Claw clips 👏 Flowy dresses 👏 Color-changing lip balm 👏

Promising review: "I got this to replace my old matte balm that I got LITERALLY years ago (I know, I know, should have replaced sooner) and I'm already in love with it. It's light to wear, and my lips actually breathe. It doesn't get clumpy during long wear either and actually lasted through dinner last night. Highly recommend this one!" —C. Bentley

Get it from Amazon for $9.70 (available in 29 colors).

BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord took a gamble on this dress. She was surprised at how well it fit and the fact it wasn't see-through — though she did mention she wore a neutral-colored bra with it just in case.

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and four colors).

Lela Silk is a small business based in Hanoi, Vietnam, that sells pretty handmade clothing, including blouses, dresses, and robes.

Promising review: "Absolutely gorgeous! Fits so well, and there are different buttons sewn into the dress to help adjust the size. I'm in love with this dress. I'd wear it every day if I could." —Laura B

Get it from Lela Silk on Etsy for $109+ (available in set sizes or custom sizing).

Another perk? You won't have to worry about running out of refill cartridges, because you can get 'em sent to you based on your shaving schedule. (Learn more about a Billie subscription here).

BuzzFeed editor Emma McAnaw adores Billie razors and said: "I have VERY sensitive skin. As in, I so much as LOOK at a dull blade and suddenly I'm on a one-way trip to little red bumps. Until Billie, I had kind of just accepted that my bikini line was never going to be ~perfectly smooth~ no matter what. And yet! When I started shaving with these razors, I immediately noticed how comfortable the whole experience was. I'll be honest and say I rarely use shaving cream (very responsible for someone with sensitive skin!) and it doesn't even MATTER. The blades never nick me and I've actually seen fewer and fewer bumps, even in my ~most sensitive~ areas. I credit its charcoal shave soap that encases the five (!!!) blades so if you 'forget' cream, you'll still get super-smooth results. I'm pretty confident in saying if a total klutz like me has yet to do damage with these bbs, then everyone can benefit from these." Check out her full review, along with those of seven (!!!) other BuzzFeed editors here.

Get it from Billie for $10 (available in six razor colors).

Wildship Studio is a small business based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, that sells pretty enamel pins.

Promising review: "This is perfect! I got one for myself and my girlfriend. They are cute, and the backs for them are great! I’ve never had an issue with mine coming off. They are simply charming! I love them 🥺." —Sam c.

Get it from Wildship Studio on Amazon Handmade for $16.50.

Promising review: "It was exactly the way I hoped it would be! The fit and color are amazing. I washed it gently by hand in the sink and it dried perfectly, still looks the same. A very pretty and stylish one-piece bathing suit." —D. Bermingham

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 23 colors).

It's water-resistant and has an adjustable long strap.

Promising review: "I was looking for an overnight bag that I can use as a hospital bag. I delivered my newborn on Saturday, and this bag fits everything I needed. It has several pockets perfect for small items like toothbrush kit, phone chargers, snack bars, etc. Not only is it big, but it's durable. I also love the blush color. Can be used as an overnight bag, gym bag, hospital bag, and all the kinds of bags you can think of when you’re in need of several pockets and cuteness in one." —MrsDuxSF

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 45 colors).

Promising review: "I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS STUFF. GREAT glitter payout with little to no fallout if you do it correctly (apply it after the rest of your eyeshadow), and you don't have to worry about the mess of glitter glue and messy loose glitter. I have accidentally slept in this overnight, twice, and was able to rock the glitter eyeshadow to work the next day with no touch-ups. And I didn't even use an eyeshadow primer either time, although I did use setting spray. Give this a go if you are looking for sparkly eyeshadow." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in ten shades).

Promising review: "I absolutely recommend buying these if you have really thick hair like me. I haven't been able to find clips that don't break in my hair or that hold up all my hair. These clips are really tight, and I wear them at work with no problems, and they come in cute colors!" —Bethany

Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two different sets).

Promising review: "They actually were bigger than I anticipated, which was actually pretty awesome. I hung them in the window of my office, and it's beautiful when they catch light. Definitely worth the money when it puts a smile on your face." —Emmy Ann

Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.97.

