Shhh...don't question it...just add to cart.
1. A luxurious leave-on lip mask to say goodbye to chapped lips once and for all. This mask is like a blast of hydration, containing a trio of hyaluronic acid, castor seed oil, and squalene to create plump, pillowy puckers. This will moisturize your lips while you snooze away or whenever you feel that chilly-air-tightness coming on!
Target
Promising review:"I have not been disappointed by a single E.l.f. product. I love the amount of hydration from this product. E.l.f. products are affordable and I appreciate they are still higher quality products. The fragrance-free moisturizing lotion is the best!" — Christmastime
2. A milky vanilla moisturizing bath bomb because moisture starts from how you treat your skin during bath time! This bath bomb doesn't contain harsh ingredients — instead, it moisturizes and soothes redness with ingredients like coconut and oats. The best part? It smells like vanilla to up the cozy bath vibes.
Target
Promising review:"These are really lovely bath bombs (proper bath bombs that fizz) at a reasonable price. I would absolutely buy these again, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy as gifts either." — Sea
3. A bottle of L'Oreal Paris Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water if your hair is in need of a moisture treatment, but you have approximately five minutes in the morning for your entire hair routine. This formula contains both moisturizing agents *and* amino acids to rebuild your hair's structure while upping the ante on a lustrous shine!
Target
Promising review:"I love this product for our 7-year-old's tangly knitted hair. It really helps smooth it out and make it easier to brush. We've been using it for a few years now and it's a lifesaver!" — redrocks
Price: $11.59
4. A hydrating facial cleanser because cleaning your skin should NOT mean stripping it of its vital oils! Seriously, your skin *needs* the good bacteria and oils that traditional foaming cleansers tend to strip away. Protect your lipid barrier with a moisturizing cleanser (like this one) that rids the skin of the day's grime while simultaneously hydrating it to its plump glory.
Target
Promising review:"I have tried every face wash, spot treatment, acne medication, birth control, and professional facial service under the sun, and I have had acne since I was 17. I bought this, and my skin cleared up completely in three months, so much that I was able to completely stop all other topicals and oral dermatologist medications. I use the a.m. and p.m. moisturizer, too; this was really a godsend." — Ks97
5. A plumping lip gloss if you're SUPER inspired by the 2000s revival of pillowy soft and glossy lips. Pair this with your favorite lip liner for a plump and reflective pout.
Target
6. A magic root cover spray because there's concealer for your face — why not have a concealer for your hair? If you're in between coloring appointments and want to spruce up your roots for a meeting, dinner, or just for yourself, simply spray this and no one will be the wiser.
youtube.com
Promising review:"This gets the job done between salon visits! My only suggestion is placing a comb on your hair part when you spray so it doesn't get on your scalp." — Karlton
7. A tube of Weleda Skin Food that's your new saving grace whenever dry skin strikes. This cream is a cult-favorite for soaking into the skin and creating a soft-lit, luminous glow that lasts. You can slather on a whopping amount to act as a moisturizing mask or apply a pea-size amount in lieu of your typical moisturizer.
Target
Promising review:"This product is terrific. I must mention its hydration prowess, which was just outstanding. It hydrates the skin better than other brands I've tried. If you're in search of a cream that offers deep nourishment and superior skin hydration, then this is it!" — Amalia
Price: $17.99
8. A brow glue because the days of using glycerin soap to achieve wispy, feathery brows are DONE! This brow glue locks brow hairs into place and comes in a convenient tube with a spoolie, so that you'll never have to dip your tools into soap ever again.
Target
Plus, unlike other brow-freezing products on the market, this one costs about the same price as glycerin soap! Cha-ching. If you don't know the soap brow trick, check out this comparison of $1 soap brows versus a $112 brow gel.
Promising review:"I cannot express how much I love this product! I was looking for something that was easy to apply, did not leave white residue, and actually lasted throughout the day. This does all that! I have tried other brow-freezing products, soap brows, even putting hairspray on a spoolie…but none of them last and end up with white noticeable residue. For the price, it's 100% worth a shot!" — Ely B
9. A hair oil mist if you just can't be bothered with flat-ironing flyaways daily. This is one of the easiest ways to smooth frizz in a flash while adding a gorgeous scent and moisturizing with argan oil!
Target
10. A liquid eyeliner because graphic liner looks and killer wings are still all the rage these days, but they're painfully difficult to perfect. Luckily, even novices can master a cut-worthy wing with this liner's easy-to-use stencil!
