1. Slingback heels you'll have no choice but to strut your stuff in — they're *that* high fashion but without the splurgy price tag. These look just as fancy as the Chanel pair but won't inflict permanent damage on your bank account.
Promising review: "Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either.
The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" — shinyliberty Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in six colors).

f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter for enhancing your natural glow without succumbing to Charlotte Tilbury's famous Flawless Filter — your bank account will thank you. It can be mixed with your foundation or moisturizer OR you can apply it as a highlighter.
Either way, you'll be shining bright like a diamond. 💎 It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and squalene for a boost of hydration! Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I’ve gone through three bottles . Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes I use it under foundation and sometimes I use it solo with a bit of concealer.
I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" — mapagill "If you like Charlotte Tilbury, flawless filter this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it, you will be happy you did!" — Amazonreview Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in 12 shades).
3. A dreamy midi corset dress when you need that go-to flowy number so you can happily prance around in fields of wildflowers, knowing you saved over a hundred bucks. No seriously, the House of CB version retails for a staggering $225.
👀 Check it out on TikTok . Promising reviews: "Bought this dress because I always wanted to get the House of CB dress but didn’t want to pay over $250 for it. It’s honestly so good! I got the size large in this since they didn’t have my normal sizes, which are small to medium (I have a bigger chest so I tend to size up).
But since this has a corset back, I was able to cinch it up really tight and it fit perfectly!" — Chris Herfurth Kennedy "Beautiful stunning perfection. This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The corset in the back makes it fit like it was made for me.
It's double-lined and not see-through at all even though it's white. The straps are adjustable, the slit is a good height, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. I cannot say enough good things about it.
It did come slightly wrinkly in the skirt, but nothing that a good steam won't fix." — Shoshanna Get it from Amazon for $53.99 (available in women's sizes 0–14 and in 17 colors/styles).
4. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings your friends won't stop asking about until you spill the deets. Whether you choose to tell them you snagged these babies for mere dollars in comparison to the pricey Bottega Veneta ones is up to you.
Promising review: "These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet.
Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $9.
99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra large size). 5. Some internet-famous Mellanni sheets that'll make it hard for you to get out of bed in the best way .
It'll also be hard to believe they don't cost hundreds of dollars given the wonderfully soft moisture-wicking microfiber fabric. Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed.
These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well.
Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle . And even after months of use, they are still in great shape.
They haven’t started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" — Susan "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable.
We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed.
Well, he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas! " — Sheree Chrestman Get a set of queen sheets from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king, plus sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses and 45 colors/patterns).
6. And these silky satin pillowcases so your bedroom will look and feel more luxurious for a fraction of the price of high-end brands like Blissy . These have a cooling effect that's sooo soft on the skin.
It also creates less friction for your hair. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says: "This is my go-to satin pillowcase. I have two Slip pillowcases, and several of these, and actually the Bedsure ones wash up much nicer and retain an incredibly silky smooth feel after dozens of trips through the laundry.
They're the only ones I'll buy going forward, and I recommended them to my mom and now she's in love with them too!" Promising review: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn’t frizzy or dull looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.
99+ (available in five sizes and 39 colors). 7. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress reviewers are totally obsessed with because it's cute, comfy, and most importantly, it's comparable to Skims , which makes it an absolute steal for the price! Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down.
Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size.
So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." — Kaitlyn "I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but read reviews and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose.
If you want a snatched look definitely get a size smaller as it is very stretchy . I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother while Skims has a ribbed texture.
You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me! " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 10 colors).
8. And this scoop neck top — it feels just as buttery-smooth as the cult-fave Skims top and has the same fitted look to boot. This one is *much* cheaper and comes in a variety of colors.
Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $14.
99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 29 colors). 9. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion to give you a natural glow with minimal effort *and* spending, which makes them a great alternative to the pricey Drunk Elephant Bronzi Drops .
It adds a lightweight color tint to your complexion for a dewy glow-up that can be worn alone or with foundation. Promising reviews: "I used this with my Olay Regenerist Cream (it helps with my wrinkles). I mixed it, and it does a great deal of shine! You should buy it if you're looking for a Drunk Elephant Bronzi Drops substitute! Way better than Drunk Elephant.
