The things to see you through vacations and heatwaves.

I have been a BuzzFeed Shopping contributor since 2022.

Promising review: "Saw this on BuzzFeed and gave it a try — happy I did! This is a great neutral for any length nails. It’s opaque enough that two coats look great, no brush strokes, but not dead white. It covers ridges very well, and my nails seemed to grow better when I kept them covered in this. It’s worth the $$." —Diablita

Promising review: "Works as advertised. I find it makes the dark marks disappear much quicker after a breakout. I bought this for mild under-eye wrinkles and have definitely seen the difference. Been using it for two months or so, and now it's part of my holy grail products. I also noticed that I have had less breakouts since I started using this product." —M. Russell

Promising review: "Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I’ve had little success with anything topical that will provide relief to my irritated skin. My sister recommended it to me when I was looking for a moisturizer after a severe sunburn that left my nose blistered and raw. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon my face is almost completely healed. The cream prevented peeling, and helped clear up my rosacea skin irritation! I’m completely amazed! I’ve applied less than a dime size over my face four times! My skin has truly never felt better! It’s got to be witchcraft because not even the different RXs I’ve tried over the years have produced these results. *I will note there was a very mild sting that lasted a couple of seconds when initially applying but that was likely due to the raw skin. It was completely bearable." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.50+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "The only deodorant that both works for me and doesn’t irritate my armpits. I apply it at night, and it works all day effortlessly. Great value for money as they last a pretty long time and the scent lasts all day."  —Emilie

It's safe to use on your bikini line, upper lip, chin, face, armpits, back, chest, stomach, arms, and legs. Do not use it on your eyebrows or on tanned or tattooed skin.

Promising reviews: "I have been eager to try one of these, yet equally skeptical whether it would actually work. I finally ordered one, and I’m already noticing results, which has kept me motivated to continue using the device.

It’s very simple to use, but it's definitely a slow process if you want to use this on a larger area, like the legs. My legs take me about an hour total to do one session. For smaller areas, it’s pretty quick and much easier to commit to treating routinely! I have done several sessions on my chin and mustache area since it’s so quick to do, and I have already noticed much slower hair growth! I will update the results on other areas once I’ve completed more sessions.

It’s really not painful to use, as long as you’ve shaved the area well. I tested the device on levels 3, 6, and 9 during my first use. I was able to use level 9 all over. I honestly didn’t feel anything, except in a couple of areas where I had missed hairs when shaving. These spots felt like a small rubber band snap. If you use this on any areas that still have hair, it seems to burn the hair and produces a smell of burning hair.

Overall I’m really impressed with this and will continue using. So far, it seems to be worth the price. It’s not the fanciest gadget, but it gets the job done. It also came with everything needed, including protective eyeglasses, power cord, cleaning cloth, and a razor." —Ktreviews

Get it from Amazon for $79.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Someone had asked about doing natural twists with this product…I use just enough product in each section by itself. Then I spray my oil on it after I’m done. No flaking. I love it!! When I tell you about my low porosity 4C hair, I just love this product... I give this product 10. ⭐️" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I am 60 and notice that no matter how much diet and exercise I do, I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $22+ (available in three sizes and packs of two).

Promising review: "I would use hair spray to hold my eyebrows, and throughout the day, I would sweat through it, and it wouldn’t last. I tried this because the price was great and I’m glad i did. This product is awesome. I’ve had it on my brows for a nine-hour shift, and they are still in place! It doesn’t dry and get flakey, nor does it feel uncomfortable on the skin. Lastly, I use brow powder, and this does NOT affect the look of the powder, nor does it smudge it. I will FOREVER buy this product." —Shelby

Get it from Amazon for $8.35+ (available in eight shades and multipacks).

