Promising review: "I love this soap so much. It's such a good Loewe alternative and for a fraction of the price. I have three bottles and only managed to get through one this summer, so I am pumped to have two more bottles next summer!" —Jesse C

Get it from Amazon for $4.89 (also available in daisy and fresh cut grass).

Promising review: "When I tell you the moment I smelled this perfume I was enticed by it, I truly mean it. I have been looking for a sweet, creamy scent to wear lately, and THIS is it. The smell is so sweet and creamy and suprisingly STRONG. I love projection in perfumes and this one suprised me with just how MUCH I can smell this. THIS SUCKER stays for HOURS. My mother and I love this scent; I am very pleased with it and how it sits on my skin. I hope they start selling this in even bigger bottles because this might just be my signature perfume to wear." —Lindsey

Pistaché Skincare is a small business that sells pistachio-scented skincare. 

Promising review: "Heavenly. That's the best one-word description for this body butter. It's thick on your fingers and smooth on your skin. It absorbs without leaving you feeling greasy or oily. And the smell is absolutely incredible. So far, I've paired it with SDJ Cheirosa 62 and Kayali Yum Pistachio. If you're a fan of pistachio scents, this is a MUST-have." —Jessi

The weights are covered with a sweatproof, skin-friendly silicone layer that's comfortable, and the adjustable elastic band helps you get the right fit. You can even remove weights as well if needed!

Promising review: "I love these! So great for yoga or mat Pilates. I like that they are 2 pounds each, which is the perfect weight, and you can even take off weight as well. I use them every week for my workouts. Very durable band as well!" —Robyn

Get a pair from Amazon for $24.09+ (available in two sizes and 14 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

"I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but I read reviews, and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look, definitely get a size smaller, as it is very stretchy. I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother, while Skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and seven colors).

Promising review: "Are you kidding me? This is the softest, most comfortable body suit I’ve ever owned. I got so many compliments lol; everyone did think they were Skims lol, but it’s definitely worth every penny. I love and will be getting more colors!!! You need it." —Wendy L. 

Get it from Amazon for $19.70 (available in women's sizes XS–3X and 15 colors). And check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric here.

The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of the four shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. 

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

If you're wondering what oud is, think of the smell of fallen trees in the woods after a hard rain. 

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: "I was staying over at a friend's house and sitting next to her coffee table. She had this candle on the table and even though it wasn't lit I could smell it, and it was so delicious that I instantly went online to find it and bought it for myself! If this came in a perfume I would buy enough to last the rest of my life. I don't know how to even explain the scent but if you are an amber/patchouli/vanilla fan, this is absolutely for you. The jasmine adds an unbelievable freshness without a flowery scent. I even bought the shampoo and conditioner which I will probably use as more of a body wash and shaving cream but that is how desperate I am to get this scent on me!" —Melissa I. 

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in seven sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).  

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this pan. I previously owned an Always Pan which retails for $150 and this pan is way better! The Always Pan didn't last at all and I've been using this one daily and it's still just as nonstick as when I bought it. I also love that it's lightweight compared to other pans I've used. The colors are so pretty, too! I'm buying a second one for my RV :)." —Donna Irene

Get it from Amazon for $49.71 (available in five colors and also a pot version). 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves this body lotion: "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying, and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." 

Promising review: "Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you’re a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." —Ralph D. Thompson II

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other scents). 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "I finally decided to hop on board the hype train for these big tumblers and am already obsessed with my Simple Modern one! The fact that this has both a straw and a handle means I end up carrying it around with me and drinking WAY more water than I did before. BTW! I highly recommend getting straw covers to protect against dust and germs; I got cute cloud ones (like these), and they work perfectly!" 

Promising review: "If you have been wanting a Stanley cup, believe me, save yourself some money and get this cup! You will end up with a better cup than the Stanley! I have dropped/tipped over this cup a couple of times and only a couple of drops of water come out. If I did that to my Stanley, water got everywhere! And this cup keeps the water so cold. And if you purchase silicone straw toppers, it keeps the water even colder! Also, it fits in my car cup holder, and my Stanley really didn’t. Love this cup!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and 28 colors). Also available in a style without the handle!

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 $4.66 (also available in a chocolatey scent). 

Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord says, "HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit pricey compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT."

Promising review: "Bought this because I saw it on TikTok, and it did not disappoint. I love the lightweight feel of it and how easy it is to build." —Smickens

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in 12 shades). 

Promising review: "Feels like good quality and the real thing. I recommend giving it a try if you're a fan of the Tiffany hardware collection." —Christina

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two finishes and also Cuban link styles). 

Promising reviews: "I researched a lot before choosing this Dutch oven. I wasn't sure that this brand would be of high quality because the price is so much lower than the famous Le Creuset and others. This Overmont product is stylish and big enough to hold a whole chicken or probably roast. On first cooking, we did jerk beef ribs and were pleased with the result. Heat distribution is excellent, and it's easy to clean with hot, soapy water." —NJM

"I bought this specifically for baking bread. Everyone was suggesting I buy the Le Creuset brand, but I'm new to the task, so I didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount. I could not be happier with my purchase. I've preheated both the pot and lid for an hour, as the recipes have said, and it works beautifully. It bakes fresh sourdough and yeast bread, yielding really beautiful brown crusts and even cooking throughout. I use parchment to line the pot for cooking, so clean-up is a breeze. 5 stars!" —Iris C. Wilson

Get a 5.5-quart pot from Amazon for $42.99 (available in three sizes and eight colors). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. The dark color is perfectly sheer. It also adds the most beautiful color to your lips. I am a Clinique Black Honey lip fan, and this gives me the same look for a fraction of the cost. I love it and have several that I keep in various spots. Not sticky either, which is my biggest gripe about lip glosses. My hair doesn’t get stuck in this like some glosses, but I get the shine." —Hamps5

Get it from Amazon for $8 (also available in four other shades). 

Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this mascara and says: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this! I think it’s better (and way more affordable) than the Tarte version I was using! Made the switch immediately and never looking back." —ALETHA

Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in three shades).

Promising review: "I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great and with the price point, I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" —Jessica M

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 16 sets, as well as two-packs and individual pairs). 

For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these has 5 grams, or 15 grams, for the entire set. So even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal. 

Promising review: "[Alternative] for the Laneige lip mask. This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya

Get the set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in four scents and variety packs). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this frame. I had been looking for one like this bamboo style, but most of them were so expensive. This company is affordable, quality, and well packaged. Looks great with my print!" —LoveCuban73

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in 10 sizes and two colors).

Promising reviews: "Bought this dress because I always wanted to get the House of CB dress but didn’t want to pay over $250 for it. It’s honestly so good! I got the size large in this since they didn’t have my normal sizes, which are small to medium (I have a bigger chest, so I tend to size up). But since this has a corset back, I was able to cinch it up really tight, and it fit perfectly!" —Chris Herfurth Kennedy

"Beautiful, stunning perfection. This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The corset in the back makes it fit like it was made for me. It's double-lined and not see-through at all, even though it's white. The straps are adjustable, the slit is a good height, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. I cannot say enough good things about it. It did come slightly wrinkly in the skirt, but nothing that a good steam won't fix." —Shoshanna

Get it from Amazon for $62.99 (available in women's sizes 0–14 and 15 colors/styles).

Promising review: "I hopped on the gold ornate mirror trend and spent a long time trying to find one within my budget. I was worried at first because there weren’t any reviews when I first bought this. It looked amazing online and was the perfect size, so I went ahead and got it. I am THRILLED with this purchase!!! One of the best things I’ve gotten from Amazon. It’s beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pics. It came four-ish days faster than estimated. It’s perfect for my makeup desk. If there were different sizes of the same mirror, I would buy all of them." —McKinlee Mayer

Get it from Amazon for $94.99+ (available in seven sizes and five finishes).

Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in a similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a shot...and they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." —Han Lin

Get them from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 21 styles).

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "I'm a Glossier Cloud Paint stan, so I'll continue to buy it, but I love this affordable alternative, too! It spreads on super easily and can either go on sheer or build for a bolder effect. I got the Rose Flush shade and enjoy it for ~everyday wear~ since it's so easy to squirt a bit on my fingers, swirl it into my cheeks, and be on my merry way. It lasts all day and looks super natural to boot!" 

Get it from Amazon for $9.37 (available in six shades). 

Promising review: "When I initially bought it, I was nervous that the brass color wasn’t going to match with my coach bag, but once it arrived, it was perfect; it looks almost like the real one and doesn’t feel cheap at all, I’m very happy with my purchase, and I'd 100% recommend this to someone looking for an alternative to the Coach cherry charm!" —Veronica G.

Promising review: "I wasn't seeing many pictures of small-chested ladies, so I was a little worried about how this would fit. Purchased X-Small, and it fits perfectly! The straps stay in place, don't look weird with the bra cups, and it is form-fitting in the back. I hate tank tops that have a big gap in the back. This one does not. It goes down to about my belly button. I wanted something similar to the Lululemon Align, but this is well worth it instead! It is not tight at all, does not dig in, and is super breathable. I am thrilled with this purchase!" —olivia schilling

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 24 colors). 

Promising review: "They are the best leggings I've ever owned! I've been weight training for roughly 17 years now, and I've worn a lot of different leggings. I've even spent $180 on a pair of Lululemon leggings, which don't compare to these at all. These leggings are soft, stretchy, form-fitting, and they make you look incredible! This is the fourth pair I've bought, and I probably will buy all colors. Also very important: They don't leave sweat marks. 100% squat-proof and the softest material ever. I can't say it enough!" —Emily Souther

Get them from Amazon for $25 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 25 colors). 

Promising reviews: "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

"Better than TikTok said! OMRyan Gosling, this is an amazing lotion!!! Run, don’t walk, and buy this lotion! The name is vanilla cashmere and that is exactly what this is! Love love love!" —DeeDra Billings

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in seven other scents)

Promising review: "These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." —Brittany

Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra large size). 

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

BuzzFeed 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 went from using AirPod Pros to these. They’re honestly really good sound quality. I am surprised at how well they sound, considering I do audio engineering. Great replacement for Apple Airpod Maxes!!! Totally worth it — best purchase I’ve made in a while. PLUS!!! They’re so cute on. :)" —Hanna

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in five colors). 

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I’ve received so many compliments already. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to add a chic accessory to their collection!" —Arsalan sheikh

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five styles and two packs).
