27 Beauty Items In Amazon's 'Most Wished For' Section

Buzz Feed25-05-2025
Sol de Janeiro's Hair And Body Fragrance Mist — imagine the delicious smell of their iconic Bum Bum Cream, with notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla, but as your body spray! It basically smells like summer in a bottle, and you're gonna want that since it's practically right around the corner.
Or, a Phlur *Vanilla* Skin body mist you can spritz on both your skin and hair, with warm notes of vanilla, sandalwood, pink pepper, and jasmine. Reviewers are obsessed with how it's not overly sweet-smelling and say that it lasts all day, especially when sprayed on your clothes!
A tube of nongreasy Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to help tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles — *and* not strip your skin of moisture thanks to the hyaluronic acid. Reviewers are "impressed" with how this works because it's lightweight, absorbs instantly, and delivers solid results.
A SPF 30 Hawaiian Tropic mineral powder sunscreen for those moments when the UV index is climbing but your motivation to reapply... isn't. Just brush the translucent powder on your face (or scalp!) for an easy refresh — it mattifies by soaking up excess oil, leaves zero white cast, and won't mess up your makeup. It blends seamlessly into a range of skin tones and even doubles as both a primer and a finishing SPF touch!
A Summer Fridays "Pink Sugar" tinted lip butter balm that delivers a sheer pink tint while drenching your lips in hydration thanks to shea and murumuru seed butter. It's nonsticky, leaves a gorgeous shine, and blends well with other lip products — perfect for those midday touch-ups when your pout needs a little pick-me-up. No wonder it's getting all the hype.
Eos' Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion designed to deliver lightweight and long-lasting moisture (24 hours to be ~exact~) without that horrible greasy feeling other moisturizers can leave behind. Your skin will not only feel super smooth, but reviewers say this smells like "heaven on Earth." 🌎
Shark's FlexStyle Air Styling hair tool to curl, straighten, volumize, and blow dry your hair — all with one tool that rivals the MUCH pricier Dyson Airwrap. 👀 With interchangeable attachments, four heat settings, and three airflow options designed to minimize heat damage while still giving you salon-worthy results. It's lightweight, powerful, and basically pays for itself once you realize your new favorite stylist is... you.
A Tree Hut Vanilla Shea Sugar Scrub that'll buff away dead skin so you're left feeling silky smooth and smelling like a dream. The little grains are just the right size (not too rough, not too gentle), and it's packed with moisturizing goodness that won't irritate sensitive skin. You'll be obsessed with the value, too: you get a ton of product for a price that feels like a steal!
An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil to help control sebum, remove blackheads *and* dissolve makeup — some people are even left with visible residue on their fingertips! If you want to start double cleansing, this is the perfect first step.
A pack of single-use Clean Skin Club Clean Towels, because unlike a bath towel that may be full of bacteria, these are designed to be wayyy cleaner (which can help with acne concerns). Plus, they're super soft, making them extra gentle on your skin.
A Tirtir cushion foundation reviewers call "magic" because it's brightening and does not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. It lasts up to a whopping 72 hours and blends easily into your skin to hide blemishes, under-eye bags, and redness. Plus, it's buildable, so that means you can rock a natural *or* full glam look.
Or, Laura Geller Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Foundation, a powder foundation that leaves a smooth demi-matte finish (think not too dewy, not too matte). It offers light to medium coverage that you can build up without it looking cakey. Reviewers who are 50 years old and up especially love it for their mature skin since it doesn't settle into fine lines or cling to places they don't want.
Medicube's Collagen Night Wrapping Mask designed to improve your skin's elasticity and moisture retention, so you wake up with that glowy, well-rested look — the definition of ~beauty rest~. It goes on like a jelly and sets into a thin, clear layer you can peel off in the morning. Reviewers say it's gentle on acne-prone skin, and a few even said it gave them that viral glass skin finish.
A nongreasy Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Body Butter for those "ow, ow, ow" moments when you underestimated the power of the sun. It's packed with shea butter, coconut oil, and avocado oil to keep your skin moisturized for up to 12 hours and help soothe the sting. It can even help *prevent* peeling — 'cause flaky skin before summer officially starts is a no-go.
Medicube's Jelly Cream packed with collagen, niacinamide, and plant-derived squalane to help improve skin elasticity, fade dark spots, and prevent moisture loss. It has a thicker consistency, but absorbs quickly and is the perfect overnight cream for deep hydration!
