    44 Beauty And Style Products That’ll Help You Look And Feel Your Best This Summer

    Sure, summer is great. But it's about to be even better when you add sweat-wicking bra liners to your life.

    1. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray you can spritz all over your face in the morning to keep your makeup in place, no matter what you do the rest of the day. It's said to help fading and smudging for up to 16 hours. It's essentially witchcraft, if you ask me.

    Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking multiple trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.) 

    Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that timespan: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, multiple meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying multiple times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non-waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray."

    Get it from Amazon for $13.60+ (available in two sizes and also a two-pack).

    2. A pack of headbands made with a soft, breathable, and stretchy fabric sure to keep you comfortable no matter how hot it is outside. These are a great way to not only keep your hair off your face but the back of your neck, too!

    Promising review: "These headbands are made of a super soft material in a nice range of colors that will match everything in your wardrobe. The price of the entire set makes them a great value as well. I know I'll get a lot of wear out them this summer to keep me cool." —Suzanne Elizabeth Anderson

    Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five color combos). 

    3. A bottle of Isle of Paradise's Self-Tanning Drops if you're looking to add a little color to your face. Just mix a couple of drops in with your moisturizer, and you'll get a nice little sun-kissed glow, without the sun.

    Promising review: "I have been using these drops for years and I LOVE THEM! If you are looking for an easy and reliable product it’s this! I know the price is steep but these bottles last me 4-5 months and I use them at least 2 times a week. I wash my face everyday morning and night and this makes the tanner wipe off faster but it still last for about 3-4 days. If you are a first time buyer start small with 1 drop and mix it with lotion to help spread out evenly!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $30.40 (available in three shades). 

    4. And a self-tanner to give the rest of your body a little color without having to subject yourself to the sun's harmful rays. Reviewers confirm it's easy to use, and you can see results in as little as one hour!

    Promising review: "Easy to use. This self tanner is great! It doesn't leave a lingering scent and does not transfer. It developed into a very nice tan, not orange at all! This is a must-have for spring and summer." —Wendy

    Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in seven shades).

    5. A lightweight two-piece blouse and shorts set that's an easy, ~breezy~ look perfect for running errands or meeting your friends at the pool. Plus, you can totally wear the top and bottom separately, making this an incredibly versatile addition to your wardrobe.

    Promising review: "This set is literally so comfy and cute. It says pajama set, but I would wear this out any day with a cute tank under. It's super lightweight for summer, and sized perfectly." —Gabriella Schilling

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in women's sizes L–5X and in 38 colors, patterns, and sleeve lengths). 

    6. An ice roller for instant relief that will feel oh-so good on those hot and humid days. You can use it in the morning to help your skin wake up or at the end of a long day when you just need to ~chillax~.

    image of reviewer holding up green ice roller
    gif of reviewer rolling the esarora ice roller on their face

    Promising review: "This is by far the best addition I have ever made to my morning routine. This ice roller wakes me up, makes my skin glow, and has been great helping me fight the Texas heat!" —Elizabeth

    Get it from Amazon for $16.14+ (available in 12 colors).

    7. A pack of unscented antiperspirant wipes said to keep sweatiness at bay for up to seven days!! Yes, you read that right. Just apply to any area where you sweat a lot before bed, let it air dry for five minutes, wash the treated area in the morning, and then go on living your best life.

    Oh — and just an FYI that you should "patch test" this on a small area of your skin to make sure you don't get any type of reaction.

    Promising review: "I I live in FL, and the summers can get brutal. Every part of you sweats! I applied deodorant to my face, groin, and chest, but it still didn't stop all the perspiration and wetness. I was really tired of changing clothes every time this happened. I tried Sweat Block after reading other positive reviews about it.

    This stuff is FANTASTIC!! I still use deodorant as usual, but I don't have any breakthrough sweating. I follow the directions and put it on after showering at night. I usually don't see any effect the first day, but by day two, I am completely sweat free and don't need to use it again for at least 10 days. I've purchased it twice now and will keep buying it forever!! I will never be without this stuff!!" —Christina Polando

    Get an 10-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (each box lasts two months).

