25 Target Items So Good, You'll Use Every Day
An overnight lip mask that'll soothe parched puckers with coconut oil and vitamin E while you snooze — and add a delightful little boost to your bedtime routine while you're at it, thanks to the fun flavors it comes in. Fairy Floss, anyone? Promising review: 'Good affordable overnight mask for extra hydration! I bought the Fairy Floss to try something new, and I actually really like it! The texture is smooth on the lips, definitely sits a little heavy, has a slight scent and flavor, and it's more matte than it is glossy. I guess it could be more glossy if you apply more, but a little goes a long way! You get what you pay for, and this is very pleasant on the lips and my wallet! Also has no color that I've noticed on the lips, so it won't transfer onto anything.' —Kaylee Price: $8.99 (available in three options) An insulated drink tumbler capable of keeping your beverages just the right temperature for hours. No one likes to drink tepid water — or room temperature coffee, or melted smoothies, or what have you — but with this colorful, double-walled pick from Simple Modern, you can make sure your faves stay icy or warm until the very last drop. Promising review: 'This tumbler is amazing! After 24 hours, I still had ice in my tumbler, and the water was ice cold. I love the pretty colors it comes in. Definitely worth getting. I love the fact that it's dishwasher safe. Put it in the dishwasher and it came out perfect.' —SuesuePrice: $22.94+ (originally $26.99+; available in nine colors) A pair of go-with-anything chunky white sneakers so comfortable, you might refuse to wear any other shoe after experiencing them. The secret? Memory foam in the soles. So comfy. So cute. Ugh, I cannot. Promising review: 'Love these shoes! People ask me all the time where I got them. They're a great casual shoe. I can wear them all day, and they are comfortable. They fit true to size.' —gmosely Price: $34.99 (available in medium women's sizes 6–11) Some high-quality over-ear headphones that are perfect for blocking out your noisy co-workers and blasting your current hyperfixation playlist at your desk (no one else will hear, after all!). You are an adult. Your time is valuable. You do not have the bandwidth to listen to your next-door cubicle neighbor Dolores talk to her best friend all day…on speakerphone. These wireless Bluetooth 'phones from Bose feature truly glorious noise-cancelling capabilities and astonishingly long battery life (up to 24 hours!) to make your time at the office — or commuting, or anywhere else, for that matter — not only not terrible, but actually pretty review: 'Amazing Bose headphones! These are incredible. I just received these today. I have been listening to familiar favorites and hearing notes and a depth I have never heard before. I was never a serious audiophile, but these Bose headphones are truly amazing! I was moved to tears by the beauty of some of these songs. I can hardly believe that I have been missing this depth of beauty my entire life, and I wish I had ordered these sooner. And the quiet mode works well. I would buy these again and again. The quality of this music via these headphones is a true gift in my life.' —GsquaredmomPrice: $229.99 (originally $349; available in six colors) Or, a portable Bluetooth speaker, so you can take your tunes with you on the go. Small yet mighty, this option from JBL boasts sound quality so high, it rivals that of much larger speakers, according to numerous reviewers. It's even waterproof! Promising review: 'I am not one to write many reviews, but I couldn't not! I have a larger JBL speaker that I've had for roughly 10 years. Needless to say, the battery is no longer where it should be. This little speaker sounds as good, if not better, than the original speaker. It's literally the size of my palm. I just wanted something I could take on a trip with us that would be easy to pack. So glad I did!! I've always been a fan of JBL and will continue to buy their products! P.S. I got the purple and it's so cute!' —HeatherPrice: $39.99 (originally $49.99; available in six colors) A gold-tone acrylic laptop riser to add some subtle glam to your office setup — and help save your neck from the wear-and-tear that can happen when you spend all day, every day in front of your computer. This shockingly pretty workspace upgrade both lifts your device to an ergonomically ideal level and vents your laptop to keep it from overheating, too. Everybody wins! Promising review: 'I've been using this every day since I bought it. I love the clear, basic design, and it's sturdy. Also helps with wrist fatigue when typing at an angle instead of flat on the desk.' —Fate Kelly Price: $36 And a wireless keyboard that's equal parts cute and practical. I mean, if your laptop itself is on a riser, you're going to need something to type on, right? May as well make it something that's as fun to use as it is, y'know, actually useful! Promising review: 'I'm really impressed with this wireless keyboard! The typing experience is incredibly smooth, with keys that respond effortlessly and provide just the right amount of feedback. It's perfect for long hours of typing without causing any strain on my fingers. The connection is reliable, and I've had no issues with lag or connectivity drops. I also love how sleek and compact it is, making it easy to fit into any workspace. The battery life is impressive, and the design is minimalist yet stylish. Whether I'm working or gaming, this keyboard has been a fantastic addition to my setup. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a smooth and efficient typing experience!' —Caroline Price: $17.99 (available in two colors) AND a wireless mouse that connects via Bluetooth — meaning you won't have to sacrifice yet another of your computer's few USB ports to a receiver for this thing to work. As a bonus, this Logitech pick comes in some super pretty colors, too, in addition to your classic sleek black option. Y'all, I've been using Logitech mice for years — decades, even — and they have never steered me wrong. They fit really nicely under the hand; the buttons press well and click satisfyingly; and the scroll wheel is just *chef's kiss*. My current one is in perfectly fine shape, but honestly, I'm considering swapping it out for this one — that beautiful blue color! Ugh! I love it! I don't need it, but I need it!Promising review: 'So far, so good! I ended up getting the lavender one and am totally happy with the connectivity and functionality of this cute little mouse. It connected easily enough (within seconds) and works