In all my years of existence, I was never able to tame my naturally curly hair into a sleek, silky, frizz-free look, until now. I l don't know what kind of magical sorcery went into making this product, but this stuff is amazing. — Lillee45 "It's not just a TikTok fad, it really works!

There is no scent and the texture is exactly what I’d like out of a serum — slightly thick but still easy to spread on the face and neck." — A J Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four other formulas and a multipack).
4. A tube of the cult-favorite Essence Lash Princess Mascara so good, people will ask you "are those your lashes?" This mascara def brings as much drama as Cathy did on Dance Moms . Promising review : "First Swipe: The Sorcery Begins I delicately applied the mascara, chanting ancient incantations under my breath.
The wand glided through my lashes like a broomstick on a moonlit night. Suddenly, my lashes elongated, defying the laws of physics. 🌈 Second Swipe: Rainbow Realness The second coat was where things got wild.
As the wand swept through my lashes, they shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow. I gasped. Was this mascara made from crushed fairy wings ? My lashes sparkled like a disco ball at Studio 54.
I half-expected a tiny leprechaun to pop out and offer me a pot of gold. 🌟 🌪️ Third Swipe: Tornado Lashes By the third swipe, my lashes had reached tornado status. They spun faster than a DJ at Coachella.
Birds circled overhead, mistaking my eyes for a vortex to another dimension. 🔥 Fourth Swipe: Fiery Drama I hesitated, but went for it. The fourth coat was like setting my lashes on fire (in a good way).
I strutted around my room, feeling like Maleficent’s chic cousin. 🔥 🌟 Final Verdict: This isn’t just makeup; it’s a portal to fantastical realms. Wear it to your next Zoom meeting and watch your colleagues wonder if you’ve been studying dark magic during lunch breaks.
Plus, it’s waterproof — I tested it by crying during a rerun of The Notebook and my lashes remained unscathed. 💧" — Firecrotch Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack and in two colors).
5. Tatcha's Dewy Skin moisturizer to help replenish and plump dry skin. Packed with Japanese purple rice (aka anthocyanin), this stuff will have you looking like a beautifully glazed Krispy Kreme donut.
Okay, maybe not *thaaaaat* shiny, but this'll seriously leave your skin hydrated and ✨glowy✨, that's for damn sure! Promising review: "I’m a bit of a long time skincare collector, so I’m a tough critic. I am 46-years-old with sensitive skin which can be prone to acne and redness. This product is magic and is quickly becoming my holy grail.
It provides intense soothing and moisturizing with a beautiful dewy look. I cannot say enough about this. My only gripe is I wish it came in a pump as not to have to scoop the cream out.
" — momoutwest 🌲 Get it from Amazon for $23+ (available in two sizes). 6. A mattifying, waterproof On Til' Dawn One/Size setting spray that Beyoncé used at her Renaissance concert in the pouring rain at her DC show.
And Queen B's face was still beat 👏 to 👏 the 👏 GODS 👏 through the downpour. Yeah, this stuff has witchcraft in it for sure, sign me up. One/Size is a queer- and Filipino-owned business founded by makeup expert Patrick Starr to ensure that makeup is really one size fits all, as it should be.
OMGGGG, let me collect my thoughts, I am shooketh. I *finally* got my hands on this about a month ago (it's always sold out!) and all I can say it is sorcery. Patrick Starr is a witch, there's no convincing me otherwise.
I did my makeup one morning, set my face with this, and had a full on day — ran errands, went to Trader Joe's, went to a bar, then a restaurant, sweat, and I kid you not, every time I looked in the mirror my face was M👏 A👏 T👏 T👏 E. When I got home that night, my face had not moved at all and there was literally no oil to be found on my face. I have expensive setting sprays I love but by the end of the night, I usually have a bit of shine on my face, which seems like no big deal but as an oily girly, I hate that, I look greasy.
But this stuff is a magical holy grail, no shine formed against me shall prosper. I see why Beyoncé uses this. I kept hearing the hype around this but it is a bit pricey so I kept putting off buying it.
This is worth every bit of hype and every single penny. And I'm frugal! I will find a nice, affordable alternative and run with it forever because some big name-brand products do not work for me and I hate spending a lot of $$ for 💩 results. If I recommend any name-brand product, it'd be this.
I love this stuff and I will forever eat that price and buy this now. Big fan. Get it from Sephora for $17+ (available in two sizes).
7. A hydrating eye stick to help reduce dark circles, lines, and puffiness while delivering moisture without oils. Sensitive skin friends, this one's for us.
People may start to think your goldfish are Cosmo and Wanda because these results are jaw dropping. It's from a Korean-owned biz! Promising review: "I HAD to write a review. I use this in the morning and night after my whole face routine and putting on moisturizer.
I don't have dark bags however, my under-eyes do get a bit puffy and I was noticing fine lines. DUDE, those fine lines are fading. Last night I went to a party and woke up looking like the crypt keeper, and this stuff normalized my creepy zombie eyes in about 20 minutes.
It's $9. Do yourself a favor and buy it." — Jasmine Deatherage Get it from Amazon for $9.
