1. A mold & mildew removing gel , because you don't need to get your whole shower redone when this is in your life. Just squeeze out and let this non-drip gel work its magic overnight — NO s c r u b b i n g.
It clings to tile, meaning it'll STAY PUT, killing mold & mildew and keeping it from reappearing later down the road. Promising review: "Didn’t think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn’t think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning.
Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn’t quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles.
I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." — thekuan Get it from Amazon for $14.
99 . 2. A few sheets of LED-dimming stickers to finally keep those pesky router, TV, clock, and other electronic lights from ruining your ~room of complete darkness~.
They dim 50-80% of the light, so you can still tell that your devices are still actually *on* and functioning. You can always double them up to completely block out the light source if you'd like (many reviewers do this) or buy the stronger **full black-out** edition ! Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep.
Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result.
I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in sharpie, etc, but true to the name of these products if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all , which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this.
Other than that, excellent product!" — Amazon Customer Get a sheet of over 100 dimming stickers (in multiple sizes and shapes) from Amazon for $4.39 . 3.
A pack of Avarelle pimple patches formulated with tea tree oil and calendula oil (to heal and shrink zits faster overnight). AND they come in two sizes — classic circular patches & large, square patches so you can easily treat and shrink clusters of pimples all at once. A lot of reviewers who have also tried Cosrx and Nexcare patches prefer these! Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market.
I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a Whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief.
THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help.
Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." — Caitlyn Get the box of 40 round patches from Amazon for $7.64 .
OR try their large, rectangular size to tackle multiple pimples at once. Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $7.64 .
4. A plant-based, paraben-free shampoo so you can feel good about *finally* washing caked-on foundation out of your favorite tools without irritating sensitive skin or leaving behind residue. The formula'll even leave the bristles soft and conditioned.
AND it's cruelty-free and the bottle is made from recycled plastic. I use this on my brushes and beauty blenders and it just *really* works. Promising review: "This is the best brush shampoo I've ever used.
I've used brush shampoos from high-end/luxury lines, too, and they did not work as well as this. First and most importantly for me, there is no scent! I absolutely hate when companies put heavy perfume in products that end up touching or going near the face. When washing brushes with shampoo that is heavily perfumed, that just ends up irritating my sinuses whenever I'm using the brushes to apply makeup.
So awful. This is not like that at all, so I can use my makeup brushes without having sinus/allergy trouble. It cleans extremely well! No more going over and over again like with using other makeup brush shampoos.
A little goes a long way, too, so it is extremely economical. The value is awesome. I highly recommend this brush shampoo and will continue purchasing it.
" — L.L. Get it from Amazon for $6.
96 . 5. A borderline miraculous shoe-cleaning kit to erase the damage of wet weather/mud from your favorite kicks, whether they're leather, nubuck, suede, canvas, vinyl etc.
Just add on a little bit of the concentrated cleaner and water to the included brush and scrub away — the blend of saddle soap, oils, and conditioners will gently banish dirt, grime, and even grease and grass stains. Promising review: "It works great! I was a little unclear on what exactly I could use this shoe cleaner on when I ordered it, but I trusted the reviews and went for it. Turns out, this shoe cleaner works on just about anything.
I cleaned up all my daughter's outgrown shoes to get them ready for consignment, and this stuff cleaned the whole lot! It worked on everything from Crocs and jellies to Uggs and Birkenstocks. I still can't figure out how something so powerful when cleaning canvas and rubber could somehow melt into suede and leather without leaving a trace. They should call it Pink Mystery Shoe Cleaner, if you ask me.
I still have 95% of the bottle left, by the way. I definitely think I got my money's worth! Nice that they threw in the brush, too." — Beth C.
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 . 6.
A stainless-steel tongue cleaner that'll make halitosis a distant memory. You won't even know what kind of bad breath-causing gunk is on your tongue until you see the results for yourself! The curved stainless-steel will feel smooth against your tongue, removing bacteria without causing irritation. Promising review: "Besides its obvious purpose, this item is really fun to use! I also like the consequences; I get to see the 'stuff' on the metal piece when I scrape it which tells me I'm taking crap off my tongue.
And then my tongue also feels scraped, which makes me feel like I did something more than just some kind of toothpaste or mouthwash to generally keep my mouth clean (which hasn't worked before). I think the feeling of having done something specific to keep your mouth clean is an important aspect of having confidence in your breath. After having bad breath for a while, no matter whether my mouth is clean or not, I shy away from talking directly at people.
But this helps remove some of my doubts and act like a normal human being again." — Ashley Get it from Amazon for $7.70 .
7. A pack of anti-vibration pads , because laundry day is a chore enough without the rattling of the machines ruining your simultaneous Netflix binge. They're universal in size to work with most machines too! Promising review: "I live in a New York City apartment on the fourth floor, I recently bought an LG all in one washer and dryer combo.
I love the machine, however, when the spin cycle starts my apartment sounds and feels like either an earthquake or living on a rocket launch pad. I was confident that if I continued to use this machine it will eventually fall through the ceiling and on my neighbor 's head. I purchased a vibration pad from home depot but the earthquake continued.
This product saved me from losing my apartment and possibly a murder rap, the vibration was reduced by 95%. I can now wash knowing my laundry and the rest of the world is safe." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of four from Amazon for $19.
95 . 8. An anti-fogging spray to keep your glasses crystal clear while you stay Masked-Up.
One quick spritz, let it sit and dry on your lenses, and you're good to go! Reviewers also say they're great to keep swim goggles from fogging. While many, many reviewers have found this product helpful, there are a few things to keep in mind! It's meant for non antireflective–coated lenses , and you need to apply the right way. Spray a bit on *both* sides of your lenses, then use your fingers to rub it in (across the full surface of the lens).
Let it sit for 60 seconds, then wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Then you're good to go, so get ready to break out 🎵I can see cleeearrrly now! 🎵 Promising review: "Don’t bother looking at another brand- trust me when I say this works. I’ve got everyone on this spray! Makes a mask with glasses no issue at all.
Lasts a long time and doesn’t need to be reapplied every single time you clean your glasses." — JudeasMom Get it from Amazon for $8.55 .
9. A two-pack of mint-flavored, sensitive teeth–friendly teeth-whitening pens you can just brush on and remove those deep-set coffee, tea, and wine stains — without all the hassle of those trays or strips. Just twist the bottom and paint onto your teeth.
Each pen has 20 uses, and you can see how much you've used through the handy transparent tube! Promising review: "I have used so many products before and this is the best so far! I even got a whitening kit from my dentist which is supposed to be very effective but it only burned my gums and the whitening wasn’t as fast as this product. I bought this just because it was not expensive and had good reviews but didn’t have any hopes it would work because it was a lot more affordable than the Dr’s kit that cost me hundreds of dollars. It is very easy to use.
It actually works even after first application. It doesn’t burn gums. It doesn’t make your teeth sensitive.
" — Melinda Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95 . 10.
A pack of waterproof blister bandages that are thick enough to protect and prevent blisters (like moleskin), but also made of hydrocolloid to treat any existing blisters while you wear 'em. On a family trip to Rome in 2019, my dad brought new shoes (???? terrible idea!!) and got really bad blisters. Luckily his Virgo daughter had these bbs along and enabled him to walk in much more comfort until they healed.
Promising review: "Great bandages! These are easy to use and so soft. They stayed on during a shower which impressed me as well. They are the perfect size and so comfortable .
I also appreciated the fact that they didn't come off in my shoe which is always a problem for me! Love the little case for them which I can easily throw in my purse. Great blister bandages!" — CTSmith Get a pack of 12 (three different sizes) from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in packs of just one size/shape for heel, spot, or toe).
11. An exfoliating mitten so you can scrub off dead skin cells and reveal softer, smoother skin during your Everything Showers. Just lather up and (gently!) massage your skin — reviewers say this is great for preventing ingrown hairs, helping reduce KP, and using before applying fake tan! Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas.
Promising review: "I'll be honest; I thought this would be another thing I saw on Amazon via TikTok that was way overhyped. I have [super] dry skin, and despite using lotions, oils, and gentle body washes, I'm an ashy mess. This thing is incredible.
I don't think I've ever been this exfoliated in my life! Not a single flake or scaly patch in sight. 1,000/10." — Ruth Bromberg Get it from Amazon for $8.
