Promising review: "I love Urban decay eyeliner. Colors are bright and vibrant. Plus they don’t run they stay in place. I’ve used this eyeliner for the last 10 years and I have several colors I switch between. Plus it’s a longer pencil than most other brands so you can get more out of it." —Susan E. Stribling

Promising review: "An excellent product for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. If you find traditional string floss or floss picks difficult to use—especially when trying to reach the molars — this water flosser is a perfect alternative. It easily reaches all areas of the mouth, and the water flossing action effectively removes food particles trapped between the teeth and along the gum line. Additionally, it comes with multiple tip attachments to suit different needs, and the 360-degree rotating feature makes it extremely convenient to reach every tooth with ease. Very satisfied with this product." —Dili Lank 

Price: $44.99 (originally $69.99; available in black and white)

Promising review: "LOVE these headphones...I researched lots...these are so comfy. Tried on the apple ones (which were highly recommended) and they were too heavy. The BOSE QC are super lightweight plastic (which makes them almost fragile, so keep them in the provided case while commuting) but are super comfy and great." —Ami

Price: $229 (originally $359; also available in 11 colors)

They also come with a case that'll tell you how charged your 'buds are. 

Promising review: "I bought these earbuds almost a year ago, and they have been one of the best purchases I've ever made. I own the Bose Quiet Comfort earbuds, and take them with me everywhere because I am sensitive to loud noises and the noise canceling can't be beat. The problem is they are very expensive, and I've lost more than one pair. I've tried a lot of different earbuds as a backup to my Bose, but none that claimed to have noise canceling had the same level of noise canceling as my primary earbuds — until this pair. The sound and noise canceling are amazing for the price. Additionally, the battery life is incredible, and the charging case tells you how much life it has left, which is something the Bose doesn't offer." —Lea Weaver

Price: $27.99+ (originally $39.99; available in seven colors)

Promising review: "This drill works fantastic! Great power and feels nice in the hand. Very grippy and durable, battery seems pretty good too considering the price. Can’t go wrong with DeWalt and I am super happy to add this tool to my collection!" —Julie R.  

Promising review: "I've had this vacuum for almost two years now, and it still works as good as new. I have two Shiba Inu dogs who shed so much it's ridiculous. All of the attachments have their own obvious uses. The suction is great, and the vacuum isn't loud enough when set to max suction to scare my dogs. They actually love it when I turn it on because they love to get brushed and groomed. Worth every penny to help keep my dogs looking nice and clean." —Kevin Pellot

Promising review: "I upgraded from a cheaper blow dryer brush to the Drybar Double Shot, and I can confidently say it was worth every penny! The quality is noticeably better, and it feels much more durable. It dries and styles my hair quickly while giving it a smooth, salon-quality finish with plenty of volume. The lightweight design makes it easy to use, even for longer styling sessions. One tip I learned from my previous blow dryer brush — clean out the hair and lint regularly to keep it working efficiently and prolong its lifespan. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality blow dryer brush!" —Santino/Hailey

Price: $108.50 (originally $155; available in four sizes)

Promising review: "Where has this been my whole life? I hesitated to purchase the Dyson for a long time due to its price, but looking back, I realize I would have saved a lot of money if I had invested in this gem sooner instead of buying several mediocre hair stylers.

The results are simply amazing! This tool gives my layered bob, which reaches the bottom of my neck, incredible body without causing any heat damage. My hair shines like never before, and it's so easy to use. My hair is medium thickness and naturally stick straight, but the conical barrel creates soft, lovely curls, while the regular barrel lifts at the roots, providing ample body. I am still getting the hang of how much hair to section for the perfect wrap, but any loose strands are easy to catch in the next go. One of the best features is the simple click mechanism to change the curl direction. This eliminates downtime when switching barrels, making it incredibly efficient if you're alternating curl directions for your style. And let’s not forget the blow dryer—it's fantastic too! In conclusion, the Dyson Air Styler has exceeded my expectations. It’s undoubtedly worth the investment for anyone looking to elevate their hairstyling game!" —Kimberley Parrott

Price: $499.99+ (originally $649.99; available in four colors)

Promising review: "While I was waiting for this to arrive, the air pollution got really bad, and I had been coughing, my eyes were watering, and I was forced to wear an N95 mask at home just to breathe. When the purifier finally arrived, I turned it on, and the sensor light went red to indicate the high level of contamination in the air. I opened the doors of every room of my apartment to let it go to work, and after a few minutes at full power, the light turned from red to purple, and about 5 minutes later, it went blue. I took my mask off, and the air was pure and fresh. It is an absolute superhero at cleaning a large volume of air very quickly. I was thoroughly impressed. The sensor is very sensitive and will turn purple if you are just cooking something that releases strong scents into the air (sautéing onions and peppers, etc.), and it goes red if you're burning anything. Another upside is that my kitchen smoke detector has stopped going off if I'm grilling something, because the purifier keeps the air quality under control.

