If You Have A Frugal Mind And A Bougie Heart, You'll Probably Fall In Love With These 36 Things

Slingback heels because they've got the same quiet luxury style Chanel has, but without the high-end designer price tag. These beauties are versatile and elegant, and reviewers say they're extremely comfortable, too! An elegant set of square wineglasses perfect as you ~wine~ down the day with a glass of rosé during a gorgeous sunset or casually sip on a fancy mocktail. An affordable stainless steel face roller and gua sha set (which can range as high as $250!) — magnificent beauty tools that can help reduce puffiness, reduce inflammation, and define jawlines and cheekbones. And because they're designed with stainless steel vs the classic jade stone, they're able to get *much* colder for a more soothing cooling effect! A little spa sesh for under $100? Sign. Me. Up! A striped matching set with a certain kind of vibe you'd find in a certain, boho-style store that would easily sell something this cute for double the price. Reviewers say that both the top and the shorts are lightweight and breathable, so don't let the long sleeves deter you. This is the luxe (-looking) loungewear you were meant to stroll around town in! A set of luxe extra-soft bed sheets reviewers compare to high-quality hotel sheets! These are perfect for hot sleepers because they maintain their cool *and* their quality over time. They also come in a TON of colors, so don't be afraid to get more than one set! And a Kitsch 100% satin pillowcase to ensure your hair and skin protection continues while you're sleeping! With satin, there's less friction, which means no more tangled hair (thank goodness!), and the cooling effect can help you sleep soundly. A flirty corset lace-up sundress giving major Bridgerton vibes if you ask me... minus the custom-made price. In this era, you don't need to be royalty to have a stunning, great-quality dress! Plus, it looks extremely similar to the House of CB version that costs over $200 👀. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug to make any room a tad more sophisticated. BTW, if you put it by your bed, your feet will be super cozy when you step out. The cult- (and BuzzFeed editor-) favorite Essence Lash Princess mascara for long lashes without the price of extensions or false strips. The trick is the wand's conic-shaped fiber brush that's designed to separate, sculpt, and lengthen your lashes *without* clumping. This bestseller has clearly earned the 215,000+ 5-star ratings! And since we're saving money and *not* making beauty appointments, some Vafee Lip-Plumping Gloss to give your lips the look of a plumper pout and the feel of all-day hydration. It's collagen and vitamin E-rich formula has reviewers obsessed with their *very* visible results! A layered necklace set that makes it easy to add some oomph to your 'fit. These gorgeous chains are separate, too, so you can wear them individually and adjust them as much as you'd like! Reviewers are obsessed with how great the quality is at such a low price point. An elevated laptop tote bag perfect for my 9-5 fashionistas, but great for my coffee shop dwellers, too. Either way, you *will* be stopped and complimented on this bag! This beaut has tons of room for not only your laptop, but also your makeup bag, books, and daily essentials. Some reviewers even compare this to (and favor it over) the Béis Work Tote that sells for $128! A roll of marble contact paper you can use literally everywhere! Not kidding; this looks good on nightstands, countertops, picture frames, bar carts — the list is never-ending. This renter-friendly peel-and-stick paper will turn any drab thing into something that looks like you paid hundreds (maybe thousands!) for it. And some thick velvet slipcovers so you don't have to spend big bucks on a brand-new couch. It'll look like you did just that by the time you're done! And to ensure they stay in place, these covers have nonslip straps, too. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses with stunning gold detail that makes 'em look pretty dang similar to those $400 Miu Miu shades you've been seeing your favorite celebs rocking lately. This timeless shape oozes "extravagance and wealth, dawling" and they have UV 400 protection on top of it all!? They're clearly a wardrobe essential at this point. And a pearl sunglasses chain to stylishly keep your sunnies or eyeglasses within reach. Convenient *and* fancy? I'm in! A cut crystal–style cocktail shaker you'll want to pull out and show off any chance you get. It's heavy, durable, and GORE-GOUS in person according to reviewers. A versatile floral mesh top with a mock neck and long sleeves, making it *perfect* for layering! Wear this beauty under your favorite dress or on top of a basic spaghetti strap tank, and you'll be bound to have heads turning and people asking, "Where did you get that top!?" Many reviewers even compare it to a much pricier brand that shall not be named 👀. Battery-powered picture lights because 1. they'll make your home feel like an art gallery, and 2. absolutely no wiring is needed! If you want to stand and stare at the photo of your cat like you're at the MOMA, you now have the perfect lighting to do so. Cult-favorite Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drop — a must, simply because spending $40 on Dior's lip oil when reviewers say that this works just as great (if not better) would be preposterous. This lip oil hydrates and shines like you've spent the big bucks *and* works great as a lipstick topper, too! Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume — it's inspired by YSL's Black Opium! It features similar warm notes like Jasmine, coffee, and, of course, vanilla. With sweet hints of mandarin and pink peppercorn, too. Dossier's version is long-lasting (up to eight hours!) and has elegant packaging that's worthy of display. But you know what it doesn't have? A $100 price tag. A glamorous set of feather-trim pajamas reviewers say are ridiculously comfortable and oh-so chic. I mean... just look at that top! You might need to plan a pajama party just to show it off. A draped, off-the-shoulder midi dress that'll have you strutting and posing like a high-fashion model. It's the perfect option for any weddings you've got coming up. A pair of pointed-toe flats because they're breathable, comfortable, machine-washable, and — surprise! — not a pair of Rothy's, the high-end brand that claims all the same at a much higher price point. Rock these as your go-to office shoes *and* wear them as you galavant through Italy singing "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of". The limit truly does not exist. A beautiful tennis bracelet giving Swarovski kind of sparkle for less than $20! Reviewers are obsessed with this bracelet thanks to the secure clasp and durability from constant wear. If you've been eyeing the real deal, this is the *perfect* way to test the waters! A pack of scented shower steamers because fully upgrading to a filtered aromatherapy showerhead has a heavy price tag. These will turn your shower into a place of luxurious bliss with scents like citrus, grapefruit, and more energizing aromas. Or a eucalyptus bundle to hang in your shower for soothing, spa-like energy and a fancy hotel-level of relaxation. It'll provide a delightful smell while you spend your everything-shower dreaming of white sand beaches and champagne in first class. A faux leather belt because Gucci isn't the only one who can rock this buckle style. This beauty costs less than a designer keychain and will get ten times the use. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings for anyone who wants the luxe look of Bottega Veneta without spending tons (and I mean TONS) of $$$. These gorgeous earrings will make just as big of a statement — just take a look at the nearly 3,000 5-star reviews! A shabby chic ruched comforter set truly fit for royalty (aka you). The set comes complete with two matching pillowcases — each made of ultra-soft and fluffy material and giving a luxurious look you wouldn't expect to come from Amazon. A silky satin midi skirt featuring an elastic waistband, so there are absolutely no worries about comfort or fit. Rooftop photoshoot season is upon us, and now you have the *perfect* skirt for the occasion. A glamorous ruched top and pants set because these show-stopping trousers deserve to be seen by all! The set comes in A LOT of different colors and patterns (seriously, there are more than 30 options!) and can be dressed up *or* down, too. A 10-piece set of rose gold makeup brushes with incredibly soft bristles that'll make for a seamless, airbrushed makeup look. Did you get your makeup professionally done? Nope. But it'll sure look like it! Bonus points for these brushes being gorgeous to look at and comparable to the much pricier Artis brushes. A pair of sleek motion-sensor cabinet lights that'll be useful when prepping dinner, and also give your kitchen a more elevated look. Who says you can't get that fancy hotel vibe at home? Chic wide-frame cat eye sunnies so stylish, it kind of doesn't matter what you're wearing below because you'll automatically look like you're heading to a meeting with Anna Wintour with these on. And BTW, these are the *perfect* alternative for a designer pair that's $300+. Major win! A saddle shoulder bag that's the perfect option for anyone who doesn't want to spend thousands on similar designer versions. It comes with both a short shoulder bag strap and a longer crossbody strap. Reviewers say it's even cuter in person, too!

