Trade your pajamas for an equally comfy (and errand-appropriate) lounge set. This one is made with a cozy waffle-knit material, which is ironic considering you'll adore this two-piece just as much as the doughy, syrup-drenched breakfast dessert. Promising review: "I really like the fabric of this one, and it's perfect for fall and winter in Texas.

This tailored vest and wide-leg pantsuit is easy peasy and looks super put-together. Promising review: "I wore this outfit at New York Fashion Week, and it was perfect with a black turtleneck underneath. Made of comfortable fabric, and the fabric did not wrinkle in my suitcase. Great value for your money and was able to fit in while in New York City." —Kelly QuinnGet it from Amazon $46.65+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 14 colors). Upgrade a basic tee with one that's slightly snazzier. This classic V-neck with slight ruching gives the illusion of a wrap silhouette but won't skimp on comfort. Promising review: "I love this top! It is very comfortable and stretchy without being baggy, and the top doesn't gape is actually my third of these tops, and I have it in white, grey, and now the teal color. FYI, the white one is fabulous because it's not see-through!" — it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 16–24 and in six colors) Add a pop of color to any outfit with a bold lip. This Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint contains a lightweight (but buildable!) formula that provides rich pigment in one swipe, not feeling cakey like the matte lipsticks you've splurged on in the past. Extra kudos are in order for a ~precision applicator~ that makes filling in your Cupid's Bow a breeze. Promising review: "Very pretty color. Lasts a long time, doesn't smudge when dry, and when I think I need to reapply, I can just put a new coat over it, and looks as good as new. Love it!" —ShawnGet it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in 32 shades). Obtain the ballerina bun of your dreams by way of these Goody spiral hairpins — just one pin can do the work of up to *20* bobby pins. How does it work, you ask? Just secure your hair into a ponytail, pull it into a super tight bun, spin the pins into place, and BAM! You've got yourself the perfect updo. Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.71+. Pair a plain tee with high-waisted palazzo trousers — aka pants guaranteed to make you feel ~trendier than thou~ while you strut to your corner deli.

I stepped outside of my usual skinny jeans outfit to try this style, and I never want to take them off! They are great casual pants for work and can be dressed up for the evening with a fancy shirt and heels. They are as comfortable as pajamas, without looking like it :)" —NashGet them from Amazon for $26.39+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, including short fits, and 28 colors/patterns). Vacuum up grease (because tbqh, it's been 84 years since your last proper shampoo) with I Dew Care dry shampoo. An effective trio of biotin, black ginseng, and root-boosting powder that comes in genius packaging — a small container with an attached puff for application that's as easy as dab, dab, dab. Pro tip: Apply just a bit of the product, brush it out, and repeat. Putting too much product at once may lead to a sheen of white residue. Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it lasts longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa Get it from Amazon for $18. Upgrade your WFH wardrobe with an elevated cropped tank — one that has been blessed by a stylish fairy godmother. Why? This takes your basic cami and goes *poof.* Promising review: "Don't hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color, and as soon as I tried it on, I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn't have a built-in bra, but it's lined. You could put on a bra with this if you'd like, but there's no need. It's cropped but still long enough that it doesn't roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I'll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it's just that incredible." —DanijtateGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 31 colors). Sleep with this satin curling rod headband and wake up to flawless beach waves — no hot tools or arm strength required. Simply wrap damp locks around the roller, fasten with the provided clip, and snooze the night away. Promising review: "This product is so amazing I bought one for all the people in my family! You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp, wet hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies, and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair like me. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all), and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —KaitlinGet it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors). Banish dark circles and blemishes with a few swipes of this Maybelline concealer, a concealing stick with an attached sponge for easy breezy application. Promising review: "I am a makeup snob. I have stupidly high standards for cosmetic performance, and drugstore brands have let me down every single time I've given them a shot. So when I graduated from Covergirl to Sephora after college, I never looked back. My kit is full of Dior and YSL foundation, Armani concealer, Benefit brighteners, etc. But this thing is truly great. The sponge applicator is better than you think. Firstly, it's antimicrobial, so you don't have to worry about the hygiene aspect. Secondly, its ability to blend the product is outstanding. The concealer itself doubles as a highlighter, it looks good without primer, and it lasts so much longer than you'd expect." —Sarita Get it from Amazon for $8.89+ (available in 28 shades). Add Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 to your morning routine for an immediately brightened complexion. It contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, and niacinamide for a sheen of glow and light coverage. Lit-from-within radiance *and* sun protection in one swipe? Perfection. Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles, and it doesn't dull or smudge them; it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it, love it, love it." —KristenBGet it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three sizes and four shades). Tame baby hairs in a jiffy with this plant-based gel cream, which ought to smooth out those pesky flyaways that no amount of brushing can get rid of. The best part? This formula is non-greasy, completely transparent, has a mascara wand that makes it super easy to apply, and will make your 'do look more polished with basically no effort required. Promising review: "I have super fine hair with lots of breakage, and no matter how I put my hair up, I have bad flyaways. This stuff is great! So easy, and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hair spray." —Jill Stilfield Get it from Amazon for $6.78+. Or! Try an edge control gel to help lay your edges and slick back baby hairs with just a few swipes of product. Major bonus points: It won't flake or leave behind any residue, which is — *heart eyes* — the definition of perfection in our book. BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review: "Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used, and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and nongreasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" — it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in six sizes). I think I speak for all of us when I say blessed be the TikTok. Try out these simple hacks to instantly upgrade your 'fit.

All you'll have to do is apply the stamp to your lashline, press down onto your skin, and a pristine cat eye will be yours in mere seconds. Promising review: "Okay, so I am as shakey as shakey gets when it comes to putting eyeliner this is a miracle sent from above! It honestly is the most amazing eye makeup product I own at the moment. It is as easy as it sounds. Literally. I like that it is double-ended and you have two pens: one for the left eye and one for the right. The opposite end on both is just everyday liquid liner pen, but it goes on soooo much smoother than any other liquid liner I've tried or owned." —Heather OlsenGet it from Amazon for $15.97 (available in two colors). Quickly touch up your brows with a Schick dermaplaning razor, a tool sent from heaven for people who are done with the pains of plucking and the expense of waxing. This quickly rids stray brow hairs and unwanted peach fuzz (while ridding your face of dead skin to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion), that way you know you're beginning the day with perfectly-groomed facial caterpillars that only took three seconds to tame. And don't panic! This tool is super gentle, so you don't have to worry about accidental nicks and scrapes. Promising review: "This is a 100% painless and incredibly easy alternative to waxing or plucking. A few quick swipes get rid of peach fuzz, and I never have to worry about breaking out because of it. Also, it doesn't make hair grow back coarser or darker." —Ellen R. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94. Nip brassiness in the bud with a cult-favorite Fanola purple shampoo. The violet pigment in this formula works to wash away unwanted yellow in your 'do, meaning you can extend the time between salon visits — and the benefits of that are two-fold. You'll save a ton of money on appointments, plus you won't have to subject your hair to additional bleaches and dye that will (I'm sorry to tell you this) cause additional damage. Use this only once a week (for about three minutes at a time) to prevent your hair from turning a slightly lavender shade. Promising review: "Finally! A purple shampoo that actually does something to my brassy hair! I have silver-white hair that is exceptionally hard to maintain due to how easily my hair gains brassy tones and how stubborn they are to remove. I've tried a ton of other brands, and