Promising review: "I'm 44, I've been wearing makeup since 5th grade. I've done makeup professionally. I've used dozens and dozens of foundations from drugstore to super high-end. This is by far the best I've ever used. I also get compliments from strangers as well as med spa workers on how great my skin looks. It's from this product. I'm truly blown away by it. The coverage and the finish are top-notch, and it lasts all day. Rihanna definitely knocked it out of the park with this one." —Lace

Promising review: "Perfect hair day every day! This spray is both beautiful and fragrant! It leaves my hair feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed, while the scent is absolutely delightful. A must-have for anyone looking to add shine and a lovely fragrance to their hair routine!" —charlotte

Get it from Amazon for $21 (originally $30). 

The set includes the full-size *and* a travel-size perfume. 

Promising review: "This is my most complimented perfume! It has a sweet scent to it that smells expensive. A few sprays last longer than a day. it’s definitely worth the splurge and the packaging is big enough to last you a long time. :)" —anahyG

Promising review: "I started using this Korean skincare product with blemishes, acne, dark spots, and overall tired‑looking skin. On day one, my skin looked dull and uneven. After one month, I can clearly see a difference — my skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even‑toned. Some of my dark spots have lightened, and my breakouts have calmed down a lot. It’s not a dramatic overnight change, but it’s definitely real, steady improvement, and I’m excited to keep going." —chelo

Get it from Amazon for $15.24 (originally $19.05; available in four other formulas) — and see all Arencia deals here. 

This includes the main unit, a tapered barrel, longer barrel, fast dryer, dryer + flyaway attachment, large round volumizing brush, the soft smoothing brush, a filter cleaning brush, and a case. 

Promising review: "Frugal, busy working mom with “average” highlighted hair decided to spring for this as a Christmas present to myself. And wow, has it delivered. Dries my hair significantly faster and so easy to use the multiple attachments, depending on my time available. Provides long-lasting voluminous blowout that allows me to go three to four days without washing (with dry shampoo and a fourth day ponytail). But I also use it for quick dry of my six-year-old daughter’s sensitive hair, and rough-dry our dog. 😆 If you’re on the fence, I’m here to tell you this kit is worth adding to your beauty routine toolbox." —Laura

Get it from Amazon for $499.99 (originally $649.99; available in five other styles) — and see all  Dyson deals here. 

Promising review: "I love my new styling brush. Very easy to use. The bristles are long enough to hang on to your hair while you apply the heat. I've bought one where the bristles were hard, short plastic pieces, and it would not hold on to my hair; it was horrible. This brush was fantastic — very easy to use, especially if you're not great with styling tools like me. I'm very impressed, especially for the price, you definitely can't beat it. Highly recommend this brush!!!" —Socks

Get it from Walmart for $23.99 (originally $79.99) — and see all Walmart beauty deals here. 

The kit includes 30 nail wraps in 15 different sizes, two prep pads, a nail file, and a wooden stick. You'll also want to pick up a UV lamp to cure them, and Ohara sells a pack of their top coat and remover for extra gloss, longevity, and easier removal. 

Btw, the nails on the left are Chocolate Chrome, and the nails on the right are Starry Pop!

Promising review: "I got a compliment today on these, and my friend couldn’t tell these were nail strips. I love that these gel strips can act as nail extensions. Some of my natural nails were broken and shorter, so I used builder gel on top with a top coat to finish off, to make it like extensions (see my thumb picture). Never going back to press on nails, and these are a great substitute for expensive salon nails." —Jessica

Promising review: "I wish I had taken before/after photos. I’m 47 and have ok lashes. I’ve been using this now for about six or seven weeks and just started on a second bottle. I started noticing a difference between three to four weeks and now they are SO LONG! I feel like I’m brushing these things with a hairbrush when I put mascara on now. I don’t have that “dead” look when I wake up. I haven’t told anyone I’m using it, as I wanted to see if the difference was noticeable, and my circle of people is noticing it! I just apply it after I wash my face before bed. I haven’t had any issues with irritation, and it dries very quickly. Highly recommend!" —shannon foster

Promising review: "I'm so glad to have my feet back again. I'm not sure what happened, but when I turned 30, I got my grandfather's feet. Dry, hard, scaly. Of course, I was very skeptical, but for the cost of the foot peel kit, I really didn't have much to lose. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing it to see if I could get an idea of what to expect and how to do it. The first couple of days after the peel, I didn't notice any change. By day three, the process began. My dead skin began peeling off in layers. It was very therapeutic getting rid of that rough, dry skin. After my feet stopped peeling, I waited four days, then did another peel. My feet look and feel 20 years younger!!! If you're embarrassed by your feet, this is a must buy!" —David

This lip oil is vegan, cruelty free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.