99+ (available with one or two mittens). 12. A garlic press , but not just *any old* garlic press.
This one has a built-in spring-loaded scraper that sends all your nicely minced garlic right into your pan (no stinky garlic fingers here). And you don't even need to peel your cloves beforehand! Promising review: "Was desperately seeking a garlic press after my previous one started chipping and eventually fell apart. This press is obviously more money than the replacement one I bought at the supermarket but it is worth it.
When you press a clove of garlic, the garlic actually gets minced and comes out of the press. It is easy to clean, insuring that there is never any leftover garlic bits to find on the next use. And you don't have to look around for the other piece to push through the little holes, because it is securely attached.
No chipping despite the bright red color. Also lightweight." — Susan E.
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two colors and in a stainless steel version). 13.
Essence's Lash Princess mascara , which over *240,000* 5-star reviewers swear by for dramatic length and volume *without* clumps, thanks to the flake- and gob-free formula and cone-shaped brush. Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte ($23) for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love.
It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing.
I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat like crazy...
and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E. Miller Get it from Amazon for $4.99 .
14. A reusable Revlon oil-absorbing roller stick with a ball made of volcanic stone that sucks the excess shine right off your face. Just pop it out and give it a wash once in a while and you can reuse it over and over and over again! Promising reviews: "Best purchase i have ever made.
Oily skin type ppl definitely need this. Life changing." — Estefania Barros "This.
.. this! I don't know what sort of sorcery this is, but this thing totally works, and it's freaking me out! I tested it by standing outside for a few mins (I live in the south, very humid) and then came back inside and rolled it along my nose.
Sucked that oil right up!! I cannot believe I have been wasting money on blotting paper when this was out there (and reusable)! Totally buying some for my sister and friends. If you're on the fence about it, JUST BUY IT!" — Stellar Get it from Amazon for $9 . Btw, now the roller comes in a rose quartz version you can store in the fridge for a soothing face massage! 15.
A pair of almost-too-pretty lace Bandelettes , aka spandex-nylon blend anti-chafing bands guaranteed to stay in place all day long and keep friction at bay so you can strut your stuff irritation-free. They're also available in plain (non-lace) versions! Promising review: "Buy them! These are great and do exactly what they are meant to do. I love not having to wear Spanx or rely on any cream to not chafe my thighs when wearing a dress.
They sit high up enough to where they aren’t visible in a short dress which is great because I’m 5’9” and Spanx typically is longer than any short dress especially once I start moving around. Would buy these again!" — Devon Kirms Get them from Amazon for $16.55+ (available in small-3XL and in 18 colors and styles).
16. A FURemover rubber broom that, despite the name, isn't just for those with shedding pets (altho it's great for that) — as one of my BuzzFeed shopping colleague knows first hand, it's also great at getting *human* hair out of carpets. It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet.
*And* it has a built-in squeegee great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces. Promising review: "This is the best broom ever. My parents own multiple and I just bought my first.
It wasn't to clean up pet hair but to collect my own hair, as I shed uncontrollably. The hair ball that formed after sweeping my living room carpet would make you think I should be bald. It was gross but glorious.
Everyone should own one." — Michelle K. Tulcan Get it from Amazon for $12.
98 . 17. CeraVe's Retinol Serum , which lives up to the CeraVe name and uses *encapsulated* retinol to reduce the appearance of scars and pores without flaking or redness.
If you haven't gotten into retinoids yet or are worried about irritating your skin, this gentle but effective serum is a great option — and reviewers say they like it better than other more expensive options (like Murad's Retinol Serum, which retails for $92). And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff! I saw a dermatologist on TikTok who raved about this product and tried it out, and it's been the most amazing stuff! It's helped my face to clear up very quickly removing all of the blemish spots and dark spots around my face. It's been one of the best products I've added to my face routine. This would be great for all ages/stages and for any weather types.
It doesn't moisturize much, but that's not it's intention, and there is no scent, so I'd imagine it's great for all skin types and hypoallergenic." — Successful Solo Promising review: "I bought this for my teenager to use for his acne scars, but he ended up not using it. I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try.
I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside." — C.
Munsterman Get it from Amazon for $15.99 . 18.
A Minion-shaped steam diverter for Instant Pots, Ninja Foodis, and other pressure cookers, and whose only ~despicable plan~ is to move steam to the side, rather than venting up towards your cabinets. No warped wood or dripping condensation here! Reviewers say it fits a variety of pressure cookers! Promising review: "We bought a Ninja Foodie and love to use it. However, we were always worried about the amount of steam being released right near our cabinets.
Also, when turning the pressure release valve, we worry that we will be too close to the steam. This gadget solves both our issues. It changes the direction of the steam and makes it so your fingers are further away from the steam when you release the pressure.
In addition, it’s adorable. The steam comes out of the minion’s eyes. It’s comical and functional.
I stumbled across this product accidentally and am extremely happy I did!" — Kim Inman Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two styles: one for Instant Pot Duos and one for Ninja Foodis and Instant Pot Luxes). 19.
A durable honeycomb drawer insert to corral your socks, scarves, ties, undies, etc. in style — so you can actually see which is which when getting dressed in the morning. Just snap it together (no tools required), and the cells will expand to fit your drawer size! Promising review: "Just buy this! It changed my life (I have 2).
I had a messy sock drawer where I shoved them in and closed it up, then the next day before work i would have difficulty finding my socks. Also, I was folding the top sock over the lower sock and blowing out my elastic..
...
...
...
..NO MORE.
This sock helper is GREAT! I roll the socks and can have the cool ones in front." — melissa mansfield Get it from Amazon for $7.99 .
20. A completely reusable sponge (run it through the washing machine or dishwasher for cleaning) made from terry cloth on one side, cotton flannel on the other, and polyester mesh for a super effective clean that's also better for the earth. The prints are also just super cute! Promising review: "I’ve been searching for a dish sponge alternative for a long time.
I bought one of these to try it out. I loved it so much I bought three more!! Excellent quality, flexible, soft but scrubs well with the mesh, keeps a good lather..
. all in all even better than a regular dish sponge! I’m thrilled! No more plastic trash dish sponges for me!! Thank you!! 💙🌎💚" — Jessica Hames Get it from Marley's Monsters on Etsy for $10.20+ (also available in a three-pack for $32; available in four colors).
Marley's Monsters is a woman-owned shop based in Oregon (and home to the ~original~ Un-Paper Towel) making eco-friendly essentials for everyday use. 21. An easy-breezy pineapple corer perfect 🎶 if you like piña coladas 🎶.
.. but not spending a fortune on pre-cut pineapple.
This thing is so easy to use, it's like a tropical vacation in your kitchen. Cut off the top of your pineapple, twist the corer into the fruit (kind of like a wine bottle corkscrew), then pull it out. You now have a cored and spiral-cut pineapple in minutes! Promising review: "OMG! Why did I take so long to get one of these? I would typically spend two or three minutes slicing up a pineapple and I LOVE pineapple so its pretty common for me.
Now, I can do it in 30 seconds , and that was the first time not knowing what I was doing or what to expect. I suspect I'll have this down to 10 seconds on the next go round. Love IT! Oh, BTW, it is sturdy and seems like it should last a while.
" — riverseine Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in five colors). 22.
A super bitter-tasting clear polish that'll help you finally quit that nail-biting habit so your fingernails can grow long and strong. Time to treat yourself to a DIY manicure! It's totally harmless *and* shine-free, so it won't look like anything's on your nails. It's also great to help kids stop sucking on their thumbs.
Promising review: "I've always had trouble biting my nails. I read lots of reviews on different products and decided to go with this one. The product is the most disgusting thing that I have applied on my nails.
..but it worked wonders.
After 30 years, for the first time my nails have grown and I love it . I applied it every day for two straight weeks. I will occasionally apply it if I feel like I'm going to bite them.
Highly recommended!!!" — A_Emilio Get it from Amazon for $15.25 . 23.
A brown sugar-softening bear , because no one wants to heat up some oatmeal or prepare to bake cookies, only to discover the brown sugar is now rock-hard. I timed my morning routine to the nanosecond, and I don't have time to chip away sugar with a pick! Promising review: "This is the second brown sugar bear I've purchased because they work so well. They are simple to use and very effective.
Soak it in water and then place it in your brown sugar container. It will keep the sugar soft and easy to scoop. If you have brown sugar that has already hardened and is like a solid rock, you can place the bear in the container and by the next day you will be able to scoop it again.
It's simple, effective, and inexpensive. There is no reason not to get this little bear." — Hannah M.

