45 Weird, Cheap Beauty Products On Amazon You’ll Wish You Got Sooner

Given the emphasis on extending your skin care routine beyond just your face, it’s not entirely surprising that brands are coming up with products specifically formulated for other areas of the body. What’s a little unexpected is this sheet mask that’s meant for your butt. Featuring double the masks shaped to fit your derrière (one for each cheek), the colorful sheets are infused with a brightening and hydrating serum that includes citrus ingredients like lemon peel extract and grapefruit seed extract, as well moisturizers like glycerin and cucumber extract. Like a traditional sheet mask, you’ll want to leave these on for 10 to 15 minutes and rub the excess serum into your skin.

If you’re not a fan of the unmistakable taste that whitening strips tend to have (it’s because of the hydrogen peroxide that whitens in the first place, FYI), these strips have solved the problem. Infused with a strawberry flavor, the strips still work as well as their competitors, promising whiter teeth after one 30-minute treatment without any tooth sensitivity. And if strawberry isn’t your thing, the whitening strips are available on Amazon in five other flavors, including coconut and mint.

If you’re experiencing hair dryness or damage, this conditioning mask was formulated to restore moisture and strengthen hair. Taking inspiration from mayonnaise with its ultra-thick texture and egg protein-infused formula, the intensive treatment was designed to be combed through the hair and left to sit under a plastic cap for 15 to 45 minutes (preferably creating a bit of heat in the process with the help of a hair dryer or warm towel) before thoroughly rinsing it out. Suitable for all hair textures, the cruelty-free mask also contains moisturizing ingredients like safflower seed oil, olive fruit oil, and panthenol.

If you’ve ever carried oil blotting sheets in your bag, you know all too well how quickly the cardboard packets they’re usually housed in fall apart. These mint-green oil blotting sheets come with a matching case that won’t crumple and can be reused. Not only do the sheets allow you to soak up excess oil throughout the day without disturbing your makeup, but they’re also biodegradable and made with green tea to give them soothing benefits and a refreshing scent.

For the sunscreen-obsessed looking for additional ways to block harmful UV rays from hitting your face, consider adding a sun visor into your sun protection plan. Especially great for when you’ll be spending the day by the pool or when you’re out for a jog, the wide visor brim shields your face, neck, and ears from sun exposure and even provides an additional UPF 50. For the uninitiated, UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor, and it’s used to describe fabrics that shield you from UVA and UVB rays (the Skin Cancer Foundation explains that UPF 50 is able to block 98% of the sun’s rays). This sun visor features a Velcro strap that allows you to adjust it to perfectly fit your head, and you can fold it up or lie it down flat in your bag to make it easier for traveling.

A scented candle is a must-have for an at-home spa day, and this soy wax option can be used as a nourishing body oil or even as a massage oil once the wax melts down. You’ll want to let the candle burn for at least 30 minutes (and allow the melted wax to cool if needed), then you can use the spout to pour out as much of the oil as you’d like. No matter which scent you choose, each vegan and cruelty-free candle is made with a blend of shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E that’s fast-absorbing and leaves skin feeling immediately smoother.

If you consider yourself a cupping pro, this four-piece set was designed to make the ancient wellness ritual more accessible. Made from high-grade silicone that makes the cups easier to squeeze to create the compression needed for the treatment, cupping therapy is believed to help with everything from relaxing sore muscles to improving anxiety.

This gel-like lip product can be used as a lip-enhancing liner, all-over lip stain, or budge-proof base for your lipstick of choice. It’s this versatility that helped make the lip stain go viral on TikTok, with users impressed by its easy-to-use application method and temporary tattoo-like results. Once you’ve gently exfoliated your lips, you can use the applicator’s tapered tip to create a film of precise liner around the outside of your lips or fill them in entirely for an all-over wash of color. After waiting five to 20 minutes (depending on how pigmented you want your color), you can then take the mini tweezers included in the kit to peel the film away for your smudge-proof and waterproof color.

A makeup sponge is a great way to get a flawless finish with your foundation, but they can be tricky to travel with. If you’re sick of having to clean off residual makeup that transfers onto other products (or maybe you’re just grossed out by tossing the sponge into your makeup bag to sit among all your other products), this sponge holder has got you covered. The compact case uses an egg shape to perfectly house your makeup sponge, and it includes vents on both sides to prevent mold by allowing for air circulation. Plus, because it’s made from silicone, the storage case is easy to clean in between uses.

