1. Some Grace & Stella energizing under eye masks made to be cooling, revitalizing, and ~awakening~ so that you can have an extra boost of anti-puffy powers first thing in the morning. LOTS of reviewers use these to feel more like themselves if they've been kept up late and woken early by small kiddos, so grab for yourself or as a pick-me-up treat for the exhausted parents in your life!
Promising reviews: "As a tired mom of three - with another on the way - who can’t seem to get enough sleep, these have been amazing to help my eyes looks more energized which helps my whole face and helps me feel so much better that I don’t look like a mess all day!! I just apply them first thing in the morning and rush around while I get my kids off to school. So easy to use!!" —Caitlin
"Amazing!! I love these so much! They are easy to apply and if you stick them the fridge it’s self care heaven! So happy that Walmart carries them now! Definitely a repurchase!!" —deidre
Price: $9.86 for six pairs
2. A brand-new Milani Highly Rated Lash Extension XL tubing mascara (the big sister to the TikTok-viral OG formula) I love so much, I have it in black *and* brown. If you love stunning, long wear that won't damage your lashes in the process, Milani is where it's at.
Promising review: "The best mascara, no clumps just lots of volume and separates great." —Walmart customer
Price: $13.97 (available in black and brown)
3. A four-pack of Burt's Bees moisturizing lip balm reviewers call ~the perfect lip balm~ thanks to its pocketable size and extreme moisturizing superpowers.
Promising review: "This product is the best moisturizing lip balm for me. I do not use anything else. I love this lip balm. The minty taste and smell are soothing to my senses. The size is perfect, it fits in a pocket, purse, even in my sock, so perfectly. Thanks!" —kafui
Price: $10.48 for a 4-pack (also available in a 2- and 3-pack)
4. And some fragrance-free Burt's Bees makeup removing cleansing wipes designed to be SUPER gentle so you can wipe away the makeup and grime of the day without causing a breakout. (Because who has time for THAT?!)
Promising review: "These face wipes are used daily by myself and my elderly mom. We were using another brand, but wanted to find some less irritating and with better ingredients. I saw these and bought them to try. They're awesome and take off my makeup with ease. They don't have a chemical smell and they leave my skin feeling soft. I highly recommend this brand." —anonymous
Price: $5.47 for a 30-pack (also available in rosewater and coconut and lotus options)
5. A Dreame AirStyle Pro 7-in-1 hair styler: Y'all. Y'all. I'm obsessed with this thing. Yes, I've tried that other brand — and the other-other brand — but this is lighter, and I promise: It works way better. Especially the air-curling function. Oh, and you can't beat the price either. Grab one for yourself *and* get ahead of your holiday list (gulp) by going ahead and putting one in your cart for your fave haircare human, too. It's gonna be the perfect gift for you *and* your pals.

6. A pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatments that finally broke me of my pimple-popping habit because these work so much better and leave your face less red. Just put them on for six hours or so (I use mine at night) and watch as they work their gunk-removal magic on pimples that have come to a head!
Promising review: "I have tried every pimple patch, and this is the one!! I can't believe how much it reduces the pimple and gets rid of it overnight. This definitely wasn't something I expected when I tried it. I am highly satisfied and blown away at how well this works compared to other brands I have tried. I'm never using any brand other than this now." —stephanie
Price: $8.97+ (available in three pack sizes)
7. An E.l.f. lip oil that will feel nourishing to your lips, your outfit, and your wallet. Lots of reviewers say they went back for more shades after trying one, so you can't go wrong with adding more ✨vibrant✨ colors to your makeup arsenal.
Promising review: "I've never written a review SO FAST. I have struggled to find the perfect shade for me. Everything I've bought, I've tossed or given away. This shade, Jam Session, is so perfect. I was worried it would be too dark, but it goes on so much lighter than how it looks in the container, which also means it will last me forever — I won't have to use it as much. You have no idea how thrilled I am. And at this price point? Pffft. I'll get a few more to stash here and there. For reference, my lips are typically pretty pale." —Christina
Price: $8 (originally $9; available in 10 shades)
8. A combo firming/SPF moisturizer that will do double duty for your skin and your wallet.
Promising review: "I love this moisturizer especially now that it has an SPF of 30 in it. I've been using the Regenerist line for years and will continue to do so." —LadyTrainer
Price: $27.44
9. A refreshing bath gel that's a cult favorite and comes in a fancy bottle that looks as luxurious as this gel smells.
10. A Braun Skin Smart IPL device, if you want to ditch the razor and embrace the power of safe and easy at-home hair removal. Whether you want to target your face, underarms, legs, or intimate areas, this gadget has got you covered for the summer and beyond.
All at-home laser hair removal devices like this one work *only* for people with light skin tones and dark hair. Read more at Cleveland Clinic.
I've been using this on my legs, toes, and underarms for a few weeks now and I'm OBSESSED. The app is easy to use, I don't feel like I'm ever confused or unsure about next steps (thank you, built-in scheduler), and the results are REALLY, TRULY remarkable. I am well on my way to going weeks without shaving, I can feel it.
Oh, *and* it's not painful to use. I'm a wimp and have no problem, even on the squishy bits around my knees or under my arms.
Promising review: "Patience is the key to this working. So, take your time. Do it right and enjoy the results!" —Jennifer
Price: $449.99 (originally $599.94)
11. A pot of E.l.f. cleansing balm because we shouldn't spend more money on removing the makeup than applying it.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product! I wear full-face makeup daily and this makeup melting cleansing balm removes it like nothing else! My skin feels soft and hydrated but not oily. This also does not leave a nasty film-like texture on my skin after use, either, which I highly appreciate. It even removes lash glue with ease!" —Lexis
Price: $10.97
12. A CoverGirl lip butter balm because your lips are in need of a little TLC right now. Nourishing and plumping, this formula combines shea butter, hyaluronic acid, and fatty acids to keep your lips perfectly kissable.
Promising review: "Very thick, cushiony, and buttery. My lips look and feel nourished. I love the marshmallow scent. It's clear on my lips. It's great for day or night. I bought a spare to keep one in my handbag and one on the nightstand. The applicator is very soft and squishy." —Evee
Price: $8.97 (available in five flavors)