Grace & Stella under eye masks so your tired eyes say "well-rested" instead of "running on four hours of sleep." They help reduce puffiness, brighten dark circles, and give your under-eyes a hit of hydration. With over 20,000+ 5-star reviews, adding this soothing step to your routine is kind of a no-brainer.
A Wonderskin Lip Stain in the shade "Whimsical" that goes on blue but leaves behind the prettiest rosy tint — and yep, it's totally waterproof and smudgeproof. Just swipe it on, wait 10-30 seconds, then wipe it off with a damp tissue to reveal a long-lasting flush. Reviewers love using it in place of lip liner since it doesn't budge and outlasts those pricey pencils. Fewer touch-ups and more money in your pocket? Yes, please.
A plumping Nature Republic Honey Melting lip tint, aka what would happen if your favorite lip balm and your go-to tint had a ridiculously hydrating baby. It glides on like a dream, feels like butter (without any stickiness, thankfully), and gives your lips a juicy pop of color that actually stays put. It'll keep your lips soft *and* give your pout a plumper look.
Naturium's The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash — it starts as a luxe oil and then transforms into a soft, soothing lather that leaves your skin feeling hydrated and glowier after you step out of the shower. Reviewers with sensitive, dry skin say it's gentle and addresses their itchiness and flakes without any irritation.
A Laneige lip sleeping mask that'll make dry, flaky lips feel so smooth, luscious, and nourished, you'll notice a difference after just one use! Just slather on the murumuru seed and shea butter formulation nightly — and hey, you may want to use it during the day, too, because it leaves a beautiful, glossy shine.
ColourPop's "Going Coconuts" nude eyeshadow palette — it serves up the *perfect* mix of smokey, shimmery shades without breaking the bank. It's packed with all the go-to colors you'll reach for daily *and* the ones you'll want for those weekend nights out. Reviewers rave about the minimal fallout, buttery blendability, and serious pigmentation.
A lightweight Saltair Body Oil in the scent "Santal Bloom" that sinks right into your skin to leave you glowy, hydrated, and nourished — no greasy residue in sight. Warm a few pumps between your hands and massage into your damp skin post-shower or bath. You'll be flowing and smelling like a dreamy blend of sandalwood, amber, and sensual musks.
A chip-resistant OPI RapiDry Quick Dry nail polish designed to set (without smudging!) in just 60 seconds. So if you need to click "next episode" while doing your self-care, you can do so without ruining your nails in the process. While it only lasts up to five days, the fast dry time makes an at-home mani less of a hassle *and* way cheaper 'cause the salon ain't cheap.
Or, a set of Glamnetic's press-on nails if you're feeling a little lazy 'cause these only take minutes to apply. These nails can be reshaped and reused, and they come in so many chic styles that choosing just one will be IMPOSSIBLE. Reviewers say they last a long time, too — one reviewer who's a mom said they lasted two full weeks through the holidays without falling off or budging!
A pack of Biodance's Bio-Collagen Real Deep masks for glowier, more hydrated skin by the time you wake up. Just apply it before bed, let it work its magic overnight, and peel it off once it turns transparent. It can help deeply moisturize, minimize the appearance of pores, and leave your skin looking radiant!
A tub of Medicube dual-textured toner pads with lavender, AHA, and BHA to help soothe, cleanse, and minimize the appearance of T-zone pores. Swipe on the textured side first to help exfoliate dead skin, then pat in the serum with the silky side.
A highly pigmented waterproof eyeshadow stick that applies as a crème but stays on like a powder — say what!? The candelilla wax–infused formula is super easy to blend, either with the built-in smudger end or just your finger, for a seamless look in seconds.