At the highest setting, it's about as loud as my old purifier at the middle setting, which is to be expected, as you would only set it that high to quickly clear out a room or if there's smoke from cooking, etc. But the massive volume of clean air it blows out in exchange for that short-term annoyance is staggering. However, at the 2nd highest setting, it is barely detectable, producing a pleasant, white noise background sound that you quickly tune out. It makes falling asleep very easy, and if you have the air conditioner on, you can't hear the purifier at all. At its lowest setting, it blows out a nice stream of air but is utterly and completely silent. You couldn't even hear it at nighttime in a small, quiet room with the door shut. Amazing. They say you never regret buying the best. They know what they're talking about. This is worth every penny and then some. 5 stars, all day." —The Cre8ive One

Price: $159.99 (originally $229.99; also available in black)

Promising review: "I have several Jackery products, and this one is my newest. I had a chance to use it camping, where it powered my portable fridge and diesel heater, and it worked really well. I recently used it during a random power outage to keep my home fridge running for four hours (when the power came back on). After nearly four hours, the unit still had 80% power remaining. It should be noted that Jackery changed the charging port design slightly from the last generation of solar generators, and my older SolarSaga 100W panels would not pair with the unit to charge it. Really happy with the newer tech in the unit and its functionality. For its capabilities, it's not too heavy and packs easily into my vehicle without taking up needed space. Will be purchasing more Jackery equipment in the future." —Jeff M.

Promising review: "These clip-ins are amazing! Not only was the quality of the hair is great but my install looked super natural. Washed the hair several times and have not experienced any tangles and this hair holds a curl. Highly recommend." —Cremeria

Price: $52.44 (typically $93.99; available in 30 styles). 

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 review: "I’ve been using the COSRX Airy Light Clear Sunscreen Stick every day since I received it, and I’m in love! My face is usually oily, but this sunscreen helps so much—it leaves a nice matte finish without any white cast. It rolls on smoothly with no flakes or clumps, and it’s perfect for reapplying during the day. This has become my holy grail sunscreen, and I’ll definitely keep repurchasing. Highly recommend if you have oily skin and want something lightweight and easy to use!" —Maira Moreno

Price: $16.10 (originally $23; also available as a lotion and in a two-pack with the lotion and stick — see all Cosrx deals here)

Promising reviews: "This is probably the best purchase I have ever made on Amazon. This is very well made. Like incredibly well made. It stores sooo much stuff!!! My daughter loved it, and now I am eyeing one for myself. My daughter had jewelry and trinkets everywhere in her room. This put everything neatly in one space. It's elegant and well-made. Mirror + jewelry holder = game changer." —Linnette

"I love, love, LOVE this jewelry cabinet!! It is perfect in EVERY way! There is a ton of space for all sorts of various styles of jewelry, and the LED lights in the top are super helpful to light up the inside...this is a MUST BUY in my opinion!" —Erika

Price: $71.99+ (originally $99.99; only available at this price in white)

Promising review: "Wonderful bedtime fan or anytime really. I had been looking for a quality tower fan where the display actually turned off with some sort of sleep mode, and this works perfectly for that. The power is fantastic for the price, and it's relatively quiet even on its highest setting. My favorite part of the sleep mode, however, is that it will auto-adjust the fan speed based on the temperature. Temp goes down, fan speed drops with it, goes up, it goes back up. No more waking up with a fan blasting on high, but instead I will wake up with it at least 2-3 levels lower than where I went to sleep. Makes for a much gentler wake-up. Setup is a breeze as well, just take it out of the case, clip the base plates together, and stand it up. Remote is easy to use even in the dark, no LED on it, but buttons are pronounced enough and few enough, it's pretty easy to tell which you need in the middle of the night. The fan itself also includes a storage for the remote in the back, so you won't lose it." —Alan

Price: $54.96 (originally $74.99; also available in black, two sizes and with wifi capabilities)

This Italian skincare brand is based in Alba, a town in Piedmont, Italy, and is centered around their most prized ingredient, white truffle (also known as the "underground diamond").

