Keep Your Arm And A Leg And Buy These 35 Affordable Alternatives Instead
A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks offering a Laneige-like experience for just a fraction of the price. The berry extract and vitamin C work to moisturize lips as you go to bed, proving that beauty sleep is a real thing.
Glue-on foam ceiling tiles providing a quick, fancy refresh to your kitchen or living room. Gotta love an easy way to add a "wow" factor without having to splurge on carpentry or remodeling.
A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash offering an affordable solution to your dependence on that beloved (but pricey) fragrance. Thanks to the notes of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber, shower time has never smelled better.
A set of glittery gel nail polishes to help you master the coveted cat eye look. You can make your nails look like gemstones or faraway galaxies with the right technique, all without dropping $100 at the salon!
A pair of stylish teardrop earrings similar to the popular Bottega Veneta ones, but for a fraction of the price. They're lightweight and gold-plated, meaning that even those with sensitive ears can enjoy them.
Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume that'll smell familiar to any fans of YSL's spendy Black Opium scent. If you're not in the know, it has a dedicated following thanks to its unique blend of mandarin, vanilla, pink pepper, jasmine, and cedarwood. Just like its pricier cousin, this fragrance has staying power, so expect some "you smell fancy" comments throughout the day.
A baroque-inspired mirror for anyone who has been eyeing the gorgeous Anthropologie mirrors but can't quite rationalize the hefty price tag. This piece of decor is pretty similar and comes at a fraction of the cost.
A super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too.
And high-waisted leggings that have also been compared to Lululemon A LOT, like over-600-reviewers lot. They're buttery soft, pass the squat test, and have the perfect stretch-to-hug ratio.
A 12-pack of soft microfiber makeup removing towels you can score at a major steal: less than $1 per cloth. They work just as well as the famous Makeup Eraser, but 20 TIMES less expensive.
A Bodum kettle with the same aesthetic sensibilities as the pricey Fellow Stagg Gooseneck Kettle but at a fraction of the price. While the Bodum doesn't have to-the-degree temperature control or regulation, it still has a large capacity, precise spout, and rapid boil ability (around two minutes!).
An 18-karat gold-plated cherry keychain because dropping almost $100 on the one from Coach is honestly kind of ridiculous. Reviewers say this one is almost identical!
E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine in the "Ecstatic" shade, which reviewers say works as a very good, affordable replacement for Clinique's "Black Honey," the $25 "universal shade" that has a Shakira-level of fame and adoration. This $7 alternative is nonsticky, moisturizes with vitamin E, and melts onto your lips like buttah.
Also from E.l.f., their Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. No one likes having to scrub their eyes raw trying to get off waterproof makeup. :(
A cold brew coffee maker that lets you make your java at night (when you're actually awake), so all you have to do is stumble to the fridge in the morning. Just pour coffee grounds (or tea leaves!) into the pitcher and let them steep overnight, and you'll forget aaalll about paying $8 at your local coffee shop.
A trendy bamboo-style frame you might have thought came from Framebridge or Aerin, but nope! Amazon. This affordable frame will help you score beach house or tiki vibes even if you're in a 1BR in a landlocked state.
A pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals not only supremely comfortable but also an affordable alternative to Mayari Birks. The similarities go past just looks: They also have 100% genuine suede soles, so your feet are still treated to the best.
Foam sponges similar to the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster to help you expertly clean blinds, glass, baseboards, vents, railings, and more. The ridged U-shape helps it get into tight corners and scrub away dirt that's been caked on for so long, it was around for the Peanut Butter Jelly Time song.
A midi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal.
A set of wrist and ankle weights to add some resistance to your workout or brisk walk around the neighborhood. They're arguably just as cute as Bala Bangles, but without the eye-watering price tag.
A set of wildly popular "hotel" pillows so you can feel like you're falling asleep at the Ritz. Reviewers rave that these are the perfect balance of fluffy and firm, meaning you can prop yourself up for a good in-bed TV binge. Plus, they're breathable and cooling, so you won't overheat while wrapped in all those blankets.
