I am a contributor who has been writing for Buzzfeed Shopping for five years by finding fashion, beauty, and home products to help you ~romanticize~ your life.

Upon the recommendation of a friend, I tried this product, and after the first use, I wasn't blown away, but as I continued to use this, I fell in love with this product. So much so that I quite literally chased down the gift set in 2021, and I am so glad I did. At home, I think I have at least five different flavors of these, and I use them EVERY SINGLE DAY. I never thought a lip mask would actually change my life, but this one did and I cannot live without it.

Promising review: "Wow! This sleeping mask is amazing. It hydrated my bottom chapped lip within 24 hours. This is the only product that I’ve found thus far that is so quick-acting. I prefer nonscented lip balms, but this one smells delish. I enjoy it. I’m very happy with this product and would highly recommend it. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to try it." —E. Jackson

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in nine flavors and sets).

I recently tried this product for the first time and since I picked it up, I've never put it down. I love how to makes my lips feel. Like it actually feels hydrating and moisturizing. 10/10 would recommend. 

Natalie Brown, a Senior Editor on the BuzzFeed Shopping team, is a big fan of the product and has been using it since 2020. You can read Natalie's in-depth Lanolips review here. 

Promising review: "I love this thing! I’ve been battling chapped lips my entire life until I heard someone talking about lanolin/lanolips as a holy grail lip product. I’ve tried authentic lanolin but lanolips just smells so much better and really masks the smell of natural lanolin. Only complaint is the tubes are a tad pricy and I wish I could buy in bulk at a discount, but honestly they do last a while so it’s 100% worth the money." —Daria

Get it from Amazon for $9.45+ (available in nine scents). 

Promising review: "This is hands-down the best face oil I've ever used. It makes my skin glowy, and foundation goes over it like a dream. The fragrance — I love how it smells, but I can see how some people might be put off by it. I will always buy this oil. I have to hide it from my boyfriend because he also likes to put it on his beard."—Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $34+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "I am a long-time fan of Coola products, and this is no exception!!! This one in particular is SO beautiful and the perfect amount of 'glow.' Products I’ve used from other brands for a 'glow/dewy finish' don’t have SPF, so this is absolutely perfect. It’s great to wear alone, great with makeup, and fantastic for mature skin. And it smells nice. Coola — please don’t change or discontinue this one! It’s perfection!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $36+ (available in two styles). 

Promising reviews: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little so the salt texture was visible, scrubbed it all over my face so there was plenty of product, then used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for sensitive-skin sufferers like me." —LuckLocust

"I got the blackhead scrubber & I really like it. It smells really good, but it’s scent is not overpowering. It works really well & my face feels SO clean! I’d definitely buy it again." —Cosmic Alchemy

Get it from Amazon for $13+ (also available in a pack of two). 

I've been using this for years, and it's one of my favorite hacks for glowy skin. I love using this as a primer for my beauty routine during warmer months (it looks kind of like the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter on your skin). Reviewer shared that it is a similar product to the Drunk Elephant glow drops. 

Promising review: "This is a great product that I will definitely be purchasing again. It is light, smells great, and goes on your skin super well. It does not feel like a heavy cakey product, and it makes your face look smooth, glowy, and bouncy. 11/10 will be getting again." —Skylar Sandin

Get it from Amazon for $14.21+ (available in two sizes, five shades, and multipacks). 

Promising review: "I have very oily, sensitive skin and do not like to try new products because I will break out, but I got a sample for my Sephora birthday gift last year, and let me tell you, I have re-ordered this several times, even bought the big refill bag. I love this cleanser, it smells so good without being chemically and it actually makes my skin feel clean, and I have noticed my skin has gotten so much clearer since I started using this! My skincare routine consists of just this cleanser and the moisturizer, and it's doing wonders!!!" —maria fonseca

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes, multipacks, and refills). 

Promising review: "This stuff is really amazing! Ever since I started using it, it has helped me with these crazy outbreaks I have been having! I'm 42 (gonna be 43 tomorrow), never had issues with pimples before in my life, but the last year I have been getting pimples galore! I started using this product about two months ago, and boom, all clear again! So it not only moisturizes, it smells fantastic and works some serious magic on my skin! I bought a second one to keep in my boat bag, and I plan to buy one for my sister and mother as well. This is now a staple in my routine, please don't ever discontinue this product E.l.f.!!" —sa

Promising review: "WHAT EVEN IS THIIISSSS??!?😭😍 girl JUST GET IT! it feels SO soft, not sticky at all like you would expect a gloss to be. It smells soo good and strong, and it gives your lips such a pretty color even when you wipe the shine/gloss off. 10 out of 10!" —Cass

Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in 25 scents/colors and multipacks). 