An Essence Lash Princess mascara to give you lashes so dramatic, no one will believe you when you tell them you bought it for less than $5 on Amazon. No need to spend hours wrestling with falsies to get the long lashes of your dreams. Reviewers also rave that this lasts all day. Thank goodness! You have better things to do than reapply throughout the day.

A reversible floral swimsuit so adorable, it's gonna become your new go-to suit. Paying the price for one suit and practically getting two?! Now you can use the money you would've spent on buying a second bathing suit toward doing another fun summertime water activity! A set of press-on nails reviewers adore because, unlike other brands of press-on nails, these actually look like they were done professionally at the salon. Ya know, all without having to put on real clothes and spend half your paycheck on routine salon visits. A pair of wireless Bluetooth earbuds that are waterproof, come with different silicone earbuds so you can find your perfect size, and happen to be just as good as more expensive headphones on the market at a fraction of the cost (*cough AirPods cough*). A time-marked water bottle because you have a hectic schedule, and sometimes, hydration isn't top of mind! But!!! It's important, so let this pretty bottle help remind you throughout the day! A set of amber glass soap dispensers that'll look a lot nicer next to your sink than the original liquid soap container you bought from the store. Just transfer your soap into these, and you've got yourself an easy, inexpensive, but sleek-looking upgrade. Peel-and-stick floor tile for giving old, outdated flooring a shake-up without needing a professional to come over and take out your floors. A pair of backless mule slides you'll find yourself slipping on every chance you get.