And a set of extra soft cooling "hotel" bedsheets with so many 5-star reviews (almost 250,000!) you'd think they could only be found in a 5-star hotel. No promises, but some people are saying they never want to get out of bed.
A Skin1004 Zombie Pack to bring your skin back to life in a good, non-horror movie way. The mask tightens as it dries, creating a fun undead look (just like the more expensive Hanacure). When you wash it off, you might be pleasantly surprised to see bouncier, more hydrated skin.
A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better.
And a scoop-neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs.
A Renpho percussion massager reviewers say offers just as much relief as the $300 TheraGun. There are five speeds and five different head attachments, so you can target different muscle groups. Sore muscles and deep knots don't stand a chance against this massager.
A Revlon hot air brush for when you wanna look like you have an in-home stylist at your beck and call. It'll detangle and blow out all types of hair (including type 4 curls and coils) in what feels like the blink of an eye. Glossy, effortless waves are just a few brushes away!
An Overmont cast-iron Dutch oven if you love the charm and function of Le Creuset, but not the price. This durable pot can still provide for all your stewing, boiling, roasting, and frying needs: It's oven safe up to 500 degrees F, cooks evenly, and cleans up like a dream.
Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes just as well as the $33 Becca version. The lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed to blend seamlessly — check the drastic difference in the review photo!
A classic bubbly paperclip chain that could easily be mistaken for a Tiffany HardWear necklace. The 14-karat gold-plated piece is so convincing, your friends might start expecting you to pick up the check at dinner.
A set of satin pillowcases offering the same level of luxury as Slip and Blissy, but for way less. Like silk, satin pillowcases stay cool, prevent hair breakage, tangles, and frizz, and absorb less moisture from your skin overnight. Beauty sleep is a thing!
Peep toe mules that'll support you through brunches, weddings, and baby showers, all without foot pain or a scary bill from Gucci. Reviewers say the chunky heel allows for all-day wear.
A set of square stemmed wineglasses pretty darn close to the beloved spendy Crate & Barrel version, but with the added bonus of being a little more durable, according to reviewers. Clumsy people and gesticulators rejoice!
A set of lovely silk tulips that look like the real deal but, unlike live flowers, can stick around for many years to come. Keeping a regular rotation of fresh flowers can be pricey! Spritz 'em with a little perfume and guests won't even be able to tell they're imposters.

24 Whimsical Products That Put The Fun In Functional
An acoustic frog speaker to amplify the audio from your phone and make all your music and calls a... ribbit louder. This little leaper is hand-crafted out of clay (no electricity required!) by an independent artist, and has a megaphone mouth that directs and helps enhance sound waves, which reviewers say truly makes their speaker sound much clearer. Yay science! A set of mushroom glass vases that'll help you live out your fairy garden dreams — even in a tiny apartment, miles away from the nearest enchanted forest. They're made of hand-blown glass with a thin opening at the top, just wide enough for a few charming flowers and trimmings. Now you can buy your favorite kind of bouquet and split it between the vases to let every little flower shine. A pair of retro-style smiley face slippers to bring back some much-needed joy into your life after waking up to your 6 a.m. alarm. Reviewers say the memory foam cushion is plush and ultra-comfy, and that the hard soles are durable enough to step outside — so they'll be gladly greeting your neighbors every time you take out the trash. A TonyMoly Jelly Lip Melt in a Jell-O mold-inspired container that's straight out of a '50s dinner scene (sans veggies or shrimp). This K-beauty lip treatment isn't just *super* cute, but is also filled with ingredients like berry extract and vitamin E for some ultra-soothing, long-lasting hydration that reviewers say rivals the iconic Laneige lip mask (double the price, BTW). It's also got a yummy fruity smell (and flavor!) and