Promising review: "Love this spray that hydrates my skin and gives my makeup look the best it’s ever looked. I wear a lot of makeup on stage, and I’m constantly sweating from all the dancing, so this spray comes in clutch every time and keeps me going for hours. I like to spray it in between my makeup process, and especially after powders. I’ve tried a lot of sprays, and this is the one I reach for every time!" —Deniece

Price: $13.99+ (originally $20+; available in three sizes and four styles).

Promising review: "I’m starting to see a difference in my skin, looks brighter and more even. The serum feels gentle, no itching or dryness. It absorbs well and works great when followed with a moisturizer. So far, I’m really happy with the results." —Layret

Promising review: "I love these boots! I can wear them all day, and I have plantar fasciitis. They keep my feet dry, and they have held up well for a year. If these ever wear out, I'm buying another pair." —Holly

Promising review: "Very well made, stylish, comfortable and works great. I have neuropathy and other problems in my feet and these don't affect them much even with my lift. Great buy" —Dixie carriere

Price: $80.85+ (originally $110; available in women's sizes 5-12, including wide sizes, and four colors/styles with various deals)

Promising review: "I’ve had this in my cart/saved for at least two years and something prompted me to finally bite the bullet and purchase it. I’m so glad I did! It’s removed old pet stains from rugs, come in handy with a sick, vomiting toddler, literal spilled milk on the carpet. It works wonders and I’m really impressed with the suction it has and what it’s able to pull out. Super light weight, easy to use, easy to store. It’s an awesome little product." —Apd

Price: $117.78 (originally $159.99; also available in three other styles)

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

See what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says about it: "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: "Busy tired mom approved! I have a teenager, a toddler, and a baby under a year old 🥴. Plus I run two businesses with my hubby. Mama's tired!! This is so fast and easy, doesn’t clog pores, and goes on smooth. Definitely need to blend edges around the hair line but I like! Gives a dewy feel without drying out your skin. Give it a try for sure. The spray is a bit messy, eh still good stuff." —Sadie M

Price: $22.99 (originally $30; available in 12 shades — see all Jerome Alexander deals here)

In order to get the full SPF of foundation/makeup products, you need to use more than you'd normally put on your face, so note that this should be paired with an actual sunscreen underneath.

Promising reviews: "In addition to having 50 SPF, this product is wonderful for giving the coverage needed with just a tiny bit in the palm of your hand and a good makeup brush. I have used it for two to three years and absolutely love it. I also get lots of compliments on my skin, and I am over 70." —Marty

"I have been using this foundation for probably at least eight years, and I love it!!! I have tried a few other foundations over the years, and I keep coming back to this one. What I love about it is that it’s full coverage — yet still feel lightweight. It’s also super easy for me to color-match with this foundation. It has SPF in it also, which is super nice! Give this a try!!" —Somer

Promising review: "I just don't know what to say. I've had dozens of different Bluetooth speakers, like we've all had at this point, but this little rectangle I'm holding in my hand is completely blowing my mind right now. The sounds are so deep across my entire living room at 50% volume. This thing sounds like it has a subwoofer in it that rivals a weak 10-inch sub. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I know music. I played the violin for 10 years and continue to make music to this day. The sound coming out of this little handheld speaker defies everything I thought I knew about speakers. This is the one guys. " —rhonda rae

Price: $29.99 (typically $39.99; available in four other colors)

Promising review: "Love this chair! I researched lots and lots of chairs and decided to give this one a try, and I have absolutely no regrets. I am a tall woman and wanted a chair with a tall back, lumbar support, and the capability to raise the seat high enough, so that my legs are perpendicular to the floor when my feet are flat on the ground. This chair does all that. The chair is also very light to maneuver around, which is another plus. I have had it for four months now and would definitely purchase this chair again." —Dissatisfied with Shipping

Price: $215.50+ (original $269.50+; available in 17 styles/colors)

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says about these: "My son is prone to getting *very* high fevers, so I've always needed to have a reliable thermometer on hand. I truly love the Frida Baby one (and, honestly, everything the brand makes), as it can be used in more than one way. I like having the option to take his temperature on his forehead and in his ear, then compare the two to feel like I have a pretty accurate reading. It lights up green if the temperature is good and red if it's a bit too high (or low!). It's so easy to use. My 3-year-old has learned how to use it on his own (he likes to check his stuffed animals for fevers, haha). I've literally never had to change the batteries, and I've had it for over a year!"

Promising review: "So easy to use!! Popped it straight out of the box and was able to use it without instructions. In fact, even my 3-year-old was able to use it on her own without my help. Definitely a must-have!" —Nichelle

Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! Helps me see how active I am throughout the day and how many calories I burn. A good reminder to be mindful about what I consume in a day verses how much exercise I’m getting. Very beneficial, highly recommended." —Jackie
