A lil’ polar bear hydrating eye stick

Promising review: “I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh. my. goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles are still there, but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend it to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed.” — HeartsUnfold

A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo

Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients.

Promising review: “I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It’s longer and thicker than ever.” — Diane J. Huff

Essence’s Lash Princess mascara

Hello, that is my face above because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews, and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn’t get clumpy, it stays put no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don’t want it to look so dramatic or continue applying for longer lashes each time.

Promising review: “Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5, you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out. I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints.” — Kd

Plus Essence’s Volume Booster Lash Primer

Just be sure to wait thirty seconds after application to layer your mascara to get the full effect!

Promising review: “Saw this primer recommended on TikToks and they were right. Let it dry before mascara application, and it does wonders. Adds volume! Stays all day.” — JC

Thank Me Later Eyeshadow Base

Promising review: “So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high end to low…they don’t hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!” — Melissa Mae

“Saw this used by a makeup artist on TikTok giving a tutorial for women over 40. Totally changed how my eyeshadow works. No clumping or crease lines!” — wo1995

COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence

I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn’t help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I’m struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it for a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I’ve found that it’s what got me the best results!

Promising review: “I stumbled upon this product on Instagram, and like most people who see products heavily marketed, I was skeptical. But my skin texture had been rough, my tone had been uneven, and I was willing to try something new. I wish I had taken some before and after photos. Within DAYS, my skin started to feel so much smoother/even, and I wasn’t even putting my normal face lotion/night cream on it in addition to the mucin. It is lightweight, and you only have to use a small amount. I’ve already told all of my friends that they need to order it! 10/10 would recommend!” — Kelsey

COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Moisturizer

To use as intended, apply the moisturizer after the snail repairing essence has dried on your face in your skincare routine.

Check out a TikTok of the snail mucin moisturizer in action.

Promising review: “I was skeptical about this but I love it. I have sensitive skin, and when I use it, I don’t feel like my face gets irritated or red. It goes on so smoothly and very well under makeup. My face looks so plump and feels soft. Definitely recommend.” — MO

E.l.f.’s new sheer tint moisturizing “Squeeze Me” lip balm

Promising review: “I have one in my car, one in my purse, and one at home. These just feel so good on your lips! The flavors are very true to their name. They are pretty small though, so if you use it often it won’t last long (which is another reason I have three of them), but for $4 each it is worth it. I sometimes like using this before putting on the E.l.f. Lip Reviver Oil. Such a great base to an awesome lip oil!” — Jax

A pack of the internet-beloved Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment

Promising review: “I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!” — Kiara Galloway

I Dew Care’s dry shampoo powder

Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action.

Promising review: “I’ve had the best results from this dry shampoo than any other. It’s a small container, but it lasts a very long time because a little really does go a long way! I also do this the night before so the powdery look goes away by morning and it’s more absorbed. You can also add a light oil to your ends and work it up if it feels too dry. There’s no scent either, and it is very convenient for travel! This is the only thing that still makes my hair look ‘clean’ on the no hair wash days!” — Alice

CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum

Promising review: “I am very pleasantly surprised with the results of this so far! I’m in my mid-40s and fair-skinned. Sun damage and age spots were starting to take over my complexion. I’ve tried so many expensive creams, serums, facials, etc, with little results. Decided to try this based on the number of reviews, and I was not disappointed. After less than a week of using this in combo with their morning facial moisturizer with SPF, I already see a noticeable difference. My skin is hydrated, so much softer, and I can actually see the discoloration fading! I am shocked.” — KMC

A ~weightless~ liquid cream blush

Promising review: “These are so high quality, and I am so happy I took a chance on them. For anyone who is familiar with Korean beauty products, know that these are very high-quality. The formula is very lightweight, the color is water-infused, and when you put the product on, it’s very natural looking. If you came to Amazon to look for a liquid blush, this is the absolute best option for the price you’re paying.” — Nyooni

A charming octopus-shaped blackhead remover

Promising review: “I was quite skeptical of all the hype but decided to try it out anyway. This stuff actually works! Two weeks in and my stubborn blackheads are almost gone, and my skin is much clearer. Holy grail!” — Tmuk

A firming eye cream

Promising review: “Incredible product! Still cannot believe what a difference it has made in the lines and wrinkles around my eyes. I use it twice a day and actually use it for my entire face and my neck. My skin feels so soft, and lines are disappearing.” — Melissa

A pack of cult-favorite Clean Skin Club Clean Towels

Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products.

Promising review: “I absolutely love these. I saw these on TikTok and bought them. I will be buying more. They are great for my face. Really soft and VERY durable and strong, even when wet. You can wash your face [with it] or just dry your face, either way, it’s the best option.” — Sahara

A bottle of Nyx matte setting spray

Promising review: “This stuff is amazing, especially for the price. I have very oily skin, and no matter what I used to do, my makeup would get smeared by midday. I bought this, and it made such a big difference. I usually spritz it all over my face after applying foundation and then again after finishing my eyeshadow (before mascara, though). My foundation stays in place and my eyeshadow remains perfect until I take it off at night…no creased or anything. I love this product and hope they never stop making it.” — Betchaan

E.l.f.’s Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm

Promising review: “E.l.f. has really stepped up their game lately! I was using Farmacy Makeup Meltaway, and I loved it, but it was very expensive. I decided to try the E.l.f brand because of the price, and it’s the exact same thing! For $11, you can’t go wrong with this product. I wear waterproof mascara, and this makes removing it super easy! My face feels super clean and hydrated after using this product. The product lasts for a good amount of time, too.” — Haley McCaulley

A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them!

Promising review: “For the price, I was skeptical, but I just used it yesterday and saw an immediate difference in my hair texture. It felt very shiny and healthy. Even after blow drying, it kept its shiny, healthy texture, and I was very impressed! I don’t see any issue with the smell at all. Great for dyed, damaged hair. Will definitely be making a staple in my hair routine.” —
