1. A Revlon volcanic face roller to soak up the oil you can get on your face from just simply going about your day. ~Roll~ this over any shiny spots and watch them *POOF* out of existence.
Say bye-bye to blotting sheets and powder since there's a new (and faster) oil controller in town! Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it.
I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it.
It was backordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B.

Dear Darling Water Tint because did you know you can get a lip stain *and* rosy blush from just one product? Some reviewers say it's similar to Benefit's Lip Tint because the color, pigment, and anti-smudge formula are "very, very close" to the OG — and who doesn't want a cheap two-in-one product? Promising review : "While I haven't tried the Benefit Lip Tint, I saw this on TikTok and appreciated the lower price point. I am SO glad I gave this a chance! I only have the Cherry color, but it is the perfect bit of natural color and can be deepened as desired upon application. There is no sticky residue and it is not drying or irritating at all.
Looks great alone but even better with gloss on top. Love!" — Mollie Get it from Amazon for $6.67 (available in five shades and combo packs).
3. A compact yet extendable window sunshade to avoid the "OW!" heard around the parking lot after putting your bare legs on the sizzling leather seat.

Check out a TikTok of the sunshade in action. Promising review: "I purchased this windshield cover for our RV; it holds the heat out and covers the window completely! Well worth the money, it’s sturdy, and the suction cups hold up for long periods of time!" — Allison Get it from Amazon for $26.45 .
4. Cosrx's Snail Mucin Essence to fade dark spots, heal acne scars, and smooth the appearance of fine lines on all skin types. People with sensitive skin loved that the formula was gentle on their skin *and* several reviewers noted they got "fast results.
" Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing , rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" Promising review : "I caved to the TikTok hype and now I am obsessed, lol! I have extremely sensitive skin but this was the first product that I didn’t have to go through a 'getting used to' phase.

Check out a TikTok of the mosquito-repelling bracelets in action. Promising review: "I moved last year from Southern California to North Carolina. Bugs of all types have always been attracted to me but the amount of bites I got last summer was WILD.
Someone gave me one of these types of bracelets to use one day, and it seemed to work, SOOOOOO I decided to buy myself an arsenal to prepare for this summer. I read the reviews, and about 99% of them had great results. I've only used this bracelet twice, but both times, I was outside and untouched.
Delivery was very quick so that was a plus. I'm not fond of the smell, I'm hypersensitive to smells, but I'd rather have the odor than being chewed alive." — Tracey Agopian Get a ten-pack from Amazon for $9.
99 . 6. A vacuum-free compression bag so you can throw all your stuff into your suitcase without putting serious leg work into closing it shut.
All you need to do is put your clothes inside the bag, zip it up, roll it, and watch your one million outfits now magically fit in that carry-on. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: " HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews, I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion, I still couldn't quite believe it.
I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly, all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home.
I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny. Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.97 .
7. A Burt's Bees lotion with aloe and coconut oil that'll help soothe and hydrate your searing sunburn. You'll want this on stand-by the next time you underestimate the UV rays that unfortunately left some gnarly sun damage — but do not fret! This starts giving relief within just a couple of hours.
A lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching! Promising review : "I ordered this two weeks ago after seeing rave reviews. So grateful I did. Yesterday I got the worst burn.
It was unbelievable . I applied this four times over 24 hours. When I woke up this morning it was a lot better and has just gotten increasingly better throughout the day.
The burn is mostly faded, and the pain is so much better . I hope to never burn this badly again, but I will be stockpiling this lotion all the same." — Carolina G.

A "flossing" toothbrush with multilayered brustles (both regular and super long and thin) to break up plaque, today's salad, and any other ~mysterious~ specks. They're designed to reach under the gum line for a deep clean that can help prevent cavities and *keep* sensitive teeth happy. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular." Promising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical, but my kids hate flossing their teeth, so I thought this might help in between making them floss.
They work amazingly! My kids said they could see and feel a difference on the first use, and I agree! They are definitely worth a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning. " — AN Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.
90 . 9. NYX's Pore Filler Targeted Stick so you can blur pores and smooth out skin for a shine-free glow.
It comes with a slanted applicator so you can get all of those hard-to-reach areas — and after trying many similar products, including "super expensive" ones, one reviewer calls this one "by far the best." Check out a TikTok of the Nyx Pore Filler in action. Promising review : "This is a life-changing product for me.
I have HUGE visible pores that really age my face, as well as incredibly acne-prone skin that makes me break out from just about every product. I've started to use NYX Pore Filler on my face with some regularity, and it doesn't seem to cause any irritation or breakouts. It does an AMAZING job filling in and smoothing out my face texture.
The difference in my skin consistency is astounding. My skin looks so smooth when I use this product. In the photo [above], I'm using it on just one side of my nose and under the eye area, and the difference is very noticeable (I think!).

