A refreshing dry shampoo to save your hairdo when sweat and heat take over. Whether you're hitting the gym, a picnic, or the beach, you need to make sure you keep this product close to you.

A revitalizing cuticle oil to give your fingertips some love and affection. Let's face it, your dry cuticles need a little extra TLC every now and then. This oil not only helps repair and nourish damaged skin and nails, but it also is great for daily use so you can stop neglecting your hands once and for all.

An affordable Essence mascara if you want your lashes to slay all day without breaking the bank. Don't let the price fool you, this little beauty is a game-changer. It'll give you longer, bolder, more voluminous lashes that'll have everyone thinking you've got lash extensions (only you and your bank account will know otherwise).

Promising review: "I have very sensitive skin that varies from dry/flakey to oily/cystic acne. I struggle with perioral dermatitis and eczema as well. I used this for one week, twice a day in combination with Paula's Choice skin recovery calming toner. The difference is so clear! It also did help that I tried to pick at my skin less." —Lauren S.

Promising review: "I have probably tried every mascara on the market, and this blows them all out of the park. Let me start by saying that I wear contact lenses, so it's important that nothing flakes off into my eyes during the day from my mascara, and after wearing this mascara countless times, I have never had an issue with this. It goes on easily, it builds, it thickens, it separates. It makes you look like you’re wearing false eyelashes. I can honestly say that I can go out with just mascara and blush and feel made up without having to put on eyeliner and eyeshadow. It doesn't flake into your eyes even if you accidentally rub your eyes, and it's easily removed with either makeup remover or soap and water or the Makeup Eraser pads. I sincerely hope they stay in business because I will be a fan for life, and there's not many things I can say that about." —HSL826

Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in a pack of one or three).

Promising review: "If you have dry skin, this cream is amazing. I have somewhat oily skin and I still love this. It's especially nice in the dry seasons like winter. With Korean skincare, you have skin moisturizer which is the liquid moisturizer that you apply first before you apply the emulsion/lotion. In the winter I use it very liberally and it keeps my face well hydrated. I’ve read that if your skin type isn't super dry then this cream skin can make you break out from being smothered but I haven't found that to be the case, even in a humid climate. I use it in the summer too and sometimes just by itself without using lotion and my face is still moisturized. Definitely would recommend if you have dry skin." —Helgacakes

Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This product works great. I’ve always been a hairy little monster, and this made me feel more baby-faced than I EVER have. While I wouldn't say it exfoliates and shaves off those dead layers of skin like a real dermatologist could, it does its job as a cheap lil' razor. My skin is soft, and I’m finally not self-conscious when natural light shines on my face. If you want a true dermaplane, I’d recommend spending more on a higher quality product, but if you want to get rid of all that peach fuzz and not break the bank, this is the product for you." —Tracey T.

Get them from Amazon for $5.64+ (available in a pack of three or nine).

Promising review: "Had to write a review because someone's review encouraged me to try this; maybe this one will help someone else. I am pretty hard on my feet; as a flight attendant, I work up to 14-15 hours a day. In addition to running 15+ miles a week. If you’re considering buying this, you cannot go wrong. Cheaper than going to the nail shop and BETTER results. I have never gotten this result going to a shop, and I will do this myself going forward. Zero complaints about this product, works PERFECTLY. I soaked my feet in hot water, epsom salt, and Listerine (yes, mouthwash) to prep them. Once the water cooled, I towel dried and applied the gel for eight minutes. Rinsed gel off and dried my feet with a towel before using a scraper to file the dead skin off. Amazing product, will be a return customer once this runs out. I don't see having to do this too often but definitely worth it." —Birah

Get it from Amazon for $14.49+ (also available in a bundle).

Promising review: "I bought the liquid version of this first because this was the newest TikTok trend of the time, and let me tell you what...the powder is the way to go. The liquid felt heavy; whereas, the powder felt like I had nothing on, which I love in a foundation, especially being an oily-faced girl. I don't want to add any weight to my face. It blended gorgeously with a foundation brush and had enough coverage for an everyday look!" —Cassidi

Get it from Walmart for $11.25+ (available in 20 colors).