none of their toning shampoos will do a damn thing to my hair, even if I leave them on for an hour. I normally have to dilute violet direct dyes to make a dent in my brass. It's nice not to have to schedule a chunk of time to mix a batch of custom toner, painstakingly apply it, and then sit around for an hour while it does its stuff. This shampoo actually works really well and can cut a lot of time out of my bi-weekly color maintenance." —AudreyGet it from Amazon for $18.99. Give yourself a lovely flush of pink *and* some non-sticky moisture thanks to the vitamins A, C, and E found in Nooni Appleberry Lip Oil. It's even packed with apple water and raspberry extract to slough away the dead skin that would inevitably result in a chapped pout. Promising review: "I can't remember who first told me about this lip oil, but it seemed like the perfect solution to my multi-year search of trying to find a lip product that enhanced my natural lip color while keeping my lips moisturized. It's not too sticky and lasts longer than a typical "gloss." It's a fairly small bottle, but that also makes it great to keep in a wristlet. The appleberry is also sheer enough to pair over a lip crayon or lip liner." —Sammi Cone Get it from Amazon for $9.50. Bliss = being able to remove the plastered pet fur on your black leggings within seconds. Pick up every speck of gunk that's attached itself to your clothing via this pet hair remover, a beast at making plain black tees look crisp and straight out of the dryer. Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-lb tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using this, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $24.99. Get glossy, frizz-free curls on second (or third or fourth or tenth) day hair with Cake Beauty The Curl Friend Defining Cream. A blend of shea butter and lightweight natural oils provides a ton of moisture, but thankfully, none of the weigh-down. Promising review: "This is the most reasonably priced curly hair product I've found. I originally got a little tube from my Ipsy order, and I liked it so much I came to Amazon to order a full-sized bottle. It doesn't make my hair crunchy or greasy, even if I accidentally put too much on it. My curls look natural and bouncy after using my diffuser, and even when I let hair air dry, this gives my curls a little extra form and structure to look like I actually did something to my hair." —sbgoodgirl Get it from Amazon for $10.99. Turn any bra into a no-show racerback with the help of these handy dandy adjustable clip holders. Long gone will be the days of —> put on shirt —> bra shows —> take off shirt to change bra —> put shirt back on again —> bra still shows. Not to be dramatic, but these clips will change your life when you're in a rush (which is always), not to mention these will make any ensemble look 10x crisper without colorful straps peeking through. Promising review: "My bra straps spend more time off my shoulders than on — but NOT ANYMORE. I was hoping something like this existed, and when I found it, I was so happy. They're as glorious as I expected them to be. These are life-changing." —Amanda Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.49 (available in eight color combinations). Take yourself from bedtime ready to professional chic by layering this removable collar under any comfy old sweater. It is so simple, so transformative, and the gorgeous embellishments give you just a hint of sparkle. Promising review: "Love this shirt collar! I can wear it under tunic tops or long sweaters when at work or for dressier occasions. What a great find and a perfect addition to any outfit!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.99. Opt for nonconstrictive support with a Hanes wire-free bra. It's designed with a second skin feel so comfortable that it *will* be worn all the time. Willingly. Like, you will actually want to wear this bra. Promising review: "I haven't worn another bra since I got this, and I'm gonna buy, like, five more. I am a 34F/G, and I've never found any bralette that fits me (always either too big in the band or too small in the cup). I got a medium, and I'm SHOCKED to report that not only do my girls actually fit inside (the fabric has a lot of stretch), but it actually holds them up pretty well." —Lily HGet it from Amazon for $15.69+ (available in sizes S–3X and in four colors). So the eyes aren't the window to the soul, it's actually your brows. This cruelty-free Elizabeth Mott brow gel has a pomade formula to keep your brows in place while subtly filling them in, immediately giving your ensemble an air of ~I am put together because my brows look so good.~ The best part? It's so easy. No expert drawing skills required (unlike your regular brow pencil). Promising review: "So incredibly happy with this. It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick), and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique FrenchGet it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in six shades).