Keeping your hair out of your face while you’re washing away makeup or indulging in an at-home mask just got more fun thanks to this snail headband. Available in multiple colors to match your towel set, the super-soft headband is made from a microfiber material that’s gentle on the skin and absorbs water that would otherwise mess with your hair. The headband also has an elastic insert that allows it to fit both kids and adults without causing discomfort or sliding around.

For a more thorough cleanse that’s still gentle on your skin, there’s this microfiber cloth duo. Eliminating the need for disposable cotton rounds, these cleansing cloths can be used with makeup remover, micellar water, or a cleanser and warm water combo to remove every last trace of sunscreen and makeup. Each cloth contains a tiny pocket that you can place your fingers into, and they’re also infused with citrus to promote brighter skin.

Whether looking for some added relaxation in your evening skin care routine or you’re in need of a quick fix for tired under eyes before you start your day, these metallic under-eye masks can help you out in minutes. Formulated to treat puffiness while infusing moisture back into dry skin, the under-eye patches contain a blend of green tea leaf extract, licorice root extract, and hydrolyzed collagen. You’ll also find centella asiatica among the ingredients list, which is a sensitive skin-friendly plant extract that works to soothe and stimulate collagen production for smoother skin. Pro tip: pair these eye masks with the ice globes mentioned above to double down on the de-puffing benefits.

If you’re someone who needs to apply several coats of mascara to get your desired volume and length, this little lash comb will help ensure you’re not left with any clumps. Using a curved shape that mimics your eyelash curler (and your actual eye), the comb contains teeny-tiny metal prongs that remove excess mascara and separate your lashes as you gently move it from root to tip. It’s made from stainless steel so that it’s easy to clean and disinfect, and it comes with a clear cover to protect the comb when you’re traveling.

These K-beauty sheet masks use snail slime as the hero ingredient to provide numerous benefits. Snail mucin, as the slimy substance is more formally known, naturally contains a mix of ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and enzymes that are prized in skin care when it comes to moisturizing, soothing, and stimulating collagen production. The cotton sheet mask is also infused with ingredients like green tea leaf extract, aloe vera, cucumber fruit extract, and allantoin to make each 15-to-20-minute treatment even more hydrating and soothing.

Dual-sided makeup brushes can’t compete with this four-in-one tool. The beauty award-winning design includes a blending sponge on one side and a larger tapered brush that can be used to apply blush and bronzer at the opposite end. But both of these brushes twist off to reveal two smaller brushes inside: one for eyeshadow and one that can be used for eyeliner and filling in your brows.

Hand-washing your brushes doesn’t always manage to fully remove makeup (especially if we’re talking about liquid foundation). And it can also dry your hands out if you’re washing multiple brushes at once. That’s where this silicone bowl comes in. The multi-purpose design includes a textured interior that helps to more thoroughly clean makeup brushes and sponges when paired alongside your cleanser of choice and warm water. Once you’re done washing all of your brushes, you can pop them into the slots at the opposite end and hang the whole thing up so that your brushes are upside down (this allows them to properly dry while preserving the shape of the bristles). You can even flip the bowl over and use the rack as storage for your brushes in between cleanings.

You don’t need your brows to be an exact match, but if you find that filling them in freehand leads to results that are too asymmetrical or inconsistent, consider this stencil kit. You can choose from 10 different stencil shapes (20 total, as there’s one for each brow), and the kit also includes a waterproof pomade and two brush tools. For the easiest way to shape and fill in your brows, select your stencil, dip your sponge applicator into the pomade (wiping off any excess product), and gently stamp the tinted color across your brows. Once you’ve got the color in place, you can go back in with the dual-sided detailing and spoolie brush if you need to clean up any edges or comb your brow hairs into place.