Promising review: "I've always needed dry shampoo for my top roots, which get oily far before the rest of my hair. THIS is by FAR the best I've ever used. The applicator is genius — it goes on so easily. And I've NEVER had a dry shampoo last like this for DAYS! It's easy to work in with my fingers and it is a wonderful volumizer. The size is great for travel. I hope they never change the formula — it is just wonderful — even the very light, delicate fragrance is perfect. I give it 100 STARS for its safety, convenience, design AND for all the time it saves me." —Lexi Jean

Get it from Amazon for $16 (available in six scents).

Promising review: "I have used Kerasal for three days, and fungal [damage] is 95% gone! Very easy-to-use dispenser that eliminates mess during application. You can apply yourself effortlessly. Gonna tell other family members with toe-nail problems about this! I would give it 10 stars if there were room!!!" —Dennis Downing

Promising review: "I love 💕 these little razors for all that peach 🍑 fuzz. My face looks so smooth now!!! They’re really easy to use. I had no idea there was such a product! My esthetician used something similar on my face, and I thought 💭 I can do that!! So glad I found it!" —Patti16

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.87 (also available as a pack of nine).

Promising review: "Really like this sunscreen! I have fairly sensitive skin and it doesn’t bother me. Feels super oily at first, but turns into a matte, silicone-like finish. Also, does not break me out! Sometimes my makeup does slide a bit, but I just powder those areas. I’ve found that happens with most silicone primers anyway. I would also go as far as to say this is poor minimizing when used in combination with foundation!! Oh, I’ve worked out several times with this on, and my eyes do not burn." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have thick curly hair and was skeptical about using this product, but it is a game-changer! I will recommend this product to every single person I know. This helps keep my baby hairs flat even in Chicago winds!" —Cait

Get it from Amazon for $6.88 (also available in three other formulas/styles). 

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: "I've been using this for a couple of years now and apply it every few months even in the winter. It does a great job softening the skin, making it easier to remove. It has made a huge difference in the look and feel of my feet. I highly recommend this product. So do yourself a favor and get some now! You'll only be sad that you didn't order it sooner and end those embarrassing, cracked heel, rough feet struggles you've been suffering through summer after summer." —Courtney

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three scents, two sizes, and a bundle with a foot file).

Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it "the miracle product I've been searching for."

Promising review: "My hair has been so dry, staticky, knotty, and generally dull this winter. Awful. Figured I'd try this, given all the positive reviews and the super low price. I only left it in for about five minutes while I was shaving, but even that left my hair so soft, easy to brush, and shiny. I will definitely leave for at least 10 minutes next time. Would highly recommend. Scent is nice but very subtle. Not sure why anyone would say it smells bad (maybe one reviewer). Try it out, you really can't go wrong." —Celia

It's lightweight, nongreasy, doubles as a heat protectant, and can last through three to four shampoos!

Promising reviews: "What I love most about this product is its ability to keep my hair from frizzing. I have wavy hair that can tend to frizz. I’ve only used this recently during the cold winter months. As we go into the warmer and hot summer seasons, it will be put to the true test." —Felicia

"I have extremely dry, coarse, and frizzy hair. My hair is also lightweight, which adds to the frizz. I used it twice this week, and I was pleased with how well it worked. I've used other products that say they will keep your hair smooth and straight, but they didn't work for me. This product, however, works for me, and I plan to purchase more in the future." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).

See a TikTok review of the shaver! For best results, the brand recommends stretching your skin with one hand, laying the blade flat, and then shaving against the grain. 

Promising review: "I tell everyone about this! No nicks, cuts, or razor bumps! The battery life is surprisingly long, too! I use this ALL over my body. Trust me when I tell you it saves you time and pain compared to a normal razor!! Seriously, never going back to a plastic one after this!" —Holly

Promising review: "My family's go-to treatment for poison ivy itchy rash, which someone seems to always get in the summertime." —georgiapeach

"Much easier than using creams. It leaves much less product residue on the skin, so clothes can be worn quickly after use." —A. T. B.

