1. A pack of 24-karat gold cooling eye gels packed with hydrating superstar hyaluronic acid, plumping collagen, and brightening seaweed to reduce puffiness, moisturize, and strengthen skin. These masks are luxurious not just because they feature glam 24k gold 🤩 but also because of their seriously powerful results.
Promising review: "Their shape is perfect for not missing any area under the eyes and they're super comfortable to wear. They stick well and don't fall off, yet pull off easily when done. My skin felt the difference immediately and I can actually see results after my third application. I'm in my 40s and had a fair amount of puffiness and dark spots, but these have smoothed out the puffiness and lightened the dark spots. My skin actually feels tighter and smooth. This is a nice product to make you feel luxurious at home without high costs." —Angela Dooling

2. A set of satin pillowcases that'll reduce friction on your skin and hair as you sleep, helping prevent creasing on your face, split ends, tangles, and irritated skin. Oh, and you'll also feel like royalty laying your head on smooth, soft satin every night.
PS: They also keep your pillow cool if you sleep hot, which will help you sleep more comfortably.
I finally took the plunge and bought some satin pillowcases, and OMG, I wish it hadn't taken me so long! I have 2c-3a curly hair, and for years I'd go to sleep with intact curls and wake up to a nest of frizzy hair that was basically the ghost of curls past. For the first time ever, my curls now survive the night. Is this a *miracle*? No — you're likely to experience *some* frizz in the morning no matter what, if you're like me and toss and turn a lot at night. But there's truly a night-and-day difference in my hair when I do and don't use my satin cases. BTW, I haven't experienced any creasing on my face since I've made the switch, which is kinda unbelievable. And I honestly do feel a bit like a princess resting my head on cool, smooth satin after a long day.
Promising review: "These pillowcases are lovely! They're so silky soft that they're a dream to sleep on. I definitely see less of those pesky 'morning pillow wrinkles' (which now take hours to fade and not the 15–30 minutes like during my teens!) and my hair also seems softer and less static-y. The folding, stitching, etc. also seems a bit more luxurious than the other satin pillowcases I've seen. Not only does it help with wrinkles and your hair, I feel like it pulls out less moisture from my skin during my sleep because my skin feels slightly more moisturized in the morning (despite no change to my skincare products/routine). I've just ordered one more set today for my mom." —Kristi

3. An ice roller whose luxe chill calms and de-puffs skin, shrinks the appearance of pores, and enhances circulation to promote the health of your body's largest organ: your skin! It also helps relieve fatigue — there's nothing quite like running this thing over your under-eyes when you're feeling drained.
See it on TikTok here.
The ice roller comes with a detachable head and handle. Store the ice roller head in the freezer separate from the handle, which should stay room temperature. When you're ready to use the roller, remove the head from the freezer and reattach to the handle (it easily clicks in place)! It can also help soothe oncoming headaches.
I love this ice roller for whenever I feel like my skin needs a pick-me-up! I also use it when I feel a headache coming, and it reduces the intensity and sometimes curbs it altogether.
Promising review: "I am absolutely in love with this. I use it every night and morning. I have noticed a decrease in sinus pain and congestion. I have less oily skin. My make up goes on smoother and lasts longer. I look like I’m glowing just a bit more! It’s a great little spa treatment for myself every day." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in nine colors, including packs of two).
You can also check out this ice roller that you fill with liquid yourself, so you can add in anything from essential oils to green tea or even petals.
4. A luxurious, lightweight L'Oreal rinse-out moisturizing hair treatment that utilizes amino acids to repair damage and restore shine in only eight seconds.
It's activated by water, so you can apply it after shampoo but before conditioner to let it work its magic! Recommended usage is 2–3 times a week. Reviewers say it works on all hair types, including straight hair and curl types 3a–4c.
Promising reviews: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me, I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair...I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey
"This stuff works. My hair was so dry and brittle, I tried a hair mask, deep conditioned it three times, etc., and nothing worked. I tried this the day I bought it and now my hair is soooo luxurious, soft, and bouncy. This stuff is magical." —@___.Fuego ig
Get it from Amazon for $9.38'.
5. A pack of reusable and DEEPLY satisfying exfoliating washcloths for scrubbing the dead skin off your body and revealing the ~baby-soft~ skin underneath. Reviewers attest: this product does not come to play — and you'll see immediate results.
I use these about once a week, and they are *chef's kiss*. Stay in the shower or bath for five or 10 minutes with moderately hot water before using, which will soften up your skin so that when you start scrubbing; dead skin will basically roll straight off your body. Your skin will look and feel as good as new after, and SUPER soft. One of my favorite shower products, and worth every penny.
Promising reviews: "I seriously cannot stop touching my skin. I'm so soft!! I'm so soft, I'd make a baby feel like a cactus! It makes me feel like polished silk, it's amazing! I'd recommend this to be used at most once a week because it is THAT good at removing dead skin. This plus the use of AmLactin lotion has given me the softest skin I've ever known and I am very satisfied with both products!" —Essie
"I use once a week in the bath. It removes dead skin and leaves my skin soft and clean, for such a small amount of money. No more dry, flaky itchiness! My skin feels like I went to an expensive spa for a few dollars." —Lauren