32 Beach Vacation Essentials You Shouldn't Forget

A sand-removal bag filled with a talc-free, reef-friendly powder to help remove the pesky particles that seemingly yell "ATTACK!" when they see you and your soft skin coming. I can't possibly be the only one who despises sand, right? A Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle featuring a *genius* design with a metal straw inside but a silicone straw on top for drinking comfort that seamlessly locks in place so you'll never find yourself drenched after it tumbles out of your flimsy beach chair cup holder. It'll also keep your drinks cold for 24 hours, so even if it takes you ALL day to hit your water quota, it'll still be as refreshing as when you first poured it. Plus, a Java Sok to keep your drink chilled and prevent it from dripping all over the paperback you've brought along to the beach — also a must-have for anyone who is tired of drinking watered-down iced coffee because it melted before they could set up their chair and umbrella. Burt's Bees After Sun Soother lotion for when you get attacked by the sun's harsh rays despite your best efforts. This lotion is packed with aloe and coconut oil to help your skin feel cooler after you accidentally got a bit too crispy sitting by the ocean. A portable lock box designed to be secured around two beach chairs, so you can stow your wallet/phone/keys away safely and enjoy a long swim without constantly having to poke your head up to check that your items are still there. A cooling towel you can soak in cold water and place around your neck to keep you feeling refreshed even if you've been running after your toddler in the hot summer heat for hours. Reviewers also say you can use it to cool down your dog, as well! A swiveling UPF 50 plus protection umbrella with an adjustable clamp you can attach to a chair (or a stroller, parents!) to create some much-needed shade on hot summer days. Baby Bum SPF 50 Sunscreen, a must-have for parents and their littles — it's unscented, moisturizing, 100% mineral based, vegan, cruelty free, and dye free. It'll certainly get the job done! And a sunscreen applicator that'll make covering your mini-me from head to toe a whole lot easier — especially if they're squirmy! Pour the lotion inside this travel size container, flip it upside down, shake it, and apply. No mess and no stress. Plus Supergoop Glowscreen for *your* exposed skin — it actually protects skin (hellooooo SPF 40👋) while making it shimmer just like Edward freakin' Cullen in the sunlight. And Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush to finally solve your dilemma over whether to spray/rub sunscreen onto your exposed scalp. Simply brush this translucent powder along your exposed part/hairline (after applying it all over your face, of course) to add some much-needed protection from the sun. A set of sand castle molds that'll solidify your "cool parent" status when you break 'em out at the beach and help your kiddos craft a structure worthy of a fairytale kingdom. Crab-shaped mesh bags and sifters tykes can use to gather all the exciting treasures they find while strolling along the beach or, honestly, even in their own backyard! A too-cute set of silicone beach toys in, dare I say, rather aesthetically pleasing colors you'll be proud to hand off to your kids for a day of fun in the sun. A rolling beach cart capable of holding everything a parent may need when heading out for the day with their kiddos in tow (which is A LOT of stuff, TBH). The wheels can handle most terrains, including sand and dirt, and it'll fold up flat to easily fit in the trunk of your car. A sporty colorblock bikini reviewers are obsessed with thanks to how comfortable and stylish it is — it has cheeky bottoms (hehe, fun!) and a subtle scoop neck that'll make you want to order it in other shades. A high-waisted swim skirt with built-in briefs to pair with your fave bikini top so you can happily grab endless drinks and snacks at your all-inclusive resort without worrying about too much of your bare butt touching the bar stool. (Yikes!) Or a loose-fitting cover-up in a fabulous print that'll flow behind you as you strut across the beach to grab a cocktail — you just might be mistaken for a glamorous Hollywood star during your next vacation. A scoop-neck monokini you'll adore so much you'll want to pose in it for your dating profile pic — yes, you're going to look that good in it! Bring on the influx of messages! A packable floppy hat that'll magically fold up so you can easily toss it into your beach bag or suitcase — what's the point of going to the beach if you're not going to bring the *draaamaaa* with a fabulous oversized hat? A sand-free blanket designed so that sand (or dirt) will roll right off it — because is there anything worse than finding debris in every crevice of your car after lounging at the beach all day? It can fit four adults on it and and folds up nice 'n' small, so you can carry it around with ease. Round sunglasses for anyone who constantly loses their favorite pair and is sick and tired of spending far too much money on replacements — these are stylish and *so* cost-effective you can stock up for the summer! SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes that'll become your saving grace if you're running around so much, you're constantly dripping in sweat. These babies are prescription strength and designed to take on hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating. These wipes did NOT come to play! A sweat-controlling whole body deodorant designed to be applied to ANYWHERE you typically get sweaty — and it's designed to keep you sweat-free for up to 72 hours in addition to being odor-free. Witchcraft? Perhaps, but, BRB, I need to dip my entire body in this substance for the next few months. Gold Bond Friction Defense Stick to help you fight the good fight against your thighs and summer chafing — is there anything more irritating (literally) then wearing your favorite dress only to be left with red, painful welts by the end of the day? I think not. A waterproof version of the beloved Taco, Cat, Goat Cheese, Pizza game — it's a card game you can play with your family for guaranteed giggles and a way to catch your breath from traipsing around in the ocean. Waterproof playing cards so you can get a fierce game of Go Fish going without fear of the moment your kids inevitably spill their drink all over the place. A JBL portable speaker that's both waterproof *and* dust-proof (incredible) and will help you *pump up the jams* during your next pool or beach day with your fam — it easily clips onto a chair, so no worries about having to physically carry it around. A bladeless personal neck fan that'll be your new answer to the question, "If you could bring one thing to a desert island, what would it be?" Toss this baby around your neck, stretch out on your bed, turn on The Real Housewives of Miami and enjoy the cool breeze you've been craving since you set foot on the beach. Or a battery-operated stroller fan with a flexible handle you can wrap around your beach chair or prop up on a towel to keep you at the perfect temperature while sipping margaritas. Playful clips that are as practical as they are pretty — they'll hold your towel in place on your chair so you won't have to chase it across the beach and can focus on more important things like sipping on a Diet Coke and listening to a podcast. And an inflatable couch you'll pat yourself on the back for bringing along on your tropical vacay — plop this bad boy in the middle of the beach for a cozy, relaxing, good time. You won't even need a pump to blow it up (just trap some air inside it) and it can hold up to 440 pounds, in case your entire squad wants to pile in and snug under the stars.

