44 Cheaper Versions Of Popular Products So Good It’ll Feel Like A Trick

1. L’Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed. 

Promising review: “I’d yet to find anything (even foundation) that could cover up my red areas. Checks, chin, nose and forehead. It comes out green, but has a gorgeous lightweight finish of a tint that indeed covers my redness beautifully. There’s no greasiness to it at all. It dries down to a beautiful matte finish. It’s super easy to use. I use my fingers. The texture is like silk. It leaves my face baby soft, not sticky at all. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines or wrinkles and I don’t need powder to ‘bake’ it under my eyes. It also covers the black circles under my eyes.” —Julie F. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.84 (available in six styles). 

2. A pair of classic round polarized sunglasses so you can have the elevated look of Ray-Bans without the constant fear of losing $300 sunglasses somewhere because you got distracted squinting at a meme on Instagram. 

Promising review: “Sojos have been my number one choice of sunnies for years now. Even if Ray-Bans were this price, I’d still choose Sojos. They are high end quality without the price tag, lightweight yet durable, truly polarized, fashionable, comfortable, the list goes on! They are the best of the best, don’t hesitate, just buy them!” —maggie

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in eight styles). 

3. Catrice “Instant Awake” Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet’s holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone’s old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference — one that a lot of reviewers compare to the $33 Becca version. 

The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. 

Promising review: “Girlies with dark under-eyes, probs like myself, need to have a brightener! I used to spend $40 on Becca. This one is better in my opinion!! It’s very pigmented and covers blue hue in the corners of my eyes. It can be worn alone, but I prefer it under my concealer. It blends incredibly well. Very creamy and easy to apply. It will probably last me six months. A little dab goes a long way. It’s extremely buildable, too. I am just so in love. I’m a sucker for saving money, and this purchase just saved me over $30. I will recommend it to all my friends and family. Just BUY it!” —Caitlin Newcomb

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 

4. Plus Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, a cult-fave product that’s giving expensive eye creams a run for their money. This will quickly help minimize eye puffiness and swelling thanks to its winning combo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid — basically an alarm clock for your eyeballs because, boy, howdy are they awake now!! 

Promising review: “I never write reviews, but this eye cream has made a difference on my under eyes! I’ve only been using it for a week and I would definitely recommend it. I’ve bought different eye creams (expensive brands) and never noticed a difference as fast as I’ve seen using this product.” —Natalie

Get it from Amazon for $5.99

5. A high-quality, *just* compressive enough layering T-shirt reviewers love so much that a ton of them tried it and immediately ordered more colors to stock up. This shirt is double-lined but still feels lightweight on the skin, giving a sophisticated, expensive look with a casual feel. Reviewers compare it to Skims at a fraction of the price! 

Promising review: “At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn’t want to pay the price of one, LOL, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now.” —Julianne

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women’s sizes XXS–3X and in 29 colors).

6. E.l.f’s brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the “tubes” slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you’re washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. 

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. 

I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn’t even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I’ve tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I’m like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I’m a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I’m wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black. 

Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 

7. A set of chic, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds reviewers compare to AirPods, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (as in, you can sweat in them in the heat and then FULLY take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.

These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (with the earbuds able to play for four-plus hours with each full charge). 

Promising review: “I previously had Beats headphones that broke within three months. I bought these to replace my Beats headphones, and will never turn back. These headphones are amazing. They have a very long battery life. I love the case they come with. I use them in the gym four days a week, and they have not become waterlogged. If you’re looking for reliable headphones, I would highly recommend these!” —Tiffany

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in five colors and two sizes).

8. And a pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones designed to look like AirPods Max, so you can still enjoy the comfort and chic style of their iconic headphones without shelling out hundreds of dollars. These feature premium cushion padding, a built-in mic with the ability to take calls, 10 hours of playtime per charge, and surprisingly decent noise blocking for the price. 

iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. 

Promising review: “They’re comfortable, hold a charge really well, and actually work really well in terms of noise cancellation. My daughter can be sitting next to me talking and I can barely even hear her. I almost prefer these in terms of sound quality to my Gen 1 AirPods as well. Easy to charge, easy to pair, very lightweight, and fit is adjustable. I’m very impressed with these headphones!” —Samantha H. 

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five colors). 

