1. A scoop neck top reviewers love because it has the same buttery feel and fit as a popular Skims top. The only huge difference is the number of colors that this one comes in! 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 $9.99+ (available in 29 colors and women's sizes XXS–3XL).
2. A midi corset dress that'll make your cottagecore heart flutter and have you feeling like a modern-day princess. It looks just like the House of CB Carmen dress that was trending on TikTok (and goes for $225!?) and even has the same features, like a back cinch and front tie.
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 17 colors/styles and women's sizes 0–14).
3. L'Oreal's Lumi Glotion — this illuminating moisturizer enhances your skin's natural glow with its shimmering color tint, so you can achieve that ~sun-kissed~ look without having to roast in the heat for hours. Reviewers say it's just like the Drunk Elephant bronzing drops — and maybe even better! Promising review: "This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
I apply after moisturizer and makeup, highlighting under my eyes and brow bones. Not too sparkly, just makes me look like I’ve had enough coffee. Seems to last through hot and sweaty Florida days, so that’s a plus.
I’ve tried other luminizers, and for me they are usually too sparkly or weirdly colored. I tried an $$ Glossier one that remained strangely sticky the whole time it was on my skin. I will purchase again!" — DLW Get it from Amazon for $13.
98 (available in five shades). 4. An expensive-looking faux-leather belt to tie your entire outfit together.
The golden accent will turn your 'fit into a ~masterpiece~. Is it Gucci? No. Is it an affordable lookalike that does the same thing? Absolutely.
Promising review: "These are awesome! They are good quality, function just as belts should, and oh my gosh, they are so cute! I originally purchased one for my daughter — she gets compliments on it all the time and it is constantly mistaken for a Gucci belt. I have since ordered one in another color for her and one for me. Very happy customer!" — Glacier girl Get it from Amazon for $14.
99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 10 colors). 5. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip that delivers up to 12 hours of hydration (it's infused with vegan squalane, raspberry, and cloudberry oils) while giving you a glossy, tinted look — we love a 2-in-1! If you love Dior's Lip Oil or have been wanting to try it, reviewers say this is even better (for your lips AND wallet).
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 lip gloss. It’s always awesome to find a less expensive [alternative] for the high-end products I like.
" — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in eight shades). 6.
A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers perfect for lounging around, running errands...
basically any casual activity because they're just that comfy. They feature two pockets to store your phone, wallet, and keys, and reviewers can't help but compare them to Lululemon's Align joggers. 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–XXL and 22 colors).
7. LivaClean Superstar pimple patches that are so cute, you might not even be that mad at the next pimple you get since you'll have an excuse to put one of these bad boys on. They look just like Starface patches but for a fraction of the price — and reviewers say these work way better for shrinking blemishes and helping them heal! Promising review : "I LOVE the look of pimple patches on myself (as weird as that sounds) and absolutely hate the semi-clear ones, since they just draw my eyes to something that’s SUPPOSED to be invisible.
So I easily fell in love with the Starface pimple patches — but the issue with those is they’re SO expensive and don’t work at all. THESE, however, have immediately sucked everything out of my face. I love them and literally wear them all the time.
So many people have complimented me, saying, 'Oh my gosh, I love how you just wear stickers on your face; it’s adorable.' These also work as [an alternative to] the TikTok Shop ones that are really popular right now and are cheaper! 10/10 from me :)" — evalyn evoke Get a pack of 240 patches from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four designs/shapes as well as a six-pack).
8. Or a pack of 40 acne patches (an affordable alternative to Mighty Patch ) so you can tackle that pesky pimple head on. These discreet patches help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them while the hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside — so they can actually heal faster! They're great for daytime or overnight use.
BTW, these work *best* on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic ! Promising review: "I ordered these on a whim after a long day of isolation and internet browsing and because I have a terrible habit of picking at spots on my face and making them into something much much worse. These magical spots are life-changing!!! Put them on before bed (or before work) on clean skin and FORGET about them.
