Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that has been *all the rage* on TikTok (which is how you know it's good).

Gradient tempered glass for your iPhone — it'll act as a privacy screen (sorry to the Nosy Nancy sitting next to you on the subway, they won't be able to see your texts to your mom), will help filter blue light, prevent your screen from scratching, and add a little bit of *~flair~* to your phone in the process.

43 Products For Bargain Lovers

E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops that'll quickly become your most talked about skincare item after you see how incredible it'll leave your face looking and feeling. It's packed with hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid and can be used solely as a serum or mixed in with your go-to foundation for a hydrating boost your skin is likely craving. Reviewers love using it instead of the pricier (but VERY similar) Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Lawless's "Forget The Filler" comes in a variety of delectable flavors (birthday cake!!!). It hydrates lips overnight (similar to Laneige's repairing sleep mask) and will make your pout fuller. It's made of shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and a stimulating peptide complex that work so magically together you won't ever want to run out. A darling heart-shaped Paris Hilton cast-iron Dutch oven you can leave out on display in your Barbie-esque kitchen, obviously, and also utilize for whipping up delicious recipes. It'll have you saying "Le Who-set?" whenever someone asks if it's from another, pricier brand. A pasta maker, so when you're in the mood to indulge in an Italian feast, you won't need to shell out half your paycheck at a restaurant with a red and white checkered tablecloth. Pick up a bottle of wine, turn on a Dean Martin playlist, and have yourself an evening! A glass mushroom lamp because scattered lighting/creating a mood is very much having a moment right now. Don't break the bank on one from Urban Outfitters or West Elm when you might just change your mind about it when trends shift again! This one is lovely, unique, and comes in a bunch of colors that'll go with your space. Cremo White Jasmine Amber Skin Moisturizing Body Wash inspired by the fancy (and not quite as affordable) Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume — body wash is filled with scents of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber and will make every shower feel like a luxury. And Cremo "Vintage Suede" body wash reviewers say smells just like Tom Ford thanks to its rich scents of white moss and rich amber. You're going to be sniffing your arms constantly after lathering up with this baby. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke's on them! A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than 20 bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your daily stack. Plus, a plated, jewel-embedded ring with Cartier love ring vibes, so you can enjoy the same style without shelling out thousands of dollars. This take on the classic accessory even has a bit of extra razzle-dazzle to it the original simply doesn't! A layered necklace set reviewers have praised for not tarnishing *or* turning their skin green (no offense, Elphaba) which is unheard of at this price point! It'll make curating a cool style easier than ever (since it's a set, duh) but they each also be worn separately with necklaces you already have and love. Stylish chunky teardrop earrings that are a dead ringer for the Bottega Veneta ones, but you'll still be able to afford to treat yourself to an iced coffee after snagging them. They're gold-plated (sweeeet), lightweight, and reviewers have said they don't affect their sensitive ears. A set of two lightweight tinted lip balms with a touch of gloss that'll be perfect for anyone who wants to add some color to their pout but keep it looking au natural. It's super similar to the viral Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm but costs shockingly less. A facial steamer for anyone who adores splurging on facials every so often at the spa but knows, realistically, they gotta cut back and put their hard earned dollars towards something else (like a mortgage, oops). This lil' machine will let you reap those same benefits but from home (ooooh). It creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates skin to soften, hydrate, open up pores, *and* help relieve sinus congestion. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how it smells similarly to the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only about FIVE DOLLARS. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume for anyone who tried the sample size of YSL's Black Opium and fell in love with it but simply doesn't have $95 to spend on smelling lovely. Luckily for you, this one is super similar and will leave you with enough money left to *also* treat yourself to lunch. Mirrored cat-eye sunglasses reviewers are actually obsessed with. (They have over 12,000 5-star ratings!) They're reminiscent of styles designed by Dior but so inexpensive you won't need to cry out "NOOOOOOOOOO!" if you accidentally sit on them. 😅 A set of stoneware bowls that are so lovely and well made they could easily be mistaken for a West Elm item — their depth makes them perfect for everything from salad to cereal *and* they're dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. An elegant set of square wineglasses you'll want to raise a toast to because they're just that lovely. They have a shocking resemblance to the ones you've likely been eyeing from Crate & Barrel but haven't wanted to commit to. These will certainly do the trick and garner you tons of compliments the next time you host a girls' night. A buttery soft pair of dreamlux leggings reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align (ooh, la, la). These beauties are super comfortable for lazy days, but if for some reason you decide you want to actually break a sweat in them they'll certainly be up to the task. Get it, girrrrrrl! And/or trendy flare leggings, you've likely seen all your fave influencers rockin' and wondered to yourself, "Can I pull that look off?" There's only one way to find out, friends — at this *very* affordable price of less than $20, you might as well give 'em a chance! And a pair of butterluxe faux matte leather leggings you'll likely send around to every single one of your friends to buy, too — they're high-waisted (the only way to go, IMO), comfortable, have an added element of style regular ol' leggings simply lack and reviewers keep praising them for being better than the Spanx version. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — toss your old concealer aside! This one has become the internet's holy grail 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. And I haven't even mentioned yet that it's only six bucks!!! E.l.f. Power Grip Primer that'll become one of your most reached for products in your makeup routine — it's packed with hyaluronic acid to keep your feeling moist all day and goes on clear, making it the perfect foundation to build your makeup on top of. Basic white sneakers for anyone who is forever searching for the perfect footwear to pair with their casual outfits — these will complete your closet without the hefty price tag of other simple but elevated sneaks'. Reviewers love how supportive they feel and that they have zero break-in period. A cutesy little table lamp you'll adore whether you prefer to-may-toh or toe-mah-toe. However you phrase it, this Urban Outfitters look-a-like will hold you over until your freshly planted ones start to grow. OR! A faux monstera plant that'll make it appear like you 1. have impeccable decorating skills and 2. you know how to take care of plants. Even if neither of these things are true, no one visiting your home has to know. Let them go on thinking you're a natural interior designer/gardener. A glass pour-over coffee maker that'll not only help you make a rich at-home coffee (instead of venturing daily to your overpriced coffee shop of choice) but will look SO gorgeous on your counter. Don't pretend you don't typically have the urge to take an Instagram pic of your freshly made coffee — this will look beautiful in the background. An electric kettle with a Smeg-like look to it that'll look so fabulous in your kitchen — you'll want to offer anyone who visits a cup of tea or a pour-over coffee the second they set foot inside. It has a thermometer to water to the exact temperature you need for your bevs and has an automatic shutoff built into it. Or a pack of instant caramel iced lattes that a caffeine-craving wizard must've created after he tired of spending tons of money on overpriced lattes. All you have to do is stir it with a spoon to make delicious, frothy clouds! Clover-shaped cabinet knobs with Van Cleef vibes (if you know you know) that'll add some glitz and glam to any piece of furniture with drawers. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones designed to look like AirPods Max but without the need to save up for months to afford 'em. They're available in a bunch of fun colors and feature cushy padding your ears will thank you for. Additionally, they have a built-in mic (so you can still call your mom on your walk back from the gym), have noise-blocking, and boast 10 hours of playtime per charge. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel to add to your skincare routine after taking a quick read of what incredible ingredients lie within — we're talkin' a beautiful marriage of caffeine and hyaluronic acid that'll wake your eyes up faster than chugging a cold brew without costing you more than $6. A scented cuticle oil that'll prep your skin for a gorgeous at-home mani — it's infused with real flowers for anyone who wants to hydrate, moisturize, and strengthen their cuticles while also literally embracing the "florals for spring" vibe. A mini belted pack with a Lululemon look to it but without the hefty price tag — it'll force you to stop overpacking your bag with things you simply don't need for a quick stroll or trip to Target — it'll fit your wallet, keys, phone, hand sanitizer, and lip balm (the *actual* essentials). Leave your 10-foot-long CVS coupon and half-eaten granola bar in your tote bag, OK? A faux snakeskin laptop tote bag that'll slither right into your shopping cart and your heart. It'll make you appear put together even on the mornings when you're running late, toss your laptop and phone into it, and dash out the door. It's a no-brainer for anyone who loves the Béis version but knows that would just get beat up from lugging it around various coffee shops or to the office. Double-buckle slides for anyone who adores the look of Birkenstocks but has a more *~footloose and fancy-free ~* style when it comes to their footwear choices. These are just as comfortable but come in some more playful styles. Or classic jelly sandals you'll get tons of praise for since they are totally having *a moment* right now. Go ahead and relive your childhood even though you're an adult with a full-time job and bills. Faux leather slip-ons with Hermès vibes (ooh, la la) because you deserve to feel fancy-schmancy without dumping your entire savings into a shoe purchase. The H-shape is timeless and will pair beautifully with all of your go-to summer looks, I promise. A pair of platform slippers reviewers are looooving because they're super similar to the popular Ugg Tazz style. You can wear these cozy, fleece-lined babies both indoors and outdoors, so no need to take them off until bedtime. 😉 A bodysuit with over 24,000 5-star reviews, which feels pretty significant for a stretchy, barely there piece of clothing, don't ya think? It's hailed for being breathable, soft, perfectly accentuating of natural curves, and delightfully like Skims. Sounds like a winner to me! Plus, a TikTok-famous maxi dress reviewers say fits similarly to the popular Skims dress. It's the basic maxi bodycon number you've been hunting for — and it's saying "Honey, I'm home!) And a smocked midi dress that looks very similar to the iconic (albeit pricier) Hill House Nap Dress. It was clearly designed with frolicking in flower-filled fields in mind — just imagine it fanning out around you while you skip and twirl through some picturesque tulips. 🌷

