1. An air-dry leave-in cream to banish frizz and transform your curls into silky, irresistible locks. The best part? You don't even need a blowdryer (or any heat-styling tools, for that matter)! This cream works its magic as your hair air dries.
This cream helps define your natural texture and works best on those with wavy, curly, or coily hair!! Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews for products, let alone add a photo of the results, but my gosh this product is AMAZING. The was just after my first use and I got immediate, satisfying results! Normally, I’d have to take a wand or curling iron to get this effect, but literally all I had to do with this product was take a shower and scrunch it into my hair, and just let it air dry. Not only did my natural waves come out, but my hair feels so soft and looks healthy.
This product is also very cost effective! Highly recommend!" — Carmina Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available as a two-pack). 2.
A waterless dry shampoo *foam* if you just DON'T have time (or energy) for an "everything" shower. This lets you cancel out the grease and add some volume back to your locks without having to worry about shaking out any pesky residue. Promising review: "I have very, very fine and fragile hair.
It’s wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair.
I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean.
My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it.
I usually can’t go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." — Amelia Tilton Get it from Amazon for $7.
19 . 3. A popular pack of Skin1004 pore tightening and lifting masks that has surprised reviewers with its immediate results.

To use, mix the powder and activator and apply it onto your face. FYI — you'll look like a character from The Walking Dead as the mask works its magic (it's called the "Zombie Pack" for a reason!).
But once you rinse it off after 10-15 minutes of letting it dry, you'll have some happy and radiant skin. Skin1004 is a Korean skincare brand that provides high-quality skincare items made of plant-based ingredients from Madagascar. Its signature ingredient is centella asiatica extract, a soothing and hydrating antioxidant that is known for its ability to help heal wounds and protect the skin.
Promising reviews: "Exceeded my expectations. I have dry skin and slightly larger pores, but I tried this mostly to help with texture. It does have a slight smell like everyone says, but it's honestly not unbearable and I don't even notice it after a couple of minutes.
It starts to dry pretty fast and gets really tight, which makes a couple of parts of my face itch a bit. However, once I wash it off my skin is fine and as someone with rosacea, I'm still genuinely surprised that it doesn't cause my face to get red AT ALL. It has actually improved my skin texture and the pores on my cheeks and nose genuinely look less prominent.
" — April "I was a little skeptical when I bought this. Tried it for the first time and was amazed by the results! My skin looks and feels amazing, I felt like I looked at least five years younger. Yes it doesn't smell the greatest, but it wasn't overly strong.
My skin is very sensitive and I avoid trying new products because a lot irritate my skin, this product didn't. I am so thrilled. " — Dayna Get it from Amazon for $23.

