It's beautiful and can sit out on my bar cart; it is super functional and doesn't leak. It's a conversation starter, and everyone who has seen it loves the way it looks and asks where I got it. I will say, the bottom is quite heavy, and this makes shaking a bit awkward, but once you get used to it, it's no big deal.

Just make sure your tub walls are at least three inches thick. Promising review: "Recently moved into a home that doesn’t have a Jacuzzi tub like I used to have.
This has just enough power to keep the water moving while I soak. You aren’t going to get a massage from the jets, but it works perfectly for someone that likes a Jacuzzi-type bath vs. sitting in a tub of hot water!" — Haley Get it from Amazon for $79.
99 . 7. A Skin1004 Zombie Pack to bring your skin back to life in a good, non-horror movie, way.
The mask tightens as it dries, creating a fun undead look (just like the more expensive Hanacure ). When you wash it off, you might be pleasantly surprised to see bouncier, more hydrated skin. This mask is made with albumin, a component from eggs that helps moisturize skin.
It claims to help tighten pores, hydrate, promote elasticity, remove dead skin, and balance pH. To use, mix the included powder and liquid together with a brush. Spread the mixture evenly over your face and leave until it begins to dry.
Wash after 10 or 15 minutes, and enjoy your freshly hydrated face! For more Halloween-inspired skincare, check out the green Witch Pack . Promising review: "I was gifted the Hanacure masks and loved them, but they're just way too pricey. I heard SO many wonderful things about the Skin 1004 zombie mask and at about $2.
50 a pop, why not?! Let me tell you, this mask is just straight-up magic. I didn't notice any changes to my skin immediately, but a few hours later, when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I've never noticed a difference like this.
Hanacure who?!?? don't get me wrong, the Hanacure mask is amazing and magical, too, but it's expensive and impossible to maintain the twice-weekly mask schedule recommended. T his Zombie mask is every bit as magical with better results in my opinion. And it's super funny.
A lot of the reviews mention a bad smell, which I was worried about, but I didn't notice a smell, and I'm so sensitive to smell I can't use scented lotions, lip balms, etc. Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure both price and results wise." — Dana Dane Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $22 .
8. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings similar to the popular Bottega Veneta ones, but for a fraction of the price. They're lightweight and gold-plated, meaning that even those with sensitive ears can enjoy them.
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.

LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets. P romising review : “LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable.
Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ” — Shannon Warfel Get it from Amazon for $29.71+ (available in sizes Twin–California King, with deep pockets, and in 37 styles).

" — Shasta Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 34 colors). 17.
An ultra-well-reviewed, single-blade safety razor for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine. Despite the high-quality construction, this luxe metal razor will actually save you money in the long run — you can get a 50-razor refill for less than $10. Reviewers say they've gotten much closer shaves with this over the usual plastic kind, so this purchase is kind of a no-brainer.
This razor comes with a five-year warranty. Promising review: "I love this razor. I have very sensitive skin, and this has been a lot less irritating than the disposable razors I'm used to.
It does require more care to use. I am shaving more slowly and mindfully than I was with disposable razors, and my experience is that the blade will rust if you don't take the razor apart to dry it off between uses (although if you are only using a blade for a couple of shaves before changing it, this probably won't matter). But honestly, I like the change.
It feels a lot more luxurious and has a much better result . Would recommend." — Pretty How Town Get it from Amazon for $19.

19. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even 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). 20. And a scoop neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top.
Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs. 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 $11.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 29 colors). 21.
An easy-to-apply, one-hour self-tanner that's cheaper yet more effective than most competitors. The vegan formula is easy to blend without streaks or uneven patches, which makes it a hit with beginners. While the tan may be instant, the fade is nice and gradual.
Promising review : “If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME.
Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I’ve used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff.
The best one-hour tan I have ever used !” — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in 11 styles). 22.
A bodycon jumpsuit with flared bottoms perfect for low-impact workouts or any casual outing where you want to look like an off-duty fitness influencer. Reviewers say this is comparable to the much pricier Aritzia Butter jumpsuit, so really, you're saving money by getting it. Promising review: "I never leave reviews, but this jumpsuit deserves one!! It is an exact alternative to 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 $19.98+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 13 colors). 23.
A set of room-darkening velvet curtains ready to glam up your space. Reviewers love that these look and feel way more expensive than they are. Keep in mind this listing is for just one panel.
Promising review: "Purchased these for my studio, which is in an old mill. I wanted them for their insulating properties more than to block out the light because my studio loses a lot of heat at night due to its enormous windows. The curtains/drapes work great for both — I am especially pleased with how well they help keep the space from losing heat! Before having the curtains the space would lose about 8 degrees in temperature overnight (which in the winter is a significant amount, especially in the northeast).
Now, with the curtains, the space no longer loses heat overnight! It is now so nice to go into my studio in the morning and find it still toasty warm!" — Noname Get them from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in five sizes and 20 colors). 24.
A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals that are not only supremely comfortable, they're also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks . The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best. Prime members: You can try before you buy ! 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 a 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 $20.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles). 25.
A cute set of glass coffee syrup dispensers so you can pretend you have a personal coffee shop right inside your home. If the Seattle Space Needle can have its own Starbucks, why can't you? The kit comes with a funnel and package of labels, but if your coffee tastes are kind of niche, there are also two blank labels. Promising review: "I absolutely love the look of these dispensers on my kitchen counter.
These dispensers have an expensive feel and look . Added so much class to my countertop and blended perfectly with the current decor and items on the counter. The only change I would make is maybe adding an outline for where the perfect placement of the label should be on the jar.
You really want them to be even and at the same height, but once they are on they are on. I would still recommend this purchase to anyone! 10 out of 10. Gorgeous! These are stunning, and I am in love .
" — Kevin Get it from Amazon for $25.95+ (available in three finishes and two sizes). 26.
A fancy laptop bag that's a little more elevated than a backpack or say, an ancient Trader Joe's canvas tote. The faux reptile pattern and trendy shape make this piece feel more like an accessory than something designed to lug a 15-inch laptop around. Promising review: "It’s much more spacious than it looks.
It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag, and I find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, a makeup bag, a water bottle, a wallet, a lotion, a phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects .
Still plenty of space. And when you see carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome. The bag does sag a bit after use.
But has held up to wear and tear. I would recommend. " — Su Get it from Amazon for $34.
99 (available in nine styles). 27. A chic pair of cylindrical wineglasses because drinks 100% taste better when in the proper glassware.
Not unlike the similar ones found at Crate & Barrel, these lightweight crystal glasses are perfect for wine, Aperol spritzes, or even a frozen dessert. Promising review: "We've had four of these glasses for over six months now and finally just added four more to our collection. These glasses are SO CHIC and are very similar to ones sold at Crate & Barrel but are MUCH more durable .
Unlike the C&B glasses, you can cheers without feeling like the glasses will break. In fact, they've tipped over in the sink a few times and are still intact. They dry beautifully, sparkle after the dishwasher and we get so many compliments on them.
I love them!" — Katie B Get them from Amazon for $27.99 (also available in red wine and champagne glasses). 28.
A midi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal. 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 15 colors/styles). 29.
Maybelline's 4-in-1 Glow Makeup — a primer, concealer, highlighter, and BB cream all in one — that offers Charlotte Tilbury coverage at a pharmacy-brand price. The built-in sponge tip applicator will help even beginners get a glowy base for their makeup. Promising review: "This stuff is my ride-or-die no-makeup-makeup staple! I use this more than I do my regular foundation.
It doesn't provide much coverage, but it filters the skin and gives amazing dewy hydration! I use this instead of my Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter! It's so affordable and gives the exact same result! Such a staple in my collection!" — Meredith Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in eight colors). 30.
A roll of peel-and-stick fake marble to jazz up all your dull surfaces. The adhesive is water-resistant and heat-resistant up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Promising review: "Used a little more than one roll for a quick makeover for an ugly fireplace in a rental apartment.
It was easy to cover the tiles with the film, and I could stretch the film out about 1 mm if I had cut the strip too short. It makes a huge difference for minimal effort/price. I don't think anyone would be squinting down at the floor to notice the slightly pixelated pattern.
" — zhen Get a single roll from Amazon for $10.05+ (available in two sizes and three designs). 31.
A beautiful tennis bracelet no one has to know is actually made with zirconia. You just need to decide if you want yellow, white, or rose gold plating — or OK, all three. If you want to step up the quality, the bracelet is also available in 18k gold vermeil.