a glossy formula, so your lips will be feelin' the love. A handheld duck vacuum because picking up the stray crumbs in your car or the elusive hairs from inside your drawer could benefit from a few more silly points. It's light as a feather, but still has a strong suction that's perfect for smaller pickups — especially in those hard-to-reach places. And, reviewers say the cute, small-hands-friendly design makes even their kids feel a little more excited about cleaning! Disclaimer: googly eyes not included but highly encouraged for max whimsy. A vintage wall sconce that'll add a subtle pop of fun to your walls and a pretty, glowing ~ambience~ to your home. As someone who loves a lamp, a soft night-light is perfect for winding down in the evenings or guiding you on your midnight path without the jump scare of overhead lights. These are so, so easy to set up (i.e., electrician free) and the battery-operated style comes with a remote control and dimmable bulb! (Though, imagine the plug-in version with a stained-glass bulb? Stuh-nning). A mini passionfruit dish to bring a bit of tropical lounging-by-the-beach energy into your home all year long. These hand-crafted ceramic dishes are the perfect size to hold your spoons mid-recipe or your favorite rings, or it can even be a cheery spot to place your keys when you come home from the cloudiest of days. They're also food safe, so you can technically eat passionfruit... on your passionfruit (fruitception). Vacation Classic Whip SPF 30 with a beloved dessert-like consistency reviewers genuinely look forward to reapplying (and that's saying something). It's ultra-light, whipped texture blends and absorbs into the skin like a dream *without* that greasy feeling or white cast. It's also chock-full of hydrating ingredients like coconut oil, aloe vera, and ~banana extract~ that'll give you that gorgeous summer glow. Is there a sweeter way to top off your daily routine? A small sardine-themed bag to carry your everyday essentials while loudly (and proudly) telling the world you're on the tinned-fish train. The vibrant colors, embroidered details, and pop-up tab are a fun way to help you stay organized, and even as someone who is staunchly anti-sardine, I think it's incredibly cute. A Mjolnir meat tenderizer that'll transform you into the cooking hero you've always been — if you can lift the dang thing. The stainless-steel mallet, pyramid teeth, and sturdy handle make it the perfect weapon to wield against the villainous muscle fibers threatening your meal. And though it can't be shrunk or hidden like the real deal, it'll add a ~marvelous~ touch to your kitchen decor. A croc-shaped food chopper whose sharp, mighty jaw can *chomp* through just about any fruit or veggie you throw at it. Reviewers love how seamless it makes prepping a salad — you don't even need a bowl, just mix and eat straight out of the tray! It's an easy, low-effort way to get your greens in for the day, and would be especially helpful to speed up weekly meal prepping so it doesn't take up your entire Sunday. A retro CD mirror to reflect who you truly are inside: a music lover who yearns for the simpler days of carefully curating mixtapes and burning CDs (Millennials, I see you). This mirror is made of a lightweight acrylic and comes with adhesive strips for hassle-free installation. It'll make for some *super* cool mirror selfies — just be prepared for everyone to swipe up asking, "Where did you get that??" A banana pudding candle if you've always wanted your home to smell like summer picnics and pure, unadulterated joy. These handmade soy creations are scented with the seller's custom blend of sweet, creamy, and fruity aromas that make up what is probably the second-best banana dessert ever (first being Chunky Monkey ice cream, of course). Each is topped with hyper-realistic wax banana pieces, whip, wafers, and crumbles, and reviewers say that the smell is strong and delish without being overwhelming! A set of dachshund-shaped paperclips that'll add a little bit of fun to your stacks of documents when work starts feeling a little *too* mysterious and important. They come in a sturdy tin and reviewers say they firmly hold pages together — just be sure to attach them the right way, lest you find "Incorrect Use of Paperclips" as a contention on your performance review. A daisy-shaped dish brush so you can romanticize scrubbing off