26 Makeup Products You'll Wish You Started Buying Years Ago
1. A magical makeup-correcting stick for those mistakes that usually result in you starting your beauty routine ALL over again. This allows for quick and easy touchups that'll save you time, so you'll never leave home without it. Amazon Promising review: "Why didn't someone think of this sooner? For years, I've been using cotton swabs dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must buy product!!" — Katherine Get it from Amazon for $7.03. 2. Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint so you can apply lip color once in the morning and never have to think about it for the rest of the day! It won't dry or crack *and* there are tons of color options. This is one of those beauty staples you'll wish you'd found MUCH sooner. Amazon I have about five shades of this and absolutely love it!! It smells absolutely amazing, and it actively moisturized my lips instead of making my lips super dry like other lip tints have. It's definitely a buildable color and will look different depending on how much you put on. This lip product consistently gives me a perfectly subtle and natural-looking look that can last me all day long! —Ciera Promising review:"I'm horrible with lipstick, I can never make it last. But this stuff did! The best part is that it did not dry out my lips like other lip stains do. The color is rich and bold. Love it." — Wendy M. Get it from Amazon for $6.90 (available in 37 shades). 3. A bestselling eyebrow pencil with everything you need to achieve flawless brows in minutes. The double-sided design has an angled pencil for filling and a spoolie brush for blending. How has your beauty routine survived so long without this?! Promising review:"Spent years using a brow pomade but got tired of it drying out in the little pot so quickly. I avoided pencils since I could never find one that went on as saturated and with a creamy sort of consistency that I was used to. Tried this on a whim since I'd seen a few positive reviews via YouTube and thought the angled tip was pretty neat. I don't know if I'd want to use anything else ever again because I love it so much! Easy to apply, goes on smoothly, and the little brush on the end is great for evenly brushing product through the brows once they're filled in. Looks so natural and precise. So very happy to get out of my comfort zone and try something new." — Shannon M Slape Get it from Amazon for $8.28+ (available in four shades and multipacks). 4. Etude House's Zero Sebum Drying Powder because, believe it or not, you don't have to deal with oily skin throughout the day. This gives you a wonderfully matte look for hours without the need to reapply. Promising review: "My T-zone produces so much oil that the government would seize it if they found out. I gave up on blotting papers because I had to use so many during the day. I resigned myself to carrying around stolen fast food napkins, so I could blot through the day. I decided to try this powder thinking that if it didn't work, then I would only have wasted $7.00. Imagine my surprise when this powder revealed itself to be the greatest method of oil absorption known to mankind! This powder is amazing. I dust it on my T-zone before I go out the door and I am good until I leave work. What sorcery is this!? If I am out late, then I only need to reapply once. It smells like a pain relief patch (like Tiger Balm or Icy Hot) but it 100% does the job. The smell doesn't linger, so it's no big deal. I have now become so obsessed with this product, that not even a restraining order will keep me from it. This could absorb an oil spill." — Mel Get it from Amazon for $6.50+ (also available as a two-pack). 5. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer for a quick, lightweight under-eye application instead of packing on tons of layers. It also helps minimize dark circles and puffiness so you'll be glad to *finally* add this lil' miracle to your makeup bag. Promising review:"Best under-eye concealer ever. I wouldn't go out without applying this concealer. It blends nicely with my foundation and has never caked. The sponge applicator is soft and makes application quick and easy. I will continue to use this product and hope, like many products I've used over the years, that it doesn't get discontinued." — Morty Get it from Amazon for $8.80 (available in several shades). Check out my colleague's Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Concealer review and learn why it's her favorite. 6. An internet-beloved set of makeup sponges, which live up to the hype for expert-level blending. Reviewers say it's just as good — if not better — than the expensive name brand you've splurged on for years (ugh!!!). Use it wet or dry for BB cream, concealer, foundation, *and* powder. Promising review: "I am VERY picky when it comes to my makeup sponges. For years I would only use a Beautyblender because, to be honest, nothing else compared or gave the same foundation finish. These are truly a game changer! They are not 100% identical to the name brand blender in texture, HOWEVER, they DO give the same flawless foundation finish. I would even go as far as to say they soak up less foundation which means you aren't wasting as much product. And can we talk about this price point?!?! Save your hard-earned money and PURCHASE THESE! You won't be disappointed." — Lindseyy Get a set of five from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in eight color combinations). 