13. A luxe collagen moisturizer because it's basically fairy magic in a jar. This one smells divine and is almost mousse-like in its texture. If I weren't already a skincare girly, this would've made me one. (Especially for that steal of a price!)
Promising reviews: "I got this when the cream I'd used for years — decades — was no longer available. It was in my price range and makes my skin feel like a million dollars!! It's rich, not greasy. Give it a go, and you'll keep coming back to it, no matter what your price range is!" —Esme
"I really love this cream. I love beauty products, but I don't like spending a lot, and I use a ton. I love the price and the whipped creamy texture. It feels luxurious at night and adds a nice glow to the skin under makeup. One of my favorite products!" —Anna
Price: $15.25
14. A Physicians Formula concealer to help "glow over" any blemishes or tone differences while also nourishing your skin with fatty acids and pro-vitamins. We love a beauty science moment!
Promising reviews: "I am a 44-year-old pro makeup artist. This concealer is fantastic, especially for more mature or dryer skin. It blends easily, and it is very moisturizing without settling into fine lines. Highly recommend!" —Judith
"The best concealer I've ever used! And it's nontoxic which makes it even better! Love love it!" —Anonymous
Price: $9.99+ (available in three shades)
15. A milky toner that is actually, really, truly hydrating and will quickly become a holy grail in your daily routine.
Note that I'm showing you my travel-size bottle because I love her so much I carry her in my literal bag for emergencies. This stuff is gentle but effective enough that if I end up with raccoon mascara eyes thanks to Texas weather or tearing up at a movie, this stuff can get it in one swipe and not leave me feeling icky afterward. (But get the regular-sized bottle for day-to-day use. YOU'LL THANK ME LATER.)
Promising review: "This is a great product! Most toners just soak into your skin, and you can't really tell if it's doing anything or not. You can feel the moisture the second you put it on! It does absorb nicely but leaves a fresh, dewy finish! It has a very light, natural fragrance that's not overwhelming. It works great under makeup, too! This is an excellent product at a great price! The 80-hour moisturizer is a MUST as well! I will be 50 years old this year and have been diligently using skincare products since my early 20s! Needless to say, I have tried a lot! This will be on my repurchase list!" —Sherri
Price: $9.97
16. A Dr. Dennis pro facial steamer for a spa-like experience in your own home! Whether you want to make sure your pores are open to all your fave skincare or just want to elevate your self-care to the next level with some deliciously warm steam, this handy (and portable!) gadget totally deserves a spot in your lineup.
LOVE using this to unwind and it really does feel like my skin soaks up all my potions better after using. Bonus points: If you're a parent with a congested kid, this can also double as a nice way to encourage their sinuses to relax. Ask me how I know.
Price: $144.95
17. A Nyx jumbo eyeshadow stick perfect for a "swipe and go" routine that will give you a pop of color for less than a to-go coffee.
Promising reviews: "It does its job to give more highlight in my eye area. I do have dark, dark brown eyes which are almost black, and it totally enhances the shape of my eyes." —Apple
"I saw this in black and decided to give it a try. I needed black eyeliner/shadow/whatever for around my eyes and on my face for my plague doctor outfit for Halloween. I usually just use cheap eye shadow, but it doesn't last long and rubs off too easily. This pencil is fantastic. It went on smoothly and easily (I didn't even need to blend it), and it washed off slightly less easily (I used makeup remover to get it all off). But it is fantastic, and it did exactly what I hoped it would do." —PahzTakesPhotos
Price: $5.97+ (available in 14 colors)

