38 Amazon Skincare Items Our Readers Are Loving In 2025
A bottle of E.l.f. Skin Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops that'll feel like a cool drink of water for your face in the morning — refreshing, brightening, and hydrating. Ahhhhh. Infused with a 1% hibiscus complex, hyaluronic acid, and 5% niacinamide, this multitasking serum sinks in fast with a nongreasy finish reviewers are obsessed with. You can use it solo for that fresh-faced glow, layer it under makeup as a hydrating primer, or even mix it into your foundation for extra dew. Promising reviews: "Makes my skin feel like it just took a drink of COLD water. And a nice pearly glow after." –Beverly Hayes"I've been using the e.l.f. Thirst Burst Drops for a few months now, and I'm honestly obsessed. My skin has been feeling way more hydrated, and there's this natural glow that wasn't there before. It's super lightweight—almost like water—and absorbs fast without feeling greasy or sticky.I love that it has 5% niacinamide because it's helped even out some redness I always get around my nose and cheeks. The hibiscus complex gives it that extra boost of brightness, too. I use it before my moisturizer or sometimes mix it in, and my makeup sits beautifully on top. If you want dewy skin without spending a ton, this one's a gem. Definitely staying in my routine." —Makala HubbardPrice: $11.97 A butt acne-clearing lotion because your tushy deserves to be blemish free, too. It's formulated with antibacterial tea tree oil to help soothe inflamed skin and prevent future breakouts. Promising review: "This product is gentle on the skin, but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps like a rash or breakout can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering...I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." —Billie BPrice: $24.99 A Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric overnight mask to work the night shift so you can wake up looking like you got a facial in your dreams (the kojic acid, vitamin C, and retinol help to tackle dullness while the turmeric and collagen help to soothe and nourish the skin). Reviewers say they wake up to smoother, glowier, more even-toned skin — and the satisfying peel-off in the morning? Just a little treat to wake up to. Promising review: "I'll start by saying I have very oily skin that can break out easily and I used this for five days in a row with no issues! I spread it on with a silicone brush…you only need a very thin layer! It does dry within 10 minutes or so. After the first night I did make sure to move my mouth area as it dried to prevent peeling/lifting around my nose and mouth area before bed. It does tickle your face if this happens LOL. I applied this after my normal nightly routine and feel like it helped my skin absorb all my products better. Since my skin is oily I always wake up feeling greasy from my products and have to wash my face in the morning. After taking the mask off in the morning my face was not nearly as greasy and felt more hydrated and plump. It is SOOOO satisfying to take off!! It reminds me of when you're little and let the Elmer's glue dry on your fingers then peel it off LOL. This is easily going to become part of my routine at least a couple of times a week!" —Missy BarronPrice: $19 A Burt's Bees after-sun lotion (with aloe and coconut oil) for when you have a little too much fun in the sun. It helps to alleviate the burning sensation and reconditions the skin after it's fried. Promising review: "I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn. It was unbelievable. I applied this four times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day. I took the top photo at 9:30 last night, then the bottom photo 23.5 hours later, and the difference is huge. The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better. I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." —Carolina $14.24 A jar of Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream that'll delight your senses in two ways: 1) the incredibly moisturizing effect on your skin and 2) the iconic scent that's simply out of this world. Specifically it smells like salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla. Promising review: "I love this stuff! Just wanted to try it out to see what the hype was about but I'm in love with the scent, plus it makes my skin super smooth. It's so comfortable to wear all day and reapply, and the smell lasts for a whole day, sometimes even longer! Definitely a great buy." —brandiPrice: $24+ (available in four sizes) A carbonated bubble clay mask so you can draw out impurities from your T-zone and have a bit of fun doing it. Your pals might have foam-o (LOL, get it) after seeing your pics on Insta Stories. But seriously, don't let my silly jokes deter you from giving this mask a go! Promising review: "I loved this! The fizzing effect exfoliated and deep cleaned my face…beyond facial smooth and bright! It felt nice during the treatment. I really sensed DEEP cleaning! I think it will be a