1. A liquid callus remover that's basically the equivalent of getting a pedicure in your own home. This stuff'll quickly get rid of YEARS worth of calluses that you thought were just part of your feet forever.
Not anymore! Promising review: " BEST THING I'VE EVER BOUGHT. I’ve spent so much money on foot creams, lotions, and foot scrubbers over the years. Like for legit 10 years now I’ve had cracked heels.
My feet are always dry and my heels get so bad that they crack and bleed. I’ve tried so many things that I honestly just believed I’d always have cracked heels forever. After reading all the reviews.
.. even the scary ones that made me almost not want to buy it.
.. I thought I’d give it a chance.
I followed the directions exactly, and used gloves along with only leaving the gel on for no more than 5 minutes. I think I could’ve probably left the gel on for a little longer because of how bad my heels are, so I’ll do it again tomorrow, but already they look like brand new feet!! The kind of feet I thought I’d never have! So, I’m incredibly impressed and so excited! " — Heather Nelson Get it from Amazon for $14.99 .
2. A tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Shadow Base because you didn't spend time putting on eye makeup in the morning only for it to be all smudged, faded, and creased by the time the afternoon rolls around. This stuff'll help enhance and lock in your eyeshadow, keeping it vibrant and in place all day long! It's cruelty-free! Promising review: " Best primer EVER.
I absolutely LOVE this primer! It goes on very smoothly, and it will keep your eye makeup in place literally all day . It also helps with maximizing the pigments in your eyeshadow, making sure they pop. I also bought a tube for my mom, because she struggles with oily skin and her eyeliner never stays on.
Once she used this, not only did her eyeliner stay in place and not budge, but it helped control the oil as well. Out of all the primers I've tried, this is the only one I will use, because it is reliable and affordable." — Carolyn Get it from Amazon for $13.
99 . 3. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges adored by reviewers (over 74,000 5-star ratings!) for being inexpensive, long-lasting, super soft, easy-to-clean, and for giving great results.
Promising reviews: " The best makeup sponges. These are my favorite makeup sponges, and the only ones I buy now. I’ve bought these multiple times.
They last a long time. They are soft, durable, apply makeup evenly, and easy to clean. Highly recommend.
" — Amy P "I am VERY picky when it comes to my makeup sponges. For years I would only use a Beauty Blender because, to be honest, nothing else compared or gave the same foundation finish . These are truly a game changer! They are not 100% identical to the name brand blender in texture, HOWEVER they DO give the same flawless foundation finish.
I would even go as far as to say they soak up less foundation which means you aren't wasting as much product. And can we talk about this price point?!?! Save your hard earned money and PURCHASE THESE! You won't be disappointed." — Lindseyy Get a set of five from Amazon for $6.

Promising review: " Best pimple patches I’ve tried! So impressed with these patches! I usually get a few annoying pimples, and these really help keep me from picking them while helping the inflammation go down! Compared to other brands I’ve tried, I found that these stick on better, and I don’t wake up in the morning wondering where it went! Also, they’re a great size compared to the other brands I’d been using prior to purchasing these." — Semra Kol Get it from Amazon for $10.77 .

Promising review: " This is the BEST detangler EVER!!! Do not use on dry hair though if you have curly or wavy hair. It will straighten your hair and leave it frizzy.
But, use this in the shower with your conditioner, and you can finger-comb your hair, air dry if possible, and your waves and curls will be the best ever!" — TDHokey Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in a variety of colors/styles and in packs of two). 6.
A popular, nonaerosol dry shampoo powder for those mornings before work or class when you probably should've showered but simply didn't have the time. Gently rub it in to absorb excess oil and add instant volume — no one has to know! The bottle is tiny, but reviewers also note that a little goes a long way, so even a small bottle can last for a long time! Promising review: "OK so I never leave reviews for anything, but I have to for this dry shampoo! I stopped using aerosols several months ago, and I have tried so many dry shampoo powders since then that have done absolutely nothing and are also really annoying to apply. This one actually works and is just as easy as an aerosol.
I usually can get maybe three days out of a hair wash with other dry shampoos, but I got to day five with this one and my hair still looked freshly washed . I never thought I would find anything that worked for me as well as my beloved Batiste , but I think I like this one even more!" — Kennedy Get it from Amazon for $18 . 7.