great. Not to mention how it fits my small palm of my hands very easily. Would definitely buy again.' —ALY Price: $19.99 A bottle of E.l.f.'s highly effective Holy Hydration! Hydro-Gel Moisturizer, because if you aren't already moisturizing on the daily, now is a great time to start. This soothing gel formula is powered by hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides — but it's still lightweight, and particularly good if your skin tends towards the sensitive side of things. Promising review: ''Holy' is the correct word! I have extremely sensitive skin that immediately rejects any product it does not agree with. I was hesitant at first, but was on a budget and needed hydration ASAP. I came across this and wow! I do not regret it. My skin loved it and it helped with the weather change that caused my dry skin. I would totally recommend!!' —StinkyPicklesPrice: $12 And some of Cetaphil's SPF 50 facial sunscreen, so you can make sure you lock in the daily sunscreen habit sooner, rather than later. This pick ticks all the boxes: It's highly effective, it's good for sensitive skin, it's waterproof, it layers well under makeup, and — key point! — it's shockingly affordable. Promising review: 'Amazing sunscreen! Wow!! This mineral sunscreen is amazing!! I struggle with allergies, sensitivity, and am acne-prone. Some sunscreens in the past have given me rashes where I applied them. This sunscreen works well for me, protecting my face with a high SPF and no breakouts. Sometimes I wear it without any makeup and it blurs my imperfections really well, also works great under makeup. Also love that it is mineral and reef-safe.' —Makeupgal95Price: $12.59 A bottle of daily shower cleaner, because, well…it's in the name, isn't it? Here's the thing, though: Spritzing some of this lemon-and-mint–scented stuff on your shower or bath walls and floors when you're done washing up each day is the fast track to keeping things fresh in there between deeper cleans. Just spray it, then…walk away. Heck yes. Promising review: 'Makes a difference! Has a light, clean scent that doesn't overpower or linger. I use this daily, and feel like it does make a difference with less overall buildup. I've used in both my shower and a standalone tub' —twinmomPrice: $2.99 A two-step kitchen and household ladder, so you don't have to resort to climbing onto your countertops to be able to grab a can of tomato paste or whatever from the top shelves of your kitchen cabinets. Mundane? Perhaps. Useful? Incredibly. Pull this lightweight yet sturdy aluminum option out when you need it. Fold it up and tuck it away when you don't. Easy peasy. I am not joking when I say that not a day goes by without me pulling out my lil' kitchen ladder. I mean, sure, that's largely because I am five feet tall and cannot reach anything in my house without it, but I mean…I am five feet tall and cannot reach anything in my house without it. If you, too, are on the shorter end of things, trust me: You need one of these. You need one. This one has a weight capacity of 225 pounds, for the review: 'I moved, and this is the best thing I've bought to do things around the house. It's very light, so easy to carry. It's also very stable and so simple to close up and store nicely. Everyone loves it!' —Target customerPrice: $34.99 A truly excellent coffee maker from Oxo, because life is too short to drink bad coffee. This space-efficient little caffeine machine brews eight cups of the good stuff right into an insulated, stainless-steel carafe, so it'll stay hot 'til the end. And did I mention how magnificent a cup this thing brews? I have the larger version of this exact machine, and friends, believe you me when I say it is one of the best investments I have made in the at-home creature comforts arena. I do, in fact, use it every day. Makes a terrific cup of joe. Highly review: 'The greatest coffee machine I've ever owned! I had the larger OXO brewer for three years, and it was great. However, after reading a review of this new machine, I jumped in when it was recently on sale. With a smaller footprint and simple design, it was a perfect choice. Not only does it almost instantly brew coffee, it tastes perfect when following the measurement instructions suggested by OXO. My only problem now is trying not to drink too much.' —JGPrice: $199.99 A canister of Bar Keepers Friend, because seriously, this multipurpose powder cleanser is the unsung hero of kitchens everywhere (including mine). It might not look like much, but this stuff? You will use it every day. Trust me. My fave use for Bar Keepers Friend is cleaning my good cookware — it's A+ on stainless pots and pans, although you'll want to avoid using it on nonstick stuff (never clean your nonstick gear with an abrasive cleanser; it'll strip the coating clear off) — but folks find all sorts of uses for it, from cleaning sinks and stovetops to even getting weird rust stains out of their reviews: 'This is a must-have in my kitchen. Huge fan of using this on any bits of rust, grease, or hard-to-clean spots. Just make sure you avoid using it on non-stick pans, polished stone counters, or the other spots mentioned on the product's label. However, I've used this to completely revamp old stainless steel cookware, aluminum cookie pans, and stovetops — making them look good as new. You can't beat the price, either.' —Bethany 'This is fantastic! This product took out 2.5 years of hard water and dust grime (brought home from a job daily) stains in less than an hour! A little elbow grease and the tub is stain-free! I'm still in shock of how well this worked when other cleaners didn't.' —Target customerPrice: $2.29 A cherry red cast-iron Dutch oven from Lodge that proves your workhorse cookware can, in fact, also be gorgeous. When you've got something that's both this effective and this beautiful, you'll find every possible excuse to use it — which, tbh, isn't going to be difficult, given that feeding yourself is kind of a daily necessity. I have this 6-quart beauty in blue, and it is by far my most-used piece of cookware. Excellent for anything from soups and stews to casseroles and even bread, it heats superbly and bakes wonderfully — and it also looks stunning, even when it's just sitting out on the stovetop (which is my preferred place for it to live). Bonus: It includes a matching trivet!Promising review: 'Affordable, durable, colorful Dutch oven! Great pan for cooking stews and soups. Heavy like a Dutch oven should be. Beautiful color, easy to clean with no staining. Affordable alternative to pricier brands. Highly recommend for families who cook often.' —Target