Read More Something tells me you’re long overdue for this gorgeous mini toile Owala and this delectable “confetti cake” body lotion. 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: "Amazing! These puzzles are so fun. It’s nice that they start easy and get harder, so you can get used to the format first, then continue to be challenged as you learn how they work. Fun, visually appealing, and sprinkled with humor. I finished this one in about 1.5 months (of fairly dedicated work) and ordered Volume 2 before I was even done with the first one. It’s a higher price point than many puzzle books, but you get high quality for what you pay." —EN The best part?? Once you finish this version of "Murdling," you can try a whole BUNCH of other themed Murdle books — PLUS a Murdle board game! Get it from Amazon for $11.54 (and check out Volume 2 and Volume 3 if you're in the mood for more murrrrderrr). Promising review: "I have fine but thick, very straight hair. It is silky and slick, and almost every hair tie, clip, barrette, you name it, slides right out of my hair. If I put a ponytail elastic too tightly, it stays and pulls my hair and hurts. These clips are absolutely the most comfortable clips I have ever purchased, and I have bought more than you can imagine. They DO NOT slide out all day! I can't even feel it when I have one in my hair. They have a row of short teeth as well as small claws. These banana clips are just a little bit shorter, which I think looks better, and you still get the cascading sort of look, only better. I love the retro '80s look of these banana clips!" —vacuumlady Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four styles). 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 really love these tinted lip balms! They keep my lips soft and hydrated while adding a pretty hint of color. They feel lightweight and comfortable, not sticky or heavy. Perfect for everyday use when I want a little color without wearing lipstick. 💕" —Manelyn Black Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in four styles). Promising review: "SUCH a great introduction to color by numbers! Lots of cozy, peaceful scenes to pick from, and the book size is great for carrying around with you. All you need is a small packet of Artistro black acrylic markers, and you're set! They don't bleed through either, thanks to the thick, one-sided paper. It's also super fun to slowly reveal the whole picture by coloring in only the areas with the 'O.' I can't wait to work through this one and invest in more of these books! Well worth the money if you want a relaxing new hobby!" —Sabrina Promising review: "Cute water bottle! I love the color and pictures! Perfect size!" —Scarlett Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three other styles). Check out a TikTok of the Lemon Sorbet Body Oil in action. Promising review: "It’s my new favorite body oil. The smell is heavenly, and it gives off a nice shine glow. I loved it so much, I immediately purchased a bottle for my daughter." —Dh Promising review: "This lotion smells so good! It truly gives me confetti cake vibes with vanilla icing on top. I was hesitant to buy this lotion because I am usually an EOS girl, but I couldn't resist trying this confetti cake scent. I am very impressed with this lotion. It is moisturizing without feeling heavy or greasy. The formula is thick and creamy, which makes application a breeze. Jergens needs to reconsider making this a permanent scent! It has made me want to try the other Jergens scents." —amber Promising review: "Absolutely love these. I work with boilers, so I am rough with my hands and these last. Also, if I happen to pop one off, I can pop another back on in seconds. The glue is very strong, and they come off so easily with the same brand removal oil. They are so quick to put on, I get a beautiful set of nails in under 15 minutes. Great value for the money. I like the thickness as they are not bulky, but definitely not thin. The color is stunning! I have purchased about seven different sets, as well as the toenails. Highly recommend." —Lynn GUESS WHAT, they also have an entire line of NFL nails for fall!! You're welcome. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in dozens of other styles for fall and Halloween!). 