We both know how long Clinique's Black Honey tinted lip balm has been on your mind — it's time to make it official. My coworker Emma Lord had this to say: "I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Anyway, watch this TikTok of someone using it on their lips AND cheeks, because I did and oops, this lipstick FELL into my cart." Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in three shades). This vegan, cruelty-free formula is hypoallergenic and free from parabens and phthalates! Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." —Dragonheart Jo Get it from Amazon for$9.97 (available in various scents, sizes, and in multipacks). Promising review: "Favorite beanie. Silk doesn't frizz or damage hair and very warm. Very soft and stretches to fit over hair. I'm sure would fit everybody. I wear it outside for my workouts during winter and it fits great and stays on. I got my favorite color green, very attractive and earthy. I've worn it two winters now and it hasn't faded or gotten worn out or damaged at all." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 11 colors). Promising review: "It really does feel good to get your toes spread apart. It is, in fact, therapeutic and relaxing. I'm happy and I think I may get some as gifts. They're easy to clean and pretty too! I am a tired mama and I will take all the self-care hacks I can get! Easy to put on. They also stay put even when doing little foot stretching movements like curling your toes." —Amazon Customer Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful, charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet onto them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, now my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, it pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers." —Renee Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." —1Thand Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "For demographic purposes: Female, 33-years-old. I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out. I've used very expensive creams, oils, and lotions but after four days I already see more results with this product. To make it even better, the scent is amazing! I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." —ChelseaK "I'm not sure what I love more the moisturizing or the scent and I did see a noticeable difference in my skin. This is now a must-have product for me!" —Rachel Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in four sizes and in bundle packs). Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like mine." —LuckLocust Promising review: "Omg, I absolutely love this clock. It’s modern and chic with great features. I love how the display light automatically dims at night. I purchased two colors, gold and white, to see which one would coordinate best with my nightstand. The gold is the winner! It matches perfectly with the satin brass finish of my lamp and drawer pulls." —FancytheFashionista Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in four colors/styles). Kitsch is a woman-owned accessory brand that was founded in 2010. They also sell cute scrunchies, cloth face masks, satin pillowcases, and more. Promising review: "I love it! I'm very happy with the thickness and how very soft it is. It does a good job getting the moisture out of my hair and dramatically cuts down my drying time. The size is very large, which I really like because I have long, thick hair, and it does a good job wrapping up without falling out. I will be purchasing a few more!" —Daniela Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in two colors/styles). Tech8 USA is a small biz based in Austin, Texas. Promising review: "A *must* if you're a remote worker. Like everyone else, I stumbled upon this product because of a TikTok I saw. Setup was extremely easy and I'm pleased to say that my Teams green light is on all the time now. Workers of the world, unite." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four styles). Promising review: "I love him. He is so cute and so well-made. He is the perfect size and shape. I named him Banana Peel Son since his wool comes off like a banana peel. Adorable. Would recommend to everyone." —Aerebys Stare Promising review: "I don't like to wear a ton of makeup, so this is a game changer! I have hereditary under-eye bags. This goes on so easily and you only need a little dab and it makes a world of a difference! Brighter eyes, and doesn't sit in creases. AND it's cheap!! Can't get much better than that! Must have!" —Cassie Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). Promising review: "This is so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece so no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily — it is honestly a game changer for my cooking game! And it is fun and cute, which makes me want to use it more! Will be getting these for stocking stuffers for all my adult kids this year for the holidays — definitely one of those things they didn't know they need!!" —Llamazon Customer Space Age Snacks is a small business that specializes in small batch freeze-dried candy. Promising review: "Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was pleasantly surprised. Skittles normally taste alright, but having them freeze-dried really made the flavors POP, and genuinely I feel like they