44 Beauty Products Reviewers “Can’t Beat The Price” On

Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 128,000 positive 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 (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), 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: “This has became my favorite mascara. It lasts and doesn’t dry super fast so you can build it as much as you want. It comes off easily with my eye makeup remover and doesn’t flake throughout the day. I also love the wand (this part is huge for me) it glides the mascara on perfectly and separates my lashes. I have been using this stuff since January and have not looked back! For the price and quality you cannot beat it!” —Nash Native

Promising review: “Even during this stay-at-home era, I continue to wear at least basic makeup to make ME feel good. This gloss is a perfect color and the price can’t be beat. Also appreciate that it’s both flavorless and fragrance free.” —Karen Templeton

Promising review: “Love love love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile. Can be worn alone for some to put some glowy life to skin. Add to foundation or layer it. Beautiful. Use it as a base wear you put highlighter on top. Mix some with moisturizer. This in my opinion is better than so many high luxury brands that make similar products. And I am pretty sure it can be used by all skin types. It’s not oily feeling at all and it doesn’t dry out skin either. Just a total package. Can’t beat the price either.” —Figgy08

This tool also helps soften skin by gently exfoliating as you use it!

Promising review: “For the price you just can’t beat this! If you hold your skin taut and glide the razor over your skin it DOES take off the top dead layer of skin and also all the baby hairs, so it definitely does what it claims to. It’s very easy to hold and use, too. Each one comes with a nice plastic sheath to protect the blade. But the blades do dull quickly so I usually throw one away and move on to the next after two to three uses. Baby hairs do not grow back rough or stubbly and that was my original worry. Dermaplaning like this at least once every few weeks helps your skin feel and look more radiant and helps makeup go on smoother for sure. I love it. Dermatologist charge $100–$250 for what these little tools can do for you at home.” —Muffy

Promising review: “After doing a lot of research, I finally decided to give this product a try due to the fact my normal waxing place had closed because of COVID. I was looking for something specifically to help with my upper lip and cheeks. I had tried home waxing and lotions before but always ended up with severe irritation and results that did not last. I was fully expecting some pain and discomfort with this product, but wasn’t going to mind if it did a nice job. I was beyond surprised to find that it does not hurt at all!! And yet the results have lasted me just as long as a normal waxing! It was easy to set up, is simple to use, and I love the fact it comes in a cute portable case with a spare head included! For the price, you simply can’t beat it! I would highly recommend and have already convinced some family and friends to get their own!” —Audrey S.

LOL, allow me to be the one to shout to GRAB THIS WHILE YOU CAN. I’ve been trying to snag it for weeks and, thanks to TikTok, it’s constantly out of stock. Now is finally our chance!

Promising review: “WOW!!!! I’ve been looking for a pore-filling primer for some time now, I am very very picky and usually try to do super-lightweight ones because my skin is sensitive, so I was a tad skeptical of this because it looks so thick in the package photos. However, I’m a BELIEVER now, y’all. It’s much less thick than it looks and spreads super easily and evenly. My pores are getting smaller thanks to a new skincare routine, but I’ve been SO frustrated trying to find a primer that will actually conceal them so they don’t completely suck up the foundation and make me look awful. This. Is. IT. You can’t beat this for the price. I’ve even tried the Maybelline Baby Skin pore filler primer and this blows it out of the water. Can’t beat it, especially for the price!!!!” —Jody Ferguson

This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!

