1. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face.
Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off.
It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes that includes Micellar Water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth.
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick Get it from Amazon for $11.99 . 2.

" — Shasta Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 34 colors). 3.
A Take-n-Slide medication tracker to ensure you don't accidentally miss a day or take a double dosage. It'll be more effective than counting out the pills and trying to remember when you last picked up the bottle. You can reuse one tracker for up to 12 refills, or just keep it on one bottle and refill the bottle.
Promising review: "I'm pretty good at remembering my meds, but having a tracker on the bottle means that I never have to second-guess myself. 'One less thing to worry about' is gold these days. I love the design, too.
It's just a little bit of plastic, very light, but the switch has a clicky mechanical action that feels like a throwback to a more analog era. Satisfying little snap every time. It's extremely simple and extremely effective and does exactly what I want it to do and nothing else.
There's just something really satisfying about finding a tool that solves a problem efficiently and effectively . 5 stars well earned!" — Michael I. Kozar Get two from Amazon for $12.

CurlCap is a Black-owned apparel company founded by Britney Sadé that specializes in caps designed for natural hair with an open back and flexible scrunchie design. Promising review: "This hat is comfortable, well-made, and cute! It is now my go-to hat for casual days when I put my hair in a ponytail.
I have also worn it playing tennis and found that it's more comfortable than wearing a visor. The back elastic really keeps the hat secure without feeling too tight. I have the black twill, and would love to see it in other colors in this fabric for walking, running, and tennis.
Love." — Me Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in 15 styles).
5. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent the dreaded "all my clothes are now pink from this one stray red sock" debacle. These handy sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds so you can keep enjoying your white tees.
Promising review: "These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and looking like new — not that old washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars.
Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like wearing new clothes all the time." — Nikita Get 72 sheets from Amazon for $10.

..I have very fine hair that gets oily the day after I wash it, so it has just been a part of my daily routine.
After trying this product last fall, I have sworn off all other dry shampoos. I love that it’s not an aerosol container, I love that it isn’t heavily scented, and I love that I use it once and I can go three or four days without washing my hair again. Try this product, you will not regret it.
" — Erica McGregor Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in two colors). 7. A Kitsch satin pillowcase that'll be gentle on your hair, leave fewer creases in your face (huge win for side and stomach sleepers), and just feel nice and cool on your skin.
Beauty sleep is a real thing, people! Promising review: "I'm really liking this pillow. I woke up today with nice wavy hair, not dry tangled hair. I've been trying to grow out the layer of hair on the top back of my head and it's been so stubborn! Keeps getting tangled and breaks here and there from bleaching and dye damage, but with this new pillow I notice it doesn't tangle, which means it can grow right without rubbing and tangling/pulling! So I'm excited to see what happens by the end of summer! Also the pillow is soft and is so much prettier in person! 😍😍😍💖💖💖" — Amazon Customer 🌷 Get it from Amazon for $186.
99+ (available in sizes standard/queen and king and 14 styles). 8. A clip-on strainer to make cooking just a little faster and easier.
I personally hate having to dump pasta into a colander only to have to dump it back into the original pan. Enough is enough! It also works great for draining excess oil out of deeper pans. Promising review: "I have a lot of kitchen gadgets, but this one gets used virtually every day.
The rest come out once a season. This is great and saves space in kitchen storage, you won’t need a big colander anymore." — Pen Name Get it from Amazon for $9.
99+ (available in three colors). 9. Hyper Skin's brightening vitamin C serum sure to earn a place in your daily routine, especially if you experience hyperpigmentation.

Its anti-inflammatory ingredients like turmeric and salicylic acid can also help if you experience breakouts! And FYI, Hyper Skin is a Black woman-owned small business. BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Rachel Dunkel says, "I love a good vitamin C serum and this is one of the best I've tried.
It doesn't have the off-putting smell that some serums have and it doesn't feel tacky when it dries. It layers flawlessly under any moisturizer I've used and I can already tell it's working on getting my complexion nice and smooth after I took a long break from using any skincare at all." Promising review : "I have had hormonal acne and scarring my entire adult life and have had enough.
After a dermatologist helped stop my breakouts that had 'permanently' taken over my cheeks, jawline and under neck, I noticed there was So Much Scarring and hyperpigmentation leftover from years of skin abuse and neglect. So I did my homework, found Hyper Skin, waited for a restock, then BOOM. In the first 30 days, my 'stubborn' dark patches were, just, gone.
And after using it for two months, it's brought a dewiness to my complexion, continued to lighten scars, and I honestly have never had better skin in my entire adult life. To be clear (pun intended): This serum did better work than a $400 chemical peel I had tried previously. Worth The Wait.
" — Kathryn C. Get it from Sephora or directly from Hyper Skin for $58 (also available in a mini size for $36). 10.
A dog paw-cleaning device to keep Spot's feet squeaky clean, because you can't exactly put hand sanitizer on a dog. (Seriously, do not do that.) Fill the tube up with soapy water and let the soft bristles scrub away the day's walk.
Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever.
This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini golden doodle who is prissy about her paws and a standard Labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer.
The amount of sand they were tracking in to the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $13.
10+ (available in three sizes and nine colors). 11. A beloved, Shark Tank -featured Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier made with special padding to help you comfortably lift up to 50 pounds worth of bags on each shoulder, so now you really can do it all in one trip.
Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Promising review : "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great.
Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors).

Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic . Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in beauty products with all-natural ingredients. Check out a TikTok of the biotin shampoo in action.
Promising review: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger.
And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker.
Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever." — Diane J.
Huff Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in three scents). 13.
A gel lint roller designed to fit in the palm of your hand, making it easy to throw in a bag for quick refreshes. It's reusable (just wash the lint and fur off), making it way more convenient than a paper roller, too. Promising review : "I am really glad I purchased this product.
It's just the right size to fit into a purse or glove compartment, and it's the perfect solution for quick touch-ups when you're on the go. I have a golden retriever so the struggle to leave the house without any stray dog hair on my clothes is real! The roller ball is very sticky, and allows you to clean up a decent amount of lint or hair, but it's not a large device, so bear in mind you won't be able to use it a ton before having to clean it. Cleaning is very easy.
You just pop the sticky ball part out and rinse it. I loved mine so much I bought one for my mother and mother-in-law. Each of them have pets in the house and my mom told me the other day that she has used hers many times and loves it.
" — Susan Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors). 14.

Use the minty one at night to hydrate and smooth, and then the tingly ginger one to give your lips a little more volume. The results will have you going: 😘 Promising review: "I discovered this product from TikTok, and I had to give it a try.
I tried the day lip plumper, and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes, but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler ! I'm obsessed!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.98 . 15.

The pastel plates are lightweight and "unbreakable" so little ones can be trusted with them. Promising review : "These are microwaveable and light to carry.
Love the colors. Wish they were available in one color only, but I can’t complain. I primarily bought these for microwave purposes.
But can be used for salads, hot soup, etc. Also, it’s an in-between size like a medium. Just right for me.
" — M. Zolnosky Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.55 (also available as bowls !).
16. A set of motion-activated bed lights for anyone who might still be afraid of monsters under the bed or has a history of accidentally stepping on their dog when they get up.

I attached these under his side of the bed and put the sensor at the foot of our bed. The sensor 'sees' us coming in from the hall, from the bathroom, or him from out of the bed. We keep them at 10%, and that’s enough light for him, but it doesn’t wake me up.
They are perfect !" — Lisa Hummel Get it from Amazon for $17.99 . 17.
A pack of Hero Cosmetics pimple patches that protect blemishes and can suck out all the gross gunk in your face overnight. Pimples suddenly don't feel like a big deal. Over 100,000 people gave these patches a 5-star review, so they must be doing something right! Just apply these to pimples after washing your face and let them go to work.
Promising review: "I have been using Mighty Patches for about four or five months now. Mighty Patch is a TOTAL GAME CHANGER; you put it on your blemish, usually at night after your beauty routine, and you wake to find that nasty pimple has almost completely been absorbed into the patch. Won't lie; my pimples sometimes require another patch.
But on day one of use, you'll notice the patch taking away the nasty. At this point, your blemish may be at the last stage of healing, and the Mighty Patch sucked out all of the festering inducing mess, or like myself, I put on another patch the next night and again, more gunk taken out, and more healing has happened. Either way, regardless, this to me ALWAYS WORKS .
Thanks to Mighty Patch my skin has changed. It's healed, there are no acne "tattoos" on my face from my popping and them scarring. This to me is a must have in your beauty bag.
It covers the pimple to protect from outside bacteria and pollution; it absorbs the bacteria and pimple-causing debris from the skin; all while being hardly visible. Im in love with this product." — Hilary Get 36 patches from Amazon for $11.

At least 12 characters, including a symbol, number, capital letter, ancient rune, and the fleeting details of a half-remembered dream? COME ON! It's alphabetized so you can easily find the one you need!. Promising review: "This was exactly what I wanted. The book has a heavy plastic cover and heavy-duty wire binding.
The paper is good quality, although my favorite gel pens did have some bleed-through. I'd recommend ballpoint or pencil. The entries have wide spaces, with room for website, email, username, password, and notes (which is perfect for noting the answers to those security questions.
.. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? I don't remember what I answered a year ago!).
The password section has a good number of extra lines, for those sites that make you change your password with annoying frequency." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes).
19. A Vanicream clinical strength antiperspirant if you're sick of sweating through your shirts before 11 am. It's designed to work on sensitive skin, and a lot of reviewers found success with this product when other antiperspirants failed.
In this heat, drastic measures are needed! Promising review: "I recently developed a serious reaction to antiperspirants. My underarms would break out in a horrible, painful red rash. So I tried different 'natural deodorants.
' They did not break out my underarms, but they didn't really work! So, I tried Vanicream after reading several reviews. IT WORKS!! My underarms don't break out, and it works as well as any antiperspirant/deodorant on the market. After my first order, I ordered two more.
Couldn't be more relieved and happy to find this product!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.25 . 20.
A prep-and-pour cutting board for anyone who gets more chopped garlic on the floor than in the pan (me). When you grab the handle, the edges flip up to create a fun slide situation for your food. Promising review: "While I do own other cutting boards, I'm not sure why.