had more flavor than normal Skittles. (Then again, that might just be my head playing it up knowing it's a first, who knows, who cares.) Very delicious." —John Blake Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (and check out the rest of their freeze-dried candy for more options). Read more about migraine treatments at Mayo Clinic. Y'ALL! I've been a chronic migraine sufferer for years so I was skeptical that this ice pack would be any better than others I've tried. Thankfully, I was wrong. It's not flimsy at all and has some good weight to it while still being super soft and flexible. In addition to 360-degree cold (or heat!) therapy, it also provides *gentle* compression that's wonderfully soothing when a headache hits. You can pull it all the way down to cover your eyes (🎶 hello darkness, my old friend 🎶) or push it slightly upward to sit on your forehead, which means you'll still be able to see and do things if needed. I also LOVE not having to balance an ice pack on my forehead while trying to get some relief. The included freezer bag keeps it nicely contained so it doesn't come out smelling like all the frozen foods it's stored with. Promising review: "I have suffered from migraines my entire life and I’m almost 50-years-old. As soon as I put this pack on my head I instantly felt relief from the five-day barometric pressure migraine I’ve had. The soft design was really nice and I love that it covered my whole head and was easy to put on. I recommend waiting a few minutes after taking it out of the freezer because it was really cold." —T. Promising review: "I wish I made this purchase sooner! This tissue box is chic and the perfect modern addition to any room. It’s well made, and I’ve had no issues with this product in five months. There’s a strap to secure the tissue box into the holder. Will definitely purchase more :)" —Liz Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in eight colors). It includes: a sushi bazooka, two sushi mats, a sushi knife and cutting mold, an avocado tool, five pairs of chopsticks, four chopstick holders, a rice paddle and spreader, two sauce dishes, and a silicone oil brush. It also comes with the molds and rollers needed to make all kinds of sushi, including temaki, gunkan, nigiri, musubi, and sushi balls. Promising review: "I have wanted to learn to make sushi at home for quite some time but was unsure what it entailed. This kit is complete and so easy to use that I was able to make great sushi the first time I tried it. The instructions are easy to understand. The inclusion of the cutting guide for the finished sushi roll allows you to produce beautiful and appealing sushi. The bazooka took a couple of tries to get the correct amount of rice, but it worked like a charm. I would suggest checking online for directions on preparing the rice properly, but otherwise, the included directions were complete. I loved this kit so much I am considering buying additional ones to give my family as gifts." —Denis Bekaert Promising review: "Best kitchen/hand towels I have found on Amazon yet. I get so many compliments on these!! Just bought some for my sister and mom, they love them so much. Soft and absorbent, just the right thickness, has some wear and tear after just a couple of months, but we use them daily and have washed and dried them a lot. Definitely worth the price." —Caitlin Get a set of four from Amazon for $22.99 (available in five color combos). Promising review: "I bought this for my husband who has very stained teeth regardless of how often he brushed! Blame the coffee and genetics. WHATEVER. These results are 30 minutes apart. He was skeptical but it WORKS! Would buy over and over again. I’m sold. Will definitely purchase when this runs out!" —Jessica Grant iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says: "I own a pair of these, and because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." Promising review: "I love LOVE these headphones. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, the sound is great, and the noise cancellation is good too. I even wore these on an airplane for three hours and they cancelled out the plane noise and I was able to watch shows on my tablet with really good sound. Battery life is awesome too. Highly recommend!" —Nicole Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in five colors). The lightweight formula contains glycerin and shea butter for long-lasting hydration. Promising review: "Love love love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile. Can be worn alone for some to put some glowy life to skin. Add to foundation or layer it. Beautiful. Use it as a base wear you put highlighter on top. Mix some with moisturizer. This in my opinion is better than so many high-luxury brands that make similar products. And I am pretty sure it can be used by all skin types. It’s not oily feeling at all and it doesn’t dry out skin either. Just a total package. Can’t beat the price either." —Figgy08 Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in five shades and as a two-pack). Promising review: "Oh wow! I followed the directions and put that moist paper towel in with my cheese, on the bottom and put some unwrapped and cut Jarlsberg wedge in it. I left for vacation and two weeks later came back, and it was still fresh and moist and not moldy! Huzzah! I'm MIGHTY impressed with this simple gadget. I hate food waste and this is super helpful!" —Awesome Taste Promising review: "I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." —Danyelle Brazell Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $8.99 (available in clear, black, or a multicolor pack). Promising review: "If you're trying to find something for body exfoliation...this is it. Just this glove, water, and some time. I soaked in the bathtub for about 10 minutes, then got to exfoliating." —Kari Ann Shawhan Get it from Amazon for $11.39 (available in five colors and as a two-pack). Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets. Promising review: "My 18-year-old daughter absolutely loves this! It’s soft, squishy, and perfect for calming her when she’s feeling stressed or anxious. She keeps it with her all the time, and it really helps her relax and refocus. Great quality and super satisfying to squeeze — highly recommend!" —Cole Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in three colors). The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can simply rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding. Promising reviews: "I like that I can wipe this mat with a wet cloth. It’s water resistant, durable, and pretty!" —Dede "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." —Nana M. Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five sizes and six colors/styles). The metal on the comb is stainless steel, anti-rust, and easy to clean, and comes with a protective cover for maximum hygiene. Promising review: "This eyelash comb is a must-have for achieving flawless lashes. The arc design perfectly fits the shape of my eyes, making it easy to separate lashes and remove any clumps after applying mascara. The metal teeth are precise and gentle, so they don’t pull or tug at my lashes. I love that it comes with a comb cover, keeping it clean and safe in my makeup bag. It’s a simple tool, but it makes a huge difference in the final look of my lashes. Highly recommended for anyone who wants perfectly separated, defined lashes!" —Abigail Olvera Promising review: "I’ve never been a journal or diary person, but needed an outlet for my anxiety and stress. Each day has the same two-page spread that prompts you to think about your day, how you felt, and why you felt that way. There isn’t really any inspiration or advice, just open lines for your thoughts without it being an intimidating blank page. This journal has already helped me see patterns in my thoughts/emotions and I feel better overall. I would recommend this journal to anyone." —Kari Madsen Reviewers with everything from straight/fine hair to thick/curly hair say these work for them. 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 spend way too much time on 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 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 $6.99 (available in two colors). Reviewers with everything from straight/fine hair to thick/curly hair say these work for them. Promising review: "I am surprised these work on my hair 👍🏼 I have REALLY thick, curly (or puffy depending if I brush it-which I don't because I look like I've been electrocuted) below my shoulder, layered hair... AND IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I was very very happy and it was so easy and quick. Yep...I love em. 😁" —Just Jenn Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors). It's best to hand wash these with a soft sponge, mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Promising review: "These glasses are gorgeous! I love the iridescent color and they provide room for a healthy pour of bubbles which is always a good idea! They look beautiful on a lovely designed table and add glam to a dinner party with their sparkly shine. I absolutely recommend them if you love to entertain." —Kim Get a set of four from Anthropologie for $56 (available in three colors). Fomin is a small business that specializes in plastic-free household essentials. Promising review: "I bought these to put into my bag/pocket to carry around just in case. Sometimes public restrooms do not have soap and that is extremely inconvenient. These come in super handy! One sheet is definitely enough for me and it’s so cool to watch it turn from a dry sheet of paper into sudsy soap with water added. I 100% recommend." —woolymammoth Get 300 sheets from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in many scents and multipacks). Promising review: "Okay! So I was skeptical at first, but honestly this stick is life changing!!! In a matter of minutes, my skin felt hydrated and plumped. After an hour, still hydrated. No greasy after feeling, very light, and you can feel your skin hydrated and absorbing. I love the fact that you can use it on your eyes, lips, and wrinkles!! Game changer for me, will def try the others!" —Kristy Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in five styles). My colleague Mallory Mower uses it: "I own this! I have mine hanging in my kitchen windowsill. I've had it for ages and like the design for several things. I've successfully grown plants from avocado pits and I'm currently using it to regrow green onions. I buy green onions, chop up what I need for a recipe, throw the rest into this planter with water, and watch