Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s. Promising review: "I love the way these layering necklaces look! I haven’t taken them off since I received them; they still look brand new. I’ve worn them in the shower, pools, and at the beach, and they are still perfect." —Allison Kwong Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in three finishes and 14 other styles). Promising review: "This top has quickly become one of my favorites. The fabric is incredibly soft, comfortable, and has just the right amount of stretch. The double-lined material provides great coverage without feeling bulky, and it lies nicely without being see-through. I also love the fit. It's pretty, easy to dress up or down, and pairs well with everything from shorts to jeans. Overall, this is a great basic top that feels much more expensive than it is. I'll definitely be ordering more colors." —Paige Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in sizes XXS–XL and 24 colors) Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down. Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." —Kaitlyn "This was purchased to add to my summer dresses. I recently bought one in brown and loved it. So I had to get it in this purple /lavender color. Material's just as good and thick, all while being form-fitting and going to my ankles. It's still breathable, and I could move around without worrying about anything coming loose. I love that even though it was a lighter color, you couldn't see what I was wearing underneath. Perfect. I receive compliments all the time in this dress, even from toddlers. They even know a great look when they see it. Haha. 😊" —Roxi Roxx Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XL). Promising review: "Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — it looked perfect with jeans too! My feet are not narrow, but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet that are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" —Mrs.D Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes 5.5–11). Promising reviews: "I have several pairs of Rothy’s in a very similar style to these, and they are actually just as comfortable right out of the box as Rothy’s…maybe more so. I also purchased it in black. LOVE THEM!!" —Amazon Customer "I couldn’t be happier with these flats! As a result of them dropping in price, I purchased four pairs in varying colors to wear with jeans and sweaters. Not only do they look cute, but they are also decently padded and comfortable. I have been buying Vivaia flats for over $100, and these look just as good and are more comfortable to wear." —PSK Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes 6–10 and 14 colors and patterns). Promising review: "I’m absolutely delighted with this long-sleeve top! The fit is impeccable, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own. The material is soft and offers just the right amount of stretch. It’s become a staple piece in my wardrobe because of its versatility — it pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans, skirts, and even office wear for a touch of modernity. After several washes, it maintains its shape and vibrant color. It’s rare to find such a quality top at this price point. This top has exceeded my expectations and has been a fantastic addition to my collection." —Ali Buraszeski Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes 3XS–3XL and in 40 colors). Promising review: "Most favorite hair clips! These just dress up anything you are wearing, but you don't have to fix your hair. I love the variety of sizes. The pearls are a beautiful shade of white, I get compliments every time I wear these." —Molly Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a smaller pack size). This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. I have been using this lip oil for two months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint. When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences! Promising review: "I love K-Beauty, and this is one of my favorite lip oils. It makes my lips softer and look cherry-plump. Plus, this shade acts as a lip tint, and I like how long it stays on my lips. At first, I thought that the bottle seemed small, but after applying it two to three times a day for a month, I still have a lot left to use. It moisturizes your lips and leaves a red tint on your lips, and it's lasted very long!" —Nhu Get it from Amazon for $14.82+ (available in 11 colors, two sizes, and in sets). Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the Nyx Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lip gloss. It’s always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." —Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in 18 shades). Promising review: "I can confidently say this bodysuit has been a game-changer in my wardrobe. This bodysuit combines comfort, support, and a seamless design to create remarkable shapewear. The versatility of this bodysuit is noteworthy. Whether I'm dressing up for a special occasion or looking for extra support in my everyday attire, this bodysuit seamlessly fits into my wardrobe. It's become a go-to choice for achieving a polished and refined look without sacrificing comfort." —Hannah Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes XXS—4XL and eight colors). Promising review: "I used traditional powder blushes daily up until purchasing this product. My skin is super dry and I didn't know I could have such a natural blush look until Cloud Paint! It really is easy to blend and builds up in color without much effort. The packaging is beautiful and is the perfect size to take anywhere with you. Please never stop making this blush!!!" —:~) Get it from Glossier for $24 (available in 15 shades). Check out BuzzFeed's full review of Glossier's Cloud Paint for more deets! Promising review: "I love these — they are so soft and comfy. The white is not see-through at all. I also got the coral, and it is beautiful." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and 37 colors) Promising review: "What's Gucci? Such a cute belt! I’ve been looking for a belt like this, but I’m very picky and couldn’t find one I loved. This one is perfect. It’s a staple that ties every outfit together so well. A very easy way to step up a simple outfit. It’s great quality for the price, and there’s no need to splurge on a designer belt. 10/10 would recommend." —Kelsey Danielle Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors). Promising review: "I have the kind of eyebrows that look very full with brushing, but can quickly look like one has 'collapsed' once my hair or something else touches it. I’ve used nearly every product from Anastasia Beverly Hills, but never had luck keeping my brows in place. Well, let me tell you, this stuff is no joke. I had to scrub my eyebrows clean tonight to get them to move. If you need some help holding your fluff, this will be your new favorite product. Also, I was able to ditch the eyebrow pencil since this stuff holds every hair in the place you brush it." —Bailey M, Deacon Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in a one- or two-piece set). Promising review: "I have always stayed away from foundation because I could never get the color right, it was thick, felt gross on my skin, then would look too heavy. THIS IS AMAZING! I will forever purchase this. It’s light, smooth, and matches my skin. It doesn’t cake into my fine lines and makes my skin look perfect. It’s creamy and soft and moisturizes my skin without it feeling sticky." —Ot Get it from Glossier for $30 (available in 12 shades). Wear it alone or as a base for your makeup! Check out this TikTok to see how it looks being applied! Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this product. I have fair skin but I use the deep shade anyway and it makes me look like I have a glowing tan. I get compliments every time I wear it. It is sparkly but subtle. If you don’t have time for a full face of makeup, this really pulls it together with just this one product — the sparkle adds a highlight effect and the tone warms up my complexion. Of course you can wear it as part of full makeup too. I will never go without this product again! Please make it forever!" —Elana Get it from Amazon for $13.62+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "I have a lot of hair. A LOT. Like, wow, who is that Wookiee over there LOTS. I have looked into having a third arm surgically implanted because my shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I briefly considered making a workout video (“Toned Arms: the Hairdryer Workout”), but was informed by fitness people that there isn’t a market for a 75-minute focus on the anterior deltoids. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work. This thing took me eight minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband, in the next room, and in fact I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in eight minutes (several more minutes were lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror). If you struggle with an over abundance of hair like I do, seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try." —Chris Get it from Amazon for $44.95 (also available in pink!). To use, just gather your hair and twist it into a tight bun (no hair tie needed!), tuck in the ends, and spin the pins into the edges of your bun. Promising review: "When even a ponytail won't do and a hat isn't socially acceptable, pull out the spin pins. These are easy to carry in your purse for emergency hair days. They twist together/around each other so they stay kind of bundled together, and I keep them with several regular bobby pins to keep stray hairs tucked together. I find the minis are far more comfortable to wear as well as easier to get in the hair. You will still need a few pins to secure some random loose hairs if a PERFECT bun is your goal. But if you are like me and most days you just need your hair out of your face and off your neck-these are excellent since the bun stays put. Works beautifully under scrub caps as well." —Blondiechick Get three mini pins from Amazon for $7 (also available as a pack of two standard-sized pins). Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty, it's 100% a Swarovski lookalike for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters "I LOVE this bracelet!!! It looks so expensive and is heavy-duty. If you want a tennis bracelet without spending thousands of dollars, I HIGHLY recommend this!" —Gabby Little Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three lengths and four finishes, as well as in a set of two). Live Tinted is a woman-owned small business founded by entrepreneur Deepica Mutyala that specializes in clean, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products for all skin tones. Promising reviews: "I'll admit, I was totally skeptical of these Huesticks. I am 34 years old, of Sri Lankan descent (medium to deep tan skin), and I've NEVER been good at makeup. I was excited to try these Huesticks, made by and vouched for by a fellow South Asian, but was worried it would look like I was ACTUALLY wearing makeup. I was pleasantly surprised after using Rise under my eyes and around my mouth, blending with a Beautyblender, and then using the same amount of CC cream and powder foundation. You really still can't tell I'm wearing makeup. I even asked my BF if he could see the orange 'glow' under my eyes before I put on the CC cream, and he couldn't see it! It really was color correcting!" —Reviewer Get it from Ulta for $28 (available in five shades). One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye. The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty. Promising review: "I have very minimal makeup skills. I’m a loner, mascara and gloss kinda girl. I’ve been wanting to do a wing for so long, but with my limited makeup application talent and hooded eyes, it just wasn’t happening. This product changed the game. After trying out the placement a few times, I got it down pat. I love how I can get different looked depending on where I place the wing. I’m beyond satisfied." —Michelle Hopson Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three sizes and a combo pack). Promising review: "OK, this is an honest review. I was SUPER skeptical because I've always been a spray dry shampoo girly, and I thought I was going to die on that hill. We've all been there...in a pinch and out of our dry shampoo, and resorted to random powders and suffered the consequences, and had to end up washing out hair while already running late. I have super fine hair, and it gets oily in the blink of an eye — even six hours post-shower. I tried this product skeptically, but I am impressed! Literally three dabs and my hair is happy, shiny, and volumized as if I just used a blow dryer! No drowning myself in a Batiste cloud! I'm adding this to my routine forever." —Chloe Plummer Get it from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in eight shades). This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!! Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews for products, let alone add a photo of the results, but my gosh, this product is AMAZING. It was just after my first use, and I got immediate, satisfying results! Normally, I’d have to take a wand or curling iron to get this effect, but literally all I had to do with this product was take a shower and scrunch it into my hair, and just let it air dry. Not only did my natural waves come out, but my hair feels so soft and looks healthy. This product is also very cost-effective! Highly recommend!" —Carmina Get it from Amazon for $8.79 (also available as a two-pack). Promising review: "I am in love with this fluffy oversize soft sweater! It's like wearing a cozy hug all day long. The material is incredibly soft, and the oversize fit adds an extra level of comfort. It's perfect for chilly days, keeping me warm without sacrificing style. If you want to feel both comfy and chic, this sweater is a must-have for your wardrobe!" —The Park Hopper Diaries Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 styles). Promising review: "I was really hesitant about buying this but I LOVE it!! I got my regular size and it fit amazing! It is super stretchy and loose so it can cover all areas. I like pulling it up a little bit and having the top area loose. It doesn't slide off the shoulder but if you want it to, it could. I love everything about this item! It is cute, comfy, great fitting, and a staple for my summer!" —AC Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 31 colors/patterns). Promising review: "Exactly what I wanted and needed! Keeps my hair out of my face and in so many colors that will go with anything. Doesn’t slide off and not too tight." —Jojo96 Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in nine color varieties). * Don’t Have Time To Shop For Summer Clothing? Voila!
