Promising review: "Love love this product. Been buying for years. Glides on so easily with the glove, and the tan lasts 4–5 days. I'll continue buying this since I can't lay out any more due to health issues. I get the color I want with Fake Bake." —Deborah Goodison

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Melanie Aman highly recommends this. Check out her Dove hair repair mask review!

Promising review: "I have very long, fine hair. It’s past my waist. My ends can get very dry. I love this hair mask. It works. The first time I used it, I was sold. It made a noticeable difference in the texture of the ends of my hair. I don’t see me needing a trim anytime soon. I don’t need to use much. My hair soaks it up every time. I like the scent. This doesn’t weigh my hair down. It leaves my hair very soft, shiny, and manageable." —FlyingSnow

This kit comes with three gel nail polishes, an LED lamp, a base gel, a top gel, a cuticle pusher and nail buffer, three nail files, two toe separators, and a bottle of cuticle oil.

Promising review: "I’m very happy with my gel nail set. These colors are very beautiful and I love making my nails look very close to how they’d normally look after spending $50 on a gel manicure." —Cynthia L

Promising review: "I rarely write product reviews, but I feel compelled to explain why this is a great product. I am an older man who has struggled with fingernail biting my entire life. Opi Nail Envy really helps! 1. It is true matte with a barely noticeable shine. I am old-fashioned and would never use a shiny polish. I have tried several other brands that claimed to be matte, but they all had a little shine. 2. Opi Nail Envy not only strengthens my nails — it accelerates the healing of my cuticles and skin around my cuticles. 3. IMPORTANT: Be aware of the formula! This is a vegan formula. There is another formula, Opi Nail Envy Original Formula. I tried some, and it triggered a severe allergic reaction on my cuticles and skin. I switched back to the Vegan formula, and it healed the skin quickly. I wish I had discovered this product 50 years ago. It would have prevented a lot of embarrassment about my nails." —Stephen Bell

Promising reviews: "Great stuff! Better results than a pedicure in a salon." —bg

"Do not hesitate to try this product if you have hard skin on your feet. It takes a few days to see a difference, but now I can see a change. Just like that, the skin on my pinky toe is not rock solid anymore. Bye bye, pain — and I am not joking." —Majda

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jasmin Sandal raves, "Folks, after just one treatment with this hardworking gel, I can report my feet are as soft as a baby's bum! Seriously. It literally reset my hard, calloused skin, and now I barely even recognize the toes that are wiggling before me! I honestly can't believe I had gone so long just suffering with unsightly calluses. So if you have tough, hard skin that you've vowed is beyond repair, do yourself a favor and add this to your cart. Oh, and for spa-worthy results, use a pumice stone first and always wear gloves when applying the gel."

Promising reviews: "The dead skin comes off effortlessly, leaving feet soft, hydrated, and super smooth — like a professional spa pedicure!" —Sahily Ojeda Feria

"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker

Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three scents).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this electric eyelash-curler because it heats up so quickly and is incredibly easy to use. In just a few seconds, it lifts my lashes and gives them a natural look, without pulling or pinching them like traditional curlers.

"The silicone pad helps to distribute the heat gently, and the curl lasts for hours, even after applying mascara. Plus, it's rechargeable via USB-C, and its compact size makes it perfect for carrying in your purse. Very practical and it lives up to its promises." —Angie c Martinez

Promising review: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Tweexy! It used to take me FOREVER to polish my nails. I COULD NOT believe how quickly I got this done!! I used to hate polishing my nails, but I don't anymore. I also used to make the biggest mess, but not anymore!" —Eve Lee Murray

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 11 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "I don’t know how I managed to paint my toenails for so long without these! They are simply perfect. They are easy to get in place between my toes, are good quality, plenty comfortable, not sticky or gross, and come in very cute colors. They do the job without any effort from me. They stay in place and don’t fall out. Best of all, they are quite affordable." —Bon

Get it from Amazon for $7.19 (available in 10 other styles/colors).