A set of three scrubbing attachments you simply add to any power drill to make cleaning your tub, floor, appliances, or even the wheels of your car ridiculously fast and easy. Promising review: "I bought this brush a long time ago and it sat unused. Last week, I finally pulled it out to clean the floor of a very dirty fiberglass bathtub.
What a great little tool! A job that easily would have taken me a half hour with a regular brush and Comet, took about five minutes and with no smelly harsh chemicals. I am really kicking myself for not trying it months ago. Now, I'm planning to buy one for each of my kids for Christmas.
" — xxxxx111000 Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six types for different surfaces — from soft for automotive use to ultra stiff for industrial use). Drill Brush is a small business based in New York.
It was started in 2007 by a former electrician with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome who needed a way to clean without causing him harm. 25. A set of foam curling rods so an amazing head of twists and curls is only one sleep away.
Wrap your hair around the outside, twist the flexible rod into a loop, c-, or s-shape and then...
go to bed! Reviewers with everything from stick-straight to type 4C curls swear by these! Promising review: "I LOOOOVE these curlers! My hair is super long and it never does anything but awkwardly bend because it’s super poker straight! I have to have curlers in overnight to get any curl to stick and these are super comfortable to sleep in! My curls were amazing!! Finally an adorable spiral curl! What’s even better is the 2nd day they STILL looked beautiful! I cannot rant and rave enough about how Awesome these are!" — Amazon Customer Get a 42-pack from Amazon for $14.99 . 26.
Or a heatless silky curling rod headband you can wrap your hair around when you go to sleep at night to wake up with a bouncy blowout (without the actual blowout) — it can also help extend the life of your blowout too! Each set comes with a curling rod, two hair scrunchies, a claw hair clip, and two duckbill hair clips to set it in place. These work best if you roll them with damp hair! Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it.
And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning .
My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but that's nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron .

A pair of insulating blackout curtains to keep precious heat and air conditioning IN and annoying sunlight OUT — or even worse, the lights your neighbors refuse to turn off at 3 a.m. that are somehow brighter than the sun.
Promising review: "Best blackout curtains ever for the price. I've shopped all over and these are truly what they are advertised. I didn't think I would need blackouts, but I work nights and sleep till noon and these are absolutely perfect .
The color is a rich navy which are difficult to find in store. Trust me when I say, I went everywhere: Lowes, Home Depot & Home Goods, Tuesday morning, Ross, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Target. No place had them in this color for this price.
I love, love, love, Amazon Prime because I wasn't sure if these were going to work out, but they are above and beyond what I expected." — Josie Holdridge Get two panels from Amazon for $24.59+ (available in dozens of sizes and colors).
28. A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that'll deep clean your thermoses and on-the-go bottles — no scrubbing required. These'll get into all those hard-to-reach spaces and remove *all* the gunk.
Promising review: "My kids tend to take drinks to their rooms and leave them there for days (weeks) until I come across them. When it's something like a smoothie that has been sitting in the reusable bottles is just caked on and very difficult to get clean. I can't just pop them in the dishwasher.
One of these tablets with warm water gets them looking like new again. I can't get over how clean these bottles come. We have bottles and jugs of all different sizes since my kids play sports and we are away at tournaments frequently.
These are a convenient way to make sure all our containers are clean and ready to go. I would certainly recommend there if your family uses bottles frequently." — NewHopeBuyer Get a pack of 12 tablets from Amazon for $7.