Target
Promising reviews:"This eyeliner does its job, but what I really like is the cap. The wing on the cap is so useful for helping me make a wing tip without making a mess on my 50-year-old eyelids. I love it!" — Reviewer
"Once it's on...it stays. I love that once it dries, there is no smearing!" — abrewer19
Price: $8.99
11. A pore-minimizing primer since there is no dewy makeup finish without a smooth base for your foundation! This primer is perfect for those who have prominent pores or oily T-zones that causes makeup to melt off as quickly as it went on.
Maybelline
Promising review:"I love the way it makes my skin feel and look; glad that I bought two by mistake. All you need is less than a dime size to cover your face. Love that you don't need a lot of product and it makes your skin feel smooth. Definitely a go-to in my makeup routine. I would buy this product again." — Jen31787
12. An Odele leave-in detangling tonic because using a hair detangler is the best way to quickly separate curls and get rid of knots without causing too much frizz. Along with conditioning the hair, ingredients like amino acids and plant proteins strengthen the strands while boosting shine. Use this on damp hair and watch how easily your wide-tooth comb will glide through your strands.
Target
Promising review:"I love how this product makes my hair feel after allowing it to dry then flat ironing it or curling it. I use it right after towel-drying my hair. I start at the ends of my hair, then root. I have thick, frizzy, wavy hair. This works wonders." — The taste was just right
Price: $11.99
13. A Maybelline mascara that has cemented itself as one of TikTok's favorite lash-enhancing products, years after first going viral! This mascara makes it easy to achieve full, defined, come-hither lashes with just a few strokes — clumps not included.
Target
Watch a person's reaction to their lashes after using this mascara on TikTok here!
Promising review:"I've seen people raving about this mascara a lot on TikTok, so I had to try it. I got it in the shade 'very black.' I've purchased it two times now. I love how lengthening and thickening it is without being clumpy, and it's not hard to remove." — Natalie
14. A Neutrogena Hydro Boost sheet mask because it contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate dry skin and add a natural plump. A mask version of the beloved gel moisturizer, this is great to use during a spa night, but you can also use this during your morning routine to start your day off with a dewy glow!
Target
Promising review:"I bought this mask on a whim, and I loved it so much that I bought a couple more to bring on my international travels. Post-flight, this mask is phenomenal for hydration." — DanniJo
15. A micellar water for the first step in your nighttime skincare routine — removing your makeup. This micellar water is great because it removes ALL makeup, including waterproof mascara! And the best part? Micellar water only removes impurities, meaning it's nonstripping and generally great for those with dry skin.
Target
Promising review: "Very effective in deep cleaning and removing makeup, including mascara." — jr
16. A jar of Aquaphor healing ointment because, hear me out — Aquaphor isn't just for fading scars or stowing in a diaper bag. It's the skincare community's secret to glowing skin! Many people use Aquaphor for "slugging," a skincare practice that uses an ointment after a nighttime routine to seal in all the hydrating serums and moisturizing creams. I've been slugging for the past few years with Aquaphor and GEEZ! I've never woken up with softer skin in my life.
instagram.com
17. A super moisturizing shampoo that contains Kristin Ess' proprietary Zip-Up Technology to seal split ends! Though this color-safe formula is sulfate-free, it still lathers up like a dream *and* contains moisturizing avocado oil! If you want something to give your hair a boost in between salon appointments, this is the perfect no-thoughts-required shampoo.
Target
Promising review:"This is a GREAT shampoo/conditioner combo!!!! I was really nervous to go back to drugstore after falling in love with Dae products, but this works just as well as the expensive stuff for half the price!!! My hair feels so soft and this has a nice smell that lasts!! I will be repurchasing!! Not to mention gorgeous packaging!!" — Kaylee
18. A Tree Hut Tropic Glow whipped body butter because your body's skin also deserves some love. This body butter smells like a warm, vanilla-y tropical dream, and it seeps into the skin to provide lasting hydration.
Target
19. A Tigi Bed Head wax stick so you can rock a slicked-back bun forever. OK, maybe not forever — but this wax keeps even the most stubborn flyaways in place all day, even through a good sweat sesh at the gym!
Target
20. And an E.l.f. contour palette, because it's been making the rounds on TikTok for its ability to sculpt the face, add warmth, and up any makeup look! People love that this pressed powder formula glides onto the skin easily and rarely appears blotchy.

13 Habits Men Do Alone At Home
Some people consider it a true luxury to have alone time at home, especially if they have a family to care for. So we asked the married men of the BuzzFeed Community, "What's the first thing you do when your family leaves the house, and you're finally by yourself?" Here's what they had to say: "Make a disgustingly huge meal, pop those pants off, and read in complete silence." —Anonymous, 36, Boston "Lounge around naked. Before I got married and had kids, I was basically an at-home nudist. It's comfortable, involves less laundry, and is better for the skin. We're fairly casual with nudity at home now, but not just sitting around or doing everything naked. I miss that feeling of freedom." "Binge-watch my shows (automotive, survival, construction, etc). Take a bath, relax, and do some R&R." —Anonymous, 38, Utah "My wife has this wildly strong aversion to meat on the bone, and the sound of crunching and chewing. So, if she goes out for the evening, then it's a wings and Doritos night for me. I can eat in peace without her being bothered or complaining about the crunching of chips. That and watching old cartoons from the '80s and '90s." "Honestly, I dance around and sing at the top of my voice. Secondly, have some 'private' time." —Anonymous, 39, Edinburgh "Xbox. I know it seems obvious, but just being able to play for hours at a time and not miss the cut scenes that advance the story in the game is bliss." "I would go to the beach during the day, then buy a bunch of frozen pizzas, ice cream, fudge, rent (before streaming) all the movies I wanted to watch, and make a strong cocktail. Usually, her dog would clean up the leftovers. We promised never to tell. Oh, it was heaven." —Anonymous, 54, California "I like to slip slowly into a comatose state, doing minimally as possible for survival until about the last hour of freedom, where I do all the cleaning and house projects until my wife gets home." "I make lamb chops or steak — because my wife doesn't like them — sit out on the back porch, smoke a cigar (she doesn't like the smell), listen to music loudly (she says it hurts her ears), and hope she doesn't come home early." —Anonymous, 58, Pennsylvania "Get stoned and watch the most violent, curse word-filled movie with the surround sound on full blast!" "If my better half is leaving for a work trip or a few hours, I'll usually cook something she doesn't enjoy and pour a wee dram or three of Scotch. Normally, our dog isn't permitted on the sofa when we're eating, but I look the other way. Sitting on the sofa, dog's head on my lap while watching a game or a movie I enjoy is probably boring, but I'm happy. If it's a multi-day trip, I'll try to tackle a couple of small projects around the house." —Anonymous, 55, Washington DC "I usually tidy up the house a bit first, just so I don't have to look at a mess and so the wife will be happy when she gets back. Then I plan my meals, shooting for trying places the wife and kids wouldn't want to try. Then I usually plan a few activities they wouldn't want to do, like visiting a new brewery or seeing what sort of live music events might be happening in the evenings. Once all of that is planned, I fill the rest of the time playing video games, watching shows or movies they wouldn't want to watch, reading, or napping." "Having time ALONE that isn't more than just a few hours is a luxury I don't get to experience often anymore. I love my partner, but thanks to our work schedules, we're rarely apart aside from when we're at work. So when she goes away for the weekend for whatever reason, I RELISH the opportunity. But in reality, I don't actually do much different than I usually do — the big difference is that I can do it in COMPLETE SILENCE. Not talking to each other is NOT the same thing as being alone." "I can read or watch whatever I want without feeling guilty about not talking, I can eat whatever I want without having to consider what she's in the mood for, I can work on projects on my own time, or I can just play video games for hours on end! Or, I could watch movies or TV shows that I haven't finished or started yet, which I don't usually do if I know she's not gonna be into it. And, of course, I might have to run errands, but I can do it on my own time in SILENCE. It's very important to me to have someone who respects that I NEED space every once in a while, and she does. In fact, I worry about people who CAN'T be away from their partner for long, if at all. The best advice I can give is to make sure you're with someone who respects when you need personal space or isn't worried about leaving you alone for a few days. In my opinion, it's unhealthy otherwise. I've been in relationships before where I can't even go home for the holidays without being accused of cheating while I'm away! What kind of crap is that? (Not discrediting people who have actually been cheated on a bunch, but if you're worried your partner is out cheating, maybe you should get a new one. Just saying.) And for when she gets back, I'll usually get some steaks a few days ahead of time so we have something to cook easily, and she'll love coming home to that."—Anonymous, 31, Michigan Men, do you have a certain ritual that you do when you're home alone?
