From Anua's K-Pop Demon Hunters sunscreen (yes, seriously) and an exciting new Brümate tumbler to a stunning chunky beaded necklace and handy-dandy Mr. Clean Magic Eraser shower and tub scrubber that I'm *personally* excited about, there is much to discover within this round-up, my friends. Dive on in! Promising review: "This lip stain is amazing! It feels so buttery and smooth. It leaves a light stain that lasts through a meal. It has a delicious scent. I like it so much, I just bought two more shades!" —Kelley Foreman Get it from Amazon for $9.69+ (available in five shades). Note that the AAD recommends using at least SPF 30 and reapplying as needed for skin protection. You can read about sunscreen myths and facts from dermatologists for more information! Promising reviews: "I love this Anua sunscreen. It goes on smoothly with absolutely no white cast, and the moisturizing finish leaves my skin feeling great. It provides excellent sun protection without feeling heavy or greasy. A new favorite in my skincare routine!" —Noah Ferguson Get it from Amazon for $18 (also available in plain packaging). Check out all of the other fun items from the K-Pop Demon Hunters collab! I've been testing this water bottle out and, well, I have zero bad things to say! It keeps my water cold overnight, I'm obsessed with the vibrant color, and it's easy to slide the straw under to keep it germ-free. I've gotten a bunch of compliments while walking around my neighborhood with it. Big fan!! Promising review: "I originally got this cup so that when I was around my nephew, I didn’t have to jump up and grab my cup to keep him from trying to drink out of it, but I can say overall I really do like this cup. I have a normal Era, and this one is made just as well and is leak-proof. The straw cover is very sturdy and it does have to be pushed to open, so you don’t have to worry about it sliding open due to it falling over or dropping." —cassidy Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available 30 or 40 oz and 10 colors). Promising review: "I received this as a gift and love it so much I bought one to give as a gift! So fun! A different look each time you pull out a tissue. Makes me smile every time. Worth every penny!" —zumbanista Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six styles). You'll also get two 8-inch extension straps and a 28-inch strap for creating a unique-to-you fit! Promising review: "The cordless knee massager with heat provided excellent relief prior to my total knee replacement. Since my TKR, I’ve been enjoying the comfort of the massage feature as my knee heals from surgery. This product stays charged for a long time and is portable, so it can be used while traveling or working. My only regret is not finding this product sooner. It's great and works well." —Donna Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (also available individually). Promising review: "Needed a nice frame for my lake house. I love the beading, colors, and style. Very well made and hangs nicely on the wall or can be used on a tabletop. I love the plexiglass vs. glass. Good safety feature." —Mim Get it from Amazon for $20.79+ (available in two sizes and 10 designs). Promising review: "This is super cute and very functional. There’s even a button to answer or end calls or it will also play or pause music through the handheld phone." —lyatesc Get it from Anthropologie for $40 (available in five colors). Promising review: "This surge protector is exactly what I needed for my home office. The rotating outlets make it easy to plug in bulky adapters without blocking other plugs, and the 8-foot cord gives plenty of flexibility. I feel confident knowing my devices are protected by 4320 joules of surge protection, and the flat-pivot plug is great for tight spaces. It’s sturdy, well-made, and perfect for keeping all my electronics safe and organized." —Allen TM Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite nail polishes ever. The color is stunning, but subtle. It dries fast, but evenly. It lasts very well for a regular nail polish. I have bought this nail polish a couple of times because I’ve never found a color that matches my skin tone as well as this one does. I strongly recommend it." —Lisa Promising review: "This nail and cuticle cream is hands down the best I’ve ever used! I live in a very dry climate, and my poor cuticles were ragged, and my stress-nail-biting wasn’t helping matters. After only two days of applying three times daily, my cuticles are magically healed, soft, and soothed. My nails are now healthy and moisturized, and I even think they are growing faster! I don’t know how this formula does it, but it fully delivers on its promises!" —KW Promising review: "Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." —Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in three colors). Promising review: "Love, love, steps up a tee or a top for dinner, have received lots of compliments. It is very chunky, so if you are more petite, it might be a tad too much." —Karrivibes Get it from Anthropologie for $78 (available in seven styles). Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I’ve used this product for about two months now. I try to remember to apply at least twice a day. Not only is my skin clearer, but the overall texture is much smoother and softer. I highly recommend giving this lotion a try." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a two-pack). The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs. CurveCorrect is a small business! Promising review: "I never realized how curved my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the CurveCorrect product did I realize that I had a major problem and it could be resolved! Now I'm on the way to normal, flat toenails that DON'T grow curved into my skin!" —Jamie H. Check out a TikTok of the under-eye brightener in action. Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING! I love the larger roller ball, the cooling effect, and the instant depuffing of my eyes. Will definitely keep on hand!" —TRISTA T. Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in a steel or rose quartz rollerball). It comes with a spatula for removing the cream! Just be sure to test a small area of your skin and make sure there are no adverse reactions for 24 hours. Promising review: "I have been looking for a good hair removal for my sensitive skin and this one is perfect. It has a great odor and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. It does not burn my skin at all, even when I leave it on for 15 minutes or more. This is definitely my new hair removal cream. I will recommend this one to everyone." —Crystal Get it from Amazon for $9.47 (also available in a two-pack). Promising review: "This baby night-light is a good deal… I decided to give it a try with my second baby after buying an expensive noise/light machine that was too complicated to use during night feedings. This one has a great price, a very practical size, the best material (it feels soft and is sturdy at the same time), and you can find the perfect brightness for each time you need it." —Mariana Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (typically $39.99). Read more about how an Epsom salt soak can help relieve muscle pain, stress, and inflammation at the Cleveland Clinic. There's a new foaming bath in this scent, too! Promising review: "I've been a loyal customer to Dr. Teal's Epsom salt for years, but this one smells AMAZING!" —Amazon Customer Promising review: "Best claw clip for fine hair! No headache and no slippage! Color is beautiful and it stays put all day! My hair slides out of all other clips and they feel insecure and uncomfortable. This one is awesome! I'll be buying other colors." —W. Doss Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in six colors). Promising review: "My order came quickly, and the flowers are so cute! The characters' faces are perfect! I like that they can bend, as it made it easier to arrange all of them in one vase." —Pinom Get them from Disney Store for $16.99 each (available in 10 characters). Promising review: "As many folks have said, have all the things you need (gloves, phone, shower head, etc.) at hand when you apply this freaking miracle. I have heels like a busted can of biscuits, and I don't have much faith in any product. Any trip to the salon is basically worthless for my calluses. So I soaked my feet and dried them. Applied the gel and waited. Rinsed and started using my rasp. I have NEVER seen so much skin come off. And it just kept coming. I rinsed and put lotion on, then slept in thick socks. My feet are so soft! Game changer." —VR Get it from Amazon for $7.98 (available in three scents). I am not mincing my words when I dare say this game is better than Animal Crossing. At the time of this writing, it has only been released for a little over two weeks, and yet there are already a wild amount of videos across social media platforms with players showcasing their custom buildings and their experiences throughout the game (my 4-year-old has been begging to watch them nightly). There is just so much to do that I can't even begin to scratch the surface (though that's mostly because I have a full-time job and am a mother of two). My husband and I have been fans of the franchise since we were kids and cannot get over 1. how beautiful *and* fun this game is, and 2. how it honors the original games' origins' in such a special way (don't worry, no spoilers). Playing it feels like visiting old friends! But even if you weren't an OG player, you'll still enjoy logging hours on this game. My fellow editor and pal Jenae Sitzes has also jumped on this bandwagon, and we are having a *blast* talking about how much fun it is (and by that I mostly mean sending silly memes back and forth of people "watering" their plants by spitting on them and oggling over all the incredible things players have built that we'll never get to do). This game is a bonding experience! Just dive right in! Promising review: "This really is a great, cozy game. Lots to do, the storyline is interesting, and it's nice to see a Pokémon IP that isn't just the same regurgitated formula. I also really like the developer's previous Dragon Quest Builders games. That said, there is no combat or fighting, so as mentioned, this is 100% for cozy gamers." —Brandon O'Bryan Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in physical or digital copies). Check out the other new Lenox Spice Village items here! Promising review: "My kid loves this rug, and it is so comfortable to sit and play on! The perfect rug for a playroom!" —Maggie Other scents are Blue Beary (blueberry, plum, sugar) and Acai Beary (acai, blackberry, and orange). Hempz is a small business that sells hemp seed–infused beauty products. Promising review: "I'm 48 years young and absolutely LOVE this Blue Beary Hempz lotion! I normally buy their regular bottle of blueberry lavender lotion, which is my go-to, but I find THIS blueberry moisturizer to be thicker, creamier, and lasts much longer on my skin than the usual stuff. I really hope it stays in stock because I have extremely dry, parched, crepey skin (lifelong extreme eczema sufferer), and this works so well AND smells amazing! This scent is not a natural blueberry scent, but smells exactly like Blueberry Hubba Bubba gum from the '80s. I am obsessed with everything blueberry scented, flavored, and themed, and this is just so fun! The packaging is adorable, too." —Lisa Get it from Amazon for $19.60+ (available in three scents). Promising review: "I really like these Caterlove seamless women’s underwear. The material is soft, stretchy, and very comfortable to wear throughout the day. One of the best things is that they are truly no-show under clothes, making them perfect for leggings, dresses, or tight pants. The bikini/hipster style fits nicely and doesn’t feel tight. The fabric feels lightweight and silky, which makes it great for everyday wear. Overall, they are a great option if you’re looking for comfortable, smooth underwear that stays invisible under clothing." —Rosa Rodriguez Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six color sets and women's sizes XS–XL). The water-resistant light comes with a replaceable lithium battery. Promising review: "So glad I found these. I have one on my apartment key and another on my mailbox key. They really work well, especially in low lighting. Since my vision is no longer perfect, these lights save me time so I don’t have to fumble trying to get my key into the locks. I definitely recommend them. I have a spare for replacement, but they last a long time." —Marni BuzzFeed deputy editorial director Maitland Quitmeyer loves it! She said, "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here." Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok. I was skeptical, as not everything that blows up works as well as they say. But after trying so many different sink cleaners, I was ready to give this a try. I followed the directions exactly on the bottle, and the results were instant. I will not go back to any other cleaner for my sink." —lexidan Promising review: "I love them! I bought two for my apartment because I use paper towels for everything lol. I have one in my kitchen and one in my bathroom; they're the perfect size and easy to install. I used the tape, and they are still sticking with no problems at all. Nice and sturdy, and it saves so much counter space." —Chalisse A Taylor Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three colors). Promising review: "Do not hesitate to try this product if you have a hard skin problem 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 These are made without harmful substances and are certified for indoor air quality. Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with this purchase! The paper incense exceeded all my expectations. The quality is outstanding, and it works even better than the description. It arrived quickly, was well-packaged, and easy to use. Smells great and burns well. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for paper incense." —Kim Get it from Amazon for $14 (available in eight scents). I have. no joke, 13 Hill House Nap Dresses and counting. So it will come as no surprise that I will absolutely be picking these up for both me *and* my almost 2-year-old! They're so pretty! And practical! A need! Be sure to check out the entire collection — there are all kinds of other fabulous hair accessories you'll want to add to your day-to-day looks! Get it from Hill House for $18 or Wet Brush for $17.49 (available in two styles). Promising review: "This product is the real deal. The first time I used it, I noticed a definite softening of the lines on my neck. I have been using it for about a week and it has made a noticeable difference. No, the wrinkles are not completely gone but there is a real difference. I will also point out that I am almost 70, so I wasn't expecting a miracle, but this product has come pretty darn close. I recommend it." —rose b. Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne Get a device and two refills from Amazon for $12.94. Get it from Anthropologie for $48 and check out the entire The Bistro Tile Stonewar: Italia Edition collection. Promising review: "Once you have these pans/bakeware, you’re going to want them all. I wish I had bought the entire set from the get-go. Amazing quality and workmanship. Beautiful, easy to clean. Best overall. Love the organization basket-a must for every kitchen. If you’re looking to go ceramic-get rid of chemicals, quality that won’t warp or wear out, then I highly recommend Caraway." —BEM Get it from Amazon for $275 (available in six colors and also in an 11-piece set). Promising review: "This is a great product. I have breathing problems and can’t have scents, and these are fragrance-free and work great. House smells clean, not perfumed." —Steelerfan "This cleaner surprised me in the best way. I sprayed it on, let it sit for a moment, and everything wiped up so easily. It leaves surfaces looking fresh without any strong chemical smell. Definitely a great all-purpose cleaner!"—Julia McKnight Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and two scents or unscented). Promising review: "I highly recommend this pine gel! I use it every day and love its versatility. For a deeper clean, I apply the gel directly, while for everyday use, I simply mix it with water as a multipurpose cleaner. I truly use it for everything in my home—it's become my go-to cleaning product. I use it as a laundry sanitizer to eliminate odors, in my floor mopping bucket, and for cleaning bathrooms, sinks, and my stove. I can't imagine my cleaning routine without it." —Lior mealem I have this snap-on lip case from Rhode and have used it way more than I thought I would. I am obsessed with their lip peptide treatments and have one in every bag I own, but I'm often out and about with my kids and don't have time to rummage through my bag to grab it. When I know I'm going to *actually* be social and want to look somewhat put together, I pop this onto my phone case and have my gloss handy! It's been fantastic! If you really want to commit, there's also a phone case with the lip tube holder already built in. Promising review: "It is super cute, and the magnet on it is stronger than I thought it would be!!! It hasn't fallen or got knocked off at all, but is still convenient enough to remove whenever you want" —Izella P Get it from Rhode for $46+ (available in four colors and with or without an added-on lip product). County Line Kitchen is a small business specializing in mason jar–style cold brew makers, pitchers, and accessories. Promising review: "This has been a hit in my house. Makes the most delicious cold brew and is of great quality. I have saved a ton of money on going out and on pods I used to buy. I try to let it sit for 48 hours so I can dilute it with a little water to get it to last longer, and throw it in my dishwasher in between uses. Perfect!" —Jo Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors).