The Pink Stuff that'll leave you floored since it cuts through stains, grease, and grime on basically anything . Your child's crayon Van Gogh? Solved. Tarnished Jewelry? Forget about it! Your bathtub that's *so* dirty you think replacing it would be faster? Nope, this pink putty goodness can solve allll of that for ya! The Pink Stuff works on stoves, kitchen floors, metal, ceramics, porcelain, marble, wood, silverware, jewelry, glass shower doors, fiberglass doors, glass stove tops, countertops, toilets, sinks, bathtubs, car wheels, stainless steel — so, basically anything! Promising review: "The Pink Stuff is definitely worth all the hype it has been receiving.
I had seen it in some TikTok compilations and decided to give it a try. The very first thing I cleaned was the inside of my bathtub, and wow! It really made my bathtub shine. Before I was using Kaboom, and that didn't clean as well as The Pink Stuff did.
I was seriously shocked. The next thing I decided to use it on was some caked-on grease on my hood vent. Just like the bathtub, I was shocked that it was able to get it all off.
All you do is apply the paste with a sponge or cloth to whatever you're cleaning and then rinse it with warm water. I found with stubborn spots, add a little warm water to the paste (if you have a spray bottle, I'd recommend filling that with warm water and misting the paste), scrub the spot a little longer, and then rinse . It worked with no issue.
I'm definitely interested in looking at their other cleaning products . I would highly recommend giving The Pink Stuff a try yourself!" — JMURR Get it from Amazon for $5.97 .
11. A garbage disposal cleaner for the lingering odors that make you gag and that might attract gnats trying to snack on last night's leftovers. Those foul smells will be gone in an instant once you send one of these foaming lemon packets down the drain with some hot water.
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica House Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.
67 . 12. Cocokind's Ceramide Barrier Serum to help smooth skin, reduce fine lines, and soothe redness thanks to the ceramide, squalane, and lactic acid formula.
These ingredients can help strengthen your skin barrier while also fighting off dehydration and irritants. After cleansing and toning your skin, put two to three drops on to get the ~full~ effect. Cocokind is a San Francisco-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in botanical-forward skincare.
To use, apply 2-3 drops after washing your face and before moisturizing in the morning and evening. Your skin should still be slightly damp for best results. Promising review: "This is a wonderful, silky, hyaluronic acid-free serum! I find hyaluronic acid not very moisturizing and also slightly irritating.
Unfortunately, it’s in EVERYTHING now, lol. This serum is glycerin-based, which works better to hydrate my skin . I love that it’s chock full of ceramides and fragrance free as well.
Overall, a lovely, effective serum that I highly recommend!" — T Get it from Amazon for $15.39 . 13.

Promising review : "My hair was very dull, no shine at all.
I put this on dry hair, waited about 30 minutes (after this first time, I’ll do the recommended time), rinsed, and was amazed. Soft, shiny hair after one use . Nothing mends the amount of broken ends I had, but they were less noticeable.
I snipped off a couple of inches this morning, and I feel human again. This is a miracle in a jar. " — nettlehart Get it from Amazon for $12.
95 . 14. A pair of affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds because the sound quality, different sets of squishy ear tips (for a custom fit!), and waterproof design (which Apple AirPods are NOT) can match or even outdo their more expensive cousin.
Reviewers rave about how these last for years and are shockingly good for how cheap they are. These come with a wireless charging case that provides up to 14 hours of charge (the earbuds can play for four-plus hours with each full charge). Promising review: "Best decision! These are the greatest headphones ever! I saw them on TikTok months ago and added them to my wishlist.
I got a new phone that doesn't have the headphone port, so I decided it was time to finally buy them. They are amazing, and I probably won't ever take them out of my ears! 😂" — Kate Arnold Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors).
15. A set of disposable air fryer liners because who wants to clean after cooking? Didn't we put ourselves through enough? Well, yes. These liners will hold the greasy, meaty, or crusted-over tidbits that (thankfully) didn't make it onto your plate so you can avoid scrubbing down your air fryer.
Promising review: "I got this when I decided to go on carnivore. I use just one sheet, put the steak in, and air fry it. It can handle lots of grease/fat juice coming out of the steak and doesn't leak or seep.
I use it every day! My steak comes out nice and juicy every time. After using it, I just leave it in until all the fat juice hardens on the sheet, then throw it away in my trash bag. My air fryer remains spotless .
" — PuppyTalk Get a set of 125 from Amazon for $12.99 (available in various sizes and shapes for square and round air fryers). 16.

