27 Kitchen Products To Make Cooking As Fast As Possible

A veggie chopper because, I'm sorry, who has the time to chop vegetables into approximately 1,000 teeny tiny pieces? This tool turns minutes of boring dinner prep into seconds. Plus, this chopper doesn't just make quick work of dicing and chopping peppers, onions, tomatoes, or any other fruit or veg — it also protects your fingers from meal-ruining cuts. An electric potato peeler that can peel any fruit or veggie with a tough outer skin in 10 seconds flat! It gets a whole lot easier to eat a lot of vegetables when prepping them is as easy as opening a bag of chips. (Honestly, sometimes that takes more than 10 seconds... what are they using to seal those bags, titanium??) A meat and potato masher because you want mashed potatoes, but you don't want to spend several awkward, annoying minutes trying to mash them with a traditional fork. This tool has five beveled blades that you can push directly into your potatoes or meat, effortlessly smashing them up. I mean, what's the point in making a comfort food if you have to basically endure a whole cardio session to get there? A microwave mini steamer so you no longer have to mess around with bringing a giant pot of water to a boil, just to get a side dish going. Just put some water in the bottom, pop your veggies in the green strainer, let it do its thing in the microwave for a few minutes, and bam! You are now the proud owner of some perfectly steamed broccoli. A pepper corer, because I cannot be the only person who has been cooking my entire adult life, and yet every time I need to slice up a pepper and get all those sticky little seeds out, I feel like a newborn baby, baffled by the culinary actions required of me. Replace several minutes of annoying cutting and scooping with just a quick scoop from this tool. It can handle bell or chili peppers — and even apples, too! Promising review: "This is one of those products that you didn't know you needed until you get one. We eat a lot of peppers in our house, and it makes cleaning them out a snap. It is inexpensive, so it can sit in the drawer until needed. But this is the right tool for the job." —Pondo69Get it from Amazon for $6.98. A "Gracula" garlic crusher that quickly and easily accomplishes two key dinnertime goals: 1. it produces finely crushed garlic super fast, with almost no effort from you, and 2. it gives you a lil' giggle. You've had a long day — let Vlad here be your sous chef and the entertainment. Plus, reviewers say it works for crushing nuts, too! A Beautiful by Drew Barrymore dual-compartment air fryer, because trying to figure out how to use a traditional air-fryer to cook two foods at once is frustrating, and waiting for one part of your meal to cook before you can start the other is beyond irritating. This innovative fryer allows you to cook two different foods, at two different temperatures, at the exact same time. Plus, if needed, you can remove the divider to give yourself a single compartment with nine quarts (!!) of cooking reviews: "Absolutely fantastic air fryer — makes my counter look gorgeous too! Love the colors, the design, and the extra room, it makes it so easy to cook for my entire family! Dual zones so you can cook two different things at once, a broil setting, a baking setting, a reheating setting, and even a dehydrating setting!! Best appliance I've ever bought!" —Stacey"Absolutely LOVE our new Beautiful Air Fryer! Not only is it gorgeous, but it is also convenient, easy to use, and easy to clean. I love the dual temperature features. We got the 9qt. The size is so impressive! But it looks so lovely on our countertop. I run an in-home daycare, and this makes prepping, cooking, and cleaning for several kiddos quick and easy! Best purchase I've made in a long time! Far surpasses our previous 6-qt Ninja Air Fryer! Nothing compares to this appliance!" —NicoleGet it from Walmart for $139 (available in six colors). An Instant Pot that can save you tons of time around dinner, because it starts cooking your meal at 10 a.m. Just pick out your favorite Instant Pot recipe from the approximately 10 billion that you can find online, pop in the ingredients, set the timer, and come back to a literal whole entire meal. And this thing doesn't just make stews — you can cook a whole chicken (!!) in here! Promising reviews: "This product is my best friend and I would marry it and grow old with it if I could. I've put pork loins, potatoes, yellow bundt cakes, rice, and corn on the cob (look up INSTANT POT MILK CORN ON COB and you will never eat it any other way again!). I've made pierogies, lasagna, apple dump cake, a whole chicken, bone broth, chicken noodle soup... and more. This is all in less than a month. I'm eating healthier. Eating out less. Cleanup is easy. The food tastes awesome. The pork loin never dried out after it sat on the serving tray." —sugabuga"I purchased the Instant Pot Duo Plus, and it has been one of the best decisions for my kitchen. It's easy to use, fast, and versatile. I love that it has different functions like