More Dreamlux leggings and Band-Aids from The Met for meeeeee. 😊 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. Check out a TikTok of the Medicube PDRN Collagen Volume Stick in action. Promising review (for the PDRN collagen stick): "After having my son, my under eyes looked hollow and tired no matter how much sleep I got, how much water I drank, or what concealer I used. I've been using the Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Volume Multi Balm consistently for 30 days on my under-eyes, forehead, 11 lines, and smile lines, and the difference has been remarkable. The biggest improvement has been my under-eye area. The skin looks noticeably more plump, hydrated, and smooth. Not only has the texture improved, but the loss of volume that was making me look constantly exhausted has improved significantly as well." —TutyRu18 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 Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in women's sizes 3XS–3XL and 43 colors) Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch scalp renewal brush in action. 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 that 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 Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors). 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. The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of five shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in five shades). 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 Check out a TikTok of the Tirtir Skin Glow Cushion in action. I tried this right when it came out, and I am in love with it. I am someone who does not wear foundation anymore, both because I don't have the time to apply it nicely, and also because I've never found a foundation that doesn't cake in my pores. This glided seamlessly over my pores with so little effort, and while it evened my skin tone, it looked super natural, and gave the effect of a light foundation even though it isn't. I am so excited to finally find something that I feel confident wearing and putting on in a rush!! Even hours after I applied it, I looked so glowy that when I saw myself in the mirror, I was like ooooh, okay, girl, heyyyyyyy. 😏😏😏 Get it from Amazon for $24.30 (available in 30 shades). 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 Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then I will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents and two sizes). I bought these on Prime Day, which is the only day I will buy leggings because I hate wearing leggings with a burning passion. My "I'm not like other girls" bit is that, for some reason, I am always more comfortable in jeans than leggings. BUT NOT THESE!!! They slide on. The fabric is so lightweight and breathable that it feels like a whisper. The band is so deceptively comfortable that sometimes I'm like, "Am I still wearing them??" I use them to run outdoors because that is the only circumstance I'll wear leggings, and I'm happy to report that after several washes, they are durable and compressive enough to withstand workouts. They would be excellent for lounging if I weren't wired in this odd anti-legging way. I have already bought two more pairs and made my friends buy them, too. Promising review: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, but I tried these first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson Get them from Amazon for $28 (available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). Promising review: "I bought this after seeing an ad on TikTok. I'm skeptical but I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff, but it is genuinely amazing. I tested it on all the different areas of my body. It didn’t do a thing to my well-exfoliated palm, but my face, legs, LIPS… baby soft with big balls of dead skin coming off. Like one of those Korean exfoliating gloves, but you don’t have to scrub like you do with those. You just gently rub it in, and your dead skin peels away. I even had a weird callous on my arm that keeps regrowing [and] it smoothed it down so cleanly. This stuff is truly magic. Just WOW." —Nellie 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 Get it from Amazon for $15.97 (available in seven other scents). Promising review: "This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There's no waiting time, and it's gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing." —KimT "Wow, does this work amazingly! I discovered this from a TikTok video, and I am so pleased with how this works. It is literally like magic; my feet have never been this soft." —Brian Check out a TikTok of the Sparkling Lip Duo in action. Check out a TikTok of the Shapermint jelly bra in action. Promising review: "As someone who needs full coverage, I know that 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 Get it from Amazon for $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). Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. I've been using these for awhile, and I love them! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I get a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night, and I definitely see a difference in that area in particular. This is one of our 2026 Buzzy Award winners! Check out the full list to shop all 100 picks, hand-selected by the BuzzFeed Shopping team. Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard. Those tiny bristles really get in there, and if you push too hard, you might be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." —Amy N. Check out a TikTok of the Frida Leave-In Conditioner & Detangling Mist in action! Promising review: "This product was pretty awesome. The spray left hair feeling soft and silky! Has a very nice, pleasant smell, and even when the hair dries, it still lingers a tad, but leaves hair looking shiny! Absolutely easy to use, and the locking mechanism on the top is pretty awesome! Definitely works amazingly, and I had absolutely no pulling once I sprayed, and it is 100% definitely worth the money!" —Manda Check out a TikTok of the Project Cloud platforms in action. Promising review: "After trying many pairs of sneakers, I assumed there just weren’t any comfortable, stylish sneakers out there, for me. The Project Cloud sneakers are totally the exception; not only do they look great, but they are also so comfortable. Right out of the box, they fit and felt like everything I had been looking for. I absolutely love them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for that perfect pair of sneakers." —Teresa Barton Get it from Amazon for $44.90 (available in sizes 5.5–11 and ten styles). Check out a TikTok of the serum in action. Promising review: "Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower, when my hair is still damp, I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on, and then after I blow-dry it, I put some more on, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast, and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking healthy for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein Get it from Amazon for $17.88+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas). Check out a TikTok of the Fully Pore Peptide Sebum Melting Cream in action (including the gunk literally coming out of the reviewer's pores)! Promising review: "Been using this product for a couple of weeks now and I’ve seen a massive decrease in my clogged pores! My face has also felt less greasy in general! Highly recommend!" —Henrie Check out a TikTok of the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Essentials in action. Promising review: "The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Essentials set is such a great way to try the products or keep favorites in a travel size. Everything feels super hydrating and leaves skin looking refreshed and glowy without feeling heavy. The Jet Lag products are especially nice when skin feels dry, tired, or needs extra moisture. I noticed my skin felt softer and looked more hydrated after using them. The mini sizes are also perfect for travel, your purse, or keeping in a carry-on. The packaging is cute, the products feel luxe, and a little goes a long way. Overall, a great skincare set and would definitely repurchase! ✨💙🧴" —Hallee BuzzFeed contributor Rachel Dunkel has this to say about the mask: "I have a mini tube and genuinely love tucking it into my travel bags when my skin is at its most sensitive, and a blend of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide in a silky smooth cream is just what it needs." Promising review: "Love this makeup bag so much. Saw it started kinda going viral on TikTok, and finally gave in, and I understand why! Not so bulky and love how I can see all my products once opened and laid out, but still organized! I gifted one to a friend for Christmas, and she loves it as well! My mom got herself one too, and we’re all obsessed! Totally worth it, don’t think I can go to any other kind of makeup bag again! Really sturdy too!" —Isa Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two sizes and twelve colors). Check out a TikTok of the Olay Super Body Oil in action. Promising review: "Hurry! Olay body oil is exceptional. Herbal, earthy, woody scent, slightly sweet, softer than vanilla. Subtle pistachio. After seven minutes, it sinks in. After 10 minutes, it's fully absorbed. Take time to enjoy the calming scent while your body absorbs all the goodness. Haven’t tried applying right after a shower, but I think that would help absorb faster. Absolutely love this body oil!!" —Kristi Fly By Jing is an Asian woman-owned business that specializes in sauces, dumplings, and spices. Check out TikTok of the chili crisp in action. Promising review: "Holy moly, this chili crisp oil is like magic in my mouth. There are so many flavors going on and just the right amount of Sichuan heat from the peppers. It's honestly perfection. I would say, if you're a beginner with spice, you might only want to add a teaspoonful (or less), but if you really like spice, use a heaping tablespoonful. I add it to my rice ramen noodles along with some ramen seasoning at home, and it's literally out of this world delicious. You have to try it." —Melissa D. Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in two sizes and an extra spicy version). Check out a TikTok video of the carrotene-clearing solution in action. Promising review: "MUST BUY. I will repurchase this 1,000 times. Adding this to my routine definitely helped my skin clear up. I use this day and night. It’s great for combo oily skin." —kbxo Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. This is one of our 2026 Buzzy Award winners! Check out the full list to shop all 100 picks, hand-selected by the BuzzFeed Shopping team. Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and I can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods). Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in different sizes). Dazzle Dry is a small business that specializes in nail care products. Check out a TikTok of the Dazzle Dry polish in action. See that pic of the pink-nailed hand up there?? Those are my DAY SEVEN DAZZLE DRY NAILS (after just getting back from a wildly busy trip across the country, which I did a TON of apartment cleaning to prep for!). I have been using the Dazzle Dry system in salons for years now because it is the only way to get your money's worth, even if with the salon's upcharge. My nails are SO much healthier and longer now that I've quit gels completely, and this polish is so good that it often doesn't chip for 10–14 days (and even then it's just the smallest chips). Plus, I cannot shout enough about how much I love just bouncing from the salon or my couch with my nails so dry that I never have to think about them after I get them done. Promising review: "I purchased this mini kit to try the Dazzle Dry system. I am so pleased with the results! I did my manicure 10 days ago, and it is still holding up. The Prima Ballerina color is very soft and neutral, and exactly what I was looking for. I followed all the simple instructions, and it truly was dry in five minutes (although I was a little hesitant to test it, it really was dry). I will definitely be purchasing additional colors. Highly recommend!" —Jodi S Get it from Amazon for $39 (available as a kit in dozens of colors; you can shop for colors individually at the Dazzle Dry storefront). Check out a TikTok of the 4AM Clean Sheets in action. Promising review: "A few weeks ago, I decided to try the 4AM clean sheets after seeing them in Target’s travel section. After just one use, I was hooked and quickly ordered the 30-count pack. When they say 'no rinse,' they really mean it. You just take a wipe out of its portable packaging — perfect for fitting into even a small purse or your pocket — and wipe your face clean. The feeling afterward? Soft, dewy, and refreshed, almost like you forgot you just cleaned your skin. There’s no residue, no heavy fragrance — just a lovely, natural glow. I wholeheartedly recommend keeping this handy product in your emergency beauty kit, especially if you’re always on the go. A solid 10/10!" —Accidental Mompreneur Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out, and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer Check out a TikTok of the Monday Dry Shampoo in action. Promising review: "I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It's affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable." —Meg B. Here's what former BuzzFeeder Heather Braga has to say about it: "From the first time I tried this dry shampoo, I've been a fan. The scent is light, not overpowering at all, and it really does a great job absorbing the grease from my hair. I'm a mom of two and, honestly, am spread pretty thin, so I don't always have time to give my hair the deep cleansing it deserves (and needs, oops). After spraying this throughout my hair, brushing it out, and styling it, my hair looks totally revived! I can't wait to try out the brunette version next." Check out a TikTok of the sunrise alarm clock in action. Promising review: "Very nice sound and light, and easy to operate. I love the light settings that look like flames dancing. Bluetooth sounds good too! The sunrise feature works well and actually makes waking up easier." —Nathan Check out a TikTok of the Prepara Salad Pod in action. Promising review: "An awesome invention. I take salads daily to work, and it’s so convenient. Also the dressing at the top makes mixing salad so easy." —Adrienne Williams I will scream this thing's virtues on every corner of this earth. I used this on an eight-day international trip. It fit a veritable arsenal of products — all of my skincare, makeup, hair supplies, toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant were wedged in the different pockets, and still compacted easily and went right into my carry-on backpack. It made setting up at the hotel a two-second process of hanging it up and having all my products instantly accessible to me and easy to put away. I cannot imagine traveling without it, especially now that I've used it on a multi-city trip where it was so handy to fold back up and take through several hotels. At one point, I forgot to properly close a lotion, and it exploded a bit, and the bag was super easy to clean from the inside! Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two sizes and 12 colors). Promising review (for photos above): "These photos were taken just FOUR days apart after using this product two times a day. I heard about this product on TikTok, and am SO happy I gave it a try. I am now on my second tube. It is soothing and lightweight, and I will continue to purchase this product again and again!" —Jenna Shaner Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in several sizes). Check out a TikTok of the Olaplex Shape Set Hairspray in action. Promising review: "I took a chance on this hairspray because I love all the other Olaplex products. It’s pricey, which is why I hesitated to buy it, but it delivers on its promise. My hair held its style for days without feeling 'hair-sprayed' and has a very pleasant scent." —Kitt Z. Check out a TikTok of the mini projector in action. Promising review: "I absolutely love this mini projector! It’s compact, easy to set up, and the picture quality is surprisingly impressive for such a small device. The portability is a huge plus — I can easily move it from room to room or take it with me when traveling. The Roku interface makes streaming incredibly convenient, and everything works smoothly. Great quality, great size, and excellent value for the price. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a portable projector!" —Sebastian Each set has a sample size of Moroccanoil Treatment, Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner, All-in-One Leave-in Conditioner, Mending Infusion, and Shower Gel. Check out a TikTok of the Moroccanoil Mini Must-Haves set. 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 Check out a TikTok of the Anker charger in action. Promising review: "I have trusted Anker products for years, and this purchase was no exception. The charger is compact, and charges fairly quickly — even while charging an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods simultaneously. The MagSafe feature is very convenient and also makes it easy to position your phone so that you can easily see it if you use your phone for an alarm. But the small footprint and reliable charging are its best features (for me). Have tried many other multi-charging stations and this has been the best one so far." —William G.