nice weekly treat! I highly recommend for the fun experience and the amazing results." —Amy Lynn VolanskyPrice: $9.80 A SeoulCeuticals toner and face mist made with marine minerals, organic aloe, cucumber, and tamarind extract, perfect for that post-cleanse refresh or a midday pick-me-up over makeup. It'll help hydrate, soothe, and perk up tired skin with zero stickiness — just glowy, dewy vibes on demand. Promising review: "I'm in absolute love with this product!! I have really dry sensitive skin and have been on the hunt for literally YEARS trying to look for a hydrating face mist. I've gone through the Mario Badescu mists and tons others that just have not made the cut for me and I've finally found the one! This face mist hydrates my skin to the MAX, not only that but it has also been improving my skin texture! No more tiny bumps! My skin feels super smooth, hydrated and soft and I'm loving it! The best part is I've only been using it for two weeks and even after the first use I saw major changes in my skin. Since this spray does spray on a more specific part of the face, I just spray it all over my face and use my hands to lightly pat the product all over and distribute it all around. I'll definitely be reordering this product in the future!" —Carina RubioPrice: $19.98 A Nivea skin firming body gel loaded with Q10 — a buzzy ingredient that, among other things, can help to improve skin elasticity. This fast-absorbing formula also packs hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to boost hydration and radiance, making it a must-have for anyone looking to treat their body with the same care as their face. There are a ton of before-and-after pics from reviewers who say the product really does work — and fast! Promising review: "First of all, it cools your skin! If you're like me, you put on your moisturizing lotion before bed. However, if you live in the south in the summer, the last thing you want is anything sticky on your skin. My legs in particular get really dry and itchy so I'm always looking for a moisturizer to help. This of course is moisturizing, but it leaves no sticky residue, it firms my skin up on the upper thighs, leaves my shins feeling smooth and rehydrated and it's cooling!! I don't wanna wash it off in the morning it's so nice! I'm buying more! I've never seen this in a drugstore before— I've heard of Nivea, but have never seen this particular moisturizer. I'm buying this for my legs from now on!" —Brieann"I really like the feel of this lotion. It goes on smooth and easy and a little goes a long way. It dries fairly quickly so you don't have to wait long for it to absorb before getting dressed if you're in a rush. Makes my skin feel amazing! I have been using it fairly consistently for a little over two months and think the texture of my skin looks better. The silky feeling it leaves you with is the best part though. Try it!" —Buyer of things and stuffPrice: $13.98 A Jergens Natural Glow self-tanner body lotion that'll give you a believable, buildable tan *and* leave your skin feeling like it just drank a gallon of coconut water (which is actually an ingredient in the formula). This cult-favorite lotion delivers gradual color while hydrating dry skin with antioxidants and collagen. Reviewers love that it smells fresh (read: no weird self-tanner scent) and say it leaves their skin looking smoother and sun-kissed without stepping into actual sun. Promising review: "As someone who has fair skin, especially on my legs, this lotion gives me so much confidence! It gives my skin a beautiful, natural-looking tan! It goes on very evenly with absolutely no orange tones. It has a very pleasant smell, and it's easy to apply. I literally just use my hands to apply it while washing them after, and it works great! People think my tan is natural and I get many compliments!" —Lauren Nelson"This self tanner is the best one I have used. It doesn't turn orange or cause streaks. I have tried more expensive ones that didn't work as well. I am fair skinned and can't tolerate being out in the sun. This self tanner looks natural and is easy to apply." —Kindle CustomerPrice: $10.47 (available in two shades) A vibrating stainless-steel skin spatula for pushing out blackheads and other gunk from your pores — with gross yet extremely satisfying results. Pro-tip: give your face a gentle steam to help loosen up built-up oil before using this for maximum ~facial~ effects. Reviewers say they felt like serums and other products absorbed into the skin better afterward. An EltaMD sunscreen with zinc oxide nearly universally adored (by our readers, celebs, and influencers) because it's lightweight and doesn't cause breakouts. You can safely give this a try even if you have acne-prone or sensitive skin. Promising review: "I wear this every single day, and I love it. It doesn't smell strongly of SPF (which I normally hate). It also doesn't clog my pores and my acne is under control from it now." —TryphenaPrice: $23+ (available in three sizes) A zombie treatment mask to deliver