It's also super affordable and sweat-proof — so this may be your new go-to! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of all the 5-star reviews, and now I will never look back!! Putting it on is like giving my eyelashes butterfly wings. It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the livelong day no matter how much you sweat, and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time.
" Promising review : "Saw this product on TikTok and thought it would be expensive looking at the results they got. I am beyond amazed with how my lashes look after about two coats. For around $5, you couldn’t ask for a better mascara! I will be buying this same one when I run out.
I was not expecting to like it as much as I do! No complaints." — Kd Get it from Amazon for $4.99 .
17. A sleek portable charger with built-in charging cords (including USB-C, lightning and micro) so you can juice up all your devices on the go. It also comes with a USB and USB-C cord plug-in *and* it can connect to outlets so even if the battery's dead, you can charge it anywhere.

You might be disgusted, but at least it'll be back to normal! Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old, and I didn’t think it would do anything.
IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, lucky. I would highly recommend. Keeps everything running correctly and clean .
" — Lauren Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95 . 19.
A Coop Home Goods pillow almost guaranteed to be the pillow of your dreams, since the memory foam fill is adjustable to your preferred firmness, size, and shape. This can satisfy every type of sleeper, from the starfisher to the balled-up shut-eyer. Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but I have to for this.
I saw this pillow on TikTok, and it got me curious, so I immediately came to Amazon. OMG, it’s such a game-changer. I’m a side sleeper, and this pillow is heaven .
It’s some of the most comfortable sleep I have had in ages. I love it so much that I bought a second one and have my eye on the body pillow. Obsessed! You need this in your bedroom.
" — MT Get it from Amazon for $75+ (available in two sizes and three shapes). 20. A loose sleeveless dress with pockets that's perfect for a euro summer trip or to casually slip on for something *chic*— one reviewer even said, "It's everything I want in a dress and so much better than I expected!" Promising review: " I love this dress.
It's comfortable, fits my pregnant belly really well, and is still my normal size, so I'll be able to wear it after birth as well. The lace is soft and non-irritating and really adds an extra touch of classiness. The pockets are nice; I like that they're on the front and not the side.
The material stays nice and cool in the summer heat. The elastic is not too tight around my middle, even now. The fit is nice, and it flows nicely .
" — Chelsea Promising review: " This dress is perfect for the change from summer to autumn. It can be worn when you’re out doing errands, or you can wear it on a cool evening with a sweater. The fabric has a silky texture, and the color is beautiful.