    8. Or a pack of underarm sweat pads if your sweat is centrally located to your armpits. Place one of these pads between your skin and your shirt, and it will help absorb both perspiration and odor.

    Promising review: "These are amazing. The perfect size for me (medium and large women's cut shirts). I wear nice dress shirts outside, even in the warmer months. My fear was always having wet armpits or stains on my shirts, but not anymore. I love them and will be purchasing more when they are needed." —Amanda M.

    Get a 100-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two sizes). 

    9. Essence's Lash Princess mascara to take your lashes to new ~heights~ and make people think you're wearing falsies, when in fact, all you did was swipe on some mascara. Your lashes will look ah-mazing, and you won't have those extra fake lashes weighing you down.

    Promising review: "With just a single sweep or two, this made my lashes very long and thick looking. At 53-years-old, I've never used a mascara that gave such a dramatic effect with so little work. I'd been using false lashes, but this works so well, I'll save the falsies for special occasions. It stays in place and doesn't smudge all day, even when it's warm out. I've already recommended it to my friends, and they love it, too." —NOLA Amazonian

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    10. A bodycon dress you can throw on when it's too hot to even think about putting an outfit together. Everyone will think you tried really hard when all you did was slide on this dress. 💁‍♀️

    Promising review: "I love this dress for summer! I love the contrasting trim color and the sexy cut-out back. The back is cut out in a way that you could wear a strapless bra, but I’ve found it hard to keep the bottom of the bras from showing with the ways the cut outs are." —Lindsey Elleman

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes S–L and in 13 colors and lengths).

    11. A facial cooling spray good to keep on hand to spritz yourself when your face is red from heat, sun exposure, or even just needs a little refresh. Reviewers with rosacea, menopause, and sensitive skin swear by it!

    Promising review: "It's great for calming sensitive skin, sunburn, any type of skin irritation, cooling down from being overheated (put it in the fridge for a while and it feels AMAZING) or even just setting your makeup if it's looking too matte. If you have rosacea, then it's a miracle product and you should buy this immediately. Recommended it to my mother, who was experiencing hot flashes due to menopause and she loves it too. You won't regret it." —SP077

    Get it from Amazon for $8.55+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).

    12. Alleyoop tinted sunscreen about to be your new fave product for summer because it not only has SPF 50, but it has has a tint, meaning you only need one product to add some color *and* protection to your face. No need to apply layer after layer on your face when it will feel like it's melting as soon as you step outside. This is a one and done product.

    Alleyoop is a woman-owned small business that creates easy-to-use products to simplify your beauty routine.

    Ever since Covid, my beauty routine has been really simple. I work from home, so I rarely wear makeup anymore. But when I do, I want something that just sort of compliments my natural look. I got this skin tint recently, and it has quickly become my favorite product. I love that it's super lightweight. So lightweight that it doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything at all. But the tint is good enough that it provides the right amount of coverage. AND as a bonus, it has SPF 50 and niacinamide. My summer makeup routine is to put this on over my other fave product Hero rescue balm (which helps with my natural redness) and some mascara. And that's it! It lasts all day long and really just gives my skin a lovely glow. I am obsessed.

    Promising review: "The only thing you need this summer! The coverage has me speechless. It make your skin so smooth and stays all day longgg!" —Sheila G.

    Get it from Amazon for $32 (available in 11 shades) or from Alleyoop for $30 (available in 12 shades).

    13. A pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatment to basically work magic on your acne. Simply apply one to the spot before bed, and it will work as you sleep to pull out all the gunk in your pimple. You'll wake up to smaller, less red zit.

    Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok, so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway 

    Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

    14. A set of reusable waterproof silicone Nippies reviewers swear don't move, even on the sweatiest of days. If you have a favorite top or dress you can't seem to find the right bra for, this is your answer.

    BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties, because quite frankly I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable.

    I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5-stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"

    Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes and five shades). 

    15. Brazilian Bum Bum Cream with more than 30,100 5-star ratings, proving that this cult-favorite moisturizing body lotion is, in fact, worth it. It's infused with caffeine, guarana extract, and coconut oil that work together to help tighten *and* smooth skin while leaving a "heavenly" smell behind. It will help revive all the skin that's been hiding under sweaters and pants now that it's warm out.