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 $3.73 .
6. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil made with soothing apple water to help moisturize and soften your lips without giving you that icky sticky finish. It's the perfect way to give your lips a lovely, natural-looking flush in a snap.
This lip oil is vegan, cruelty-free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. I have been using this lip oil for two months and don't go anywhere without it. It's sooo moisturizing and leaves such a lovely, subtle tint.
When my lips are feeling a little dry, I can apply this to add relieving moisture *and* some lively color to my lips. I also love that the brand has various options for different preferences! Promising review: "I love K-beauty and this is one of my favorite lip oils. It makes my lips softer and looking like cherry plump.
Plus, this shade acts as a lip tint, and I like how long it stays on my lips. As first, I thought that the bottle seems small but after applying 2–3 times/day for a month I still have a lot left to use. It moisturizes your lips and leaves a red tint on your lips, and it's lasted very long!" — Nhu Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in 13 colors, two sizes, and in sets).
7. A bottle of TikTok-famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence because it will soothe and rejuvenate your skin so effectively, it'll make you think the exact opposite of "ew" when you think of snail mucin. It can also give your skin a natural "I woke up like this" glow that has earned it over 70,000 5-star ratings! And tell Gary not to worry! The snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed! I've personally been using this for months now, and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving.
I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after seeing how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying, "gimme gimme gimme!!" Promising review: "I recently incorporated this essence into my skincare routine, and I am thrilled with the results! This product has truly exceeded my expectations and become a staple in my beauty regimen.
It has effectively reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving my skin looking smoother and more youthful. My skin feels nourished, revitalized, and has a healthy glow." — Samia Get it from Amazon for $13.
50 . 8. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement to help support immune function and combat seasonal allergies caused by those pollen-releasing plants that tend to be low to the ground where your dog loves to walk, lay, and play.
Promising review: "I never write reviews but this one deserves it. My dog was compulsively licking herself and losing her hair. I had tried other brands before Zesty Paws and none of them helped at all.
Took her to the vet and after several hundred dollars of testing they had no idea what it could be. They didn't feel allergies could be THAT bad in a dog but all bloodwork and testing came back perfect. They told me to just keep watching her and hoped as the seasons changed so would the problem if it actually was allergies.
Three seasons later and nothing had changed, it was actually getting worse. Finally tried these and WOW! She's been on these for a month and her hair is coming back and she isn't licking herself at all now. The first product to actually help! As others have said it does take a few weeks for a change to be noticeable, but when that change happens you won't be disappointed.
Would definitely recommend when all else has failed!! Will be keeping her on these long term." — hgb Get 90 chews from Amazon for $26.97 (available in three sizes and four flavors).
9. A The Saem hydrating eye stick that has a cooling formula to help de-puff the area around your eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles so no one at the office starts asking you why you look like a Tim Burton character. It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable.
And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration. Promising review: "Within ten minutes, my under-eye bags and discoloration were considerably better. I didn't think this would work but I just screamed at my boyfriend, "I'm screwed because I'm going to need to never run out of this stuff.
" Such a difference. I'm highly satisfied and upset I didn't purchase more to give to the ladies in my life as a holiday present. There's always next year though!" — Heather Get it from Amazon for $9.
90 (also available as a collagen stick). 10. A set of teeth-whitening pens — you'll see the difference almost immediately.
It's painless, minty fresh, and helps whiten your teeth after years of drinking coffee, tea, wine, and basically anything that isn't water. 🙃 Promising review: " I was looking for a new whitening product since I’ve use others in the past that didn’t work that well. I am so happy that I found this one! It really works and in a short amount of time as well.
Even just using it a week I notice a pretty big difference. My teeth had staining from age and coffee and I needed something immediately but didn’t want to spend a lot of money. The applicator is very very easy to use as well.
All you do is paint it on and let it do its magic! Definitely buy this you’ll love it!" — Courtney Mazzola Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95 (available in four sizes). 11.
A jar of internet-famous The Pink Stuff , because it takes the time-consuming factor away from achieving squeaky clean surfaces. The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch-free should be considered witchcraft. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your most stubborn stains don't stand a chance! Promising review: "I saw someone using this on TikTok and I was skeptical at first, but for $7 I thought I'd try it anyway.
I am SO glad I bought this! I had a hair dye stain on the bottom of my bathtub for about a year from dyeing my hair at home, and I tried EVERYTHING...
nail polish remover, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles foam spray, etc., with no avail.
I also had calcium stains on the drain of my bathtub and sink that were a pain to get out. This product erased all of these stains with ease and made it look like they were never there! This is your sign to buy this..
.I am so happy!" — Savannah Martin Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in two sizes).
12. A basic long-sleeve shirt , aka a super classic staple. It's clean-cut, versatile, and just what you need if it's too warm for a jacket but still too breezy out to wear short sleeves (because it's never to early to manifest fall).
Promising review: "I’m absolutely delighted with this long-sleeve top! The fit is impeccable , making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own. The material is soft and offers just the right amount of stretch . It’s become a staple piece in my wardrobe because of its versatility — it pairs beautifully with high-waisted jeans, skirts, and even office wear for a touch of modernity.
After several washes, it maintains its shape and vibrant color . It’s rare to find such a quality top at this price point. This top has exceeded my expectations and has been a fantastic addition to my collection.