my green onions grow for future meals. It's great!" Promising review: "I am absolutely obsessed with this vase. I had been searching a long time for bigger vases with a narrow neck to grow my avocado plant, and this was exactly what I needed! The bottom is nice and wide and allows so much room for root growth. The glass is not real glass, it seems like it’s some type of high-quality plastic. But it still looks very nice!" —Alysia Cup Cozy Pillow is a small business that specializes in family-friendly snack and drink organizers. Check out a TikTok of the Cup Cozy Deluxe Pillow in action. Promising review: "This thing is great! I’m home on maternity leave with my new baby and spend most of my time on the couch under a sleeping baby. This product makes it easy for me to keep my drinks, remote, etc., close by even with dogs running around. It’s a little more expensive than I would have liked but it works and I love it so money well spent!" —Amber Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in three styles and nine patterns). Promising review: "My blueberries stay fresh and crisp in this container, rather than the familiar fate of becoming soggy and moldy! I love how I can wash the berries in the strainer, pop it into the basket, and then look forward to the BEST blueberries EVER!!!!!" —Anonymous Promising review: "I have been enjoying all these different finishing sugars and the lemon was so good. I like to sprinkle some on cakes and ice cream. It's not an overpowering lemon and just the right amount. It's sweet in a good way and fun to add to any kind of dessert." —Tim Get it from Amazon for $3.67 (also available in Strawberries & Cream and Lavender Vanilla). If you have any neck or back issues, talk to your doctor before use and read more about cervical traction at Cleveland Clinic. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower can vouch for this: "After ages of looking at this thing and wondering if it was the real deal, I finally buckled and bought it. My husband and I both carry stress in our neck, and we're on our computers all day for work, so we needed some serious help. This is surprisingly comfortable to lay on. I use it 10 minutes a day and have noticed serious pain relief, and believe it is a great tool as I work on improving my posture." Promising review: "I was very surprised at the quality of this neck and shoulder relaxer, especially at this price. It has a nice structure to it, but is also soft enough to cradle your neck in comfort. Just taking a few minutes to use this helps to improve my neck and shoulder pain greatly. This especially helps when you have slept on your neck wrong and have a Crick in your neck. Very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it." —Cindy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). The non-slip design keeps the liners in place without having to use sticky adhesives. They can also easily be removed and wiped clean! Promising review: "I have battled with contact paper all my adult life. A nightmare to apply and an even worse nightmare to remove. What a joy to come across this excellent shelf liner. It cuts easily and stays in place without adhesive. It also looks pretty – I love the daisy pattern. Will be stocking up on this product as I never want to use anything else!" —Hollyhock Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in 11 sizes and 21 colors/patterns). This USB-powered lamp comes with a 5-foot cord and a standard E27 bulb! Natural Inspired Finds is a small business based in the UK that specializes in handcrafted home decor items. Promising review: "This lamp is utterly beautiful! Very well crafted and totally a talking point with friends. It has a lovely ambient light. And it is sooooo cute that you can fold it over and it looks like a picture album or book. Surprise! I absolutely love it. I highly recommend this seller. They really know their crafting game." —Belinda Wilson Get it from Natural Inspired Finds on Etsy for $54.92+ (originally $73.23+; available in two styles and two bulb options; engraving also available). Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. Promising review: "I enjoy having a scented candle burning in my house. But I don’t like heavy, floral scents, so finding the perfect scent is difficult. This scent is perfect. It doesn’t slap you in the face, it doesn’t cling to your clothes and hair hours after leaving the house. This candle is warm, inviting, and elegant." —Micknan Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in five sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents). Apply the adhesive to the wall, install the phone holder, and wait 24 hours before using it! Promising review: "This product is the answer to my search for a way to have music or Netflix playing while in the shower! The adhesion quality is great and it's very easy to use. It fits my iPhone XS Max very well and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone!" —Jackie Donovan Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors). Handy Cute Art is a Miami-based small business. Promising review: "Such a cute little item. Giving this to my friend for her birthday. It's one of those things you didn't know you needed 'til you see it." —Theresa Jenkins Get six magnets from Handy Cute Art on Etsy for $10.50 (originally $14).