scary good results — by that I mean a smoother and brighter complexion! It does look genuinely terrifying while you have it on, but no fear — you can wash it off in 15 minutes! It's simple to use: just mix the powder and activator and apply. Some reviewers say the scent is a little weird. That's because of the active ingredient called albumin — a protein made of amino acids derived from eggs. It helps moisturize your skin, but it doesn't smell very review: "I'm 39 and a mother of two, and as much as I'd love to get to the spa for treatments, I simply can't. I thought I'd try this product because why not? I've currently used two masks, and my skin is loving them. I've read complaints about the smell and the tightness, but the smell is NOT bad. And if you're expecting something to smell flowery, it could be counterproductive for this type of product. And as for the tightness in the skin, I love it! As soon as you wash it off, your skin feels soft and has more of a smooth texture. I'm sold! Customer for life." —Angel RoyalPrice: $16 for an eight-pack A Derma E Scar Gel that'll help improve the appearance of scars and soothe burns and tattoos. Packed with panthenol, allantoin, and onion bulb extract (don't worry — no weird smell!), this gel soothes and hydrates while helping to visibly smooth out lumpy or bumpy skin. Thousands of reviewers say it really works. Promising review: "I have used this product for three months now and have seen big difference! I used this on a brand new scar I had from a surgery, and try to put it on everyday but definitely not consistent with it yet. With that said, without using it everyday I have already seen redness go down and hope after using it for rest of year the redness will be gone! Highly recommend." —Cheyenne Cararo"This really works! I had a few spots on my face from blisters and one on my leg from hot oil. They have really faded in just a couple of weeks. It does not leave a greasy or sticky feeling on my skin. There is not much of a smell to it either. I will definitely keep a jar on hand and highly recommend." —Shelly BiddlePrice: $22.50 An Aveeno Daily Moisturizing dry body oil mist so you'll look like you've been on vacation in Capri, even if you've barely left your couch. This lightweight, non-greasy mist is powered by oat oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to deeply nourish dry, sensitive skin — minus the heavy, sticky feel. Reviewers say it leaves them feeling silky, not greasy, and smelling subtly fresh. Think of it as lotion's cooler, glowier cousin. Promising review: "I've tried so many lotions and body butters, but my skin never fully absorbed them—until this body oil. It soaks in perfectly, leaves no greasy residue, and keeps my skin soft and glowing all day. This is the only product that truly works for me. It's amazing!" —Aolani Bianca"To say I'm happy with this product is an understatement. Not only does it smell fantastic, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave an oily residue on you or your clothes. My skin is already noticeably softer after only one use. Will definitely be a new staple for me!" —VictoriaPrice: $9.58 Eos' Shea Better body lotion in a sumptuous vanilla cashmere scent for self-care at its finest. It's impossible not to feel relaxed after slathering some of this on your body post-shower. It's moisturizing without being heavy or greasy — a flawless formula really. A CeraVe Eye Repair Cream to help deliver results you can ~see~ with consistent use — and by that I mean, the reduced appearance of puffiness and eye bags. How does it do it, you might ask?? A blend of moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid, brightening niacinamide, and the three essential ceramides that CeraVe uses in all their products to help boost your skin's barrier. Plus, you can use this gentle formula both day *and* night. Promising review: "I've been using CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream for over a year and still use the original tube I purchased. A little lasts a long time, and I only need a bit to apply to my eye area. Over this time, I've seen a huge noticeable difference in the dark circles and bagginess under my eyes. I apply it to my entire eye area — even on top. I have no adverse reaction, just a little tingling that goes away within a few minutes, and I have fairly sensitive skin. After moisturizing, it's the final step in my skin regimen, and there is actual brightness upon application! I use this at night only so nothing else goes on top of it, and it sits while I sleep and does the job. I realized the trick here is being consistent with it." —mktPrice: $14.44 A TruSkin vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, aloe vera, and jojoba oil that'll help brighten dark spots and even your complexion in a ~mellow~ kind of way (you know, because some vitamin C products can sometimes sting). This one promises visible results with no irritation — and *tens of thousands* of reviewers say it truly delivers. An Olay Super Serum body wash so