customerPrice: $114.99 And a surprisingly ~aesthetic~ air fryer, for those days when you don't have a million years to sit in front of the stove, lovingly braising short rib or whatever. This 4-quart option does all of that magnificently easy heating and crisping up of your favorite bites for which air fryers are known — and it actually looks pretty while doing it. What's not to love? Promising review: 'Life saver! I absolutely love, love, love this little air fryer. It's compact and it gets the job done. I never knew brussels sprouts could taste so good, especially when air fried!!! Thank you.' —Target customerPrice: $49.99 (available in three colors) A set of double-sided measuring spoons so useful, you'll wonder how you ever managed without them. No more needing to wash each spoon eight million times for different ingredients; just flip it around, and you've got a second, clean measure all ready to go on the other side. Talk about a step up from your standard measuring spoon set! The set comes with a tablespoon, half tablespoon, teaspoon, 3/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, and 1/4 teaspoon measures. And, bonus: They're magnetic, so they'll stay together for easy storage but also separate easily for when you only need one or two of them — no need to faff about with getting them off or on a hard-to-open review: 'Where have these been all my life? Definitely an 'investment' for measuring spoons, but this is literally what I've been wanting to have. You literally get two sets in one. Now I can finally have a 'wet' measuring side and a 'dry' measuring side without running back and forth to the sink with my one set. Better hide these from your amateur cooks; if they use it and misplace a spoon, you're gonna regret as a chef for sharing.' —Yanna NPrice: $17.99 A digital kitchen scale, because this gadget is THE kitchen staple you don't realize you need until you have one. (Source: me — now that I have one, I will never go back to my oh-no-did-I-measure-that-ingredient-correctly-for-this-recipe? days of pre-kitchen scale anxiety.) This one even has a pull-out display — meaning you can stack a big ol' bowl or whatever on it and not subsequently struggle with trying to peer underneath the overhang in order to see the scale's reading. review: 'Perfect for everyday baking! It has two ways to zero out — when you first turn it on, it starts a 3-2-1 countdown so you can place your bowl or measuring cup, and the weight then automatically starts at 0; or, if you miss the countdown, you can place it on the scale and then press the power/zero button to reset to 0. I like being able to measure in grams, and this scale is sensitive enough to do that precisely. It also has an auto shut-off in case you forget to turn it off. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it's great!' —ric2mspPrice: $32.99 A set of 400-thread-count sheets that are, according to thousands of reviewers, the best sheets known to humankind. These much-loved sheets from Target's Threshold line are constantly praised for their cool, crisp, super cozy comfort — and, I mean, look: You spend hours of your life every day asleep. Don't you deserve to do all that snoozing in the utmost of comfort? (Yes. Yes, you do.) Promising review: 'The GOAT sheets! These have spoiled me from buying any other sheets, seriously. I'm never NOT buying Target Performance sheets. I own several sets and love how breathable and lightweight and cooling they are. I'm a hot sleeper, so these are a must! And they hold up well.' —Jessica Price: $35+ (available in sizes twin/twin XL–California king and 23 colors and patterns) And a galaxy light projector, so you can send yourself off to sleep surrounded by stars. Turn your room into a nebula. Travel through deepest space without leaving your bed. Heck, make yourself a good ol' fashioned planetarium-style light show set to Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, thanks to the projector's sound sync mode. Your before-bed routine will never be the same again. Promising review: 'Love this! I bought this lamp for myself, a middle age mom, and I freaking love it. It reminds me of the Northern Lights, and it's really relaxing to watch. I highly recommend this for people of all ages.' —MrsEb79Price: $25 A convertible backpack so versatile, reviewers say it can be anything from a work tote to a diaper bag — or even a weekender, if you're an efficient packer! Wear it as a backpack; carry it as a tote; it goes everywhere you go. FYI, the main compartment can fit laptops or tablets of up to 15 reviews: 'Perfect work bag for the young professional! This is a great bag for work. It is an affordable price, holds my supplies, and looks great, too.' —Grace'Cute bag! This has turned into my new diaper bag. Both my husband and I love the way it looks, it's so comfortable, and a great price. Great buy!' —Target customerPrice: $35 (available in four colors) An extremely cute set of stackable lunch containers that'll put an end to sad desk lunches once and for all. Nothing helps with getting into the habit of prepping and bringing your lunch like being able to bust out a fun lil' boxed situation like this in the break room. These bento-style boxes from Ello hold a total of five cups — two in the smaller one and three in the deeper one — and stack together with the included band for easy transportation. Promising review: 'Perfect containers! Love these stackable food containers. Comes with utensils and a neoprene band to wrap securely around the containers. Can hold sandwiches, pasta salad, salads, deviled or boiled eggs, wraps, fruit, lasagna, etc. Gets cold nicely in the fridge. Easy to wash and dry. Comes in a variety of colors to match the new lunch bag. Snap closures. One container comes with a divider, which I have not used. Really holds enough food if using for lunch. Perfect size. Great price point. I purchased the pink. Perfect alternative to plastic sandwich and snack bags.' —Jane Price: $10.29 (originally $14.99; available in four colors) And a lunchbox to put them in, of course. Sleek and modern, this upright-oriented zippered lunch bag has the added bonus of not looking like a lunch bag. Just y'know, in case that's a concern for you. Promising review: 'Works great for me! I needed an upright lunchbox to fit in my locker at work and this one is perfect. I bought the pink one and it's just too cute. It works great for all my needs and I only need to use one slim freezer pack and it keeps everything nice and cold all day long.' —Tina Price: $4.99 (available in two colors) A ceramic cutout essential oil diffuser