Once you cleanse your skin, apply this hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica duo, which hydrates and soothes your skin. You'll feel like a smooth ball of strawberry mochi in no time! Promising review: "Just recently found out about toner, and then found out how expensive it is.
This, after a lot of research, was the most affordable option with good ingredients. Now that I’m using it, I see how little I use it every day. It’s supposed to have seven layers on your face every morning.
This really works, and I feel my skin is good all day." — Debi Get it from Amazon for $23 . 22.
A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that's essentially a sticky lint roller for pet hair, but guess what...
there's nothing sticky about it (aka no wasteful sheets to toss)! This ingenious design that pet owners rave about picks up all the shed hair you just accepted was part of your couch, favorite blanket, and general aura. And when you're done, just empty it right into the trash. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has to say about it: "The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack.
I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair.
It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside , which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.
" Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable.
I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 .
23. An adorable polar bear hydrating eye stick with Iceland glacial water to help make your under-eyes feel refreshed, depuffed, and hydrated. Pro-tip: add it to the fridge for an extra cooling effect! Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes, and this has really changed this for me.
The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable.
My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works.
" — Ben Get it from Amazon for $9.90 . 24.
A pair of flowy elastic pants for an upscale version of sweatpants when you find yourself binge-watching seasons of your favorite comfort show while snuggled up under a blanket — now if you decide to leave the house, you're ready to serve! Promising review: "I was a little on the fence about these because some of the reviews were ‘eh’ — especially because I ordered a white pair. But holy moly, these are the best linen pants I have tried, and I’ve tried A LOT. These are double-lined (I love that), so you can barely see through.
I usually stick to wearing lighter underwear anyway, but I did wear black once, and you could barely see them. They were a little wrinkly, but they shook out great, and I didn’t even need to steam them. I will be ordering more pairs because they are just so good! " — Haley Boutwell Get it from Amazon for $34.
99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 16 colors). 25. A minty teeth-whitening pen that's painless for your teeth *and* bank account since its cheaper than a professional treatment (and just less of a hassle).
This handy pen can lighten years worth of coffee, tea, and wine stains in just one use! Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before, but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth, and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market, but this one was super easy and didn’t hurt my teeth at all and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding, and it worked like a charm.
I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes !" — Victoria Bravo Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95 .
26. Ouai's Hair Treatment Masque that may make you want to splurge a little more than usual. Its smooth, hydrating formula is great for thick and curly hair — the shine, bounce, and smell of your hair after you use this will have you questioning why you didn't get this sooner! Promising review: "I’ve been using this brand and specific hair mask for over two years! This hair mask leaves my hair feeling weightless, silky and soft.
The fragrance isn’t overwhelming and it’s easy to apply to your wet hair. T he price point isn’t bad and the hair mask lasts me months. I personally use it once a week.
I have thick hair too!" — Kristin Marshall Promising review: "Since Covid, my thick, natural curly hair had suddenly become dry and lifeless. Full of tangles and shedding badly. So I bought this and left it on for 10 mins.
It works! My curls came back and my hair is no longer looking dry and damaged. I have been using this every time I wash and wash my hair less, so it doesn’t shed as much. Hoping I can eventually get away with just using it once a week, but right now, it’s working, and I’m happy.
" — Ren Get it from Amazon for $38 (also available for fine/medium hair ). 27. A set of Sea Bands for the easily nauseous or occasional barfer who needs a helping hand.
This is designed to hit an acupressure point that can help reduce nausea and even motion sickness on your next bumpy bus, train, cruise, or car ride. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center . Promising review: "These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially carsickness.
My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So, I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car.
At one point I did have one child remove their bands because they said they were getting too tight. But after only a few minutes without them, a headache started to come on, so they immediately put them back on, and the relief was instant. I have suffered for decades, and now I know better.
I will never travel without mine again! " — 1SmartCookie Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.53 (available in adult and children's sizes). 28.
Burn After Writing , a journal so you can cathartically write about your feelings (new or old) and send them into the abyss with a match. The journal is meant to lift you away from social media so you can feel calm for bedtime — and not catch another case of FOMO that some internet content is making you feel. Promising review: "I first saw this book on TikTok and decided to look more into it.
I purchased four total because I know some people holding onto things that are difficult to let go of. It’s a great way to look at things from a different perspective and truly hold yourself accountable for different things in your life. I love what it stands for, and I look forward to when I burn mine after I’m done.
Self-love, self-care, and meditation for a better state of mind tomorrow are always the goal. I definitely recommend it to those susceptible to change and the willingness to try things differently. You’re so much more than what’s been done to you, and someone’s inability to see your worth does not decrease your value.
Choose you for a change." — Brent Helm Get it from Amazon for $7.32 .
29. Vivaia's pointed ballet flats , because it turns out, a ZERO break-in period for comfy shoes is not too good to be true. They're also water and stain-resistant, which means soggy or stained shoes from puddles, sudden rainstorms, or other unexpected happenings are not in your future! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: " You probably recognize the brand name from a bajillion Instagram posts that are like "I DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY IN THESE HEELS!!" for the heeled version of these , but damn if they aren't right.
These didn't cut into the back of my heel at all, and felt comfy enough that I walked as easily as I would in my usual sneakers, if not easier since these are SO so lightweight. I took these on a recent trip to London where I was walking 20,000+ steps a day, and can confirm they hold up in rain (boy howdy did we get a lot of it). Plus anytime muck got on them it was easy to scrub it off with soap and water.
I'm so excited to have finally found a pair of flats comfortable enough to trek in that I am truly sitting on my HANDS trying not to buy them in every color." Get it from Vivaia for $97 (available in 34 styles and sizes 5–11). Check out the Instagram-famous Vivaia heels for more options! 30.
Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm with a blend of vitamin E and pearl barely to remove makeup with EASE. Say goodbye to those wipes when you can swipe this on — it leaves no residue or oily mess on your skin.
It can help brighten and reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots on your skin, which makes it a triple-threat product! Juno & Co. is a small beauty brand 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 $14.