Promising review: "I had ordered a single bottle of this cuticle oil for myself.
When my oldest daughter came over, she tried it and loved the scent and the blooms inside, so I decided to order her this three-pack. First, the scent, oh my, these smell sooooo good! The oil is not too oily and absorbs quickly into your nails and cuticles. It really helps to keep your cuticles soft.
This product is great to keep you from picking at your cuticles. I will definitely order this again." — Jan Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 32 scents).
14. A K-beauty Elizabeth Mott eye primer because it'll make the eyeshadow look you created 10 hours ago look like it's only been 10 minutes.

Promising review: "So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available.
From high end to low...
they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. Using this primer, shadow lasts a full eight hours or more.
I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I was lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" — Melissa Mae Get it from Amazon for $13.

Elizabeth Mott is a Korean-American, woman-owned biz! Promising reviews: "I wore this primer under my foundation ( Nars and Maybelline Fit Me ) along with setting spray ( Nyx ) in this photo [above right].
I had been dunked in the pool two times and went down a giant slide that caused you to go under water three times. This was the result of my makeup ! Love this product. A little goes a long way!" — Ryan Brooks "I have extremely sensitive, acne prone skin.
I realized the makeup I was previously using was breaking me out so I threw it away and purchased this primer with a powder foundation from another brand. THIS PRIMER THOUGH!! I hated the powder foundation I purchased and got rid of that too, but this stays. I use this as my foundation now! It comes out green but blends into your face quickly.
It covers my redness and uneven skin tone, but my freckles can still be seen. It makes my face look almost flawless, hydrated, and clear. This blew me away.
I've already been suggesting it to friends and I will continue to buy this over and over again." — Lucy Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four formulas and in a bundle).
16. A deeply nourishing Hanalei lip treatment enriched with Hawaiian kukui nut oil — rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, C, and E — and shea butter to help relieve dryness and restore hydration. It's also got antioxidant-rich agave nectar and grape seed oil to help soothe and protect your lips.
Say aloha to kissers so soft and silky that it made this reviewer feel like they stumbled upon "literal lip magic." Promising review: "I feel like I stumbled upon literal lip magic. Part of me wants to keep it to myself so it never gets sold out.
It has a soft vanilla fragrance and is so incredibly moisturizing. It feels feather-light on the lips and has a beautifully subtle gloss (none of that “glitter” or “shimmer,” just a lovely shine). Not only does it feel nourishing my lips, but it’s also a protective layer against the elements (winter, arid climate, etc).
I think it’s waterproof? And it doesn’t melt in my car! Please never let it go away! It’s perfect." — S. Kelly Get it from Amazon for $17.
40 (available in six formulas). 17. A pack of all-natural bottle cleaning tablets because you've been taking that same mug to work for a couple of weeks now and it could probably use a little refresh.
If nothing else has quite done the trick, this solution checks off every box. The best part? It takes almost no effort on your part! Simply fill your bottle with warm water, drop in a tablet, let it fizz for 15-30 minutes, rinse, and kiss those coffee stains goodbye. These are biodegradable and odor-free.
Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside.
I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product.
No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice.
Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.
99 (available in various quantities). 18. A mini belt bag that'll surprise you with just how roomy it is.

It is the perfect size to fit everything I need and was super comfortable .
Highly recommend." — Jessie Anela "I bought this fanny pack to take on our trip to San Francisco and it worked out better than I thought it would! We hiked through Muir Woods and I loved that my hands were free from holding a purse! Then we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, went to Chinatown, the wharf, etc. and again it was great not having to hold anything.
This is by far the best bag I've ever traveled with. It is almost the same exact size a (name brand) bag but a lot less. Best purchase for the vacation :)" — Pat Get it from Amazon for $12.

A liquid tartar remover if you're done wrestling with your four legged bestie when trying to brush their teeth. With just a capful of this glorious plaque-fighting liquid in their water bowl or fountain, your pet's teeth and gums will stay clean. Plus, it helps eliminate that stinky breath! Promising review: "I have four dogs.
My biggest dog has the worst bad breath. I've tried treats and other things but nothing else has worked. Looking at alternatives, I came across dog mouthwash.
The idea of drinking mouthwash is weird, but be my guest to teach your dog to swish and spit out. I've also bought Nylabone toys for my dogs and know they make great products. I've been using this mouth wash for all four of the dogs, and I have to say there has been quite an improvement in their breath and tarter buildup on their teeth .
I put two capfuls in about 32 ounces of water and the dogs gulp it down; they seem to enjoy the taste as well . So about two months in, I have a little less than a half bottle to go and the dogs' breath is much better, especially my big dog ." — DH Get it from Amazon for $8.
86+ (available in five sizes, two formulas, and three styles). 21. A container of Aquaphor multipurpose healing ointment , which is the holy grail here to soothe, protect, and restore smooth skin.