(Hint: It's you!) A gorgeous ring that looks like it costs big $$$, but get actually less than $15. Yup, that's right. We won't tell anyone your secret, though, if you don't. And on the subject of expensive-looking jewelry, a tennis bracelet for rocking a pretty piece of wrist candy bound to make everyone around you so very jelly. A crochet cover-up that's bound to make you feel like you walked right off the runway at a fashion show and right on over to the beach/pool. Will it be socially acceptable to wear this as like...a sweater when the summer ends? Asking for a friend. A ridiculously soft throw blanket you're gonna want to snuggle up with ALL. THE. TIME. Reviewers love this because it's similar to the popular Barefoot Dreams blanket at a fraction of the cost! An overnight lip mask trio designed to help hydrate and nourish your kisser overnight so it feels nice and soft when you wake up. Reviewers love that these are similar to the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and come with THREE masks for a fraction of the cost of one mask. A privacy window film that can block up to 96% of UV rays and reduce up to 79% of glare, which may help you save a little bit on energy bills! Plus, it looks a little like having your own stained glass window, creating a beautiful rainbow effect on sunny days. So many reasons to buy this, so just do it already! A set of stylish belts to pair with your favorite bottoms, dress, or skirt and bring them to the next level on the cuteness scale. They look expensive, but they're truly a steal. A set of embossed glass mugs that'll make sipping hot beverages or eating a Pinterest-worthy breakfast parfait feel like a million-dollar experience. A crystal wineglass set perfect for enjoying your favorite vino, cocktails, or soft drinks. Whatever it is you like, it'll make you feel so fancy as you sip.

A pair of geode-style bookends for keeping your favorite reads standing tall and neat on your shelf with some help from these gorg weights. A faux suede pouf that makes for a lovely decorative piece in your home, a comfy little floor cushion, AND an excellent footrest when you want to truly kick your feet up and relax. As if that wasn't enough, it's ALSO a storage bag to keep things like towels, blankets, and toys stuffed away neatly and easily. A set of decorative wall mirrors, because devoting a wall in your home to some seriously luxe-looking mirrors so you can look at your luxe-looking self in adoration is what it's all about, baby. A pair of braided heel sandals ready to be your showstopping plus-one at brunch and dinner dates with the besties, warm weather weddings, or even strutting around the office. A seal-tight glass storage container perfect for holding leftovers or transporting lunches to work. It's basically been scientifically proven that eating out of an aesthetic container makes you less likely to run out and buy an overpriced chopped salad. A rotating cosmetic organizer, because news flash: Keeping all your makeup products stashed in the corner of your bathroom counter isn't the aesthetic you think it is. It's actually not any sort of aesthetic. Give your beauty items a spot of their own in this chic piece! A pair of round sunglasses that'll make you feel like the coolest person ever (which you are), but sometimes you just need a luxe-like pair of sunnies to really help drive that point home.