Promising review: "I don't normally write reviews, but OMG. This thing has earned a glowing review!!! My hair is curly and tends to get frizzy. I have tried so many things to get my hair to look like it does when I leave the salon, but I could not find anything that came close...until now. This dryer brush is AH-MAZING!!! Super easy to use and my hair comes out smooth, sleek, bouncy with lots of movement, and is super silky and soft. This styling tool is a total game-changer. I have been so frustrated because I want to have that 'put-together' look and just haven't been able to achieve it at home before the L'Ange. If you're sitting on the fence, take the leap and buy it! You won't be disappointed." —Judy B

Promising review: "Who doesn't love this serum? I have been using it for two decades. I have dry, coarse hair that is thick and naturally curly. So imagine that in the summer heat and humidity. This smoothes my hair and prevents frizz. It also protects from the heat of straighteners and the blow dryer. It smells so good, and I get compliments all of the time when someone hugs me and smells my hair." —Gloria Dolan

Get it from Amazon for $10.50+ (available in three sizes).

Solawave is an LGBTQ-owned small biz based in Los Angeles. 

BuzzFeed writer Amanda Davis loves this wand:

"This. gadget. is. worth it! 👏🏾 Using the Solawave was my first time introducing red light therapy into my skincare routine and the difference in my hyperpigmentation is honestly mind blowing. The tone of my face is much more even and the dark circles around my eyes have nearly disappeared. Essentially, it's like a mix of a jade roller (which I already love using anyway) and an LED mask in one...with microcurrent/vibration therapy, too. You can apply the specific Solawave activating serum or any conductive gel of your choice (I use a different one, myself!) and it will really absorb the benefits when used with the wand. I only use it once every other day (at night) and it's super relaxing. My skin is always ✨glowing✨ the next day!"

Billion Dollar Brows is a small business that specializes in beauty products. 

Promising review: "I have found a new eyebrow enhancer powder! I’m blonde, and my eyebrows don’t show up very well. I have tried a lot of colors and products, but the rich, soft color of this one beats them all. Easily glides on, covers my gray brow hairs, and helps my eyebrows frame my face. And this one stays on all day until I wash it off! Well worth the price and the quality surprised me!!" —Pammer

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four shades and multipacks). 

Promising reviews: "This brow glue holds really well without making brows feel stiff or crunchy. It’s easy to apply and works great for a natural or laminated look." —Demian Solis

"If you like feathery soap brows, this product is for you! Less is more! Cute packaging and the price blows my mind. Much better than Patrick Ta Major Brow Shaping Wax and about $30 cheaper!" —ShellBell :)

Promising review: "After my last pregnancy, I started developing cystic acne; my skin was congested with oil, whiteheads, blackheads, you name it. All those years of desperately doing my own extractions, trying every mask, cleanser, device, my skin was left scarred and discolored. I hated the texture of my skin. I impulsively bought this and tried it the day it was delivered. I was amazed at how well it extracted all the gunk I could and couldn't see lurking under my skin. I use it every night to cleanse, then apply my serum and moisturizer. I took the first set of photos on 5/27 and still didn't love how my skin looked under makeup. I could tell it was doing something though so I stuck with it. Three days later, I woke up in shock! Took the second set of photos wearing the same makeup (but needed much less). I am finally happy with the way my skin looks and posted a selfie without a filter for the first time since I can remember! Just try it! (All photos were taken in natural light. Must've gotten some cloud cover in the last one. No filters on ANY of them! I'm still in shock!)" —Marlena H.

Ella+Mila is a small business specializing in nail care!

Promising review: "The oil works wonderfully on dry cuticles. After just a few applications, I noticed my cuticles were significantly softer and more moisturized. The formula absorbs relatively quickly without leaving an overly greasy residue." —Debora

Good Dye Young is a woman-owned small business. In fact, that woman is Hayley Williams, lead singer of the Grammy Award-winning band Paramore.