that'll turn any room into the soothing, spa-like retreat you've always wanted. Fill 'er up and it'll put out a soft, beautifully scented mist for up to eight hours. It'll even shut itself off when it runs dry. According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the I ended up with an essential oil diffuser a lot like this one in my possession after a particularly good White Elephant exchange many years ago — and honestly, it is one of my favorite things in my entire home. I keep it in my office, because, well, I spend so much time in here that it behooves me to make it an enjoyable space in which to be. And boy, does my cute little diffuser help with that! Personally, I am fond of combining a few drops of peppermint and eucalyptus oils in mine, but if you're more of an orange or lavender person, have at review: 'The best one! I have owned this diffuser for several years now, and it's still going strong. It is classy-looking, not cheap plastic like most others. Very solid and heavier that most others. It has oscillating colors or one color (or no light if you prefer). Easy to set and runs eight hours. Auto-shutoff. I run it without fragrance on dry days just to humidify the air.' —Pathjourneys Price: $30 And lastly, a super luxe satin robe, because if you have not yet experienced the joys of lounging around in a comfy, cozy robe literally all day, you absolutely deserve to. Yes, even on work-from-home days. Especially on work-from-home days. Promising review: 'Pretty robe! I love this robe. It's silky and a beautiful color. Also love the long length. I was so happy to see this at Target.' —MOTXnanaPrice: $35 (available in women's sizes XS/S–3X/4X and four colors)

41 Affordable Alternatives To Name-Brand Items
E.l.f's Glow Reviver Lip Balm, which many people are comparing to the oh-so-popular Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm. You'll get that same iconic soft silicone applicator, and it'll leave your lips feeling hydrated and glossy. A double-pouch wristlet wallet that looks like it could be sold at Lululemon because of how similar it is to their version (which is $48). Save your hard-earned money and get this affordable alternative instead to conveniently hold your cash, car keys, and whatever else you need to bring on the go. A Simple Modern tumbler so you can enjoy some cold, crisp water without worrying about leaks, thanks to its airtight cap that seals when you're not using the straw. Plus, you can just order this online, and you won't have to fight everyone and their mom when Stanley tumblers get released at Target. Slip-on Cushionaire cork sandals for those of you who have been putting off buying Birkenstocks and 👏🏼 will continue to do so 👏🏼 because these are sooo similar. You get the same cushiony feel and great support. A Briotech spray that's got the same main ingredient as the popular Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray — hypochlorous acid. It'll help soothe redness and inflammation and can even be beneficial for healing piercings. A pair of squoval polarized sunglasses, because you know that it doesn't take a pair of designer shades to make it look like you're cooler than everyone else. You're cooler because you just saved yourself from spending a Benjamin Franklin plus some on Ray-Ban sunnies. A classy shoulder bag that could make you think, "Wait, am I being punk'd?" since this is a super affordable version of the almost $400 Coach Swing Bag. Plus, it even comes with the iconic Coach Cherry Charm that is $95 alone! A pair of statement teardrop earrings, a fashion-forward twist on the classic hoop. Contrary to how chunky they look, reviewers say they are lightweight and a comfortable staple to their earring collection. Bottega Veneta, who?? A tote bag perfect for the office because it can hold your laptop, snacks, and water bottle, all while looking exactly like the Longchamp Le Pliage tote. She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment because she's only $27! A sunrise alarm clock because you're very funny if you think I'm spending $150+ on the Hatch to be woken up. 30 minutes before your set wake-up time, this gradually changes from a red all the way to a bright white to naturally wake you up. Now I'm not a morning person, but this seems like a pretty peaceful way to be woken up. The Gym People's pullover fleece sweatshirt you'll never want to take off because of how soft the fabric is. You can throw it on over your cute pilates set or pair it with some jeans on your rest days. Plus, it even has thumb holes, just like the Lululemon version! A chic laptop tote bag so you can be in the business of slaying *and* saving money because this one is BÉISically like the Béis tote but for $90 cheaper. Reviewers love how much you can fit into this bag, and even better, it has SO MANY POCKETS! A pair of high-waisted yoga pants because we all probably wish we could have a field day at Lulu, but our wallets aren't on board with that idea. These have a seamless waistband and even have pockets on the side! Or a pair of popular cross-waist leggings with just a little more *flare* than your regular old straight-banded yoga pants. These are the perfect blend of comfort and cute for any outing and look just like the Aerie ones for way less. A super plush blanket that many have compared to the likes of Barefoot Dreams since it's got that cozy softness, just minus the hefty price tag. You will love cuddling up to this on the couch or keeping it at the foot of your bed! A cubic zirconia cuff because, tbh, having a Cartier bracelet that is over $17,000 on your wrist is just a little out of your budget.... who am I kidding... it's about $16,986 out of your budget. But $13? That's more like it. A belt bag that's basically a Lululemon look-a-like, but for way cheaper. This has tons of storage and can be worn crossbody or fanny pack style. It's easy to grab when you're heading out for a quick errand and great to pack for a weekend trip where you won't want to be lugging around a heavy purse. A bodycon jumpsuit if you love keeping up with the trends, but your wallet... not so much. This looks *and* feels just like the Aritzia "Butter" jumpsuit but for a fraction of the price! A faux-leather bag featuring magnetic closures that make it extra wide to fit all of the day's necessities and more. Reviewers rave about how this looks just like the Polène Cyme bag. It's big enough to fit a water bottle and an iPad and even comes with a small zipper pouch for your smaller items that always get lost at the bottom of your purse. A scoop-neck top for less than half the price of the Skims