Promising review: "I bought this before I was gifted the Dorsey necklace and they are almost identical. If you don’t want to spend $$$ on the Dorsey necklace, this is a great option." —Bianca Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and three other styles). My coworker Emma Lord has and loves this: "I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six "almost" versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!" Promising review: "Love this! Adds just a touch of color, which is what I wanted, and is nicely moisturizing, too." —Joan Modisette Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five shades). Promising review: "If you’re looking for a cute Band-Aid that has flexible fabric, these are it! I only use flexible fabric Band-Aids because they’re way more comfortable and stay on better. Bonus that these are a cute design!" —Jessica Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $3.77. Good Molecules is a small business that specializes in affordable skincare products. Promising reviews: "I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don’t have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly, I love all the Good Molecules products." —Hayden Smith "This right here is the real deal! You can see immediate results! It firms and moisturizes my eye lids! A must-have!" —Nancy A. Borkowski Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch satin pillowcase in action. Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" —Amazon Customer 🌷 Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and 23 styles). BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord adores these, "I own a ton of these in different colors now because it is SO easy to comfortably secure my hair in them, and they're so strong that the hold lasts all day. People are always asking me where I got mine — it's such a sweet little subtle touch to an outfit!" Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99 (available in eight sets). Loryn Brantz is a former BuzzFeeder, mom-of-two, and currently works with Ms. Rachel! She's absolutely brilliant in this book (and all of her others, my kids love Blanket) and totally nails what it's like to be a parent in 2025. I can open any page in this and giggle or tear up — each poem is relatable but unique. I keep it on my desk for when I need a quick pick-me-up and plan to buy it for my closest mom friends for Mother's Day. Promising review: "This book moved me deeply. It echoed so many of my own thoughts and experiences in such a tender, thoughtful way. Some poems made me laugh, others brought me to tears—but all of them reminded me of the rich, messy, wonderful humanity of parenting. A true gem that I’ll revisit often." —Mariah Menzie Promising review: "Absolutely love this cuticle oil. I operate heavy machinery for a living, and even wearing gloves all the time, my hands, especially cuticles, dry out and crack and hurt. This oil only takes a little to go a long way. I got the 🍍 and it smells great. Most importantly, I have noticed a change in just a few short days. I first found out about the product because my nail salon uses it for every mani!" —Alicia S. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 30 scents). Promising review: "I also ordered one of those book lights that you have to clip directly on to your book. I haven't even tried the clip-on yet because I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!! It's so versatile. It is the perfect solution for when I'm up in the middle of the night and I still want to stay in bed and read while my husband sleeps next to me. Even when I don't have to worry about disturbing someone this light is still my go to when reading. It's better than any night stand lamp because you can focus this light directly on your book or other types of hands-on projects. I had worried that it would be uncomfortable around my neck but It's so lightweight I hardly even notice it" —Linda Holloway Get it from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in eight styles). Promising review: "If you constantly get pint sized ice creams, you GOTTA get this!! I always hated how cold and numb my hands got when holding my pint and this is absolutely perfect and SUPER cute. " —Cora Ranjel Get it from Amazon for $6.40 (available in two sizes and over 50 prints). Promising review: "I loved this candle warmer! I love that it has different functions, even a timer to set how long you want it on. The lights are super cool, too, and you don’t get that smoky smell when you blow out a candle. Definitely obsessed!" —Laura Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in two styles). Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Also! Fullstar is a small business! Promising reviews: "I use this almost every day. It cuts all kinds of veggies and cleans up easily. It's sharp enough to do baby carrots without much effort. For the price, it is worth it." —Carol Habas Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). Promising review: "This eyeshadow glides on so smoothly, is super cute and sparkly, and does the job. You do not need to be a makeup pro to use this product and make it look good on your own skin. It is easy to blend, perfectly pigmented, and convenient to carry around in your purse. The price point is great, and I highly recommend this product if you’re looking for a new, easy-to-use eyeshadow stick." —Sho Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in 45 shades). BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly owns and loves this bag! She said, "I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. This was the only purse I brought for the whole trip and it performed its job flawlessly. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents. Having my hands free was wildly convenient for a number of reasons, including crawling around inside of an ice cave and putting out my hands for some extra balance while walking on sheets of ice along cliffs. Oh, and it comes in so so SO many colors." Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it’s true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can’t beat it." —Jolie Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 45 colors). These sunglasses feature anti-glare lenses that block 99.99% of UVA and UVB radiation. Promising review: "This is actually the first time I decided to buy sunglasses online without trying them first, but honestly, it was a great decision. They look exactly like in the pictures and did fit perfectly. Worked great during my trip to Puerto Rico, so def would buy again." —Marta Get them from Amazon for $13.99 (available in 13 styles). Reviewers have compared this perfume to the delectable scents of waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar (gasp!). Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." —Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in two styles). Promising review: "Gorgeous artificial flowers!! Perfect for those of us who are allergy-riddled floral enthusiasts. I use them for seasonal and holiday decorating, as well as homemade gifts for my family and friends. I love the careful attention to detail, particularly how random leaves appear to have 'dirt' as if freshly picked right from the garden. Really appreciate a quality allergy-free floral option." —Jen M Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sets of 20, 28, or 60 and in tons of color combos). Promising review: "This is exactly like the picture! I wanted a vase to hold my Lego flowers and it is so perfect!!" —Megan Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in 11 styles). Promising review: "Amazingly comfortable. I was very skeptical when I bought this pair of heels. I thought I had to return them as they might not be comfortable. I have wide feet, so I thought they might not work, but I want to try it. Wowww!!! They blew my mind, and they are very comfortable. I ordered size 8.5, and they fit me well, especially my wide feet. They’re adorable and very comfortable. The material might not last me for years, but it gave me a beachy feeling, which I love. I totally recommend these shoes. They don’t hurt my feet at all." —Amazon Customer Get them from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–11 regular and wide and in 25 styles). You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. Promising review: "Simple to use and cheaper than that other brand. This is about the best tasting coffee I have ever made at home. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Portable." —Alex Bonick Check out a TikTok of the strawberry candles in action. Promising review: "These are just the cutest little candles and ever so summery! Their size, appearance, and scent are just like real strawberries. Perfect as little take-home favors or decorations for a backyard picnic!" —M. Milton Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.49 (available in red and pink). And if you don't already have it, check out The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game. Promising review: "For fans of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this is a must-have. This book is so useful for finding secrets, passing levels, getting new things, etc. For me, it has been totally worth buying the book and even more with the hardcover since it has a texture on it. The quality is very good, and it has excellent images and information about the game." —mrnalarcon11 I wore this in Deep Blue to see Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and anyone who is *in the know* will understand just how much thought goes into choosing an outfit for that occasion. I originally was going to go channel "Lavender Haze" with my sister in this top (pictured, left) that is very similar but a little more low cut (my sister wore it instead!). I went with a Midnights x Folklore vibe (IYKYK), and this shirt was exactly what I needed to pair with my cardigan. The material felt almost bathing suit–like and was super stretchy (excellent for anyone who, like me, is rather busty). I liked that I could wear a bralette with it and that it wasn't see-through. Promising review: 'You know that TikTok sound that goes 'If I like it, I'll just grab it in another color. If I like it, and they have another color, I'll just grab it, and so on. That was written about this top. It's so comfortable, and I can confidently wear it sans-bra (I'm a 34F for reference, so that is a BIG deal for me - it never happens!). Consider every other color grabbed!" —Meghan J Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2XL and 26 colors). I have these and use them to blend my concealer — they work great, are easy to clean, and come with enough in the pack that I had zero hesitation giving my mom keep one for herself. Promising review: "I’m a professional makeup artist and I can seriously tell you I will never switch again! These sponges are by far better than the leading brands like Beauty Blenders, Real Techniques etc. They are not stiff which makes the makeup apply beautifully and seamlessly. My favorite way to use them is to wet them and wring them out. Order them ASAP! You won’t regret it :)" —Mabel Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95. BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower is a big fan! She said, "This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! All the wild customer images sold me (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic." Promising review: "I have to be honest, for a 'cheap' three-pack mascara, I did NOT have high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much." —Liz Get it from Amazon for $4.97 (also available in a three-pack). See it in action on BuzzFeed Shopping's TikTok! Promising review: "Here’s the thing. A scrub is never going to solve your blackhead issues long term. But there is truly no other product like