Time to clout chase some holiday-themed Laneige and some buttery soft Skims lookalikes.

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.

You can use this for your face and neck, or even use it on your under-eyes to de-puff and help prevent dark circles! 

Promising review: "The holy grail. Caved because I saw this on TikTok. I am SO impressed, literally my first time using and the results are surreal. Incredible product!!!! Literally Botox in a bottle. My skin is smooth, soft, and so glowy on top of the wrinkle-reducing effect." —Jenny Skinner

Check out a TikTok of the Trendy Queen tops in action. 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this white long-sleeve top! The material is soft, stretchy, and super comfortable to wear all day. It has a [good] fit without feeling too tight, and the fabric moves with you. This top pairs perfectly with a cute skirt or your favorite jeans, making it a great staple for fall. I especially love how versatile it is — you can dress it up or down with ease. The simple, clean look makes layering effortless, whether you're adding a jacket or a scarf." —Caroline

Price: $6.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–3XL and 43 colors)

Promising review: "The mascara and the bristles on the brush are top tier! I love this mascara! It’s the perfect consistency, no clumping, buildable, and no flaking. The brush/bristles are sturdy and create the perfect lashes. This mascara gives great length, definition, and bold color. All day wear, and it doesn’t damage your lashes when it comes to washing off or using makeup remover at the end of the day. Nice-sized tube as well. I will definitely buy this mascara again. A bit pricey but totally worth it." —Megan Y 

Price: $28 (available in black and brown) 

Promising review: "I bought these a few days before a trip to Rome, and they ended up being the perfect white sneaker for a European vacation. They check all the boxes: they're stylish, easy to wipe clean, lightweight, and comfortable. I'm very picky about shoes because I am a heavy walker. I typically only wear ~very~ cushiony shoes like New Balance Fresh Foam X More, Oofos, and Taos. These are more cushion-y than your average sneaker, and I comfortably walked around 20,000 steps per day. They required no break-in period, and I never developed a single blister (even though I skipped socks one day). If you're looking for a cute, cushiony, travel-friendly white sneaker that can handle long days of walking, I highly recommend these!" —Dani Escobar

Price: $64.99+ (available in women's sizes 4–12 with wide options in select versions, plus 29 styles) 

Promising review: "I get pimples/clogged pores on my head, especially from products I use; the bumps are SUPER painful to the touch, which makes it even worse. After ONE use, just one use, the bumps on my head do NOT hurt like they were prior to using it. My scalp feels amazing, my hair feels amazing, overall, it just feels clean, legitimately clean! I’m honestly amazed at how well this worked and how quickly! One wash did all that?! The shampoo has a thicker consistency, so it stays still even when showering. I highly recommend this, especially if you’re struggling with clogged pores/pimples on your head or in your hairline!" —Loren J. 

I am in LOVE with this new gingerbread version!!! It smells SO cozy and has the perfect blend of sweet with a hint of warm spice. It's such a treat to put it on at the end of the day and go to bed tasting like a whole holiday. My lips are always kind of raw and dry by the end of the night (the fact that I salt half my desserts probably doesn't help), but I get instant relief from this the same way I do with all Laneige Lip Sleep Masks, and my lips feel nice and hydrated in the morning. 

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 who 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: "This eyeliner is unreal. Black eyeliner is a big part of my signature look, and I've been using the Smashbox gel eyeliner pencil for at least 10 years, and I thought it was the best. I am a complete convert. It's much less expensive, goes on like butter, is super SUPER pigmented, and doesn't budge even the slightest bit. I'm thrilled!" —Julie

Promising review: "I own three pairs of these leggings in different colors and will likely buy more. They are so comfortable and are just the right weight for me. I wear my leggings as a base layer in colder months and with longer shirts in warmer months. They are not lined and are not made of a super-thick material, but are instead buttery soft and lightweight. The pockets are perfect for my lip balm and phone." —H. Roberts

Price: $7.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4X and dozens of styles) 

Check out a TikTok of the firming body oil in action. 

Promising review: "I was buying the Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum oil at a whopping $52... This is a very good alternative! The smell is nice (but not the same as the Bum Bum), however, the results are the same and a fraction of the price for double the amount. This will be my new subscription!" —Blaze G.

Promising review: "I am someone who needs full coverage, so finding a wireless option that actually lifts without digging in is rare. The cups are lightweight and molded, giving a natural lift. The sides come up higher, which helps with shaping and keeps everything in place. The fabric is SO soft and breathable. It also has a unique back design with a lot of hooks, and that makes it feel very secure. When I saw the back, I thought it might feel bulky, but it lies flat and smooths the whole back area. It also stays invisible under clothes." —Connie Gonzalez

Price: $19.99 (available in two colors and women's sizes S–4X, or 30C—46DDD/F; check the size chart on the product page for your best fit) 

Promising review: "I have been looking for an azelaic acid product that works for my skin because I heard it does wonders for redness. Well, this product was the answer to my prayers. Holy grail. Will never allow myself to run out. It is light on the skin and easy to layer other products on top without feeling heavy. It has minimized my facial redness from acne marks and rosacea irritation. While also hydrating my skin instead of irritating it further." —Kimberly B. 