You don't notice they're there — unless you go to pick at something and then YOU STOP!! Leave them in place for at least six hours and then peel them off. They come off easily (but not so easy that they come off while sleeping) and the amount of 'bleck' they suck out is amazing!!! So a spot that was going to erupt into Mount Vesuvius ends up being NOTHING!!!! I've purchased six packages and will keep buying them. An amazing value!" — Jennifer Nothdurft Get a 40-pack from Amazon for $8.
49 and an eight-pack of the large patches for $8.99 . 9.
A spandex-blend slip maxi dress because wouldn't it be nice to look dressy but stay comfy at the same time? Thanks to this Skims lookalike, you can! Reviewers *love* how the material is just as soft as that brand's, and some even say it's better! 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). 10. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings that look almost the same as the Bottega Veneta ones, minus the $$$ — both are even gold-plated.
Even though they look quite heavy, reviewers say they're super lightweight and don't affect their sensitive ears! Wear these all day, every day, and know that you look like an absolute ~ICON~. 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). 11.
Cult-fave E.l.f.
Poreless Putty primer smoothly glides onto your skin and blurs your pores, giving you the perfect base layer for your makeup to grip onto. Its squalane formula keeps your skin hydrated while looking matte, and reviewers find it *quite* similar to Tatcha's Silk Canvas primer and other big name brands — without the $$$. Promising review: "Okay so first nothing will make you 'poreless' but this stuff is amazing.
Will even out fine lines and help with super porous areas; my T-zone [has really visible] pores and this definitely gave me a boost in confidence. I would highly recommend. Especially to those not to familiar with makeup, this is a game changer.
Honestly it works better than my $30 primer from Urban Decay and lasts all day. I am oily so I usually blot some powder on later in the day but if you have dry skin this could be the ultimate game changer!" — Olivia Get it from Amazon for $10 . 12.
Double buckle waterproof sandals , so comfy that reviewers even call them ~BirkenCrocs~ because they feel like a combination of the two. The straps are adjustable so you can tailor the fit to your liking and wear 'em snug or loose. Plus, they're waterproof so you can step in puddles or lounge by the pool without damaging them! Promising review: "For what I paid for these shoes, I did not expect much beyond the fun style.
Instead, I’m pretty sure I just found my favorite summer shoe! These are super comfy and pretty darn cute too! They sort of feel like the materials that Crocs are made of, and look just like the Birkenstock shoe of the same materia l, except with no name printed on the side. (I prefer the look of the sandal without the name, personally.) I feel like it would fit any width foot thanks to the adjustable strap.
There is support in the middle of the foot all the way across, not just in the arch. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and I expect this will actually help that. But mostly it’s just a super soft waterproof shoe that will go everywhere with me except maybe a formal dinner! Then again, if the dress were long enough, I might even consider sneaking them in.
.. LOL.
Buy the shoe, you won’t regret it." — Nicole M. Get them from Amazon for $22.
99+ (available in many colors and women's sizes 6–11). 13. Or a pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals if you love the look of the Mayari Birks but aren't the biggest fan of the price.
These bbs have the exact same strap design and 100% genuine suede soles, so you'll be able to walk around 24/7 and stay as comfy as possible. Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a shot.
..and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned.
I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." — Han Lin Get them from Amazon for $28.
49 (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles). 14. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks , notably very similar to the Laneige ones (but much more budget-friendly).
Each mask nourishes, hydrates, and smooths out your lips overnight, thanks to the berry extract and vitamin C formula — and you get three flavors to try in one set! Your pout will look so supple, it'll leave even Angelina Jolie jealous. For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams for the entire set. So even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! Promising review : " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in 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 it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six combos). 15.
Or a soothing (and also Laneige-similar) Jelly Lip Melt that looks like those delicious Jell-O cups we had as kids — ah, the nostalgia. It'll add some gloss to your lips and leave 'em feeling hydrated and plump all day long. Promising review: "If you like the Laneige lip sleeping mask, then get this.
