Our Deputy Editorial Director Maitland Quitmeyer uses this and says: "Cloud Paint might be the easiest-to-apply blush of all time. I am incredibly pale, and a lot of blushes get full Haunted Victorian Doll really quick. Two dabs of this and a quick blend, and the natural pink flush is there — and any excess product I just pop on my eyelids for a cute matchy look. It adds some hydrated dimension to an otherwise matte face of foundation, feels SUPER comfortable on, and lasts (on me at least) all day! There is a little bit of a learning curve when squeeeeezing the product out (it can be easy at first to waste some), but once you're used to it, squeezin's a breeze. The good news is you only need a teeeeensy tad, so the tube lasts (The Sandlot voice) FOR-E-VER!"
Promising review: "I am such a minimalist when it comes to makeup. I used to never use blush or bronzer. A simple tinted moisturizer with some concealer and whatever. BUT CLOUD PAINT CHANGED THAT. I absolutely love the color and glow it adds to my face. And it only takes three seconds to put it on. Perfect for a makeup minimalist like me." —Jennifer T

Promising review: "I'm 27 and this is my second time purchasing these masks. I use these about once every other week or so. I have seen drastic improvements in my skin. After one use my skin was not nearly as dry and flaky. My face seemed a lot more supple and plump as well. After continued use, I have noticed my fine lines on my forehead are less noticeable and the overall texture of my skin is more smooth compared to bumpy looking. I also noticed I don't look as tired even though I'm exhausted LOL. My uneven skin tone has improved and my face has brightened some. I live and work in the city and I think you can tell by my skin appearance but after using these my skin looks fresh, soft, and has a nice glow to it even after one use. I will continue to keep these masks stocked in my vanity." —Rachel

This bundle includes: one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two pillowcases.
I have been #blessed because I get to sleep on these bad boys every night. And when I tell you that I look forward to jumping into bed because of these sheets, I am not exaggerating. Their breathable quality feels like a vacation and yes, because they're 100% linen they do take a couple sleeps to soften up. I was super new to the idea of linen sheets when I received these, but, honestly, I was a convert overnight. I've washed 'em once and the initial scratchy quality has certainly dissipated. They also look *so* chic (seriously, I'm in awe of how the caramel stripe pattern has transformed the look of my bedroom) and I'm even convinced they're helping me to get a better night's sleep!
Promising review: "I love these sheets so much. The linen is GORGEOUS but more than that, the sheets are buttery soft and so lovely."

Founded by three Latinx sisters and their mother, Terra Beauty Bars has a mission to craft consciously made skin-, hair-, and nailcare for efficacy and wellness.
I have been lucky enough to test out this wonderful clean beauty product that not only looks beautiful (peep the petals in the bottle!) but takes care of my frizzy flyaways, dry cuticles, *and* chapped skin — all without leaving a greasy residue. There's a light herbal scent, which I personally love because it lets me know I'm using only natural ingredients. And I just love me a multitasking product so I don't have to store as many products on my small bathroom counter!
Promising review: "This is literally my favorite full-body and hair oil ever! For the price, I thought maybe it would be full of filler ingredients, but it is not. It is 100% natural and not greasy at all. I use it on my legs, hands, and arms. My daughter, who has very curly hair, uses it as a hair oil daily and it does wonders on her coils (3c). Highly recommend." —Olivia

The lights are waterproof, have eight light settings controlled by a remote, and can be used indoors or outdoors. Layer the light strings with sheer curtains to create a cozy haven. And BTW, some reviewers noted that these curtains can be tricky to hang up by yourself because the lights get tangled, but many shared a hack: Don't untie the long lights from each other until you've already hung up the curtain.
Promising review: "I am so in love with these lights! They were so easy to put up (took me about five minutes). They add such beauty to my room. I am so happy with this purchase." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 and the sheer curtains for $16.99+ (available in 16 sizes and 19 colors).

BuzzFeed Editor Bek O'Connell is lucky enough to have one of these and can be quoted as saying: "Sometimes I just hold mine and sigh over how nice it is! Sorry if that's lame, but it is the truth. I am love with my pan."
Promising review: "This pan is EVERYTHING! I went from making pasta in the basket to steaming broccoli in it and then finishing my meal in there. Then I forgot about cleaning it because I’m lazy — and the nonstick cleaned up so easily. The sponge they include is incredible; I do all my dishes with it now. Also it looks really cute sitting on my stove all day." —Darby S.