Promising reviews: "I purchased Aquaphor to help with moisturizing my dry hands due to frequent washing. This product exceeded my expectations since it not only moisturized my hands but promoted healing.
I am very satisfied with this product." — john koch "At first I wasn't sure I'd like this product because it is so greasy; I even heard it referred to as 'the new Vaseline.' My doctor recommended it for my cracking cuticles and fingers.
I discovered that I was using too much, my mistake; I was applying it like regular hand lotion/cream. Once I learned a little goes a long way, I love it!! I keep the jar beside my bed and rub a small dab on my hands before turning off the light so it has all night to soak in. My hands are now crack-free and soft even though it is the middle of winter with extremely frigid weather.
" — Mooselady Get it from Amazon for $18.37 . 22.

My eyelashes grew extremely long, and I am really satisfied with the results. I even get compliments from people! I’ve bought other eyelash serums in the past, and it was a total scam.
I’ve actually got a few of my friends and family members to buy this product and I’ve heard only good things from them. So I totally recommend!" — VR Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles).

This is the *perfect* addition to your next self-care day. Promising review: "I don’t remember the last time I wrote a positive review on a product!

A Puracy spray that shocked one reviewer with how well it removed greasy stains. It uses six powerful plant-based enzymes to take care of the latest coffee stain you got as you rushed to work (but still had time for coffee, because there's always time for that). Based in Austin, Texas, Puracy was started by two best friends with the aim of making plant-based cleaning products that are gentle enough to use around children.
Promising review: "I can't speak highly enough about this product. It is hands down the best stain remover I have ever used . And it's natural! I've used it to lift stains of all sorts, it gets grease out with no troubles at all.
I've even used it to lift stains that have stayed stuck in my clothes for months and maybe even years . I originally bought it for my mom who has a laundry obsession, but ended up purchasing it for myself because it is an essential item for having on hand in the laundry room. I will continue to purchase this product whenever I run out and would recommend it to anyone.

Its ergonomic design keeps your head from nodding back and forth to help avoid aches and strains. Your family activity-packed trip will probably already deprive you of sleep — might as well get as much as you can on the way there! Unlike the regular U-shaped pillows, Trtl Pillows are machine-washable and fast-drying.
Check it out on TikTok . Promising review: "Used it for a 14-hour flight to Japan last week, and it helped tremendously. This was the first time I was able to sleep on the plane so this helped tremendously.
Definitely a must-have for travel. It is very light so I was able to easily pack it in my under-the-seat wheeled trolley. I want to emphasize how much the light warmth of the fleece (and I don't like being hot) was just right to help me nod off to sleep.
Since this is primarily for sitting upright in the seat or someone in the middle or the aisle seat, this was ideal for me. I just got back yesterday. Again I used it — this time for a 12-hour flight.
" — Ambience Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in five colors). 26.

Fit was true to size. Going to get another color since I love them so much!" — Nidhi Patel Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes 6–10, in two heel heights, and eight colors, as well as with thinner straps).

Don't tell anyone, but I haven't previously cleaned my dishwasher since we bought it about four years ago. It had a decent amount of funk on it and it started to smell funny. That's why I bought these tablets.
I used one — put it in the detergent compartment and turned on the dishwasher on normal setting. After the cycle was done, all the sediment from a few years of use was gone and any unpleasant odor was nonexistent. Zero effort required, easy to use, and worth trying!

I packed 10 days of outfits in two medium pouches. I took it all out and packed my clothes in my suitcase alone. The cubes are so much better.
I used the two medium and my boyfriend used the large and small. We got 10 days of clothes each — in one carry-on suitcase. They even allowed for enough room to put two pairs of Sandler and a pair of slides.
I will never travel without these cubes again. " — Amazon Customer Get a set of six from Amazon for $38.98+ (also available in sets of two and four and in 21 colors).