First overnight treatment I've used where my lips genuinely feel hydrated and plumper in the morning.

Now I use it every night!" — Hilary Get it from Amazon $22 (available in three flavors). 2. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that has been *all the rage* on TikTok (which is how you know it's good). It's lightweight, has a touch of gloss to it, and the shade will have you saying "mhmmmm, honey!" from the second you apply it. Amazon BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has personally tested this baby out. She said: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart." Get it from Amazon for $25. 3. Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash." Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer 4. A motivating daily planner that literally says "You've got this!" at the top — it'll also look oh-so-cute on your desk or fridge and has sections to keep track of appointments, how much water you're drinking, a to-do list, what you ate (meal prep, perhaps?!) and a general notes/doodling area. Each pad comes with 50 sheets. Promising review:"I use this first thing when I get in the office in the mornings as a 'personal to-do' before our morning meetings. It reminds me to stay productive when I might not have work to do in the office at that moment, but it also reminds me throughout the day of the intention I set early on. It's been a great visual reminder of my personal goals while I'm achieving professional goals." — Chelsea Ashton Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 15 styles). 5. Gradient tempered glass for your iPhone — it'll act as a privacy screen (sorry to the Nosy Nancy sitting next to you on the subway, they won't be able to see your texts to your mom), will help filter blue light, prevent your screen from scratching, and add a little bit of *~flair~* to your phone in the process. Psst: Read more about the effects of blue light and eye strain at UC Davis Health and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Promising review:"I am so glad I ordered this privacy screen. It is perfect, easy on the eyes and aesthetically pleasing. My partner could not see my screen while seated next to me which I was thankful for since I was finishing up some last minute Christmas shopping." — Amazon Customer Get a set of two for the iPhone 14 Pro Max from Amazon for $18.99 (also available for iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max). 6. A dazzling candle warmer with a lampshade reminiscent of a high-end crystal chandelier you'd likely see in the middle of a ballroom on Bridgerton. Amazon, Promising review: "I loved this candle warmer! I love that it has different functions, even a timer to set how long you want it on. The lights are super cool, too, and you don't get that smoky smell when you blow out a candle. Definitely obsessed!" — Laura Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in two styles). 7. And a fan favorite Otherland candle that'll make your home smell divine while also adding a pretty piece of decor to the room. If it were acceptable to soak your entire body in a candle like want to choose one of these. Amazon I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the US. Additionally, Otherland is a small business! Get it from Amazon for $30. 8. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara you'll be racing to add to your cart after seeing reviewer photos. It features a lightweight tubing technology that magically wraps around lashes, transforming them from *drab to fab* without taking away from your natural look. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 9. A facial steamer for anyone who adores soaking up the steam from their too-hot showers but is leaving you all pruney. This lil' machine will let you reap those same benefits but from your bed (ooooh). It creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates skin to soften, hydrate, open up pores, *and* help relieve sinus congestion. Note that this comes with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful when performing extractions on yourself, as these can injure your skin if not used properly. Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion, and it opened up my pores, too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings, including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me, and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in three colors). 10. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only FIVE DOLLARS. Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!). Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $5.78 (available in two styles). 11. A flower-shaped pill organizer that'll last you a whoooooole lot longer than those supermarket flowers you picked up earlier this week — for a pill organizer it is *quite* aesthetically pleasing, and each "petal" is detachable, so if you're spending a night or two away from home you can pop 'em off and take only what you need with you. 🌸 Promising review: "Travel with ease!! Before this product, I would take all my supplement bottles with me in my purse, which took up an unnecessary amount of room. Now, with this product, I can travel easily with all my daily supplements. Takes up minimal space in my purse and actually encourages me to take my daily supplements. Not to mention that I love the color and style. Can fit up to nine of my largest capsules." — Kaci Allen Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in seven styles). 12. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan. I use this spray nightly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! Promising review:"This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have backups and never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." — Carlos G Get it from Amazon for $8.49 for a pack of two. 13. A set of stoneware bowls that are so lovely and well made they could easily be mistaken for a West Elm item — their depth makes them perfect for everything from salad to cereal *and* they're dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. These bowls are microwave-, freezer-, dishwasher-, and oven safe! Promising review:"I legit think salads taste better out of this dish. I can't explain it but it's amazing and I'm now eating more salads. Maybe because a bowl holds dressing better than a plate and I'm not worried about running the greens off the side of a plate but can scoop them up with ease with the edges of this dish? Questions that don't really need answering I suppose but illustrates how great this dish is. Buy the set, you won't regret it." — ANH Get a set of two from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six colors). 14. A Carhartt beanie that'll keep your head nice 'n' toasty without sacrificing an ounce of style — these are a tried-and-true classic you'll likely find yourself ordering in different colors.