This is silicone free, fragrance free, oil free, noncomedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin. Note that on application, the shade may appear lighter but after 30–60 seconds, it'll adjust to its true color. Because it's silicone free, natural separation may occur. This is normal and it'll be fixed when applied to skin. Plus, the bottle is recyclable! Learn how to here.
Promising review: "Makes my skin look naturally luminous. I love that this product has SPF 40. It is a natural and clean formula that leaves my skin feeling hydrated, plump, fresh, and glowing. I feel like it is making my skin better, not just looking better. It is so gentle, no irritation at all, and it doesn't have a heavy fragrance. My skin looks dewy and radiant. It applies very easily and a little goes a long way. I feel like but is well worth the price, and I may have to purchase this again. I am extremely pleased." —Jessica
Get it from Ilia for $48 (available in 28 shades).
Psst! The brand mentions that the toe of this boot is kinda snug, so if you have a wider foot or like to wear thicker socks, they recommend ordering a half size up!
Promising review: "I’ve had these boots for about two months now, and I absolutely love them! After breaking in (for me about four wears) they are the most comfortable heels I own. I wear the all day on my feet teaching and they never bother me. They look fantastic and go with everything. So glad I finally bit the bullet and shelled out the cash for these. They’re expensive, but I can tell they’ll last for years to come." —Rachael

Expect mouthwatering notes of brown sugar, molasses, and spices to complete this bakery fragrance. And this fragrance oil is infused with natural essential oils, including nutmeg and cinnamon leaf.
Hey! The brand also mentions allowing your candle to burn for at least a few hours the first time you light it, to ensure that it burns evenly in the future and for its full life.
Oh, and just in case you needed further convincing, BuzzFeed Editor Heather Braga cannot get enough of these, here's what she has to say: "When I tell you I am wholeheartedly committed to this candle brand I mean it. I was first introduced to them when I discovered their 'OMG You're Engaged' candle in a boutique near by NYC apartment a few years ago. I've been gifting them to everyone I know (and myself) since. This small business is female-owned by an absolute badass who also writes poetry. My all-time favorites are the seasonal options, but the classics are unbeatable as well. Don't even get me STARTED on the holiday scents. Honestly, If you couldn't already tell, I just really freakin' love these candles!"
Get it from Evil Queen for $22.
Deputy Editorial Director Maitland Quitmeyer has one and says: "I have this in the cooling version (in the color 'avocado') and let's just say I've used it quite a bit in recent times. The large knit style is super chic, and the organic cotton is breathable (and there's nothing in it to create the weight *other* than cotton). I *love* it, and it's actually extremely cute, looking like a regular old fancy blanket! It's heavy, but still I take it from bed to couch and back to bed all the time as I WFH. It doesn't overheat on the couch (thanks to the fabric and the 'holes' in the large knit), but provides a pleasant weight as I watch TV or work. And when it's layered over my duvet, it keeps me extra cozy and warm."
Promising review: "I love this napper a little too much. I carry it up and down stairs all day as I move between the bed and couch for crafting, reading, etc. I like to grasp onto something when I sleep (usually the edge of the pillowcase), so the loops are awesome for tucking in my fingers and toes. Unlike another weighted blanket I own, the napper is stylish so I don't mind if it's out in the living room, and I can wash it, a huge deal given how often it's used. It's a bit of a pain to dry (it took three cycles in the dryer, so next time I am going to hand dry). The weight is very comforting, and I don't have an issue with overheating, even using it in the middle of summer in a muggy climate." —Madeline B.

Woodland Herbal is an Ohio-based Etsy shop established in 2018 that specializes in skincare, salves, and tea blends.

Get it from Woodland Herbal on Etsy for $14.
One of our editors, Heather Braga, *loves* the fall, almost as much as she loves these leggings — here's her take: "I splurged on these and I don't know why I waited so long! They're super soft on the inside, edgy on the outside, and just freakin' fabulous. I love pairing them with an oversized sweater for a look that's stylish but still cozy during the winter and wearing them with a denim jacket and a graphic tee in spring and fall."
Promising review: "Spanx are comfortable — I could even lift and stretch in these! Breathable as well! They give great shape and DO NOT camel toe! No wrinkling/scrunching of that area! They do have more silvery sheen to them, and a waistband (which give a more casual look)." —Nordstrom Customer

It's only 6 inches tall!
Promising review: "I love my new little heater! It's small size makes it easy to carry, and it's also extremely quiet. I don't have to worry about tripping breakers at work anymore as well. It's a heater meant for one person, as it puts out a great amount of heat for about 2 feet. It's perfect for environment in which one person is hot and one is not. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a personal heater." —Ashley C.
