38 Things If You Have A Vampiric Relationship With The Sun
Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops will help you fake that you spent the weekend taking in the sunshine instead of sick and holed up on your couch catching up on all the horror movies you've been meaning to watch. And at $33 cheaper than the Drunk Elephant version, you might just go ahead and invest in a second or third bottle now. Reviewers say it's super hydrating and buildable! A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Lanolips SPF 30 lip balm for a nice, light, pineapple-y treat so you don't get back inside after a picnic and start wondering why your lips feel so tight. Your lips needs sunscreen too! But with this, it doesn't taste like you're wearing sunscreen. A "boardwalk"-scented spray SPF 30 in case you find yourself on an actual boardwalk during a go-with-the-flow just sipping some wine on a patio where you're DEF in direct sunlight. Oh, and it's in a vegan, water-resistant formula made to protect you for 80 minutes. A SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar for a K-beauty sun fix you can safely throw in your bag and then reapply on the go. It has a slightly curved bar for easier application (like in the GIF!) and matte effect, and won't leave a white cast in its wake. A set of cooling patches will work some soothing magic for a variety of uses including (perhaps most importantly), sunburn. But it'll also help with itchiness from bug bites and poison ivy. And! They're TSA friendly. So you can probably leave your aloe vera gel at home for your next vacation. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum, which reviewers ADORE as a priming moisturizer. Because sometimes, when you're doing a full face and your SPF isn't built into another product, even the BEST sunscreen users can forget it! Oh, and there's zero white cast! Or standalone Bliss Block Star Face Sunscreen SPF 50's nongreasy formula will soak into skin so well — even if you're layering it under a full face of foundation (I should know). It's also sweat- and water-resistant, fragrance-free, and noncomedogenic, so it checks most of the boxes for what you could need in a face sunscreen. A TomboyX solar mesh tank that'll help keep you cool and dry thanks to its breathable UPF 50 protection material. So it'll work super well as a swim cover-up, workout top, or just a nice layer to keep you from pouring sweat while just being outside of your house! A reviewer-beloved, spacious beach tent with UPF 50+ protection (the maximum sun protective rating achievable for fabrics) to give you ALL the shade at the beach because the beach CAN be great. You just gotta be prepared! A UPF 50 quick-dry long-sleeve swim top if your shoulders always ALWAYS get fried on beach vacations. Pull on this cute top and it won't be an issue! And if you prefer a little more coverage, some UPF 50+ swim capris built to help you jump some waves and engage in some serious seashell-hunting activities. A *solid* Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen that really sticks to your skin on your tropical (or just plain sweaty) vacation. Oh, and because it's a solid, it's carry-on–friendly! (I love to keep this in my purse all the time.) Or Kopari Sun Shield On-The-Glow Sheer Sunscreen Stick packs SPF 40 for a verrrrrrry glittery effect on your skin while keeping it from sizzling in the sun. I just used this at a Las Vegas music festival and got away (mostly) unscathed. (I got a little lazy at the end and missed a few little spots on one shoulder.) Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because sometimes you get sunburned even when you think you're being great about reapplying sunblock. Or maybe you just recruited your laziest friend to help you reapply on your back. Both are highly possible! A fancy umbrella that reviewers love for their patio but *also* take along to the beach. But if you're landlocked, you still have lots of shady backyard ops to use it. A sturdy beach umbrella that reviewers say withstands the wind in case you're sick of renting an *essential* shady umbrella for every last beach day. A retro-look swim dress that, tbh, has no business being this cute. And! It has full shorts underneath so you don't have to worry about anything riding up at the least convenient time. If you wanna look beach-y without putting every last inch of your skin in the sun (bc sunburns), then this is a great bet. A packable floppy hat with a wide brim that'll provide some extra shade on walks, park days, whatever! A *tasteful* sunshade triangle rather than a canopy you can rig up over the patio or the kids' sandbox to block up to 95% of UV rays and keep things a bit cooler while you lounge in the shade. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers to pair with your body sunscreen so there's someone besides you and your pal who're wading in the waves to remind you that, uh, yes, you do need to reapply! Oh and they last for 12 hours. Once a sticker turns colors, it's time to reapply. A zip-up one-piece with cute cap sleeves and a fun print if you can't stand on the beach 20 minutes without getting sunburned on your chest. Or, you just wanna get versatile with the amount of cleavage you show. A refillable sunscreen sponge applicator with a rollerball inside to make reapplication SO much easier. Even for your family members who always complain later after they avoided reapplication OR "reapplied" but somehow still have an extremely sunburnt stomach. Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 beloved by reviewers with melanated skin for good reason. It rubs in (like, actually rubs in) and doesn't leave any ashy white effect. A reversible bucket hat because, well, EVERYONE looks great in a bucket hat. You just haven't found one that suits you yet. WELP, I just found it for you. Keeping the sun outta your face has never looked so cute. Self-Tanner will be super easy to apply and develops in an hour. Just because you coat on the SPF doesn't mean you can't have a nice summer tan! (Psst, self-tanner beginners say this vegan formula is easy to use with a nice, gradual fade.) Coppertone Sport Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 comes in a two-pack so you can know you'll be covered without FEELING like you're covered in greasy sun protection. Coppertone Glow with Shimmer Sunscreen Spray in SPF 30 can give you that been-outside-all-summer glow — even if the most light you've basked in has been the light of your phone three mere inches from your face as you scroll through TikTok at 3 a.m. A roomy beach bag with a waterproof section where you can stick your phone, Kindle, and other items that ABSOLUTELY cannot get wet. AND it'll have plenty of room for your sunscreen and sun hat. A waterproof pouch to throw your phone in on that day you decided to shock your friends by driving an hour to the river and going tubing in the sun. You can catch it all for the 'gram because this'll keep your phone dry *and* let you still use your touchscreen. I