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 Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Check out a TikTok of the 3D sticker book in action. Promising review: "This sticker scene was so much fun to put together and surprisingly relaxing. It kept me entertained and gave me a nice break from constantly scrolling on my phone. The stickers are cute, the scenes are enjoyable to create, and it feels rewarding to see everything come together. If you’re looking for a simple hobby that helps you unwind and stay off social media for a bit, I highly recommend giving this a try!" —Michico Check out a TikTok of the Medicube Ribbon Cherry Hairbrush in action. Promising review: "This brush is great! It's very lightweight and easy to handle. I have fine and wavy hair, and this got all my tangles out with any real effort!!" —Beck Promising review: "This mascara is amazing. I just repurchased it because I love it so dang much. It is lightweight and applies very easily. The burgundy is an absolutely stunning color and looks very natural. It doesn't clump up my lashes or make them fall like most mascaras I've tried, and my lashes look amazing. I wear it to work every day, and it still lasts me three months. I will never use another mascara." —Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in five colors). Promising review: "I adore the original Dove scent and love anything gourmand, so when I saw this, I had to grab it. It’s DELICIOUS! Not overly nutty like Eos Pistachio. This smells very clean and leans more toward warm vanilla with a hint of pistachio. It’s light, but you can smell it. My boyfriend loves how this smells too, and kept smelling me after the shower lol. Might have to grab another bottle." —K Promising review: "More beautiful than the photos show, if that's possible. I appreciate that it's reversible, as the two distinct colors make it seem like a totally different blanket. It's well constructed, soft, and warm enough to use to sleep with." —Fair Mona Get it from Amazon for $39.22+ (available in five sizes and 20 styles). Each set has a sample size of Moroccanoil Treatment, Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, All-in-One Leave-in Conditioner, Mending Infusion, and Shower Gel. Promising review: "I bought this set to see what all the hype was about, and I'm so glad I did! Every product smells amazing without being overpowering, and my hair felt noticeably softer, shinier, and much less frizzy after just a few uses. The travel sizes are perfect for vacations, the gym, or trying the line before committing to full-size products. Everything feels high quality, and a little goes a long way. This would also make a great gift. I'll definitely be purchasing the full-size versions of my favorites!" —Mary 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 Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles and two sizes). Promising review: "These cookies exceeded my expectations. They have the perfect texture — crispy on the outside with a creamy Nutella filling inside that tastes just like the original spread. Perfect for pairing with coffee or as a sweet treat. The package comes with 20 cookies, and they all arrived in great condition, none broken. Definitely a great choice for Nutella lovers. I’ll be buying them again!" —Angie CZ Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $5.17. Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Promising review: "Love this hand sanitizer. I take it with me everywhere I go. Beautiful scents. Super fast drying time. Leaves my hands soft and smooth. Non-stickiness is the most important. A+++." —KD I am a huge fan of Touchland and have been using their products for YEARS. I love that they don't smell at all like alcohol, so I don't feel bad using them in public, and that they never dry out my hands. But the leakproof bit is the real win for me. I can't tell you how many "lEaKpRoOf!!" hand sanis have exploded in my bag, but never, ever, ever has a Touchland version spilled a drop. And trust me when I say I am a chaos goblin who switches tote bags every day and knocks them around the floor with zero respect or decorum. Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in five varieties, including the new Cotton Candy scent!). Promising review: "Garlic truffle salt is great! Just used once so far and found it enhanced my eggs with a small amount and didn’t become oversalty." —Beverly Clark Check out a TikTok of the butter squishy in action. Promising review: "I was surprised by the quality of this anti-stress toy in the shape of a butter stick. The material is very soft to the touch and returns to its original shape after being squeezed several times. It is ideal for relaxing, entertaining during moments of stress, or simply as a fun toy for children and adults." —Adry Gaytan Get a set of 60 from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in a two-pack and in gold). I'm not going to lie, the primary reason I love this water bottle is that it is simply the cutest darn thing my eyes have ever beheld. But I've also found it to be super handy! I take it back and forth in my giant bag full of work stuff, gym stuff, and daycare stuff for my son that I carry each day, so I can attest how leakproof it is — that thing has been rolling around in absolute chaos and never lost a drop of water. I use this at the gym and appreciate how quickly and easily the top opens, too. And the open "chug lid" design versus the draw design a lot of water bottles have is great if you are BIG THIRSTY like I usually am when I use this! Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in six colors and three sizes). Promising review: "I love how this game is compact and in a tin can. You can bring it with you for quick game nights with friends or play solo while taking breaks at work. Easy to understand, set up, and pack up. Art is cute and playful. Good if you are looking for a quick appetizer for your game night." —Margaret V-B You can shop more Disney and Pixar Scrub Daddy collabs here! Promising review: "The best eyeshadow palette I’ve ever had! Never in my 42 years have I experimented with one quite like this and really loved the result. It’s highly pigmented, blends well, and looks gorgeous. Made me feel like a real makeup artist 😻 and for the price, you can’t beat it. Just buy it!" —kitty m Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in 27 other palettes). Promising review: "It is so cute. Lego always impresses me with its quality of builds. I have the blue and yellow plant friends; it’s fun to have the matching pair of green and pink. It was a quick build. I like having it on my coffee table for guests or myself to fidget with, because they both rock — one goes side to side, and the other is front/back." —Julie Promising review: "I have to wear my hair up for work. These are great to dress up a simple pony! The colors are exactly as shown and go with a variety of outfits. The quality is top-notch." —SunnyStyle Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as single ties and in smaller sizes). Promising review: "This dust is the best seasoning in the world. I use it on everything. I actually use this to season pork, don’t knock it ’til you try it. It’s really good to put on ribs. You can put it on waffles. You can put it on cereal, you can put it on oatmeal, you name it." —Sarah N. Donnie You can check out Vaseline's radiant body oils and lotions for more options! 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 Check out a TikTok of the under-eye brightener in action. Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I love the larger roller ball, the cooling effect, and the instant depuffing of my eyes. Will definitely keep on hand!" —TRISTA T. Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in a steel or rose quartz rollerball). The kit comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel. Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross), and what a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" —slb m Psst — you can snag a Bob Ross color-by-number coloring book on Amazon, too! 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 Promising review: "I need every color, not gonna lie. Very soft and buttery, hugs the body nicely, cute, and can be styled in many ways. Very comfortable and weightless." —Gina "Worth it!!!! I have a pair of actual Skims, which are annoyingly expensive, and these are the exact same quality, if not better." —Rachel Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and seven styles). Promising review: "I love this so much! The smell is heavenly and the feel of it on my skin makes me feel so pampered!" —Alisha Psst — parents really love this as a "calm down" moment for their kiddos! Promising review: "This little cloud guy is adorable and squishy! His face is very sweet, and the color morphing is great. I really like it’s calming, and even if you don’t use it for meditation, it’s a cute night-light." —RgHound Promising review: "I bought the Dolly Parton Days of the Week kitchen towel set as a gift, and it was an absolute hit! The towels are very well made, with soft, durable fabric and bright, colorful designs that perfectly capture Dolly’s joyful spirit. Each day of the week features a different fun design, and the whole set just brings so much charm. It’s both practical and full of personality — a gift that’s as useful as it is adorable. If you’re looking for something thoughtful, unique, and guaranteed to bring a smile, this towel set is a great choice. I’ll definitely be ordering another set for myself!" —Megan Montgomery And check out more options on the Dolly Parton storefront on Amazon! * If You Haven’t Treated Yourself In Awhile, Allow Me To Lightly Bully You Into Buying One Of These 47 Cool Products * It's Been A Heck Of A Week, So Check Out These 37 Little Treats To Gift Yourself * Newer Products All Shameless Homebodies Will Want Immediately * Delightfully Dreary Things That'll Let You Channel Your Inner Wednesday Addams * If Halloween Is Your Middle Name, You’ll Want These 36 Products * If You Did Everything On Your To-Do List, Celebrate The Win With One Of These 31 Treats Plus, finds from Amazon, Anthropologie, the Disney Store, Free People, Goldbelly, Macy's, Nordstrom, Quince, and Uncommon Goods.
