1. Essence's "What the Fake!" Plumping Lip Filler to give your lips a lil' extra ~vavoom~ — this tingly formula not only volumizes your lips, but it's made with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to leave them extra moisturized and hydrated. Check out a TikTok of the plumping lip filler in action.
Promising review : "I got this as an add-on last minute because of the price. It's small, but wow, it's impactful. A little goes a long way, and you can feel it working instantly.
There is a tingle, not quite a burn. I'd def use a bit at a time when starting, but it works great right away." — Bt2turntup Get it from Amazon for $4.
99 (available in two tints). 2. A two-pack of comfortable, Skims-quality V-neck seamless camisoles with a subtle ruffle at the hems and the CHEF'S! KISS!!! amount of compression in them — these are form-fitting enough for light activities like yoga, but cozy enough to lounge in.
(I own these and am personally *obsessed* with how they add a sweet, sophisticated touch to an outfit, and how ~expensive~ it feels.) These are a holy grail tank top for me — I bought a set on a total whim and loved them so much on the first wear that I immediately bought more. The quality of the fit and fabric is up there with Skims and Aritzia's, to the point where I keep double-taking at the price point .
The straps are also fully adjustable for a perfect fit, to the point where I don't need to bother with a bra (but def do need to bother with my beloved silicone Nippies lololol). I got it in the waist-length so I could tuck it into pants and skirts, and I cannot recommend them enough — I've already washed one of them a bunch of times and it's holding up beautifully. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.
99 (available in sizes XS–XL, cropped or waist-length, and 15 sets). 3. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~.

I love them. I would highly recommend. I’ll probably never sleep without them again.

5. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation , which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use.
Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof .
This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made.
It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT. Promising review : "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build.

A lot of reviewers with dry skin and keratosis pilaris swear by this for relief! Dermasuri is a small business that specializes in skincare and personal care products.
Promising review: "I used this back scrubber the day after it arrived, and I love it. Finally, I have an easy-to-use and more effective way to scrub my back. I saw the dead skin fall to the shower floor.

" Nothing like a lil' self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them.
I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review: "Very soothing.
My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97 . 10.
Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action.

Promising review : "These are microwaveable and light to carry. Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain.
I primarily bought these for microwave purposes. But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also it’s an in-between size like a medium.
Just right for me." — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.

Each day has the same two-page spread that prompts you to think about your day, how you felt, and why you felt that way. There isn’t really any inspiration or advice, just open lines for your thoughts without it being an intimidating blank page.

Promising review : "They’re comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation.

E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara , a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes.
This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Check out a TikTok of the E.
l.f. tubing mascara in action.
I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing . I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.
f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges.
My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black.
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 18. E.
l.f.'s new Stay Cool Primer Stick for a double dose of hydration and ~coolness~ that will not only help your makeup glide on like a dream, but give your skin a much-needed refresh.

Def my new favs! Love love love!" — Cozette Get it from Amazon for $7 . 19. A time-saving electric "Y-Brush" toothbrush to fully brush your teeth in TWENTY SECONDS instead of the usual two minutes.

This is also designed to be sensitive gum-friendly, with four different vibration modes to choose from! Check out a TikTok of the Y-brush in action. Promising review: "I've used the Y-Brush for six months, and I'm very happy with it.
It does a thorough job in a fraction of the time I normally spend with a traditional Sonicare toothbrush. I was afraid it was too good to be true, so I waited until my latest dentist appointment to post this review. The hygienist remarked I had less tartar buildup than usual.
She could not find any areas that the Y-brush did not reach." — BoostedZ Get it from Amazon for $149 (also available in a kid version). 20.
A cross-hatch tissue holder you can plop over a standard tissue box for that *decor's kiss* perfect touch that shows just how thoughtfully a room's vibe was curated.

99 (available in two colors). 22. An adorable mini toaster oven reviewers are calling an Easy-Bake Oven for adults — this teensy gizmo is perfect for a single-serve toast, a quick lil' dessert, and an easy leftovers reheat.
Promising review: "Our old traditional pop-up toaster kept setting off the smoke alarm, so wanted to get a toaster oven. This little toaster oven was just the right size and price . I usually only make one slice of toast at a time anyway, so why get something bigger? It is very simple to use, makes consistently good toast, and is adorable.
I love the way it looks and its cheerful 'ding' when the toast is ready." — Julie Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in four colors).
23. A set of anti-slip silicone "marble" organizer trays for the bathroom that look like the real thing, but are wiillllldly more convenient. Unlike actual marble, these are shatterproof, easy to move, and laughably easy to clean.

Reviewers with cystic acne love these because with typical patches you have to wait until they become whiteheads to pull the gunk loose from them, but these start helping the instant you feel the acne starting to form.
Check out a TikTok of the Mighty Patch Micropoint Patches in action. Promising review : "I’ve been buying these for several years now and recommend them! When I feel a deeper blemish starting (my deep ones are large, painful, and then nothing happens besides showing itself for a week), I put one of these boys on it at night, and it is typically smaller by the morning. I do it again the next night and it normally is gone after day two.

Check out a TikTok of the hat washer cage in action. Promising review : "At first glance, this holder appears to be just another gimmick. However, we washed three dirty caps, and they came out very clean.

It keeps the bowl lightweight (but it is still sturdy) and makes it easy to clean. I highly recommend this fruit bowl. I couldn't be more pleased with mine.