7. An eye primer you'll tell all your friends about to ensure *they* don't miss out on this sorcery for a moment longer. It keeps your eye makeup intact ALL day long without any smudging or creasing. Take that, oily eyelids! Elizabeth Mott is a Korean American woman-owned biz! Promising review:"So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high end to don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straightaway! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" — Melissa Mae Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 8. A set of Lovoir winged eyeliner stamps for anyone who's officially lost count of how many hours they've spent trying to perfect the cat-eye look. It only takes a few seconds to apply but it'll last the entire day *and* it's waterproof! You'll dream of a day when you bought this ages ago. Amazon Check out this TikTok of the Lovoir Winged Eyeliner Stamp in action! This product comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty. Promising review:"Let me start by saying this isn't my first cat-eye rodeo. I've tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn to my surprise, I put the left cat-eye on first and it was perfect. I thought this was a fluke and did the right it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT-EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean, crisp line. I can now do a cat-eye EVERY day and look/feel like a badass. Everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning." — LadyMeow Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes). 9. A mattifying makeup primer to keep your face looking fresh and free of creases all. day. long. That feeling of makeup melting off your face? Gone forever. Promising review: " I could go on and on about this magic face sauce, but instead I'm just gonna lead with the pictures from my random sweat test experiment and tell you what you're seeing. I think it did a GREAT job of soaking up the oil on my nose and forehead, much better than any pressed or loose mattifying powders I use. The (picture on the right) is after I danced Lindy Hop, Shag, AND Balboa (all fairly rigorous dance lexicons in the swing dance family) for three hours in a hot, crowded bar that had to be at least 90 degrees inside. According to my Fakebit, I did 20,000 steps that night so I REALLY put this stuff to the hardest test I could manufacture! It's lasted forever, as well, so I definitely think it's a good deal for the price. It's small, but you don't need a lot!" — Queenofthehouse Get it from Amazon for $16.29. 10. Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter when you wanna ~shine bright like a diamond~ without spending a fortune. This shimmery formula will make your cheekbones pop so well, you'll be low-key mad that you're late to the game. Promising review:"Obsessed with this highlighter! It is blinding and looks beautiful on bronzed skin. I was a little nervous the color would be too gold for me, but when I applied it, it blended out to the perfect glow. Will be my go-to this summer!" — Riley Hurlbert Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four shades and multipacks). 11. A genius Lay-n-Go cosmetic bag if you can't part with your makeup but need a convenient way to carry it. This shows you all your items when it's open and closes up into a small bag for easy transport. It's time to bid farewell to your decade-old makeup bag that's hanging on for dear life. I have had this for years now and it's my go-to travel make-up case! It holds an absurd amount of products, so I never have to compromise and leave any of my favorite makeup products behind on my trips. I love how easily it lays flat, which makes getting ready so much faster since you can see everything at once. It's especially great for getting ready in hotel rooms, where I often find myself sitting on the ground in front of a full-length mirror to put my makeup on. Instead of constantly rummaging through a tiny case, I can grab anything I need in a half a second. —Ciera Promising review:"I was tired of fumbling around in my cosmetics case and saw this. I was skeptical, On my recent two-week trip to Europe, with constant laying out and packing up, this item was wonderful. I could find what I wanted quickly, right away. Packing up was just a matter of pulling the drawstring. At first, I wasn't sure about changing to this bag, but now I could not do without it." — Mojosharkey Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in three sizes and 31 colors/patterns). 12. An Almay lightweight liquid foundation because some of us long for unparalleled coverage that won't clog our pores. I'll do you one better — this magical potion contains salicylic acid so it actually works to treat your blemishes while you wear it! Promising review:"I love this stuff! It's one of the only foundations that my dermatologist lets me use that actually covers anything. The other noncomedogenic foundations I have tried hardly cover anything. You can use a little for light coverage or use a lot for full coverage. I've applied it with a sponge, brush, and silicone sponge and it worked great with all. It even works fine if you just apply it with your fingers. I have extremely acne-prone skin and it does not make me break out. It also has salicylic acid in it which helps with breakouts." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in 16 shades). 13. Ownest Cosmetics eyebrow soap so you can style your brows however you please. It'll make your brows look thicker using your existing hairs. Excuse me but where has this been all your life?! Pair it with a brow pencil or powder if you want a fuller look. Promising review: "I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing, but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I've used nearly every product from Anastasia BH, but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." — Bailey M. Deacon Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (also available individually). 