99+ (available in two styles and in multipacks). 8. A *Cécred* moisture sealing lotion — the haircare line created by Beyoncé herself so your hair can be as ~flawless~ as can be.
If you wanna fight frizz, lock in moisture, and seal split ends without any silicones, then this is the product you need. Use it to define your luscious curls or use it before styling — Queen B uses it before straightening her gorgeous hair! And yes it's in my cart because I saw Beyonce using the moisture sealing lotion so I'm buying the moisture sealing lotion. She is my Cady Heron/ Regina George so if she wears army pants and flip flops then so do I.
Promising reviews: " This product slays humidity !!!! We live in Florida where humidity is king. This is the first product I’ve used that actually made a difference. I used this line on my daughter and this is my second favorite product.
It’s amazing for dry styling. I used this in combination with the oil and loved the results!!" — Nikina M. "I have 3C hair and have really enjoyed using this product when I'm rocking my hair naturally.
I spray my hair with a little bit of water, add a small amount of this to my hair, and I can literally see my curls come to life ! It works well when I blow out and flat iron my hair too, I add this and my heat protectant and my hair comes out so smooth and soft! I also use it as an edge control since it does have some hold to it, very versatile product. And a little of the product goes a LONG way!" — Marie G. Get it from Cécred for $38 .
9. A Patrick Ta body glow balm that'll have people thinking you're lying about being human cuz with a glow like that, you gotta be a mystical magical fairy orrrr a Cullen. Just imagine how AMAZING you'll look this summer when the sun kisses your collar bone and you begin to shine like that crab in Moana.
Beach trips, rooftop lunches, THE IG PICS?! Yep, a summer must have. It also comes with a handy lil' brush for easy application. Check it out on TikTok *and* check out the body oil version ! Plus, it's from a Vietnamese-American-owned biz! Promising review: " TikTok has influenced me to purchase a lot and this has to be one of my absolute favorites !! It’s a beautiful, glossy glow and not greasy at all ! I like using a Beauty Blender to apply it to the face and a brush for the body.
If this is in your cart, do yourself a favor and buy it now!!" — GalacticSam Get it from Sephora for $50 (available in two shades). 10. A Cosrx snail mucin serum to help improve skin hydration and soothe damaged skin.
Yep, snail mucin is a Korean skincare product made from snail slime. Sounds ick but your skin will totally fall in love the second you use it. Hmm, wonder if this is why SpongeBob had Gary the pet snail — skincare benefits.
*All Cosrx products are dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, and have no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. Corsx is also a Korean skincare brand. Alright friends, I am here to confirm that the hype surrounding this stuff is SO real.
I've had acne since I was literally 8 years old (don't ask, my cousin was a face painter and practiced on me so I broke out BAD) and I'm JUST now starting to get it together. My skin this past year has completely changed, I have gotten super serious about my skincare routine, and I am now ✨ pimple-free ✨ . Now, I am grateful that my skin has cleared up, but it was still kinda dull, uneven, ya know, the little nitpicky stuff.
That is until I cracked and bought this little potion. My skin is now ra-di-anttttt! It's never looked better. My only regret is not taking before and after pics but glass skin, I know her.
I haven't gone out in public without makeup since I was like 12 because I was so insecure about my skin. Now, chiiiilld, I go out all the time free of makeup . I also bought this for my cousin for Christmas, she's obsessed, a friend slept over and I let them use this, they're now obsessed, I guarantee you'll fall in love after your first use.
Promising review: "This is a great product. It’s not sticky and has no smell. It's my favorite product to use with any other skincare product.
Very gentle and helps with acne. Will be a regular in my skincare routine." — C Get it from Amazon for $13.
20 . 11. An Elizavecca carbonated clay mask that bubbles up until you look like Raven did when she had that allergic reaction on That's So Raven .
But not only is it fun and a good laugh, it also helps clear your pores and get rid of those super irritating blackheads. Elizavecca is a Korean beauty brand! Promising review: "I've been buying this mask for a little over a year now and can verify that it is totally worth the hype. I have relatively dry skin, but while I never had acne when I was younger, I quit hormonal birth control a few years ago and since then have started breaking out shortly after ovulation.
I tried many more expensive masks, but I also have very sensitive skin, and previous products either left me itchy and irritated or had no effect. This mask has completely cured all of my skin problems . If I remember to put it on the night I think I've ovulated, I have zero zits, and if I forget and some start to show up, I do the mask and the zits have significantly retreated by the next morning.
I only need to use it a few times a month so it takes me several months to go through a jar. I would pay four times more for this product if I had to !" — carof Check out our full review of Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask . Get it from Amazon for $9.
20 . 12. An Ogx leave-in conditioning cream to apply to your towel-dried hair for a magic trick.