the crust from last night's dinner. This charming scrubber may be cute, but it's also got a durable design, comfy-to-hold handle, *and* a hidden scraper that's perfect for those tough spots you don't have the patience to soak. And when your flower starts getting a little mucky, just toss 'er in the dishwasher! A bouquet of Venus flytrap bag clips that may not catch the pests buzzing around your home, but will keep your snacks stale-free, which is equally (if not more) useful. This 3D-printed houseplant has detachable leaf-blades (the part that catches flies, which I just learned!) that can clamp around thinner bags — and when they're not being used, makes for *super* unique decor on your kitchen counter! An artsy elevated pet bed so your fur baby can get in on that whimsical fun. The wavy leg design and sunny-side-up canvas aren't just perfectly playful, but also sturdy and durable to hold them up while they lounge. The elevated design also helps with airflow to keep them cool, and reviewers say their pets prefer it to their soft beds! Could it be... a bed they'll actually use?? Or a raised mushroom pet bowl they'll probably have *no* clue is as cute as they come, but will still appreciate when they won't need to hunch down for their food anymore (win-win). The shallow design is especially comfortable for cats because it helps reduce whisker-fatigue, so they won't need to paw their food out of the bowl anymore. And the adorable fungi are made of a thick ceramic that can't easily be knocked over! A vampire umbrella which may look like a regular ol' parasol, but when the Count spreads open his cloak, it releases a flock of flying bats! It's the perfectly subtle way to add a bit of fun to a dreary day or some much-needed protection if, much like a vampire, you'd rather avoid the sun. And, when it's not being used, Spookula hangs from a coat rack snoozing like a bat until the next adventure. A pack of climber-shaped hooks that'll scale the wall while dutifully carrying your coats, bags, and umbrella. This strong trio can hold up to five pounds each and comes with a helpful guide to make installation a breeze. Reviewers love them in their kids' room to help them stay organized, or even in their office for a unique way to spruce up their space. An animal-shaped glasses holder so you have an incentive to actually put yours away before bed — not fall asleep with them on, just to wake up the next morning blearily searching between your sheets and pillows (...me). These helpful critters are made of hand-carved wood and are perfect for keeping your glasses safe or holding your shades when you're not using them. And they do it all while looking *very* scholarly, if I do say so myself. A mini bookshelf stress toy for a way to help relieve anxiety if your normal response is reorganizing your room in a cleaning frenzy. Instead, you can give this model a rigorous shake to make all the books fly out of their shelves, then open it up and spend some time putting it all back together. Reviewers say the methodical rearranging is *super* therapeutic and truly helps them relax. A pack of limited-edition floral Band-Aids so you can bring a bit of comforting cheer to even the gnarliest of paper cuts. The pack has three size options, each with a different wildflower design, and reviewers say they're just as durable and sticky as the OG, but cuter! A set of rainbow bath bombs that make a gorgeous swirling design in your water and have coconut and sunflower oil to soothe and hydrate your skin. With plant-based fragrances and a light fruity scent, reviewers love these for sensitive skin, and say they're particularly helpful for stopping their kids from fighting tooth and nail to avoid a bath.

38 Luxe But Cheap Products That Give Big Money Vibes
A plated, jewel-embedded ring you can buy yourself as a little treat if the $1,250 Cartier Love Ring is decidedly out of your budget. Dare I say this version is ... prettier than the designer one? An Our Place–inspired minimalist nesting bakeware set to help save space *and* your budget — these are similar to the $200 Our Place set, which does include one other piece, but is very similar in function and style. If you're looking for a lovely way to streamline your baking supplies and elevate your kitchen's aesthetic, this right here will be your affordable solution. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars.

