15 internet-famous companies worth shopping

You might be wary of trusting a company that made its name online, but many of the brands you see popping up on the internet these days are worth the hype.

Companies like Glossier, Harry's, Brooklinen and Casper offer more than just well-crafted Instagram feeds and have genuinely shaken up their industries through their direct-to-consumer sales models. Even as some digital native brands have since set up brick and mortar stores, they're still able to offer quality products for less than more established players by cutting out the middlemen.

Because these companies rely so much on stellar online reviews to sell their products, they're also often highly adaptable and responsive to customer feedback; less overhead can mean more innovation, faster.

Check out our picks of 15 of the best internet-famous brands that are definitely worth shopping.

1. Glossier

Instagram's favorite beauty brand is all about dewy minimalism. Underscored-approved products include the Mega Greens Galaxy Pack mask ($22; glossier.com), which leaves skin refreshed but not tight; Haloscope ($22; glosser.com), a highlighter that creates a warm glow without turning your face into a disco ball; Cloud Paint ($18; glossier.com), a cream blush for the perfect subtle flush of color; and, of course, the cult-favorite brow pomade Boy Brow ($16; glossier.com) — essential for those of us who went a little overboard with the tweezers in the early aughts.

2. Brooklinen

Brooklinen has made seriously luxurious bedding more affordable. The Classic Hardcore Sheet Bundle (from $189; brooklinen.com) features cool, crisp percale, perfect for warm sleepers, while those looking for more buttery smoothness should check out the Luxe Hardcore Sheet Bundle (from $219; brooklinen.com). Both are made from certified chemical-free cotton, and with more than 25,000 5-star reviews and a lifetime warranty, you can rest easy that you're making a good investment.

3. Casper

What good are great sheets without a comfy mattress to go under them? Casper completely changed the mattress industry with its bed in a box, delivering an ultra high-quality mattress right to your door for less than many traditional brands. The company has been so successful that it recently added to its lineup: In addition to the award-winning original Casper mattress (from $595; casper.com), you can now shop the Wave (from $1250; casper.com), a newer option offering more ergonomic support plus temperature regulation. Casper also offers a 100-night trial period and free shipping and returns.

4. 23andMe

Get to know yourself on a deeper level with a DNA kit from 23andMe. The classic Ancestry Service ($99; 23andme.com) can tell you about the various parts of the world your DNA comes from (plus how much Neanderthal you've got rattling around), while the Health + Ancestry Service ($199; 23andme.com) offers information about everything from your predisposition to certain diseases to whether you're more likely to prefer salty or sweet foods.

5. Bark Box

Bark Box is to dogs what Birchbox is to their moms and dads. A subscription service entirely for your pooch, Bark Box has delivered more than 2 million boxes filled with pup-themed goodies. A subscription (from $22 per month; barkbox.com) gets you a box of dog toys, treats, and grooming products delivered to your door once a month. You can customize your box based on things like your dog's size, and each box features a unique theme like Chewrassic Park or the Good, the Bag, and the Pugly.

6. Quip