9. Eos’ Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion, which TikTok is going *feral* over both because of the lightweight, long-lasting moisture, and the soothing, delicious smell that reviewers compare to more expensive brands like Philosophy and Bath & Body Works. 

Promising review: “Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly, for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn’t leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing.” —Dragonheart Jo

Get it from Amazon for $8.98.  

10. A pair of high-waisted crossover flare leggings your butt will thank you for in advance — these are the ultimate in comfort and breathability while still staying on trend. Reviewers who have more expensive pairs from Lululemon, GymShark, and Aerie actually say they *prefer* these over them. 

Promising review: “I had these leggings in my cart, and I contemplated as I typically buy Lululemon leggings, BUT your girl is on a BUDGET right now, so I decided to buy these. The day came, I received them, and Y’ALL, my butt…scrumptious. These leggings are very breathable, they are not see-through at all, and they hug my hips and make my lower body look amazing.” —Andrea

Get them from Amazon for $23.19 (available in women’s sizes XS–XXL, 6 styles/inseams, and 28 colors).

11. E.l.f.’s Holy Hydration! Lip Mask for anyone who wants to go TURBO on locking in enough moisture for the perfect pout, but winces at Laneige princes. This silky, hyaluronic acid-infused formula is designed not to stick, so it plays nice with other lip products at all times of the day. 

Promising review: “If I could give this lip mask 100 stars, I would. What is there not to love about this product? It’s beyond moisturizing and quite soft as you put it on, like butter. The scent has me perplexed. Not sure that’s the correct word to use. I know that scent. It reminds me of something from the ’70s or ’80s. The scent takes me back, but to where I do not know. AAAA++++, it’s a must-buy!” —Stina

Get it from Amazon for $7

12. Hair Chemist’s Sleek Spray, a humidity-resistant styling spray to help minimize frizz in humid climates and boost shine. If you’re hooked on the $28 Color Wow Dream Coat that’s been blowing up TikTok the past few years, you might want to try out this cheaper alternative! 

Promising review: “I have very wavy hair that doesn’t like humidity. It frizzes and tries to re-wave itself whenever I’ve straightened and gone out in the humidity. I tested this out on a 10-minute walk this morning with my dog in 97% humidity, and there was very minimal flyaways and very minimal, almost non-existent waves. This product is super lightweight and doesn’t make my hair greasy, which I’m prone to. I’d rate this 10 stars if I could! The smell is nice, too.” —Jaime

Get it from Amazon for $12.99

13. A pair of oversize fleece cargo joggers complete with POCKETS (just like the Nike version 👀), and made with a cotton blend so satisfyingly soft that it’ll be a miracle if you ever pull yourself out of Lounge Hound Mode again. 

Promising review: “High-quality baggy sweatpants. I love them so much I also bought four different colors. I wanted the slightly baggy, hang off my mid-waist look. They are very warm and soft inside. They have not changed size since washing and drying.” —MacBethany

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women’s sizes S–XL and 11 colors). 

14. L’Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer so intensely hydrating, plumping, and smoothing that reviewers compare it to the $92 Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream 👀. Not only is this super effective (and affordable!) for use overnight *and* overtime, but its nongreasy formula makes it play super well with makeup. 

Promising review: “I absolutely LOVE this product. The texture is just like the CT Magic Cream. It is super rich but doesn’t make the skin feel greasy. I have extremely sensitive/acne prone skin and this doesn’t break me out at all. I have been using it for about two years now and I will never stop using it. Super inexpensive and works wonders!” —Monica S. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.65 (available in two sizes, and unscented and fragranced). 

15. A hydrating, plumping lip glow oil reviewers compare to the cult-fave Dior Lip Oil … that is, if it were a FRACTION of the price 👀. 

Promising review: “This is by far my favorite lip gloss on Amazon. The lip gloss keeps your lips moisturized and plump throughout the day. Highly recommend if you haven’t tried already!” —Brianna Clark 

Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in four shades and in two-packs). 

16. E.l.f.’s Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm, which is an absolute *treasure* among reviewers with sensitive skin. This nourishing blend contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin and help protect your moisture barrier, gently cleansing your skin of potential irritants *and* helping prevent more from working their way in. (Psst — reviewers say this is an excellent comp to expensive versions like Farmacy!) 