6. A uniquely designed scalp stimulator acupressure tool handcrafted with top-grade jade to increase blood flow to your scalp so circulation to your hair will open up, allowing your follicles to reap the health benefits. Pair with an oil or hair serum to massage into your roots with the stimulating comb, and your scalp will be in heaven — and your hair noticeably more nourished.
I had never tried any gua sha products before the jade scalp stimulator, so I was a little skeptical and wasn't sure how much I would get out of it. As I started working the comb into my routine, however, I realized I was loving it. The pressure of the comb teeth against my scalp and through my dense hair, which both rarely get much blood circulation, felt amazing. I can feel the stimulation of my roots when I use this, and it's also just downright an awesome massage. It's one of my favorite beauty items now and I carry it around from my bedside table, to my vanity, to my couch, and back again so I can use it whenever I can, lol. It's the kind of luxury that's truly an investment in my body and in keeping my scalp and hair healthy — and the tool is so high-quality, I can tell it's going to last a very long time. I 10/10 recommend, and can't wait to try out more of Lanshin's products.
Promising review: "When I received the scalp stimulator, it became clear to me that what I held in my hand was not just a piece of jade, but that it was created with intention; a lot of thought and creativity went into spaces in the comb and its length. It’s luxurious and it’s perfection! It feels amazing on the scalp, it melts the tension and you can even use it on your hand for pressure points. I love it and plan to order more so that I can always have one with me." —Paula H.

7. A bottle of uber-affordable Elizavecca hair treatment packed with collagen and soy protein to revive damaged, dull, or brittle hair in five minutes, revealing soft, nourished strands. This is salon-level haircare for under 10 bucks, folks!
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review: "You need this hair treatment in your life! I don't write a review unless I'm completely impressed with a product, but this hair treatment is a game changer. I have curly hair that I dye red every 7–8 weeks. It has been dry and brittle for months and I have tried so many products to add moisture. Nothing worked until this little miracle came along. I have used it twice this week and after the first time my hair was soft and no longer felt dry. After the second treatment my hair was downright luxurious! If 10 stars were possible I'd happily give them." —Amy K
Get it from Amazon for $7.14.

8. A plumping lip mask infused with sweet agave, willow bark, and hyaluronic acid to quench dryness and smooth and soften lips so your mouth will be silky, hydrated, and full. Your lips deserve some TLC, and this pretty pink balm will feel like a dream every time you apply it. Plus, it's cruelty-free!
Besides its subtle scent that I adore and its perfect pink coloring (seriously, I want all my products to look like this), this lip mask became a staple for me as soon as it stepped into my skincare routine. It's deeply moisturizing despite its light texture, and wears as well in daytime as it does as a nighttime treatment. For anyone wanting to add softness or hydration to dry or chapped lips, it's a no-brainer. A little goes a long way, too.
Promising review: "Incredible product. Better than the Laneige mask and clean formula too which is great. Its beauty is in its ability to deliver more lasting results — even when the mask is off, I can tell my lips have been plumped and are much healthier. It is the best lip mask I've tried and has helped my lips loads <3" —KristinaGills

9. Cult-fave Weleda Skin Food cream to intensely nourish dry skin with chamomile, pansy, and rosemary so you'll get a moisture boost that's downright luxe. It can also be used as a makeup primer!
Promising review: "This is a MUST-have! A MUST! I am always looking for that rich moisturizer that leaves your face so hydrated that you look fresh and rejuvenated, that is this stuff!!!! This is the most luxurious cream that truly continues to work, I never breakout or become too greasy, yet my skin looks HYDRATED and beautiful! I have tried many expensive products, this one tops them all! I won't go without this stuff!! I LOVE IT!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and travel packs of 10).
10. A set of foam rods so you can curl your hair without the heat damage that comes with traditional curling irons. Wrap strands around each foam curler while your hair is damp, let them sit overnight, and ~behold~ luxurious, bouncy curls in the morning.
The wands vary in size so you can pick the size you prefer. Reviewers recommend putting a leave-in conditioner in your damp hair when you use these for optimum curling.
Promising reviews: "I purchased these for a trip, and I love the convenience! These were really good quality and helped my 4b hair hold a beautiful curl. I totally recommend. I have mid-length, shoulder-length hair, and these did wonderfully with that length." —Summer
"I absolutely love these. I have naturally super straight hair that is near impossible to ever put a wave (much less a curl) into. I showered, towel-dried my hair, put them into my hair, and covered my head in a silk cap so i wouldn't inadvertently knock one out of my hair. My curls turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I added a drop or two of Moroccan oil to add extra shine and a spritz of hairspray for added texture and hold. After church and other errands, my hair still looked flawless. Thirteen hours later, my curls were still luxurious before bed! I really like these little rods because they are safe on my hair that is prone to damage. First time trying anything like this. GREAT PRODUCT." —Amazing Customer

