Promising review: “I recently purchased this one-piece swimsuit, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. The fit was absolutely perfect, hugging my body in all the right places without being too tight or too loose. The quality is exceptional, with sturdy stitching and fabric that feels both luxurious and durable. Most importantly, I felt incredibly beautiful wearing it. This swimsuit is a fantastic blend of comfort and style, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a swimsuit that makes you feel confident and stunning.” —Sam Blanchard

2. An easy-to-apply one-hour (!!) self-tanner so much cheaper and more effective than its competitors that your medicine cabinet will laugh at the old versions you used. This vegan blend is easy for beginners to use without streaking or uneven patches, and although the tan is instant, the fade is nice and gradual.

Promising review: “If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I’ve used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!” —Amazon Customer

Promising review: “I’ve gone through several sunscreens to wear with makeup, and this has been the best for me. I’m a simple girl.

It’s def lightweight but provides great protection.” —Emily Haynes

Promising review: “TikTok made me buy it. Recommended by at least three TikTok doctors (real ones, I promise) and was pleasantly surprised. Not greasy, no white cast, and doesn’t irritate my oily skin.” —Victoria Caboa
“Because I have hated just about every facial sunscreen (especially you, Supergoop, lol) I’ve ever tried, the price for this product is honestly worth it. Doesn’t feel greasy, oily, or silicone-y. Doesn’t leave a white cast. Doesn’t have a strong odor. It really just feels like I’m putting another layer of moisturizer on. If I go out with only this SPF with no makeup, my skin looks nice, dewy, and moisturized, but never oily or greasy. Most importantly, this keeps my rosacea in check!” —Christina Chetwood
Get it from Amazon for $40.85.

Promising review: “Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing.” —Dragonheart Jo
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.

Promising review: “I have ordered this twice now. If my skin is breaking out I just spray this on after washing my face and let it air dry. It is nonirritating and nondrying. It has a light chlorine smell to me. I can use both morning and night with no irritation. After a few days of this, my skin started clearing up! I put some in a travel spray bottle and take it when I’m flying. My skin always feels dirty on planes and I spray it on a few times on travel days to freshen my face and hopefully kill some bacteria. It sprays over makeup with no issues.” —SaraSmile11
Get it from Amazon for $17.46.

Amazon
Promising review: “I am super pleased with these sports bras — I have purchased three colors so far. What I like about these bras is they really hold the girls well during, let’s say, jumping jacks or jogging in place (I do workouts to DVDs), but they don’t smoosh your chest. Pads are supportive and don’t travel around the inside sleeve. I have little up-and-down movement and no side-to-side movement. These bras look like they will last for some time. Worthwhile and affordable purchase.” —D. Lowery

Get it from Amazon for $13.94.
22. An adorable, roomy duffel bag that’s practically *screaming* “take me on a weekend trip” — people compare this durable, water-resistant option to Herschel’s duffel and love that it comes with long handles for easy maneuvering and a side panel to hook it to a roll-on suitcase.

This one is less than $5, gives you instant length, and is DELIGHTFULLY sweatproof — reviewers call it out as an excellent comparison for Too Faced’s “Better Than Sex” and Benefit’s “They’re Real.”

Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn’t get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don’t want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time.
Promising review: “AWESOME. I’ve always bought overpriced mascara. I’m very picky and hesitant, but I saw some reviews saying how awesome this was. I’ll never go back to ‘Better Than Sex’ mascara because that’s what I always use, and I compare it to that. This is the best mascara!! I’ll never go back.” —patrick hauk

27. A delightful little tool called the “Bug Bite Thing” — it suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness.

Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small business established in 2017 that specializes in bug bite relief products.
This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more (although TBH, if this list of bugs gets any longer I may just stay indoors forever!!).
Promising review: “I cannot stress to you enough how much better this simple little tool has made my quality of life during summer in Ohio. It rains a lot. There are a lot of mosquitoes. I have horrific allergic reactions to mosquito bites. We’re talking bumps swelling to the width of softballs within minutes of the bite. This tool doesn’t make those bumps go away, but it stops the itch IMMEDIATELY. I was a huge skeptic; how could a little suction cure this agonizingly itchy allergic reaction? I’ll be honest. I still really don’t know how it does, but it provides instant relief that no pill, cream, or injection ever has ever achieved for me. If you live anywhere where insect bites are common, you need to own one of these.” —Customer

28. A pair of metallic cowboy boots you can get in so many colors that it’ll be all too easy to get your “yeehaw” on and jump on the bandwagon for this year’s hottest boot trend.

Promising review: “The hype is real! I used to think Crocs are just so ugly! But after seeing so many friends wearing them, I finally had to try, and wow, they are really comfy and versatile. I took them camping, and I hiked and went into the lake with them! Just so comfy and so easy to wear. I easily slip them on when needing to walk my dog.

Promising review: “RUN to buy this, I repeat… RUN. I bought one of these about two years ago and it’s STILL going strong. Aquaphor is amazing, we all know that. Buuut the convenience of having it in a tube is life changing. It truly is as easy as one, two, three. It can easily be applied to anything you could possibly need. I’ve used it on brand new tattoos, dry/chapped skin (hands, feet, legs, lips etc.) and the edge of my hair line to protect my skin from hair dye!” —Tara Fossa

31. A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts so lightweight that you might have to look down to make sure they’re still on (PHEWPH). Not only do a lot of reviewers compare these to Lululemon, but they also feature a handy underwear liner and a sizable side pocket.

ASK ME HOW OBSESSED WITH THESE SHORTS I AM, I DARE YOU!!! Real talk: I first bought these shorts because I’m in love with the similar ones you can get at Lululemon or Old Navy, but they’re either expensive or sell out so fast. Turns out I love these even more! I love the huge range of colors you can buy these in, love that the high-waistedness of them meets about where my running crop top ends so I don’t have to get bonkers with sunscreen, and love love loooooove the side pocket for my keys or phone. I have them in blue, pink, and yellow, and several pairs in black because I just keep collecting them every summer.

Promising review: “First of all, I love the fresh scent. I have medium-texture hair on the sides and back, and thinner and straighter on top. This spray comes in an easy-to-use bottle and gives good body without being stiff or sticky. It does give some hold too if I spray it more heavily. Keeps my hair from looking too flat.” —Janet Pics