It's the one hair product I have to have. I rotate shampoos and conditioners but have never found anything to put on damp hair that I like as much as this.
It says it's for curls, but works great on straight hair, too ." — Bunco Queen of the Universe Get it from Amazon for $7.97 .
13. Mane Club One Hit Wonder — a 10-in-1 spray that LITERALLY does it all, but won't cost you the price of 10 products. Like, you know how the witches in AHS: Coven had to pass all of the Seven Wonders tests to become the Supreme? Yeah, this stuff is the Fiona Goode of hair products.
It'll detangle, take care of frizz and split ends, and provide heat protection (up to 445 degrees). The formula contains ~cannabis sativa seed oil~, which works to moisturize and hydrate without adding a bunch of weight. Mane Club is a California-based small biz that specializes in cruelty-free, vegan haircare products.

The smell is also divine. Will be my new holy grail ." — Shannon Jaffee Get it from Amazon for $9.

Promising review: "So let me start by saying, I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available.
From high-end to low — Mac , Lorac , Urban Decay ...
they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. I use this primer, and my shadow lasts a full eight hours or more.
I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands, if I'm lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" — Melissa Mae Get it from Amazon for $13.
99 . 15. And an Elizabeth Mott face primer — a K-beauty pore-minimizing miracle to help control your oily skin and keep you shine-free.
Lock in your look with this bad boy and avoid having your makeup move and shift around. And later, at the end of your day, when you see how good your makeup *still* looks, you'll seriously be thanking this stuff. Promising review: "I wore this primer under my foundation ( Nars and Maybelline Fit Me ) along with setting spray ( Nyx ) in this photo [above right].
I had been dunked in the pool two times and went down a giant slide that caused you to go under water three times. This was the result of my makeup ! Love this product. A little goes a long way!" — Ryan Brooks Get it from Amazon for $19.
05 (available in five styles). 16. A Ouidad heat and humidity gel you'll want when humidity comes knockin' so you can close that door, lock it, and keep it away from your luscious locks.
Keep your curls shiny, hydrated and free from frizz no matter the climate with this little bottle of magic. This product is suitable for all curl types! Promising review: "I live in Florida, and the humidity is awful. I have naturally curly hair and after a couple of hours outside, my hair is nothing but frizz.
I used this for the first time yesterday and I really wish I'd found this sooner! My curls stayed defined after hours outside, with the breeze blowing! By the end of the night there was some frizz but this product reduced it by 75%–80%. Even this morning it is less frizzy than just a few hours without it. I will be buying again!" — Amanda Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes).
17. Nars soft matte foundation — the best thing to ever happen to oily skin. This stuff is shine-, transfer-, and sweat-proof, will last up to 16 hours, contains *top notch* oil absorbing powers, I mean ~powders~, and is OXIDIZATION-RESISTANT!! Witches really did their thing with this.
About two weeks ago, I had a rough day which meant I was gonna treat myself cuz one thing ima always do is give myself princess treatment. So I filled my Sephora cart with beauty products I'd been dying to try. I knew I wanted a new foundation cuz all the high-end ones I love are great but they have their flaws.
If it keeps me matte, it oxidizes, if it doesn't oxidize, I'm oily by the end of the day, and some even oxidize and leave me oily. I went to good ol' TikTok to see what people with oily skin were using and I found a lot of people who worked at Sephora saying they loved this foundation for oily skin. And since TikTok recommendations haven't failed me yet, I threw this in the cart.
I didn't have super high expectations but I was excited to try. I used this then sprayed with my One/Size setting spray and holy crap, I found the miracle combo. I always forget to take pics but the gif above is me at 7 p.
m. after having my makeup on literally all day. I did not blot once.
For me, that is unheard of. My skin doesn't get dewy, it gets as oily as Five Guys fries and it's so annoying. I've never had a foundation work this well and do everything it says it'll do.
This is hands down the absolute best foundation I've used for my oily skin and I've tried everything from Estée Lauder to Lancôme and this Nars foundation ateeeeeeee and didn't leave a single crumb. This is now at the top of my list. An oily-skinned person's dream come true, really .
Get it from Sephora for $42 (available in 27 shades). 18. And Nars radiant creamy concealer because a buildable, lightweight, long-lasting (up to 16 hours) concealer sounds like the ultimate makeup dream.
Your under-eyes will be nice and bright even on those days where you only get, like, four hours of sleep. Plus it has magnolia bark and grape seed extracts to help cover acne and calm redness, so likeee, what more could you need outta this little baby? Take a look at it on TikTok . HuffPost Shopping writer Haley Zovickian is a fan of this concealer and says this: "I have used this concealer for YEARS and truly do not have enough good things to say about it.
I have dark under-eye circles and hormonal, often cystic acne that I like to conceal with makeup, but at the same time, I don't like the feeling of heavy products on my face, which is often what's recommended for skin like mine. This concealer covers up my blemishes no matter how angry they may be and brightens my skin while still feeling lightweight and like my skin can breathe. Plus, it lasts all day! I can't recommend this product enough and I'll be using it for as many years as Nars makes it!" Promising review: "This is my holy grail.
This is the only concealer I have ever used for two years! It blends seamlessly into the skin and works if you have no blemishes or if you do have acne . I can’t recommend it enough." — sesh2death Get it from Sephora for $32+ (available in 28 shades and two sizes) or Amazon for $19.