In my opinion, this lip melt works even better and stays on my lips way longer! Whenever I used the Laneige mask before bed, I would always wake up feeling like it had all rubbed off and my lips would feel a little dry, but also kinda sticky somehow. With this lip melt, I wake up still feeling like I have the product on my lips, and they feel smooth and hydrated. I also prefer the texture of this lip melt more, and a little product also goes a long way.
" — Caimish Get it from Amazon for $6+ (available in 11 flavors). 16. A bodycon jumpsuit with flared bottoms that'll make you look like an influencer off-duty.
It's perfect for a low-impact workout or any casual outing, and also veryyy similar to the Aritzia Butter jumpsuit for a fraction of the price — no one would ever know the difference. Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this jumpsuit deserves one!! It is an exact alternative for the Aritzia flared jumpsuit. I actually even like this one more than my one from Aritzia!! The length on this is SO much better.
I am 5’7 and the Aritzia one just barely goes past my ankles...
I am wearing platform sandals with this one and there’s still extra length! Also I am 28 weeks pregnant and a small fits my bump, SO stretchy!! Definitely ordering more colors." — Stuart W. Get it from Amazon for $26.
99+ (available in 13 colors, women's sizes S–XL, and either a 29" or 31" inseam). 17. Nyx Brow Glue to sculpt your arches so you can craft your desired shape, volume, and texture.
From natural to feathered brows, you can achieve anything with this baby. It doesn't get tacky or flaky like other glues *and* holds up well against sweat. Reviewers compare this to Benefit's brow gel and even prefer this one! Promising reviews: "For forever I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows, and throughout the day, I would sweat through it and it wouldn’t last.
This product is awesome; I’ve had it on my brows for a 9-hour shift and they are still in place! Also I'm glad to say it doesn’t dry and get flaky , nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. I use brow powder and this does NOT effect the look of the powder nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product.
" — Shelby "The Boy Brow from Glossier was my ride or die eyebrow product for years, but the tubes are so small and they raised the price so I could no longer justify it. This brow glue is the closest thing I’ve found to Boy Brow and it’s half the price! Will definitely repurchase." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $9.
69 (available in six shades, including clear). 18. Slingback heels guaranteed to girl-bossify you.
Pair 'em up with a darling brunch dress or some office slacks, and you'll be radiating sophistication. OK, sure, they're not REAL Chanel, but they certainly look quite similar — even reviewers say so! Prime members: You can try before you buy ! Promising review: "This Chanel [alternative] is very in style right now. I wear them to work a lot with dark denim and a blazer.
Or white jeans and a blazer. The heel is not too high, so gives my 5’4” frame a little lift but not too much to get achy feet. I like the sling back because it stays on without blistering or moving around-and adds extra interest other than my solid black or nude pumps I wear to the office every day .
I’m a size 6 with a narrow foot and these were true to size. I’m sure I’ll get many years out of these shoes. They are a staple for the wardrobe without the hefty Chanel price tag.
Love them!" — ND Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in six colors). 19.
The bestselling Essence Lash Princess mascara to enhance your beautiful lashes with its cone-shaped fiber brush — with such dramatic (+ clump-free) results, you won't need extensions or falsies ever again. Reviewers swear it delivers the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5 — the 252,000+ 5-star ratings don't lie! Promising review: "I have found my holy grail mascara! Most days, I don't wear any makeup, except for mascara — this is perfect for that or a more dramatic look. This mascara provides length and volume with a good wand to separate lashes.
It dries to a soft, feathery texture. This stuff stays put! It has stood the test of rubbing, itchy/watering eyes from allergy symptoms, crying, running through rain, sleeping in make up — all without smudging, flaking or clumping . This version doesn't claim to be waterproof, though water and my regular cleanser are not enough; I have to use eye makeup remover to clean it off thoroughly.
" — Lindsey M. Get it from Amazon for $4.99 .
20. A cropped padded workout tank if you love the Lululemon look and material, but your bank account says ✨ no ✨. Fortunately, reviewers say this budget-friendly top is v comparable to Lulu in terms of its look and material, *AND* there are so many adorable colors to choose from (or just get one in each color)! Check it out on TikTok .