Promising review: “E.l.f. has really stepped up their game lately! I was using Farmacy Makeup Meltaway, and I loved it, but it was very expensive. I decided to try the E.l.f brand because of the price, and it’s the exact same thing! For $11, you can’t go wrong with this product. I wear waterproof mascara, and this makes removing it super easy! My face feels super clean and hydrated after using this product. The product lasts for a good amount of time, too.” —Haley McCaulley

Get it from Amazon for $11

17. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, an Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.

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

Promising review: “Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn’t worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can’t beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that’s been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!” —BB

18. An oversize lightweight quilted vest that compares to an expensive mall brand, and has already become a reviewer “must-have” for transitional weather and chilly days. Snuggly season here! we! come!!!! 

Promising review: “I love this oversize puffer vest! It is exactly how described. It is oversized for winter comfort. It is puffy with just the right puff. It has become a daily go-to. I enjoy it very much! I will be looking for another color to repurchase again. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for exactly what they have described.” —Alyssa Anderson

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (clip the 10% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in women’s sizes S–XL and 10 styles). 

19. SkinSmart Facial Cleanser Spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray, designed to target bacteria that causes acne and blemishes *without* drying your skin. This is the perfect “spray and go” fix for anyone who gets busy in the fall — teens, travelers, athletes, and professionals who wear a face mask or gear swear by this for keeping their skin clear. 

Check out a TikTok of the SkinSmart Facial Spray in action. 

Promising review: “I have ordered this twice now. If my skin is breaking out I just spray this on after washing my face and let it air dry. It is nonirritating and nondrying. It has a light chlorine smell to me. I can use both morning and night with no irritation. After a few days of this my skin starts clearing up! I put some in a travel spray bottle and take it when I’m flying. My skin always feels dirty on planes, and I spray it on a few times on travel days to freshen my face and hopefully kill some bacteria. It sprays over makeup with no issues.” —SaraSmile11

Get it from Amazon for $17.46

20. A square-neck floral-textured tank top designed with just enough compression to make it fit like a comfortable glove, similar to the pricier version from a mall brand. This is about to earn a top spot on your “going out tops” rankings. 

Amazon

Promising review: “I absolutely love this top! It is stretchy, the color is exactly what it looked like online, and it’s super comfy. I love that I can push the shoulder straps down for an off-the-shoulder look to make it more elegant with a skirt or even wear it with shorts. It isn’t see-through at all! The fit is great because it stretches, so it has a range within the size. It’s not super thick, but definitely not thin or see-through.” —Kendra

Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in women’s sizes XS–XL and 11 colors). 

21. E.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray, which sprays on super fine, but has a POWERFUL lock on makeup. Reviewers compare the strong hold and dewy effect to brands like Urban Decay and Milk. Just remember to shake shake shake it to activate it before you spray! 

Promising review: “Definitely had the glowy appearance while feeling weightless! Since it was a girl’s night, I came home and went right to bed without removing my makeup. The blush, highlighter, some eye makeup, and brow filler stayed the whole time! Still have the dewy look! This stuff works SO well — will definitely be buying this instead of the Urban Decay Extra Glow, which is triple the price. You won’t be disappointed! Plus, it fits in my purse!” —Sadie

Get it from Amazon for $10

22. The Face Shop’s Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. 

Promising review: “I have combination skin and the Tatcha Rice Wash is the only thing I can use. I was gonna spend my last few dollars on the Tatcha but then I saw this. With the price I thought if it doesn’t work, it isn’t a huge deal. I’m never going back, this is like the exact same thing and you barely need any, the scent is the only difference besides it being a bit thicker BUT THAT’S GOOD because it’s BARELY thicker AND that means even less goes a much longer way. This is a holy grail item. If you haven’t tried it, I soooo highly recommend.” —Lingaling

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). 

23. An all-in-one nonstick frying pan you can use to for broiling, baking, sautéing, frying, *and* braising — just like the $$ Our Place version. Not only does this affordable alternative have a similar aesthetic, but it’s lighter in weight and fully dishwasher safe. 🙌  

Each pan comes with a wooden spatula and a steaming rack. 

Promising review: “I like that it works just like a more expensive name brand pan. It fries and stir fries well, it has an awesome steam basket and strainer and rack. It looks nice and is lightweight. Overall a great purchase. Just buy it and skip that one pan!”Linda S 

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in five colors and in a four-piece or six-piece set). 

