Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. Promising review: "My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." —Jessica Promising review: "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now and in the beginning I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks I just decided to leave it on and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price and I am very pleased." —tracy k revels Get it from Amazon for $17.47+ (available in ring sizes 5–10 and in four colors). Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason this lipstick is better than even $20 name brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in five color sets and also in three-piece sets). iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "Because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." Promising review: "I really like these headphones. The noise cancellation isn’t 100% but it’s pretty close. The color is really cute and music comes through really clear. Calls are good as well. I wish the buttons on the side were a bit raised but that’s it. For the price, these are really worth it!" —Sophia Taylor Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to get it for $19.79+; available in five colors). Promising review: "Gorgeous bag. The material is so easy to clean, it's beyond sturdy and looks very classy. The zipper pocket inside is great for storing things discreetly. The length is great, it sits perfectly under my arm with a little bit of room still. Overall great purchase." —Mary Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in five colors). Promising review: "I ordered one based on reviews and it did not disappoint. I like my coffee HOT and my water COLD, and this lets me know exactly what to expect. It keeps ice for HOURS, as in well over 24 if the lid is on and over 12 even if the lid is off. Best feature ... I've managed to drop it TWICE in as many days and although the top is a little scratched (I had a sleeve from a different bottle that almost comes up to the lid), thermometer still works. Still leakproof. Couldn't ask for a better thermos." —Kelly H. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors). Promising review: "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me. Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" —Margarita Harutoonian Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five styles and sets with matching lids). Promising review: "For the money you can’t beat em! These look amazing on my face, like a $300 pair of sunglasses. I have tried several pairs and this brand looks and feels comparable to a pair of Ray-Bans and Pradas. I have a smaller face and to me this pair fits the best, perfect for my nose and brow line. I couldn’t be happier, just wish there were six stars so everyone would know how amazing they are. If you are questioning whether or not they will look as good on you as they do in the photos, yes...yes they do." —Christina Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in six colors). Promising review: "The design is awesome for fitting different shapes of makeup stuff. I’m not a heavy makeup wearer, but still have a good amount of stuff lol. Everything I need fits in there perfectly. I absolutely love it! 100% recommended!!!!!" —Paul C. Fleck Price: $18.99+ (available in two sizes and 27 colors/styles) Promising reviews: "TikTok made me buy it and I absolutely love it. So amazing so many rainbows it reminds me of my childhood." —wendy G "I live in an apartment community and I wanted to find a solution to cover up my windows without using my blinds/curtains. Let me just say...wow! This beyond exceeded my expectations. Not only does it give me the privacy I need, but the way the lights reflect in the daytime AND nighttime is just breathtaking! In the morning when the sun shines through, tiny little rainbows get cast all over the bedroom! At night it looks so cozy, warm, and has a beautiful, realistic stained glass look to it." —Katie Coyle Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 14 sizes and four colors). Promising review: "Absolutely beautiful! High quality. Really adds drama to a wall/ room. Little details really do matter!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $4.29+ (available in five configurations). Check out why these are a fave in this TikTok. Promising review: "Y’all I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use multiple times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously will never stray." —Katiew Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in four sizes, eight styles, and a starter kit that comes with the Originals in two sizes, lash glue, and an applicator). Promising review: "I recently purchased a bread knife, and it has become an essential tool in my kitchen. The serrated blade effortlessly slices through various types of bread, providing clean and even cuts. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to maneuver. It’s a reliable and efficient addition to my kitchen arsenal, highly recommended for anyone who loves fresh, perfectly sliced bread." —Mykayla Stump Promising review: "Run Forrest run!! Don’t walk!! This is a perfect Vivienne Westwood [alternative]. I bought this when I didn’t have enough money for the real one but unless if you do a microscopic closeup of the two, this necklace is the literal perfect [copy] of the original. It feels pretty weighty and doesn’t tarnish easily. The size is also perfect and the color matches the real one better than the other ones in the market. The packaging was also super cute and protective." —Ziaaaa Get a two-pack (gold and silver) from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in another style). Promising review: "Loved these earrings! They didn’t weigh down my ears. Very elegant as well. I would purchase again." —Jasmine Promising review: "I love these bulbs. They make any room all warm and cozy. Also a fantastic night-light for the little ones. :) Get you some!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.96+ (available in four styles). Promising review: "Great dress great price. I wore for a bridal shower. It looked great got tons of compliments and was also super comfortable. Would totally buy in every color. Love love love. My sister loves it more than her $50 dress and is now borrowing it for another bridal shower. It's super soft and feels fantastic quality but also breathable. Not to heavy but just enough where I felt held and not exposed. It also fit well and was sized appropriately." —Rachel Marrs Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and in 10 colors). Promising review: "I was actually curious if this was actually going to work and if it would look cheap, but it's well made, sturdy, and looks pretty cool. You can use other liquor bottles. Don't be fooled by the empty bottle and lack of weight. I tried full bottles of unopened wine, and it's held up really well. For the price point, you can't beat it, and you will definitely get lots of compliments!" —KGP Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three styles and a stationary style). Each kit comes with six shower steamers, including lavender, menthol with eucalyptus, vanilla, watermelon, and grapefruit, and peppermint, with explanations for each scent's intended use.

Promising review: "I truly enjoyed these shower steamers. They smell divine, and not only that, but they each come with a personalized affirmation and they describe what each one is intended for. I love the personalized letter from the creator Helen. I will order again and I will be telling my family and friends to order this as well. I started feeling much more calmer after just smelling them." —Amazon Customer Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.79 (also available in packs of 18). Promising review: "May have to order one for myself in the future!! This item owl crystal ball with led was a present for my mother. She absolutely loves it!!

You can’t beat the price and quality!" —Shauna Kiersten Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in copper or satin gold). Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Check out a TikTok of the Kitsch satin pillowcase in action. Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much more prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" —Amazon Customer 🌷 Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes, in packs of two, and in 16 styles). Promising review: "Literally the most beautiful butter crock I’ve ever found. It works amazing, my homemade butter is so silky smooth. I was so very excited for this item and will have to order another one because one day in and my dumb cat pushed it off the counter trying to get into it and shattered it, but it is very much worth the money, so I will be getting a new one immediately!" —Tangie Christensen Promising review: "I love these pants! I bought the color Ecru, and they are a perfect light khaki color. Not see-through. Soft. Hits right at the top of my sandals. I washed and dried them normally, and they didn’t shrink. Will be ordering other colors." —Allen family Get it from Amazon for $11.54+ (available in women's sizes XS–6X and a variety of styles). CoasterStone is a US-based, family-owned small business that specializes in highly absorbent stone coasters. The coaster holder is not included, but you can get a similar coaster holder to the reviewer's pic on Amazon for $12. Promising review: "These truly are the best coasters we have ever owned. They are super absorbent, so your glass will never stick. I have purchased multiple sets of these and use them in every room of our house. I have also purchased them as gifts for others. I only buy the white ones so they are also super easy to clean. Have had them for years and they still look perfect." —Lisa Get a set of four from Amazon for $23.99.