Just tuck the corners of your flat or fitted sheet into the holes to prevent tangling and twisting aaaand (according to the manufacturer...
and backed up by reviewers) improve dry time by 75%!!!!!!!! Promising review : "Best purchase! You wouldn't think a small product like this could make a difference, but it makes a world of difference! I am amazed and so glad I found these. Gone are the days of wet clothes being wrapped up in sheets, or having to continuously check the dryer to untangle sheets. I will be purchasing more of these for myself and buying some as gifts!" — Becca Get it from Amazon for $19.

A nongreasy eye cream designed to deflate your under eye bags, hydrate your delicate skin, and brighten your under-eyes, thanks to a blend of aloe, rosehip seed oil, and vitamins C and E. Under eye bags and circles are natural and NBD, but helping reduce their appearance can make you ~feel~ more awake! Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old.
It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area.
I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar.
The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon.
This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry.

A bottle of all-natural, plant-based Puracy stain remover powered by enzymes to completely remove the most annoying stains (we're talking grass, blood, tomato, oil, sweat, and more!). Spray on and let sit overnight for the toughest spots. And it's totally biodegradable, too.
This stain remover is IT. I spilled Thai yellow curry ALL OVER a brand-new set of *light blue* Lou & Grey sweats, and this stuff got it out perfectly . I will NEVER not keep this stuff on hand.
Just apply, let it sit a while for toucher stains, then simply run as usual in the wash! Promising review: "This is absolutely the best stain remover I have ever used. I had shirts that looked like they had oil stains on them. I tried other stain removers without luck.
When I got Puracy, I pre-treated the stains, then put a little more in and washed. The stains were completely gone. I was able to wear the shirts again!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $12.

One side has smaller bumps for exfoliating away dead skin (you can use it with your favorite lip scrub , too!) and the other har larger circles to massage in your favorite lip oil or balm for hydration. Promising review: "I admit I was skeptical about this product, but my desperation made me click the BUY button. I just had a baby, and between all the milk I was pumping for the baby and caffeine drinking, my body was dried out and dehydrated.
My lips were dried, cracked, and even bleeding — very painful. Even my tried and true expensive as heck lip moisturizer I use couldn't help. Having this lip brush did the trick and made all the difference.
The exfoliation must have allowed my lip moisturizer to get better absorbed. I saw results in just a couple days. Now I have soft and supple lips again.
I tried using a toothbrush and I would not recommend it. This silicone lip brush feels so good and since the 'bristles' or bumps' are shallow. I just needed to use a little bit of my expensive lip moisturizer and it was so easy to clean the brush afterwards.
Where has this thing been all my life? I don't think I can live without it now." — Double-J Get it from Amazon for $7.99 .
34. And O'Keeffe's Lip Repair , a lip sleeping mask from the brand behind the cult-favorite Working Hand and Healthy Feet creams — and just like those borderline miraculous products, reviewers say this balm will heal and repair dry, cracking, chapped lips like no other product has. Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful.
I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed and my lips healed up faster than ever.
Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic and I won't go anywhere without it now.

35. A scratch-removing car restoration kit with a buffing pad and polish to make those door-scraping accidents a worry of the past. Your car will look brand-new, but you won't have to spend the big bucks.
It buffs away scraped-on paint and minor scratches — if you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, you'll need to actually go to your local body shop. Promising review: "Fast shipping and results! I turned too sharp in a parking ramp and my back door scrapped along a purple pillar in the ramp. This happened a good year ago, and I never got around to taking care of the ugliness.
My husband gave me so much crap, and I came across to this product, read the reviews, and ordered. It only took me about 20 minutes to get my 'after' results. It did, however take a lot of elbow grease.
Ladies, don’t waste your time and money at the dealership. This product saved me over $500! " — S.R.

A Maybelline metallic highlighter for adding a warm glow to your face with soft powder infused with reflective pigments you can apply sparingly or intensely. Promising review: "This is a great highlighter for its price! I've used Becca's Champagne Pop ($38) in the past, and NO ONE can tell the difference between the two. Its gives a natural looking glow- without the appearance of excess.
I use it with both a fan and regular brush. Perfect for both night and day (you'll need to vary the application depending on when you plan to use it, however). Arrived in perfect condition as well.

A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubby heads *preloaded* with cleaner so you can clean the whole bowl with one hand — and *one* product. Promising review: "You ever look at your toilet brush in disgust and resentment? How's a dirty used-up brush sitting in your throne room? You clean your bathroom but then you put that sucker down in its place and it's just like, mocking you. It's never truly immaculate.
Never knowing true cleanliness. Fear no more. Now you can shine the porcelain throne and not have to worry about a used up toilet brush mocking your clean sparkling bathroom.
Gone are the days of breathing in dirty poop particles from the reusable potty cleaning brush thingy. Clorox Toilet Wand is the answer to your prayers if you want an easy, deep cleaning, toss-away-after-you're-done type contraption for that porcelain throne of yours. Fast, cheap, and easy.