Promising review: “This stuff is really amazing. I shampooed as normal and used this in place of conditioner and didn’t have to put anything else in my hair. It is so extremely soft and while I normally have nice hair, my boyfriend actually commented on how nice my hair looked without knowing I used a new product. You can’t beat the price. I bought as presents for three people, that’s how much I love it.” —CLynn

Promising review: “I am never buying Beautyblender–brand sponges again. These work just as well, are softer, and you can’t beat the price! I’ve been using these since September 2019. Personally I think they apply makeup better and don’t stain nearly as bad. Also noted that when cleansed, you don’t get tons of dye and color rinsed out. There’s none of that. I much prefer these to Beautyblender or Real Techniques, which I wasn’t that impressed with. Over five months of use, they’re still in great shape, no splits, rips, or tears. They don’t appear to absorb as much product, either, as other sponges I’ve tried. They apply and blend makeup beautifully, and I really couldn’t be happier with them. I’ll definitely be ordering again when my current ones are ready to be replaced.” —Sharie

TBH, at the start of the pandemic I started using this myself (although this is BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo’s lovely human face above), and I am mad that I wasted time with other concealers for so long. I am a deeply impatient person who likes to look good and does not like to put in effort in any way, shape, or form, and Maybelline created this so that people like me could gracelessly slap it on in the morning and be like “OKAY, REFLECTION, YOU GOT THIS” before being on their merry way. It never cakes, I look way more awake than I have any right to, and I never struggle to blend it the way I do with other concealers. 11/10 subscribe.

Promising review: “Best coverage for under-eye bags and dark circles! I have used a lot of expensive eye products in the past and this has them all beat. I have light- to medium-olive complexion and was perplexed as to what color to choose. I went with the Brightener and it was a perfect match. My daughter is darker olive and it also looks good on her. Looks and feels great and can’t beat the price.” —Ana R.

Promising review: “You cannot beat these for the price. Each mask contains a good amount of serum, so I put any left in the pouch on my neck. They feel cool on my face, and I can tell a difference immediately after use. I have dewy skin, but it’s not sticky. I’m not sure if there is much difference between the different formulas, but they all seem to work. All of the masks are white and the serum is clear and nearly odorless. I’ve ordered my second set.” —Avid Reader

Promising review: “OMG what a great find. When I found these pillowcases I was actually looking for a different brand, but when I saw the price and read the reviews I purchased these instead, and I wasn’t disappointed. I tossed them in the washer and then dried them on medium heat for about 10 minutes or so — came out looking great. The fabric is silky smooth and soft. I am planning to purchase more colors to go with different sheet sets. You can’t beat the price and the quality is excellent.” —El’Jaie

Promising review: “You can’t beat the price. The most perfect creamy, pigmented, and easy to put on eyeliner ever. I think most eyeliners are a bit stiff and kind of tug on the eye when you apply it but not this liner! I bought it in black but will be buying it in other colors as well. Also! If you like to smudge your waterline, this liner is perfect for that.” —Kaykay

Psst — this tool is double sided, so you can choose the thickness of your wing, and comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye!

Promising review: “This goes on well and stays well. I cannot wing eyeliner for the life of me and this does it for me!! I just repurchased a second time and it’s been almost a year since my first purchase…I use this daily! That means it lasted me almost a year. Can’t beat the price point and quality for that! I also enjoy the clean ingredients. :)” —Nickel

Each kit comes with a UV LED nail lamp, six colors of gel polish, three bottles of base coat, cuticle oil, a toe separator, a nail file, a buffer, nail clippers, a brush, two cuticle tools, and a brush duster.

Promising review: “Loved it! I am not very good at doing my own nails but this thing is great to work with and actually getting me excited to do it on my own. Awesome quality and you can’t really beat the price. The kit comes with everything you need for a mani or even pedi at home. I am recommending this product to all my friends as I am very satisfied and will buy more gel colors. So far I have had the mani for a week and it is still going strong in my opinion. Let me mention the fact that I am a mom so constantly doing a million little things such as dishes, house chores, etc.” —Amazon Customer

Promising review: “Hi, this nail polish is very good. What I like the most about this is its shine and quick dry. You cannot really beat the price. I also like the fact that there are so many different colors in the set. This is SO WORTH YOUR MONEY. Give it a try.” —Wanks

Unlike other hair dryers, this one can be held closer to the roots and scalp for a higher volume and lift, and helps you curl hair at the end while it dries. It comes with three heat settings and is designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2a through 4c hair mentioned it working for them, and especially noted that it helps cut down on drying time!