11. A reviewer-obsessed foundation brush with a luxurious 200,000 dense, soft bristles (!!!) that apply makeup without streaking or absorbing (read: wasting) any product, all for less than $10. YES PLEASE.
This brush is best used wet for applying makeup and can be used on powder or liquid formulas.
Promising reviews: "Luxury on a budget. This brush is so soft and feels like a high-end brush! It works amazing!" —Karmalee Thompson
"I’ve used many different high end brushes and this one is by far my favorite. I reach for it daily. It applies a flawless finish that I’m obsessed with. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed. I also love the shape and I think it’s great for travel." —kristine montello

12. A reviewer-beloved bottle of nail and cuticle repair oil you can apply once a day to nourish your nails with a conditioning and strengthening treatment. It'll make them shine *and* give you relief from painful hangnails, brittleness, and breakage — the light almond scent is just the cherry on top.
Promising review: "This is a must in between gel polish. It's very luxurious and moisturizing and smells so good! Take care of your nails and they will be gorgeous." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four sizes).
13. Epielle Hydrating Foot Masks full of shea butter and jojoba oil to treat your hardworking feet to some rejuvenating, luxurious love.
These are vegan and cruelty-free!
Promising reviews: "Inexpensive luxury that really do make your feet feel great again." —Chuck Koernig
"I had been dubious about this product and whether it would really work on my heels, which had become horribly cracked, tough and rough. To my surprise they worked amazingly well. I kept them on for about one hour and in that time they managed to make a huge difference. The product is very easy to put on. I was astonished to see how much difference the socks made in just one hour. I will certainly buy the product again. In fact, I have included this product in my monthly subscribe and save list. I highly recommend these hydrating socks." —Nemo_dat

14. A pore-clearing stainless-steel skin spatula that's so effective, you'll feel like you just went to a spa — for a fraction of the price. This lil' whiz majorly de-gunks clogged pores using high-frequency vibrations so your skin will be able to absorb products better, delivering a facial treatment worth way more money than you paid for it (~that's the way we like it~).
The images above show the skin spatula with all the gunk and sebum removed from the reviewer's skin after use, and the gunk a different reviewer cleaned from their face after wiping their scrubber off on some cotton pads.
See it in action on TikTok here.
I finally caved and bought this during Black Friday, and wow, I am SO glad I did. Blackheads are less of an issue for me than cystic acne, and it worked beautifully for both, and somehow very gently, too. The first time I used it, I could see all the stubborn gunk in my skin being extracted — gunk that was still there despite having just showered and regularly adhering to a pretty strict skincare regimen (!). I use the Blume Nourishing Face Oil to keep my skin moist while using it, which worked well for me (they recommend using a toner, water, or some other moisturizing agent, and after forgetting to once, I agree that it is crucial LOL). Afterwards, my skin felt softer than it's felt in years, and super clean without being at all tight. In short, a great product and definitely a staple for me.
Promising review: "I have hormonal skin that overproduces sebum. The photo [above, left] speaks for itself. I used it right out of a hot shower while my skin was still wet and it extracted so much! I’m starting to only use it once a week as your skin needs recovery time after a facial like this. Totally get it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors).
15. A unique solid moisturizing botanical bar made by hand with nourishing plant butters, luxurious nopal oil, and tepezcohuite, a plant native to Mexico that's known for luminizing skin and helping fade scars. BTW, it also eliminates the need for clunky, hard-to-recycle lotion bottles.
Promising review: "Blissful. This is the first time I'm trying a moisturizing bar. I love it. It's easy to use, I can control the amount I apply, it's not messy, and the scent is divine. I feel pampered. I will be purchasing this again, and would love to have more scents developed." —Kimm S.