Or if it's already too late for some of those stains (looking at you, hard water!), a gentle but abrasive pumice stone FOR YOUR TOILET to remove the most permanent-seeming rust, lime, and hard water stains — without scratching the porcelain.
Promising review: "The backstory is as to be expected. I tried using the typical toilet brush to clean the ring buildup that had occurred. As with nearly everyone in existence, I had tried quite a few different name-brand toilet bowl cleaners and followed all the instructions.
However, they would only remove probably 60-70% of what was built up. The rest I truly tried to put my heart and soul into removing, but the brush just wasn't getting anywhere. LITERALLY within 15 *seconds*, I had already removed nearly every trace of the ring that was there.
It was almost eerie to put so little effort into having this take off the remnants that were left behind. It took all of probably two minutes to make sure I got all the spots off. Honestly, the results look like the ring never existed.
So, instead of pouring chemicals into your toilet bowl and breathing in traces of bleach (depending on toilet bowl cleaner), this thing can do worlds better at removing the ring entirely. It seems strange to say it, but this is one recommendation that will probably be given to more people than I want to admit. Just.
.. wow.

An Elizavecca collagen-infused ~protein treatment~ for an intense at-home mask that'll help your strands look and feel less damaged in just five minutes. It's basically a time machine for your hair, is what I'm saying. This is the same brand that makes the Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask so many people swear by.
Promising review: "I've been very careful when lightening my hair, but the straw feeling is sometimes inevitable when bleached. THIS PRODUCT IS MAGIC. I've always gone to my hairdresser when coloring so I've been fortunate to have my hair stay pretty nice, but this made a world of a difference.
My hair is like silk or soft butter. So incredibly soft and shiny that I feel like a walking hair commercial. My hair feels so moisturized and healthy, just as soft if not softer than my hair was prior to coloring (been highlighting for five years now).
Will be buying more before I run out; I will never stop using this product. FYI, my natural color is dark brown at the roots, and my hair looks healthier than a natural blonde IMO :) ADD TO YOUR CART; YOU WON'T REGRET. After you shampoo, load your hair up and do the rest of your shower heck have it be a long shower bc you deserve it, and rinse out with lukewarm water.
" — Meghan Davey Promising review: "I have 4C hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I had never seen anyone with my hair type use it.
Boy, was I wrong to doubt this product; it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful . I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." — Therese-Claire Get it from Amazon for $7.

They don't mask odors; they also absorb moisture to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria from forming. You can reuse the bags for up to two years — just pop 'em in the sun for an hour every so often to freshen up. Promising review: "I have a pair of black leather flats that stank so badly my husband would yell at me if I took them off anywhere near him.
But I love the shoes! So I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. Mini Moso was the answer. I honestly couldn’t believe it.
A few days after placing them in my prized shoes, I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer.
Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe that’s pushing things, but I’ve got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone.
So happy!" — Erin Get one pair from Amazon for $9.95 (also available for packs of two and three pairs for a discount). 41.
A Maybelline brow definer so you can finally stop ~brow-sing~ for better products. Fill in with the teardrop-shape pencil (for precise but natural "hairs") and blend out with the fluffy spoolie for a gorge finish. Promising review: "I have little to no eyebrows.
Penciling them in with something like Brow Wiz ($21) with the tiny tip is pointless and takes forever and I run out in a month or less. This makes it easy and my brows look BOMB!!! I will buy this over and over and over" — Duchess Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five colors).

