Why Trust BuzzFeed Shopping?

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.

Curtis Teegardin is a Shopping & Products resident writer who writes about beauty, fashion, travel products, and more, ranging from splurgey to cheap. He’s been with BuzzFeed since June 2024 and has thrown himself headfirst into testing products and finding the next best product. When he isn’t writing, you’ll find him window shopping and justifying purchases left and right as “necessities.” Also, he *loves* to point out products to his friends in various stores and say, “I wrote about that.”
