Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I’ve minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It’s a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —Barbie

Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: 

"I personally will live, breathe, and die by the magic of $25 'universal' Black Honey version — it lasts FOREVER and also functions as the perfect blush — but it sells out so often that I am also deeply relieved to know it has a cheap alternative in case of lip emergency!"

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have several that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn’t get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." —Hamps5

Promising review: "SO YUMMMMYYYY!!! I did not expect to like the cola, but it was soooo good. I’m obsessed and get the hype now lol." —Laura Duncan

Another psst — you can pick up a cult-fave colored pencil set on Amazon! 

Promising review: "One of my favorites ever!!! The idea is perfect, and the pages are all unique and fun to color, with no repetition, and the details aren't too tiny. Great for anxiety if you're doing coloring for mental health. (I hate the pages that are just tiny patterns repeated endlessly. Makes my anxiety worse.)" —Ezra Johnson

Promising review: "These are hilarious and will make the perfect stocking stuffer! I didn't realize they were textured with little pickle bumps until I got them. Excellent!" —Christina 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in packs of 24, 50, and 300 and 19 designs). 

Promising review: "These were too cute to pass up! They hold my place perfectly in my book. They are more rubbery than plastic, so they grip the pages well to stay in place." —Stephanie L.

Promising review: "I used these molds to create homemade Nestle Crunch bars. It was easy to load these molds. I placed them on baking sheets and banged them on the counter to remove air bubbles, then loaded into fridge/freezer. The molds are compact enough that they fit easily into my side-by-side fridge. I did not add any release agents to the molds before using, and the chocolate bars popped out very easily." —Keith G.

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

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: 

"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 $8 (available in three shades). 

Promising review: "The designs on these are utterly adorable, definitely worth the purchase, the sizes of the tabs were perfect." —Angie

Get a set of 10 designs (120 sheets per design) from Amazon for $7.92.

Promising review: "They were complete eye candy 🍬 They are beautifully smooth and perfect. The Japanese Zebra brand has never disappointed me, and I am truly grateful. 👊❤️🔥" —Junkie4fitness

Get a pack of five from Amazon for $6.70. 

Promising review: "Makes skin very glowy and elastic! I love to use The Ordinary for my skincare. I have tried several of their products, and the best things I like about them is their affordable prices and quality. This serum is thick but lightweight and absorbs fairly quickly while leaving a smooth layer on top. I use it every night before bed, and I wake up every morning with my skin feeling super soft, hydrated, and plump. This has been great for combating dry skin in the winter, and to fix my skin barrier after using exfoliating products and other harsher products. Definitely would recommend, it gives you glassy skin that you will love!" —Rina

Promising review: "As someone who loves salted caramel flavors, I wondered if the yumminess could be captured in a powdered hot cocoa. Well, I’m here to tell you, it certainly has. I set up a hot cocoa bar for Christmas with this as a choice — let’s just say it was a favorite among the group. What’s even better is that you can add the 'extras' to this and not lose the salted caramel taste. Awesome value for the price! You should definitely try it out." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I just love this nail polish! Love the color and how fast it dries. I will order again." —Georgie 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine shades). 

Promising review: "I love this hair conditioner, I LITERALLY use it every DAY! It leaves my hair so soft and my natural curls are so bouncy! I’m in need of more soon! Definitely recommend this to anyone. And it smells so good too!!!" —Wendy 

Promising review: "These are so cute! I hosted a wine tasting at my house and the coasters fit into many different wine glasses. I had about three to four fairly decent-sized chocolates on top. These were a hit and everyone thought they were in a nice restaurant with the setup!!" —Melanie M. 

Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a set of eight). 

Promising review: "I LOVE these! They’re so cute, the colors are vibrant, and they match the photo almost exactly. I love that you can switch out the scents or even use essential oils to add your own. Because of this, they should last a long time! Definitely worth the money." —Jenna Waller

Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: 

"I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry."

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Promising review: "Amazing price! Amazing hydration! I used to have an issue with my concealer creasing and looking dry and this was life-changing." —Sandra

Get it from Bando for $7.95 (available in two styles). 

Promising review: "Just got this today and I love it! I needed something that would keep my hair up, but not pull and not pull it out when I removed it, as well as something that was comfortable and safe to wear while driving. I haven’t driven with it in yet, BUT I am lying in my bed, on my iPad with my head in the pillow and am very comfortable. My new holy grail for putting my hair up. Could not be happier! My hair is long, and of moderate thickness, and it holds beautifully." —Kimberly A. 

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "I love this straw cover. It’s adorable! The color is true to what is advertised. It fits over my straw well and complements my water bottle. Highly recommend!" —Aimee Budge

Get a set of three from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in four color combos, plus larger sets).

Promising review: "I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones, since they just draw my eyes to something that’s SUPPOSED to be invisible. So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they’re SO expensive and don’t work at all. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time. So many people have complimented me, saying, 'Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it’s adorable.' These also work as an alternative to the TikTok Shop ones that are really popular right now and are cheaper! 10/10 from me :)" —evalyn evoke

Get a pack of 240 patches from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four designs/shapes as well as multipacks). 

A few reviewers with trichotillomania swear by this as a helpful alternative for picking tendencies. 

Promising review: "I have a tendency to pick at my clothes when I’m bored and have nothing else to occupy my time with. I got this toy to see if it would scratch that itch and save my clothes from my boredom. It worked much better than I thought it would. The outer layer to pluck has a soft, woolly feel, and the under layer is very soft. Some of the strands were a bit stuck and took some effort, but most came out with only a little effort. I’ll probably get some more if I know I’m going to be away from home for a while." —Terras

Get it from Amazon for $9.23 (and check out dozens of other versions on the Fluffie Stuffiez storefront). 

Promising review: "This is the cutest thing. Super mini, like three inches tall. I keep it on my desk at work when whiners come into my office, LOL." —Lulu

Reviewers say to pay attention to the measurements, because it's smaller than they assumed! 

Promising review: "Charming and elegant. This looks so expensive. I gave it to my mother for her birthday, and she was quite impressed. She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It’s the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn’t want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn’t that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" —NMW