36 High Quality Yet Affordable Products

A cult-favorite Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball reviewers compare to the $25 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! 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 tinted lip balm that's eerily close to the same magic as "Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. 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 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. Wild Iris Musk Body Wash, the summer-friendly sister of the TikTok-famous "old money" Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired body wash. I am a massive fan of both — the moisturizing clean is so fresh, and the scents are so DELIGHTFULLY luscious without overpowering — but trust me when I say that Wild Iris Musk is *the* scent of summer. It's floral, soft, playful, and grounded all at once. (And yes, just like the original version, it smells ... expensive 👀.) A set of golden bracelets giving ~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!" 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 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 delightfully affordable instant foot peeling spray for anyone ready to go full YEEHAW!! on a pedicure, without the big salon price tag. This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck. 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 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! 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. 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. 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. 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. Eos Cashmere Vanilla Cashmere Whipped Oil Body Butter — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in a luxurious body butter form, and it's every bit as decadent as it sounds. Now you can spend all your self-care nights fully moisturized in a cloud of whipped vanilla, musk, and soft caramel. 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. A set of biodegradable ultra-soft face towels inspired by the much pricier $18 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. 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 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 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. 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 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? Kitsch's flat claw clip with some modern meets retro vibes that will give your hair a chic little ~pop~ of volume and hold. Reviewers are especially impressed by how strong these little clips are, and how much hair they can hold! Reviewers also note that these make it more comfortable to lean back on chairs, since the claw won't dig into your head. A set of adorable pastel "unbreakable" deep plates perfect for anyone who wants to be practical, but doesn't want to sacrifice on prettiness. These chic plates are unexpectedly lightweight, but are still dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe for up to three minutes. 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!! 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 removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. 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 pair of super lightweight ruffled elastic shorts you will be SO happy you invested in when you need an elevated piece to toss on without thinking, like when you're walking the dog early in the a.m. or heading to a last-minute outdoor lunch with pals. A chic structured toiletry organizer with a "window" so you can look inside and easily access whatever you need on the go. Reviewers especially love how the structure of it stops items like beauty products or medications from getting crushed inside (and that it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the $100 Truffle Clarity version). A pair of elevated, effortlessly chic wide leg petal sweatpants that look like they fell out of an Anthropologie ad. Reviewers love how cozy and breathable these are, and that the style is perfect for indoor lounging *and* outdoor errands. A charming set of ceramic egg trays so versatile you'll always be glad to have them on hand — these are great for fresh and hardboiled egg storage, egg decorating, *and* for a lil' twist on an solo charcuterie journey if you want to put some snacks in each little slot. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your human eyes, designed to decrease stress and encourage ~deep sleep~. They also feature a 3D contour, so they're hollowed out in the middle and won't rest right on top of your eyes. A cheerful fruit bowl for a pop of deeply functional color in your kitchen — this thing is secretly also a colander, so you can wash your fruit and leave 'em sitting pretty on the counter to dry. A sophisticated laptop tote bag so you can easily (and chicly!) carry not just your tech, but the whole arsenal of I'm A Very Busy Business Person things you need to get through the day. Reviewers compare this to the $100 Beis version, and especially love the unexpected depth and pockets included. 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.

Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush, aka your scalp's BFF this summer — reviewers don't just swear by this for face coverage and a protective setting powder, but for protecting their hairline without their hair getting goopy from sunscreen scalp sprays or regular sunscreen lotion.