14. A super-soft Makeup Eraser when you wake up and realize you fell asleep in yesterday's makeup (again). It only requires a bit of water to get rid of those remnants so you'll be cursing your miserable existence prior to this gem! But hey, you'll save $$$ on disposable makeup wipes moving forward. Amazon, Promising review:"I am amazed by this product. I would even say that this is life-altering! I have not had to buy makeup remover in three months and don't believe I will ever have to again! When I used makeup remover, I felt like I could never get all of my makeup off and I had to rub my eyes quite a bit to get it off. Even after a lot of rubbing when using makeup remover I still would wake up the next morning with makeup residue from the previous day and I never felt I could completely get my makeup off. With Makeup Eraser, there is not one bit of makeup left!! It is like magic!! Make sure you follow directions, you have to use warm water and use the correct side!" — Sprklbuz Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in 15 colors). Check out BuzzFeed's review of the Makeup Eraser for more deets! 15. Il Makiage Woke Up Like This Foundation to give you the perfect shade and coverage combo you've spent wayyy too long looking for. It has over 500,000 5-star reviews for a reason, folks. Il Makiage This cruelty-free foundation has a natural matte finish, and it gives off a smoothing effect thanks to optically corrective powders and light-diffusing spheres in the formula. Promising review:"I really like this foundation. On days that I don't need quite as much coverage, I mix it with my moisturizer to thin out a little. It is perfect for heavy coverage days and the foundation brush is on point! Haven't needed anything else since buying IL Makiage. Has me looking perfect every day!" — Bethany Get it from Il Makiage for $45 (available in 50 shades). 16. An illuminating moisturizer that'll enhance your natural glow✨ right before your eyes. This liquid highlighter adds a lightweight color tint to your complexion for a dewy glow-up that can be worn alone OR with foundation. Promising review:"Love love love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile. Can be worn alone for some to put some glowy life to skin. Add to foundation or layer it. Beautiful. Use it as a base wear you put highlighter on top. Mix some with moisturizer. This in my opinion is better than so many high-luxury brands that make similar products. And I am pretty sure it can be used by all skin types. It's not oily feeling at all and it doesn't dry out skin either. Just a total package. Can't beat the price either." — Figgy08 Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in five shades and as a two-pack). 17. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick for a long-lasting lip shade with a kissable matte finish that'll have you blowing smooches at your own reflection (yes, it's that good). I have worn it almost exclusively for four years straight, I've rebought it several times, and the best part — it's under $10 a tube. I currently own five shades, but it comes in 30 SHADES, so you're bound to find one that works for you. In addition to being long-lasting, it doesn't leave my lips all dry and cracked like other matte lipsticks I've tried in the past. And I've done the leg work — dozens and dozens of times, I've put this on before dinner, eaten a full meal, drunk some cocktails, and it still looks fantastic when I get back home! —Ciera Get it from Amazon for $9.18 (available in dozens of shades). 18. Wonderskin Wonder Blading One Step Lip Stain Masque you'll obsess over because of how fun it is to use! It glides on a holographic blue and peels off to reveal a stunning lip stain that actually lasts. Reviewers say you can eat and drink without the need for touchups. *Immediately adds to cart.* Wonderskin is a small business that specializes in makeup and skincare products. Promising reviews: " I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn't believe they didn't have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!" — PM "I didn't know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It's true to its word about the 12-hour stay power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn't come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It's a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." — Brandy Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 24 shades). 19. Essence Lash Princess Mascara adored by literally thousands of reviewers because it delivers on its promises by adding effortless volume and length to your lashes. If you've lost years of your life scouring the internet for the ideal mascara, your search is officially over. BuzzFeed Editor Kayla Boyd tried this out and raves:"As someone who isn't a big fan of false lashes (the glue irritates my eyes and I'm terrible at applying them) this budget-friendly holy grail does the trick for both lengthening and volumizing my lashes. After you've given it a minute to dry, it lasts all day long and doesn't smudge or fade. It seriously gives the effect of false lashes, without the discomfort." Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like [wild]...and this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Weikert Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown and as a three-pack).