For lashes so long they’ll practically skim your brows, this drugstore mascara pairs a conditioning primer with a tubing mascara. To achieve lashes that are up to 80% longer, you’ll want to start by swiping a coat of the white-tinted base through your lashes, which is infused with ceramides and panthenol to moisturize and protect your lashes. Then, you’re ready to apply the mascara, which is a tubing formula that works by creating tube-like structures around each lash. Even though this type of mascara is completely smudge-proof (i.e., you won’t end up with raccoon eyes midday), it’s actually easier to remove than traditional mascara formulas, as you only need warm water to be able to wipe the tubes off.

Healing dry, cracked feet is as easy as slipping on these fuzzy socks from Earth Therapeutics. Infused with aloe vera and vitamin E to help moisturize as they keep your feet warm, you can wear these overnight for smoother feet in the morning or around the house during the day if socks at bedtime is not your thing. You can wear these socks about 20 times before the moisturizing ingredients lose their effect, but you get two pairs of socks with each purchase.

You can completely eliminate the risk of polish spills during your next at-home manicure with this clever little holder. Once your nail polish is placed in the holder, the hinge design lets you tilt your polish to whatever angle is easiest for you, without ever having to worry about spills or drips. It also uses a patented Smartgrip technology along the bottom that allows the bottle holder to securely adhere to a variety of surfaces — from your end table to your mirror. And because it’s made from silicone, the bottle holder is flexible enough to adjust to fit any nail polish.

Whether you’re looking to create a smooth surface for your lipstick or trying to get rid of chapped lips, a scrub and balm combo is what you’ll need. Rather than purchase products separately, this lip care set comes with everything you’ll need, from your exfoliator and moisturizer to a tiny spatula that lets you apply both peach-scented formulas more hygienically. To gently buff away rough skin, the scrub uses sugar crystals, while the nourishing mask contains a blend of jojoba seed oil, fruit extracts, and collagen to leave lips moisturized and naturally plumped up.

If you feel like you’ve tried everything for dry feet and cracked heels with no success, this $10 foot cream might just end your search. The fragrance-free and hypoallergenic formula contains a mix of glycerin, allantoin, and mineral oil to moisturize feet, but it also creates a protective barrier that locks in that moisture and prevents any potential irritants from messing with your skin’s barrier. While you won’t be left with a heavy or greasy layer on your feet, the brand still recommends applying this at night for the best results.

This colorful compact may look like a pack of oil-blotting papers, but it actually holds soap sheets for cleaning your hands on the go. The mess-free packaging makes these ideal for traveling or camping, as all you need to do is wet the sheet to form a cleansing lather, but they’re also a clever way to cut back on your plastic usage. You can choose from a variety of multi-packs and scents like lavender and orange, but each individual compact holds 100 sheets.

It turns out, white truffles aren’t just for pasta. The ingredient can now be found in skin care, too, as it’s rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that can help support the skin barrier and keep it protected from damaging free radicals. This unique serum, which can be misted directly onto your skin, combines white truffles from Italy with ingredients like vitamin E, niacinamide, and avocado oil for more moisturizing and brightening benefits. And Amazon users confirm the serum spray is a must-have for an instant glow, having awarded it more than 2,000 five-star ratings.

Even those with sensitive skin can use this powerful cleanser, which was developed alongside dermatologists to ensure that it’s hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic (the latter being especially important for those with acne-prone skin, as it won’t clog pores). Part micellar water, part cleansing milk, the hybrid formula is able to thoroughly remove waterproof makeup thanks to the micelles, which lift away makeup and sunscreen, as well as the dirt and oil that accumulate during the day. And then there’s the combination of moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and coconut milk, which give the cleanser a creamy consistency and leave skin feeling soft.

These paper-thin sponges expand once exposed to water to give you a more thorough cleanse and a gentle exfoliation when paired with your go-to cleanser. Made from a soft cellulose fiber, the sponges are often used by estheticians because they’re disposable and come in a set of 50, but they can also be reused if you’re just using them on yourself.

For exfoliating the rest of your body, there’s this loofah-inspired pouch. Complete with a pocket that can hold a variety of round and square-shaped soaps, the mitt lets you work up a rich lather as you cleanse and exfoliate. While its nylon material makes it loofah-like in its ability to exfoliate, because it’s designed with a thinner pocket shape, it dries much faster, making it more hygienic.