a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and more. The food comes out delicious and perfectly cooked in less time. Plus, the app with over 800 recipes is a great bonus. Highly recommended for anyone looking to save time in the kitchen without sacrificing flavor!" —Jonathan SalazarGet it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two sizes). A hands-free pot stirrer because sometimes, dreams really do come true (soup-based dreams, anyway). All you have to do is clamp it to the side of your pot, set the speed, and let it get to work while you do something more interesting than stirring, which could be... literally anything. An herb stripper, so you can stop living the dinner prep nightmare of stripping a serving of kale or other greens by hand. Is any kitchen activity more boring and time-consuming than stripping it leaf by leaf by leaf? I get chills just thinking about it. With this, make quick work of the prep so you can get to the good part (cooking your kale in various sauces until it no longer tastes like kale). A microwave bacon cooker because cooking bacon on the stove is A WHOLE THING — you have to keep your eye on when to flip the pieces, is anything burning, oh my god the grease is really crackling, etc. Truly, who has that kind of energy in the morning? With this tool, just set your microwave for 30–60 seconds per strip, and get ready for perfectly crisp bacon, in record time, with almost zero effort on your part (ideal). Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this. Makes breakfast so easy. Bacon always crisp, and after I take the bacon out, I crack an egg or two in the tray. The eggs are delicious and don't taste greasy. Use it almost every morning." —REGINA PELLMAN"When I ordered this item, I thought it might be kitschy, but it wasn't. It was designed and built very well. This has become my go-to bacon maker because it sets up quickly, cooks bacon fast (3 slices = 3 mins). All the bacon dripping hits the catch base, which is easily wiped clean with a paper towel before washing. Worth every penny!" —InStLouisGet it from Amazon for $16.49. A microwave potato cooker that I am convinced is a literal time machine? Everyone knows that a baked potato is the perfect food... except for the fact that it takes literal years to cook one in the oven (okay, fine, it takes an hour... but an hour feels like years when you're hungry and in dire need of carbs and sour cream!). But with this handy-dandy sleeve, you can have a baked potato in 2–4 minutes, aka the exact correct time frame. Plus, it can bake up to four potatoes at once and make corn on the cob! A set of toss-and-chop salad tongs, aka "salad scissors," so you can make restaurant-quality salads at home with minimal effort and time, instead of putting in tons of effort and time and just ending up with a weird, sad pile of spinach and croutons. These scissors will chop any veg or protein you throw into them while also mixing up the ingredients better than you would with big, clunky salad tongs. And you can chop right in the bowl — so that's one less cutting board to deal with. (And truly, is there anything worse than washing a cutting board?) A rapid defrosting tray because, whoops, you were supposed to take the chicken out of the freezer three hours ago, but got distracted by something shiny. Don't fear! This tray uses natural aluminum to defrost your frozen goods way faster than just leaving them out on the counter. I don't understand how it works! I just know that it speeds up your dinner prep timeline, which is always exciting and delicious. (Excit-a-licious?) A silicone snap-on pasta strainer so you no longer have to waste time finding your strainer, setting it up in your sink, pouring the pasta into it, pouring the drained pasta back into the pot, picking up the ten stray noodles that fell into the sink... with this, just snap it on, pour our the water, and apply pasta directly to your hungry lil' face. A Dash rapid egg cooker because, first off, it's got rapid right there in the name! Bid adieu to the days of waiting for a whole pot of water to boil, then dropping all your eggs in to hard or soft boil, being unsure if you cooked them right, then cracking them open and knowing you didn't cook them right. This handy kitchen buddy can hard boil, soft boil, or poach up to six eggs in mere minutes with just a tiny bit of water — and it can also make scrambled eggs or even omelets! A Ninja professional blender that isn't just for smoothies (though I mean, it's amazing at making smoothies, the ultimate super-fast "I need it nowwwww" food). It can also help you make super-quick soups, sauces, salsa... It's basically an express pass to Yummy Dips City (that's where I have to have my vacation home). Promising review: "There are some products that just change your life. The blender is mostly plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap. It is very secure. It locks onto the base with a satisfying click. The lid locks down with a similar click. Unless you have heard both clicks, the blender won't start. And good