Or this Vivienne Sabó Classic French Mascara, aka a dream come true with its cruelty-free, lightweight, buildable formula for sky-high lashes without any clumping or flaking! Amazon, Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this mascara. I have very sensitive eyes and holy moly, I'm in love. I've found my new favorite mascara! It makes my lashes look longer and it looks the same all day long. Plus, it doesn't smudge during the day. It's wonderful and a total must-buy!" — Katherine Ochsman Get it from Amazon for $13.95. 21. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey, a cult-fave product that is 100% worth the hype. It delivers a lightweight, buildable gloss that somehow flawlessly complements every skin tone. Apply a single layer for a simple look or pack a few on if you really want your pout to POP! Amazon My coworker Emma Lord had this to say:"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart." Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in two shades). 22. An all-over color stick from Axiology that you'll use, over! Anywhere you need a bit of color — this stick has you covered. It's super hydrating, too, so the only question left is which color(s) to pick. Credo The packaging is completely zero waste — they're tube and cap free (wrapped in paper instead) and rest in a recycled carrying case made from upcycled materials. Credo Beauty is a woman-owned small business based in San Francisco that features cruelty-free beauty and personal care products and never stocks products that have ingredients on their Dirty List. Promising review:"This product is fabulous. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. I thought the texture might be too crayon-like, but it's absolutely not. It blends beautifully and lasts. I chose the shade Raspberry. It's a wonderfully happy fuchsia/hot pink color." — Heidi J. Get it from Credo Beauty for $15 (available in 10 colors). 23. A Docolor Eyelash Comb when you're ready to swear off clumpy lashes forever! This will be a lifesaver for anyone who has been messing with tweezers or *gasp* needles to separate clumpy lashes. Your prayers have finally been answered. Promising review:"A must-have in my makeup case! I have used plastic lash combs, metal ones, and flat ones, all of which just didn't get the job done. I always went back to a safety pin, WHICH I DO NOT ADVISE! This comb is metal and arched, which is much easier to use, and the teeth glide through lashes easily. NOTE: If your mascara is dry and clumped, ANY COMB COULD POTENTIALLY PULL OUT LASHES. JUST NO. DO NOT DO IT. I put on mascara, and while it's still wet, I glide the comb through the base and go up. It's that simple. I was concerned about cleaning it with alcohol, but I asked customer service and was told it was safe." — ASConner Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 24. A NYX setting spray so you can complete your fierce makeup look with a much-needed BANG! A spritz or two of this stuff will help lock in your product with a matte finish so it lasts for hours without constant touchups. Promising review:"This stuff will make your makeup last and last! I have severely oily skin, which means that most foundations just slide right off my skin. And then I found this! I spray this on before I do my makeup, after I do any cream makeup (foundation, concealer, etc), and then again after I set with powder. This helps my makeup easily last from seven in the morning to seven at night." — Sadie Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in four styles, in jumbo sizes, and in packs of two). 25. L'Oreal Infallible foundation powder for a full coverage look that doesn't clog your precious pores. It leaves a gorgeous matte finish that stays in place for up to 24 hours. No regrets whatsoever — except wishing you bought it years ago. Promising review: "I love this powder. I personally wear it over my liquid foundation to add coverage although I have heard it's good enough to use on its own. I like how it adds coverage with a satin finish without being cakey. Also you only need a small amount each time so the product lasts very long. This could probably last me a year if I wore it daily." – Sand Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in 19 shades). 26. A Beauty Bento Bouncy Eyeshadow Trio by Kaja because you should be able to take your fave shades on the go. This adorably compact three-tier stack of shadows is small enough to pack for travel days! Sephora Promising review: "This is genuinely one of my favorite products of all time. Gorgeous shimmer shades that are buttery and blinding! If you're considering buying one, do it! But I would only really recommend the all shimmer ones." – Rosewater Get it from Sephora for $28 (available in nine shade combinations and finishes) or from Amazon for $24.50+ (available in seven shade combinations and finishes).