Promising review:"I use this literally every day. It works so well; my hair feels great and grows pretty well. For reference, I have curly hair, which is very fine. if I use too much, my hair looks and feels greasy, but it also does that with most products.

Amazon Promising review:"I audibly said 'WOW' just stepping into these. They're crazy soft on the inside and smooth on the outside.

It's easy to apply and gives my hair a neat, polished look. Plus, it's nourishing, so it doesn't dry out my hair. Perfect for creating sleek styles, like buns or ponytails. Definitely a staple in my hair care routine!" — Julia Get it from Amazon for $7.59. 25. A Boon folding toddler tower you can stow away when your tyke isn't begging you to use it. (So, never?) It's sturdy, has grippy nonslip feet, an adjustable height, and is exactly what your dying-to-always-be-hands-on kid needs to partake in nightly cooking or daily crafting. My son is a little over 2.5 and extremely interested in being involved and independent, which is a bit exasperating. We didn't have the right tools to let him help safely in the kitchen until this toddler tower was introduced to our lives. It's not bulky, which is great because we have enough kid stuff all over our home, and I love that at the end of the day, I can fold it up and put it aside. It's very sturdy, but I had my son practice climbing up and down on his own in a carpeted area for good measure (he did so like a pro). It can easily be wiped clean (love) and holds up to 50 lbs, so it'll be useful for quite some time! Promising review:"The standing pad is large and slip-proof, providing a sturdy and safe place for toddlers to stand. The bar is great to keep toddlers secure and contained on the stand. The bar folds down, and the tower stores it conveniently. The white color is chic. The materials are high quality. I looked months for a toddler tower and I am extremely satisfied I purchased this one because of the quality, safety, and convenience to store." — Paige M. Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in white or grey). 26. A SinkShroom strainer you won't know how you lived without because it'll keep your kitchen sink unclogged no matter how much gunk you fill it with. I bought this for myself, and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually, when my husband makes sauce from scratch, I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom (which comes from a small business!). My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer. Promising review:"I've been a fan of the SinkShroom and TubShroom, and this is the best product from the line so far. My kitchen sinks simply do not clog anymore, so there's no more reaching into a bunch of water to unclog anything with my hand." — Brady Amerson Get it from Amazon for $9.98. 27. A super absorbent floral dish drying mat to bring pretty vibes into your kitchen and to your least favorite chore (doing the dishes, siiiiiiiigh). The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can easily rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding. Promising review: "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." — Nana M. Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors/styles). 28. An outlet light for anyone who has accidentally walked into a wall one (or two) times too many when getting up in the middle for a glass of water — this lil' gadget will subtly light your way without the need for a bulkier option. Amazon Promising review:"I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." — LMK Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in four colors and three sizes). 29. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — toss your old concealer aside! This one has become the internet's holy grail 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. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. I've personally tested this out and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 30. A mason jar cold brew maker in case you'd like your coffee maker to fit in with your home's carefully curated aesthetic. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers! County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories. Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and colors). 31. And a cult-favorite Anthropologie Icon Juice Glass that'll make every morning cup of iced coffee feel like an Instagram-worthy moment. I am such a sucker for these glasses. My husband is getting increasingly annoyed at how little space there is in our kitchen cabinet because I cannot stop acquiring these cups. They have a nice weight to them, wash really well (I typically just run hot water through them for a bit then dry them with a towel since they are not dishwasher safe), and make my morning coffee feel a bit fancier. Love, love, love them. Promising review:"I love these glasses. Heavy quality glass. They are great for cocktails, juice, or a Diet Coke." — Kpeppers Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in 23 styles). 32. Or an aesthetic bear–covered mug in case you actually drink your coffee hot — it'll be the cutest one in your cabinet, is microwave safe, and likely to become as cherished as the plush teddy you don't admit to still snuggling with every night.

Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 34. Basic white sneakers for anyone who is forever searching for the perfect footwear to pair with their casual outfits — these will complete your closet without the hefty price tag of other simple but elevated sneaks'. Reviewers love how supportive they feel and that they have zero break-in period. Amazon, Promising review:"I bought these shoes prior to a long weekend getaway to New Orleans. They did not disappoint! I walked 14 miles in three days and my feet were 100% comfortable! These shoes run true to size and were perfect for my size 7 narrow feet. Also, the arch support in these babies is amazing!" — Melissa Get them from Amazon for $28.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and four styles). 35. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process. Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in seven styles). 36. And a triangular book page holder — an absolutely genius idea for readers who simply *need* somewhere handy to place their book when they start to fall asleep mid-reading. It perfectly fits on nightstands and is designed to *~aesthetically~* hold your spot — it also has a place to put your glasses and a phone. How much better does this evening sound than shouting across the table in a crowded restaurant? Sign me up. Amazon Besuerte Store is a small business. The larger size has a spot for a cup as well! Promising review:"I took a chance on this one despite it having very few reviews. It took a little bit to arrive but the product was well worth the wait. I love that it is a beautiful solid wood piece and was packaged in a way that didn't require assembly and would not be damaged upon delivery. Overall, I'd say it exceeded my expectations and is priced well." — R. Young Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles). 37. A 12-pack of squishy animal-themed gel pens (complete with 24 colorful refills!) that'll look adorable hanging out on your desk. There's enough in the pack that you can graciously pass 'em out to your colleagues, too. Promising review: " These pens are fun for the senses! I didn't even realize they came with ink refills until I opened up the package. The gel ink refills are my favorite!" — Gomez-Orlioglu Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of three and five). 38. A bow-shaped resin night-light to add some coquette girly-girl vibes to your middle-of-the-night bathroom visits. It'll also look oh-so-cute during the day when it's not lit! Urban Outfitters Get it from Urban Outfitters for $18, and check out these bow string lights! 39. A 100% leakproof 30-ounce stainless-steel BrüMate Era tumbler because there are few things as exciting these days as a shiny new emotional support cup. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer calls this her go-to water bottle. She says, "Let me tell you, this is my new favorite water bottle. I can lock the lid with a quick twist, and throw it sideways in any tote and not even think *twice* about it leaking at all!" Promising review: "Better than the rest. I've tried all the other brands, and this cup is THE BEST by far! Love that I can toss it in my bag or onto my passenger seat without worrying about a mess. It goes everywhere with me!" — Lauren Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes and 17 colors). 40. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" — aka an absolute essential for achieving peak comfort goals in your living room. It features a spot to hold your remote, two mugs, and two additional beverages. You honestly may never want to leave your couch again. Amazon Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review:"This thing is great! I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors). 41. And stylish Beats Studio Pro headphones that'll be worth the splurge, I promise. They have built-in spatial audio (it creates a surround sound–like experience), over 40 hours of battery, noise-canceling and transparency modes, and are ridiculously easy to pair via Bluetooth. Heather Braga / BuzzFeed I got the Beats Solo 4 headphones for Christmas and was so excited that 1. they were pink and 2. to really try out my first pair of over-the-ear headphones. The sound quality was fabulous compared to the earbuds I've always used, but I was a little displeased with how the ear cups felt over my ears. I felt like I couldn't wear them for long periods of time or that I needed to take my earrings off to feel more comfortable. Then I was offered the chance to test out the Beats Studio Pro headphones (the ones Kim Kardashian helped design) and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to compare the two styles. Right off the bat I prefer the Studio Pros, solely because the ear cups are a bit larger and cushier — they are so comfy I can easily wear them for hours and nearly forget they're on my head. They charge quickly and *stay* charged for what feels like forever. It took me two seconds to connect them to both my computer and my phone *and* it's extremely easy to swap between the two. I'm an immediate fan and, honestly, can't see myself using another set of headphones possibly ever. Get them from Amazon: in sandstone for $349 and moon, dune, or earth for $179.99.