version, while still feeling buttery soft. Miss Kimberly.... not even your 15% off the first order coupon will get me to choose your top over this one. Sorry, not sorry. A pair of slip-on loafer mules that are soooo close to the Gucci ones but thankfully far from that hefty price tag. These are easy to slide into and add a touch of sophistication to your look. A Smeg-like, but not Smeg-priced electric kettle featuring a thermometer to get the water to the exact right temperature for your extra hot pour-over coffee or your soothing cup of tea. It also has an automatic shutoff! A midi corset dress — a gift sent down from the cottagecore gods because you ALMOST bought the House of CB "Carmen" dress that's a whopping $225, but thankfully you saw this post before you checked out. It's even got the back cinch and the front tie just like the original. A pair of Steve Madden H strap sandals perfect for a trip to Europe or if you just want to switch out the plain thong flip flops for a more sophisticated look. You'll be sure to shock everyone when you tell them they aren't Hermès. (Gasp!) A pair of super relaxed straight-leg workout pants that look quuiitteeee similar to the Lululemon Dance Studio Pants that everyone and their mom L.O.V.E. These have a drawstring waistband, extra inner pockets, and are sooo breathable! A set of internet-famous Mellanni sheets reviewers compare to the expensive brands like Brooklinen and Pottery Barn. These are super soft and made from moisture-wicking microfiber fabric for all you hot sleepers. Just take a look at the 250,000 5-star reviews if you need more convincing. E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine because, believe it or not, you don't need to spend more than an Erewhon smoothie for that viral lip color everyone and their mom is talking about. This "Ecstatic" shade looks just like Clinique's Almost Lipstick in "Black Honey" just at a more affordable price! A pair of wide-leg jeans reviewers love because of the button detailing and the unique front pockets. These look pretty similar to ones you'd find on the racks at Anthropologie, but MINUS the triple-digit price tag! E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, which could be #TWINNING with the Milk Makeup Hyrdro Grip Primer (but it's the cooler, cheaper sibling 😉). This is infused with hyaluronic acid, so not only does it moisturize your skin, but it also acts as a perfect base for your makeup and keeps it in place all day and night. Long-lasting Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint that reviewers compare to the likes of Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution and YSL's Velvet Cream. It'll give you a beautiful pop of color and have your lips feeling hydrated thanks to the blend of vitamin E oil and green tea oil. A pack of two Venus Visage teeth whitening pens so you can show off those bright pearly whites when you tell your friends you saved a bunch of money not getting professional teeth whitening or using those wasteful Crest Whitestrips. Plus, this doesn't give you that slimy, weird aftertaste like most whitening strips. A faux pearl choker that'll get people to ask you, "Is that Vivienne Westwood?" pretty much every time you accessorize with this beauty of a necklace. It's so chic and so much cheaper than the original. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip made with hydrating raspberry seed oil and vegan squalene to moisturize your lips and add a sheer shine. You can try all you want to justify that $40 Dior Lip Oil, but you *and* your wallet will be much better off getting this one for less than $10. A rainbow-inspired eyeshadow palette so versatile that you might not even need to think about getting another (more expensive) one from Sephora or Ulta since this has matte, shimmer, AND metallic shades. You'll never know when you need a bright green shadow, but at least, you know this has it. Maybelline's Cheek Heat gel-cream blush that's a great swap for Glossier Cloud Paint in case the $22 a tube is making you want to ration product for the next three years. This water-based formula is super buildable, so it'll be great for natural and glam looks. L'Oreal's illuminating Lumi Glotion you can use as a luminous base under your other makeup products, or use on those no-makeup days where you just want a natural glow. This has glycerin and shea butter for extra moisture, and reviewers even say this is better than the Saie Glowy Super Gel and the Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi drops! A TruSkin Vitamin C Serum that will help reduce wrinkles, even out dark spots, and brighten up your skin. The hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, witch hazel, and jojoba oil work wonders to help your skin look better AND brighter each day. Reviewers say this works just as well as the SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, which is $182! A satin pillowcase to give you a splendid sleep experience that's better for your hair and skin — satin creates less friction and doesn't absorb moisture. These are so silky smooth that you'll want to enjoy this luxury — quietly, in bed, and asleep. Slip and Blissy who?? A faux-leather shoulder bag because the TikTok girlies have all agreed the Coach Brooklyn Bag is a must-have in your bag collection, but with that nearly $300 price tag... YIKES and no thanks. This, on the other hand, is much more reasonable and it looks quiiiiiite similar. A set of chic cylindrical wineglasses — great if you want a change from the traditional wineglass but are on a strict budget. Cheers to saving money by not getting the more expensive Crate & Barrel version! A personalized hairbrush if you deeply care about everything in your life being just as aesthetic as you are. You can customize it with your name or initials, and it looks just like the custom ones you can get from Emi Jay that are.... wait for it... $134. 😳 You after you figured out that you DON'T need to spend all your money on the name brand stuff: Reviews for this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

34 Things Reviewers Say Are Just As Good As The More Expensive Version

The loungewear's versatility is a standout; it transitions seamlessly from a relaxing day at home to a quick errand run with no compromise on style or comfort. Durability is another plus—it has withstood several washes with no pilling or loss of elasticity. For those seeking the Skims experience without the hefty price tag, this set is a must-have!" —Alaina YvonneGet it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in women's sizes XS–L and seven colors).