f. Poreless Putty primer , which is infused with squalene to hydrate, smooth over skin for a seamless finish, and hold onto makeup for all-day staying power. You mayyyy have seen this all over TikTok, and the reviews back up the hype! Promising review: "I've tried so many, this is a keeper.
It’s extremely light. Has a mousse-like texture. Has a light fresh scent.
It really preps my skin for foundation. I have dry skin. This looks like skin but NOT flat or dry.
Makes foundation look like it should. 👍🏼 Best $5 spent." — J_Kelsea Promising review: "Normally my makeup goes on great, but then once it dries it's super crusty and shows my pores, but this made everything so smooth and my skin has never looked so healthy.
Even after I took my makeup off my skin felt moisturized which is a hard thing to do with my dry skin. I saw the hype all over social media about this primer and I never believed it, but finally decided to take the plunge and test it out and now I'll never go with out it." — Taylor Kessinger Get it from Amazon for $10 .
43. A ~Fasta Pasta~ cooker to make perfectly al dente pasta right in the microwave — no waiting for the pot to boil. Plus, the lid doubles as a strainer, so you really won't dirty any extra dishes! Promising review: "I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove.
Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! There are lines to indicate how much water to put in the cooker versus the amount of pasta you intend to cook. The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the cooker of water and works very well.
I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" — Kelsi Murphy Get it from Amazon for $16.99 . 44.
An odor-eliminating candle that'll truly knock out the worst pet stinks and leaving your home smelling ahhh-mazing. They're made with soy wax that burns for up to 70 hours, plus the scents are allergy friendly! Promising review: "These candles are fantastic! They smell great, and do a great job of eliminating any odors in your house, not only those from pets . They do work best if you burn them for 1-2 hours at a time, but will get rid of the smells of wet dog, fecal smells, urine odors, and I’ve even found them useful for cooking odors .
I’ve had 3 candles now (the first arrived shattered, and was replaced; the next three arrived in perfect condition). I highly recommend these candles. I purchased the Vanilla Creme Brûlée scent.
I often get headaches from powerful scents, but have never gotten one from these lovely candles!" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $21.59+ (available in dozens of scents). Check out a BuzzFeed Shopping editor's review for more info.
45. A jar of Aztec Secret's Healing Clay mask , which ~pulsates~ as it works its magic, banishing the toughest acne and deep cleaning your pores with calcium bentonite clay. Basically it's like an extracting facial, except you don't have to schedule a pesky appointment or spend the big bucks.
Mix with water or apple cider vinegar . If you have sensitive skin, leave it on for five minutes, and if you have normal skin, you can leave it on for up to 20! Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I’ve struggled with my skin for years now and I’ve tried to many products, but nothing has cleared my skin up like this mask. I used it with apple cider vinegar every day for the first seven days and the results have been incredible! People ask me every day what I’m doing differently because the results have been so noticeable.
I even posted about it on social media!" — Andrew Get it from Amazon for $14.95 . Check out more incredible before and after photos here! 46.
A pack of 10 Swedish dishcloths so you can cut down your paper towel usage but soak up any spills (they absorb up to 20 times their weight) and get scrubbing jobs done — without getting stinky. You can even toss 'em in the washing machine. I just ordered a set of these, and they're great for soaking up errant drips, cleaning messy countertops, and all around tackling any job you just.
..need to tackle.
Promising review: "I’ve been on the hunt for kitchen cleaning rags and tried MANY. This may seem pricey but it’s a great value because it’s so easy to clean at the sink (or sterile with boiling water), unlike cloths, you don’t need a large supply to always have a clean cloth. It’s sturdy like a sponge and absorbs TONS of water and it squeezes almost dry, then dries in no time, even when it’s pouring rain.
It’s flexible like a cloth when wet/damp and can clean any surface or tight spot. Great for wiping shower/bathroom fixtures dry. Because it’s so easy to clean with soap and water in the sink or boil to sterilize, there’s no need for a dozen to have a clean sponge/cloth all the time, or to do dirty rag laundry regularly.
Great product!!" — Gilbert Agaran Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight colors and three sizes). These are made by a small business, btw! 47.

It's filled with a cleansing + polishing solution to rid stones of clouding dirt and oil and ensure every facet shines. Just twist the bottom of the pen to dispense the fluid and brush on! Promising review: "Don't get me wrong — my wedding ring was gorgeous before.
It did sparkle and still made me smile every day. However..
.after using this..
*oh my goodness*! After one use of the Diamond Dazzle Stik..my ring is absolutely breathtaking! I knew my ring got dirty now and then, simply from sweating and being outside in the elements.
However, I never realized just how much dinge and schmutz marred my beautiful diamond until I cleaned it. It literally took my breath away with its fiery, dazzling brilliance! My wedding ring is something that always makes my heart beat a little faster: for its beauty, for what it represents..
.and now, my smile is even bigger and my heart skips a beat a little more as I gaze upon this amazing clarity. It is an amazing value with mind-blowing, beautiful results!" — liltreeclimber Get it from Amazon for $9.

And it has everything you need! Three restoration pads of various grits, a spray lubricant, lens clarifying compound, and a lens sealing wipe. Promising review: "Very happy with this purchase. My 20-year-old Honda Civic's headlights have seen better days.
The lenses were cloudy, yellowed and dim at night. I didn't even have to go through all the steps to see an almost total transformation of my headlights. No sanding necessary - just the first step and the lights looked almost new.
I've used headlight restoration solution in the past, and this was significantly easier and better. I have enough to do the process maybe three or four times. Great value, great results!" — AS Get it from Amazon for $11.
94+ (available in two styles). 49. A mini massage ball with firm bumps all over to help provide targeted relief to your aching muscles after hunching over your computer on the sofa or your latest at-home workout.
Ouch. Promising review: "I'm beyond happy. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, i was looking for something for my own plantar fasciatis in addition something valuable to offer clients.
WINNER! I went TO TOWN with this ball on my feet. Talk about satisfaction. I did rub my feet a little raw with the nubs, but that is 100% my doing.
I look forward to rolling my feet over the ball a few times a day. It's immensely helpful and is able to pinpoint + target hard to get areas." — Moon Valley Crab Get it from Amazon for $12.

Check out our first-hand review of Bar Keepers Friend original *and* the soft cleansing liquid for more deets and photographic ~evidence~. Promising review: "I have a tiled walk-in shower that was not tiled properly and holds water in one corner, resulting in hard water and lime build up.
I thought I had tried everything, with no success, and I was extremely discouraged. Until I read an article on BuzzFeed about life changing products..
I am SO glad I took a chance on this!! It ate through the gunk in my gross shower corner AND shined my claw foot tub like I have never seen it shine before! I just sprayed my shower down with water, put a small bit of the product on a rag, scrubbed for maybe a minute and watched the build up disappear before my eyes! It is some kind of brilliant magic that I will be using forever. Bar Keepers Friend is now My Best Friend." — Caitlin Get it from Amazon for $9.