Promising reviews: "I can’t say enough about this bath soap. It smells terrific, and when you’re done washing, you feel very clean. It helped clear up acne on my daughter's skin and works on athletes' feet as well. It also speeds up the healing of the skin from chafing under breasts and stomach, so if you sweat a lot, this is the product you want! I’m on my fifth bottle!" —AnnMarie Mason

Get it from Amazon for $14.63 (also available in a two-pack).

Megababe is a woman-owned small biz started by Katie Sturino with tons of personal care products, including the OG Thigh Rescue stick. 

Promising review: "This stuff is a lifesaver. I’ve always used the deodorant-looking version of their thigh rescue, which is good, but this is so much better! Thick thighs are no small issue, and being able to wear my cute summer outfits without chafing is a miracle. It seriously lasts so long, too. This will be added to my subscription." —Renae Stott

Here's what BuzzFeed staffer Emma Lord has to say about them: "As a blister-prone human, I swear by these. A few years ago, before I invested in these running socks that prevent blisters, I got a blister on my big toe so unspeakably large and painful that I am cringing even TYPING about it, and no amount of rest from running seemed to heal it; it just kept coming back. I finally used one of these bandages, and the pain was virtually gone from the moment I put it on. It was also so airtight that nothing got inside, and it didn't loosen in the shower. You're supposed to take it off when it loses adhesive so it can come off gently without disturbing the blister if it hasn't fully healed yet. After using two of these in a row over the course of a week and a half, my blister was finally healed up enough that it stopped coming back."

Promising review: "I got a big heel blister while breaking in some new work boots. It would have been painful to keep wearing the boots with traditional Band-Aids. These Dr. Frederick's heel bandages work like magic. They are literally like a padded extra layer of skin. Put one on and you can't even feel the blister anymore. Could put the boots back on and go right back to work. And they fit so well that toward the end of the healing period, I forgot and even took a shower with it on and still stuck on fine. Like I say, like a layer of temporary skin." —Kevin Weatherman

Promising review: "This is a great product and gift for a beach lover. Works great and is a decent size for brushing away the sand after an amazing day at the beach! Going to buy it as a gift!! Easy to use and affordable!" —Sue Krauser 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five designs, two-packs, and three-packs).

Promising review: "These work awesome at taking oil away from your face without disturbing makeup if you're wearing any. I also like how they're small enough to keep in your pocket or purse and packaged so it's easy to take one out and keep the rest safely enclosed."  —Target Reviewer

Promising review: "Buy it, that is all I need to say. Buy it now!!!! Wow. That little moveable head soaks up all of your facial oil buildup throughout the day. It's small enough to keep in your purse and discreet enough to use it at any time." —mammag3

This multi-use spray can also be used as a makeup primer or as a setting spray!

Promising reviews: "This is the second time I've purchased this product. I absolutely love the scent and the way it feels. It is so refreshing, and I've never had an issue with it, and I have pretty sensitive skin. I love to spray this on my face before I go to bed because it cools me down and has that relaxing/calming scent." —KellyJo

"Feels refreshing and smells nice. Great on a hot day after a shower or workout." —david nespoli

Get them from Amazon for $7+ (available in two sizes and also as a two-pack).

Promising review: "Love my FlexStyle! I recently got this to replace my old Revlon brush, and I can attest that this styles 10x better and leaves my hair feeling less dry. It definitely takes some getting used to. I am just now learning how to efficiently use the curl attachments. But when I use them, they work soo well even on my very long hair."  —Madi

Get it from Ulta Beauty for $199.99 (originally $349.99).

Promising reviews: "I love this powder so much. It is amazing. It goes on silky smooth, it smells so good, and it’s not overpowering. It does keep you dry. When outside, there is no boob sweat, and if you pat some on in other areas you sweat, you won’t. If you have night sweats, use this; it works. I put some on in the morning and again at night. I’m so glad I purchased this. I will be stocking up." —Edie

"This stuff is great! It works! Does what it says it will, preventing sweating in discreet areas. Smells fresh and I’m so glad I tried this!"  —L. T. Buchert