Though they look like after dinner mints, the tablets housed within these tiny pink packets are actually compressed towelettes. Individually packaged for ease of use while you’re traveling or on the go, the tablets expand into full-size towelettes when you moisten them with water. The facial towels are made from cotton, so they’re gentle when used to remove makeup or cleanse your face, but they’re also durable enough to be used to clean surfaces around your house.

The name of this one is stranger than the product itself, which is really just a cuticle oil in a sunny yellow shade (perhaps where the ‘solar’ part comes in). A blend of jojoba, sweet almond, and rice bran oils are behind the color, and more importantly, they’re responsible for moisturizing the cuticle and nail area. You can paint the oil directly onto your nails, as you would a nail polish, for cuticles and nails that immediately look more hydrated. Because cuticles are essential for blocking out bacteria, using the oil regularly will help to promote healthier, longer nails over time.

If you struggle with flyaway hairs, this retractable wax stick works to smooth back hair with a single swipe. Formulated with castor oil to help condition hair as it keeps it in place, Amazon reviewers note that the wax stick works for creating slicked-back hairstyles and braids, adding texture on short hair, and it can even be used on wigs.

This polar bear-decorated under-eye stick may look cute, but it means business. The twist-up tube holds a multi-tasking balm that soothes, moisturizes, brightens, and de-puffs, all while delivering a refreshing cooling effect to the under-eye area. You’ll find your typical skin care favorites among the ingredients list, like aloe vera, niacinamide, seaweed extract, and hyaluronic acid, while glacier water from Iceland cools the skin (you can really amp up that cooling effect by storing this in the refrigerator, which will further help with de-puffing, too).

No matter your hair type, adding this scalp and hair oil into your routine is an easy way to smooth split ends, nourish a dry scalp, and potentially even help with hair growth. Rosemary oil is the hero ingredient, which has been praised on TikTok, and more importantly, has been shown in scientific studies to aid in hair growth. But that’s not the only beneficial ingredient in the oil, as it also contains a blend of moisturizing and soothing oils like castor, jojoba, sweet almond, grape, and rice bran. You can massage the oil onto the scalp and through the lengths of your hair, using it as a leave-in treatment or washing it out after about 10 minutes, depending on your personal preference — just remember that less is more, as a few drops are all you need.

Whether you can feel a massive zit forming or it’s already come to the surface, these mini stickers can help to reduce inflammation and absorb fluid from the pimple overnight. The adhesive patches use medical-grade hydrocolloid that serves as a protective barrier to keep bacteria out and creates a moist environment to speed up healing time. A favorite on Amazon with more than 100,000 five-star ratings, the clear patches are virtually undetectable once you stick one on, so you can even wear them during the day.

If you’re wanting to put snail mucin to the test, this gentle moisturizer boasts a 97.5% concentration of the snail-derived ingredient in a silky-smooth formula that doesn’t feel slimy at all. While the snail mucin helps to hydrate, soothe, and even stimulate collagen production, the moisturizer gets a further boost from ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, and green tea leaf extract. It’s also worth noting that the brand has shared that the snail mucin used in its moisturizer (and all of its products) is collected from the snails in a cruelty-free manner.

If you’re looking for ways to support hair growth beyond a weekly oil, try using a shampoo that’s formulated with rosemary, too. This shampoo combines rosemary extract with biotin, caffeine, and hydrolyzed collagen to give hair volume and potentially support hair growth. There’s also tea tree leaf extract in the shampoo, which is a botanical ingredient that has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties that may help to treat dandruff and an itchy scalp.

This one gets a little gross, as it quite literally peels away the dead skin on your feet, but more than 50,000 five-star ratings on Amazon attest that the foot peel mask works. Before you’re left with super-smooth feet, this treatment starts as a foot mask in the form of a pair of booties. You’ll need to wear the disposable booties for 60 minutes before you remove them to give the acids a chance to work, but the skin shedding won’t start until a few days later. Over the course of two weeks, dry skin and stubborn calluses will peel right off to reveal smooth feet. (Pro tip: you’re going to want to wear socks and closed-toe shoes during the two weeks of peeling.)