Promising review: "The best pink hair dye I've ever used. I've tried multiple brands' pink dyes and the same results each time — it would wash out and fade very fast and become a very ugly orangy pink color. Not only does this one last, it BARELY fades." —Amber

All at-home laser hair removal devices like this one work *only* for people with light skin tones and dark hair. Read more at Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "Best purchase of my life! I’ve noticed a huge difference with me using this for like a month and my god how the hair growth slowed down sooooo much! No more bleaching, hardly need to pluck the hair or even shave. I also read one of the reviews saying you can do it twice a week to see the results faster and I went ahead and did that. Like I said, within a month I noticed the difference. Now my mom is even asking to borrow this hair laser removal." —WastefulTv

Promising reviews: "One of the few beauty products that made an instant, noticeable difference in my skin. After just two uses, I could tell my face was brighter, and my pores seemed smaller, especially on my nose. I imagine I'll be using these for a long time. I'm 44." —edoug

"I bought these pads on a whim to try to brighten my 50+-year-old skin, and they do, but that’s not why I’m thrilled. I have mild to moderate sebaceous hyperplasia — those clogged oil glands that look like acne but have a donut hole-like divot and that just get angry if you squeeze them — mostly on my forehead. Nothing truly gets rid of these bumps except for cauterizing them or freezing them at a dermatologist’s office, and I’m procrastinating doing that because there’s a risk of scarring with that type of treatment. Well, the morning after I used my first zero pore pad, those bumps shrank and flattened! They’re still there but are probably 50% less obvious, which is a huge win to me. No idea what this witchcraft is, but I have never had a skincare product work so immediately and so obviously. It’s only been a week, but so far, so good. I have to say…I am a convert!" —Carla Coleman

Check out my colleague Chelsea Stuart's Medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Mask review. 

Promising review: "I’ve tried tons of Korean skincare products, but the Medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Mask is easily one of the most effective overnight treatments I’ve used. From the very first night, I noticed a visible difference in hydration and skin texture — I woke up with skin that felt plumper, firmer, and more radiant. The formula applies smoothly and dries down into a light, flexible peel-off film, which helps lock in moisture and collagen while you sleep. It doesn’t feel sticky or tight, and it’s comfortable enough to wear through the night. Peeling it off in the morning is super satisfying, and it leaves no residue behind. What sets this mask apart is the hydrolyzed collagen — it really helps improve skin elasticity and reduce that dull, tired look. After consistent use, my jawline looks more defined, and my skin has a healthy, dewy bounce. It’s like a mini spa treatment in a tube! If you’re struggling with sagging, dryness, or dullness, this product is absolutely worth trying. It’s gentle, effective, and fits seamlessly into a nighttime routine. Plus, it feels luxurious without the high-end price tag. K-Beauty does it again! Highly recommend for anyone looking to restore glow, firmness, and hydration overnight." —NASHA MAY

After rinsing both shampoo and conditioner, apply this mask on damp hair from lengths to tips. Leave on for five minutes, then rinse.

Promising reviews: "Liquid gold. I loveeee this product! It is so affordable and works like magic!!! It feels like I just got my hair done each time I use it! Such a self-esteem booster! It is so nice to do this for five minutes in the shower, and it just lifts your mood and makes you feel so much more put together once you are out of the shower! I highly recommend!" —Annalisa Kampel

"I have 3c curly frizzy hair, and previous glossing treatments didn’t do anything, so I didn’t have high expectations. I was super surprised that my curls appeared glossier and were reflecting light after using this. It didn’t do much for the frizz, but it’s not meant to. It’s also super easy to use!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Before, I always had to be very careful with small areas when shaving. After using this spray, the hair became softer and the shaving process was smoother. The spray is designed to accurately identify facial hair and reduce over-shaving. After using it, my skin did not experience any allergies or irritation. It felt very refreshing. I highly recommend it! Very happy with this purchase!" —Bobby Alexander

What even is an ingrown hair, and how/why do we get them? Basically, they occur when hair that's been shaved, waxed, or plucked starts to grow back and curves into the skin, causing small, swollen bumps. Check out this explainer video for more info!

You'll get two adjustable comb attachments that allow you to trim from 2–12 mm, so you can customize to your desired length. Honestly, this waterproof trimmer might just be "a freaking dream come true!!"

Promising reviews: "OMG, this really did an amazing job on my downstairs area! Smooth, clean, and zero razor bumps or ingrown hairs!" —Bobby Nott III

"Just what I was looking for! Not just for men. ☺️ Love it. Armpits, groin, legs. And it keeps me from getting ingrown hairs from shaving with a razor, which I don’t anymore." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in two colors).