Promising reviews: "Honestly saw this on TikTok and contemplated getting it for a long time. I’m so glad I committed! It’s tight and holds everything together really well. It’s extremely comfortable.
The padding is amazing so you don’t have to worry about a bra underneath at all. You can wear it with sweats or leggings to the gym or even dress it up for a night out. Considering more colors for sure!" — Kristyn Long "This cami is SOOO high quality; it feels exactly like if not even BETTER quality than similar Lululemon yoga camis .
The length is perfect, not too short not too long. After reading reviews I decided to size up and get a large because some people said if you get it too small the straps might cut into you and it'd be too short. I agree with that! They're so soft, I'm just shocked at the quality, and such cute colors! I got white and a light green.
Absolutely obsessed with these and will be ordering more!" — Rosa Rodriquez Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 27 colors). 21.
And another cropped tank with padding that looks EXACTLY like the Lululemon Align tank top — I'm actually shook! It has the same neckline *and* removable padding, and it's won over 28,000+ 5-star reviewers with its comfort and support. I bought a few of the Lululemon ones and after discovering this version..
. I'm absolutely devastated LOL. 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 sweet heart neck line 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 $18.39 (available in 29 colors and women's sizes XS–3XL).
22. TruSkin vitamin C serum , here to help even your skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Over 92,000 (!!) reviewers have given it 5 stars for its truly magical results, and many love it as a budget-friendly alternative to pricey faves like SkinCeuticals.
Just dab some on after cleansing your face and top it with your favorite moisturizer! TruSkin Naturals is a small business that specializes in skincare products. Promising review: "This serum works wonders on my skin. I had slight hyperpigmentation on my face, and I do have acne scars; my skin looked dull and lacked moisture.
After I applied this serum every day in the morning, my skin looks so much better than before. My pigmentation is reduced; my skin looks fresh and moisturized. I am very happy with my purchase, and I highly recommend this to buy.
" — Kavita Get it from Amazon for $18.69+ (available in two sizes). 23.
A belt bag to bring along on all your upcoming festival and vacation plans. It'll hold your necessities and let you go ~hands free~ whether you sling it over your shoulder or around your waist. Plus, it comes with a hidden pocket in the back for your most valuable belongings — those pickpockets have no chance! And yes, it closely resembles the Lululemon belt bag — reviewers say the only major difference is the missing logo.
I just finally gave in and bought this, and it's my new go-to bag! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers as well: "I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip.
Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents." Promising review : "I’m SOO impressed with the quality of this bag! I’ve worn the Lululemon belt bag and I gotta say, this is pretty similar. Almost identical, except the Lululemon is a tiny bit smaller size.
The Lululemon one also has a plastic zipper but this Amazon one is metal. I prefer the plastic but this one is OK. It might be better than Lululemon JUST for the fact that they have so many color options! " — Em Get it from Amazon for $13.
98 (available in 33 colors). 24. A cubic zirconia cuff delightfully similar to the Cartier Love Bracelet, which goes for (.
..hold on, I need to pick my jaw back up.
..) over $17,000?! Prepared to be absolutely tickled because this one's just $12 — and reviewers love that, unlike the way-too-expensive version, you don't need to screw it on! Promising review: "This is a product where you can’t say “you get what you paid for” because it really looks sophisticated.
It doesn’t look cheap . I bought this because the Cartier love bracelets are very expensive and I don’t like doing the screw because I don’t plan to always wear them since I have a little kid and sometimes it’s uncomfortable. If you want a Cartier love bracelet [alternative], this is it! Easy to open and close.
Very flawless. Why did I just think about this!? Lol." — Shiexil Get it from Amazon for $11.
99 (available in three finishes, nine other styles, and five sizes). 25. And on that note, a cubic zirconia ring that'll make you go, "Cartier Love Ring who?" It's a simple yet elegant, understated yet ~bougie~ piece that'll never go out of style.