16. An antioxidant-rich Supergoop broad-spectrum SPF 40 sunscreen that goes on completely clear and doubles as a makeup primer, so it's perfect for all skin tones and plays *really* nicely with makeup, leaving skin velvety soft and poreless. Plus, it protects your skin from the blue light emitted by tech devices! Who knew a sunscreen could be this luxurious.
This sunscreen is my holy grail, full stop. I love how smooth it leaves my skin, and it applies practically invisible. This is one of those products I've purchased again and again and again. And since I love applying it, it actually makes me wear sunscreen more — which is the real win.
Promising review: "This is the most luxurious sunscreen I've ever used. It feels so nice on, it makes my skin feel so soft and I think it blurs my pores! It doesn't leave a white cast and it won't cause any other skincare to pill. I let my mother use some and she was blown away by the quality of this sunscreen too! If you aren't sure if you want to buy this, at least buy the mini version just to try it, although you'll probably end up purchasing the full size immediately after you try it! It's that good! You won't regret it!" —SoTru
Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes).
17. An award-winning brightening saffron serum formulated with brightening turmeric, hyperpigmentation-fighting licorice root, and 100% rejuvenating saffron that's so effective, multiple reviewers call it "liquid gold."
A little goes a long way — only a few drops are needed to cover the whole face.
Promising review: "Magic in a bottle that feels divine! Hands down worth every penny. I'm on my sixth bottle and so glad Ranavat is at Sephora. Not only feels luxurious but has worked wonders on my skin for overall plumpness, glow and hydration. It is amazing under makeup, and I have a lot more makeup-free days these days because of it!" —tpat93

18. A multitasking cruelty-free eye cream to gift your under-eyes some hydration and help reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles using a gold-star combo of brightening vitamin C, gentle rosehip oil, and uber-soothing aloe. The under-eye area is sensitive, so it's extra important to treat it right — that's where this bb comes in.
Promising review: "LOVE how smooth this eye cream goes on!!! At first I was wondering what all the hype was about but...NOW I UNDERSTAND!!! Very lightweight and luxurious. There is no smell to it and I definitely see the elasticity getting better on my face and eyes. Sometimes I actually put it on all over my face, which the directions say you can do as well instead of just on your eyes. Great size for the price as well!!" —MM
Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in four sizes).
19. Fresh Rose Face Mask for a decadent, downright heavenly treatment infused with literal rose petals and packed with rose water, cucumber extract, and aloe vera to soften, plump, and hydrate. TL;DR: This face mask is nothing short of a QUEEN.
Promising review: "The best word to describe this face mask is luxurious. The mask goes on smoothly and leaves my face feeling and looking clean, brighter, and even-toned. Personally, I love the rose scent, and it smells beautiful. Even the jar feels substantial and has the 'clink' of glass rather than the clunkiness of plastic. The only downside is the price, but using this mask is such a treat after a long day of work or play." —LunaVIB
Get it from Sephora for $27+ (available in two sizes).
20. And a silicone facial applicator brush to apply your masks, because using your hands makes a mess and it just doesn't have to be that way!! It'll help you put your treatments on evenly without getting goop all over your hands, *and* it'll keep the jar of remaining product sanitary so it'll be good for longer. We love to see it.
Promising review: "Definitely worth it! These little brushes are so effective and luxurious. They will make you feel like you are at the spa having a facial! Truly a favorite purchase for me. Pro tip: Put them in the freezer about 10 minutes before use and they will feel extra cool and soothing on your skin." —Rachel Z.

22. A Rare Beauty blush the entire internet is obsessed with for its super pigmented, buildable shades that look stunning on all skin tones. Its luxurious packaging is just the cherry on top! It's gonna be hard for any other liquid blush to beat this one.
Promising review: "Selena isn't playing around! Any babe needs this. This blush is a godsend. It doesn’t feel heavy, and has never clogged my pores. I would love to try out more products of hers. Especially at her price point! It is just so affordable for such high-end makeup. It feels so luxurious to have in my kit. Rare Beauty reminds me to appreciate and bring out my natural beauty. I would recommend this to my mom, sisters, and future kin tbh. I’m in love." —Vickic163
Get it from Sephora for $23 (available in 11 shades).
23. And finally, a stainless-steel makeup mixing palette for blending blush, foundation, and lipstick to the exact shade you want, so you'll be able to mix one-of-a-kind colors like an artist. (Because hey, makeup *is* art!) No more using the back of your hand.
This comes with a mixing palette and a spatula to scoop and mix product. One side of the spatula is rounded and the other is sharp.
Promising review: "Why haven't I heard about how GREAT this is for applying foundation?!! It is like using a paint palette. You can spread the foundation out to an even layer and then it collects on your makeup brush evenly. It goes on so controlled and looks much better and more natural looking!! It will definitely save your foundation. So many years wasted by applying my makeup the hard way. I wish someone had told me about this years ago." —Shannon