My cats go wild as soon as I pull this out. Nothing else gets them up and moving like this toy now that they’re getting older. Seems silly that they love a simple wire with a cardboard tip, but there’s something about it that’s irresistible.
Buy it. Your cats will love it." — Amazon customer Get it from Amazon for $3.
99 . 33. A carpet cleaner so you can stop looking the other way every time you pass by that one carpet stain (you know the one).
Just give that stain a spritz and this will lift it right off — no rinsing or vacuuming required! Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this.
I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady that goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets.

Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products designed for pet owners who want keep their homes stain- and odor-free. Promising review: " A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there.
Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it's concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount.
Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!" — Marie J. Get it from Amazon for $18.

This puts no pressure on your eyes while still allowing you to freely blink, so that you can get some beauty sleep before you land! Promising reviews : " The BEST BEST BEST and most comfortable sleep mask I’ve found. Night shifter for years, and have tried everything. Many other sleep masks have some qualities but not all.

Very impressed and pleasantly surprised." — Amazon Customer "I loved it so much, I bought a second for my boyfriend! We both travel so much that sometimes you end up in a hotel room where the blinds still let in light, and this blocks it out without compressing your eyelids where it feels like you’re being forced to keep them shut.
I love that the compression contours around your eye so that you can open your eyes without feeling like you’re restricted. I love it so much I sleep with it at home now and I never travel without it! " — Jordann Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors).

And they come in wide too, which makes the fit perfect!!!" — Library "I love these! They are the perfect dad sneakers and super in style! I love the blue color as well.

I saw it and was like 'ehh idk, I like it, but where would I wear it?'. Then I saw it on TikTok, and I was like, 'Okay maybe I need it'.
THEN I saw a girl with my same shape wearing it and styling, and I HAD TO GET IT! This dress is so comfy. I love it! I haven’t worn it out just yet, but I recommend tying the side as it is pretty long. Go ahead and buy this dress, baby.
" — Ember Get it from Nordstrom for $56+ (originally $80; available in sizes XXS–4X and in 10 colors). 38. A Wobble Wag Giggle ball that's so entertaining, your pup just might start paying more attention to this lil' toy than he does to you.
With an internal noisemaker and six pockets to engage your pet's natural curiosity, the only thing that'll get your pup to stop rolling around and wrestling with it is a water break. Promising review: "WE FOUND IT! A play ball that can stand up to our 14-week-old part black Lab, part shark. We have tried several toys that would stand up to the extremely sharp teeth.
Nothing has worked for over 15 minutes of intensive play time. We heard about this ball from a fellow puppy owner and ordered immediately. Added bonus: She is exhausted after chasing this thing around, so naptime comes quickly.

A lightweight anti-theft backpack because it's waterproof and has a wet bag, shoe compartment, laptop compartment, luggage strap, and a built-in charging port. It's also spacious while still being able to fit under an airplane seat. So if you suddenly start to feel chilly after all that airport chaos is over, you can just reach down and grab your jacket.
Promising review: " I have sent the link for this bag to so many loved ones because it has changed the way I’ve traveled . I have always been the over packers having to pay excess weight fees on my luggage. Since using this bag I have been able to cut down to a carry-on and personal item most trips.
Come the end of this year, my husband and I will have been on eight trips. This bag has been with us for half of them. I use it as my personal item and easily pack shoes, a large cosmetic bag, hair tools, clothes, a steamer, snacks, chargers, and other small items — it holds so much.
The cream color is very stylish and it is easy to clean. I cannot explain enough how much I love it. I’ll be ordering my husband one in another color for our longer trips.