this. It’s an amazing quick fix to get your pores unclogged and less noticeable, and once you’ve done that, slap on some retinol/salicylic acid with a moisturizer. Adorable packaging, unique product, and effective!" —Molly Perilogics is a small business creating hyper-functional tool holsters and bags for carrying your stuff on-the-go. Promising review: "I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long haul trip, and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I use it a lot outside of travel, too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards, and it turned into a versatile stand that I could place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far, it still feels solid, and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" —Earendil Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in a bunch of colors and packs of two). Promising review: "How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase, and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent, and the sauce cups clip easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.) Ya know, you end up squeezing the sauce onto the wrapper that's balanced on your lap and you end up getting some sauce on your steering wheel. OR you try the whole 'wrapper and sauce on the passenger seat and try to dip while watching the road,' which usually doesn't turn out so great." —Pleasure Pamela Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and sets of four, six, and 10). Promising review: "So I’ll admit I got this on a whim after a TikTok video, however I’m in love with this thing! It’s so much fun to use and you make your at home drinks feel so much more special. It’s easy to use and froths pretty quickly if you’re on the fence I’d say what are you waiting for buy it already!" —Denise Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 45 styles). Promising review: "I have tried a few of their perfumes but it never really smelled that great on me. I tried this one and I am 110% in love with this smell! I get so many compliments and people asking what I am wearing! This will be my go to spray!! 💜" —Ashley Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in 10 scents and two sizes). Promising review: "I am so happy with my purchase. It keeps the sun out and makes me smile whenever I see it in my window. 😂 5/5 recommended!" —Stephanie The headphones connect via Bluetooth and have 33 feet of wireless range (meaning your phone doesn't have to be right next to you). The controls are on the forehead, which makes it comfortable for back and side sleepers, and they are made to block out ambient noise. Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and since I have so much trouble finding quality headphones I decided to try it. I’m very happy with the sound quality and comfort of these. I’m able to fall asleep to my music or podcast without having to limit myself to sleeping on my back or losing an ear bud in my bed in the middle of the night. It makes working out easier as well. The value is worth the quality. I would recommend." —Thunder Muffin Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 17 colors). Wonderskin is a small business specializing in cosmetic and skincare products. Promising reviews: "I kept seeing Wonder Blading Lip videos on my TikTok. Went to Sephora and couldn’t believe they didn’t have it. Wound up buying it on Amazon and loving it!" —PM "I didn’t know what to expect when I received this product, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised! I absolutely love it! I put it on as soon as it arrived. I kept it on for almost a minute and when I wiped it off with a damp cotton ball, the color was beautiful. It’s true to its word about the 12-hour staying power. I put a little lip balm over it and enjoyed eating, drinking, and talking. It didn’t come off! If you like lip stain? Get this product! It’s a keeper. I will be ordering all of the shades." —Brandy Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in 17 shades). This set comes with The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook, The Unofficial Disney Parks EPCOT Cookbook and The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook. Promising review: "We like going to the Disney parks, and one of the things we try to do is figure out the different dishes we get at the sit-down restaurants. While most of them are pretty easy to figure out, some of them are not. These books help us go a long way to recreating some of our favorites. It's a fun read." —RocketTom For more recipes, check out The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book and the latest addition The Unofficial Disney Parks Holidays Cookbook. I took the plunge and ordered this lil' kit and it was SO easy to use. My first attempt (pictured above) took literally two seconds to do. My bread was on the smaller side, but it still produced a perfect crust-less PB&J! Promising review: "These have been a GAME CHANGER in this house!! My son has always begged me for Uncrustables but my wallet didn’t agree with them. I LOVE being able to make them at home and customize them to exactly what they would like them filled with! I make two weeks' worth of sandwiches at a time and store them in sandwich bags in the freezer so in the morning during the school year we can just grab and go! Love them!" —Katherine Smaczniak You can also grab markers, crayons, or colored pencils to go along with it. Promising review: "The coloring book is sturdy and well constructed. Pages are thick enough to accommodate crayons or water colors." —J.L. Ross Promising reviews: "These little critters are awesome! I like using them on the edge of my tea cup when I make hot tea. I just wrap the teabag string around the snail and it keeps everything from falling back into my tea. I like that each one has a different color and I keep them all handy to grab." —KA7DRE Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