thing. The blades are very sharp. They are angled to create a vortex that instantly turns any fruits and vegetables inside into viscous liquid. I like that the spout has a lid that locks open so you can pour easily. The blades come out so that they can be cleaned easily, along with the inside of the decanter. This blender has high, medium, and low settings. You can pulse. It is loud, which I take to be a feature and not a drawback. Neither my kids nor I particularly like fruits and vegetables, and as a result, we don't get nearly enough. And yet I can put in 10 bananas, two cartons of strawberries, two of blueberries, a bag of spinach (yes, spinach!), a cup of plain Greek yogurt, one interrupted conversation... and: ambrosia! The decanter is huge, and yet between the three of us, we can and do empty it in one meal. Yay!" —The Wheels Go RoundGet it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two styles and two wattages). A Cuisinart Fast Freeze Frozen Dessert Maker, because making your own ice cream at home is a joy — except for how long traditional ice cream makers take to churn your ice cream. And then waiting for it to settle and re-freeze afterwards! Pure snack-based agony. With this delicious treatmaker, all you have to do is freeze your base overnight, hit the blend button, and prepare to faceplant into your own DIY pint of chocolate chocolate chip. Get it from Williams Sonoma for $119.95. A breakfast sandwich maker that isn't just faster than cooking every item individually (and eventually losing track of some ingredient, only to remember it when it starts burning) — it's also faster than just going out to the deli and having someone else make a sandwich for you. This miracle machine cooks every element of a breakfast sandwich in a single place, all at once — so all you have to do is add ingredients, and wait for the perfect start to your morning to be very quickly ready for your plate. A microwave pasta maker, because they say a watched pot never boils — and you know that's true based on the countless minutes you have spent staring down the big ol' pot of water on your stove, begging it to hurry up so that you can finally eat your pasta. Just put your pasta in the container, add water, pop it into the microwave, and when it's done, use the container to strain it. No mess, no extra cookware — just you, chowing down on spaghetti in less than 10 minutes, like the universe intended. A Chopula cooking tool that is :::infomercial voice::: two, two, two kitchen tools in one! But seriously, this will save you tons of time because you will no longer have to switch between a ton of different kitchen implements. The Chopula is a flexible spatula to loosen whatever food has decided that the surface of your pan is its new home; it's also a chopping tool that can even cut meat! Reviewers say it is great at flipping eggs, omelets, and pancakes without breaking them, which is its own timesaver — I know I have lost a lot of time in the kitchen playing yet another round of Can This Omelet Be Saved? A 5-in-1 jar opener because tight jar lids are one of the all-time worst kitchen time-stealers. Not only because you can spend minutes wrestling with these guys, running them under hot water (or is it cold?) and asking your roommate to come help you — but because sometimes, the great Jar Opening Battle culminates with the jar opening... directly onto your shirt. Save yourself the time and the extra load of laundry with this simple, quick jar opener. Promising review: "I am an older woman who has difficulty opening lids and caps with my hands. In fact, I injured my right hand one time just trying to open a cap. My sister in law told me she had this opener that does the trick. I bought this and I love it. It can be used on any size lid or cap, and with just a quick turn, the caps open. I love it. My right hand loves it." —Sunset SueGet it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 15 colors) An 8-quart stainless-steel gas cooktop rapid-boil pot that actually boils water 40% faster than standard pots! Thank the unique aluminum base, which is covered in mini-fins that help gather and channel heat. Or, if you're not a science lover, just feel overjoyed that your corn on the cob will be ready that much faster. Plus, it comes with a built-in strainer, so you won't have to waste any time getting yours out from the bottom of the cupboard. Promising review: 'Exceeded expectations. Brings a full pot of water in nearly half the time as a conventional pot." —JohnGet it from Williams Sonoma for $219.95. A bagel guillotine because sawing a bagel in half with a traditional knife wastes precious minutes when you could be enjoying that cream-cheese-filled goodness (plus, you know you always cut them unevenly). With the guillotine, you can get a perfect and near-instant slice every time. A rice cooker, because cooking rice in a traditional pot takes time, attention, and an ability to cope when you inevitably burn half the portion. Instead, this rice cooker whips up a bowl of fluffy rice in just a few minutes and has a "warmer" feature to keep it hot and tasty until you're ready to chow down. A microwave sandwich maker that can help you whip up a crispy grilled cheese (or other grilled sammy!) in mere minutes, with way less butter and effort than the traditional version made in a pan. Promising review: "If you like grilled cheese sandwiches and you like them quick, then this is for you. I like things that work every time, too. Heat this unit for 1 minute and then place a slice of bread, three slices of cheese, and then the other slice of bread onto the bottom plate. Lock in the top plate and cook for 3 minutes. Done and perfect!! It never fails. How easy is that? You can make more sophisticated grilled sandwiches, too, like adding ham and spinach. Use your imagination. It's fun. And the unit is super easy to clean up. This is an awesome cooker for quick." —GeorgeGet it from Amazon for $29.99. A cherry tomato slicer because I know I can't be the only person who is reluctant to make salads — the perfect cool summer meal! — at home because when I try to slice up cherry tomatoes, it becomes a literal and figurative mess. Tomatoes are slipping across the table! Half the tomato was smeared on the cutting board! This tool holds your cherry tomatoes in place, allowing you to halve up to six with a single knife-swipe, saving you time not just slicing, but in cleaning up tomato goo that's squirted all over the place. Get it from Williams Sonoma for $17.95.

A winged eyeliner stamp so you don't have to waste time during your makeup routine trying to nail the perfect cat eye. Just stamp it on and go, go, gooooo!

Budget-Friendly Prime Day Finds Better Than A $7 Coffee

Amazon Prime Day is here! There are more deals than you could ever begin to look through on your that's where we come in. The TikTok-viral Tirtir cushion foundation — for 60% off, a new lowest-ever price! — that offers 72 hours of flawless wear, blending seamlessly to hide redness, blemishes, and under-eye bags. It has buildable coverage, perfect for a natural look or full glam. Plus, it's packed with hibiscus and red propolis extracts for a boost in skin elasticity. And to top it all off, its oval-shaped puff can reach every little corner of your face. Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product, and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer, so if you're older, that's something to keep in mind. Overall, beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go-to foundation from now on." —AJ BondPrice: $10 (originally $25; available in 40 shades and a mini size) A "Gracula" garlic crusher for 57% off, because you know what? If a 108-year-old vampire lurking moodily in the trees in the Pacific Northwest isn't going to fall in love with you and grant you immortality, one might as well make your life in the kitchen a little easier. Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" —BarbiePrice: $9.95 (typically $18.99) Mixsoon Bean Essence for 55% off (the lowest price it's ever been!!) — this TikTok-beloved K-beauty staple for exfoliating and hydrating is a secret weapon that anyone chasing the ~glass skin~ look will want to know about immediately. You can use this as a low-maintenance, high results exfoliant by massaging it into your skin two to three times a week for a smoother, brighter, more even complexion. Promising reviews: "I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores; it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and were left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see if it worked this well on everyone on the first try, and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" —Losa"I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." —MissKayMaePrice: $11.20+ (typically $25+; available in two sizes) Mint-flavored Venus Visage teeth-whitening pens for 51% off (two for less than the price of one!) that are way more convenient than a painful trip to the dentist or an annoying attempt at the strips. Just brush your teeth with the bristled pen whenever you have a minute to work through stains and discoloration (without sensitivity, according to reviewers). Promising review: "This product actually works! Very affordable, too. There are a lot of expensive teeth whitening products out there, but why spend extra money when you don't have to? Definitely worth trying!" —Mona L CuretonPrice: $9.33 for two (originally $18.95) Colorgram fruity glass tint for up to 50% off to give you the glossy pout of a mermaid. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how cute the packaging is?! Promising review: "I love K beauty products, but a lot of lip tints don't always work on brown/darker skin with two-toned lips. This gives me the perfect pop of color and is soooo juicy! I went back and bought more as soon as I received them. This was my first time trying Colorgram, but it's definitely up there with my faves from Peripera!" —Kendra $7.49+ (originally $14.99; available in 10 shades) A Through The Seasons version of the beloved Reverse Coloring Book for 45% off if you're looking for a unique way to unwind. It starts with watercolor-like blobs — it's up to you to add the lines! This is great for anyone who loves to find shapes in the clouds. Each book includes 50 pages of watercolor art and includes prompts if you'd like a little bit of direction. Promising review: "I love the variation in the designs provided. The style of a reverse coloring book is great for traveling with when you don't want to have to have 100 different markers or pencils to keep track of. Being able to work in one color pen for a while is nice on road trips, and I like being able to be more creative with my own designs on top of the colored pages." —Katherine DexheimerPrice: $8.29 (typically $14.95) A set of satin pillowcases for up to 35% off that not only have a cooling effect, but are soft on your skin and create less friction for your hair so it won't get as tangled while you sleep. Reviewers especially love these because they're an affordable alternative to ones that typically run $18 per case! Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about them: ""I own multiple sets of these and even pack them when I travel because I never want to sleep on a cotton pillowcase again after getting used to these beauts." Promising review: "My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." —Aaron Key"These are really nice — perfect price point too. There's no difference between these and the same pillowcases from Kitsch at three times the price." —KeriPrice: $7.59 for two (typically $11.69; available in 22 colors and four sizes) A four-pack of VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot overnight hydrogel masks for 38% off — they're made with bakuchiol (a plant-derived retinol), this luxurious mask is designed to help improve skin elasticity while minimizing any irritation. You apply the included Reedle Shot serum as step one, then layer on this dreamy hydrogel mask, which is designed to help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and deeply hydrate to leave your skin feeling plump and rejuvenated. You're probably wondering, "But Amber, what even is Reedle Shot serum??" Reedle Shot acts as a booster serum containing tiny micro-needles designed to enhance the absorption of other skincare products by creating microscopic channels in the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of active ingredients. Essentially, it helps your other serums and creams work more review: "I've bought this pack a few times already and they are the best hydrogel masks I have used. I have tried several of their products and nothing ever disappoints. They stay in place and don't slide all over the place. VT Cosmetics is a tried-and-true for sure!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $9 (originally $14.40; available in five other styles) — and shop all VT Cosmetics deals here An adorable little puppy night-light for 38% off with a soft white glow that makes it the perfect critter for gently illuminating bedrooms and bathrooms at night. It even has eight different color modes so you can finally live your childhood dream of having a purple dog! Promising review: "So cute and they work great! The light is the perfect brightness to see, but not too bright that it's annoying in the middle of the night. Changing the colors is easy, and I like how it goes off when there's enough light in the room." —JasPrice: $9.98 (typically $15.99) A moisturizing Dove body scrub for up to 38% off (the best discount ever) offering a thick, dessert-like experience that'll help your skin feel fresh, bouncy, and soft. Oh, and DELICIOUS SMELLING! Promising review: "I absolutely love this Dove body scrub! The texture is rich and creamy with just the right amount of exfoliating grit. It gently buffs away dead skin without feeling too harsh. The Himalayan salt combined with rose oil leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft, smooth, and lightly scented like a mini spa session in the shower! It doesn't dry out the skin like some scrubs do. I even noticed that my skin feels more hydrated and looks more radiant after just a few uses. A little goes a long way, and the scent is divine, subtle, and floral. If you're looking for a gentle but effective scrub for your self-care routine, this one's a gem." —AnaPrice: $4.97+ (originally $7.97; available in eight scents) A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel for 37% off so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions. Check out a TikTok of the magic mushroom funnel in action. Promising review: "I am obsessed with this funnel!!! I juice a lot of citrus and juices for cocktails, and this little guy is the perfect size for bottling. It's beyond cute and really great quality. I'm always hesitant about buying silicone items, as I don't want them to be too thin. This is perfect! Sturdy and cute! Can't get better than that! The perfect addition to any cottagecore kitchen!" —Abbey KlemPrice: $9.95+ (typically $14.95; available in two sizes) A lightweight beach tote for up to 36% off, so you can bring everything you need to the beach and not bring anything you don't want back. Thanks to the mesh design, belongings can dry faster, and sand just falls out as you walk! Promising review: "I had to snag this bag since it was on sale. It's so spacious, and I love how there's a zippered pocket for your keys and phone. The pocket is covered, so you can't see inside it from either side." —CamiPrice: $8.99+ (originally $13.99+; available in two styles and four colors) Medicube's collagen jelly for 35% off that happy Amazon reviewers say helped them achieve their "glass skin" dreams. The formula is designed to absorb quickly, and the niacinamide helps protect your skin barrier and keep it hydrated. Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this product. I have dry skin, and this helps plump everything. I use it as the last step in my daytime routine, and it feels like it locks all my serums and toners in. At night, I put a thicker moisturizer on top, and it helps hydrate my skin while I sleep. The texture is so unusual, and I love using the spatula to frost my face with it. I also love the fragrance, and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin." —Kindle CustomerPrice: $9.72+ (regularly $14.90+; available in two sizes) A drapey off-the-shoulder top for up to 33% off to take a satin skirt, jorts, or linen trousers immediately to the next level — but the stretchy material has all the comfort of your favorite tank. It reminds me of a certain similar top I've seen at Aritzia... Promising review: "When I tell you I LOVEEED this top!! I'm getting it in every color :) It's true to size and has a layered fabric inside for extra coverage, so it's not see-through. I got [the color] apricot, and the material is great quality. I was worried it would be thin" —mirandaPrice: $11.99+ (originally $17.99+; available in women's sizes XS–XL and 19 colors) — and shop all the fashion deals here A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts for up to 33% off so comfy and adorable that you are about to put your denim shorts on notice for the rest of the year — especially since these are a MUCH cheaper alternative to the $98 Reformation version. Promising review: "So comfy and they look just like the photo! The quality is great, they aren't see through, and I love the bright color! They fit true to size. They are definitely a great value for the money." —HopePrice: $9.99 (typically $14.99; available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 22 styles) A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser for 31% off to remind you that life is, in fact, too short to skip on your delicious morning cuppa. Promising review: "My best friend loved this for her birthday. She loves Halloween and tea, and this was such a cute and perfect gift." —Harley NixonPrice: $8.99 (originally $12.99) A hydrating eye stick for 30% off, aka the perfect remedy for dehydrated skin. This treatment is made with Icelandic glacier water, giving your delicate under-eye skin the fresh hydration boost it needs on days when you've hit the snooze button one too many times. It also helps tighten eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after review: "This stuff is magic! I purchased this product on a recommendation from a BuzzFeed list, and was not disappointed! I have not been sleeping well due to stress, and the first day I used it, my coworkers commented how well rested I looked! I told them about it and all of them ordered one for themselves. Very impressed!" —Saminyah MarcelinPrice: $6.99 (originally $9.99) A Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint for up to 30% off — reviewers compare this to Charlotte Tilbury's $35 Pillow Talk and Nars' $22 Velvet Lip Glide, and love this this version 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. Promising review: "I know you have seen this on TikTok and wondering if they are worth the hype. They are so just order them. I have so many colors from this brand, they are so easy to apply. Get them." —MillyPrice: $6.90 (originally $9.90; available in a variety of shades) Essence's Lash Princess mascara for 30% off, because TBH, we've all wasted too many years and too much money looking for the ~holy grail~ mascara. This one is cheap, gives you instant length, and is DELIGHTFULLY sweatproof — reviewers call it out as an excellent comparison for Too Faced's "Better Than Sex" and Benefit's "They're Real." Here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say about it: Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each review: "AWESOME. I've always bought overpriced mascara. I'm very picky and hesitant, but I saw some reviews saying how awesome this was. I'll never go back to 'Better Than Sex' mascara because that's what I always use, and I compare it to that. This is the best mascara!! I'll never go back." —patrick haukPrice: $10.48 for three (originally $14.97) An SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar for 30% off, a K-beauty staple with a curved balm stick style that makes it super easy to apply, and a non-sticky, white cast-free formula that plays ABSURDLY well with makeup.