'Future You' Will Thank Current You For Buying These 30 Organization Products Now
1. A bottle organizer for anyone who owns at least one reusable bottle from each of the major brands (because you needed to try them all out and find the best one, duh). But you obvs can't get rid of/donate any of them because you never know when you might need your Owala versus your Simple Modern. Different occasions call for different bottles, ppl!!! This thing will help keep them in one tidy spot!! YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that sells kitchen storage products! Promising review: "This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I've been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" — RT17 Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two heights and a wide size). 2. Adhesive bathroom shelves because placing all of your products in the itty bitty corners of the tub or on the shower floor just isn't cutting it anymore! They look messy, they get knocked over, and it's just NOT efficient. Please, do yourself a favor and get these. Promising review:"I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they've stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I'm so impressed! I'm sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install. They look beautiful and modern and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It's so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" — Sara B Get a set of two caddies from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in four finishes and an option with a soap holder). 3. A hanger stacker if the pile of clothes hanging on the back of your chair keeps growing for one specific reason: You don't feel like untangling your mess of hangers enough to put your items in the closet. With this, you'll be able to just grab a hanger and prevent the chair mess in the first place! Maybe now you'll actually be able to find the clothes you want to wear! Promising review:"Great functionality. I gather hangers as I gather dirty clothes. This stacker lives in my laundry room between the washer and dryer. It keeps my plastic hangers under control, and I no longer suffer 'clothes hanger rage' from them getting tangled and not cooperating with me." — msw Get it from Amazon for $27.90. 4. A cutlery drawer organizer to help consolidate all of your forks, knives, and spoons into one fabulous little space-saving tool. Perhaps being able to see that all of your spoons are sitting dirty in the sink will prompt you to wash them so you don't have to eat your yogurt with a fork. Promising review:"I thought this would be handy and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it's just as handy and useful." — Magpie Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in two colors and two sizes). 5. A set of under-bed storage bags, because if you're lucky enough to have a bed with enough space underneath it to store things away, it's a crime if you let it go to waste. THAT'S PRECIOUS REAL ESTATE, PEOPLE!!! IT'S BEGGING TO HOLD ONTO THE SWEATERS AND PANTS YOU SO DESPERATELY NEED TO CLEAR AWAY SO YOU HAVE ROOM FOR WARM WEATHER OUTFITS! You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, whatever you have too much of. Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn Get two bags from Amazon for $11.87+ (available in five styles and packs of four). 6. Or a pack of vacuum bags that don't create the same amount of bulk as other storage bags, because you can vacuum up all the excess air. They're good to store under your bed since they shrink up teeny tiny. These bags are made with antimicrobial materials, so you don't have to worry about mold, mildew, or bacteria building up. Plus, they come with a free travel pump! Check out my colleague's Spacesaver vacuum storage bags review for more details! Promising review:"I have a small house, so room is at a premium. Seasonal clothing and bedding have always been a chore. While downsizing and consolidating big comforters and heavy clothing, I researched these and thought they seemed to be of better quality than some others I viewed. I was NOT disappointed. They worked great and freed up a ton of room in my small closets — no more quilts falling down every time you open the door. Great quality and price. Highly recommend." — Arlene B. Grace Get a six-pack of various sizes from Amazon for $15.56+ (available in other sizes). 7. An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer that'll keep 'em safe in one tidy spot, whether you're buying one for your kids' toys or your own. (Hey, stuffed animals are for adults, too!) Next time you need to find the Squishmallow for a snuggle time, you'll know exactly where it is! Honeyera is a small business that sells items specifically designed to keep kids' toys organized. Promising review:"This holds a ton of stuffed animals. I bought it for my two girls, who share a room, and their beds are overrun with stuffies. This holds so much so they can still be on display; it's easy for them to get them in and out except for the top basket, and it matches their room colors. Great quality and easy to use." — The Word Of A King Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in nine colors). 8. A wall-mounted organizer ideal for holding cleaning supplies like brooms and mops, or in your garage/shed to store things such as gardening tools. With summer social gatherings on the horizon and yard work endeavors in the air, this will make it so easy to find and grab exactly what you need when you need it. Berry Ave is a small biz that sells organizational products. Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to the wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in three different pack sizes and four colors). 9. A measuring cup and spoon organizer to help free up some precious real estate in your drawers.