When regular hand lotion isn’t cutting it, these 10-minute masks are here to help. The drugstore gloves contain a concentrated formula of shea butter and three oat ingredients (oat kernel flour, oat kernel oil, and oat kernel extract) to moisturize and also help relieve any irritation or itchiness that your dry skin might be causing. Those with sensitive skin will be happy to know that there’s no fragrance added to the masks, and you can just massage the remaining product right into your hands afterward and go about your day without any greasy residue.

A nail polish formula that’s actually good for your nails may sound too good to be true, but that’s exactly what Londontown set out to create with its nail concealer polish. Part color, part care, the innovative formula instantly perfects nails with optical brighteners and a tint of color, while ingredients like porcelain flower extract, lime tree extract, and the brand’s own nourishing complex (containing ingredients like evening primrose oil and vitamin E) brighten and moisturize over time. This applies just like a regular nail polish except you don’t even need a base coat, and it’s also available in several other sheer shades.

This scented cuticle oil instantly elevates an at-home spa day or even your nightly bedtime routine with a milk and honey fragrance that serves a practical purpose, too. Lactic acid, which is naturally found in the milk extract that’s included in the oil, helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, while honey extract moisturizes. Because it’s a cuticle oil, the formula also wouldn’t be complete without a fatty acid- and antioxidant-rich oil, and Cuccio contains a blend of safflower, sunflower seed, and cottonseed oils. There are multiple scents to choose from that incorporate different fruit extracts, including mango and bergamot and a pomegranate and fig combo, as well as an unscented option if fragrance isn’t your thing.

If you’ve ever turned to a clay mask to clear out clogged pores, this K-beauty find amps things up with a foaming formula. In here, kaolin and bentonite clays work with charcoal powder to draw out pore-clogging debris, but the mask is also infused with carbonated water to create a bubbling foam during the five to 10-minute treatment (Amazon reviewers confirm that despite the foam, it doesn’t drip off your face, in case you were wondering). And if you’re worried that the clay mask will dry out your face or leave it feeling tight, fear not, it also contains a mix of moisturizing and soothing ingredients like green tea leaf extract, collagen, and allantoin.

Like the SeoulCeuticals moisturizer mentioned earlier, this serum uses a 97.5% concentration of snail mucin to bring you skin-plumping benefits without irritation. You can use this in conjunction with the moisturizer in the evening or with your go-to night cream to assist with collagen production and brightening the overall skin tone. In addition to the snail mucin, the serum also includes another Korean beauty favorite, centella asiatica extract. The herbal extract is also a multi-tasking ingredient that is especially helpful with soothing inflammatiom caused by skin sensitivities, rosacea, and acne.

Most blow dryer brush tools will set you back $100 or more, but this styling tool from Revlon is a fraction of the cost. Yet judging by the more than 375,000 five-star ratings from Amazon reviewers (representing a variety of hair lengths and textures), the lower price tag doesn’t make it any less effective. Designed to create salon-quality blowouts that don’t fall flat, the oval-shaped brush works to dry damp hair as it smooths through tangles and adds volume at the roots. You can choose from two heat settings as you style your hair (use low for finer hair textures and high for thicker hair), as well as a cool option to set your style and enhance shine. The brush even uses a ceramic coating that helps to minimize damage by allowing for more even heat distribution (though you should still prep hair with a heat protectant, of course).

This shaving cream bar checks a number of boxes. Not only does it help reduce plastic waste, but the solid formula also makes it more travel-friendly than your typical foaming shaving creams. And then there’s the cruelty-free formula, which hydrates skin using shea butter and vitamin E (and without any added fragrance).

Whether your eyes feel dry after a long day of staring at a computer screen, or you’re experiencing irritation in the form of a stye, this heated compress provides relief. Shaped like a sleeping mask with an adjustable strap to contour to your eyes and stay in place, the mask contains a hydrobead compress that quickly heats up in the microwave in just 25 seconds. The outside pouch of the mask is cushioned in a soft fabric that makes it more comfortable to wear, but is also removable so that it can be washed.

If you’ve ever struggled to reach your back while sudsing up with your favorite body wash or trying to target back acne with a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid cleanser, this back brush makes things a whole lot easier. Featuring a longer, ergonomic handle that allows you to reach every part of your back, the scrubber has a silicone-bristle brush that’s more hygienic than a loofah.