    Promising review: "Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive lotion...then I bought one for my mom and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I’m not usually a sucker for marketing, but this was so worth it." —Kristen

    Get it from Amazon for $45.60

    16. heatless curling rod headband, a great option for anyone who wants perfectly coiled hair without having to spend any time in the morning with a curling iron. Get out and enjoy that sunshine! Simply wrap your hair around the headband before you go to bed, and you'll wake up to big curls. (Sans heat damage!)

    The set includes a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. You can use this on all hair types, but reviewers say it works best when used with damp hair!

    Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in six colors). 

    17. Nyx glitter primer — a must-have for anyone who has secured Eras tickets for this summer and wants to ensure their makeup look will ~shimmer~ through the whole 3.5-hour show. Or even if you just like a glitter look for any other occasion, this will help keep it in place all night long.

    Promising review: "Loooooove this. I've used a lot of glitter primers and usually they work for a little while, an hour, maybe two, and never up against sweat. I used this on Halloween and am now using it to swatch any of my glitters for nails or makeup. And this holds AMAZINGLY. I did dishes and made lunch while having the pictured snowflake on to swatch glitter colors and it did not budge, I had to use micellar water and a makeup wipe just to get it off a little. So definitely recommend!" —Seriously Lacqueing

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

    18. An exfoliating scrub mitt useful for removing all the excess dead skin and particles on your skin that regular soap doesn't get to. Since your legs are seeing a lot more sunlight then they're used to the rest of the year, this is a great tool to keep them ready for you to throw on that cute sundress.

    Plus, it's also great for removing self-tanner and can reduce ingrown hairs while also increasing circulation. 

    Promising review: "My skin is 100% softer and feels far smoother thanks to this product!!! The difference was noticeable after ONE use, its true. All the grime, rolled up skin, flakes and chunks — shudder, that was on me??? All the other customers are saying how disgusting it is when you see how much dead skin sloughs off, and that is true. I disagree that it only comes off after the first use though — I have continued to see improvement over the time I've used it, about 6 weeks, and even some age-related and sun damage discoloration is gone. These are the BEST, a MUST-HAVE, holy grail exfoliating mittens. I DEFINITELY recommend this! Did I say I recommend this 100%? I do!" — Kindle Customer. g'ma

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a set of two). 

    19. Or a silicone exfoliating brush with an easy-to-hold handle you can use before shaving to help ensure you don't end up with those annoying (and oh-so painful) in-grown hairs and razor burn. Reviewers with sensitive skin say this works for them!

    Promising review: "It is surprising how something so simple like exfoliating would make such big positive changes in the way my skin feels. My sensitive skin doesn't accept anything rough on it, so this soft silicone bristle brush was a great alternative. I have regained my confidence, and I was able to wears shorts and tank tops all summer. This is huge for me since I used to be so embarrassed that people would see my sore skin after shaving." —Season Castrataro

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors and also a two-pack).

    20. A pack of DressWeights designed to prevent you from having a Marilyn Monroe moment when you decide to wear a dress.

    Dress Strong is a woman-owned small business based in New York City. The weights are reusable and the adhesive on the back should last for about six uses (with proper care).

    Promising review: "What an amazing invention! I had my bridesmaids use these for my destination wedding. I got married outside by a very windy gazebo and they worked like a charm. Highly recommend!" —kimberlyo143

    Get one set from Dress Strong on Etsy for $15.

    21. hydrating eye stick formulated with glacial waters, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, dimethicone, citric acid, and brown algae to help reduce under-eye circles and puffiness. You can even keep this lil' cutie in its natural temperature (aka the fridge) for a dose of cool that will feel extra refreshing.

    Promising reviews: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99

    22. A detangling brush reviewers (more than 52,200 actually) swear works magic on all hair types (including 2c–4c), detangling easily without pulling or damaging the hair. No more painful detangling sessions like the ones you had growing up that have basically scarred you for life.

    Black reviewer with 3c-4a showing how the brush hels detangle without messing up curl pattern
    A reviewer holding up the bristled side of the brush

    Plus, the brush works on both wet and dry hair!