Check out a TikTok of the Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar in that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising review: "NO WHITE CAST! I've been looking for a stick sunscreen and this was just exactly what was needed!! I'm a medium-toned Black woman and looking for something without a white cast is always a challenge. I have applied it on my bare skin and there isn't a white cast at all! It's a 'soft matte' finish, for sure, and looks like natural skin. Like you're not wearing anything at all." —Martina"One of the best facial sunscreens I've ever used. The design is amazing and contours your face perfectly. It works well on its own or layered under makeup. No issues with clogging my pores or breakouts. I wore it on a trip to Mexico, and it did its job flawlessly. I will repurchase again and again." —TlongPrice: $11.99 (typically $17.02; also available in two-packs) A set of delightfully ~~tingly~~ self-heating soothing foot masks for 30% off made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint perfect for anyone whose recent step count is "too many." Nothing like a lil' self-care on those aching feet to lift your spirits! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days! Promising review: "Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" —KS2018Price: $9.99 for a set of three pairs (typically $12.99) A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Glow Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for 30% off (the first time it's been on sale ever btw!) for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. Touchland is a small business that specializes in hand sanitizers. Check out a TikTok of Touchland in action. Promising review: "Touchland's hand sanitizers are absolutely beautiful! Not only is the packaging functional for travel, but it's pretty! Absolutely no issues with the product or the design of the packaging leaking, and it's extremely easy to use! No sticky residue, and your hands feel completely hydrated and soft after each use. I'm especially impressed with this perk, considering most hand sanitizers leave your skin feel tight and dry. No leaks, great hydration, phenomenal fragrance…. what's not to LOVE!!!? 🤍 SPOIL YOURSELF, NO EXCUSES NECESSARY!" —Briana R. "I love the light fragrance of this sanitizer and how it doesn't dry my skin. Definitely will buy again." —Lindsey OgdenPrice: $11.20 (typically $16; available in Lily of the Valley and Rose scents; check out Touchland's Amazon storefront for more options) A set of cowboy straw toppers for 29% off to add some much-needed "yeehaw!" into your hydration regimen.

I wear these in the shower, the pool, and even the ocean and have seen zero tarnishing. I definitely recommend these!!" —RyleighPrice: $10.49+ (originally $13.99+; available in 10 styles) A ~weightless~ liquid cream blush for 25% off with some real Rare Beauty blush energy that's having a whole moment and a half on Amazon right now. Reviewers adore how high-pigmented and blendable the colors are and how soft and dewy the effect is on their skin. Promising review: "Creamy and blendable. These are great blushes and have lots of pigmentation. Very creamy and a smooth application on the skin! It is a great [alternative] to the Rare Beauty blush.

I will be getting one in every color now." —JuliannePrice: $7.99+ (typically $9.99; available in women's sizes XXS–3X and in 32 colors) Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener for 20% off, which became 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.

The color adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. Check out a TikTok of the brightener in action. 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. Price: $4.80 (originally $6; available in four shades) A paper incense tin for 20% off to add a little pocket-sized luxury to your life. Inside the wrapped tin is a decorative paper envelope filled with 48 teeny tiny incense papers. To use, clip one piece of paper to the tin and wait as it burns (for about five minutes).

These stick to the skin easily and suck all the yuck out of your skin literally within hours. All you have to do is remove a patch (I usually use them at night whenever I get an occasional pimple) and enjoy your beautiful, clean skin. They're perfect for sensitive skin too, don't over-dry it and don't cause any irritation. I'm a forever fan!

Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocustPrice: $10 (originally $12.50) — and shop all Tonymoly deals here Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops for 20% off — a real sweet deal since reviewers consider this the more affordable version of the beloved $39 Drunk Elephant version.

Promising review: "I love this so I ordered a second for backup! Depending on my day I will add no more than one or two drops to my moisturizer or my primer. Takes away the winter pallor of my face which definitely has not had enough sun lately. The bottle is small, but you don't need to use much. Reasonably priced for the amount. I would say buy it." —IncognitoPrice: $4.79 (typically $5.99) Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets for 20% off so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. Note: According to the Mayo Clinic, up to 400mg of caffeine is safe for most healthy adults. Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.) Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you're someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I'm quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y'all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I'm happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancyPrice: $8.79 for a ten-pack (originally $10.99)
