my teacher desk so that I can easily use it whenever I stop for coffee in the morning on my way to school. It's a super cute pattern for an English teacher. I can hold my iced coffee without making my hands cold. The best part is that I don't have a puddle of condensation on my desk as the coffee melts." —Former Lifeguard, sunglasses expert

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five sizes and various other prints)

Promising review: "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together, and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." —Max Ferg

Check out a TikTok of the Biodance mask in action.

Promising review: "Oh…my god…. 🤯 No scent. It starts milky white and turns clear. I left it on overnight, woke up, and I was shook!! Pores? Where? Dry patch? Where? Fine wrinkles? Whheeerrrrrre??? I put it on over my lips as well, and it almost looked like I had filler. It was so plump! 10/10 recommend. Holy grail of face masks <3" —Kichi

Get it from Amazon for $19 for a pack of four (also available in a pack of 16 and three other formulas).

Promising review: "I have never seen a more beautiful blanket in my life. The images of the red roses crochet blanket looked exactly like an actual blanket — it was warm, high quality, and cost way less than others of the same size. Not to mention, a majority of the other crochet roses I looked at looked like rolled-up socks to me, while the roses on this blanket were detailed with little crochet leaves. Even the packaging it came in was elegant. Recently bought a second one for my mother." —Jones

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes and seven styles).

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 any 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)

Nuts 'N More is a small business that specializes in unique peanut and almond spreads.

Promising review: "Amazing flavor, one of the best flavored peanut butters I have tried. I eat it by the spoonful without bread because it is that good, and I love that it has little topping pieces as well." —Tina Ray 

Get it from Amazon for $18.47+ (available in seven other flavors). 

Jim & Gloria is a small business that sells arts and crafts kits. 

Promising review: "These were so much fun! The colors are bright and the pens are easy to use. I highly recommend dyeing your animal; it's a lot of fun! And he looked super cute." —Jenny w.

Check out a TikTok of Gold Bond in action. 

Promising review:  "Absolute sorcery. I have sagging skin at the jawline from weight loss. This stuff has absolutely helped! I’m really impressed. Has smoothed out the crepe paper look. Try it!" —S. Livingston

"This cream has tightened the skin around my neck beyond my expectations. I’ve been using it daily (morning and evening) for over two months and still have product left. I’ve even tried it on my face, and it gives me a bit of a 'facelift.' I’m officially a Bond girl. A bit sticky to the touch after a few hours of wear, but that doesn’t bother me. Will order again." —AP Wang

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

Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now, and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring, and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." —Eva Richterkessing

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles) 

Promising review: "This kit was the perfect Christmas gift for our 6-year-old! It was packaged well and clearly labeled, the ingredients were fresh, and included very cute and easy-to-follow directions! It was a great activity for all of us to enjoy together! We did half the regular salt pretzels and half with cinnamon and sugar; both were delicious!" —Austin

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in four other cooking kits like bagels and cinnamon buns).

My review: I LOOOOOVVE THIS SETTING SPRAY!! I am a ride-or-die fan of OneSize because it actually works. Especially as a concert/festival goer, I need my makeup to look like how I arrived, even after hours of sweating, intense dancing, and sometimes tears. It also isn't like other setting sprays that leave your face soaking wet, where your makeup ends up just melting off. This sprays "dry," so it doesn't feel like you are adding another layer of product. I also love it for days I use only liquid products, as it absorbs extra oil, so I don't look like a glazed donut. It's almost like a spray-on translucent powder! 

Promising review: "I have extremely oily skin to the point that if I wear makeup, by the end of the day, I’m able to easily swipe my fingers across my face and my makeup comes right off. I naturally sweat profusely regardless of the weather, but summertime is worse. This setting spray is the only one that actually locks my makeup in place. This is a holy grail item that I will never go without now. Spend the money because it is worth every penny. Oily girls, buy this. Sweaty girls, this is the product you want." —LaurenNicola 

Get it from Sephora for $34 (also available in a mini size).

Promising reviews: "New favorite product. I love Phlur and use the body mist and perfume, but this…. THIS IS THE ONE! Absolutely worth it after a fresh shave. Not greasy, moisturizing, and the scent is so long-lasting. I received many compliments on it and didn’t feel it was heavy. Literally perfect!" —Kelsey

"The smell is incredible and long-lasting! This body oil goes on easily, smells amazing, and leaves your skin very soft. The shine on the skin looks great during the day and at the beach." —Female customer

Dryer balls are eco-friendly *and* budget friendly because you can use them over and over. Friendsheep is a small business that sells dryer balls handmade by women in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Promising review: "Soot sprites that help with laundry! They’re incredible and bring joy to an otherwise dull chore. They work really well, last a long time, and I swear they make my clothes softer somehow. Less static too! I used to always have static with dryer sheets, but not with these. I have sensitive skin, and these don’t leave any weird films or scents on my clothes." —Kristin Murison | Mermaid Kristin Sparkle

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $21 (available in six styles, including ladybugs and penguins).