    Promising reviews: "I have thick, down to my butt long curly hair, so brushing has always been hell. Usually, I have to deep condition my hair, brush it out before I wash it (about a half hour), then brush it in the shower, and after my shower, to try and keep it manageable. I never thought that it would matter what brush I used for my hair because its just always been the same no matter what I use. BUT THIS BRUSH. Oh my gosh! It has cut my hair brushing time down from 45 minutes to about 5! And the best part, is that I can even brush it when it's dry! It doesn't rip or tug, my hair doesn't get poofy or frizzy, and it just takes away my knots and leaves my curls. It is built really well, tough enough to withstand even my nutty hair! Doesn't have those awful little beads that rip off in your hair. This is a life-changer for me!" —Ryan Turner

    "I love this brush. I have 4c hair and it detangles my hair without a lot of hair loss. I do make sure my hair is wet when using it to detangle. The brush is pretty easy to clean, as well by just pulling the hair out and using running water. The only thing that could be better is the handle could be longer." —Nikki Jenks

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in nine colors).

    23. natural foot balm featuring a mix of beeswax, cocao butter, coconut oil, olive, oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, and essential oils to give your dry, cracked, and calloused feet some instant relief before you slip them into a pair of sandals. Roll this all over your heels and ball of your foot after a shower or bath for the best results.

    Pickle's Potions / Etsy

    This Maine-based small business specializes in handmade natural skincare products including the foot balm, as well as serums, creams, and more.

    Promising review: "Very cute and handy packing. It is like lip balm for your feet. I like how I don't have to use my fingers while applying this on my feet. Generally most foot creams and balms come in jars, and putting them on my feet leaves my fingers oily, which then transfers onto my laptop or phone screen...ugghh. But this Hoof Healer is completely mess free. I have used it only twice till now, and I already notice a massive difference in my heels. Fully recommended. Thank you so much, Kristin, for the beautiful product and phenomenal customer service. :D" —Shai

    Get it from Pickle's Potions on Etsy for $12+ (available in two materials and three scents).

    24. And a foot file if it's been a little bit too long since you got your last pedicure. This will scrape off all the dead skin and calluses to make your feet soft and smooth again. Sandal season better watch out because here you come!

    Promising review: "AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them! This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" —Kyla Jackson

    Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

    25. Or a foot buffer actually made with etched glass for a gentler solution to help remove those built-up callouses that have found a home on your feet. You can use it when you're either wet or dry to help remove dead skin.

    Promising review: "I have used this 3 times now (once per week) after a shower and my feet are looking and feeling so much better! You don't need a lot of pressure, you can go side-to-side, up and down or in gentle circles and it is effective." —Brandi

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99

    26. A caffeinated butt mask about to ~wake up~ your skincare routine and improve the skin texture and tone of your behind. With swimsuit season here, you'll be so very thankful to have this arrive at your door.

    Promising review: "I will definitely be investing in more of these masks. I was a bit skeptical to try a must for my butt (lol) but I actually felt it work! I felt the firmness and detox! I would recommend trying it, I will be purchasing more for sure. Thumbs up!" —Lauren

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99.

    27. A super cute bandana halter brami (bra + cami) that's actually designed with padding in the top, meaning you won't have to worry about finding a bra that works with it. You can totally grab this from your closet when you realize it is wayyyyy to nice out to sit in your house anymore. Happy hour on a patio, anyone?

    Get it from Klassy Network for $39 (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL, three colors, and three padding colors).

    28. sun milk about to be your new BFF because not only does it have SPF 50+, so it's basically a sunscreen and primer in one, but it also has a double layer UV-blocking system that can last through sweat and water. (Hello beach, here I come!) Plus, it can work to help even your skin tone and create a smooth base for makeup. WOW!

    In the photos above, the reviewer shows their skin before apply, after applying, and then with a layer of makeup on top.

    Promising review: "For me, this goes on almost like a primer, which I really like when I have to apply makeup to my already oily skin during the hot, humid Texas summers. I can reapply later on top of what's already on my face, and it still looks and feels matte and slightly moisturized with the sun protection I want." —christine

    Get it from Amazon for $20.25.

    29. Knix thigh saver shorts that are thin enough so you don't overheat the second you step outside but thick enough to put a layer between your legs so you don't end up with a nasty chafing rash after wearing a dress around town all day.

