We’re also loving the side pockets and adjustable drawstring to create the perfect fit.

If you’re camping this summer or just hoping to spend your afternoons lounging on a floatie in the pool, this tool is sure to come in handy. The portable, rechargeable air pump is able to inflate four to five swim rings, six to eight single camping air mattresses or one to two thick air cushions from one charge, according to the brand.

Just pair it with your favorite sunnies and heeled sandals — then let this fancy fashion find do all of the talking.

Weird beauty ingredients seem to pop up on every product label nowadays, but TikTokers say that this snail mucin-containing formula actually works.

If you’re still using glue to apply your favorite falsies, you need to try these Luxillia Eyelashes. Instead of glue, this kit comes with a powerful magnetic eyeliner that each lash sticks to in seconds — so you can get a sultry look without the mess. Each pair is waterproof, sweatproof and as far as long-lasting goes, the brand says their formula is “the strongest magnetic liner in the market.”

What if your pillowcase could actually help your skin? This Anti-Acne Silk Pillowcase recently went viral on TikTok for its potential bacteria-fighting abilities. According to the brand, the silk pillowcase is treated with silver that kills 99.7% of acne-causing bacteria. But that’s not all, experts say that sleeping on a silk pillowcase can benefit your hair, too.

If there’s one think TikTok is great at, it’s piquing our curiosity. So when we saw this K18 hair mask garner more than 11 billion views on the platform for its ability to make tresses softer and shinier, we knew it was something to keep our eyes on. And the experts agree — the formula’s key ingredient, K18Peptide, is great for strengthening hair and hydrating dry locks — a necessity for anyone who plans on spending a lot of time in the pool and sun this summer.

If you have yet to experiment with the many benefits of using a humidifier, this popular mini version is a great place to start. According to the brand, the gadget can be used to hydrate your skin and hair, clear your sinuses and more. And unlike other bulky options, this cute humidifier won’t look like an eyesore when it’s sitting on your bedside table. It tends to sell out quickly, so you’re going to want to grab it while you still can.

These slip-ons are made for hands-free wear — yes, you read that right — thanks to the brand’s patented shoe technology and springback heel. As an added bonus, the sneakers also feature contoured footbeds and a durable foam and rubber outsole for optimum support, the brand shares. So you not only get style, but these also score high on the convenience scale.