Promising review : "For a long time, I was dragging out my big 10-quart Instapot to make rice for dinner almost every single night — well, when you’re only cooking for two people, that’s a bit extreme! I found this with a quick search and figured for the price, it couldn’t hurt to try! I’m SO HAPPY I bought this. It’s such a perfectly small size; it fits beautifully on my counter and makes the perfect amount of rice for my boyfriend and me to eat at dinner. No big equipment.
Comes with a cute little book with recipes to try! The cilantro lime rice was a hit!" — Allie Conefrey Get it from Amazon for 17.99+ (available in nine colors and various bundles with other Dash products). 32.

This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more. Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok and have been having issues with mosquito bites. I used it a few times to relieve itchiness, and I am convinced it works! Have been recommending it to my family and friends.
Read the directions and follow them carefully. Don't use this on your face neck, or other sensitive areas. Don't do a lot of suction, just a little bit.
And do it a few times if needed. Great invention!" — Joe Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in three colors).
33. A longline sports bra you can wear for your next morning workout class, grocery run, or *even* your "let me rot all day in bed" moment — reviewers say this is similar to Lululemon, with one saying, "This tank top is the ONLY alternative to Lulu lemon that I find an acceptable swap." Promising review: "I saw these tanks all over TikTok.
I decided to purchase one and absolutely love it. The fit and style is exactly the same . I will say the material is not as soft and is more like a bathing suit material, but overall, it’s a great purchase!" — M Get it from Amazon for $18.

Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics. Promising review: "I take my lunch to work, and during mid-day, I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee.
The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup.
It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer.
It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus, you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave, which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily, too.
If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years.

Peach & Lily is a skincare brand founded by celebrity esthetician Alicia Yoon that specializes in toxin-free, vegan beauty products made with recyclable packaging.