bring these on all my beach vacations and have taken some really cool underwater videos. A five-piece table set just begging to be paired with a chic umbrella because maybe you're ready to emerge from the air-conditioned outdoors. But you'd like to remain in the shade. Or a 15-foot lighted umbrella that'll tilt (literally) to your whims and give you the right amount of shade and light when/where you want it. A hanging lounge chair your dog will adore too — all the better to make a lil' oasis for yourself. (Even in the smallest of backyards!) Milani Make It Last Sunscreen Setting Spray / Primer with SPF 30 to help you combine three beauty products into make your makeup waterproof for up to 16 hours. After all, if you're going to bother putting on makeup during the blistering heat of summer, you might as well make sure it stays PUT. If you're feeling splurgey, Kopari Sun Shield Body Glow Gel SPF 45 delivers on some major glitz while blocking the sun's harmful rays. In case you've always thought, "I love how people look all glowy while oiled up!" but have gone for traditional SPF for obvious reasons, here's your sign to try this. A sand removal bag filled with talc-free, reef-friendly powder that'll help you brush off the scratchy stuff when it's time to reapply your sunscreen. Exfoliation scrubbing is happening LATER in the shower, not in between SPF layers on the beach, OK? Also, it'll be fab when it's time to the leave the beach and you don't want to track a bucket's worth of sand into your car. Supergoop! Shimmershade eyeshadow, an easy-to-use SPF 30 sunscreen, makes for a super easy summertime (or any time) routine. Sun Bum SPF 30 Scalp and Hair Mist to make sure that your precious hair part doesn't get burned while you're doing whatever you're doing outdoors. This also doesn't turn your roots or scalp a different color!

36 Great Alternatives To Pricey Brand-Name Items
A pair of waterproof wireless earbuds that look just like AirPods Pro — *but* these have an LED display to show you the battery percentage on the case. These don't have noise cancellation like the Pros do, but if that's not something you're looking for, this swap will help you save a LOT of pretty pennies. The earbuds last up to 6 hours on a single charge and are sweatproof, meaning they can transition seamlessly from your phone call to a running session around your neighborhood. And a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones with the same sleek, shiny shell design of AirPods Max. These have pretty decent noise cancellation (according to reviewers) and a built-in mic to answer calls, and they feel super comfy on your ears with their extra padding. For only 20 bucks, they're a much safer (and wallet-friendly) purchase if you're unsure about Apple's headphones — they are over $500, after all... A cubic zirconia ring that looks so much like a Cartier Love Ring, people will think you dropped BANDS for it. People will undoubtedly compliment your bling, so in the words of Mel Robbins — let them. ☺️ The Hanes Ultimate crew socks because who wants to drop bank on good quality socks?! No thanks. These are just like Aritzia's TNA socks — which cost $20 for a three-pack — but these come in a pack of ✨six✨ for half the price. They still have the same ribbed detailing, sit above your ankle, and will feel super cushiony as you walk around in them. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine — did you know that their shade "Ecstatic" looks eerily similar to Clinique's "Black Honey?" Well now you do. Elf's version is sheer, buildable, and nourishing (just like Clinique's) but costs almost 20 dollars less! A set of square stemmed wineglasses so your CRISP white wine can hit just a little harder when you take your first sip. Just imagine swirling your twist-off wine and sipping like you're on a wine tour in Napa. If you feel like these seem straight out of Crate & Barrel (good eye!), reviewers say they look just the they love the price tag of these much more. An Ugg-inspired suede mule slipper that's still got the comfortable fuzzy interior and stylish exterior like its Aussie counterpart, but for soooo much less. These even have half-sizes — which Ugg doesn't! L'Oréal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion for an illuminating glow that easily rivals the infamous Drunk Elephant's bronzing drops. It's designed to be worn alone, under foundation, or use it as a highlighter on your cheekbones! Reviewers like this *more* than Drunk Elephant because it can be worn as a skin tint and it's less glittery. A pair of leakproof "Cloudfeel" period boyshorts that give the Thinx version a real run for their money — and these are 10 bucks cheaper. They're soft, comfy, and hold up to 12 tampons worth of period blood, so you can sleep without any worries you'll stain your sheets. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume if YSL Black Opium is your holy grail scent, but it's simply breaking the budget. This one is quite literally inspired by YSL, so you get the experience of wearing a luxury scent without dropping $95. It's designed to last for up to eight hours *and* smell like a wonderful blend of mandarin, jasmine, orange blossom, and vanilla. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream aka a solid alternative to Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, because they're both designed to neutralize redness and even out your skin tone — but L'Oréal's is a lot more affordable. Bonus: It can double as a base for makeup, making it very versatile — we love! A waterproof fitness smartwatch that'll make you question why it's under $40... It has many of the features that make pricey smartwatches so amazing, like Bluetooth, voice-control features, the ability to take phone calls, and an HD display. It also allows you to track numerous things like step count, calories burned, training time, AND distance for a variety of activities. It has a unique, sleek design (just like the Apple Watch) *and* 500+ watch face options to choose from — or just upload your own from your camera roll! Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein treatment for damaged hair from hot styling tools or over-processing from harsh treatments like bleach. Reviewers say it helps their hair feel stronger, softer, and less tangled, with an immediate difference. One person even went as far as to say that it's "Better than Olaplex." 