Treat your cute self to this beautiful wineglass set or this brown sugar body scrub without making a dent in your bank account.

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: "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 

Check out a TikTok of The Met x Band-Aid collab in action. 

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: "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

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: "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 $9.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and dozens of colors).

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

Check out all of Kitsch's new releases on their Amazon storefront! 

Promising review: "I’ve been wanting a lymphatic face brush for a while, and since I’ve had great experiences with Kitsch products before, this one was an easy add-to-cart for me. I used it for the first time tonight after doing my skincare, and I was immediately impressed by how soft the bristles are. There was absolutely no tugging, scratching, or irritation, and my skin looked noticeably glowy afterward. I also felt like brushing after applying my skincare helped the products absorb really nicely. I didn’t notice a dramatic de-puffing effect after just one use, so I can’t speak to that yet, but I’m excited to keep using it consistently and see how it does over time. The fact that I’m already looking forward to using it again tomorrow morning says a lot. Really pleasant to use and feels much gentler than I expected. Definitely recommend!" —Kassi

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: "Crate & Barrel look for less. These look and feel very high-end — almost like a thin crystal." —Lauren

Check out a TikTok of the Sunkissed Poppy Hand Soap in action. 

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: "This Kitsch French hairpin is both beautiful and functional. The gold finish is sleek and adds a touch of elegance, whether I'm dressing up or going casual. It holds my thick hair in place all day without slipping and is much more comfortable than hair ties. Great for buns, twists, or quick updos. Super easy to use once you get the hang of it. Definitely a staple in my hair routine now!" —J. Lee Hall

Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. 

I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! 

Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018

Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 

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: "These bracelets are so cute and are a great accessory to my outfits. I get compliments on these bracelets all the time. They are also a really nice shade of gold. You can also adjust the size of all of the bracelets." —Alysia Moore

Check out a TikTok of the Slipsticks in action. 

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). 

I am OBSESSED with Maldon Sea Salt flakes — I love to put them in olive oil for dipping bread, on top of any chocolate dessert, on any kind of potato or cheese dish. Every time I think to put it on something new, my brain does a little high-five with my mouth. 

Promising review: "This is elite salt. Fancy without being pretentious. The flakes are perfect for finishing, adding that satisfying little crunch and flavor pop to everything from steaks to chocolate chip cookies and buttered sourdough toast. Yes, toast. Trust me. The tub is massive and resealable, which keeps it fresh and easy to use. If you’re into flavor, this is the salt upgrade your pantry didn’t know it needed." —Alyn Reads

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

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: "Do not hesitate to try this product if you have a hard skin problem on your feet. It takes a few days to see a difference, but now I can see a change. Just like that, the skin on my pinky toe is not rock solid anymore. Bye bye, pain — and I am not joking." —Majda

Promising review: "MCoBeauty really is becoming one of my favorite brands. For the product, packaging, and quality, the price cannot be beat. If one were to do a quick Google search, one would find that this brand is often recommended as a lower-cost alternative to many name-brand beauty products. Warm Terracotta is my new absolute favorite blush. The color gives me that 'just got back from the beach' look. The creamy formula blends out so easily, and I think the amount of product that is needed per use, this stick will last you forever." —Marissa

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two shades and a two-pack).  

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: "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

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: "A very thick, long scarf. Warm, bundled up around your ears. I've been getting compliments left and right — my coworker even asked for one for her birthday, so I have to make another purchase. I love the warmth of it." —Davona Dunns

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

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 reviews: "I'm impressed with the quality of these pens. The 0.5mm fine point delivers a super smooth writing experience, and the ink dries quickly, leaving clean, neat lines. The barrel is also very comfortable to hold, even for extended periods. The retro colors are a stylish bonus. Highly recommend!" —Marie70

Get a set of five from Amazon for $7.64 (available in 12 styles and different pack sizes).

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: "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). 

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 $13.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and 35 styles) 

Promising review: "It does help if you have some sinus congestion to relieve it somewhat when you use it in the shower. I do like the scent and find it helps to relax you as you steam in the shower. It is not overpowering, but it eases your body and mind. Would recommend." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These soft socks are like walking on clouds! I put them on and instantly felt the warm, cuddly comfort — they’re so soft, I never want to take them off. Perfect for chilly mornings or lounging around the house, they make me feel like I’m wrapped in a hug. The best part? They’re super cute and come in fun colors and patterns that add a little extra personality to my outfit. Whether I’m relaxing with a book, watching my favorite show, or just need some serious comfort, these socks are my new go-to. If you love feeling cozy and want to add a splash of fun to your sock drawer, these are a total must-have. Soft, stylish, and oh-so-snuggly!" —Shannon

Promising review: "Instant reduction in dark circles. This is an excellent eye cream. Hydrating, but not greasy." —Tearra Hines 

If you're looking for a base for these, a lot of people use mini plant propagation vases and floral essential oils for diffusing!

Promising review: "I love that the diffuser sticks have the flowers, it gives a totally different look. You would not think that they are what’s giving my office the relaxing scent it has. Very decorative!" —Khia Phifer

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

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
