43 Products For Self-Professed "Budget Queens"
A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips, like the $45 Crest White Strips.

A 3-in-1 charging cord to juice up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time. (It's giving witchcraft??) This just solved all your "welp, everything's dying and there's only one outlet in this car/on this flight/in this teensy hotel room" problems for good.
Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream your skin will be SO happy to soak up — this is formulated with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil to help hydrate, tighten, and gently exfoliate your skin so effectively that you should be able to see early results in two weeks.

A curl-defining brush designed for all curl types with ridges on the side to help evenly divide hair and gentle, strategically-placed bristles for more defined, frizz-free curls. Reviewers compare this to the $30 EdgeLift version!
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 limited edition (!!) Eos Marshmallow "Super Balm" lip treatment from the brand's "secret menu" so good that reviewers say it's better than Carmex for healing and better than Summer Fridays for quality. Lip care that will also taste like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $5?? My friends, life is good.
A cult-favorite Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball reviewers compare to the pricey Sol de Janeiro version. 👀☀️ This is from TikTok-famous small business brand Kuumba Made, known for its luxury scents at ridiculously affordable prices, so you know they're on their game — reviewers especially love how ~beachy~ and long-lasting this sweet but elevated fragrance feels and how nicely it plays with other scents!
Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will be your holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes when your summer schedule is throwing you for a loop. This lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference — one that a lot of reviewers compare to the $33 Becca version.

A set of biodegradable ultra-soft face towels inspired by the much pricier Clean Skin Club version — a lot of folks with sensitive skin and acne *swear* by these, particularly because it helps prevent exposing their skin to bacteria that may collect in ordinary reusable towels.
A clothes-saving "spray and go" enzyme-based laundry stain remover — all you will have to do is spray the offending spot, rub it into the fabric, and leave it in your hamper until the next wash. It'll get the stain out during the washer cycle with NO other effort from you, and works on everything from discolored dried sweat to oil stains to grass stains to mud.
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.

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.

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 is nice and gradual.
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.
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.
E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes (and a much cheaper alternative to the viral $26 Blinc version). This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey $40 Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser will remove waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and will leave skin moisturized after use.
A set of Victoria's Secret–inspired seamless "invisible" underwear so soft and stretchy your butt will want to *sing* when you slide them on. This is a true holy grail underwear that doesn't show, doesn't ride up, and somehow manages to look cute all at the same time.
Dr Teal's "Hawaiian Bliss" Epsom salt magnesium soak, a ~limited edition~ blend of red sea salt, papaya, and hibiscus, reviewers are so in love with that a ton of them are buying extra bags (or literally hoarding them) before the brand runs out. One reviewer went so far as to call it "heaven in a bag!"
A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag so easy to use that all you have to do is stick your clothes inside, zip up the bag, roll the bag, and watch all the excess air get squished out of them until your clothes magically shrink. BOOM, suddenly everything fits in one carry-on and you've saved a chunk of change!
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?
E.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint, the $5 answer to the beloved $26 Benetint that will do just as brilliant a job, despite costing five times less. This flush of pigment for your lips and cheeks is perfect for those lightweight, "no makeup makeup" looks that will be especially key on days when the sun is showing no mercy.
Oxo's compact Cold Brew Rapid Brewer to make cheap, delicious cold brew in FIVE MINUTES (!!) with results so quick and delicious that reviewers love it more than their beloved Aeropresses (and even call it "Aeropress 2.0"). Not only is it faster than comparable models, but it's cheaper, entirely portable, and doesn't need to be charged or plugged in. 🤯 You're going to be swimming in a RIVER of delicious, affordable cold brew with this gizmo.
Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. Those summer days when the sweat has your roots drooping like a sad flower are OVER.

Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance!
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!!
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 Lululemon-inspired mini wristlet wallet set that looks just like their $50 version, and also easily holds 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.
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.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist so darn phenomenal at its job that one reviewer calls it "hairspray for your face," and several compare it to the $34 One/Size setting spray at triple the price. This ultra-fine formula will spray on lightly and leave a natural finish, but just one spray is designed to LOCK IN your look for 36 hours.
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 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 multipurpose blush stick reviewers compare to the $18 Pixi Beauty version — this version may be cheaper, but it's also easily buildable, blendable, and perfect for that light, dewy, "kissed by a happy pink cloud" look.
An air fryer cheat sheet that will basically pay for itself on the first use — you can magnetize this right to your fridge and know precisely how to cook meats, veggies, and frozen food to perfection, helping eliminate food waste and save your budget from takeout.
A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses for anyone who needs to stock up on a few "these look like Ray-Bans, but I won't cry into my Baja Blast if I accidentally leave them in the Taco Bell parking lot" pairs this year. These are especially handy because you can match the subtle prints to whatever 'fit you're wearing!