😱 Glossmetics' Lychee Overnight Lip Mask designed to deeply hydrate so your lips feel softer by morning. It's formulated with shea butter (just like Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask), but it's *also* got peptides packed into it — great for hydration and preventing dryness. Reviewers say it's a good alternative because it feels very similar, lasts a long time, and doesn't get goopy in the corners of the mouth. A pair of ~Dreamlux~ leggings that are the closest thing you'll get to Lululemon Align leggings without dropping major cash on them. They not only look the same, but they're also soft, comfy, *and* not see-through — which means you don't have to worry when you do a deep lunge at the gym. Reviewers also like these more than Lulus because they stay in good condition over time, the color doesn't fade, and they don't fall down when you're wearing them. A Briotech spray with hypochlorous acid, an antibacterial ingredient that can help reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation. Spritz this on your face as needed (like after a workout!) to help target acne-causing bacteria and soothe skin. Reviewers compare this to the Tower 28 SOS Spray, which is pricier (and has the same key ingredient!). Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, a color corrector that neutralizes the bluish eye bags that scream, "I only slept for four hours last night." It'll not only provide impeccable coverage, but it'll also nourish your skin thanks to its hyaluronic acid and shea butter formula. Reviewers say they like this *more* than Smashbox's Becca under eye cream because it's thinner, doesn't settle into fine lines, and is better at brightening. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm with a blend of vitamin E and pearl barley to remove makeup with EASE. Say goodbye to those wasteful makeup wipes when you can swipe this on — it leaves no residue or oily mess on your skin. So take this as your sign to ditch the pricier versions by Farmacy Green Clean, Dermalogica, or Elemis! A set of satin pillowcases that have a similar aesthetic and similar benefits to pricey alternatives like Slip and Kitsch — and reviewers agree. They can help create less friction against your hair, reduce breakage, and control frizz, making them great for those of you who take your haircare EXTRA seriously. A long-lasting E.l.f Lash XTNDR tubing mascara reviewers say OUTPREFORMS pricier versions like Benefit, Thrive, and Blinc because it doesn't clump or flake *and* it stays in place all day without being hard to remove. It's formulated with jojoba seed oil to condition lashes, all while providing *dramatic* length. A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals if you love the stylish look of Birkenstocks on summery days. Over 1K reviewers compare these to the name brand, with some noting that these are more comfortable, good quality, and have no break-in period. An Apple-compatible locator tag with all the functionality of an AirTag but at a price that won't make you say "Really..." 😑. These come in a waterproof case, so no matter what situation your lost thing finds itself in, the tag will stay in perfect condition. They're especially useful for pet owners who can sometimes lose their furry friend! A moisturizing body wash if you wish Baccarat Rouge 450 came in soap form. Well, do I have the product for you — reviewers say it smells very similar! It has a silky smooth consistency *everyone* loves, and smells like a heavenly blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber. Your showers are about to hit DIFFERENT. A multipurpose, minimalist nylon tote bag so you can cosplay as a Longchamp wearer who's on their way to pilates on a Tuesday at 2 p.m., when you're really on your way to work. It can fit your laptop, planner, makeup essentials, and more. You'll probably gasp when you realize this folds up into a triangle *just* like the Longchamp Le Pilage bag. Or a laptop tote bag with an alligator print to feel luxurious on your way to work, school drop-off, or just your daily errands. The best part? It won't break your bank account! It's very similar to the Béis Work Tote and can fit your laptop, water bottle, iPad, makeup essentials, and more with ease! E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter that'll make your skin glow, blur the appearance of pores, and add a dash of moisture to your skin — just like Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter — except this has a better price tag. It leaves a soft, dewy finish that you can sport on its own, under makeup, or as a highlighter on top! A super soft long-sleeved bodysuit if you're looking for a Skims lookalike that's breathable, not see-through, *and* cheap, then this is for you. One reviewer went as far as to say that this alternative looks the *EXACT* same as the OG when side by side. 👀 E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops reviewers say are a great alternative to the pricier Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. They're designed to hydrate, make your skin all glowy, and either be used as a step in your skincare routine *or* a primer for your foundation or concealer. A beloved, slow-burning luxury-scented candle with top notes of jasmine, oud, and sandalwood that reviewers say is similar to Le Labo's Santal 33. One reviewer said it reminds them of a "luxury hotel," so it'll pair perfectly with your room service (McDonald's). A pair of oversized square sunglasses that'll make you look so stylish and expensive you should be sitting courtside at a Knicks game. They look like Bottega Veneta, but you'll be laughing all the way to the bank because these are a whole lot cheaper. Another bonus is that they come in many colors *and* have polarized lenses with UV protection! Etude's Dear Darling Water Tint because you can get both a lip stain *and* rosy blush from just one product? Some reviewers say it's similar to Benefit's Lip Tint because the color, pigment, and anti-smudge formula are "very, very close" to the OG — and who doesn't want a cheap two-in-one product? A bottle of NYX matte setting spray some reviewers prefer to the Urban Decay version, because it has no scent and a better spritzer — and they say it's more effective at keeping makeup in place (like around the mouth). And it's designed to prevent creasing and smearing, and control oil that naturally occurs throughout the day. A lightweight, cropped zip-up workout jacket to make everyone think you're a gym BADDIE while you're doing 12-3-30 or just running a quick errand. While you could opt for the Lululemon version, do you really wanna spend more than double? Doubtful. And a Lululemon-inspired longline sports bra you can wear for your next morning workout class, grocery run, or *even* your "let me rot all day in bed" moment. It's supportive, not too compressive, and lightweight, so it'll be delightful in warmer weather. Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots if you have a zit that sprouted up — just stick on these hydrocolloid patches that'll help suck up all the gunk. They're *just* like Hero's Mighty Patches, but way more affordable — and they come in three sizes so you're zit is covered whether it's a tiny bump or a major breakout. A set of cozy button-down PJs so when you step into your room after (what felt like) a never-ending day, you can slip on something superrr soft. They're a solid alternative to pricey brands like Eberjay and Skims, so you'll feel like you're relaxing in name-brand heaven. Your "lay for the foreseeable future" sessions are gonna hit different with these — just trust me.

