Works great; I no longer carry a lint roller." —Liza Przekop Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors). Pro tip: Apply just a bit of product, brush it out, and repeat. Putting too much product at once may lead to white residue. Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA, and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have a hard time. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." —Teresa Get it from Amazon for $17.60+ (available in five shades, a set, and refills). Promising review: "Purchased to wear to work with a soft pink blazer, and I got so many compliments. It looks way more expensive than what I paid. Great material, great color, and great fit. You can probably dress it down with flats also, but I wore heels." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $29.74; available in women's sizes XS–XL and in 20 colors). This lightweight product is great for normal and dry complexions, but may not be the perfect fit for oily skin. Promising review: "So happy I finally found something that covers my rosy cheeks, blemishes, and large pores. I have combination skin: an oily T-zone but overall dry skin, and it works for my skin. The best part is that it has SPF 30 in it. My dermatologist does not stop stressing the importance of daily use of SPF on the face, so now I'm happy I can still cover up my pimples and protect my skin from harsh UV rays from the sun. It doesn't feel heavy on my face and doesn't make it look like I caked on a pound of foundation. I have used it for about three weeks already and have not noticed an increase in pimples or skin irritation." —Davis Promising review: "These have been my go-to pants since I received them! They look quite chic and tasteful. Love." —Vignesh n. Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, in long and short lengths, and in 28 colors). Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I bought one for all the people in my family! You clip the soft roll onto the top of your head and then continue to wrap strands of damp, wet hair in a spiral formation, wrapping away from your face. Secure the bottoms with soft scrunchies and you'll have gorgeous curls for days, LITERALLY. Takes a whopping five minutes if you have thick hair like mine. Sleep with it overnight (not uncomfortable at all), and your curls will actually last for days. So simple, so awesome, so much time saved. Can't recommend enough!" —Kaitlin Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in seven colors). Promising review: "It’s been feeling like 100 degrees this summer, and when I have to run errands, I don’t want to be dripping sweat in a bra, shirt, AND shorts. I love this because everything is built in, the bra, shorts, and the dress are so cute! Keeps me cool and I feel confident in it! Perfect for a hot day." —Jess Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and in 10 colors). Promising review: "I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spent too much time getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke, so I did it again, and then again. I just ordered two more packs because I know if I lose one of these, I'd have to tear the house down looking for it. I have hair to my mid-back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in a bun in under 30 seconds, trust me... anyone can." —Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.50. Promising review: "Don’t hesitate, just buy it. I bought it in one color, and as soon as I tried it on, I purchased three more. The material is like butter. It doesn’t have a built-in bra, but it’s lined. You could put on a bra with this if you’d like, but there’s no need. It’s cropped but still long enough that it doesn’t roll up weirdly at the bottom. Can dress this up or down! I’ll probably end up buying every color by the end of the year, it’s just that incredible." —Danijtate Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors). Promising review: "I love this stuff! It was recommended to me in a Facebook group when I asked for a one-and-done face cream for someone who doesn't really wear makeup. I wanted dewy, I wanted some light refraction, I wanted sun protection, and I didn't want heavy color. This is all those things. It works really well in the Florida sun. I'm covered in freckles, and it doesn't dull or smudge them, it just brightens everything. I don't wear face makeup, other than the occasional swipe of bronzer, and this works great with that. Love it love it love it." —KristenB Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in four shades and three sizes). Promising review: "Love this more than I anticipated. I'm very picky and usually only shop for clothing at Nordstrom, Neiman, or other boutique brands, and for the price, this is 100% worth it. It's lined, and the quality is great. Will be buying again." —Valerie R. Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors). Promising review: "I have super fine hair with lots of breakage, and no matter how I put my hair up, I have bad flyaways. This stuff is great! So easy and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hairspray." —Jill Stilfield BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they want to! Check out "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review: "Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used, and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and non-greasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" —Seabea2013 To learn more, check out "I Tested 10 TikTok Fashion Hacks".

