    Reviewer before and after showing the mask made their skin look tighter and reduced the appearance of some wrinkles

    2. Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 transforms damaged hair for a touchable, visible difference when you leave it on for at least 10 minutes because it helps relink broken bonds.

    4. Teeth whitening pens easily apply and let sit a minute or two to dry. Buh-bye annoying strips and coffee stains.

    You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

    Promising review: "These are my new holy grail. I have always dreaded whitening my teeth due to the fact that I have very sensitive gums. With this it doesn't hurt or cause any sensitivity. As long as you don’t go too close to your gum line, it’s fine. Plus, I love how this is so easy and convenient to use on the go. Will buy again when I run out." —Amazon Customer

    5. leave-in conditioner made for kids (and grownups) with curly hair and tender heads gives you some picturesque results thanks to its hydrating and detangling formula of vitamin B5, jojoba oil, keratin, and more.

    Promising review: "Holy grail for curls! If your child has curls, GET THIS! I had tried what felt like everything to make my son's very curly hair look cute and curly and not crazy frizzy and curly, and nothing seemed to work, UNTIL THIS! So amazing! I put it in his hair after washing or use it to refresh his curls!" —Alexis Martin-Klose

    Get it from Amazon for $7.59.

    6. An exfoliating scrub mitt helps you part with excess dead skin and particles while you use it a couple of times a month (it's that good so you don't have to use it often!). Reviewers find it super helpful for removing self-tanner, addressing ingrown hairs, and increasing circulation. 

    Promising review: "My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use; it's true. All the grime, rolled-up skin, flakes, and chucks — shudder, that was on me??? Everything other customers are saying about how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use, though — I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about six weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, MUST HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this! Did I say I recommend this 100%? I do!" —Kindle Customer. g'ma

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    Get it from First Aid Beauty for $10+ (available in three sizes) or Amazon for $30 (only available in the larger size).

    13. A tube of Monistat chafing relief gel powder gives ya' similar prep work and staying power as luxury primers the likes of Smashbox Photo Finish Primer.

    Former BuzzFeed writer Nusrat Sultana is a big fan! She said: 

    "I have this in several colors and always love how it colors my lips and lasts all day without me having to reapply because of the stain effect. You don't need to worry if the color is there. If your lips feel dry, just rub some lip balm over them — the color stays! You can also build up the color for intensity or swipe it once and blot for a natural-looking gradient stain."

    Promising review: "New holy grail lipstick! I'm not normally one to write reviews, but I'm so pleased with this product that I felt obligated to! I even came back to grab a few more colors because the price point is great! I'm obsessed with matte lipsticks! What I'm not obsessed with is how most matte lipsticks leave your lips dry, cakey, and flakey! NOT THIS ONE. The texture of this product is phenomenal! So lightweight, barely feels like anything is on my lips when it dries. Substantially more comfortable than typical lipsticks. Instead of intensifying the cracks in my lips, it smoothed right over them. It leaves my lips looking plumped and perfectly matte. A little bit of this product goes a long way, so be sure not to apply too much! I found applying a dab in the center of your lips and using your finger to spread and pat around gives the best effect! I like this lipstick even more than my Jeffree Star Liquid lipsticks! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight matte lipstick." —kelsey

    Get it from Amazon for $8.91 (available in 12 shades. Find more shades here).

    18. Verb Ghost Oil makes quick work of taming frizz and flyaways. This is THE BEST hair oil if you have coarse, thick hair like me. Reviewers with hair textures up to 4c rave about it!

    19. Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré – it combats all sorts of dry-skin woes, whether it's because your skin is just that way or you're trying to undo overuse of retinol or other harsh skincare ingredients. You can even use it as a makeup primer or mask.

    23. Radha Rosehip Oil is an all-natural solution to a ton of skin problems. It helps hydrate skin, reduces the look of wrinkles and scars, and reviewers even say it helps their hair and nails.

    25. Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color-Correcting Treatment goes on cooling and smooth, is easy to blend in, and will make you look in the mirror five minutes later wondering where all that redness went! I use it daily as a moisturizer under my foundation and some reviewers even use it as a CC cream. It's *that* good. And it has SPF 30!

    26. Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor provides a beautiful color you'll wanna show off...and then replicate in all the other hues.

    32. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream soothes dry, cracked hands *while* making them look so much more presentable. I'm going to assume you've been washing your hands often and correctly all along, but maybe you haven't and your hands are super dry these days. (No, this is not an accusation.)

    36. Stila One Step, Color-Correcting Facial Serum works as a makeup primer that's a step above the rest for anyone looking to create an even-tone canvas for foundation...or find a color-correcting solution that'd leave you makeup-free.

    37. Glossier Solution scrubs pores and skin with a trio of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) to help loosen the yucky stuff to make way for lightened scars, smaller-looking pores, and fewer blemishes.

    38. Bio-Oil — it may just become your hypoallergenic, nongreasy, and dermatologist-recommended go-to for lessening the appearance of scars and stretch marks. Or it can also just serve as an amazing body moisturizer.

    39. Act+Acre Cold Processed Hair Cleanse and Hair Conditioner team up for an effective duo that reviewers with dry, itchy scalps praise for their soothing qualities.

    40. InstaNatural Vitamin C Serum offers up some seriously soothing and moisturizing abilities on the reg with its hyaluronic acid, but especially when you suffer a skin flare-up. Get behind me, Satan!

    42. Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo stops the flaky mess, once and for all.

    43. Baby Foot is a lavender-scented foot peel that revitalizes dried, calloused feet for, TBH, a pretty disgusting transformation. (You're gonna want to send the pics to your group chat.)

    44. And a giant foot file with review photos that'll shake your whole being. Like the one here!

    45. Thayers Witch Hazel, a multitasking toner that handles several steps in your skincare routine: cleansing, moisturizing, fading blemishes, and helping restore your skin's natural pH.

    46. Tend Skin Solution, a more or less magical product helps erase razor irritation and ingrown hairs .

    47. Humane Acne Wash, a strong, 10% benzoyl peroxide cleanser that's totally vegan friendly — the only thing it's cruel to is acne.

    48. Baebody Eye Gel, a depuffing, hydrating, and firming serum you can use on other places besides your eyes, like your face and neck!

    49. Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips is, simply put, an extremely satisfying skincare treatment.

    50. A pack of blotting papers makes you wonder how you lived without it until now.

    58. Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick stays on in a super-velvety way that won't dry out your lips or call for post-lunch application. Seriously, it stays put and I always get compliments when I wear it!

    59. Lovoir Winged Eyeliner Stamp imprints a perfectly symmetrical wing so you can use some of your time on better things. Oh, if only you could give Past You this product! But we can't dwell on things like that.

    60. Biossance Squalane Oil (thanks to its namesake) packs in the same kind of moisture naturally found in human skin to keep your visage feeling soft, smooth, and plump. Reviewers say it helps with redness, too!

    61. Biotin Shampoo made with tea tree, jojoba, and argan oils and *without* sulfates. Reviewers say it helps with hair loss and preventing dandruff. (Gotta love a testimonial with photographic evidence!)