" — raegan kuball "I actually like this glowy lotion better than the drunk Elephant one, and I have both. This goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It leaves you very glowy with a beautiful tan and works well with makeup on top if you so wish.
Lasting power, too. Recommend." — ggvega Get it from Amazon for $13.
98+ (available in five shades and as a two-pack). 10. A gorgeous laptop tote bag with high-end vibes you'll probably want to carry everywhere — even when you don't need your computer.
It can fit laptops up to 15.6 inches and other essentials, like your phone, makeup bag, iPad, and more! You'll also breathe a sigh of relief knowing you didn't splurge over $100 on the pricey Béis Work Tote . Promising reviews: "It’s much more spacious than it looks.
It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects .
Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su " Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney.
She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers." — J Cliett Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in nine styles).
11. Oversize square sunnies so you can leave everyone guessing about which designer made your stylish shades! Little do they know you're about to own 'em in every color. 😎 These have a bit of Bottega energy but a much more reasonable price tag.
Plus, they have polarized lenses and UV protection! Promising review: "I found these because a girl on TikTok was wearing them. The quality is amazing. Not cheap material.
Good shape. I love them. Totally worth the price.
I’ll probably end up getting another pair to keep in my car." — Alisa Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 14 lens colors).
12. A faux-leather belt that'll add the perfect finishing touch to just about any outfit you come up with — for a lot less $$$ than the Gucci version! Even the most casual looks (think distressed denim and crop tops) can be taken up a notch with this trendy accessory. Promising review: "This is my favorite belt! It's perfect with jeans, and I get so many compliments on it.
I love that the double-ring is sort of designer-inspired, but not a complete knockoff of the Gucci belt. I highly recommend! I am typically a medium and the medium was perfect." — Everyday Teacher Style Get it from Amazon for $14.
99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 10 colors). 13. A game-changing cropped tank , which may look familiar because it's the thrifty version of the Lululemon Align tank! It's perfect for lounging, exercising, and everything in between.
Wear it solo or as a base layer depending on what you're getting into. Promising review: "I was looking for a Lululemon Align tank [alternative] and this is it! I’m honestly surprised this top hasn’t gotten more attention because it is such a gem!! I love activewear and I’m very impressed by the quality of this top for the price. The fabric is so soft stretchy and opaque yet sleek enough where it won’t pill.
I’m 5’6 and this top hits me right above my waist so I can comfortably wear high-waisted leggings/pants without a ton of midriff being exposed. There is a lot of structure to the top which aids in providing medium support and functionality to the top even without adjustable straps. I’m hoping the straps won’t stretch out but the bra band inside is tight yet comfortable.
Even the foam cups are nice! Because of the design, I’m not sure how this top would perform for bigger cup sizes as I do have a bit of side boob. Nothing I can’t adjust but I can see this being an issue for larger chested girls. I am just so in love with the sweetheart neckline and sleek silhouette and I’m very pleased with this purchase😁 This is a great staple piece for anyone who’s ballin on a budget .
Do not hesitate to buy this top!" — Allie Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 14.
A pair of comfy clogs that'll make you say "Birkenstock who??" and it's easy to see why. They're similar to the beloved Birkenstock Boston Clog in all the ways that matter. The key difference? You won't have to walk around feeling ashamed about how much you paid for 'em.
Promising review: "They look just like my real Birkenstock clogs!! The shape, the buckle, the fit: They all make the clog feel legit. They are also super comfy! There is cushioning in the heel that makes them very comfortable to wear. If you are hesitant, just buy them.
This is SUCH a bargain considering how expensive real Birks are LOL." — Quinlan Hanrahan Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and in 15 colors).
15. A layered necklace set because you deserve nice things that don't completely devastate your wallet. If you live for a statement piece that also delivers shock value with the price tag, the search is over!! Promising review: "I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven’t taken them off since I received them; they still look brand new.
I’ve worn them in the shower, pools, and at the beach, and they are still perfect. " — Allison Kwong Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three finishes and 15 other styles).
16. Plus, a dazzling cubic zirconia ring you'll wear with practically every outfit because it's just that glamorous and versatile. Once this pretty little number is on your finger, you'll no longer daydream about the Cartier Love Ring that costs more than your rent.
Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal . I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well.
It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $9.
99 (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles). 17. An adjustable mini belted pack — yes , there is such a thing as a fashionable fanny pack that doesn't break the bank.
If you've been longing for the Lululemon one, this is a much cheaper (and dare I say, cuter) alternative. BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly also owns this — she packed it as her only bag for a trip to busy trip to Iceland, and not only did it hold a ton and keep her hands free, it easily fit around her waist over her outerwear. Promising review : "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it’s true, it is.
Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." — Jolie Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in 45 colors).
18. NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip because even though it may not seem possible, you can indeed upgrade your pout game without hurting your wallet! It uses vegan squalane and raspberry and cloudberry oils to hydrate your lips. Some reviewers even compare it to Dior's famous lip oil! Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more.
..and the NYX Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing .
About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It’s always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $8.
97+ (available in nine shades). 19. A set of chic cylindrical wineglasses when you wanna feel like absolute royalty without overspending.
These are just as glamorous as the Crate & Barrel version but each sip won't be a reminder of how much money you wasted. Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories. Promising review: "Crate & Barrel look for less.
These look and feel very high end — almost like a thin crystal." — Lauren Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three styles).
20. A magical eye primer to ensure your eye makeup remains intact ALL day without any smudging or creasing. It'll seem too good to be true but believe the hype — reviewers swear this stuff works just as well as (if not better) the more expensive Urban Decay and Too Faced versions.
Promising review: "I am very happy with this purchase! The primer lasted on my client for 14 hours, including 10 hours of on-camera work and running around doing interviews. Pleased as punch! This is what I needed to hear! Finding a good shadow primer is like the holy grail in the life of a makeup artist. I have used many products and wasted a lot of money and I believe I found a winner with Elizabeth Mott’s product! I am thankful and impressed!" — Miss Lilly Get it from Amazon for $13.
99 . 21. A Sol de Janeiro fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 , which may remind you of the glorious Baccarat Rouge 540 but this one won't leave you with a serious case of buyer's remorse.
This lightweight body spray contains notes of hibiscus, jasmine, and sun musk that'll make you smell ~fancy~ for less. Promising review: "I finally received my new body spray yesterday and was in complete shock at the resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 540 . This body spray is so delicious.
It is definitely a Baccarat Rouge 540 [alternative]. There were so many reviews that said how much this body spray resembled the very pricey perfume, and they were all correct. I absolutely love Baccarat Rouge 540, but it's so expensive compared to other perfumes like Chanel, so I opt not to purchase it regularly.
This body spray is a wonderful substitute for overpriced perfume. Today will be my first day wearing the spray, so hopefully, it has great longevity throughout the day as well. 🤞🏼 Regardless, I would still purchase it again moving forward.
" — Tina Get it from Amazon for $36.10+ (also available in five other scents). 22.
A trendy tote bag that may remind you of the ridiculously expensive Longchamp Le Pliage bag, but you'll do a double take when you see the significantly lower price tag! It's spacious enough for a laptop, notebook, makeup bag, and more. Plus, it even folds up into a tiny lil' triangle, just like the Longchamp one. Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I’m traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings.
I’ve always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it’s easy to clean.
It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag too which is the main reason why I got it. I’ve actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc. ) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag.
One is zipped and one isn’t. It stays on my shoulder and doesn’t slip off, unlike other bags I’ve had . I’m curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far I’m very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.
99 (available in four colors). 23. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are just as good as Lululemon's Align joggers.
Whether you're rotting on the couch or hitting the gym, you'll be comfy as heck in these. Promising review : "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper.
I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit.
I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 24 colors). 24.
A set of remote-operated flameless candles with the same enchanting effect of a real flickering flame. Ditch the fire hazard and the expensive name-brand alternatives *cough* Luminara *cough* you've spent far too much on. These require three AAA batteries per candle that will last you about 150 hours.
Promising review: "With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I've always used Luminara , which, unfortunately, devour batteries and die after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient effect.
The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!" — pandorah Get the set of three from Amazon for $25.99 (available in five colors).