Promising review: “I love this hair dryer! I have the ridiculously expensive Dyson dryer and I actually like this one better! Very easy to use if you have long hair or extensions! It’s a little big so could be awkward to hold but its pretty lightweight! If your as unskilled as I’m at drying your hair with a round brush and dryer at the same time this will be a lifesaver! I’ve only had it a few months but so far I love it! The hype is real and you can’t beat the price!” —Erica

I started using one of these a few months ago and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo. I have a whole lot of hair on my head so sometimes it’s a struggle to feel like I’ve soaped up my whole scalp thorough, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots. I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front, too. I’ve noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I’m echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice.

Promising review: “I have thick hair so I was looking for a good scalp shampoo massager and this was Amazon’s highest-rated one, and it did not disappoint. It works very well! So well that I’ve had to order a second one because my husband loved it and stole mine. Plus you can’t beat the price!” —Amazon Customer

Psst — a lot of reviewers also swear by this for relieving eczema!

Promising review: “My hands always tend to dry out during the winter months, especially at work, where a furnace is constantly kicking on repeatedly and drying out the surrounding air. I seldom can apply lotion because I do quite a bit of typing for my job and use the touch screen of my phone very often, leaving a greasy trail on both. I decided to give Working Hands a try because it didn’t appear to be a conventional lotion and I read many positive reviews. The bottom line: For the price, you really can’t beat it. I put it on after I wash my hands in the morning and once or twice during the day. It feels much different while rubbing it in, and makes my fingers and palms feel ‘slick’ for a brief period afterwards. However, within a few minutes, my hands are moisturized and don’t feel greasy at all. Highly recommended for anyone who works with their hands and/or frequently washes them.” —G

This brush is designed to work on all hair types, but reviewers with 2c through 4c hair say it has worked well for them. It also works on wet *and* dry hair, so you don’t have to time out your brushing.

Promising review: “This is the best brush ever for my daughters thick, curly hair! I would recommend this one over the more expensive ones. You can’t beat it for the price. Her hair looks great and it’s super soft!” —Robyn Jensen

The razor has two edges, a fine-tooth one for thin hair textures, and a wider one for thicker hair textures. (FWIW, people also use this on their pets as a quick grooming solution!)

Promising review: “Wow! Before I bought this I watched YouTube videos to see how this worked. I decided to buy it and I was impressed! Easy to use and it does a great job. Can’t beat the price! Worth every penny.” —ElkElk

FWIW, it also helps condition and strengthen eyelashes, eyebrows, and skin, so it really just shows up for you no matter what the task.

Promising review: “I’ve only been using this product for about two weeks, but I’ve noticed a massive difference with my eyebrows. I originally bought this to treat my thinning hair and have been applying it three times weekly to my scalp, but my eyebrows appear to have the quickest reaction to the oil. I don’t even have to pencil them in anymore! So far I’m really diggin’ this product. Also, shipping was fast and the price was right up my alley. You really can’t beat $15.” —GG

People in the reviews are also singing its praises for reducing the size of their pores! Many of them advise mixing the mask with apple cider vinegar for best results.

Promising review: “I’ve been using this product for two years and I love it so much. It is the only face mask I use. One container lasts me about a year and for the price, it can’t be beat. This mask detoxes, tightens, and brightens my skin. I use it anywhere from once to three times a month depending on skin issues. I mix it with only apple cider vinegar but the mixture can be diluted with water for sensitive skin (definitely dilute the first time you try it). I cannot recommend this product enough!” —Elisabeth

Promising review: “I have combination skin and have been using this product for almost a year now, and I love it!! After about a month of use I noticed an obvious difference on my lid area being less puffy. It does the job and you can’t beat the price! It also smells lovely! I loved this product enough to try out their face moisturizer as well and it’s great too!” —KO Neill