A shampoo scalp brush ready to blast away dead skin, dirt, and build-up, all while giving you a nice, relaxing head massage. Here's what BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I recently started using one of these, and WOWZA, it really helps you get extra mileage out of your shampoo . I have a whole lot of hair on my head, so sometimes it's a struggle to feel that I've soaped up my whole scalp thoroughly, but this was a very effective way to spread out the suds and really get them to the roots.
I was worried it might tangle in my hair, but it was totally fine on that front too. I've noticed that my hair has been a little less greasy at the roots since I started using it. And I'm echoing a ton of reviewers here when I say it just feels reeeeeally, really nice.
" Promising review: "I’ve suffered from dry skin and a dry scalp ever since I turned 30 . The only thing that helps me is exfoliating. I was initially concerned that the product would be too rough and damage my sensitive scalp, or too soft and ineffective.
However, this brush is perfect for me. It does not tangle my long hair, and it is easy to use and just firm enough to get the job done. My scalp no longer itches, and the icky buildup is gone.
I can’t believe something so affordable has made such a difference in the health of my scalp. I’ve used expensive shampoos and conditioners to no end, with barely a difference. I wish I'd discovered this product much sooner!" — AH Get it from Amazon for $6.
98+ (available in three colors). 23. A Cat Dancer toy you can waggle in front of your feline whenever you wanna give them a proper workout.
Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high.
I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" — Kwoo Get it from Amazon for $3.99 .
24. K18 Leave-In Repair Hair Mask Treatment , a tried-and-true leave-in treatment to rejuvenate bleached or chemically treated hair. If you've been struggling with damage and frizz for some time, over 12,000 reviewers say this could turn things around.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman swears by this stuff. Here's what she has to say: "I bleach my dark brown-black Asian hair blonde every six to eight weeks, so I was immediately intrigued when I first heard some stylists at my salon raving about K18. And it turns out the rest of the world loves it too, because it was sold out at Sephora the first time I tried to buy it.
I eventually snagged a mini bottle and was gobsmacked at how much softer my hair was. Seriously. I spent the whole day touching my hair, and even my boyfriend agreed that my mane was noticeably silkier.
" Promising reviews: "My hair was damaged after bleaching and coloring it too many times. I don't know what they put in this bottle, but it's freaking MAGIC! I was not expecting my hair to be so soft and light after one use, but it happened, and I was blown away. I used it three more times, and it just kept getting better.
My hair is now back to normal. I can't recommend this enough!! The bottle is very small for the price, but it's worth it!!" — Katt "I have bleached curly hair and had gone through some hair loss. I started using this once a week for over a month and I was shocked how soft and how my curls were less frizzy .
The hairdresser said she noticed how much more moisturized and strong my hair is. I have tried every curly hair product on the market and nothing impressed me more than this. Pricey but worth it!" — cassiegirl Get it from Amazon for $29 .

They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — AN Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.

I’m also tender headed so I dread wash days. I used this to detangle wet hair before my wash and during my conditioning process. I’m amazed! This cut my detangling sessions down from an hour and a half to 20 minutes.
I was also able to blow dry my hair to stretch it for styling because it was already so well detangled! Worth every penny." — Trina R. Get it from Amazon for $6.

Replace that smelly cat reek with something more appealing, like fresh citrus or sun-washed cotton. Former Buzzfeed editors Marquaysa Battle and AnaMaria Glavan are big fans of this brand. They have this to say: "I'm sincerely loving this Pet House spray to pieces.
I have a 10-year-old doggo, and while I keep him bathed regularly, I still like to spritz his kingdom (read: my room) with something that smells super good. The Sunwashed Cotton scent specifically makes my nose happy. Another perk? My dog and I both have allergies (oh, the odds), and everything else I spray tends to send us both into sneezing fits.
This spray doesn't tickle either of our noses, and it's kinda unbelievable. Good scent. No itchy noses.
Plus, the spray instantly refreshes my room and sticks around a nice little while. Tens across the board with this baby. Next, I want to try the Fresh Citrus scent.
" — Marquaysa Battle "If your dog is prone to stinky-ness like mine (he can't help his breed-specific flatulence issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), then these candles will actually save your nose." — AnaMaria Glavan Get them from Amazon: the spray for $9.99+ (available in six scents) and the candle for $21.