Check out a TikTok of the acne spot dots in action. Promising review: "This brand is so affordable and works just the same as the more expensive brands. I go through them so quickly, so this is a plus! I’m generally a picker at my zits, but if I can get to one of these dots in time, I save my face a lot of irritation and pain .
I wear them at night and sometimes during the day, it only takes about two to get rid of those pesky whiteheads, sometimes more for a big zit. They really suck everything out ." — Savannah Wilson Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $4.
88 . 36. A teeny tiny compost bin/trash can you can hang on the inside of your cabinet doors to keep it out of the way but also ready for any food scraps or junk.
You can flip up the lid as usual *or* slide it off if you don't want it getting in the way. Promising review : "So I saw this tiny trash can on TikTok, and I was moving into a tiny studio apartment and thought this would be perfect. Turns out it's one of the best things I've ever bought .
I installed mine with the over-the-cabinet hooks (also comes with adhesive stickers) on my kitchen island, and it is so convenient I can't even express with words. The lid is on this nifty hinge so you can open it by flipping the lid up, or by sliding it forward and it folds down out of the way. I usually keep it open while I'm cooking but I can close it super quickly if I see the dog coming.
There is a little pull tab for easy opening. It is so easy to use and easy to clean. It's also so cute! I use my plastic grocery bags as trash can liners for this and they fit perfectly.
It comes with a roll of bags as well. The lid lifts off easily to change bags out. Clicks back on easily over the new liner.
Can't recommend this enough!! This is going on my list of 'best things I've ever spent my money on.' " — Ginger Get it from Amazon for $21.59 (available in three colors).
37. A reusable Baggu tote bag you can easily fold away into your everyday bag so you're ready for any emergency pit-stop while you're out and about. These are light, durable, and deep enough to hold the things you don't *need* but you definitely crave while grocery shopping hungry.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about the whole Baggu trend going on, but now I understand — yes, tote bags can be found much cheaper, but the quality on Baggus are incomparable. They're so lightweight but can hold everything you need and more while being compact, also folding it up is much easier than expected!" — Binn Get it from Urban Outfitters for $14 (available in six styles). 38.
A rose gold rechargeable electric lighter with a flexible extra-long neck to light things without an open flame — forget the days of almost (or actually) burning yourself with actual matches trying to reach your deep candles when *this* can do that so easily! Promising review: " The quality of this lighter is much better than I expected, especially for the price . For one, its heavier than I expected it to be. The body appears to be made of metal or stainless steel and not cheap plastic.
I've only used it a few times by lighting some candle wicks to test it out, but it performed flawlessly. I like that it has an on/off switch for safety and lights that indicate if the battery needs charging, but mine came fully charged right out of the box. One thing I did notice, is that it only stays lit for a few seconds even if you keep the button pressed, then has to be re-activated.
However, I really don't mind that. For the price, this lighter is hard to beat. Hopefully no more need for matches or butane lighters.

A pet urine stain-removing spray that's sure to take away the odors you stumble upon (sniff up close and personally) and realize that your furry friend went #1 all over your carpet. Instead of getting a new carpet, *this* can help tackle old or new stains so your nostrils, carpet, and guests stay happy! Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. Promising review: "Be gone ye smells of summer heat! Bought a place in spring before the heavy summer heat had hit.
After moving in, discovered that the carpets were saturated with pet smells. The smell was pretty unbearable and getting worse by the day with every increasing degree. Combine that with some new odors from our own dog and you get the picture.
It took a while to track down and treat all of the spots but, once I did, this stuff took the smell out completely. Our puppy is basically trained now but, when the occasional accident does happen, all I do is dry it out; wipe it down; and apply Rocco & Roxie. Voila! no lingering smells.

An Oxo Tot Grape Cutter so you can avoid potential choking hazards during your little one's snack time (and doing it fast) — this also works on tomatoes, berries, and olives, so you can put your chopping skills on the back burner like Kendall Jenner should have done while filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians . Check out a TikTok of the grape cutter in action. Promising review : "When we went to search Amazon for 'grape cutters,' I was worried that we may have hit rock bottom.
My wife and I found ourselves dreading the process every time our daughter wanted a handful of grapes. We bought this little gadget with low expectations and fully anticipated using it two times before throwing it in our kitchen drawer where it would inevitably sit for a year before we threw it away. Boy were we wrong.
It only took one use before we realized that what we thought would be another useless novelty, was actually a parent's HOLY GRAIL of food preparation. No joke, I literally used it the other day to cut THREE grapes for MYSELF, just for the enjoyment. I only take time to write reviews on products that I feel are truly worth my time to endorse, and this little gadget was more than worthy.
If your little one enjoys eating grapes, do yourself the unimaginable pleasure of buying this...
you won't regret it." — Michael Get it from Amazon for $11.95 .
41. A pair of "recovery" sandals with enough cushion to feel like you're walking on clouds — even people with plantar fasciitis and other conditions absolutely swear by them (!), which means these are the perfect warm weather, at-home or quick errand slip-on shoe. Promising review: "Total comfort and instant relief from plantar fasciitis.
I will order more." — mrs flores Promising review: "I have ordered several pairs trying to find the one that lives up to its hype, well this one is it. Super cushy, fits true to size — I ordered the mauvish pink colored one and love it.
I will be ordering a black pair . I have a heel spur and planters fasciitis so regular flip-flops bother me after wearing several hours, these do not. Very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend.

Promising review : "If you came here to purchase them because a TikTok influencer told you to...
..so did I.
The rumors are true; these little puffs work wonders! I love that it has the pointed end to really get under the eye and around the nose. You can't beat the price and they help with a flawless powder application. Just buy them.