40 Items You'll Use Every Day Because They're Just That Stinkin' Good

1. Lawless's "Forget The Filler" in a variety of delectable flavors (birthday cake!!!) — it'll hydrate your lips overnight (similar to Laneige's repairing sleep mask) and make your pout fuller. It's made of shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and a stimulating peptide complex that work so magically together you won't ever want to run out. Promising review: "Really makes a difference. First overnight treatment I've used where my lips genuinely feel hydrated and plumper in the morning. I'm pleasantly surprised — I bought this on a whim after a rec from The Strategist and almost canceled the order. Now I use it every night!" — Hilary Get it from Amazon $22 (available in three flavors). 2. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey that has been *all the rage* on TikTok (which is how you know it's good). It's lightweight, has a touch of gloss to it, and the shade will have you saying "mhmmmm, honey!" from the second you apply it. Amazon BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has personally tested this baby out. She said: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart." Get it from Amazon for $25. 3. Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream featuring scent notes of vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel you'll enjoy applying to your skin just as much as you'd like it as an ice cream sundae. It's also filled with vitamin E, caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract to help smooth, firm, and hydrate your skin. BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says, "I've used this stuff before and can confirm that 1) the scent is indeed intoxicating and 2) everything from this brand has scents that really STICK to you. I'm currently using the Beija Flor body wash and I can smell it on my skin hours later — which is pretty rare for a body wash." Promising review: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24. 4. A motivating daily planner that literally says "You've got this!" at the top — it'll also look oh-so-cute on your desk or fridge and has sections to keep track of appointments, how much water you're drinking, a to-do list, what you ate (meal prep, perhaps?!) and a general notes/doodling area. Each pad comes with 50 sheets. Promising review:"I use this first thing when I get in the office in the mornings as a 'personal to-do' before our morning meetings. It reminds me to stay productive when I might not have work to do in the office at that moment, but it also reminds me throughout the day of the intention I set early on. It's been a great visual reminder of my personal goals while I'm achieving professional goals." — Chelsea Ashton Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 15 styles). 5. Gradient tempered glass for your iPhone — it'll act as a privacy screen (sorry to the Nosy Nancy sitting next to you on the subway, they won't be able to see your texts to your mom), will help filter blue light, prevent your screen from scratching, and add a little bit of *~flair~* to your phone in the process. Psst: Read more about the effects of blue light and eye strain at UC Davis Health and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Promising review:"I am so glad I ordered this privacy screen. It is perfect, easy on the eyes and aesthetically pleasing. My partner could not see my screen while seated next to me which I was thankful for since I was finishing up some last minute Christmas shopping." — Amazon Customer Get a set of two for the iPhone 14 Pro Max from Amazon for $18.99 (also available for iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max). 6.

Amazon, Promising review: "I loved this candle warmer! I love that it has different functions, even a timer to set how long you want it on. The lights are super cool, too, and you don't get that smoky smell when you blow out a candle. Definitely obsessed!" — Laura Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in two styles). 7. And a fan favorite Otherland candle that'll make your home smell divine while also adding a pretty piece of decor to the room. If it were acceptable to soak your entire body in a candle like want to choose one of these. Amazon I'm SUCH a fan of Otherland candles. I've been burning them in my home for years and, honestly, cannot get enough of them. I've given tons of them as gifts as well, and everyone has always raved about how much they love them. They each have a burn time of 55 hours, are made of a coconut and soy wax blend, contain a cotton wick, and are hand poured in the US. Additionally, Otherland is a small business! Get it from Amazon for $30 (available in 13 scents). 8. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara you'll be racing to add to your cart after seeing reviewer photos. It features a lightweight tubing technology that magically wraps around lashes, transforming them from *drab to fab* without taking away from your natural look. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord is a fan with a capital F: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 9. A facial steamer for anyone who adores soaking up the steam from their too-hot showers (especially in winter) but is leaving you all pruney. This lil' machine will let you reap those same benefits but from your bed (ooooh). It creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates skin to soften, hydrate, open up pores, *and* help relieve sinus congestion. Note that this comes with a five-piece stainless steel tool kit as well, but please be careful when performing extractions on yourself, as these can injure your skin if not used properly. Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I purchased it when I was congested because I wanted to use steam to break up congestion. This steamer felt amazing. It definitely helped with my congestion, and it opened up my pores, too. I used the skin tool kit and that worked great as well. I love that this comes with so many settings, including a humidifier and towel warmer as well. This was an absolute game changer for me, and I highly recommend it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in three colors). 10. A "Soft" perfume rollerball you've likely seen come up 9,000 times on your TikTok FYP. (Or is that just me?) Reviewers are in love with how incredible it smells and how magically it seems to layer with other scents — oh, and the fact it's only FIVE DOLLARS. Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!). Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $5.78 (available in two styles). 11.