Promising review: "I used this stuff for a few months before I decided to write a review. This stuff is magic. My skin looks healthy and refreshed. I'm almost finished with this incredible-smelling skin magic! Wow, I said magic twice. It's that good." — Cheri @ KCBR

Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in three sizes and sets). 

Promising review: "I love this product so much! I use it in the evening to clean my face. It’s so incredibly refreshing and smells great! It never leaves a film or residue on my skin. I feel like my face is clean!!! Will repurchase as needed." —Amy E Mathias

Promising review: "My favorite powder to use at a finishing powder! The smell is unbelievable and reminds me of summer. I just love it every time I go to use it. I use the light color, and brush it over my entire face. It definitely takes the shine away and gives a finished look. I have gone through four of these. Would highly recommend." —Joe L.

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in eight shades). 

Promising review: "Wonderful cleanser! I've been using it for a week. No skin irritation, no any other issue. It's true that with less than a dollop, you can wash your whole face. The smell is great, and when I'm done, my face feels refreshed. I will definitely keep using it!" —Glaribel Pinero

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six styles). 

Promising review: "Melts into your skin like butter, absorbs like a DREAM and the glow is imminent. It moisturizes without being heavy or greasy. The smell is DIVINE. It will ALWAYS have a place in my skincare regime." —Macie Lanay

Get it from Amazon for $58+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "This serum spray has now become an everyday essential for me. It is so lightweight, refreshing, and moisturizing for the skin, and smells so good. I will spray this on my face with or without makeup. On light makeup days, I will wear it over my makeup just to seal it in, and it does a really good job of smoothing it out and making my makeup seamless. I will also sometimes use it as an under base before I put on makeup, and it honestly acts as a great primer! I have now gone through two bottles of this, and it lasts so long that you only need a couple of sprays. For reference, I have the definition of combination skin. This spray does not irritate my skin at all. It does not make it oily and keeps it nice and hydrated. Such a wonderful product!" —V

Get it from Amazon for $16.50+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "I love this stuff so much! First of all it smells amazing. There's little bits of yuzu peel in the product, I love that it just makes it feel so much fresher. It makes my skin immediately feel refreshed and soothed, and I can just feel it moisturizing and tightening my skin once I put it on. I love it and will be buying more! Plus, it's a great price for the amount you get. And the best part, you get a tiny spoon/spatula with it to get the stuff out and on your skin!"—Octavia Viralaine

Get it from Amazon for $24.90+ (available in two sizes).  

Promising review: "The absolute best! I was a huge fan of Elta MD UV Clear (tinted and original formulas). This has about as much tint as the Elta tinted. It’s perfectly light, hydrating, non-greasy, and skin beautifying. No white cast, it feels like a moisturizer, plays nicely with other products, and the light scent is dreamy. It’s clean and protects at the beach. 10/10." —Mama to Max 

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in three sizes). 

I just started using this, and I can already get the hype. This smells like a cozy sweater with a touch of vanilla. It's a bit thick but blends into your skin easily and smoothly. I've been enjoying playing around with it! My body feels soft and smooth the day after use. 

Promising review: "This is hands-down my favorite lotion I’ve ever used. The Vanilla Cashmere scent smells absolutely amazing without being overpowering, and it lasts for hours. The lotion itself is thick and creamy, but it doesn’t just sit on top of your skin like some heavier lotions do. It absorbs beautifully and leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and moisturized without any greasy feeling. A little goes a long way, and the softness lasts all day. I love this lotion so much that I bought the body wash too, and I’m already looking for a travel-size version to keep in my purse. If you love a warm, cozy scent and want a lotion that actually works, this one is a winner!" —Tj

Get a bottle from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in eight scents and in multipacks). 