24. An affordable cult-favorite luxury-scented candle with a scent reminiscent of Le Labo’s Santal 33, and a throw so satisfying that reviewers can’t stop gushing about it. If you’re in the market for a signature scent for your space, look no further than this jasmine, oud, and sandalwood blend. 

Lulu Candles is a US-based small business that specializes in scented candles and perfumes. 

Promising review: “This is such a great candle that fills the room quickly with a really nice strong smell that is soothing and relaxing. I was looking for a less expensive Le Labo Santal 33 scent candle, and this one is very, very close! It’s a bit stronger, but I love it! The shipment arrived fast, and I just love how fast it fills up the room without being lit for so long!” —Cristina Bertolotto

Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three sizes, in gift box options, in packs of two, and in a variety of scents).  

25. A ridiculously soft oversized hoodie reviewers compare to $$ brands like Skims, Aritzia, and Abercrombie. You know how on TikTok sometimes people say “this hoodie hoodies” like it’s a noun and a verb? Enter this cult-favorite, reviewer-beloved hoodie, which does, in fact, hoodie. 

Promising review: “I’m obsessed with this hoodie. I’ve been looking for a warm, soft hoodie with a big hood for a long time. This quality is excellent and feels more expensive. It is an oversized fit. I usually wear an XL top and sometimes L. The large fit perfectly! I want one in every color now.” —LindsayW

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and 39 colors). 

26. A set of wildly popular moisture-wicking double-brushed microfiber sheets with a softness so luxurious that you’ll be like, “Cotton whomst??” Reviewers especially love that the “cooling” effect of these is no joke, particularly for people in hot climates or people experiencing night sweats and hot flashes. 

LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets. 

Promising review: “LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding, and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture-wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at, and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!!” —Shannon Warfel

Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in sizes Twin—California King, with deep pockets, and in 37 styles). 

27. A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit that reviewers swear is a cheap alternative to Skims and makes for such a perfect summer staple that people are stocking UP on Amazon.

Shaperx is a small business that specializes in supportive, compressive bodysuits in a variety of styles.

Promising review: “I bought this on a whim, seeing it on TikTok, desperately looking for solutions, and was SHOCKED at how snatched it made me. My top fits perfectly now! I am sooo grateful I can wear this top to my event without it gaping between the buttons. Not only that, but so many clothes in my closet fit me again! I had a ton of silk blouses that were busting out between the buttons around the bust, and now they all look so smooth and fit perfectly.” —lydia velichkovski

Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in women’s sizes XXS–5XL and 11 styles, including shorts and thong style)

28. A wonderfully versatile long open front cardigan (or “coatigan,” if you will) that you’ll be so glad you invested in on those many days where you’re like, “Well, it’s not that hot, but it’s not THAT cold, and also I need something that matches this outfit without stealing from its cuteness??” Enter this excellent, affordable alternative to the J.Crew version 👀. 

Promising review: “I received this yesterday. I adore it. I have also ordered it in dark gray. This knit is heavy and very substantial. It looks sleek and European chic with a heft like a St. John coat. This will be perfect with black slacks or even jeans. I am overjoyed by this purchase.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in women’s sizes XS–XXL and 24 styles). 

29. A well-made, beautifully-designed cast-iron Dutch oven so you can live out your bread-making, stew-guzzling, chicken-roasting dreams for years and years to come. This works like a dream on stovetops *and* ovens up to 500 degrees, and is super easy to clean. 

Promising review: “Impressive. I researched a lot before choosing this Dutch oven. I had a Le Creuset pot for years. This OverMont product is stylish and big enough to hold a whole chicken or probably roast. On first cooking, we did jerk beef ribs and were pleased with the result. Heat distribution is excellent. Easy to clean with hot, soapy water. So far, so good.” —NJM

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (clip the $20 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in three sizes and eight colors). 

30. A pair of zippered lace-up combat boots that are giving some real Doc Martens energy, and will add an instant edge or new dimension to an outfit so you’ll never accidentally walk out looking ~boring~ ever again. 

Promising review: “Bought these to replace some knockoff Doc Martens I had before, because they are versatile with many outfits — especially this past fall and winter. So far these have been comfortable, great during winter at work and at home, and while a little stiff at first they do get some flexibility over time. They are not a soft, pliable fake leather. It’s pretty straight. So if that’s what you’re looking for these are great!” —Valerie Mills

Get it from Amazon for $38.66 (available in women’s sizes 5.5–10 and four styles). 