You can install them yourself with magnetic adhesive strips, and they're battery-powered, so you can recharge as needed. Promising review: "I loved having these excellent magnetic attachments so I can move them around and turn them on to charge them. It has a high-end look.
Battery life is also excellent and sticks to any metal surface. Definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made." — Luis R Get them from Amazon for $25.
99+ (available in warm white and cool white). 33. And a wireless library light to give the museum treatment to your favorite collection of books, family portrait, or haunted painting with eyes that follow you around the room.
The portrait lights are battery-operated and wireless, so you don't have to worry about hiring an electrician or doing any installation yourself. Each unit runs off of three AAAs (get a 36-pack here before you forget!), and an included remote lets you set the light to different brightnesses and schedule a timer for 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Promising review : "For the price, you can’t beat it.
Super easy to install and lightweight. The gold had a slight orange tint to it, so be mindful of that. I actually just taped over the light and spray painted ours with gold spray paint I had left over, and then they were absolutely perfect.
" — Paris Seder Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three colors). 34.
Ohora semi-cured nail strips offering a professional-looking manicure, even if your past at-home attempts yielded less-than-stellar results. Apply them like stickers, seal them under a UV lamp, and you're done! These waterproof strips will look and feel like a gel manicure and last up to two weeks. Promising review: "Love these nails! The picture is them after a week (still going strong)! I put them on for my honeymoon.
I’ve been in the ocean for hours and they are not showing any wear. They took maybe 15 minutes to apply — I did use a gel top coat and I think that helped keep them from chipping this long. Will be buying more!" — Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $13.
50 (available in 38 colors). 35. A glamorous set of feather-trim pajamas that look like something Dolly Parton might lounge in.
They're great for bridal parties, sleepovers, and morning plandids where you want to heavily imply that yes, you woke up like this. P.S.
The feathers are removable for easier washing! Promising review: "Obsessed...
they are literally perfect. Thin without being see-through, soft, exactly the right size and fit I expected (I didn’t want shorts that were too long, and these are just right) with just enough space to be comfortable! The cherry on top is that the feather cuffs come off but don’t seem to be too fragile. I was worried they would slide around or fall off, but they seem really sturdy.
" — M Deely Get the set from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3X and in 10 colors). 36.
A baroque-inspired mirror for anyone who has been eyeing gorgeous Anthropologie mirrors but can't quite rationalize the hefty price tag. This piece of decor is pretty similar and comes at a fraction of the cost. Promising review : "I hopped on the gold ornate mirror trend and spent a long time trying to find one within my budget.
I was worried at first because there weren’t any reviews when I first bought this. It looked amazing online and was the perfect size, so I went ahead and got it. I am THRILLED with this purchase!!! One of the best things I’ve gotten from Amazon.
It’s beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pics. It came four-ish days faster than estimated. It’s perfect for my makeup desk.
If there were different sizes of the same mirror, I would buy all of them." — McKinlee Mayer Get it from Amazon for $92.99+ (available in seven sizes and five finishes).
37. A marble board wire cheese cutter that's as beautiful as it is functional. Cutting the cheese has never looked so elegant.
This can slice through hard cheeses like cheddar and manchego, but opt for a knife when slicing really tough cheeses like a parmesan. Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use.
We have a lot of get-togethers with friends, and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So, I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and is mostly easy to clean.
Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack, but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $18.87 (available in two colors).
38. A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer if weekly trips to the salon are just sliiightly out of budget. This handy device dries hair as you style and gives your 'do shine and bouncy curls, all without the cost of a pricey blowout.
Some reviewers even compare this to the $599 (!!) Dyson Airwrap. Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a–4c hair mentioned it works for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time.
Promising reviews: "I've had my eye on a Dyson Airwrap, but given the cost, I figured I'd try this while I save up. This thing is fantastic. I have waist-length hair that's naturally straight but gets frizzy when damp.
I've had salon blowouts that have left my hair looking great, but I simply can't manage a round brush without it getting tangled in my hair. This device has been a game changer. It works best if you air dry for a while before you use it, then use it to finish your style.
My hair miraculously doesn't get snarled in it, and it leaves my hair looking like I've had it professionally styled. I love it, and I'm no longer interested in blowing $500 on a Dyson. Highly recommend!" — Ilsa "I have super thick, Dominican curly hair.
I LOVE this blow dryer. I use a keratin heat protector and blow dry it. Super comfortable and slightly quieter than a normal blow dryer.
I take it on vacation with me — very travel friendly. I also create so many styles with it. :) Very versatile.
" — Jenny Get it from Amazon for $39.35 (available in two colors). 39.
An antique decorative mirror tray that magically turns your hectic makeup pile into an orderly, sophisticated display. Add a little jewelry dish or potpourri to really complete the look. Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt for a vanity tray, but they’re all so pricy.

40. A faux-sheepskin area rug ensuring the first thing your feet feel in the morning is fuzzy heaven. You can use this next to your bed, flung over a couch, or as an auxiliary pet bed.
Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these, and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter.
The faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have a cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside, too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in six sizes and eight colors).
41. A magnetic eyeliner and lashes kit to give you that dramatic "omg are those falsies?" look without having to get lash extensions. Just apply the smudge-proof liquid eyeliner as usual and then place the magnetic eyelashes on top.
And that's it — you'll be batting your eyes like a cartoon character in no time! You'll get five pairs of magnetic lashes and the liner! Promising review: "I suck at makeup. I have never been able to do fake lashes, which was always a huge bummer to me because they look amazing. Then, I was given these for my birthday, and I decided one night to just mess around and try it.
Honestly, I was SHOCKED at how easy they were to apply and how incredible they looked, but I was so convinced that since I’m such a beginner, they’d just fall right off after a couple of minutes. I was sooooo wrong. They lasted all night.
I felt like a baddie, I was up until like, 5 a.m. taking pictures and videos.
I had put them on at 5 p.m. and taken them off at 6 a.
m. They are now my new favorite part of doing my makeup and, honestly, an essential for me at this point . Perfect for a full face or a natural look.
I’m obsessed, and it's been well worth the purchase every time I’ve bought them. Which now is way more than once because I’m in love!!" — Hope Craig Get an eight-piece set from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sets).

Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" — Amazon Customer 🌷 Get it from Amazon for $16.