A makeup organizer that'll make for a great spot to store your cosmetics, skincare products, brushes, sponges, and more. Being able to find the exact lipstick color you want to wear instead of having to settle for a shade that doesn't match your lewk? Game changer. BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan is a fan of this makeup organizer. She says: " This nifty little organizer looks beautiful, can fit ALL of my everyday makeup, and (drumroll please) it keeps clutter at bay in my bathroom — which is extremely tiny, BTW. I can fit so 👏 damn 👏 much 👏 inside of this four-drawer thing. Here are all the products that I currently have in there: 32 lipsticks, six blushes and bronzers, two large highlighter sticks, one foundation bottle, three concealers, two contouring sticks, two rollerball perfumes, two primers, and the bottom drawer contains so many lip pencils, eyeliners, and eyeshadow sticks that I actually didn't even bother counting (but I'm going to guess AT LEAST 30 of them, I swear).* If you have A TON OF MAKEUP (which I do), then you may still have to store some extra stuff in your bags — but either way, this container holds SO much. But the real winner winner chicken dinner here? I have easy access to all the makeup I use every single day and can see all of it at once. I don't have to dig around the bottomless pit that is one of my many, many makeup bags anymore — I just have to open and close a drawer." Need more convincing? Be sure to check out the rest of her Ikee Design makeup organizer review. Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors and other styles). 11. An under-sink organizer featuring a sliding basket that'll make whatever clutter you have going on down there a lot easier to deal with. Need a sponge and cleaning spray? No problem! Easy peasy! Right there! Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings and they hold true." — Brad J. Leahy Get it from Amazon for $25.87+ (available in two colors). 12. A desktop organizer to finally give all of the items on your desk, like books, folders, writing utensils, decorative pieces, and more, a tidy storage spot. Plus, this is a piece of decor in its own right, so it'll make your workspace really pop. Promising review:" I have gone through many different desk organizers trying to find the right one, and this is it. It is sturdy, adjustable, and stylish. I read that many people were disappointed by the fact that there were no covers for the screws, but I purchased the light wood tone, and I think the screws add to the aesthetic. It looks great, and I love it. I would recommend this product to anyone who asked!" — Julia Harrison Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors). 13. An over-the-door cabinet organizer because it's not your fault you own more hot tools than you know what to do with — of course, you NEED a flat iron, a curling iron, a hot air brush, a regular hair dryer, a barrel waver, a curl bar, and a Dyson Airwrap. Unfortunately, you've likely run out of space in your drawers/cabinets, and hot tools cluttering your countertop is not a good look. This is here to save the day! Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before, all my items were in a drawer, and the cords were a pain, but this metal baske t minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and also looked nice. It fits two of my blow-dryers, a flat iron, and a curling wand. The bars are adjustable, as well (just use the twisties that came with them to secure them in place). Worth the buy!" — Alyssa Jewell Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 14. A tea bag organizer to make taking out your favorite tea bag a heck of a lot easier than rummaging through a bajillion tea boxes. After all, settling for a caffeinated option like English breakfast when you're trying to unwind before bed is probably not the best idea. This is also made by YouCopia! Promising review:"Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" — Sarah C. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes). 15. An under-cabinet coffee pod holder ideal for those with limited kitchen storage space. Your counter is already busy holding your coffee maker. Keep your favorite pods nearby and within reach without cluttering your surfaces! Promising review: "This space saver K-cup shelf is wonderful! It is attractive and keeps my counter clutter-free. It is lightweight but very sturdy. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to gain valuable counter space." — christine h Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 16. A personalized jewelry box because leaving your necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings sprawled out on your dresser is most definitely the reason you find accessories knotted together. Keep them tidy in this case! Plus! This is also small and easy enough to pack for future travels! Little England Gifts is run by business owner, designer, and creator Kelly Rodrigues. Based in Portugal, the shop sells one-of-a-kind personalized gifts, all made by Kelly with some occasional help from her husband, Freddy. Promising review:"Nicer than I thought. Looks more expensive than it is. Pleased with the monogram. Would make a sweet gift." — Linda gromada Get it from Little England Gifts on Etsy for $13.90 (available in 14 colors/styles, 14 writing colors, and with or without gift bags). 17. A wrapping paper storage container you'll want to buy ASAP if you've ever gone on an unsuccessful last-min scavenger hunt for the birthday-themed wrapping paper you know you own but cannot seem to find anywhere, so you contemplate your next best option: Christmas, Mother's Day, or graduation?! Well, now you have a handy organizer to keep all those rolls in one tidy spot. Future you will be grateful, trust us. Promising review:"This product is fantastic. I have all of my wrapping paper for holidays and special occasions all contained and ready for their subsequent use. One of my favorite parts is the sleeves that hold tags and ribbons. The design is low enough to store under the bed and strong enough that I'm not worried the stuff inside will get damaged." — duncan Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 18. A cable management box because that tangle of wires and chargers is starting to look to mention, it's a total tripping hazard for anyone who dares to get too close to it. This box is a heck of a lot nicer to look at — and your foot not getting caught up in a wire is a bonus, too! Amazon Promising review:"I've been searching for something to not only hide the cord mess but protect them from my munch monster of a cat. This box, in addition to cable straps and cable wrap, has solved my cable management like magic! I highly recommend this product." — Lauryn Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 19. A spice rack drawer organizer to make locating your favorite seasonings super simple. How many recipes have you accidentally altered the taste of because you reached into your messy collection of spices to grab the garlic powder and took the onion powder instead? A tidier home and more dishes that actually taste the way they're meant to, coming right up! This is also made by YouCopia! Promising review:"This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! They are so customizable and allow you to cut and shape them to any drawer size. I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for sure buy!" — momonono Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 20. A divided drawer organizer because you've had one too many instances now of rushing to grab a pair of gray socks out of your drawer in the morning and instead pulling out a pair of gray underwear. No offense to your gray underwear, I am sure it looks lovely, but it probably won't protect your feet too well! It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different-sized garments. Promising review:"I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights, and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fit, but finally, I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I'm in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks, tights, or undies, each well can fit more than one on top of the other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau, which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge, you'll be super glad you did!" — Chrissquasi Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in seven colors). 