Buzz Feed6 days ago
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.
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.
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 also tastes like you're perpetually eating a s'more for less than $5?? My friends, life is good.
Dove's Coconut Milk & Sugar Lychee Body Wash so moisturizing, gentle, and decadently-scented that you're going to feel fully transported to your ~happy place~ every time you lather it on. This is especially lovely for sensitive skin, since the plant milk base is nutrient-rich and sulfate-free to keep your skin feeling eeextra soft and loved.
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 floral cover edition of Burn After Writing, a guided journal countless TikTokers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go.
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 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.
A handy, aesthetically pleasing kitchen measurement conversion magnet for the avid baker who is like, "Avoiding math, but make it fashion." This pretty little magnet will make sure your pretty little head doesn't have to break itself with equations the next time you bake.
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.
A set of dainty but surprisingly strong bow-shaped hair clips to pair with all your frilliest summer dresses or to add a soft touch your more structured work outfits.
E.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint, the $5 answer to the beloved $26 Benetint that does just as brilliant of 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 are especially key on a day when the sun is showing no mercy.
McCormick's Potato Topping Seasoning for anyone who's not afraid to get a little feral about their air-fried, mashed, and baked potatoes — this blend of salt, garlic, and asiago cheese is so mouthwateringly delicious that you'll be dumping it on everything from popcorn to grilled cheese to guacamole.
A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts so comfy and adorable that you are about to put all other styles on notice for the rest of the year — especially since these are a MUCH cheaper alternative to the $98 Reformation version.
A set of Honey Rosemary Moscow Mule tea bags — all the sophistication of tea and the 😜 of a cheeky cocktail, without the expensive bar bill and all the extra sugar to throw you out of whack. All you have to do is add three ounces of cold water, 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, and the tea sachet into a glass, and you'll have a delicious (far more AFFORDABLE!!) cocktail in one minute.
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 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.
Spooky Summer, another beloved stress relief coloring book from Southern Lotus, a brand that's made itself famous on TikTok for its cozy, relaxing, easy-to-draw themes. This one is full of happy little spooks enjoying their favorite summer ~haunts~.
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 set of vintage-style botanical wall art prints to affordably bring all the timeless beauty of nature into your home without actually having to venture out into it.
Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette as an $8 alternative to the $88 (!!) Makeup Forever Palette. This includes a range of highly-pigmented, super blendable shades to help you contour, highlight, and bronze on days when your Gcal just say "GO GO GO" all the way down. (Psst — this is the same brand behind the TikTok-famous $6 Under Eye Brightener, so you know they mean business!)
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 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.
Kitsch's new "Ultra Petite" Satin Scrunchies for anyone who loves the hair-protective style of satin, but wants a lower profile than the big billowing versions. These are super gentle and prevent creasing, but still have an all-day firm hold.
A slouchy open-back yoga top reviewers compare to a popular mall brand's $48 version 👀. If you're looking for a loose, soft, breezy option that won't overheat you in the summer, this "workout in the front, party in the back" shirt has got your name on it.
A versatile ribbon scarf you can use as the perfect accent to any summer outfit, whether you're using it to tie back your hair, add some color and whimsy to your purse, or using as an elegant ascot. It's like buying a bunch of accessories for the price of one!
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 effortlessly chic woven straw summer clutch to pair perfectly with any summer outfit, whether you're kicking back at the beach or fancying it up for a wedding. This is basically the purse equivalent of that one friend of yours who's always like "Yeah, I'm down" before you even tell them the plans.
A set of golden bracelets with so much variety that you'll be set for all moods and occasions, whether it's a low key weekday that calls for one dainty bracelet or a sparkly Friday night that calls for the whole bracelet brigade.
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.
An absolutely darling satin ribbon bow bookmark with such irresistible Belle vibes that it'll be a miracle if all your local pots and pans don't start singing to you as you pass.
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.
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 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 super lightweight, loose-fitting, high-neck muscle tank for fans of the Lululemon version at a *much* lower price point. This is a breezy *dream* thanks to the quick-dry fabric, the cross-over pleat in the back, and the slight petal hem at the bottom.