31. A sophisticated, minimalist-style sunrise alarm clock to gently ease you into waking every morning by gradually lightening the room so you’re not JOLTED awake in a dark room if you’ve got the curtains drawn or wake up at odd hours. This model compares to the Hatch Sleep version for $170, both in aesthetics and because it also offers fully customizable wake-up experience, complete with timing, brightness modes, and soothing sounds. 

Promising review: “I wanted this clock for the sunrise lighting affect and didn’t want to pay for the really expensive clocks. I think it’s aesthetically pleasing and has tons of options. It really does help you wake up softer with the sunrise light. It’s easy to use and a good value for your money!” —Brianna Hughes

Get it from Amazon for $48.89+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: “My backpack is absolutely essential for getting through my work day. It fits everything I need, from my laptop and charger to notebooks, pens, and even a snack or two. The compartments keep everything organized, so I’m never scrambling to find what I need. It’s comfortable to wear, even when fully loaded, making my commute a breeze. Honestly, I can’t imagine my workday without it!” —kody craig

This lets you select seven different toastiness levels for your bread, and specify if you’re putting other carbs in there, like bagels, English muffins, waffles, and even gluten-free bread. 

Promising review: “I love this toaster! It has all the options I need: lifter, countdown timer, visual icon of the toast colors, and all the toast varieties anyone could want, from white to grain to bagel to waffle to English muffin to gluten-free. It not only has reheat and defrost options, you can even add more toasting time, too. Truly, it has all the bells and whistles anyone could want and is easy to use.” —Tanya Feddern-Bekcan

36. And a sophisticated laptop tote bag so you can easily (and chicly!) carry not just your tech, but the whole arsenal of I’m A Very Busy Business Person things you need to get through the day. Reviewers compare this to the $$ Beis version, and especially love the unexpected depth and pockets included. 

Promising review: “It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and I find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you see carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome. The bag does sag a bit after use. But has held up to wear and tear. I would recommend.” —Su

Promising review: “Love love love this stuff. This is such a stellar product that is so versatile. Can be worn alone 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

Get it from Amazon for $11.49+ (available in six shades).

41. A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon’s Align … but WAY cheaper. If you’re looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these.

Promising review: “Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for every day and even for workouts. Highly recommended!” —Criselle Johnson

Get them from Amazon for $26 (clip the $3 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in women’s sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). 

42. A Petcube, which is basically a Furbo without all the extra bells and whistles — this super-reliable pet-monitoring camera has a wide angle and night vision so you can check on your pet 24/7 and even talk to them, giving you a whole new peace of mind whenever you leave the house.

Petcube is a California-based small business established in 2012 that specializes in interactive HD pet camera products.

It’s also app-enabled and can send you instant notifications, sync with Amazon Alexa, and even access a vet on demand if you notice any weird behaviors.

Promising review: “Unbeatable for the money. I needed a way to keep an eye on a new 4-month-old puppy who kept digging holes in my yard. I didn’t expect a lot for $39, but I was pleasantly surprised. The video is quick to get started and very clear, zoom is quick, and the night vision actually works. I haven’t used any of the other features yet, but these alone make this a great value! Far exceeding what I expected.” —Rick Grisham

Get it from Amazon for $27.19 (available in multi-packs and with a subscription). 

43. A chic structured toiletry organizer with a “window” so you can look inside and easily access whatever you need on the go. Reviewers especially love how the structure of it stops items like beauty products or medications from getting crushed inside (and that it’s a heck of a lot cheaper than the $100 Truffle Clarity version). 

Reviewers also use this for “emergency kits” for their car! 

Promising review: “Best Amazon purchase in awhile. The bag is TSA-compliant which was the most important thing for me, but it is also well made, very sturdy, and the shape of it makes it easy to organize my liquids by laying them down rather than forcing them all to stand up. Even the packaging was beautiful. 10/10 would recommend.” —RZ 

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five sizes and four colors). 

44. A little decorative ghost pillow giving real “Gus The Ghost” energy, without Pottery Barn’s $80 price tag ~spooking~ your bank account. 

Promising review: “I love the quality of this seasonal pillow I definitely think I’ll be able to use year over year around Halloween. To me it seems identical to Pottery Barn’s version, but so much less money. And it arrived earlier than it was supposed to! High recommend.” —Vanessa Pellegrino 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99