Promising reviews: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger, it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" —Rachel

"This actually works! Am I surprised? YES. It changes my colorless lips to a natural-looking, rosy mauve, and when I woke in the morning, the color was still there. No patchiness. I ordered Appleblacktea and it didn’t turn bright pink. For once my research paid off. I read every review and looked at every picture to figure out which shade would not be Barbie Pink. But I’m going to have to try other shades now. Sometimes TikTok doesn’t lie!" —H. Reyes

Get it from Amazon for $9.60 (originally $15; available in 11 shades, packs of two and three, and a jumbo size). 

Promising review: "This is my favorite exfoliator. Don't irritate my sensitive eczema prone skin, and my face feels sooooo smooth and looks so much brighter since i started using this. Love it!!" —Jada

Get it from Soko Glam for $21.60 (originally $27) — and see all Soko Glam deals here. 

It's designed to work for all hair types — lots of reviewers with everything from straight to curly hair have uploaded their gorg results! 

Promising review: "I have long dark dyed hair and my ends get really dry. I used this a few times this week and I can already see a difference. My hair feels softer, smoother, and easier to brush. The frizz is less noticeable and my hair looks more healthy overall. I like that it doesn’t make my hair greasy or heavy. I usually leave it on for about 15–20 minutes before washing. It’s a nice treatment if your hair is damaged from coloring." —Ielyzaveta

Promising review: "I had a cheap battery-operated flosser, and the batteries didn't last long at all... Then I saw this rechargeable one and it's also cordless — and it's PERFECT... It's got quality in the name Waterpik, I had one of the first ones they made, but it was bulky and not portable. I like to add mouthwash to it, and use the tiny brush pik that comes with. The water flow is adjustable. Good thing, still on first use I had to look where to turn it off but my mirror needed to be cleaned anyway. I guarantee you, using this gem 2x a day will make your Dentist love you!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Waterpik is the Cadillac of dental products. Combine with a Sonic toothbrush, and you have a Rolls-Royce!" —Jane

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (originally $69.99) — and see all Waterpik deals here). 

Promising review: "This setting spray is truly a game changer — I only wish I had purchased it sooner. It may have just taken the top spot over my current favorite. What stood out to me most is the blurring effect it gives the skin while still helping makeup last beautifully throughout the day. I recently brought it with me on a long weekend trip to a very hot and humid country, and it absolutely held up. My makeup stayed looking smooth, fresh, and locked in without feeling heavy." —Markeisha B.

Promising review: "I’m not a big makeup foundation wearer, but I ordered my first bottle of the skin tint serum a year ago and have never looked back. It’s light but covers, blends, and melts in so naturally it’s ridiculous. Shade matches perfect every time! I get compliments on my skin all the time! Love love!" —Melissa A.

Promising review: "Glow up in a tube. My new daily skin tint. I love the natural finish. Leans dewy. The consistency is on the thin/watery side, but the coverage is surprisingly moderate for a skin tint. It nicely blurs imperfections without making you feel like you’re wearing much. No smell." —Buna Marie

Get it from Amazon for $30.40 (originally $38; available in 14 shades). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love the Ditoi Disposable Face Towels! They’re incredibly soft on the skin but surprisingly sturdy, so they feel luxurious yet do a great job removing makeup, dirt, and oil without tearing. Perfect for travel, gym sessions, or quick daily refreshes when I don’t want to do a full wash. They’re gentle enough for sensitive skin and make cleanup so fast and easy. A total must-have for anyone who wants convenience without sacrificing quality highly recommend! Will be definitely repurchasing." —Walah Mahmoud

Promising review: "I'm literally only writing this review because I just looked at my lashes in the mirror and decided I needed to. I have medium length, underwhelming lashes that are fairly thin and wispy. I also have a flat (half) asian face, so I'm constantly smearing mascara on my lids when I try to apply mascara. Because my eyelashes are more sparse than short, I prefer a volumizing mascara. I also prefer a tubing formula because with regular formulas I inevitably end up with raccoon eyes in the shower. This mascara is SO GOOD. It looks a bit clumpy coming out of the tube, but I find that I can actually avoid clumps by just combing it through my eyelashes a few times. The wand really grips my lashes, and the shape is one of the best I've used for my flat face with very minimal accidental eyelid painting. The result is both extremely natural (no spider lashes here), and extremely not (my eyelashes do not look this good on their own), and I'm both happy and sad to give away the couple of unopened mascaras from other brands I planned to use next." —Miap

Promising review: "I have VERY sensitive skin. I switched over to this product and my skin has been flawless ever since. This does not cause me to have breakouts or have all of those blackheads I was getting from other sunscreens. Even though I am 56 years old, my skin is still very oily. This does not leave my face greasy and works well under my makeup." —VShort

Promising review: "I absolutely cannot get enough of this stuff!! This serum is staying in my routine on rotation!! I’m on tube number five I do not go a day or night without this in my line up! The way your skin sucks this up and the glow is top notch! I put it on before bed and my skin is still glowing when I wake up! This is one of my must haves!! I have some hyper pigmentation I am also 45 years old but in my photo you can see how hydrated my skin looks and it’s not oily or greasy it’s hydrated!" —Margarita in Miami