I think this is the best thing I’ve ever put on my face. I have super sensitive skin, and I gave myself a retinol burn.
I had huge dry patches all over my face, and it was so uncomfortable. I ordered this, and after using it for one day, my face wasn’t red anymore. I’ve been using it for three days, and the fine lines I had on my forehead and smile lines are hardly visible, and I have no more dry patches on my face anywhere .
I’m amazed. I can’t wait to see what this continues to do for my skin. If you’re thinking about buying this, here’s your sign — get it!!!" — Kyoko Ozaki Get it from Amazon for $12.
99 . 8. A pack of SweatBlock clinical antiperspirant wipes for anyone dealing with excessive sweat, because spending money on an array of fancy deodorants and doctor visits full of empty promises is truly the ~pits~.
Apply it every seven days! This is STRONG so if you have sensitive skin, I'd suggest you do a spot test first. Promising review: "For anyone who might be skeptical, please allow me to put you at ease. If you have hyperhidrosis, meaning it can be nine degrees outside and you're still sweating under your arms, this product has the potential to change your life.
I would sweat THROUGH a sport coat before noon. Enter the Sweat Block product. I've had it for three weeks and it is life-changing.
I DO NOT sweat under my arms anymore. I'm still on the original box that I bought three weeks ago. I had to write a review after I was cleaning the garage today in 85-degree heat.
I was sweating through my shirt on my back — BUT NOT MY UNDERARMS. It is amazing!" — Frosty McGee Get a pack of ten from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of two and three).

Today was especially a hard day working from home after not sleeping last night with an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old. I was feeling beat! My skin was sure showing the stress. I had LOW expectations — no way this could make me feel better, but I decided to treat myself at least a little.
Well, was I in for a BIG surprise! I was FaceTiming my mom, also my BFF, during the tightening. I sure was scared, we both thought this would be perfect for a Halloween night! LOL! But as soon as I rinsed it off..
.WOW! My mom was asking all about it! She will try it, too! LOL! I will surely continue using it! Please leave this awesome product at this awesome price! Greatly appreciated by tired mommies like me!! Gracias!!" — TAYD3 Get a set of eight masks from Amazon for $23.81 .

12. A jar of Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb that'll feel like a refreshing drink of water for your parched skin. The moisturizer works for all skin types and is oil-, phthalate-, paraben-, and sulfate-free.
Former BuzzFeed editor Rachel Dunkel has this and loves it. Here's what she said about it: "Aqua Bomb moisturizer is easily my desert island skincare product. Although I have dry-leaning combination skin, I hate most moisturizers because creamy formulas feel heavy and just yucky to me, especially under makeup.
Aqua Bomb's gel-like consistency absorbs like a dream. It's soothing to stressed-out skin in the winter and cooling through the heat of summer. I recommend it to friends of all skin types because it gives your skin that bouncy hydration it craves without feeling oily in the slightest.
I've put it on every night and most mornings for years and have no plans of stopping anytime soon!" Get it from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in two styles and three sizes). 13.

Simply let it sit on your hair after shampooing for five to 20 minutes and rinse! This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review: "I have naturally blonde, medium length, more coarse hair that gets damaged from heat styling and is just naturally dry. I was looking for a hair mask to help heal my dry ends and just general damage. I followed the directions on the box, and left it in my hair for 15 minutes, and rinsed my hair, and styled as normal, and my hair has never been so sleek, and NOT weighed down, and the hair cuticles are together, and not frizzy.
AND it's sooooo humid outside today and my hair stayed looking fresh. BONUS! I've tried so many masks and treatments that have weighed down my hair or left a weird residue, and this is the best one I've ever tried. For my hair length/thickness, I could get about five treatments from this size of a bottle .

I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase.
OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight, only because I had been wearing them for the last four months.
Nothing happened to the Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything — just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have. " — Lisa R.

This is hands-down the absolute best product I have tried on my hair in years, maybe decades! I have very thick, coarse, highlighted hair that proves to be a challenge for any product that claims smoothing, frizz control, shine, etc. I have tried so many high-end products that do not live up to their claims with my hair.
As soon as I removed the towel, I knew this product was a winner. My hair looked smoother than usual before I even started to blow dry. When I finished blow drying, it looked the way it does when I leave a salon.
I am super impressed and immediately ordered more." — shopsalot Get it from Amazon for $10.97 .

I usually put it on at night before going to sleep, and I see a difference overnight . It has a very light almond smell that I think is quite nice. I use it by putting one brush stroke on each cuticle, and then rubbing it all in.
I bought the tiny bottle, and it has lasted me a long time. When it’s done, I’ll get the bigger one. Definitely recommend.