    Knix

    I recently got a pair of these and am SO glad I did. I've worn them a few times under dresses, but I recently wore them to the Eras tour when I was outside for 8+ hours, and it was about 80 degrees for a good chunk of that time. I was wearing a maxi dress that had some layers to it, and these were so thin I could barely feel them. I walked a TON, stood, and danced, and these always moved with me. I was so glad to have that layer of protection between my legs. I know for sure I will continue to wear these anytime I wear a dress this summer. They are perfect.

    Promising review: "So comfortable! I love that my thighs no longer rub together. I also love that my bare legs and bottom are protected when seated. My only regret is that I didn’t get the 6” which I am going to order now!" —Nadine D.

    Get them from Knix for $36 (available in women's sizes XS–XXXL, in six colors, and in a six-inch length style).

    30. Or a pair of anti-chafing bands if you want an option that only goes around your thighs. Just slip these on, and they'll protect that vulnerable area while you're wearing dresses and skirts without tights. 🙌

    Promising review: "These things are amazing. Measure your thighs and buy them. Now. They are life changing and thigh saving. Cool enough to wear in the summer, though I would recommend only wearing them for like six hours the first few times. I went HAM and wore them for 12 hours in the middle of August, and I had a small welt on one thigh. No biggie, went away after a day or two. If your thighs even kiss each other, BUY THESE." —Kelsy

    Get a pair from Amazon for $20.69 (available in women's sizes S–3X and in 18 styles).

    Plus, check out BuzzFeed's video review of Bandellettes anti-chafing thigh bands (and a few other things to help chafing) here.

    31. Or Megababe's Thigh Rescue that you apply directly to the affected area, meaning you can put it on other body parts (including arms, under boobs, or anywhere you feel rubbing) to help stop chafing while out and about.

    Promising review: "I used to dread wearing sunscreen because of that horrible ashy cast it gave my brown skin. Now? I actually look forward to putting this stuff on. I love how moisturizing it is and that it is completely sheer. What it is advertised to do it actually does. I layer this on top of my moisturizer. You do need to work it in a little bit but it absorbs into the skin nicely. To all my brown/Black ladies/fellas, what are you waiting for? Buy it!" —MD

    Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. The packaging wasn't over the top exciting, but it provided you all the info you needed. (It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep.) After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pickup everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

    Promising review: "After yet another bad sunburn even though I'm trying VERY HARD to keep sunscreen on, I bought these. First use was at Disneyland on a 90-degree zero clouds day. This helped so much! I kept an eye (as did my friends) on the dot, so we all knew when to reapply sunscreen and not one of us got burned. I also used these on a weeklong hiking adventure in Utah where it was also in the 90s with an extreme UV index. None of us got burned, so all in all this is one of the best inventions!" —Catherine Shock

    Promising review: "This product is a lifesaver, simply amazing!! My before picture (above) is from two months ago without using Tendskin after shaving. That’s how bad my thighs used to get two to three days after shaving. I used to cry so much because EVERYTHING hurt my thighs, including my silk covers. As you can see, it’s a tremendous difference in the after picture. Although I still have scars, my shaving doesn’t bring tears to my eyes anymore. It’s helped with razor bumps, ingrown hairs, dark spots, and my sensitivity to denim." —Kim

That night I woke with my legs and feet both burning and itching. The instant I put this on I had relief. OMG I cannot say enough about this stuff. Buy it. Keep it on hand. Great product. Thank you, Burt's Bees!" —D.S.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love Olaplex for my thick, wavy hair that’s prone to frizz. It helps to smooth out my hair without making it feel greasy or weighed down. I use it on damp hair and then style as usual, either leave as is or in braids. I can tell the difference between when I use it and when I don’t, and it makes my hair look noticeably smoother and healthier. 10/10 recommend." —RS77

    Promising review: "BEST SHORTS EVER. I was so excited for these shorts to come in since I’ve seen them all over TikTok and only heard the best reviews. When I got them in the mail today and put them on, I Immediately got them in two other colors. They are so soft and amazing for just about anything. They are so comfortable. However, they do run a little small, but it’s no big deal since I sized up anyway. 100/10." —cosimamosher owens