Hally's Shade Stix so you can test out what a highly pigmented color looks on you (without fully committing since it washes out!) It works on all hair colors and textures, so next time you want a *pop* of color at a concert or sporting event — you're ready with this. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "I tried this in the pink and I am o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d. You use the wand included in the dye tube and brush the color right into your hair with one or two swipes, depending how strong you want it to be.
What I love is that it doesn't get tacky and disrupt the natural flow of your hair — mine stayed perfectly curled in the front even with the color sticking to it. It stayed vibrant in my hair for a full 24 hours, and then truly did wash right out in the shower so fast that I forgot it was even there to wash out in the first place. It didn't leave any kind of residue in my VERY white bathtub.
I also wore a baseball cap at one point while I had the dye in, and it miraculously did not transfer any color onto the fabric either." Get it from Amazon for $9 (also available in purple and blue ). 44.
A set of vintage-inspired glass mugs that feel splurge-worthy and make for impeccable vibes when you open up your coffee mug cabinet — these can spruce up any morning and make you feel like a Pinterest board, but IRL when sipping on your coffee or eating your oatmeal out of it. Promising review : "Came straight to Amazon when I saw these beautiful mugs on TikTok. I just had to have them! I’m very picky with mugs, these are perfect for me.
Stunning to look at and a pleasure to drink out of. Highly recommend!" — Margarita Harutoonian Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99 (available in eight styles).

Promising review: "I love this tank top, it's now a staple item in my summer wardrobe. It goes with everything, and it's not super tight but also fits perfectly. Super soft, and it doesn’t shrink in the wash either, which is a huge plus!" — Laurburn Get it from Torrid for $29.
90 (available in women's sizes M–6X and 10 colors). 46. A super plush blanket that'll match the expensive vibes of Barefoot Dreams for only a fraction of the price — one reviewer said, "Might be the best thing I’ve ever purchased on Amazon.
" Promising review : "I saw this blanket on TikTok and I have to say I absolutely love it. I washed it several times now and it’s maintained its elasticity and softness after each wash. It’s warm enough but not too hot for a throw.
Absolutely recommend this blanket!" — Amy Get it from Amazon for $25.64+ (available in 27 styles and four sizes). 47.
A velvety vintage-inspired ottoman so you can add a little furniture-bling that *also* has storage. The next time you find your feet propped up on this while relaxing (but have no room for your drink), just flip over the cushion, and now you have a table — a true 3-in-1! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about it: "Another bonus? If you flip the lid over, it has a wooden base, so you can *also* use this as a teensy snack table. I recently got one of these for my new apartment to stash my candles and ~candle accessories~ in and it's pretty much become my favorite piece of furniture?? I use it to prop up my feet during work hours and sometimes if I want to eat on my couch I'll use it as a tray.
It's also sturdy enough to sit on, if I ever wanted to have guests over and needed an extra chair. It was RIDICULOUSLY easy to set up — I had it done in less than 10 minutes , and probably didn't even need the directions. It also just looks so darn cute (and comes in so many colors that I'm tempted to buy another!).
" Promising review: "I was using a small foldable step stool in my bedroom to reach the top shelves of my wardrobe. But you know, those things aren’t pretty. It wasn’t be bringing me joy, just begrudging utility.
This ottoman brings me joy. It’s pretty, it’s lightweight so I can move it easily to use it as a step stool, and the storage capacity is perfect for things like my nightly moisturizers, my Kindle and journals , and other little miscellaneous things." — Monica N.

A cold brew maker because freshly brewed coffee in the morning should be on standby for the night owl. Put your favorite ground coffee in, seal the lid on tightly, and leave it in the fridge. You'll come back to four cups of cold brew that'll have you buzzing like a bee in no time.
Promising review: "This coffee maker is my BEST FRIEND! I use this every day; it's so easy to use! My coffee comes out perfect every time. I'm a cold coffee drinker and I put about 8–10 scoops of freshly ground coffee into the filter. I let it sit overnight and the next morning, I remove the filter and dump the grounds.
It makes four days' worth of coffee and I love that it's ready to go for me, especially since I wake up at 4:50 a.m. and I need to make my coffee quickly! It's very easy to clean as well.