If you take the price of this one and subtract it from the Cartier one...
well, I'm not gonna do that math, but the point is I just saved you a whole lot of money. 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 three finishes, two styles, and women's sizes 5–12). 26.
A popular checkerboard throw because there's nothing better than wrapping yourself up in a cloud-like throw, sipping on a pipin' hot cup of tea, and rewatching Gossip Girl for the ninth time. This truly gives the Barefoot Dreams blanket a run for its money because reviewers say it's *just* as soft and looks the same! Promising review : "This blanket beats others because it is softer (a buttery and fluffy feeling), it is long enough for a 5'10" tall person, it is not too light and not too heavy (works year-round in Virginia), and it has a stretch to the material that I haven’t experienced with other soft blankets. The design is just so-so, but the colors are nice, and the price is right.
If they updated the designs with more colors, patterns, then these would be absolutely perfect. I like this as much as my much more expensive Barefoot Dreams blanket and Williams Sonoma faux-fur blanket ." — JH Get it from Amazon for $31.
99+ (available in six colors and three sizes). 27. Chic Steve Madden sandals perfect for your summer vacay in Barcelona.
And if you don't have a trip booked yet, why not do it now with the money you've saved buying these shoes over the $700+ Hermès ones that look almost identical. 👀 Reviewers suggest sizing up! Promising reviews: "These are super comfy and cute ! They remind me of the Hermès sandals! These are my second pair!" — Rocky "What a great Hermès alternative . Why spend thousands when Steve Madden makes them for much less? And they last longer, too! Great sandal for casual, everyday, classy wear!" — Brooke Price Get them from Amazon for $59+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 and in 20 colors).
28. A sleeveless halter bodysuit if you want to feel comfy as heck in that buttery-soft Skims material but don't want to shell out the money for it. Luckily for you, this is incredibly similar, and some reviewers say they even prefer it over the real deal! You'll never find yourself overpaying for this closet staple again.
Some reviewers said that they were able to skip wearing a bra with it! Promising reviews: "Okay this is so good. I had the Zara bodysuit identical to this but it quickly got stretched out so I tried this one out. It is 10 times better than that one.
The fit is perfect, it hugs you just right and is supportive enough that I won’t wear a bra. Also, not see through at all! Amazing. Need in all the colors.
" — Dawn E. "Saw these in a TikTok and I took a chance. The sherbet orange one looks just like the picture and it’s double-layered material so it’s not see through.
It’s smooth material and lays flat. Will def buy more." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.
99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 29 colors). 29. Physicians Formula Diamond Dust translucent powder that creates the ultimate shimmer on your cheeks, nose, eyes, and anywhere else you want to brush this baby on.
It'll give you that glassy, dewy finish and leave you ✨ glowing ✨. Reviewers compare this to Fenty Beauty's Diamond Bomb highlighter (which is $40+) and rave about how similar it is! Get a side-by-side look at this next to the Fenty Diamond Bomb highlighter on TikTok — the creator applies one to each cheek for comparison! Promising review : "I love love love my Physicians Formula Diamond Dust mineral powder! I wish I’d known about this before I spent $42 on a Fenty compact that does MORE than I want with the sparkle ; this product gives just the right amount of coverage without having it end up all over my face and on my clothes as well. It’s also pretty if you want to bring attention to your collarbones or shoulders.
A perfect amount of shimmer with little effort! Try it!! You can thank me later!!" — camielle parent Get it from Amazon for $12.15+ (available in two shades). 30.
Mane Club One Hit Wonder 10-in-1 Leave-In Spray , a perf alternative for It's A 10 , according to reviewers, because it does the exact same thing for a way more affordable price. This bb literally does it all — it conditions, detangles, hydrates, strengthens, and everything else your haircare routine needs. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly swears by this spray: "I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers.
A lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow drying.
Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow-drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! " Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days.
'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends." Get it from Amazon for $9.95 .
31. A pair of slip-on loafer mules that'll add a sophisticated touch to your look. You can wear these beauties anywhere, and they give that iconic Gucci look with the gold buckle clasps.