Youthforia Blush — it reacts to the pH of your skin to create a color that fits perfectly for your tone so you don't have to worry about wearing the wrong shade!

This versatile product will give you full coverage while concealing uneven skin tones and leave you with a natural matte finish. Promising review: "I've tried dozens of different foundations and this one is my favorite. Normally I have a hard time with foundation breaking apart on my face and becoming flaky but this stays all day." —HolliePrice: $11.99 (available in 24 shades) A makeup correcting pen that uses micellar to erase any smudged makeup while keeping the rest intact. It's perfect for when you want to do your own winged liner and don't want cotton swabs piled high in your trash can. Promising review: "This eyeliner corrector is an absolute game changer! It is extremely easy to use and can fix eyeliner mistakes impeccably. Due to the shape of the corrector, it can correct thin and thick lines. After using it, be sure to clean the pen!" —LindaPrice: $22 OleHenriksen's Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment — chances are, if you're on #beautytok, you've seen this all over your FYP. This lip treatment will hydrate your pout while also providing it with a gorgeous tint of color and shine. The buttery formula is full of peptides and kokum butter, which can help soften your lips and smooth fine lines. Promising review: "Love this lip balm/treatment. I bought the 'strawberry sorbet' color/flavor, and it smells and tastes delicious. The product itself is very moisturizing and hydrating. I can pop it on with just lip liner, wear it by itself, or with a full lip look. Very versatile. It's been a great purse lippie. I've been using it so much that I had to force myself to put it away to use my other lip balms/treatments in my collection. Would repurchase!" —GogoramaPrice: $23 (available in eight shades) An illuminating L'Oréal lotion so you can enhance your skin's natural glow with its shimmering color tint.

You can even use it as a mascara and eyeshadow shield! Promising reviews: "This little star is a lifesaver! I use it with my liquid eyeliners.

Worth it!" —Jay"I have hooded eyes, and this tool allows me to make the cat eye/wings easier, more even, and symmetrical." —LisaPrice: $10 A brush set so you can use the right brushes to complete your look instead of using an eyeliner brush to do a smoky eyeshadow.

This set comes with: an angled liner brush, defined crease brush, blush brush, blurring concealing brush, angled foundation brush, and a tin review: "It has different brushes for any type of makeup product. Brushes are very soft and very easy to take care of. They're pretty cheap for such good quality, but I use them for daily makeup and they've worked great so far. Everything blends [really] smooth." —addiPrice: $14.99 An Urban Decay Naked neutral eyeshadow palette with soft pink hues that'll complement any type of skin tone.

Plus, you get a choice between matte, satin, and shimmer finishes! Promising review: "I love the soft pink shades offered in this palette. It blends well and offers a soft glow. The colors are wonderful and I love that they're easily blendable and buildable. If it's good enough for Kate Middleton on her wedding day, it's great for me." —KaylaPrice: $59 A heated lash curler if your lashes *refuse* to hold a curl. Wait for it to heat up, and just start from the base of your lashes and brush up. No more fallen soldiers! Promising review: "I have several lashes on each eye that refuse to curl, even using the Shiseido curler. The Grande Cosmetics heated lash curler has done the trick. You definitely need to have your mascara on for this to work the best!!!" —LesliePrice: $39 An Anastasia 3-in-1 brow definer with a triangle tip that has three different-sized edges. The flat side is for shading and outlining, the medium side is for filling and defining, and the fine tip can be used to create hairlike detail. Your brows are going to be the best in the game.

It stays on without smudging and lasts all day." —KathyPrice: $26 (available in 12 shades) E.l.f.'s Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've been wishing for wispy, long lashes that don't smudge, clump, or flake.