Plus it'll give you a cute, subtle pop of color and nourish your dry, flaky lips. This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. It also comes from a Korean-owned brand! Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used.
Usually I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger, it's a teeny bottle.
Would definitely buy again!!" — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $12 (available in 14 shades and in multipacks). 20. A Nyx brow glue to keep your brows in place and help you achieve that fluffy laminated look.

Now doesn't that just sound lovely? Promising reviews: "This product is amazing. I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. This is literally the only product I've come across that actually works overnight! It's better than any acne patches or serums.
I highly recommend!" — Diana Elizabeth Nunez " This product is a MAGIC ERASER on acne . This is the only product that works on my acne. It dried up my hormonal acne within one night! So I have mild hormonal acne due to menstrual cycle, but after using this gel every night and following the directions in the package, it has really helped me get rid of acne and dark spots .
This product did not break me out in initial use or even later. This one tube lasted me for a couple of months and a few days over. I love the results, and I will buy another tube if my acne acts up again but for now I have clean and clear skin.
Thanks Differin!" — KARTHICK RAVI Get it from Amazon for $14.49+ (available in two styles, three sizes, and in a two-pack). 22.

Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there’s not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.
)" — Claire Blanchard "I hardly write reviews...
but this one deserves to be written about!! My hair was falling out a LOT, and somehow just with the FIRST application onwards, I started seeing less fall. And now, after four months, I can see hair growth as well, and my hair is already looking thicker!! And I’ve been using it only once a week..

Before you totally ditch your new piercing, let this stuff help heal and reduce the size of your keloid! I know, I know, I get 'em too and yes, they can be terrifying to look at. This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed.
Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic . Oh! BTW, I bought this. Last year I got a dermal piercing on my chest and since literally just about every piercing I've ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too.
I got the piercing in February of 2023 and around May I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I had written about this stuff a few times so the light bulb went off and I immediately bought it. I consistently used it twice a day and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic within a month.
Keloids are a serious nightmare and I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I even *accidentally* ripped it out in November and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming cuz I just knew it'd get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada.
You do have to be patient and consistent, this is NOT an overnight miracle but it's worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for like another week or two even after your keloid goes away juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life. I haven't had issues with my piercing since and no more have grown.

Promising review: "I’ve been using this for 19 days now, twice daily. I really love that my skin isn’t dry or tight after cleansing and it doesn’t burn any open acne sores either! I do believe it has helped balance my skin as I have had constant acne for eight years now ! My breakouts have lessened and the ones I had when I started using this have been slowly healing and fading. I’ve been using this along with the Some By Mi toner and that has really made the difference! I wish I would’ve known about Korean skincare products earlier! Highly recommend this for any acne sufferers!" — TootTootMcBumberSnazzle Get it from Amazon for $13.

Promising review: "I’ve loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1–2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis.

One word: sorcery. Promising review: "Love it! The product smells fantastic and is easy to apply.
I have fairly long hair and one bottle was more than enough. I had previously balayaged my hair about six months ago and the color took very well to the highlights we put in. It came out darker where my natural brown is and much brighter (pinkish burgundy) where it was previously bleached.