‘Heart SF' sculpture turns heads after cutting through red tape in new S.F. permit program
A new sculpture at a San Francisco cable car turnaround near the Embarcadero invites people to immortalize their entrance to the city by posing for photos in a giant heart-shaped frame. Dubbed Heart SF, the artwork at Robert Frost Plaza has been an instant magnet for tourists — and a crucial first test of a new program that aims to vastly expedite the city's notoriously slow approval process for neighborhood improvement projects. When the Dibona family of Buenos Aires, Argentina, saw the big metal heart, sandwiched between the giant letters S and F, on Wednesday, they walked up and climbed into the frame, handing a bystander an iPhone to photograph the four of them with the California Street cable car in the background. 'We will post it on Instagram' said Franco Dibona, 18, the family interpreter, adding that they had no idea the new sculpture was there until they passed by it on Market Street, en route to the Ferry Building. 'Every important city should have this.' But the interactive public art would still be stuck in planning, a year or two away, if it were not for the new Love Our Neighborhoods program, which is dedicated toward fast-tracking any project on city property or in the public right of way — including neighborhood Little Free Libraries, sidewalk benches and planters, tiled staircases and murals. The Chronicle wrote in 2023 about the Meyers family, whose Little Free Library effort was thwarted by a complaint that triggered an encroachment citation from the city — and public outrage over red tape. Susan and Joe Meyers supported the legislation that created the Love our Neighborhoods program. Heart SF is the first major project to take advantage of it, the centerpiece of an effort by the Downtown SF Partnership to spruce up the plaza in front of the Hyatt Regency, as a destination branded as the Downtown Gateway. 'The pilot project' 'We were the guinea pig, the pilot project,' said Claude Imbault, vice president of Planning and Economic Development for the Downtown SF Partnership, a community benefit district that oversees 43 blocks of the Financial District and Jackson Square. 'It would have taken two or three years without (Love Our Neighborhoods) and I don't think the end product would have been as good. We were all aligned.' That alignment included three separate city agencies — the Planning Department, Public Works and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency — which in times past might have meant three separate applications and three separate opportunities for frustrating and costly delay. Love Our Neighborhoods has streamlined that into a single dedicated website with staff standing by to help push it through as quickly as possible, including coordinating with other city agencies. The application is touted as taking 45 minutes for most projects. 'While safety and accessibility remain a priority for us as stewards of the public right of way, we want to help guide and support people in their efforts to improve and beautify our shared public spaces,' said Public Works Director Carla Short in a news release. Previously, Heart SF Project would also have required a major encroachment permit, which meant a hearing and approval by the Board of Supervisors, a process that would take a year in and of itself. Now that is covered in the Love Our Neighborhoods application. Three-tiered program The program has three tiers: Tier One, the smallest, requires registration only, no permit and no fee. Tier Two involves larger projects such as murals on bridges or sidewalks, commemorative plaques, and minor landscaping. Groups like nonprofits, community benefit districts or merchants associations submit applications, which may require reviews. Tier Three projects include major projects like lighting, new stairways or retaining walls, and sculptures such as Heart SF. Projects at the third level take longer and require permitting and review, but the Heart SF application was filed Feb. 8 and the permit issued April 11. It took twice that long to get the piece designed and fabricated. It was installed July 24. 'That heart is like a magnet,' said Olajuwon Mitchell, who has run a nearby shoeshine stand for 40 years and never seen anything like the crowds that spontaneously form at the new photo op. 'People come here every three minutes to take a picture. This is going to bring a lot of business, I can promise you that.' Revitalizing Robert Frost Plaza The concept for the installation was developed by Imbault, as a way to revitalize Robert Frost Plaza, a downtown transit hub where the 1-California cable car line meets Muni Metro and BART at the Embarcadero Station. It is an irregular strip of city property on a brick pad. Operating on a $160,000 grant from the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, Imbault hired SITELAB Urban Studio to develop a plan. 'We wanted a formal gateway that says you've arrived in downtown San Francisco,' said Imbault, 'a place for visitors to sit and get their bearings that tells them this is a place that matters.' The Southern California fabrication firm AD/S did the design and fabrication out of metal and steel for the 2,400-pound piece. The art itself was budgeted at $80,000. It was Imbault who had the inspiration to place it at an angle so that the heart perfectly frames the cable car as it rests at the end of the line. The F-Market streetcar line and BART also stop there, so it is being turned into a transit hub. A Muni shed is soon to be fitted with vintage cable car ornamentation and a large information sign and map contributed by Market Street Railway, Muni's nonprofit preservation partner. Lighting elements and a plaque that brands the site as 'Downtown Gateway' are still to be installed. 'It's really a great team effort,' said Rick Laubscher, President of Market Street Railway. 'You've got city departments, a business association and nonprofits all working together to create a new hub for exploring the historic attractions in San Francisco.' The project cost more than $200,000 overall, and was helped by a $75,000 grant from the Pisces Foundation. This paid for construction of seating areas — though visitors seem most eager to sit either on the metal platform or inside the heart itself. 'It shows the power of small improvements to make an impact,' said Imbault, who described the Gateway as 'a big hit.' And not just for tourists, either. Brenda Dang, a retired federal worker who lives in the Gateway Apartments, walked over to take her holiday card photo with a real camera and was willing to wait her turn — which also meant waiting for the cable car to make it to the end of the line. 'Everybody knows what the cable car is,' she said, after the picture was made. 'So it gets the message across.' Asked to elaborate on the message Dang will send to everyone on her holiday card list, coast to coast and in Hawaii, she said, 'San Francisco is a great place to visit, sightsee and shop. Come on down and check us out.'