Promising review: "Love this skirt! It's a staple in my wardrobe. I bought in the green first and always get so many compliments on it. Great skirt for work that can transition into a night outfit too." —kellee9903

Get it from Free People for $50 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and eight colors).

Caitlyn Minimalist is an Asian woman–owned shop based in Los Angeles that designs custom jewelry pieces. You can personalize necklaces, rings, and earrings to gift to yourself or someone else.

Get it from Caitlyn Minimalist on Etsy for $14.35 (originally $20.50; available in sizes 3.5–11.5 and in three metals and 12 stones).

BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga has one of these and raves: "I've been using my S'well bottle for years now (the same one!), and it's held up perfectly. It keeps my water cold and is my go-to for when I'm headed out to the beach, a workout, or just for the day. They come in so many fun styles, but this speckled one caught my eye for its simple but stylish look."

Get it from S'well for $35 (available in 46 colors).

Promising review: "I LOVE this dress!! The material is so lightweight that it's perfect for summer and will also look cute and trendy in fall with a jean jacket! Plus, I LOVE that there are pockets. The dress is made really well; I was pleased to see it also had a lining, so it's not at all transparent. I saw another review that said it ran a little small, and as someone between two sizes, I sized up, and I’m glad I did. I like that it is more flowy and comfortable-fitting! I will be wearing this dress all summer and then some!" —Theresa St Peter

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in women's sizes S–XXL and seven colors).

Promising review: "I love how this pen feels to hold, and it writes beautifully! I am very picky about how the ink looks from the pens I use, and I don't remember having one that writes so smoothly and beautifully! I will buy these whenever I need more. I actually just purchased another package of all black!" —Marcia

Get a set of 18 from Amazon for $7.59.

BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga tried this lip balm and said: "My sister and I have this fun lil' lip balm, and we love it! The flower inside is as pretty as the shade of pink it creates. I like minimal makeup, so this product has been a slam dunk for me. My lips are *always* chapped (also I tend to chew on them, so that's on me) and this has been a solid solution to keeping them hydrated and looking cute."

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "This cup is perfect! The aesthetic is exactly as advertised, and the tumbler looks and feels very high quality. It's easy to clean, and the lid suctions on nicely, so more spills are prevented. I use this every day for my iced coffee, and it keeps it nice and cool throughout the morning. Especially for the price you pay, this cup is a great deal!" —Maddie Bangz

Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in 22 colors and in two-packs).

Promising review: "I got one for myself and one for my daughter and we share the third. Love them so much. They are great quality and so pretty.

Promising review: "This set of melamine dinnerware is truly stunning! It arrived well packed with no damage. The pieces are beautifully made and larger than I expected.

Promising review: "I love the colors that come in this set and it's been days since I applied this polish and it's like the first day. Shinny and no chipping so far. I also loved the consistency of the polish, although is thick as gel usually is, I found these easier to apply and smoother than other brands. I will definitely order more sets in the near future!" —Maria Ferrer

Promising review: "I love this keyboard! It's only been a couple of weeks, but it makes me excited to write again. I ordered blue, it's lovely and easy to use, haven't had any problems with the keys being round like I thought I would. The mouse is fine, the connection hasn't had any problems yet. I feel like the price is reasonable, it's not super fancy with lighting, but it has a nice aesthetic and fluffy sounding clicky clackies." —Eric

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 11 colors).

Promising review: "They are much larger than you expect, which is so rare on Amazon. They are the first mirrored item I’ve had delivered with the mirror intact. The gold has a slight worn look to it, which looks nice, and I don't mind because it's not actively flaking. They already have little pads on the bottom to protect your furniture. Plus, gold is super in right now. ;) I already know everyone is going to compliment them." —Sean August Horvath

Get it from Amazon for $57.99 (available in three styles).

Promising review: "I've now ordered five pairs of these in different designs and may order more. I've loved every pair. They are so soft, as comfortable as leggings, but look dressier. The length and the flare of these is perfect for me. Currently my favorite pants in my closet." —A.S.