36 Things That Work So Well, It'll Feel Like Cheating

A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes. The lightweight, color-adapting formula blends so seamlessly under makeup that your old concealer will throw itself out. An undetectable mouse jiggler for anyone with a micromanager who's a little too invested in your online status. This will make it seem like you're active while you take a much-needed break. A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — oh and makes your eyelashes look like tall, beautiful skyscrapers. A Kerasal fungal nail renewal formula to revitalize your tootsies by thickening nails and reducing discoloration. Feel free to plan to wear open-toed shoes next week — reviewers started noticing a visible difference within days. A jar of O'Keeffe's Working Hands cream with beeswax and glycerin to give you the baby soft hands you haven't seen since you were, well, a baby. A shoe stretch spray if you have a pair of gorgeous loafers or boots you love but never of the agonizing pain that comes with it. This spray will gradually stretch them out without staining or fading and is likely more effective than the freezer trick. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face. Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to give your furniture an impossibly lustrous shine previously never seen in your home. The carnauba wax and beeswax enhance and protect your wood from drying out, so you can keep your great-grandmother's rocking chair in tip-top shape with just a few swipes. Hope's Perfect Sink solution that cleans and then basically creates a water-repellant force field over your sink to protect it from stains and damage. It works on everything from stainless steel to porcelain (along with cast iron, corian, composite, acrylic, etc.), ensuring that your sink rinses clean and shines like new, no matter how many cups of coffee you pour on it. Sue Storm would approve! Slow cooker liners so you don't have to yank the heavy pot out of the cooker to clean it. You can also use the heat-resistant liners to make two hearty stews at once. Bags! Gotta love 'em. Or oil-proof paper air fryer liners because I know you've been ignoring those burnt crumbs and french fry grease, hoping some enterprising elves might take care of it. Sadly, they're all busy baking cookies and mending shoes, but you can at least avoid future cleaning with the magic of disposable liners. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum body cream loved by Zoomers for its incredible smell and powerful hydration powers. The formula uses caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to firm and moisturize skin, leaving it glowing and smelling like a tropical getaway. An electric scrubber with a nice handle so you can clean your kitchen sans wrist pain. The handy device will make quick work of your dirty pans, stove top, tile floors, or whatever else you'd prefer not to scrub by hand. Or a set of drill brushes so effective, you'll be shocked how clean your bathroom used to be. Why spend the energy scrubbing when pressing a drill button will do the trick? It's so important to delegate. A beloved, Shark Tank-featured Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier made with special padding to help you comfortably lift up to 50 pounds worth of bags on each shoulder, so now you really can do it all in one trip. Garbage disposal cleaner that's not only easy to use, but also very entertaining. Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear, and bam! You can admire your lemony fresh drain that was basically cleaned for you. A dog paw-cleaning device to keep Spot's feet squeaky clean, because you can't exactly put hand sanitizer on a dog. (Seriously, do not do that.) Fill the tube up with soapy water and let the soft bristles scrub away the day's walk. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers for people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested. A set of dermaplaning razors that will make quick work of peach fuzz, stray hairs, and eyebrows in need of a touch-up. They're designed with micro-guards, which means you don't have to worry about nicking yourself, even if you don't have the steadiest hand. Now, you can extend the time between threading appointments — or skip them altogether. A sweet little fish who swims around in your humidifier tank, inhibiting the growth of buildup for up to 30 days. Now you can go longer between washes and maybe avoid the dreaded brown sludge that appears in some humidifiers. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent the dreaded "all my clothes are now pink from this one stray red sock" debacle. These handy sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds so you can keep enjoying your white tees even if you're not sorting clothes into lights and darks. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger that works as your personal plumber to pull up hair, food debris, and other gross stuff lurking in your pipes. The plunger works on any drain small enough to be fully covered, and the flexible bellow is as much as 10 times more effective than a regular rubber cup plunger. Mama mia! This thing is useful. A self-cleaning litter box you can even control from your smartphone — sitting on the couch has never been so productive. It scoops the unmentionables into a separate compartment that you can throw away at your leisure. A Conair handheld steamer that I personally swear by for turning wrinkly balls of fabric back into the pristine garments they were before you left them in the bottom of your closet. It heats up quickly and removes wrinkles in minutes. And you really can't beat the price for how effective it is. Or if you wanna be really speedy, a bottle of Downy wrinkle release spray you can just spray on and watch the wrinkles magically vamoose. A WD-40 pen that provides all the same benefits as the spray can (quieting squeaks, lubricating hinges, preventing rust, etc.) but now with an easy-to-maneuver, precise pen tip. You could just walk around your home, touching up every hinge you see! A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum for anyone who wants to feel like a member of the Jetsons. While it won't clean your whole home like Rosey, it'll act as a super effective replacement for a dust pan. Just sweep dirt over to the machine, and it'll suck it right up. A garlic rocker that's faster and easier to use than a traditional garlic press. It's also waayy easier to clean — best not dwell on the trauma of trying to fit a sponge into one of those things. 😬 A jewelry cleaning pen you can count on to add new shine to your gems; no costly trip to the jeweler required. As someone who refuses to take off rings before washing dishes, showering, etc., I need this! A roll of 10M wood grain tape perfect for frameless mirrors that could use a little more panache. The waterproof adhesive is easy to apply and does a convincing impression of wood grain. When you're ready for a change, the tape peels off easily. A closet organizer *and* shirt folder that will finally address your — quite frankly — alarming dresser. Instead of balled-up tees crammed into drawers, you can enjoy neatly folded T-shirts that are easy to flip through. A windshield cleaning mop with a long handle so you can fiiiinnaalllyyy get that tough-to-reach spot at the bottom. Maybe now you'll actually be able to see where you're going! A game-changing veggie chopper that will make quick work of your prep. Just add your veggies, slam down the lid, enjoy freshly chopped produce, and then throw the device in the dishwasher when you're done. Now you'll be crying tears of joy instead of tears from onion cutting. A Chom Chom pet hair remover if you'd prefer your furniture to be fur-free. It has a sticky roller (no wasteful adhesive strips) that clings to hair and deposits it into a built-in compartment. You can tell Fido to stay off the couch all you want, but dogs don't speak Human! Instead, use this reusable roller to reclaim your seating. A Marshmallow Whip Maker loved by TikTokers thanks to its ability to turn your hum-drum cleanser into light, frothy foam. Foam = easier to apply and less friction bothering your skin. An antibacterial toothpaste that freshens breath and removes plaque. I know, I know — brushing a pet's teeth is a drag, but can you imagine not brushing your teeth for a week, let alone for your whole life? Fido is counting on you to keep their chompers shiny.