The best part, though, is that you can easily take it off at the end of the day, without even scrubbing! Or Benefit's Bad Gal Bang Mascara that lengthens AND gives volume to your eyelashes without clumping! The brush is designed to reach every part of your lashes from the roots to the corners to the tips. Nyx's Brow Glue so you can sculpt your arches to craft your desired shape, volume, and texture. From natural to feathered brows, you can truly achieve anything with this baby. It doesn't get tacky or flaky like other glues *and* holds up well against sweat! Promising review: "This was the first brow gel I have ever purchased, and I have not found any better. I purchased the clear one, and it doesn't leave my brows white or chunky. It is always windy where I live, so this product keeps my brows looking groomed even when the weather isn't the best. The packaging, the quality, and the price are all top tier. I hope they never discontinue this product because they knew what they were doing when they made this. 🔥" —JessicaPrice: $10 (available in five shades) Benefit Benetint that doubles as a cheek and lip stain! It's perfect to get that natural glow, but you can also layer it on for a more ~dramatic~ look.

This spray also helps to minimize the look of pores and feels totally weightless. Promising review: "This is a good setting spray as it does minimize the appearance of your pores and gives you that blurring effect. I wanna say it is a dewy finish, but just add the powder after you've sprayed it and make sure it's dry so you have that matte finish. It also mists evenly so you don't have big drops on your face that can ruin your makeup!!" —DanielaPrice: $16 (also available in full size for $35) Stila's All Day Liquid Eye Liner because it stays on ALL day — tried and tested by so many reviewers! So even if you decide to go to the gym with a ~glam~ look, your cat-eye will stay fierce. Promising review: "This is my favorite liquid eyeliner (I've tried a couple of drugstore options, as well as the Too Faced eyeliner). This one isn't too wet and glides on perfectly. This product makes it easy to make lines of any size. Very easy to control! The only con is I wish that the product lasted longer." —SophiePrice: $24 (available in eight shades) E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer which glides onto skin and blurs pores, giving you the perfect base layer for your makeup to grip onto. Its squalane formula keeps your skin hydrated while looking matte. Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer, to make your eyeshadow *pop* by enhancing the color. It also combats oil, prevents creasing, and holds up against sweat! Your beautiful eyeshadow look shan't be ruined. Promising review: "I have tried other eye shadow primers and always prefer this one. Something about this magical potion allows your eyeshadow to never quit, give up, or move out on you! I love the Original, it's like magic because you only need to apply a little bit and it invisibly holds your eyeshadow in place. What's creasing? I have not experienced creasing in YEARS ever since I've used this product. In fact, I've experienced my eye looks to be totally intact for 24+ hours when I've had a big night and 'forgot' to remove my makeup. I always use this magic and am amazed by how long this product lasts. I am not sure when I'm going to run out..." —Ulta CustomerPrice: $28 Essence's Quick Wing! Stamp Eyeliner for creating a perfect wing — if you're like me and usually have to redo your eyeliner a bajillion times, this is SO worth it. With this, you won't waste any eyeliner; all it takes is one stamp and DONE! Promising review: "I love it. I don't know how to draw eyeliner, but this is so easy to draw with." —AuroraPrice: $4.99 Sacheu's Peel Off Lip Liner stain because there's nothing worse than having to reapply your lip liner in the middle of the day, especially after you've worked so long on it. Just like a peel-off lip stain, this liner outlines your lips and won't budge until you actually want to take it off. Promising review: "Love this lip liner! I mainly use it as a liner rather than on my whole lip because I think it looks prettier that way. It doesn't take long to dry, and peeling off is quite fun. I love the shade MUAH-ve, I'm like light-medium toned and it's a beautiful dark pink/brown shade." —RachelPrice: $12 (available in seven shades) Tarte's Shape Tape Concealer that provides high coverage and lasts for up to 16 hours. And fear not, it doesn't crease or cake! It's perfect for when you "accidentally" stayed up until 6 a.m. watching Severance, but you can't have your boss knowing. A shea butter–infused cream-to-powder E.l.f. multi-stick for on-the-go touchups because this lil thing *triples* as a blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow. (Say what!?) It's perfect to get that natural glow, but you can also layer it on for a more ~dramatic~ look. Fenty Shimmer SkinStick providing highlight for your cheeks and even doubling as a shimmery bronzer should you want! You'll (as Queen RiRi would say) shine bright like a diamond. 💍 BareMinerals Loose Powder Foundation — it brings sheer to full face coverage for a flawless~er~ look (bc you're already flawless)! It feels weightless and doesn't cake, so you can have that natural feel no matter what type of skin you have. Buxom lip-plumping polish to plump your lips like a temporary lip injection for that Kylie Jenner look. While your pout is lookin' luscious, the Vitamin A and E formula will also help keep it hydrated.

