Heads up: Most reviewers advise sizing down!

Promising review: "Looks even better in person. A perfect fall jacket. I purchased a medium-sized sweater, and it is quite roomy underneath. Very well made and a beautiful print pattern." —Maria

Promising review: "Super cute ghost! set up was a breeze! Kid friendly for the little ones!" —Paula

Promising reviews: "I received this yesterday and it's just the perfect size to take to work or travel. I love the Bagsmart products." —Sophia

Price: $18.99+ (available in three sizes and 11 colors/styles)

Promising reviews: "Love this new Walmart brand! This sweater is super cute — more of a chunky knit for the transition to fall. Love all the colors woven into the thread, and the puff sleeves and button-down front give it some extra pizzazz. Fits true to size." —dko

"This sweater is so cute and comfy! It looks and feels much more expensive than what I paid for it; what a great price! I actually have it in two colors; fits true to size." —Mary

Price: $19.98 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

Promising review: "Love my new handbag, Olive is my choice of color. Plenty of room for everything I need to put in it. I'm so glad I brought one before it was sold out." —Doll

Price: $25.96 (available in suede, leather, and two colors)

Promising review: "Love Cuddl Duds, been wearing them for years. Great for winter and as a sleep nightshirt." —Joan

Price: $12.96 (available in sizes XS–4X and six colors)

Grab the "Crisp Orchard Air" scent to get into the fall mood.

Promising review: "Love this new offering from Scent Theory! It hides the refill and so it blends in great with my decor so I don't need to hide it." —JPS

Promising review: "This gorgeous dress fits perfectly! It looks exactly like the pictures. The quality is spot on, can't see-through it at all. Wearing it to my son's wedding!" —Walmart customer

Price: $32.99 (available in sizes S–XL and five colors)

Promising reviews: "It smells amazing. I’ve been using it for about a week, and my wavy hair looks so good. I actually have gotten several compliments!" —AshleyHalsey

"Smells great and leaves your hair nice and soft. It didn't leave my hair looking greasy at all." —Martina

Promising review: "The material is smooth and comfortable. It is wrinkle-free straight from the dryer!" —Jill

Price: $19.80+ (available in sizes S–2XL and five colors)

Promising review: "Beautiful earrings." —kimberly

Promising review: "If you're looking for a nice slipper to keep you warm during the fall and winter seasons on a budget this is your best bet! Keeping them just outside my bedroom door on our Florida sunroom where temps can dip down pretty low. The price is unbeatable and the quality is nice! They are the cutest, and will keep your feet warm all season." —Roxy

Price: $10.89 (originally $17.99+; available in women's sizes 5.5–13 and seven styles)

Promising review: "This is a very good-sized basket for the price. I was able to get four blankets inside, rolled up, and there's probably still room for another. Perfect for putting in the corner of a room or next to your couch; when someone gets cold, I can pick a blanket up. I love it. I think it's perfect!" —Misty

Price: $19.24+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack)

Promising reviews: "This lotion is heaven-sent!! I apply after showering now, and it leaves me smelling like vanilla throughout the entire day." —Abby

"One of the most underrated brands out there. Please do yourself a favor and run to get this. Every time I have this on, someone says how good it smells, and that's every day." —Gina

Price: $9.97 (also available in a two-pack or three-pack)

Promising review: "A little bit of product goes a long way. It's perfect for layering or as a stand-alone product. My skin looks radiant after applying it." —Elizabeth

(And you can make tons of fall crafts with them if they're not your ideal fall snack!)

Promising review: "Every year I look forward to Brach's Candy Corn. It is a family favorite, and everyone loves it. They are especially fresh this year, and we ate a whole bag the first day. I've tried other brands, and they just don't measure up to Brach's quality. The price is getting higher and higher, and the ounces are decreasing, but other than that, it is a fall favorite. I like the fact that they are made from honey. They are exactly as shown and as expected." —PBreitner

If I can use it, I PROMISE you can do it. This makes me look hair brilliant.

Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this. I blow my hair dry with it, and it works great. I have the big Revlon brush, which I love, but once I cut my hair, it didn't work well, so I purchased this small one. It is perfect." —Linda

"Definitely can get your roots straight. Works for naturally curly hair. I didn't need to use a flat iron." —M

This is where you find out I am a terrible friend to you, but I need you to trust me because I had some serious hair thinning around my crown three years after having my kid, and this stuff...fixed it? Like, fixed it, fixed it. I didn't take "before" photos because I was self-conscious, but you'll literally never catch me without a bottle of this again. (Bonus points: Mielle is a Black-woman-owned company!)

Promising review: "Love this hair oil! It smells great and gives your scalp a tingling, refreshing feeling. The packaging is good with the drop applicator to make sure you put just the right amount of oil directly on your scalp. Truly a must-buy product." —E Wynn

Promising review: "I am very pleased with these. They look nice and the flicker effect is very realistic of wick candles. The remote is a plus as well, as you can control them from across the room." —QuartLow

Price: $16.81+ (originally $34.99+; available in four colors)

Promising review: "Adorable color, print, fabric and style. Top notch. Bought five sets for me and gifts." —Sagk

Price: $21.98 (available in sizes XS–3X and four styles)

Promising review: "A friend of mine showed me these shoes and I ordered them online immediately! They arrived at my door less than 24 hours later! They are so cute and comfortable. Great value! They fit true to size. I am a size 8, sometimes 8.5, and the size 8 fits perfectly." —Wendy

Price: $14.98+ (available in sizes 6–11 and wide sizes)

Promising review: "Will give as a birthday gift and believe it will be a hit." —Marie

Promising review: "I've never written a review SO FAST. I have struggled to find the perfect shade for me. Everything I've bought, I've tossed or given away. This shade, Jam Session, is so perfect. I was worried it would be too dark, but it goes on so much lighter than how it looks in the container, which also means it will last me forever — I won't have to use it as much. You have no idea how thrilled I am. And at this price point? Pffft. I'll get a few more to stash here and there. For reference, my lips are typically pretty pale." —Christina

Promising review: "Thrilled that Walmart restocked these blankets again this season. Bought four of these last season and love them — soft, lightweight, generous size, and specifically the grey stone color, which is a midnight blue, very dark, neutral color. Just bought six more for another place!" —Katie

Promising review: "Stays on perfectly and doesn't flake. Makes my lashes look amazing!! My favorite part is how easy it is to take off at the end of the day. No need for pulling clumps of eyelashes out just to remove the mascara." —Darcy

Price: $13.97 (available in black and brown)

Promising review: "It's a great product! It keeps the beverage hot, and the product design is great. No negative feedback. You simply plug in the base, choose your desired temperature, or take the cup (it has a lid) on the go, as it has a warmer in the sealed bottom. It's perfect for any beverage that you want to keep hot." —MM

Promising review: "I love this little kettle! It heats up fast, looks beautiful on the counter, and keeps things super simple—no confusing buttons or fancy features I'll never use. Just one switch, clean design, and it does the job perfectly. It's compact, sleek, and feels like a small luxury in my daily routine. Highly recommend!" —Jamie

Promising review: "Cute bag!! Love the uniqueness of the color!!" —Debbie

Price: $26.55+ (available in four colors)

Promising reviews: "For several years, I've looked at and considered Bio-Oil. However, I finally took the plunge. I have scars from surgery and bug bites. I have a fair complexion, so scars show up prominently. I was amazed after only one application. After two and three applications, the scars are almost gone. I highly recommend." —MrsBlondie

"Absolutely love this product, used it for all of my pregnancies to help with stretch marks, and for acne scars, it works wonders!" —Allie

Promising review: "This has NO scent! My cats appreciate it! Haha! You need only to use very little of this. It says lotion, but it's not exactly like regular lotions. It's a thin and watery consistency. But what you think is water, is actually oil! I like anything these guys make to be honest. The stuff works wonderfully for me!" —Walmart customer

Promising review: "I do not even know where to start. Hands-down, this purse is absolutely gorgeous. Well-made. It's so soft inside; it's giving luxury on a budget." —Nae

Price: $26.99+ (originally $39.99; available in nine colors)