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I have PCOS, and every so often, I get ingrown hairs, and it takes forever to heal up; it gets embarrassing. This item is small, and I do mean small...BUT you really do not need to use a whole lot. So yes, it is pricey for the size, but I think it is worth it! It smells good, and it cleared up my ingrown hair on my chin very fast! Will purchase again! Has been the only thing that has worked for me! Oh! And it makes the hair softer, and when I tried to use tweezers to pull out some of the hair, it just glided out!" —Natasha

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three sizes). 

Promising review: "I’ve tried a lot of deodorants over the years, and this is one of the few I keep coming back to. It works really well, keeps me feeling fresh throughout the day, and I don’t find myself needing to reapply. The scent is clean without being overpowering, and it’s been gentle enough on my skin, too. I’ve had this on Subscribe & Save for a while now, which is probably the best review I can give because I’m quick to switch products if they stop working for me. This one has stayed consistent and does what I need it to do. Overall, definitely worth trying if you want something reliable that actually holds up throughout the day. It’s become a staple for me."  —Jenna Tschanz

Get it from Amazon for $9.10+ (also available in multipacks). 

This is one of my favorite products of all time. I cannot go without having one of these in my collection! They have so many scents, so I rotate them seasonally. These have become part of my Sunday Everything Shower. I love how these exfoliate your skin while also smelling incredible. They always make my skin look and feel refreshed. 

Promising review: "Love this scrub! Wish I could get it in a bigger container. It cleans, exfoliates, smooths, and leaves your skin feeling as if you went to a spa! I have purchased several Tree Hut scrubs and will continue to purchase more. Try it, you’ll be obsessed!" —Amy E Mathias

Get it from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in 33 scents and in two-packs). 

Promising review: "AWESOMENESS!!! This smells so good and goes on smooth. Not sticky. I love the applicator. It doesnt effect my eczema on my ankle either. I love this stuff. I'll be buying more once this runs out. I even put it under my arms after I get waxed." —Taryn H.

Get it from Amazon for $19.80+ (available in two sizes and three scents/formulas). 

Promising review: "I tried the Orange Gelee SPF 30 gel for the first time on a recent vacation to Florida. I was looking for something that smelled good and actually worked. I was NOT disappointed. I am fair-skinned, so I have to be careful. The gel smelled amazing, almost made me look a little tan going on (but not orange once blended in), and worked like a charm to keep my skin safe. I was out one day for about an hour and a half, got just a hint of tan, which was perfect for me. This will be my new go-to sunscreen, esp for beach/outdoor activities. Great for drier skin too." —numbercruncher

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in three styles and multipacks). 

Promising review: "Ariana Grande never misses with her products, that's for sure. This foundation is…dare I say, perfect? I mean, it's SKINCARE INFUSED!!!!! It's light, buildable, the coverage is astonishing, and it smells good. The packaging is so cute, too! I will be buying this forever."  —Hannah B.

Get it from Ulta for $35 (available in 57 shades). 

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this hair oil! It is seriously soo good! I absolutely love the smell. It's not too overpowering. Smells strong as I am applying it, but I am left with a more subtle scent and love when I catch a whiff of it! I put a dropper or two in my hands, rub my hands together, then apply to the mids and ends of my hair, not the roots! I've been using this nightly and have noticed my ends are looking better, and my hair feels softer. Definitely give this hair oil a try if you've been thinking of trying it!" —Kristin Mellin

Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes). 

Promising review: "This mask smells really nice and works from the very first use. My hair felt instantly softer, smoother, and more nourished. You only need a small amount for great results, which makes it last longer. It restores and hydrates without weighing the hair down — definitely a must-have in my routine!" —Prolisok

I found out about this brand because Suho of Exo was the brand ambassador (and I'm a huge fan of his). So, I decided to give this product a go, and I really like it. It makes my skin look and feel clean while removing any makeup. It's also super lightweight and deffo go be heavy in rotation.

Promising review: "I bought my first bottle somewhere else, it was on sale, and I thought I’d try a cleansing oil. For years I tried to get rid of oil and would never have thought an oil would clean my skin (I’m from the Noxzema and sea breeze era). The first time I used it, I loved it. It felt so nice and silky on my skin, it removed my eye make up easily and rinsed off leaving my skin feeling clean and soft and not oily! And it smells wonderful. I am on my second bottle and plan to continue using it for as long as they keep making it. I use two pumps per wash. The bottle lasts a long time." —northernmommy