Promising review: "Every Month Is Oktoberfest is exactly like the original! Love it so much! Always dry fast with a glossy coat!" —beesnacks

"In the bottle, the polish looks dark red, but on, it's a gorgeous dark purple! I have both my finger and toenails done with this. It will especially be a wonderful fall and winter color." —Amy Anderson

Price: $11.99 (available in nine other new OPI fall shades!) 

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

Price: $13.98 (available in four styles and two other finishes). 

Promising review: "I really love this body lotion! The vanilla scent smells warm and sweet without being too overwhelming. It goes on smoothly, absorbs nicely, and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. The travel size is also convenient to carry in my bag. Definitely a great lotion for everyday use!" —Evelyn Tinopicin

Psst — you can get the travel-sized body wash, too! 

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

Price: $6.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–4XL and dozens of colors) 

Check out a TikTok of the Retinal Skin Booster in action. 

Promising review: "Almost two weeks and my skin has been doing great! I replaced my AHA toner from Paula’s Choice with this and found that it has been more gentle and made my skin glow immediately the next morning. I still like my AHA toner, but this really helped with my pores and skin texture. I used tretinoin before, and I found that it was harder to spread. The consistency of this formula made it so easy to spread on my face and neck! Not to mention the price is a steal! Loving this product so much! I am acne-prone (hormonal acne around the jaw) with combination skin (very oily and very dry), and this really helped even out everything." —T. 

Promising review: "I've had these for two years, and they are the absolute best! Never felt heat or moisture through them, literally put them in a pot of boiling water to grab a jar, and my hands didn't get wet or hot! Can grab my cast-iron pan from a 500-degree oven and not feel the heat. The silicone helps with gripping items so they don't slip out of your hands, and is very flexible. I have the Milkshake Tan color, and they still look brand new, no discoloration, ripping, or staining at all from daily use, just wipe clean and occasionally scrub with dish soap." —luvbigdogs

Promising review: "I bought this in charcoal and lost it on a trip, so I bought the exact color again because I missed it so much. Now I'm back to buy it in more colors. It is thick (because it's a watch cap), but I wear it year-round in Dallas or Chicago. The fit is snug to the point that I can sling it back without it falling off, and it fits over my afro or straight hair the same, and doesn't lose its stretch after washing. This is my favorite hat." —CE

Price: $19.99+ (available in 35 colors) — psst, you can also snag this in matching baby, toddler, and youth sizes for the whole fam!!! 

Promising review: "Even after only the first use, I was blown away by this primer. I honestly didn't think a primer could do what this one does. It went on very smoothly and didn't feel greasy whatsoever. All during my super-long day at work (12-hour shift), my makeup didn't budge and my face looked so smooth and satiny under my makeup. I have moderate to severe acne so my skin is generally fairly oily, but it's also been very dry lately, and this primer made it so my makeup didn't crease at all or cling to dry patches on my skin. I can't emphasize enough how surprised I was every time I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see how smooth my makeup still looked." —MMkay13

Check out a TikTok of the Downy Unstopables in action. 

Promising review: "This brand and scent are hard to find in big box stores, but were easy and convenient to buy online. The bottle is large and can handle many loads! I not only use it for my laundry to smell amazing, but I also found ways to use it as a scent in the house. Has value for the money as it is a larger bottle. Leaves clothes smelling clean for a long time and makes them feel soft. Overall, I’d recommend it and can understand why this product and scent are a huge hit!" —Kassi Kayeeeee

Price: $15.97 (available in seven other scents)  

Check out a TikTok of the moisturizer in action. 

I have had on and off dry patches on my face for *checks watch* my whole life, which I just accepted as a consequence of being a human in their thirties who spends a lot of time outdoors in cold weather. It took like two seconds for my (SPECTACULAR) dermatologist to assess the situation and recommend this. The dry patches around my mouth and eyes were gone within two days of using this. It absorbs so quickly into the skin that I was almost scared it wasn't doing anything, but the long-term results are undeniable. My skin is softer, and I was able to cut out the expensive niacinamide and exfoliant I was using, making this one of the most cost-effective skincare moves of my life. For context, I am not wearing any makeup in the above shot aside from my beloved $7 tubing mascara, because this evens my skin out enough that I feel like I don't need foundation anymore. I am so grateful my dermatologist recommended this to me, and I only wish I'd gone to see her about it much sooner! 

Price: $24.99 (available with SPF and in various sizes) 

Check out a TikTok of the Ugg Whitecap Blanket in action. 

Promising review: "Buy it for life! Seriously, these are probably three to four times thicker than your average fleece blanket. They're heavy in a good way, soft on both sides, and so warm and cozy. These are worth every penny! These should last you ten to twenty years, I bet. Color is great, washing is easy, obviously very durable, and high-quality. I don't write reviews about blankets, but this one deserved a review. I'm so impressed with these." —J

Price: $108 (available in three colors and also in Twin-King sizes for beds!)