you can come out of the shower feeling like you've already moisturized — thanks to five key ingredients in the formula: niacinamide, BHA, collagen peptide, vitamin E, and shea butter. Reviewers say it smells luxurious (with notes of coconut, vanilla, and fresh florals), has a rich lather, and actually works well as a cleanser with some added benefits like helping to smooth dry patches and bumpy spots. Promising review: "I recently tried the Olay Serum Body Wash, and it's become my new favorite! This body wash is incredibly creamy, leaving my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It lathers beautifully and has a luxurious texture that makes every shower feel like a spa experience. I've also started using it for shaving my legs, and it's a game-changer—glides smoothly and prevents irritation. Five stars for this amazing product!" —Amazon Obsessed"I am obsessed with this body wash! I've had a hard time finding a body wash that works well and smells good all in one. This one is smooth, silky, and super hydrating. My skin feels soft right out of the shower and I don't get that tight dry feeling afterwards. Plus it smells so good like clean, subtle luxury! I've officially upgraded my shower game and I'm really happy to find a body wash that has it all!" —RebeccaPrice: $12.97 (available in three styles) Biodance's Bio-Collagen hydrogel mask for a self-care treat that lasts more than, say, 15 minutes. In fact, you're supposed to leave it overnight to really let the ingredients sink in and work their magic (although three hours is enough if you're in a pinch). The mask goes on like an opaque jelly and becomes transparent over time. You'll wake up to a plumper, brighter, and more hydrated complexion — thanks to collagen extract, niacinamide, and a lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid that's meant to penetrate the skin more effectively. A Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant to unclog pores and brighten your complexion in a non-abrasive way. Reviewers saw results within *days* — and folks with sensitive skin say it's actually gentle enough for them. There's a reason this product is a consistent crowd fave. Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Moisturizing Face SPF 60 Serum that, like the name suggests, applies like a serum, so it's everything regular sunscreen is NOT: weightless, noncomedogenic, nongreasy, and doesn't leave a white cast on skin. To summarize, this is the sunscreen for sunscreen haters. An Energizer Body Wash by Naturium so you can start your morning off on a high note — it cools on contact and has a zesty citrus scent to help you wake up in the shower. But the best part about this cleanser? It's formulated with mandelic acid and fermented sugar cane that help fight body odor so you'll smell fresh for longer throughout the day. Promising review: "Love love love. I unfortunately am someone who sweats a lot and always smells musty. I could take a shower and bathe everything and my armpits would still smell as soon as I got out. I typically put on deodorant several times a day to control the odors. However, since I have been using this body wash I no longer have these issues! I put on a natural deodorant one time a day and no longer still smell bad after getting out of the shower. This has been a game changer for me and is worth every penny. It does have a 'cooling' sensation to it so I do not recommend accidentally letting it get into your no-go zones because it will feel like a menthol rub for several minutes afterwards. 10/10 do not recommend that part. But I do recommend the soap itself!" —JOHANNA ARMSTRONG"I absolutely love this body wash! I bought the energizer variety/scent. It has a nice, mild smell, which is great for someone like me who is sensitive to scents. It leaves skin soft and clean-feeling. Best of all, I've noticed a huge difference in odor control. I smell better all day, even after a workout, than I ever have in my life! Really grateful I found this soap." —MonicaPrice: $15.99 Medicube's "Zero Pore" dual-textured toner pads formulated with AHA lactic acid and BHA salicylic acid for banishing excess oil and refining the appearance of your pores in a few swift wipes. One reviewer said this product was the key to achieving the coveted "glass skin" look, while many others said these pads didn't irritate their sensitive skin. A Medix 5.5 body lotion formulated with retinol (and raise your hand if you didn't know that retinol body products existed in general 🙋♀️) — an active ingredient that helps to resurface your skin and give it a plumper, smoother appearance. It also contains ferulic acid — an antioxidant that helps target sun damage — and vitamin E, which works to absorb and trap moisture into your skin. Who knew body lotion could work so hard? A pack of Peach Slices hydrocolloid nose patches that'll work through the night to absorb oil and dirt (that can lead to blackheads) from your pores while you sleep, probably dreaming of having low-maintenance skin. And when you wake up, get