L'Oréal acquires majority stake in popular British skincare brand
Aging is a privilege, but I work really hard to make sure that my skin doesn't show off that privilege. I spend an absurd amount of money on skincare products. But it's just a tiny contribution toward the $26 billion in sales projected this year for the skincare industry. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter I have my favorites among the legacy brands sold in drugstores and department stores, but I'm often swayed by newer brands I see on Instagram. Every day, I scroll through a parade of serums, creams, and more that promise to firm, lift, tighten, and moisturize my skin. I click "buy" more than I care to admit, especially if there's scientific evidence that it works (and even if the science goes over my head). The ever-growing popularity of #SkinTok has prompted some legacy brands to work a bit harder to stand out among the sea of skincare competitors, especially when it comes to capturing the attention of Gen Z, which craves clean beauty products. Related: Ulta Beauty issues stern warning as consumers switch gears According to a report by Revieve, an AI-powered beauty and wellness tech company, 56% of Gen Z want fragrance-free beauty, and 33% want to ditch the parabens. Vegan beauty and skincare options? Yes, please. Legacy skincare is listening. One of my all-time favorite brands just made a major move to ensure that the younger generation is "worth it" by increasing its portfolio of science-backed skincare. Legacy beauty brand L'Oréal (LRLCY) has announced that it signed an agreement for the acquisition of a majority stake in Medik8, a British skincare brand. The deal was for an undisclosed sum, although reports suggest the deal is valued at around $1.1 billion. European mid-market private equity firm Inflexion will stay on as a minority stakeholder. Medik8 sales were in the ballpark of $70 to $80 million in 2024, as reported by Business of Fashion, even without a presence in Sephora or Ulta. The brand will be joining the Luxe Division at L'Oréal, which currently houses premium skincare brands including Kiehl's, Youth to the People, and Aesop. "We are delighted to welcome Medik8 to the L'Oréal family. As a premium skincare range, with high levels of proven efficacy at an accessible price point, Medik8 perfectly complements our existing skincare portfolio," said L'Oréal Luxe President Cyril Chapuy in a statement. "We share a strong belief in Medik8's global potential and are excited to embark on this journey together, to build a powerful and impactful brand presence worldwide," he added. Related: Drunk Elephant beauty brand suffers sales drop amid big shakeup Medik8, founded by scientist Elliot Isaacs, is backed by scientific research and innovation. Its premium skincare products include the best-selling Crystal Retinal Serum and its Liquid Peptides Advanced MP Face Serum (the latter was currently sold out on the Medik8 site at the time of this writing). Nearly all its products are developed and manufactured in the ISO-certified Innovation Center just outside of London. Certain generations need no introduction to L'Oréal. The famous L'Oréal Paris tagline "Because you're worth it" likely echoes in many Boomers', Gen Xers', and Millennials' brains. But Gen Z? Unless it's on Instagram or #SkinTok, where products are being hawked by favorite celebrities and influencers with a direct link to buy, even legacy cosmetic brands can find themselves lost amid a sea of products. That's where science-backed Medik8 comes in. Aside from getting the nod by dermatologists and beauty editors, celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Rosie Huntingon-Whiteley are known to use Medik8 products as part of their skincare routines - specifically, the Medik8's R-Retinoate Cream.

Cosmetics - she is a Medik8 fan. And she has over 55 million followers on Instagram and nearly 16 million on TikTok, many of whom are likely eager to replicate her glowing complexion. It's worth noting that Bieber's social media stats alone eclipse the follower counts of both L'Oréal and Medik8 many times over. "This is an exciting day for Medik8," said Medik8 CEO Simon Coble. "I am delighted to be joining forces with a company which shares our vision for the brand's future growth and whose core values align with our deep commitment to science, innovation and above all, results without compromise. I look forward to the next stage in Medik8's journey, as we work together to bring our innovative products to a wider audience." L'Oréal's acquisition of Medik8 will likely be completed in the next few months, pending regulatory approvals and other conditions.

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Amazon Promising review: "I ran out of the Drunk Elephant bronzing drops, but I didn't want to spend another forty dollars, so I purchased this instead, and I am so glad I did. I like to mix it with my moisturizer or my tinted sunscreen to give me that bronzed, natural glow. This is exactly like the Drunk Elephant one and I will definitely be repurchasing." —Todd U. Get it from Amazon for $5.99. Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can't be beat, so I'm buying more." —HAC Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both)! Read more about nail care, including how nail strengtheners may help nails, at Mayo Clinic. Promising reviews: "My Dior nail glow ran out and I saw this brand had a [lookalike} for that. I liked this color even more... Excellent everyday, clean-looking polish. Seems stronger than Essie." —reviewer22 "Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I'm guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I'm nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty." —Andi Get it from Amazon for $5.36. Promising reviews: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while, so I love getting whiffs of it throughout the day. My hair is softer and doesn't seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair and then after it's dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I'll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value, too; I've been using it pretty consistently since purchasing, and I've barely made a dent in it. Love it!" —Noley "Coming from someone with very coarse 4c hair.. this product is heaven-sent. Extremely satisfied. Sticking to this product and this product only from now on, lol." —Danielle Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas). Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette in action. Promising review: "Best [alternative] for the Make Up For Ever HD Skin Face Essentials Longwear Full Face Cream palette that costs around $80. This one has less color options than the Make Up For Ever palette, but it's definitely the best [alternative], and for the price, it works amazingly. The blush and bronzer last hours on my skin — after setting spray, of course. I mix the two blushes on the back of my hand, and it's a good color for me. Also, I recommend warming the product on the back of your hand; that way, it's easier to blend and apply. Even without doing that, it is very easy to blend." —Lorraine Get it from Amazon for $8. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "I used to use the Becca under-eye product, and this one is way better. You can sheer it out and warm it up on your hand. Don't need to use a lot, and it adds a lot of brightness under concealer." —Ariel O "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). Promising review: "Since trying this product, I will never go back to anything else. For years, I've been using Better Than Sex by Too Faced, and I absolutely loved it. But as you know, it's at a higher price point. I was looking for a cheaper option that worked the same, if not better. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this. For me... THIS WORKS BETTER! I've tried both the black and brown options as well as the waterproof options and [I'm] blown away by every one of them!! This is my new favorite mascara! Makes my lashes look like I had them professionally done." —chela1389 Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown and as a three-pack). Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Watch on TikTok as one user goes from skeptic to believer! BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord considers herself a fan: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact, I 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 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 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). Promising review: "I bought this and my daughter immediately tried to steal it because she thought it was the real thing. Ha! This is so easy to use and a little goes a long way. This will last for a while. And was a fraction of the price of the brand name." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three shades). Promising review: "This stuff is no joke. I like to use one product for my full face for a quick makeup routine, as eyeshadow, blush, and highlight all at once. When I tell you I need exactly two dots for my whole face, I couldn't be more serious! It has a different, more glossy texture than a Rare Beauty blush, but the pigment is much stronger. Comes off very dewy and kind of glossy but can be made matte with powder. The only thing I will say is that if you overwork it, there can be small lifted spots, which happened to me when I first tried it because I used too much and then had to try to blend so much. Already purchased another color. Love E.l.f. makeup!" —oscar Julian zapotitla Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in 12 shades). Promising review: "These are fantastic. I bought all four, and I hope they add more colors. They are giving Patrick Ta, but better, at a fraction of the cost. They really last all day individually, but if you want you can layer them for even more color saturation. The textures are great, easy application. The two pinks are very pigmented and vibrant, so go easy at first. Highly recommend." —Joan A. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in four shades). Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed, Promising review: "This sunscreen is a gem. I was not expecting to love it as much as I do. I absolutely love E.l.f. products, but I rarely try their skincare. Something told me to try this. When I put it on, it gave a smooth silicone finish and feel. I was faithful to Supergoop but didn't want to spend as much as the product is listed for. I will continue to use this sunscreen; it has been one of the best I've ever tried. I've been into skincare since I was 15; I am 37, and for me to say that this product is a gold mine is rare." —Angelina S Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "I have used Moroccanoil for years and decided to give this a shot. This is better than Moroccanoil and I will be buying again. It keeps my hair soft and smooth even in summer humidity. Great product." —Caitlin K. "This product is a legit alternative to the Ouai hair oil. They smell identical, they feel exactly the same, and they left my hair shiny and soft. And most importantly it saved me some money for the future." —Brianna Reed Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in packs of two and four). Promising reviews: "Better than Starface!!! These stick extremely well and actually pull out and absorb the gunk. Plus, they come with soooooo many." —chey "I love these and wish they had them around when I was a teenager! I literally use them as facial decorations in addition to hiding blemishes and, my teenage son has no problem wearing them because they effectively minimize zits!!" —Monica LivaClean is a small business specializing in acne solutions and skincare. Get a pack of 240 from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four shapes/colors and in multipacks). Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely fantastic! Don't let the low price throw you off because this can do better, in my opinion, than 'the elephant stuff'! I had those itty bitty bumps right under my bottom lip on my chin and four days after using this stuff with micro-needling, they were gone! I have always taken good care of my skin and now that I am 43, I am just now realizing that I did a better job than I thought I had. I want to KEEP doing doing good stuff for my skin but not pay a fortune. This formula has a fresh orange-like smell to it and goes on very easily with a dropper. It dries within a minute and soaks in completely. I haven't had any irritation from the product but I had been using 'the elephant stuff' with similar ingredients prior to this, so it could be my skin was used to it. Overall, I am EXTREMELY pleased with this purchase." —AudibleAddicted And SeoulCeuticals is a small biz! Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This is just like the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Stick — but I like it better. It's less than half the price, the packaging is cuter, the smaller applicator makes it easy to get under my eyes — and it smells like clean water and rose petals. It's hydrating, cooling, and non-greasy. It makes you instantly look and feel more awake. Love it." —Janelle Patricia Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a collagen formula). Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. It has light to medium coverage. It lasts all day. The oils in my skin usually breakdown foundation but this one stays in place and after a little blotting looks good as new... I just recently purchased the Fenty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint in 6 and like it, but I actually prefer the Wet N Wild Tinted Hydrator better. You can buy six of these for the same price as the Fenty. I'm so happy I tried this." —Nancy Get it from Amazon for $5.47+ (available in eight shades and also in packs of two). It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and squalene for a boost of hydration! Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I've gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes, I use it under foundation, and sometimes, I use it solo with a bit of concealer. I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" —mapagill "If you like Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone, which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it; you will be happy you did!" —Amazonreview Get it from Amazon for $11.20+ (available in 12 shades). Amazon Promising review: "Ok, so I absolutely LOVE this stuff! I tried it on a whim after hearing a few different people rave about it. I had tried a similar product from Rhode and was not really 'wowed' by it, but thought it was still a nice product. This milky toner, however, blew me away. I apply it after washing my face with my hands and gently pat it in, and it just leaves a moisturized, dewy finish. I also have recently started mixing it in with my foundation when I apply it to my makeup and it's been a game changer. Since it's winter and I live in the northeast, I have had issues with my foundation being really dry lately — this has solved it. It leaves a beautiful