An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo's $90 Santal 33 version, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can't stop gushing about it. If you're in the market for a signature scent for your space this fall, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend. Maybelline Lifter Glaze Oil Balm to give you an oh-so-smooth, moisturizing shine and fuller lip look, thanks to its hydrating oil blend and hyaluronic acid. Bonus: reviewers claim that the "Acai Glaze" shade is a perfect match for the $25 internet-beloved Clinique Black Honey "universal" shade that has taken the beauty world by storm! A set of reviewer-beloved wireless Bluetooth earbuds that will make you want to chuck your AirPods right back at the Apple store. These will not only be absurdly comfortable on your ears, but feature a 40-hour (!!) play time with the wireless charging case, rapid Bluetooth pairing, an LED power display, and *ear's KISS* audio quality that will make you want to force all your friends to try them, too. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding (*without* the $30 Olaplex price tag). All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. A pair of luxe retro-style oval sunglasses giving Miu Miu vibes without the $489 price tag. The devil's in the chic details on this one, including the little gold embellishments on the sides and the nostalgic shape of the lenses, which are softer than the typical skinny oval lens. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running — especially since it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the usual $68 version. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. A set of golden bracelets that will give ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices. Reviewers especially love these mix-and-match sets because they look like expensive versions from Cartier — the middle one is giving the $8,000 "Juste Un Clou" and the studded one is giving the $6,000 "Love Bracelet!" A pair of elevated faux leather sandals as the ultimate "what on earth will make my feet match this outfit??" shoe for all your warm weather shenanigans. These will pair just as beautifully with a cocktail dress as they will with a swimsuit or jeans, like that one really chill kid in high school who hung out with people in every clique. A pair of true "summer pants" from the beloved Amazon brand CRZ Yoga that you can compare to the $128 "Swift" pants from Lululemon, both in style and comfort level. If you're a ride-or-die pants wearer in all seasons, these right here are about to be your lightweight, elevated, oh-so-breathable BFFs. An easy-to-apply one-hour (!!) self-tanner so much cheaper and more effective than its competitors (like the $46 St. Tropez) that your medicine cabinet will laugh at the old versions you used. This vegan blend is easy for beginners to use without streaking or uneven patches, and although the tan is instant, the fade will be nice and gradual. An Anthropologie-inspired reversible quilted throw blanket you can get in all kinds of fun, lively prints that will startle your boring couch into having a personality, or give your bed a *much* needed reset after a rainy, dreary spring. Billion Dollar Brows Eyebrow Powder to fill in your brows as naturally and realistically as the $23 Anastasia Brow Duo version for less than half the price. Reviewers are stunned by how effective this is and how long it lasts, especially at such a low price point. A pair of pretty pastel wireless over-the-ear headphones crafted to look like the $399 AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price. A square neck "going out" top that isn't NOT a near perfect lookalike for the $40 Abercrombie version. This will be an excellent find for anyone who is ~choosy~ about colors, because it comes in a whole rainbow's worth of them. A simple faux diamond tennis bracelet to add a touch of sophistication to any outfit without the price of name-brand versions like Swarovski (even though reviewers agree this looks like the Real Deal 👀). And a dainty gold-plated station necklace, another home run from jewelry brand Pavoi so close to the real diamond versions from Quince and Dorsey that run $400+ that it'll turn all your everyday looks into ~quietly expensive~ looks. A Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint reviewers compare to Charlotte Tilbury's $35 Pillow Talk and Nars' $22 Velvet Lip Glide. This one gets bonus points for the softness of the matte color, how buildable and long-lasting it is, and how it doesn't crack or leave skin feeling dry. An effortlessly chic, surprisingly roomy woven straw summer purse designed to look like $100+ woven purses from Staud or Revolve that are taking this year by storm. A pair of high-waisted "Secretsculpt" biker shorts with some real booty-lifting action (AND NO FRONT SEAM!!) that will have you admiring your reflection in shop windows all summer long. Psst — reviewers compare these to the WAY more expensive $64 Lululemon Align shorts, and these come in a whopping 11 colors!! A set of sophisticated cylindrical wineglasses to rival Crate & Barrel's, and to elevate your Friday wine-cheese-and-Netflix nights so instantaneously that you'll feel like an extra in one of those Shows About Rich Families Who Fight All The Time. A