21. A bakeware/pan rack that'll make going to grab the cookie sheet, muffin tin, frying pan (or whatever else it is you may need) a lot less hectic than having to go through the pile and lift up every item until you get the right one. Plus, reviewers say putting their pans on this rack prevents scratches from stacking pans on top of each other, and prevents scratches on their cabinets! This is also made by YouCopia! Promising review:"I like how easy it is to put together, and that the separation pieces are adjustable. You customize it for your own storage needs! The separators are fairly easy to move and extremely sturdy. No more pans falling over!" — Marilee Housden Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 22. A food bag organizer/dispenser because having various sizes of baggies for leftovers, sandwiches, and snackies is imperative to meal prep and school lunches, but all those boxes create utter chaos!! Say goodbye to mess and hello to a smarter storage solution. This is also made by YouCopia! Promising review:"I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. It would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three- and four-slot models). 23. A wooden blanket ladder that'll finally give you a nice spot to put all those throw blankets you have draped over your couch (which, contrary to what you might think, is not a decorative statement). This ladder tho? It most certainly is! Promising review:"I really like the thick wood, it feels like it's high quality and makes the ladder very sturdy. The rungs are also tilted, which I love. It makes sliding blankets on and off easy and without snagging. The rustic finish really goes well with my farmhouse decor. I'm currently keeping it in my living room nestled on my new decorative wall, and it really adds to the charm! The assembly was pretty easy and only took a few minutes. All the holes were predrilled and the rungs had metal threaded bores for the screws so they went in very easily. The tops and bottoms all have padding, so it should prevent my wall and floor from getting scratched. All in all, very happy with the purchase and might buy another as a gift!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 24. A wall-mounted yoga mat holder, because does anyone really know exactly where in their home is a good spot to keep those mats? They're not bulky or taking up too much space, but they're also kinda flimsy little eyesores sitting in the corner of the room. Now you have a great spot to put them! Plus, you can use the hooks at the bottom for other types of fitness equipment, like resistance bands! Promising review:"I love this product! It feels so much better to keep my yoga mats up off the floor when not in use. It's also been great to have a single place to keep all of my exercise equipment organized in one place. I have four mats, a yoga block, resistance bands, and mini resistance bands on mine, and it feels sturdy and looks great!" — dorothy m. haber Get it from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in two colors and a pack of two). 25. An organizer insert designed to fit into an empty Altoids Smalls container. Rather than throwing away those lil' tins, you can recycle them into something functional for daily use, like organizing pills, sewing supplies, and other tiny trinkets! Bridge Design/Etsy Bridge Designed is based in Pittsburgh and sells super smart lil' organizational products! Promising review:"These inserts are so handy!! I decorated a small Altoids tin out of boredom at the beginning of lockdown and have been using it as a pill tin ever since…just had pills rolling around until I found these little inserts! Colors are fun, and now my handbag doesn't rattle." — Janet P. Get it from Bridge Design on Etsy for $4.27 (available in seven colors and nine styles). 26. A folding trunk organizer if you've ever had to apologize to your friends and family about how messy your car is before driving them somewhere. You can use this handy thing to hold onto snacks, beverages, chargers, car essentials, cleaning supplies, and anything else you might need! Amazon Promising review:"It was just what I needed for my messy and unorganized truck! I wanted something not too bulky, but just the right size to help me reorganize my trunk. This product did that for me. I was also concerned that it'd move when I drove, but luckily, there is Velcro on the bottom that secures it in place while you drive, and sure enough, it did just that! This product does not take up a lot of space and gives you the right amount of space to place other things like groceries and a suitcase. I am completely satisfied and content with this product! I wish I had it all along!" — Neese Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 27. A battery organizer because scattered throughout a junk drawer is not a good storage spot for batteries, FYI. Now they'll be tidy, and you'll be able to easily take inventory of which ones you actually have. This *safely* holds 82 batteries of various sizes. You can store it in a drawer or mount it on a wall! Promising review:"Something so simple saved me an entire drawer's worth of space! We had a battery drawer in the den desk, but it was a mess! Opened battery packages, half of which had new batteries, other batteries floating around loose in the drawer all willy-nilly, all different sizes and brands mixed together. It was an eyesore and a pain every time I had to look for batteries. Now, thanks to this little helper, our batteries are organized and easy to find and grab right inside the basement stairs doorway. The wattage tester is super helpful, and I was able to toss out half of the batteries we'd had that were dead or nearly dead from being old or accidentally put back with the new batts instead of into recycling. It feels a little thin and flimsy, but it just holds the batteries; you don't move or bend it, so it's moot. So glad I bought this; it's fantastic!!" — Amanda S. Michniewicz Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 28. A magnetic cloud key holder for anyone who's ever gone on a panicked, frantic search for their keys while in a rush to make it to an appointment. It's like your keys know you need to be somewhere, and they're trying to play hide-and-seek with you. Sorry, keys — you lose! Promising review:"So, yes, TikTok made me buy this, but so far, I really like it. It's obviously very adorable and offers a charming spot to keep my keys that works with my entryway. I'm really surprised by how strong the hold is for such a small object — I carry my car fob and a few keys, and so far, it's holding strong. I hung it with Command strips to avoid any potential damage to the wall, and I will say make sure it's level as the hold is not so good on an angle (but that was from the original in-hand testing). Definitely recommend and for the price, I'm very tempted to get one for my at-work office." — D. Carter Get it from Amazon for $7.98. 30. A nail polish organizer that'll help you keep track of your pretty polishes. Listen, owning as many polish colors as your local salon is a brag-worthy achievement. But what good does it do if you can't locate your favorite bottle of Essie "Ballet Slippers" and have to settle for *gasp* a different shade of pink?! Promising review:"This is better than advertised. All my bottles fit perfectly in the standard-size boxes. My Julep colors fit two in a compartment! The first row has adjustable dividers, so you can use them to keep odd-shaped bottles or do what I do: Use one side for my nail stamper, dotting tools, and drying drops, and the other for foam wedges and nail pens. It looks way neater, easily tucked under my vanity instead of the baskets and baskets of polishes I had to hunt through!" — Clouds Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in two colors and sizes).