satin finish. For the price point, amount of product, and versatility, you just can't beat it. Will be repurchasing!" —talon12 Get it from Amazon for $14.99. Promising reviews: "I have the Dior lip oil, and I actually like this one better! It leaves my lips softer and leaves the perfect tint on my lips. Sometimes I combine with a lipstick for extra color." —Emily R. "I really like this and the applicator! It's so fun and cute. I like the texture and the feel of it on my lips. It feels thicker, and it doesn't come off too quickly. I got the color supermodel. It's not too pink like it looks and I wanted it to be natural, so it's perfect. Will be repurchasing." —Martha R. Get it from Amazon for $6.91+ (available in 14 shades). Promising review: "Okay so first nothing will make you 'poreless,' but this stuff is amazing. Will even out fine lines and help with super porous areas; my T-zone [has really visible] pores and this definitely gave me a boost in confidence. I would highly recommend. Especially to those not to familiar with makeup, this is a game changer. Honestly it works better than my $30 primer from Urban Decay and lasts all day. I am oily so I usually blot some powder on later in the day but if you have dry skin this could be the ultimate game changer!" —Olivia Get it from Amazon for $10. Promising review: "I have tried IGK, Living Proof, Not Your Mother's, Amika, and so many others but THIS LASTS THE LONGEST! I am impressed by this product. Don't listen to the haters because I have severely fine and oily hair and this product allows me to last for one week without washing and it gives me volume..." —473X Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in the original six shades and various pack sizes). Amazon Promising reviews: "Love this product. I always use it, and I am a sweaty person 😅 I sweat easily.. not even kidding. I compare it to the One Size and I have to say that I do like this one much better. It really doesn't budge." —Zully B "This works just as well as the One Size. I have very oily skin and need a high-quality setting spray, and this one works amazing! Skip the expensive one and try this!!" —Shopgirl Get it from Amazon for $10.98 (also available in a pack of two). Bek O'Connell / BuzzFeed This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING. I have been bleaching my hair for 12 years. My hair has never looked or felt better before using this. It is so soft and shiny... only using this once a week. It has worked better on my hair than Olaplex or other expensive treatments. I'll never use anything else!" —Craig Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. Amazon, Promising reviews: "This stuff literally saved my skin! I started using it daily. Especially after gym sessions. My skin started clearing up and I have used it every day and I have never looked back. This has become a staple in my skincare routine. I use it after toner and before serum in the morning and then I spray it after the gym. It's better than the Tower 28 one." —Shay G. "Does the EXACT same as Tower28 for a fraction of the price! I love it, my face feels refreshed. Highly recommend, no shade to Tower28, they are great, but this is cheaper and if you're on a budget, use this alternative! Great for after work, the gym, or existing in these hot summer months. If you have sensitive skin, it's gentle." —Paul R. Get it from Amazon for $17.46. It comes with a smoothing nozzle, styling nozzle, and diffuser nozzle. Promising reviews: "Great powerful hair dryer. Great price too. Have had Dysons in the past and nothing but trouble with them. This is far better and very affordable, and no problems with it. (Retired hairdresser)." —bamzee "Purchased this dryer to help dry my granddaughter's type 4C hair. Drys quickly and cuts down on her squirming. She hates having her hair done. Shortened the drying time significantly. Would recommend." —Jiggilypuff Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in eight colors). Promising reviews: "This lip balm is as smooth as butta, and not to mention smells great. I apply it at night and wake up with soft, hydrated, plump lips. Bonus: if you apply hyaluronic acid on your lips beforehand — chef's kiss. As for the price, I wish it had way more product, but it is cheaper than the Laneige lip mask and way better, in my humble opinion." —María "This lip balm is a great alternative if you do not want to pay a ton of money for the Laneige and Summer Fridays lip balms. It is super moisturizing and left my lips super smooth and soft. One of the best e.l.f. products I have tried and it is a wonderful price. Even though it is pretty small, it lasts a good amount of time. I would definitely recommend." —Lance Z. Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five styles). Promising reviews: "Love this! In my opinion, better than Laneige at a fraction of the price. A bit thicker, which I like. Even though it's a sleeping mask, I use it throughout the day to keep my lips moist and soft. Will keep ordering again and again." —Michaela "This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in five scent combos). Amazon Promising reviews: "Love these better than my glow recipe! Better because it doesn't have the smell... Makes my skin feel amazing and so juicy! Great value for the money." —Tiffany T. "I've used Glow Recipe's Watermelon Dew Drops, and while I liked the product I wasn't too fond of the strong scent or the price point. The texture, finish, and feel of this product is pretty much identical, but without the fragrance and at a better value. Smooth, absorbs quickly, works well as a lightweight primer that doesnt pill with makeup, and subtly evens skin tone over time." —K.C. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. Promising reviews: "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... 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?!??... This Zombie mask is every bit as magical, with better results in my opinion... Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure, both price and results-wise." —Dana D. Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $19.43. Promising reviews: "I've tried just about every eyebrow gel on the market, from high-end to drugstore. This is not only [an alternative] for Benefit's brow gel and Glossier Boy Brow, it's better! So much better and way cheaper." —Amazon Customer "OK, I was skeptical as I love my ABH Brow Freeze. But a friend did my makeup and used it and I was really impressed. So, I got some and played with it on my own. It is so much smoother to glide through my brows. I work it through back and front, then again with a clean spoolie. I LOVE the results. It also washes out really well (even if I don't use a makeup wipe)." —Miss Jordan Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in five shades). Amazon, New to cleansing balms? Start by warming the product up with your dry fingertips, massage in circular motions on dry skin, then rinse with lukewarm water. If using as part of a double cleansing routine, follow this up with a water-based facial cleanser. Promising review: "I've loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1–2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis. I wanted something just as good at a lower price, and I FOUND IT! This cleanser absolutely melts away makeup and deep cleans the skin without any drying or eye irritation! It smells great, and a little goes a loooonng way — I'm in love!" —Amazon Customer Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products. Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