trendy, adjustable slouchy shoulder bag reviewers compare to the $300 Coach Brooklyn version — it's basically all of the effortless cool and useful roominess, without the big ole price tag. In case that wasn't enough of a perk, it also comes with a free matching cosmetic bag! A bodycon lounge dress perfect for fans of Skims looking to spare themselves a few bucks — this versatile, figure-hugging dress has just the right amount of compression to mimic the iconic style and stay oh-so-comfortable for long periods of wear. An affordable sleeveless exercise romper you will be SO glad you bought on days when the sun is trying to bake you like cookie dough. These are medium-compressive, soft, breezy, and SUPER easy to throw on when your brain is too fried to match a top and a bottom in the heat. Bonus — these are comparable to Aerie, Abercrombie, and Hollister versions that can go for three times this price! A gorgeous statement checkered cutting board designed with deep grooves for juice, hidden handles on the bottom, and end grain to "heal" cuts from knives. A true overachiever considering it's worth the buy for decor purposes alone!! A Lululemon-inspired mini wristlet wallet set that looks just like their $50 version, and will also easily hold cash, cards, and lip balms, so you don't have to deal with the whole muss and fuss of a purse if you're going on a walk around the neighborhood. Plus, you know what they say — keep your friends close and your beloved lippies closer. A charming and oh-so-comfortable tennis skirt with built-in shorts — reviewers compare the buttery soft quality to Lululemon's $78 Align Skirt, and love the secret inner pocket on the shorts for stashing keys and tennis balls. A set of Bala Bangle-inspired wrist and ankle weights to get your ~fitness~ on — these serve all the same cuteness and function without the $55 price tag. Not to mention this has a TON more colors available to match your 'fits. A set of lightweight, oh-so-dainty ruffled pajamas inspired by the $89 Piyama version. Revievers are in loooove with this set for summer, saying the fabric is so high quality that it feels like linen. If you're looking for breezy warm weather loungewear, this adorable set fits the bill! A ~weightless~ liquid cream blush with some real $22 Rare Beauty blush energy — reviewers adore how high-pigmented and blendable the colors are and how soft and dewy the effect is on their skin. A Skims-inspired square-neck compressive body suit, which is basically 10 outfits in one — you can rock it solo, wear it as a bodysuit tucked into jeans, or pair it with a hoodie or a jacket. Go, little base layer, gooooo! A roll-up wide brim UPF 50 sun hat to protect your cheeks from the sun's rays *and* keep you looking effortlessly chic no matter how many days it's been since your last hair wash. This one is a real winner because of how absurdly packable it is, making it perfect for shoving into a tote bag on long days and a suitcase on vacation — and how affordable it is compared to $87+ versions from brands like Bloomingdale's, Wallaroo, and Cuyana. A marble board wire cheese cutter to serve as half decor, half kitchen tool, and 100% the biggest hit at any wine-and-cheese night when you let guests slice their own cheese with it. A ribbed button up tank top with some real Abercrombie & Fitch energy to perfectly straddle that line of "professional" and "I am 100000% going out after work today, and a martini glass will be involved." A set of hypoallergenic gold-plated earrings you can mix and match to your aesthetic's content. Reviewers love how well these hold up over time, especially given the price!

A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," another release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. A TikTok-beloved "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes. An airtight Deli ProKeeper so beloved that it's gone viral on FridgeTok (if you know, you KNOW). Not only does this free up space and clutter in the fridge, but it keeps deli meat and cheese so fresh that you'll actually get your darn money's worth by preventing waste. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.

It's basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs, because boy howdy are they awake now!! A set of retractable high-end ballpoint gel pens with such a satisfying, seamless glide that you'll finally find the motivation to write in that journal you keep promising yourself you'll keep up with. If you're a fellow stationery nerd, rest assured that this pen just pens, as a verb. A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. An adjustable cervical cooling pillow designed to make your neck as comfy and pain-free as possible, using its unique contoured design to cradle your head and support your neck's natural curve. Honestly, the cooling fabric is just a bonus for this little overachiever. Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 70 Sunscreen designed specifically for people who get the "ick" from oily sunscreens but need all the sun protection they can get. This ultra sheer, quick absorbing formula leaves a matte finish that still packs a powerful sun-protective punch. And at this price point, this is the ultimate "everyday" sunscreen for face and body. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake.
