From home finds to beauty must-haves, here are the affordable Amazon favorites I’ve been loving lately — all tested, used, and 100% worth the hype.

I’m usually a bit skeptical of those viral Amazon product lists, but lately, I’ve found some seriously good ones that I’ve been reaching for again and again. From cozy winter essentials to home decor pieces that look way more expensive than they are, these are my recent Amazon purchases that totally lived up to the reviews.
10 Recent Amazon Purchases I Made and Do Not Regret
Saltair Body Butter

We live in Colorado, and it is so dry here—especially in the winter. Even for someone with oilier skin, having a thick moisturizer on hand is essential. I ordered this Saltair Body Butter in the Santal Bloom scent (which I adore, by the way). It’s rich, keeps my skin hydrated all day, and is super affordable. I’m already planning to grab a few more as stocking stuffers or small gifts for friends and family.
La Jolie Muse Candle

A few years ago my sister gifted me a candle from this brand, and I’ve been hooked ever since. They totally give off Anthropologie vibes with their beautiful glass jars, cozy scents, and reasonable prices. My favorite scents are Sahara Amber—perfect for cozy nights in or when we’re hosting guests—and Woody Jasmine, a bright floral that I love to light while I’m working.
Maldon Flaky Sea Salt

It’s cooking and baking season around here, and honestly, is there anything better than finishing a dish (or a batch of cookies) with a sprinkle of flaky Maldon sea salt? I love having this on hand for dinner parties or when I just want to be a little extra with my baking. Next up, I’m trying the smoked version! Both would make great gifts for anyone who loves to cook or entertain.
Gold Folding Coat Hooks

These little folding hooks are so handy—perfect for hanging outfits while you’re getting dressed or adding to a guest room for extra storage. They’re simple, pretty, and practical. I love that they fold in so they’re super low-profile when not in use. If gold isn’t your thing, they come in several other colors.
Levi’s Cinch Barrel Jeans

Is it just me, or is anyone else still trying to figure out what kind of jeans we’re supposed to be wearing these days? I’m loving the barrel leg on these jeans, and the cinch waist is adjustable (a total win). They’re flattering, comfortable, and officially my new favorite pair of pants.
Polarized Sunglasses

Every time I buy a nice pair of sunglasses, I lose them. Every. Single. Time. I’ve accepted my fate, so now I stick with affordable options—and this pair is a total gem. They look chic, feel sturdy, and I won’t panic if they disappear at the bottom of a beach bag.
Bubble Chandelier

I’d had my eye on a similar chandelier for months, then this bubble chandelier popped up on my homepage—it felt meant to be. It’s a fraction of the price of the designer version, easy to install, and comes with extra glass globes in case any break in transit (three of ours did, but there were plenty of backups). Despite that, it was packaged incredibly well and totally transformed the look and feel of our dining room. I bought these lightbulbs to go with them (they came with some, but I didn’t like the color).
Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm

I got hooked on cleansing balms years ago, but so many of them are so expensive. I wanted something that worked well but didn’t cost $70 just to take off my makeup. I’ve been buying this Versed one for about a year now and absolutely love it—it melts everything off and leaves my skin soft, not stripped.
Matcha Bar Matcha Powder

I make a matcha latte every morning, but the one I usually buy at the store suddenly became impossible to find, so I turned to Amazon. I tried the MatchaBar brand and it’s my new favorite—ceremonial grade, smooth, and less expensive than others I’ve tried. I even set it up on subscription so I never run out. Pro tip: skip the manual whisk and grab a handheld frother for clump-free, café-level matcha.
Burlwood Frame Set

These burlwood frames are small but make a big impact. They come in a set of four and are perfect for gallery walls, small spaces, or mixing into your art collection. They come in a variety of sizes, all the way up to 20×24″ which holds art that’s 16×20″.