Promising reviews: "I don't usually write product reviews — it's just not worth my time. But in this case, it was worth it. This is fantastic. I've used so many products that offer automatic curls (like the Chi), and this beats all of them." —H. Brown

"This has truly upgraded my everyday look; I feel more polished and put-together without spending a lot of time or money at a salon. It’s also very gentle on my hair and doesn’t seem to cause damage with regular use." —JayDee

Get it from Amazon for $56.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

Promising review: "I kept seeing this advertised and thought it can't work that well on my hair. My hair is long, thick and curly and it would take me at least an hour using my old straightener. Well, I was wrong! This little baby makes it easy and quick to straighten it now. The first time I used it I was astounded! It really works beautifully and the clips that come with it are truly helpful. I don't use the glove or the little oval brush it came with though.  Don't hesitate or you will regret never getting one! Definitely worth every penny!" —3dogmama

Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this purple shampoo! I have dyed blonde hair, and it keeps the color looking fresh and bright while canceling out any brassy tones. It lathers nicely, smells good, and I love that it’s sulfate free, so it doesn’t strip my color. I use it a couple of times a week with conditioner, and my hair stays soft, shiny, and salon-fresh. Highly recommend for anyone with color-treated hair!" —Kelky

The razor has two edges, a fine tooth one for thin hair textures, and a wider one for thicker hair textures.

Promising reviews: "I can't believe how well this little thing works! That's really all that needs to be said except 'go ahead buy one!' :)" —Brieli

"I recently cut my hair very short. It grows really fast and I didn't realize how tough and pricey the maintenance would be. So I bought this after watching a YouTube video of a girl using it on her pixie cut. Now, I absolutely love this tool and use it once a week! I have used it to add layers, to trim my hair and to thin it out. It allows me to only need a professional haircut every three months, if that. I can't believe the price for this tool. It's really fantastic. I have already recommended it to anyone else who has a short cut or needs to thin out their hair regularly." —CH47

Promising review: "These work miracles for my very active hands. I wash my hands often, am always washing dishes, and use hand sanitizer several times a day. These repair my hands and nails, and the scent is so clean and fresh. These are a must-have for me. I use them all year round, but every other day in the winter. I even give them out to friends and family to try. Seriously love them. Great quality, easy to use, a staple for me." —Kelly Smith

But don't feel pressure to hide your grays, you silver fox!

Promising review: "Lightweight and great coverage on gray/white roots. I bought dark blonde, and it's more of a light brown, but it works well with my highlights/lowlights. I’m horrible about getting my hair done every two months. I usually go 4–5 months between colorings to save time and money. I’m 49 and have about two inches of gray growth on each side of my part, so it‘s actually four inches of gray roots on the top of my head. As long as you don’t spray too close, then it doesn’t get heavy or sticky. I highly recommend this product." —Michelle D.

Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in 12 shades and also in a two-pack).

Promising reviews: "My hair never holds clips or barrettes, however these clips stayed put until I took them out and did not get tangled up. The tinsel has plenty of length and also has great colors. I bought the rainbow so I had lots of color." —Melody Chavez

"I was looking soooooo fine with this hair tinsel. Easy as pie to put in and they lasted the whole night. I didn’t even notice them! Best part? The next day I could go into the office without the rainbow and green shimmers in my hair!" —Alligator Jones

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 16 colors).

Promising reviews: "The smell is light and fresh and leaves my hair feeling nice and clean and not too dry. Salon-quality product for drugstore prices." —Mindy

"I really like this shampoo. It’s not overly scented like some clarifying shampoos can be, and it makes my scalp feel so clean without drying my (already dry) hair out. Def recommend this. This is a good brand of shampoo all around. I tried the one for dry hair, and it smells so good and makes my hair really soft." —Abigail

Promising review: "This product was very easy to use and my hair actually curled! My hair is naturally very straight and fine, and I am allergic to most hair products so I try and avoid using any. I ran a wet hair brush through my hair to dampen, rolled each hair strand around two of the vertical strips, rolled up, and used the provided hair ties to tie each strand up. The next morning I ran my fingers through my hair and I was done! It is fast, easy, and the final result exceeded my expectations." —Verona B.