18. A tried and true Cetaphil cleanser because listen, if it's good enough for the impeccable Julianne Moore, it's good enough for the rest of us. Not to mention that it goes toe-to-toe with pricier brands on the regular and still manages to come out on top.
I started using this after trying lots of fancy cleansers from Those Big Makeup Stores because it seemed like the easiest part of my routine to cut back and save some dollars. However, I am so obsessed with this stuff, and it keeps my skin so stupidly clear, that I'd pay double for it now. (But great news! We don't have to!!)
Promising review: "I have been using this for YEARS. It's my absolute favorite daily face wash! So gentle on the skin but cleans so well!" —ellie
Price: $3.97+ (available in four sizes)

"Smells great and leaves your hair nice and soft. It didn't leave my hair looking greasy at all." —Martina
Price: $6.97
20. A bottle of EOS shea butter body lotion in vanilla cashmere to make your skin deliciously soft through the upcoming colder months and to make you smell ~amazing.~ Reviewers rave about the vanilla scent being the perfect balance of warm without being overpowering.
Promising reviews: "This lotion is heaven sent!! I apply after showering now and it leaves me smelling like vanilla throughout the entire day." —Abby
"One of the most underrated brands out there. Please do yourself a favor and run to get this. Every time I have this on, someone says how good it smells, and that's every day." —Gina
Price: $9.97
21. A slab of "the world's best" pumice stone because the skin on your feet needs love, too. This one comes highly recommended, which frankly is what I want in a product I'm going to be putting so close to my cute self-done pedicure that took 70 billion hours to do.
Check out a TikToker adding this to their haul here!
Promising reviews: "This thing is magic and gave me really soft feet. My feet were so soft I almost slipped in the shower. Would definitely buy again." —Ssmith
"This has been the best stone I've found. I have been buying these for years. You can maintain your pedicures or give yourself one, and it will last. Feet are baby-soft. Use the green side first, then the white. I keep it in my shower and use it every few days as maintenance. I even bought one for my mom and sister." —Asjiah
Price: $4.97
22. A rich L'Oreal Paris satin lipstick in literally so many shades, you can find the perfect one to give your lips a plush, moisturized boost of color.
23. A Dead Sea mineral mask because 1. it's good for your skin and 2. application increases the chance of spontaneous 90s-movies-esque sleepovers by a solid 50%. (It's science.)
Promising reviews: "I used this for the first time, and I love it; you can feel it tightening on your skin as it dries, and your face feels so much smoother and looks so much cleaner when you're done. I would highly recommend this product." —MsSpigner22
"Love the fun, bright blue color! At first, I worried it might tint my skin, but it doesn't at all! Easy to apply and wash off afterward! It dried nicely, and my skin felt amazing afterward! Great value for the price!" —Annamarie
Price: $10
24. A snail mucin toner that will give you the enviable "glass skin" we've all seen on the internet. This stuff helps fight acne, even skin tone, and improve your skin barrier so that you're basically turning yourself into a skincare superhero every time you use it.
Promising review: "I have been spending $50 on toner for the longest time, but a friend recommended this one, and I'm so glad I gave it a shot. I have very sensitive and acne-prone skin, and this clears my face and keeps my acne at bay. It's also very inexpensive. Double win!!!" —Rebecca
Price: $13.88
25. A bottle of Bio-Oil that a friend practically threw at me when I complained of my nose being scaly in the winter. I have since used this on very old scars and can confirm this is a miracle elixir that should cost much more than 12 buckeroos. Sometimes I put a couple of drops in my daily moisturizer ~just for fun~ because it also smells amazing.
Promising reviews: "For several years, I've looked at and considered Bio-Oil. However, I finally took the plunge. I have scars from surgery and bug bites. I have a fair complexion so scars show up prominently. I was amazed only after one application. After two and three applications, the scars are almost gone. I highly recommend." —MrsBlondie
"Absolutely love this product, used it for all of my pregnancies to help with stretch marks, and for acne scars, it works wonders!" —Allie
Price: $11.12

27. A Nyx clear eyebrow gel to set your brows in place and keep them there, but without any of the gross flaking and crusts you can find with other brands.
28. An internet-beloved Tree Hut sugar and shea scrub, if dead skin cells aren't welcome in your winter, but saving money (and looking good while doing it) can sit with you any day of the week.
29. A Dollar Shave Club six-blade razor starter kit that will get you all the shaving bang for your buck. Ditch the "pink tax" and embrace the beloved Dollar Shave Club, a longtime cult favorite (just check out those reviews!!) that is now available at Walmart. Thank goodness!!!
The starter kit includes a sturdy, grippy handle and two blade refills.

31. A rosemary scalp oil because while so many products focus on hair health, this one does double duty and takes care of the skin around those follicles, too. Whatever you think this is gonna do, DOUBLE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
This is where you find out I am a terrible friend to you, but I need you to trust me because I had some serious hair thinning around my crown three years after having my kid, and this stuff... fixed it? Like, fixed it, fixed it. I didn't take "before" photos because I was self-conscious, but you'll literally never catch me without a bottle of this again. (Bonus points: Mielle is a Black-woman-owned company!)
Promising review: "Love this hair oil! It smells great and gives your scalp a tingling, refreshing feeling. The packaging is good with the drop applicator to make sure you put just the right amount of oil directly on your scalp. Truly a must-buy product." —E Wynn