It honestly is the most amazing eye makeup product I own at the moment. It is as easy as it sounds. Literally. I like that it is double-ended and you have two pens: one for the left eye and one for the right. The opposite end on both is just every day liquid liner pen, but it goes on soooo much smoother than any other liquid liner I've tried or owned." —Heather Olsen Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes). And don't panic! This tool is super gentle, so you don't have to worry about accidental nicks and scrapes. Promising review: "This is a 100% painless and incredibly easy alternative to waxing or plucking. A few quick swipes get rid of peach fuzz, and I never have to worry about breaking out because of it. Also, it doesn't make hair grow back coarser or darker." —Ellen R. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94 (also available in a pack of nine). This brush has a welt surface, nylon bristles, an arched half-circle brush, and a protruding brush that lets you clean different kinds of suede with no harsh rubbing or scrubbing required. Promising review: "I was amazed. After spending about five minutes cleaning suede boots with fairly significant smudges, they came out almost completely clean and are looking really good." —Beth Perkins Use this only once a week (for about three minutes at a time) to prevent your hair from turning a slightly lavender shade. Promising review: "Finally! A purple shampoo that actually does something to my brassy hair! I have silver-white hair that is exceptionally hard to maintain due to how easily my hair gains brassy tones and how stubborn they are to remove. I've tried a ton of other brands, and none of their toning shampoos will do a damn thing to my hair even if I leave them on for an hour. I normally have to dilute violet direct dyes to make a dent in my brass. It's nice not to have to schedule a chunk of time to mix a batch of custom toner, painstakingly apply it, and then sit around for an hour while it does its stuff. This shampoo actually works really well and can cut a lot of time out of my bi-weekly color maintenance." —Audrey Get it from Amazon for $18.78+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "Love the fabric, it’s very lightweight. Exactly what I was looking for. Fits great, a little bit long on me, but I am very short. Great for Florida summers." —Veronica G. Get it from Amazon for $18.60 (available in women's sizes XS–6X and eight colors). Promising review: "I can't remember who first told me about this lip oil, but it seemed like the perfect solution to my multi-year search of trying to find a lip product that enhanced my natural lip color while keeping my lips moisturized. It's not too sticky and lasts longer than a typical gloss. It's a fairly small bottle, but that also makes it great to keep in a wristlet. The appleberry is also sheer enough to pair over a lip crayon or lip liner." —Sammi Cone Get it from Amazon for $15 (available in 10 colors and also in two-packs). Promising review: "I live in these skirts!! This is the third one I've bought, each one a different color, and I can be sure that I will be buying more. I literally live in these skirts nearly every day. They are so easy to dress up, wear casually, or dress them up for cosplay!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 15 colors). Promising review: "I have two sets from Free People. At $130, they are a splurge, but I fell in love with them. I wanted more colors and couldn’t justify it, so I’m so glad I gave this set a try. This Amazon one is definitely thinner, but I really like the fabric of this one too, and it’s perfect for fall and winter in Texas. I love being comfy and still looking somewhat put together in this." —Lily McAninch Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and in 12 colors). Promising review: "This is the most reasonably priced curly hair product I've found. I originally got a little tube from my Ipsy order, and I liked it so much, I came to Amazon to order a full-sized bottle. It doesn't make my hair crunchy or greasy, even if I accidentally put too much on. My curls look natural and bouncy after using my diffuser, and even when I let my hair air dry, this gives my curls a little extra form and structure to look like I actually did something to my hair." —sbgoodgirl Get it from Amazon for $11.49+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "So incredibly happy with this. It's incredibly easy to apply (I have to really wipe my wand first, though, or else it's too thick), and the color blends in SO well with my natural color. It gives my eyebrows JUST the right amount of attention; not too much, not too little. Just killer, natural, beautiful brows!" —Monique French Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in six shades). Promising review: "I love this set, it's so versatile. You can wear the pieces separately or together and dress them up or down. I loved the set so much that I got both navy blue and army green, and they mix and match perfectly. JUST GET IT!!!" —Kristine Z. Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "I haven’t worn another bra since I got this and I’m gonna buy, like, five more. I am a 34F/G and I’ve never found any bralette that fits me (always either too big in the band or too small in the cup). I got a medium and I’m SHOCKED to report that not only do my girls actually fit inside (the fabric has a lot of stretch), but it actually holds them up pretty well." —Lily Housh Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in women's sizes S–3X and in four colors).