ready to be blown away by all the gunk that's been sucked out. A Gold Bond firming cream so you can give your neck and chest some much-needed pampering, because let's be real, our faces normally get all the attention (justice for necks!!). This nourishing yet non-greasy formula is designed to help improve the appearance of your skin's texture and elasticity. Many reviewers say it really does work as advertised (and they brought *receipts*). Anua's Heartleaf cleansing oil for effortlessly removing waterproof makeup and SPF while also clearing out your pores. The oil emulsifies into a milky texture when it comes into contact with water and easily rinses off. Many reviewers say they saw actual blackheads come out in the cleansing process. Like, wow. And Anua's Heartleaf Quercetinol Cleansing Foam with 0.5% BHA to complete your double cleanse routine so not a trace of mascara remains. It'll gently exfoliate without causing any irritation — thanks to the key ingredient heartleaf, which can help calm your skin. Bonus: it has a subtle, spa-like scent and a soft, silky texture that'll make washing your face feel like a treat. A Briotech spray that essentially does everything the popular Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray can do — reducing redness and rashes, calming eczema and psoriasis, and fighting acne-causing bacteria — for way less $$. That's all because of a magic ingredient called hypochlorous acid — which is naturally produced in our bodies by white blood cells, as part of the body's immune system to fight off infections and pathogens. Yep, so that explains its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Clean Skin Club's disposable face towels, if you suspect your regular face towels may be responsible for some irritation and breakouts. By switching to these soft and absorbent viscose ones, you won't have to worry about bacteria lingering on washcloths or staining your "good towels" with makeup. Reviewers say they're super sturdy and can even be rinsed and reused for other purposes, such as wiping down the sink. A First Aid Beauty body scrub for anyone struggling with keratosis pilaris, aka strawberry skin. It combines a chemical exfoliator (glycolic and lactic acids) with a physical exfoliator (pumice beads) for double the scrubbing power to help tackle any rough bumps and clogged pores. Promising review: "I usually do not write reviews, but I have to give credit when it's absolutely due. Recently, on my chest, I started getting the bumpy skin; I couldn't figure out what caused this; it looked like clogged pores. I tried doing a peel off mask, exfoliating with different products; picking at it (DON'T); nothing was working. After the FIRST use of this product, my chest and arms were sooo smooth and visibly clear. I couldn't believe how simple it was to get rid of a BIG insecurity. I mean, this was preventing me from wearing certain shirts. After the second use nearly a week later, it's completely gone. THAT SIMPLE. 😭😭😭 Buy it now!!!!!" —Serena ledayPrice: $12+ (available in two sizes) A pack of pimple patches that are basically tiny hydrocolloid bandages, which will absorb pesky zits, minimize their appearance, and help them heal faster. In my experience, these work best overnight on a clean face, but you can also wear them during the day if needed. Promising review: "I've tried different kinds of pimple patches, but this is the best overall. This is a bit pricy compared to other products, but it's worth it. I use this before bed when the pimple shows white pus. The next morning, it is absorbed in the patch and leaves the face clean. This is very effective when you use it at the right time." —Steve KPrice: $12.99 for a 36-pack An ~ink-redible~ octopus-shaped scrub stick so you can easily draw out blackheads and whiteheads. It's formulated with black mud, which helps to remove excess sebum and clean out your pores. It may look like a novelty product, but it's actually a little skincare powerhouse. Promising reviews: "I've literally suffered with blackheads covering my nose my entire life. They only went away if I got sunburnt, but nothing else worked. I just accepted my nose would forever be spotted. This octopus thing actually works, y'all! I have a spot-free nose for the first time in 32 years, and I've only used this thing twice. You can actually see the funk lifting out of your pores! I didn't believe it until I saw it. I plan to continue using every other day as instructed and will definitely be buying this again and again and again." —Mandy"I was truly surprised by how excellent this product worked after my first use. I can't see any blackheads on my nose, which was covered in them. I never expected to find a product that would work so well for blackhead removal that didn't involve something having to pull them out of my face. I also have issues that preclude me from getting a facial so I haven't been able to properly clean out all my blackheads in quite a long time. But it doesn't matter now because I have this product and it took