Promising review: "I absolutely love this body butter! I have all their different scents but this one is one of my favorites by far. It shimmers and because of the magnesium in it, it takes away pain! After a long day of running errands and cleaning, I rubbed this on my arms and feet/ankles and pain immediately gone and got a good nights’ rest and woke up pain-free. HIGHLY recommend this one!" —Ash

Promising review: "I bought these yesterday and put some on my pimples. When I woke up after putting it on at night, it took out all the guck from my pimple and it was FLAT and not red. The other one was more of an ingrown pimple but if you use it for two days it should be gone. I really recommend especially if you have a tendency to scratch and pop your pimples!" —Target Reviewer

Price: $8.99 for a 24-pack (also available in a 72-pack)

Promising review: "Perfect, barely-there coverage for minimal makeup days! Or can be worn under foundation for more glow. I’m obsessed!!" —Schlies

Price: $14 (available in eight shades)

Promising review: "I decided to buy this since I was getting tired of my makeup looking awful by the end of the day. Usually after 8 hours, my mascara is smudged below my eyes, my concealer is creased, and there are creases where my laugh lines are. After using this, my makeup looked nearly as good as when I first applied it after 8 hours, no smudges or creases. Wish it came in a larger bottle but other than that, definitely worth the purchase." —Sara

Price: $9.49