JoJo Siwa Cries at Chris Hughes's Compliment About Her Hairline

JoJo Siwa just experienced an emotional revelation thanks to a sweet compliment from her boyfriend, Chris Hughes. In a clip shared across her social media profiles on July 24, the 'Karma' singer burst into tears as Chris told her she had a 'really good hairline.' The comment struck a chord with the former child star, as she revealed the feature used to be the 'number one thing' she was once bullied for in the public eye. 'I'm drying my hair right now, and he goes, 'You have a really good hairline.' That's the number one thing I was bullied for as a child,' JoJo said in the video as she wiped away her tears. The Love Island alum then reassured her and doubled down on his compliment, as he hugged her, saying, 'I love you. You have a really good hairline, it's got so much hair.' Despite popular belief that her signature high ponytail caused a bald spot and a receding hairline, the reality TV personality clarified that a 'stress rash' from her Dance Moms days had actually formed on her head in 2022. 'No, it's actually not from the ponytails, because if it was from my ponytails—considering it went on this side—it would be this,' she said in a TikTok clip at the time. 'When I was little, I had a really bad stress rash right here on Dance Moms, and I would pick at it all day long.' JoJo added, 'I damaged every single hair follicle that has ever been right there.' She reflected on her vulnerable moment with Chris in her caption, in which she wrote, 'He had no idea of the 2017-2020 hairline memes that I'm not affected by on the daily anymore, but him saying this out of thin air literally finished healing a part of me.' 'It's almost like I had a band aid over it for the last 8 years and just was leaving it there scared to look under it to see if it's healed,' she continued. 'He removed it being like why do u have this on before I could even explain what it was. Lucky lucky girl I am. Don't even think I realize how lucky sometimes.'

Country music singer explains how he got ‘kicked out' of his own concert

Country music singer Dylan Marlowe is explaining what led to him getting kicked out of a concert at which he performed. Marlowe, best known for his 2023 hit 'Boys Back Home,' played Country Jam in Eau Claire, Wisconsin last weekend. After his set, the musician went to go watch Jake Owen's performance from a select front-of-house spot, Parade reported. However, Marlowe was later escorted out by security. 'Getting kicked out of a concert I just played,' Marlow captioned a since-deleted video on Saturday, July 19. 'Got kicked out of our concert trying to watch Jake Owen. Good job, dude. I'm a huge threat.' On Monday, Marlowe posted another video to TikTok clearing up the situation. 'I just want to hop on here and kinda clear the air a little bit of what I posted yesterday,' the 28-year-old singer said. 'I took the video down after sleeping on it and watching church this morning. I just decided that it wasn't fair for that festival to have this video blowing up about their festival when it was really just one bad apple in the whole thing.' Marlowe explained he had 'All Access' and 'Artist Credentials' passes. He also had been watching Owens from the top of a tower at the front of the house when he and a friend were approached by security. 'This dude comes up and says we can't be there,' Marlowe explained. 'We were like, 'Hey. We have 'All Access' wristbands given to our tour manager for us to wear to be anywhere we want to be. … So we had two different credentials. We're like, 'Hey. We have these. We're good.' He was like, 'No. I don't care.'" Marlowe explained the security guard suggested they watch the show from the pit. Of course, the singer had finished performing and didn't want to draw attention to himself. 'The last thing I want to do is make a scene during Jake Owen's set because that, to me, is disrespectful,' he said. So, Marlowe and his friend moved to a different location and was told to move again by the same security guard. He added that they were both removed by police officers at the request of the security personnel. 'We walk downstairs to where this guy continues to say, 'Hey, you gotta get the F out of here. You gotta get the F outta here. You're not allowed to be down here either,'' Marlowe said. 'We had these passes, and we knew we were allowed to be there. These cops came up and I was like, 'Oh God.' So we talk to these cops and we're like, 'Hey guys. We had these passes. Not sure what the confusion is because we were told these are 'All Access' passes. We're just trying to watch the set,' to where the cops responded, 'This security is our boss and he's telling us to get ya'll out of here.'' Marlowe said that's when he became 'rude back to the guy.' 'I'm not going to paint it like I was this perfectly great dude who wasn't rude back to him after he was rude to me,' Marlowe said. 'After that, there were definitely a few heated words exchanged with that guy, nothing crazy, but I feel like he was rude to me and I was rude back to him, and I shouldn't have been… so I just wanted to clear things up. That's where he grabbed my shirt, yanked me out, just wanted to clear the air a little bit to say to the festival, there's no hard feelings. We had a great time. To that dude, I forgive you. That's pretty much all I have to say.'