care of it so well. It's small but mighty and will now be part of my regular skin care routine." —DeePrice: $12.50 A nothing-short-of-miraculous Bio-Oil reviewers swear by for helping scars and stretch marks fade faster. It's also just a great moisturizer for everyday use. It contains both vitamin A and E, which work together to help boost collagen, promote cell turnover, reduce the appearance of scars, and moisturize. I mean, this is the kind of versatile product I would want with me on a desert island. Promising review: "I ordered this oil to help [with] scars and stretch marks on my legs, and WHAT THE HECK?! It worked within two weeks! I had stretch marks on my thighs, which are now completely gone! I have a bunch of scars and dark spots on my legs, and they vanished! I put on the product just before bed, and it works like magic! It also smells amazing, and it's great for sensitive skin!" —MariaPrice: $6.99+ (available in three sizes) A Kojic acid soap bar formulated with vitamin C, retinol, and collagen to help balance your skin tone and correct dark spots. It also has hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, shea butter, and olive oil, so it won't feel drying. It may look like just any bar of soap, but I assure you, it is not! Promising review: "I was asked by my daughter and husband on two separate occasions if I was wearing makeup (it was like after 11 p.m. and I was in my for bed). That's how smooth and even this soap has made my face look. I lather on my face (completely until my face looks it has a white mask on) with the bar itself and let it sit for about 2–3 minutes before I wash off with cool water. Just my routine." —S. ClemonsPrice: $14.99 for two A tube of Good Molecules Yerba Mate Eye Gel that, in addition to the main antioxidant-rich ingredient, is also formulated with hyaluronic acid and caffeine to hydrate and reduce puffiness. Although we know nothing beats a good night's sleep, this product comes pretty darn close to helping you appear awake and ready for the day at 7 a.m. A pair of exfoliating mitts for thoroughly scrubbing away dead skin — you can literally see the bits roll off as you use it. Gross but satisfying. But the even more satisfying part is how baby soft your skin will feel afterward. Promising review: "I am genuinely astonished. These work so well. I have tried everything — prescription creams, lotions, other exfoliating gloves, sand, sugar, salt, specialty scrubs, and acids designed to exfoliate; you name it, I've tried it. Nothing has ever worked until now. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and many of us with this condition have skin that does not slough and exfoliate the way it should. It contributes to keratosis pilaris, ingrowns, and generally dry, flaky skin. My skin is so smooth and velvety soft for the first time ever. I can't stop petting my shoulders, arms, and elbows. Soft as a baby's tushy! Buy these. They're miraculous." —MavenofMusicPrice: $15.99 for two A bottle of The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum to help your skin achieve that dewy, well-rested look. With *five types* of hyaluronic acid, this no-frills fan favorite helps to deeply hydrate several layers of your skin, while vitamin B5 helps boost moisture retention for a smoother, plumper complexion. Reviewers say it gives them a healthy, hydrated glow — without a hefty price tag. Promising review: "I've tried my fair share of hyaluronic acid, and this one has got to be in my top three. I absolutely love how moisturizing it is and the way it leaves your skin! You will 100% notice a difference immediately after use but with consistency, use twice a day after cleansing your face and before adding your moisturizer, your skin will look brand new and people will notice! So very happy that I discovered this brand! My skin glows radiantly after I apply this and it pairs well with my moisturizer." —JoliePrice: $9.90 How it feels when you find a skincare product that *works*:

43 Products For Bargain Lovers
E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops that'll quickly become your most talked about skincare item after you see how incredible it'll leave your face looking and feeling. It's packed with hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid and can be used solely as a serum or mixed in with your go-to foundation for a hydrating boost your skin is likely craving. Reviewers love using it instead of the pricier (but VERY similar) Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Lawless's "Forget The Filler" comes in a variety of delectable flavors (birthday cake!!!). It hydrates lips overnight (similar to Laneige's repairing sleep mask) and will make your pout fuller. It's made of shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and a stimulating peptide complex that work so magically together you won't ever want to run out. A darling heart-shaped Paris Hilton cast-iron Dutch oven you can leave out on display in your Barbie-esque kitchen, obviously, and also utilize for whipping up delicious