Plus, this price is unbeatable — um, I think you need these now! Promising reviews: "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 "The shoes come very nicely packaged! These are my favorite shoes, once you break them in they are like BUTTER. I have bought two pairs myself, I own them in black and in white.

. people even think they are Gucci !" — Caroline King Get it from Amazon for $49.89+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors).
32. An elevated laptop tote bag so you can strut in style while having everything you need with you because it's just that roomy and versatile. It's the perfect alternative to the Béis Work Tote, which is great and all, but the price is a little *too* steep.
Some reviewers even like this one better! 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 "I had purchased the Béis bag in the past and have gone through four of them in one year. This bag is the perfect [alternative] but 100,000x better quality! The lining hasn't ripped like the past bags I've purchased and it has great compartments and durability. This bag is a must for the quality, style and price!! I will never go back to another brand.
" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in nine styles). 33.
Extra-soft AOA Studio makeup sponges to blend your foundation, concealer, and other makeup flawlessly. Reviewers rave about this affordable swap for popular options like Beauty Blender — you can't beat getting a pack of six for under $10! Promising reviews: "If you got here because of TikTok, then just go ahead and add to cart. These babies are so much softer than the Real Techniques sponges and, in my opinion, better at blending than Beauty Blender .
" — Cassandre "I had been seeing these all on TikTok so you know if it's on there it's going to be good! I had tried so many different beauty sponges and had not had any luck. But with these ones I fell in love. They are so soft, and they work amazing dry or wet.
Super easy to clean. My makeup looks amazing as well. Definitely recommend!!!" — Allison Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.
95 . 34. A classic pleated tennis skirt with built-in shorts — throw this on, and you'll look like you're ready to hit the country club in high fashion.
Reviewers consider it a great alternative to not only Nike but also Alo and Aritzia — say what?! Promising reviews: "I LOVE this skirt! I have the original Nike one and they are identical. The only difference is that it doesn’t have a logo on it, but tbh I prefer the no logo look. It’s such a good buy and SO comfortable!" — Tayler "I was skeptical at first but once it arrived! WOW! I love this skirt! I need one in every color now.
Very comfortable, breathable fabric, and the skirts have a secret pockets on the inside on the shorts! I really like it and the length is perfect! Oh, and there’s a super cool thick band around skirt top. It looks very nice I received a lot of compliments on skirt! Definitely recommend! ❤️" — VM Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in nine colors and XS–XXL).
35. Oversize square sunglasses that'll have you strutting down the street to "Rich Girl" because that's what you'll look like — but no one will guess that you actually spent under $20 on these Bottega-like sunnies. (They might , however, do a double take and wonder if they know you from a TV show.
) The glasses have polarized lenses and UV protection, so your eyes will stay safe from the harsh sun! Promising reviews: "Love these so so much. I wanted the chic Bottega Veneta designer pair, but these look exactly like those for less than $20. Deal of the century.
They are comfortable and extremely well made and I seriously can’t get over the price. I’m thinking about buying another color because I love them so much." — Kam "I saw these sunglasses on TikTok a couple of months ago and finally ordered them.
I’m so glad I did. I LOVE them!! They’re such good quality! And I love the way they look on. I’d definitely buy them again!!" — Sammie Batey Get it from Amazon for $15.
99 (available in 14 colors). 36. A simple, gorgeous tennis bracelet because even though "diamonds are a girl's best friend," they may just be a little out of your price range — not to worry, because cubic zirconia isn't! Reviewers swear this looks like the real deal (ahem, Swarovski) and doesn't tarnish.
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 $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, and in yellow, rose, or white gold).
37. A loungewear set that def gives off Skims vibes. Lounge around in style because you're just that ~bad and bougie~ — one reviewer even says that as soon as she put it on, she felt "like a woman who's got her life together.
" So *basically* if you want to rot on the couch all day but still look like you have your life in check, you need this! Promising review: "No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price . The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they’re plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together.
Anyway, I’m back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much !" — Jenna Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $54.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 27 colors). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