Before this product, I would take all my supplement bottles with me in my purse, which took up an unnecessary amount of room. Now, with this product, I can travel easily with all my daily supplements. Takes up minimal space in my purse and actually encourages me to take my daily supplements. Not to mention that I love the color and style. Can fit up to nine of my largest capsules." — Kaci Allen Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in seven styles). 12. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan. I use this spray nightly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! Promising review:"This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have backups and never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." — Carlos G Get it from Amazon for $8.49 for a pack of two. 13.

These bowls are microwave-, freezer-, dishwasher-, and oven safe! Promising review:"I legit think salads taste better out of this dish. I can't explain it but it's amazing and I'm now eating more salads. Maybe because a bowl holds dressing better than a plate and I'm not worried about running the greens off the side of a plate but can scoop them up with ease with the edges of this dish? Questions that don't really need answering I suppose but illustrates how great this dish is. Buy the set, you won't regret it." — ANH Get a set of two from Amazon for $26.99+ (also available in a set of four and in four styles). 14.

Promising review:"I use this literally every day. It works so well; my hair feels great and grows pretty well. For reference, I have curly hair, which is very fine. if I use too much, my hair looks and feels greasy, but it also does that with most products. I just use a few sprays on my scalp, and it's perfect." — Lexi Get it from Amazon for $7.67. 20.

It's easy to apply and gives my hair a neat, polished look. Plus, it's nourishing, so it doesn't dry out my hair. Perfect for creating sleek styles, like buns or ponytails. Definitely a staple in my hair care routine!" — Julia Get it from Amazon for $7.59. 24. A Boon folding toddler tower you can stow away when your tyke isn't begging you to use it. (So, never?) It's sturdy, has grippy nonslip feet, an adjustable height, and is exactly what your dying-to-always-be-hands-on kid needs to partake in nightly cooking or daily crafting. My son is a little over 2.5 and extremely interested in being involved and independent, which is a bit exasperating. We didn't have the right tools to let him help safely in the kitchen until this toddler tower was introduced to our lives. It's not bulky, which is great because we have enough kid stuff all over our home, and I love that at the end of the day, I can fold it up and put it aside. It's very sturdy, but I had my son practice climbing up and down on his own in a carpeted area for good measure (he did so like a pro). It can easily be wiped clean (love) and holds up to 50 lbs, so it'll be useful for quite some time! Promising review:"The standing pad is large and slip-proof, providing a sturdy and safe place for toddlers to stand. The bar is great to keep toddlers secure and contained on the stand. The bar folds down, and the tower stores it conveniently. The white color is chic. The materials are high quality. I looked months for a toddler tower and I am extremely satisfied I purchased this one because of the quality, safety, and convenience to store." — Paige M. Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in white or grey). 25. A SinkShroom strainer you won't know how you lived without because it'll keep your kitchen sink unclogged no matter how much gunk you fill it with. I bought this for myself, and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually, when my husband makes sauce from scratch, I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom (which comes from a small business!). My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer. Promising review:"I've been a fan of the SinkShroom and TubShroom, and this is the best product from the line so far. My kitchen sinks simply do not clog anymore, so there's no more reaching into a bunch of water to unclog anything with my hand." — Brady Amerson Get it from Amazon for $9.98. 26.

Can't beat the price either." — Nana M. Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors/styles). 27. An outlet light for anyone who has accidentally walked into a wall one (or two) times too many when getting up in the middle for a glass of water — this lil' gadget will subtly light your way without the need for a bulkier option. Amazon Promising review:"I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." — LMK Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in four colors and three sizes). 28. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — toss your old concealer aside!