Just apply the blend of essential oils (including lavender, spearmint, and peppermint) onto your temples, forehead, and the back of your neck — and POOF! Relief is here. Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins . Promising review: "Years ago a massage therapist I went to used a cream at my temples that helped greatly with headaches & nausea.
I have tried to find that scent for years. THIS IS IT!! I use it daily on my temples & the back of neck just below my hairline. It helps 100% with the nausea I suffer from meds I take.
Many of my headaches I can prevent from going to a migraine by applying again at start of headache. I take so many meds because of autoimmune disease's that I like not having to pop another pill for my headaches. I am the most skeptical person you will find when it comes to homeopathic or oils etc.

A Burt's Bees sunburn soother (with coconut oil and aloe) you need to stock up on *now*. You KNOW you don't reapply sunscreen as often as you should anyway. It's made with a blend of aloe and coconut oil for deeply moisturizing relief that *doesn't* feel greasy.
These photos above are four days apart, btw! Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application.
A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Even if it does peel later on, it’s minimal compared to what it would be and look like if I had not used this sun soother.

A Feed-N-Wax Wood conditioner that'll basically erase years of damage (looking at you, drink rings) and polish up beautifully, bringing out the natural color and sheen of your pieces — whether the wood is finished or unfinished — *and* add a layer of protection. All you have to do is apply with a cloth, wait 20 minutes (perfect time for a mid-cleaning snack!) and wipe off the excess. Promising review: "OMG! This is the most AMAZING product! We inherited some antique furniture from the '30s that had been in storage forever.
.. it was dry and dirty and not much to look at.
I used this product on it and the oak wood literally came alive showing the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. I have since used it on my oak kitchen cabinets and they look AMAZING! I will never use anything else other than this product on my wood surfaces! No greasy feel..
. fantastic smell!" — Tiffany Sadowski Get it from Amazon for $9.98 .
54. A deep-cleaning brush duo with a powerful scrubbing head for banishing grout discoloration and a wiping blade to reach the crevices, crannies, and nooks that never get cleaned. Promising review: "This set is the best friend of those who hate cleaning bathroom fixtures.
Instead of scrubbing and scraping, you can give a few comfortable whisks with one of these brushes and the job is done . The brushes are particularly good at quick-cleaning the back of the faucets where you normally can't see what you are doing. Also good at keeping the silver drain rings shiny.
Couldn't be happier with this set. Recommend it highly." — Rodger Get the set of two tools from Amazon for $7.
99+ (available in two styles). 55. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit , which includes cooktop cleaning solution, a scrubbing pad, and a scraper so you can absolutely remove every bit of baked- and caked-on food from any smooth range in minutes — no matter how long it's been there.
Promising review: "Never give up, like the Little Engine that could. I love my glass top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills.
This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product, as well every home remedy suggestion and it never removes the marks.
I came across this product on Amazon and after reading the reviews, thought, 'Why not?' Ah, all is good in the world after finding this. I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte, scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny.
I think I’ve invested 20+ labor hours trying to clean the stove top, and just gave up. With this product, it took me five minutes. If you have the same issue, get this stuff — it’s incredible.
5 stars+++" — Implied Queens Get the kit from Amazon for $11.48 . 56.
A pack of ethylene gas-absorbing produce bags to keep your fruits, veggies, and lettuce fresher for up to 10 TIMES longer. Strawberries are expensive, folks — now you can actually finish the whole container. Promising review: "I was somewhat skeptical as to whether or not these would work, but much to my delight, they work very well! The real test were the organic strawberries I bought.
They've been in the bag in the refrigerator for eight days now and are still edible. Usually when I buy strawberries, they get mushy and moldy within a day or two. The other veggies I've used these bags for are also doing better than they normally do without the bag.
More often than I'd like to admit, we buy a bunch of fruits and veggies and they go bad before we eat them. Thankfully, these bags are extending their edibility, so I'm not having to feed them to the chickens and donkeys. I'm very pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend them.

A drain snake with over 4,000 micro hooks and a slim design to shimmy down any drain (you don't even need to remove the cover) and snag all the hairs and goop that's clogging the system — in one quick pull. Real talk: after learning about this, I ordered two (of the previous version, without the handy grip to protect your fingers) and used it on my bathroom sink and shower. HOLY KAMOLE does it work.
So gross, so effective. Promising review: "If you need to get into the deep side of your bathroom sink without removing anything..
..THIS IS IT! Gross crap came out of my bathroom sink.
I have long curly hair and nothing was going to dissolve it. EVER. My sink is running free and I will again promise that I will never do anything with my hair over the sink! This puppy worked so good I am ignoring the fact that there is no way to remove the hair and grime it caught from my drain! Seriously no idea how I could possibly re-use.
BUT I will order another 5 times as it does what I need!" — Kelly KH Get it from Amazon for $9.99 . Me, looking at what came out of my bathroom sink after using the drain snake: Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