And a handy RFID-blocking travel wallet , which can store so many of your usual travel and wallet contents, you'll think Hermione cast an undetectable extension charm on it. It can store your passport, boarding pass, three credit cards, a slim card, your ID, a ticket, your phone, your coins, a key, a pen, and..
.I think that's it? This is great for keeping everything together, especially for a multi-destination trip! Check it out in this TikTok . Promising reviews: "I needed a new travel wallet, and this holds everything I need all in one place, and it still closes nicely and stays flat! I can fit my boarding pass, passport, ID, credit cards, money, checked baggage tickets, receipts, and more in it, yet it doesn’t bulk up or look like an overstuffed mess.
It's just amazing. The description says it only holds US money, but I just used the boarding pass flap to hold all my Japanese Yen, which are larger. I didn’t use the zippered pocket for coins as I much prefer a separate coin purse for that sort of thing.
I definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot!" — Anthony Luu "I purchased this wallet for my recent trip to Orlando to keep my cash, credit cards, ID, boarding pass, itinerary, etc. It held so many items I was shocked! I saved so much space in my purse by using this wallet. I will never travel without it! " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.
99+ (available in 34 colors). 41. A one-piece swimsuit because it blends support and style ~flawlessly~ thanks to its high neck and deep plunge neckline, which exudes a vintage, Old Hollywood glam look.
Plus, the mesh panel is a perfectly subtle way to show off those assets! Promising review: " My bust is supported and contained nicely. The fit on the legs is excellent and my butt is covered without looking like a grandma suit. I feel very comfortable in this suit.
I’m very impressed! The quality isn’t like that of some of my more expensive suits, but for the price it is worth every penny. I would recommend and order again in another color." — Lyd Get it from Amazon for $19.
99+ (available in sizes XXS–26 Plus and 32 colors). 42. A pair of seamless scrunch leggings that'll hug your lower body *just* right.
😍 These come with a high waistband for ultimate comfort and material that gives you the perfect combination of softness and stretchiness. Whether you use them to work out or lounge around, they're nice and breathable so that you never feel suffocated in the heat of the day! Promising review: " I found these through TikTok and bought a pair ASAP! The Alphalete ones are around $70 and the reviews for these on TikTok were amazing so I was quick to buy a pair! They are pretty similar to the Alphalete ones as well, but seem a bit thicker which I prefer and have a tiny bit bigger scrunch. They are super stretchy too so if you’re between sizes, go for the smaller size! They also came a lot faster than expected, so now I’m back to buy more colors and am super excited!" — Nichole Get them from Amazon for $19.
99+ (available in sizes XS—XL and in dozens of colors and multipacks). 43. A Snuggle Puppy so that you no longer feel so helpless when your furry bestie gets a little anxious or lonely.
This has a realistic heartbeat that comforts them when they curl up next to it. It's especially helpful for pups who are crate training, have separation anxiety, or get nervous traveling (or those in new homes). ❤️ BuzzFeed Shopping editor Samantha Wieder gave the Snuggle Puppy to her new pup, and it made a world of a difference: "Back in 2020, my family made a wonderful decision to get an adorable Havanese puppy named Bailey.
He slept like an absolute angel the first night we brought him home so when he kept us up for six. whole. hours the night after and wouldn't stop crying the next day, we knew we needed to try something fast.
A family friend recommended the Snuggle Puppy. Within a half hour of putting the little heart ticker into the stuffed toy and putting it in Bailey's crate, he was quiet and fast asleep while cuddling up to his new toy. "Two years later, the Snuggle Puppy is still Bailey's favorite toy — we just don't keep the heart ticker in there anymore.
He has an entire crate of toys he BARELY touches solely because he loves the Snuggle Puppy so much. It is on the pricey side for a dog toy and he's currently on his fourth Snuggle Puppy because he's chewed off the ears and noses on the other ones, but seeing how attached he is to the puppy and how happy it makes him, it's 100% worth it. Truly cannot recommend this enough.

A Wet & Forget shower cleaner to rid your shower of soap scum, grime, and body oils without all the laborious scrubbing. It also removes stains from non-porous surfaces and leaves behind a soft, delightful vanilla scent. Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean.
After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower.
This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house.
This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in four sizes and two scents). 45.
Plus, a shower door cleaner that'll have you singing 🎶I can see clearly now🎶 as you watch it work its magic so that you can finally be rid of the soap scum and hard water stains you thought you were stuck with. Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower.
I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth it was not very effective. The second time I used a non abrasive sponge for glass, it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." — EJP Get it from Amazon for $10.