This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. I've personally tested this out and it has become an essential part of my daily routine. As a mom of two I gotta just say I am TIRED. So tired that I'm not sure what my face even looks like without bags under my eyes — that is, unless I've got the Catrice "Instant Awake" on. A little really goes a long way and has great coverage. I wore it throughout my sister's wedding weekend in Aruba and, despite the heat, it stayed perfectly in place. An incredible product for an even more incredible price... 10/10 from me. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 29. A mason jar cold brew maker in case you'd like your coffee maker to fit in with your home's carefully curated aesthetic. Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers! County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories. Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. Has saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" — Jo Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and colors). 30. And a cult-favorite Anthropologie Icon Juice Glass that'll make every morning cup of iced coffee feel like an Instagram-worthy moment. I am such a sucker for these glasses. My husband is getting increasingly annoyed at how little space there is in our kitchen cabinet because I cannot stop acquiring these cups. They have a nice weight to them, wash really well (I typically just run hot water through them for a bit then dry them with a towel since they are not dishwasher safe), and make my morning coffee feel a bit fancier. Love, love, love them. Promising review:"I love these glasses. Heavy quality glass. They are great for cocktails, juice, or a Diet Coke." — Kpeppers Get it from Anthropologie for $16 (available in 24 styles). 31. Or an aesthetic bear–covered mug in case you actually drink your coffee hot — it'll be the cutest one in your cabinet, is microwave safe, and likely to become as cherished as the plush teddy you don't admit to still snuggling with every night.

Promising reviews:"The ChomChom Roller really works. I have two German shepherds who shed SO much, so this was necessary. The ChomChom Roller picked up SO much fur the vacuum couldn't." — Ezra Gordon "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." — Meowser Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in black and in a mini size). 33. Basic white sneakers for anyone who is forever searching for the perfect footwear to pair with their casual outfits — these will complete your closet without the hefty price tag of other simple but elevated sneaks'.

Also, the arch support in these babies is amazing!" — Melissa Get them from Amazon for $28.99 (available in women's sizes 6–11 and four styles). 34. A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process. Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" — Linda Holloway Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in seven styles). 35. And a triangular book page holder — an absolutely genius idea for readers who simply *need* somewhere handy to place their book when they start to fall asleep mid-reading. It perfectly fits on nightstands and is designed to *~aesthetically~* hold your spot — it also has a place to put your glasses and a phone. How much better does this evening sound than shouting across the table in a crowded restaurant? Sign me up. Amazon Besuerte Store is a small business. The larger size has a spot for a cup as well! Promising review:"I took a chance on this one despite it having very few reviews. It took a little bit to arrive but the product was well worth the wait. I love that it is a beautiful solid wood piece and was packaged in a way that didn't require assembly and would not be damaged upon delivery. Overall, I'd say it exceeded my expectations and is priced well." — R. Young Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three styles). 36.

The gel ink refills are my favorite!" — Gomez-Orlioglu Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of three and five). 37. A bow-shaped resin night-light to add some coquette girly-girl vibes to your middle-of-the-night bathroom visits. It'll also look oh-so-cute during the day when it's not lit!

A 100% leakproof 30-ounce stainless-steel BrüMate Era tumbler because there are few things as exciting these days as a shiny new emotional support cup.

I'm home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc close by even with dogs running around. It's a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" — Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in nine colors). 40. And stylish Beats Studio Pro headphones that'll be worth the splurge, I promise. They have built-in spatial audio (it creates a surround sound–like experience), over 40 hours of battery, noise-canceling and transparency modes, and are ridiculously easy to pair via Bluetooth. Heather Braga / BuzzFeed I got the Beats Solo 4 headphones for Christmas and was so excited that 1. they were pink and 2. to really try out my first pair of over-the-ear headphones. The sound quality was fabulous compared to the earbuds I've always used, but I was a little displeased with how the ear cups felt over my ears. I felt like I couldn't wear them for long periods of time or that I needed to take my earrings off to feel more comfortable. Then I was offered the chance to test out the Beats Studio Pro headphones (the ones Kim Kardashian helped design) and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to compare the two styles. Right off the bat I prefer the Studio Pros, solely because the ear cups are a bit larger and cushier — they are so comfy I can easily wear them for hours and nearly forget they're on my head. They charge quickly and *stay* charged for what feels like forever. It took me two seconds to connect them to both my computer and my phone *and* it's extremely easy to swap between the two. I'm an immediate fan and, honestly, can't see myself using another set of headphones possibly ever. Get them from Amazon for $349. Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity
