This hair mascara is genius for smoothing down unwanted frizz and flyaways, especially if you don’t like the feel of heavy, sticky gels. The formula uses a blend of botanically derived oils, like jojoba and camellia, to tame and moisturize hair; while hydrolyzed silk offers strengthening benefits. Plus, the applicator is so easy to handle — just swipe it through unruly hairs, like the ones at your temples or the nape of your neck, and head out the door. This is especially useful for creating sleek updos.

The name isn’t the only clever thing about this Zombie Pack face mask. The product works eight wonders upon your skin, which include hydrating, brightening, firming, and generally reviving a dull complexion. The application process is pretty cool, too — the powder mask comes in individual cups, which you’ll mix with water to activate, then apply with the included brush. You’ll feel it get to work immediately (your skin may feel tight or “pulse”), but when you rinse it off after 15 minutes, it’ll feel incredibly soft and smooth.

Whether you want to refresh your existing color or experiment with a new hue without the commitment or expense, this color-depositing conditioner will be your new hero. Among the 50,000+ Amazon shoppers who left it a review, people rave about how vibrant and silky-soft this leaves their hair. One customer wrote: “The results were phenomenal! Not only did the color turn out beautifully but my hair is so super soft and smells so good! I can't say enough good things about this product.” It comes in 19 shades, from silver, copper, and brunette to bolder hues like mint green and hot pink.

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok over the past few months, you’ve likely seen this Revlon Volcanic Face Roller making the rounds for its brilliant combination of cleverness and effectiveness. The roller is made of pure volcanic stone that naturally absorbs excess oil, doing away with the need for wasteful, single-use blotting papers, all while giving your face a mini massage. You can pull out the stone and wash it with your face cleanser, then screw on the airtight cap to keep it hygienic.

According to our obsessed editors, the L’Oreal 8 Second Wonder Water is just about the fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to achieve supermodel-worthy hair: Just apply it to your mid-shafts and ends after you shampoo, wait a few seconds, then rinse it out (no need to condition). When it dries, you’ll be left with smooth, strong, silky hair. This water-light treatment is a failsafe for all hair types and budgets, even those with thin hair who typically most find hair masks too heavy.

This face mask may look (and smell) like a cup of fluffy vanilla frosting with rainbow sprinkles; but in reality, it’s a potent blend of glacier water, hyaluronic acid, and squalane that hydrates and refreshes your skin — more glass of water than piece of cake. Meanwhile, kaolin clay absorbs sebum and other impurities from your pores — several Amazon reviewers confirm that this works wonders to pull out blackheads — but thanks to all those hydrating ingredients, your skin won’t feel tight and dry when you wash it off.

If you love to give your face a deep clean but can’t be bothered to invest in one of those massive facial cleansing brushes, or don’t want to use a harsh konjac sponge, try these compressed facial sponges instead. Though they’re as thin as a piece of paper when dry, they expand under water to more than quadruple in size, making them especially handle for travel. For less than $10, you’ll get 50 sponges, and they’ve become so popular that they’ve garnered over 9,000 Amazon reviews.

This color removal sponge is nothing short of brilliant: With just a few strokes, it removes all the pigment from your makeup brushes, so you can switch between colors without needing to get your brush wet to cleanse it. “This speeds up my routine. It's amazing how something as simple as a black sponge in a tin can cut my time in half,” one Amazon reviewer raved. “No switching to another brush, no tissue lint, and no extra brushes to watch at the end of the week.” The sponge itself can be cleaned with soap and water, air-dried, then popped back into the airtight case to protect it from bacteria.

This brilliant sunscreen from La Roche-Posay regularly sells out on Amazon and in stores, so when you see it, buy it. It’s special because although it has an SPF of 50, it feels like a lightweight serum — so basically, it’s the ideal sunscreen for people who hate sunscreen. It sinks into your skin instantly without leaving behind any trace of residue, but it keeps your skin feeling comfortable and soft. It’s also formulated with antioxidants to double up on the environmental protection, while the pump-top bottle helps keep the formula fresh.

This Andalou Naturals Pumpkin Honey mask sounds good enough to eat, but it contains virtually every ingredient the natural world has to offer for brighter, polished skin — including the titular pumpkin enzymes, which work as a gentle exfoliant; Manuka honey for hydration; and glycolic acid, vitamin C, and fruit extracts packed with skin-polishing AHAs. Everything in the formula is naturally derived and non-GMO, and many ingredients are certified organic.

K-beauty brand COSRX makes plenty of best-selling products at surprisingly affordable prices; but with over 3,000 five-star ratings, Amazon shoppers are particularly besotted with this exfoliating toning mist.

It’s a foolproof option for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin who may shy away from harsher exfoliants.

These clever little tools that you may have had when you were younger are hard to find in stores, so thank goodness for Amazon.

If you love the look of liquid lipstick but hate the drying feel, pick up one of these lip crayons from Haus Laboratories, Lady Gaga’s beauty brand. The product delivers the full-coverage effect and matte, powdery finish of a liquid lipstick, but it feels like a creamy crayon.

Get it in 22 gorgeous shades, from berries and nudes to a Gaga-appropriate, blazing hot pink.

If you love the look of beachy waves but struggle to use a curling iron, this Bed Head deep waver is about to become your new best friend.

This L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara is like an upgraded version of the brand’s classic Voluminous mascara.

CeraVe SA Body Wash works like a charm for smoothing out rough, bumpy skin, so it’s great for people who are prone to body breakouts or keratosis pilaris.

Over 130,000 Amazon shoppers agree: These Schick Hydro Silk razors are well worth the $1 purchase. These slim, gentle razors can be used for myriad purposes, like eyebrow grooming, removing unwanted facial hair, and dermaplaning, an exfoliating technique that leaves your skin impossibly soft and smooth. (Your makeup will blend even better, too.) This order comes with three washable razors with protective caps, as well as a precision cover for eyebrow shaping.

These aren’t your average makeup sponges. They’re made of a unique microfiber material that’s thinner than a strand of silk, so they absorb far less product than a usual sponge, leading to less product waste. Plus, they’re designed with a combination of round, flat, and pointed shapes to seamlessly fit the curves and contours of your face. Use them damp to build and blend liquid and cream makeup; or, use them dry to apply powders.

This hairbrush cleaning tool may seem superfluous, but it’s actually crucial for maintaining the integrity of your hairbrush — and, in turn, your hair’s overall health. This three-in-one tool is equipped with a pointed end to pick out clumps of hair that gather between the bristles, and two types of combs to clear away other types of fluff and debris. “This thing works amazing. [...] the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off and now my brush is cleaner 10x as fast,” one Amazon reviewer wrote.

The key to silky, smooth, baby-soft feet? These clever foot peeling masks, which are sold in a pack of three.

A little bit gross, but also super satisfying — and the results are worth it.

Like all Weleda products, this oil is NATRUE-certified and cruelty-free.

This glitter primer is formulated specifically to keep pesky, fallout-prone glitter firmly in place. Safe for use on your lids, lips, and body, it creates a creamy, lightweight canvas for your glitter to cling onto all night long — including at a sweaty Lady Gaga concert, as one Amazon reviewer reported. That said, you can use it for non-glitter formulas, too, especially if you have oily lids or live in a hot, humid environment.

No exaggeration, the cult-favorite Revlon One-Step may very well change your life.

Use once or twice a week to help maintain clear, congestion-free skin.

Microfiber hair towels are so clever for quite a few reasons. First, they help your hair dry faster, since microfiber is such an absorbent material. Second, because microfiber is so soft, it’s gentler on your hair than traditional terry cotton, so it can help produce less frizz and breakage. This microfiber towel is useful in another way, too; it’s lightweight and stays secure on your head with a button, so it won’t slip off or weigh you down as you putter around the house.

The easiest way to achieve silky-soft hands and feet is to slip on these “masks” — which are shaped like gloves and socks — and sit back and relax while they work their moisturizing magic. In each set, you’ll get six pairs of gloves (three moisturizing, three hydrating) and six pairs of socks (also three moisturizing and three hydrating), so it’s an amazing value. You can even wear these to sleep; if you’re worried about them slipping off your feet, simply put a pair of thicker socks on top.

If you haven’t tried a cleansing brush yet, here’s your little nudge.

Use it two to three times per week if your hair is very damaged, and you’ll be left with silky, stronger hair in no time.