Promising review: "I got this for my school social work office, and it's been a hit from day one. Kids are always reaching for it when they come in, and it's popular with my K–1 students, as well as coworkers! It's a fun way to keep hands busy while we talk, and I've noticed it helps some students relax and settle in. It's simple, well-made, and has held up really well with lots of use. The key — it is easy to clean! This has definitely become one of the favorite fidgets in my office. If you work with kids or just want a fun sensory activity, I'd definitely recommend it." —kwb

Price: $24.99 (available in three styles and two sizes) 

Promising review: "I’ve used this setting spray a few times now and I absolutely love it. It really helps my makeup stay in place all day without needing touch-ups, even in heat or humidity. The mist is super fine and dries quickly without feeling sticky or heavy on the skin. It sets everything beautifully without ruining your makeup or leaving any residue. I also love that it doesn’t have a strong scent. If you want your makeup to last and still feel comfortable, this is a great choice. Definitely a new favorite in my routine!" —YSantiago

Promising review: "I already love it. The scent is deep and musky, and fills the room quickly without being too strong. Lit it this morning, and it’s been perfect so far. The lid is solid and makes it feel like a high-quality product, not some cheap throwaway. Flame is nice and large. Quiet crackle and no smoke. The jar looks good on the table, and the wick burns evenly. It says 110 hours of burn time, so I’ll see if it lasts that long, but I’m betting it will. If you want a candle that smells great and feels worth it, this one’s perfect!" —MyHonestReviews

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in different sizes). 

Promising review: "I recently tried this pimple patch and it’s incredible! It’s truly invisible, blends seamlessly with my skin, and works wonders. It hides pimples effectively and starts working within hours, clearing them up in no time (usually within eight hours). Plus, it leaves no redness or scars behind! This product is a must-have for anyone dealing with breakouts. Highly recommended!" —Robeir Edward Sarofeem

Price: $7.97 for a pack of 24 (available in larger packs and three styles) 

Promising review: "This Advent calendar is a really fun twist on the traditional countdown to Christmas. Instead of just opening a small treat each day, you get a new puzzle or clue that helps move the mystery story forward. The puzzles are creative and feel similar to an escape room experience, making them engaging for families or small groups. It’s a great activity to do together during the holiday season. Each day reveals a new part of the story and another challenge to solve, which keeps things interesting throughout the month. The difficulty level feels appropriate for older kids and adults working together. Overall, this is a unique and entertaining Advent calendar that combines puzzles, storytelling, and holiday fun." —Skywalker

Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bed head that looked like this! Now it is gorgeous soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These jeans are amazing, don't hesitate to buy! Love the cinch waist. Thin material, which is nice if you live somewhere that's hot year round." —DD

Price: $50.97 (available in women's sizes 24–34 and eight denims) 

Promising review: "Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump has quickly become one of my favorite lip products. It gives my lips a fuller, smoother look with a beautiful, glossy finish without feeling overly sticky. The plumping effect is noticeable but comfortable, with just a light tingling sensation instead of the intense burn that some plumping products have. I also love how moisturizing it is. My lips stay soft and hydrated for hours, and the color is gorgeous enough to wear on its own or over lipstick. It's the perfect combination of lip care, shine, and a natural-looking plump. I find myself reaching for it every day and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, effective lip plumper." —Jill E. 

Here's what BuzzFeeder Chelsea Stuart has to say about it: "I wear very little makeup — especially on vacation — but there's something about doing my brows that makes me feel more put together. I went on a 12-day trip to the UK, Croatia, Montenegro, and Spain, and traveled carry-on only, so I really had to pare down my toiletries — especially as the airports I traveled through made us condense all of our liquids into a single quart-size bag. This stuff is TINY but does the absolute most! I wouldn't say I have particularly thin or thick brows, but this really zhuzhed them up with next to no effort."

Promising review: "The Boy Brow from Glossier was my ride or die eyebrow product for years, but the tubes are so small and they raised the price so I could no longer justify it. This brow glue is the closest thing I’ve found to it and it’s half the price! Will definitely repurchase." —Alex

Price: $9.97+ (available in five shades, including clear, and in multipacks/bundles). 

Promising review: "I’m 55 and post-menopausal. If you’re in that same boat, then I don’t have to explain what all that means! This moisturizer is a dream come true. I use it day and night. In just a few weeks, you can see the visible difference in my skin. It’s beautifully hydrated and glowy! It’s reducing the appearance of my fine lines, and has improved elasticity. I like the way it smells ... it kind of smells like tea. It’s pricier than some, but a lot cheaper than others. And I’ve found that a little bit of moisturizer goes a long way with this stuff. It feels luxurious on my skin, and I truly feel pampered!" —Rene Lightner

Promising review: "I’ve tried several setting sprays over the years, but this one truly stands out. It keeps my makeup looking fresh and flawless all day, even through heat and humidity. The mist is fine and even, and it doesn’t leave any sticky or heavy residue. I also love that it doesn’t have a strong scent, just a light, refreshing feel. Whether I’m going for a natural look or full glam, this setting spray locks everything in place perfectly. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants their makeup to last all day without touch-ups." —Cindia Rojas