recipes. It'll have you saying "Le Who-set?" whenever someone asks if it's from another, pricier brand. A pasta maker, so when you're in the mood to indulge in an Italian feast, you won't need to shell out half your paycheck at a restaurant with a red and white checkered tablecloth. Pick up a bottle of wine, turn on a Dean Martin playlist, and have yourself an evening! A glass mushroom lamp because scattered lighting/creating a mood is very much having a moment right now. Don't break the bank on one from Urban Outfitters or West Elm when you might just change your mind about it when trends shift again! This one is lovely, unique, and comes in a bunch of colors that'll go with your space. Cremo White Jasmine Amber Skin Moisturizing Body Wash inspired by the fancy (and not quite as affordable) Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume — body wash is filled with scents of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber and will make every shower feel like a luxury. And Cremo "Vintage Suede" body wash reviewers say smells just like Tom Ford thanks to its rich scents of white moss and rich amber. You're going to be sniffing your arms constantly after lathering up with this baby. Essence Lash Princess Mascara might just leave people wondering if you recently got eyelash extensions (which it feels like everyone and anyone has been raving about). Joke's on them! A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than 20 bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your daily stack. Plus, a plated, jewel-embedded ring with Cartier love ring vibes, so you can enjoy the same style without shelling out thousands of dollars. This take on the classic accessory even has a bit of extra razzle-dazzle to it the original simply doesn't! A layered necklace set reviewers have praised for not tarnishing *or* turning their skin green (no offense, Elphaba) which is unheard of at this price point! It'll make curating a cool style easier than ever (since it's a set, duh) but they each also be worn separately with necklaces you already have and love. Stylish chunky teardrop earrings that are a dead ringer for the Bottega Veneta ones, but you'll still be able to afford to treat yourself to an iced coffee after snagging them. They're gold-plated (sweeeet), lightweight, and reviewers have said they don't affect their sensitive ears. A set of two lightweight tinted lip balms with a touch of gloss that'll be perfect for anyone who wants to add some color to their pout but keep it looking au natural. It's super similar to the viral Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm but costs shockingly less. A facial steamer for anyone who adores splurging on facials every so often at the spa but knows, realistically, they gotta cut back and put their hard earned dollars towards something else (like a mortgage, oops). This lil' machine will let you reap those same benefits but from home (ooooh). It creates "nano-ionic" steam that penetrates skin to soften, hydrate, open up pores, *and* help relieve sinus congestion.

An electric kettle with a Smeg-like look to it that'll look so fabulous in your kitchen — you'll want to offer anyone who visits a cup of tea or a pour-over coffee the second they set foot inside.

A mini belted pack with a Lululemon look to it but without the hefty price tag — it'll force you to stop overpacking your bag with things you simply don't need for a quick stroll or trip to Target — it'll fit your wallet, keys, phone, hand sanitizer, and lip balm (the *actual* essentials). Leave your 10-foot-long CVS coupon and half-eaten granola bar in your tote bag, OK? A faux snakeskin laptop tote bag that'll slither right into your shopping cart and your heart. It'll make you appear put together even on the mornings when you're running late, toss your laptop and phone into it, and dash out the door. It's a no-brainer for anyone who loves the Béis version but knows that would just get beat up from lugging it around various coffee shops or to the office. Double-buckle slides for anyone who adores the look of Birkenstocks but has a more *~footloose and fancy-free ~* style when it comes to their footwear choices.

You can wear these cozy, fleece-lined babies both indoors and outdoors, so no need to take them off until bedtime. 😉 A bodysuit with over 24,000 5-star reviews, which feels pretty significant for a stretchy, barely there piece of clothing, don't ya think? It's hailed for being breathable, soft, perfectly accentuating of natural curves, and delightfully like Skims. Sounds like a winner to me! Plus, a TikTok-famous maxi dress reviewers say fits similarly to the popular Skims dress. It's the basic maxi bodycon number you've been hunting for — and it's saying "Honey, I'm home!) And a smocked midi dress that looks very similar to the iconic (albeit pricier) Hill House Nap Dress. It was clearly designed with frolicking in flower-filled fields in mind — just imagine it fanning out around you while you skip and twirl through some picturesque tulips. 🌷