25. A sparkly CZ tennis bracelet if you want to feel super luxurious without spending a fortune! Swarovski isn't exactly an option for those of us on a budget, but this is the next best thing. Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty.
It’s 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet.
I’ve heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don’t know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it’s a great buy" — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.

LilyAna Naturals eye cream so you can brighten your under-eye area and reduce dark circles with nourishing ingredients, like provitamin A, vitamins C and E, and rosehip seed oil.
We all know about the name-brand versions that can set you back a few bands, but you're too smart for that. LilyAna Naturals is a family-owned small business using natural ingredients to craft high-quality skincare products. Promising review: "I've been using this for a couple of months now and I really like it! Previously I've used Clinique or Origins.
..this works just as well or better.
I wish I had found this sooner as it is a lot less expensive than other alternatives. I've seen other reviewers say they keep it in the fridge and while I don't find that necessary I may have to try because it sounds very refreshing!" — Cat SV Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and in packs of two).
27. A gorg pair of Gucci-esque loafer mules that prove you can live like the rich and famous but in a much more resourceful way. People may ask for the receipts when you drop the price, so maybe this is that one secret you should never tell.
Promising review: "Such cute shoes that are maybe even better than the designer inspiration! I ordered a 37 and usually am a 6.5. They fit perfectly.
The footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery.
" — Emily Wilson Get it from Amazon for $55.68 (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors). 28.
A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks because why on earth would you spend $24 on a single Laneige jar when you get THREE of 'em for a fraction of the price? You'll sleep soundly knowing your lips are hydrated and your wallet is full. Promising review : " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask , but it’s soooo expensive.
This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." — Riya Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.

It also comes with two lids which is perfect for traveling!" — Andrea Benton "Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray!

I love that it slowly brightens as it gets closer to your alarm time because I feel less startled when my alarm goes off.
This is super similar to the famous Hatch alarm clock and at a much cheaper price. Would definitely purchase again and again! Saves my morning" — Skylar Faul " I had my eye on the Hatch sunrise alarm but didn’t want to spend over $100 on it. I am so glad I found this sunrise alarm clock instead! Has all the features I was looking for for a third of the price! Things I love about this product: -It’s easy to set up and use -Can have two different alarms saved -dimmable -different color options -several sound and brightness options -snooze option -looks nice The only feature I do not utilize is the FM radio.

32. Pure Instinct Roll-On , a "pheromone-infused" scent that went viral on TikTok and rightfully so. It's cheaper than the Basic Instinct option, so you're already ahead of the game.
It's made to blend with your skin's PH to create a unique scent that'll make you smell utterly irresistible. The "Original" formula has top notes of Australian mango and mandarin, heart notes of honey and cinnamon, and the base note is a well-rounded white musk. Pure Instinct is a small business established in 1985 that specializes in personal fragrances and essential oils.
Promising review: "If you love Basic Instinct by Pure Romance , you will LOVE this affordable alternative! To me it smells almost exactly the same; there is an extremely slight difference in smell that I'm sure others around me wouldn't even pick up on, and I still LOVE the smell! I love Basic Instinct, but ran out a while ago and just couldn't justify spending that much money on more. I'm so glad I found this alternative!" — MN Tigerlily Get it from Amazon for $16.95 .
33. Wireless, waterproof Bluetooth earbuds when simply hearing the price of AirPods makes your ears bleed. These come with several silicone tips so you find the best fit.
It's no wonder they have over 240,000 5-star reviews for being comfy *and* affordable. Too good to be true? I think not! These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 45 hours of total playtime (with the earbuds able to play for 10+ hours on a single charge!). I was one of those people still walking around with a cord dangling from my ears because I could never find a wireless pair that worked for me.
Enter these life-changing earbuds! I tried all the different silicone ear tips included and got *the* perfect fit. I use them for both listening to music/podcasts and talking on the phone. The sound quality is amazing and I have to charge these MAYBE once a week depending on how much I use them.
I'm never going back to AirPods...
or dangly wires. Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wish list. I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port, so I decided it was time to finally buy them.
They are amazing, and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" — Kate Arnold Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five colors). 34.

My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look.