ELLE Editors Swear By These Designer Shoulder Bags for Your Next Investment
There's a reason the shoulder bag endures: it's a wardrobe staple that manages to feel both timeless and of-the-moment (I mean, just look at the staying power of the Fendi Baguette). Worn with nonchalance or intentional polish, it lends any look a certain ease. And this season, it's less about logos and more about silhouettes: crescent curves, boxy minis, slouchy leathers—all with quiet, confident details that speak volumes without trying too hard. Whether it's paired with a dress for brunch, peeking out from beneath a trench, or tucked under the arm with off-duty denim, the right shoulder bag doesn't follow trends—it defines them. It's not just an accessory; it's a statement. And if you're going to invest in one bag this season, this is it. I genuinely consider this bag a classic go-to—the kind you'll carry through every chapter of your life. It's the piece I instinctively reach for to add a touch of polish and ease to any outfit, making it well worth the splurge. Dimensions: Height: 5.9 inches; width: 10.2 inches; depth: 2.8 inches Colors: 9 options Material: Suede leather If the Birkin had a downtown sister with a softer edge, this would be it. 'I hate how much I love this bag. It's the perfectly slouched version of the Birkin, and it's much cooler because of it. Gone are the days of teeny tiny purses that you carried in one hand with your iPhone clutched in the other. I want everything in my purse—a book, a spare book, a planner, a lip combo, 37 loose hair ties, and the kitchen sink,' says Alexandra Hildreth, fashion news editor. Dimensions: Height: 9.5 inches; width: 13.6 inches; depth: 4.5 inches Colors: Black Material: 100% calfskin leather Some bags are conversation starters—others become part of your personality. For Madison Rexroat, assistant accessories editor, this one does both. 'Anyone who's gone for a night out with me or seen my Instagram the past few months has seen this Roberto Cavalli x LeSportSac bag. I'm a fiend for zebra print (though it comes in tiger, snake, blue and black, too) and the slick exterior fabric has withstood Coachella dust, Thailand humidity, Mediterranean salt air, New York City grime, and everything in between,' says Rexroat. Dimensions: Height: 8.7 inches; width: 16.1 inches; depth: 2.8 inches Colors: White/Black Zebra Print, Yellow/Black Zebra PrintMaterial: 1oo% nylon Clean lines and a thoughtful silhouette—sometimes that's all it takes for a shoulder bag to become a closet staple. 'Simply put, I love the shape of this bag. It feels very on-trend with some of the more minimal styles that have been on the market, but the slight dip in the middle gives it a bit of an unexpected touch,' says Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce Height: 7.6 inches; width: 14 inches; depth: 6.8 inches Colors: Black, Bordeaux, Brandy Material: 100% polyamide Structured, but never stiff, the Le Teckel is something you'll spot on all of the fashion girls in Paris, given its striking shape and elongated straps. 'I've been hypnotized by the Le Teckel family ever since it debuted during the spring/summer 2024 season. I'm especially in love with this upgraded version because it can hold all the necessities and fit comfortably on my shoulder, thanks to its elongated straps,' Alexis Bennett Parker, ELLE's commerce content lead, says. 'Plus, it's an architectural work of art that's crafted with sharp lines. This is the type of bag that makes a pair of jeans and a T-shirt look instantly chic and will never go out of style.' Dimensions: Height: 4.3 inches; width: 13 inches; depth: 3.9 inches Colors: Noir, Dark Green, Ivory, Grey Material: 100% leather Some bags are instantly iconic—others only deepen their appeal with time. Bennett Parker still can't get over the craftsmanship of one particular standout. 'Speaking of work of art, there aren't many bags as beautifully crafted as Bottega Veneta's Kalimero. It's the first bag Matthieu Blazy created for the Milanese fashion house, and to this day, I'm still smitten by its intricate beauty,' she says. Dimensions: Height: 6.3 inches; width: 9.8 inches; depth: 2 inches Colors: Barolo, Fondant, Black, Bone Once reserved for fall and winter, brown suede has officially broken season boundaries. 'Brown suede bags are all over the place this summer—much to my surprise and delight. This Khaite style is my favorite that I've seen, and I think it will be perfect for many seasons to come, especially this fall,' says Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor. Dimensions: Height: 8 inches; width: 13 inches; depth: 6.5 inches Colors: Mud Small in size but big on impact, the Le Bisou Perle Leather Shoulder Bag blends sculptural elegance with a minimalist finish. The curved silhouette and resin details give it that effortless French-girl appeal, making it the kind of piece that elevates even the simplest tank and jeans outfit combo. Dimensions: Height: 3.5 inches; width: 9.5 inches; depth: 1 inch Colors: Black, Brown Some bags just have that It girl energy—and for Laura Tarafa, ELLE's commerce writer, this Prada style was love at first sight. 'Lately, I've been obsessed with effortlessly chic, It girl styles. This Prada bag was an instant fixation. Every time I saw it on someone, I couldn't take my eyes off it! When I finally caved and treated myself to one, I fell in love with it even more. My favorite details include the wrap-around belt, the charming drawstring ties, and the soft, glossy leather. It's unstructured in that laidback way, but the polished touches make it feel elevated enough to dress up,' says Tarafa. Dimensions: Height: 6.1 inches; width: 12.6 inches; depth: 4.7 inches Colors: 6 options Crafted from rich suede with subtle leather trim, this suede moment channels vintage Americana with a modern edge. The gold-tone ID tag adds a signature touch, while the slouchy shape and adjustable strap make it endlessly wearable, from city errands to weekend escapes. Dimensions: Height: 16.8 inches; width: 15.8 inches; depth: 1.8 inches Colors: Cashew Tan Material: 100% calf suede with leather trim Timeless with just the right amount of edge, the Prada Cleo has quietly become a staple among those who know. ELLE's digital director, Claire Stern Milch, makes a strong case for why it belongs in your forever wardrobe. 'There are It bags—and then there are forever bags. With its '90s aesthetic, hobo-style shape, and sleek brushed leather finish, the Prada Cleo is an instant classic for good reason,' says Stern Milch.

Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. A chic under-the-cabinet banana hanger so easy to install that you'll wonder why you didn't free up all your counter space *YEARS* ago. Also digging the whole "bananas as decor" vibe here. A crinkle cutter tool for veggies, fruit, potatoes, and cheese that not only makes meal prep a breeze, but makes certain foods more enticing for the picky eaters in the fam. Everyone knows a squiggly-shaped thing tastes better than a regular shape ... it's just science! A benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your "no wash" days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell. 👀 Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails. A double-sided cutting board *and* defrosting board with enough capabilities to make your lil' brain spin. One side of the board is made with food-grade stainless steel for cutting meat while the other is made with wheat straw for cutting fruits and veggies, helping save cutting board space and preventing cross-contamination. But reviewers also note that the stainless-steel side is *excellent* for defrosting meat faster, and the built-in garlic grinder on the wheat straw side is also a handy little time saver! A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers designed so that one side of them cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grime, and the other side whitens them, restoring your sneakers and their soles to their former glory. Take THAT, passage of time. An oh-so-sweet hummingbird lamp with three brightness levels and a touch sensor that reviewers love using as a reading light, a wind-down light, or a nursery light. Bonus: it also functions as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its head. Ninja's *portable* Crispi Air Fryer system, perfect for people with high foodie standards and a chaotic schedule. This "all-in-one system" cooks your food in the same container you eat from, so you can pop your meal into the air fryer, cook it, and either pack it for later or eat it right out of the container.