A First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant reviewers swear by for helping get rid of dry, rough bumps while brightening and soothing skin. It's particularly helpful for anyone dealing with keratosis pilaris — also known as chicken or strawberry skin. Read more about how to treat keratosis pilaris at home at the American Academy of Dermatology .
Former BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde loves this product! Here's why: "I've had keratosis pilaris since I was a teenager (it's especially bad on my thighs), and after trying dozens of products to treat it with no luck, this magical product is the only thing that's truly worked for me. I usually use this once a week for maintenance, but in the winter if I notice a flare-up and have drier, rougher, bumpier skin, I use this twice a week, and any flare-ups disappear within the week. I scrub it over my thighs and then actually let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off.
I have notoriously sensitive skin, and I've never had an issue with this before. It's truly the best product out there for any fellow KP sufferers!" Promising review: " The best product I have ever used for my keratosis pilaris! My arms are the smoothest they've ever been!

Here's what BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd has to say about these: "As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes, and I'm terrible at applying them), this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes.
After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort." Promising review: "My favorite find of 2022.
This is the best mascara I’ve tried! Great coverage, smudge proof and last all day long. I always get compliments on my lashes when I wear this (I don’t wear it daily because I’m lazy). Beautiful color on this and I love the application wand.

I love this setting spray! It gives my skin a nice, dewy look.
It doesn't smudge my makeup when it goes on, and it keeps my makeup looking fresh throughout the day.

This is by far the best exfoliating mitt I’ve ever used, and I’m in the beauty business and have tried a lot of different methods and mitts.

It comes with a day *and* night mask — simply put them on like normal lip gloss for instant results! You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips. Promising review: " Best lip plumper I’ve tried so far! Honestly, a super great product. Not only is it more affordable than most lip plumpers (especially for two of them), but it also does a good job of doing what it’s supposed to do.
It lasts longer than some high end plumpers, and doesn’t hurt nearly as much. I also like how it doesn’t smell like chemicals like most plumpers. It has a slightly minty scent, but isn’t strong enough to make me sick.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an affordable lip plumper that does the job!" — Alexandra Get it from Amazon for $9.98 . 30.

this stuff works best when mixed with apple cider vinegar ! Promising review: " BEST mask I've ever used! I can't get over how great my skin feels after using this mask! As a self care experience, this was a really satisfying way to wind down after a rough day. I used apple cider vinegar, and it fizzed when I mixed it up, which was an unexpected little ASMR moment. The tingling/pulsating feeling while the mask is drying actually feels quite soothing.
After washing it off, I can't get over how soft my skin feels — I literally can't stop touching my face! Five star product for sure!" — Lauren Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes). 31.

Promising review: "This is the best product I've bought in years!!!! I read the reviews and decided to take a chance. I'm more than impressed.
I bought it to use as eye cream. However, I decided to put it on my face when I noticed how it felt under my eyes. This product was better than any moisturizer I've owned in the last ten years.
It's worth the money!!! I had a dry patch on my face from eczema and it went away after I applied this product. This is the first time I used LilyAna and I was simply searching for an eye cream. I read the reviews and decided to give it a try.
I promise this is the best investment I've made in years. It's worth trying. I never write long reviews, but this product is amazing.

I was scared to shape my eyebrows with it, but it came with a small attachment that makes the blade smaller so you don't accidentally shave off half your eyebrow LOL! I love them, 10/10. " — Abigail Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.94 (also available as a pack of nine).

Promising review: "I love my three-barrel curling iron. I'm one of those who cannot for the life of me figure out how to curl my hair with a single barrel or a straightener. My hand just does not want to cooperate or maybe my brain is overthinking it, so this three barrel curling iron is a game-changer for me.
I have super straight hair, so straight that air-dried is a suitable style for me. I've always wanted to be able to curl my hair and this has made that possible! My waves are beach-y and I've received tons of compliments from friends and coworkers." — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $28.

Promising review: "Oh you better get these. I have been ill and for the first time in my adult life, I couldn't use my hands right to put on eye makeup . I read reviews and thought I will try these.
These are amazing. I put it on yesterday. Smooth, easy application .
Goes on just as you see color, not too light like others I've tried. It is still on today from my trip yesterday. We were at my doctor, and I was so tired I slept with eye makeup on, not unusual, LOL.

Promising review: "What a difference from my old powder! I had been using the Nyx loose powder for years but it always made me look so...
dusty. This stuff, oh man..
. it makes my foundation look airbrushed on! Like, what the hell!? It has a very very slight sheen and seems to just sink into your foundation, no dusty look whatsoever! I am amazed..