Promising review: "Finally achieved a wing on my hooded eyes! The Flick Stick is so easy and fun to use. I have gotten great results every time. Plus, it stays on until I remove my makeup at night. Very happy with my purchase." —Roxie8

Get it from Amazon for $14.47+ (available in three sizes and in a pack of all three).

Promising review: "I'm so happy with the results!! Left side has nothing at all, right side has this product and a tiny bit of setting powder. The perfect natural look! Only use it on my cheeks, too, and it all just blends together flawlessly." —Alexis Parks

Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in two variations and in a pack of one or two).

Promising review: "I have really thick, stubborn eyebrow hairs that grow downward. I have tried almost every brow shaping gel you could think of. This product is the only thing that actually does the job and STAYS on. Yesterday I had this on for over 12 hours, and my brows stayed in place the whole time." —SP

Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in two variations and in a pack of one and two).

Promising review: "I had those little bumps on my arm and the salicylic acid really helps the turnover of my skin and keeps it soft. I use sunscreen that is 50 or over so my skin wouldn't burn. After two weeks of using it, my skin is soft and the majority of the little white bumps are gone. I use a loofah with it for extra exfoliation but not every day. I use it on my face as well after working out if I feel I need a deeper cleanse. But again, please use sunscreen whenever you use this product." —BrandyM

Get it from Target for $13.99.

Promising review: "This is the best product I’ve used on my face!!! RUN AND GET THIS! I have sensitive skin. Day four, I see a huge difference in my skin; it's smooth, hydrated, and dark spots are disappearing. It's magic in this bottle." —Tareika

Get it from Amazon for $21.99.

Promising review: "Love this product. I was searching for ways to help my son with his breakouts and learned using a dirty face towel is an acne trigger. Don't know why I never thought of this. My son is a college student. I know for sure he isn't washing his pillow cases twice a week. I know for sure he, and who knows who else, is using a dirty face towel. Super happy I found this product! Now I’m using them as well. Who wants to use a dirty face towel? I love the size of this compact little box. It's perfect for travel as we travel quite a bit. It's super absorbent. It's very strong and holds up fantastic when wet. I use it to remove face masks, on my curly wet hair to absorb moisture and of course to dry my face after washing. These cute little towels, along with a change in skincare, and my son's skin is back to gorgeous. Completely satisfied with this purchase." —DEB L OSTERHOUT

Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in pack of one, two or four).

Promising review: "We all know bikini line shaving can be the worst if you get ingrowns or other razor irritation. This helps so much! I apply it before bed after shaving day, and again a couple of days later if needed. No ingrowns, or associated itching or discoloration after that." —FleurDeOhio

Get it from Sephora for $26.

Promising review: "The Pattern hair care product line has been a game changer for my hair. The moment I started using the products, I noticed a change with my hair. I have less breakage and more moisture. I have used a lot of other different hair care products and nothing has worked as well as Pattern's." —KPW

Get it from Amazon for $7+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I really like this product. It's very lightweight but does exactly as the name suggests and keeps my hair looking shiny!" —Takieya R.

Get it from Pattern Beauty for $20.

Promising review: "The product worked great for me. I have been using PanOxyl for a few months along with a salicylic acid spray everyday. I’m active and exercise a lot and I get very sweaty. This used to cause a lot of acne for me, but the wash has cleared up just about everything! Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with body acne!" —Robin

Get it from Amazon for $9.50.

Promising review: "I love this product! It's easy to use, covers all of your face, and really helps with dry skin. It's an essential part of my skincare/self-care routine. I was looking at other products but a lot of them didn't cover all of the face which seemed a bit annoying. This one is perfect!" —Bella

Get it from Amazon for $23.49+ (available in two styles).

Promising review: "You better NEVER give up offering this product! These are by far the greatest cotton squares for taking off or correcting eye makeup — they never leave a fuzz or pill — they are soft and smooth and just wonderful!!!! I use them for everything, and I NEVER share!" —Pscales

Get it from Nordstrom for $13.

Promising review: "The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm is now a favorite! I ordered and received it during the winter and because of the cold it was difficult to get the product out. I completely forgot about it until two weeks ago. Now I love it! It's a great cleanser for dry and/or sensitive skin. Also very affordable." —Karen

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

Promising review: "Used on a Sunday as directed, but I did leave it on about 20 mins extra. I did wash right before use, but did not soak. For the first few days, there was no noticeable change, but on Thursday the first skin started to peel. From there, it was completely astonishing how the dead skin came off, and how much came off!!! Be prepared! Kind of gross, kind of fascinating! LOL! As of the following Sunday, most has now come off, but I do still have some active peeling occurring. Definite difference in the areas where it has already peeled. I do think I will need one more application to get the very worst spots completely cleared, but this stuff is really amazing and works exactly like it says it will! Better (and cheaper!!) than any pedicure I've ever had! I do recommend that if you plan to use this before a special occasion, do it at least two weeks before, as I think it will take that long to completely finish. Will definitely continue to use and will now be ready for sandal season!" —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "Although everyone's hair is different, this is the best dry shampoo I have tried. Doesn't leave a heavy residue and keeps my hair looking fresh and natural. I am one who has to wash my hair every day normally, but I am able to go at least two days with this dry shampoo. Smell is not overpowering. Worth the price for me!" —T.King

Get it from Amazon for $12+.

Promising review: "I'm Black with tight corkscrew curls. I condition my hair from root to end. I pin it up, then wrap with Saran wrap and leave it in for two to three hours. I discovered that it works better the longer I leave it on. I didn't do that the first time I used it and didn't notice much of a difference. My hair is much more manageable after using this conditioner. It elongates the curl and makes it easier to manage. I love this product." —Tammie D

Get it from Amazon for $15.98.

It tackles some of your biggest summer hair problems and smells amazing which is more than enough reason to add to cart..

Promising review: "This leave-in conditioner is pretty amazing! I was reluctant to buy it just because I don't really use conditioner for my hair that is already thin and without volume, but I'm glad I gave it a try. My hair tends to get very frizzy, especially when the air is dry and it was hard to tame it down so I've bought this conditioner for static purposes. I've been using it right after I wash my hair before I dry it and it really works. I'm also using a wood comb so maybe the two combined end up in a great result. Anyway, very good product so far with a wonderful smell, yet not overpowering." —Clara Jacobs

Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "I’ve used it with damp and completely dry hair. Both uses create very nice curls. I styled with zero hair products both times so the curls did fall some throughout the day to a long wave curl. But still looked very nice. This will be a staple in my no-heat hair care routine. Also very comfy to sleep in!"—JaDiHi

Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in 19 colors).

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but this oil deserves one. Let me just start by saying I’ve NEVER been able to grow my nails out before they become brittle and break. I started using this oil (on my cuticles and behind my nails) every day, at least twice a day, and these are my results. I’m not gentle on them either; they bend and have had gel nail polish over the past two months, and they still look like this! If you’re looking to grow your nails out, get this oil! Oh, and side note — it's not super oily; it soaks in relatively quickly. Perfect, perfect, perfect!" —Cristina Lee

Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I've been using this setting spray for a long time even in my makeup kit on my bridal clients! It helps keep things from getting too shiny throughout the day, and I definitely notice makeup wears much better with it! If you're looking for a new setting spray, you're not gonna find a better bang for your buck. Thanks, NYX!" —Molly L. Mcdonell

Get it from Amazon for $8.54 (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I am 59 and always getting accused of being in my mid forties! I have been using Andalou Naturals Luminous Eye Serum for at least three years. I would not be without it. My regular moisturizer works fine on the rest of my face, but if I try to use only it on my eyes, I can visibly see the difference. All I need to do is gently tap on the Andalou Eye Serum and I can see the crepeyness disappear." —M. Reitcheck
