1. A Catrice "Instant Awake" under-eye brightener that’s making waves for its ability to hide and brighten those pesky dark circles under your eyes. Your old concealers might start to feel a bit jealous of this one's color-adapting formula, lightweight feel, and seamless blending.
The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: " Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable.
My eyes looked brighter in a good way , and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it.
" — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 2. A pair of reusable Nippies silicone pasties because the last thing we want is you in the chilly conference room recreating Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction during that big presentation.
These little lifesavers last up to 12 hours (perfect for bra-free days), offer ultra-discreet coverage, and are totally waterproof. Promising review: "I’ve tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don’t move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily.
It’s magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I’ve got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol.
Only when I’m suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it’s minimal. They’re more pricey than others I’ve bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition.
Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras! " — Alison BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties too! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. Get a set from Amazon for $26.50 (available in five shades and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+).

Unlike a normal lint roller, the ChomChom doesn't contain sticky adhesive, which means it can be used over and over again. Promising review: "This thing does exactly what it says it does.
It has made my life so much better, and I feel like I’m actually making progress in picking up the cat hair instead of just moving it from one place to another. I love it. The door that opens to throw away the picked-up hair needs to be more stable.
I feel like it could break easily, so I’m very careful with it. All in all, this is a great product." — Drema Get it from Amazon for $23.
99+ (available in four colors). 4. A tube of Essence mascara (with over 253,000 5-star ratings!) capable of giving your lashes more volume and length while also being smudge-proof, so you don't have to worry about looking like a hot mess by the end of the day.
And the best part? Reviewers say this $5 mascara delivers the same (if not better) results as options from high-end brands like Too Faced and Benefit. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower says: "This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me.
I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. You can see my before and after photos above. This stuff is magic.
" Promising review: "I never write reviews but this mascara earned one. It makes my lashes look so long it looks like I have fake lashes on. This outdoes my Tarte, Too Faced, and Il Makiage.
You won’t regret it." — annegirl Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown).

Promising review: "Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house, however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car.
At the end of October my husband and I went to the ocean and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in two colors and a version with a light).

I actually saw this on TikTok` first. I HATE using the handheld face razors on my body, but this one did the job!!! Results are similar to using chemical hair removers without that stench. You'll have to go over the spot a few times but it's great.

I spray it right after washing my face in preparation for my nighttime routine and after workouts. Just be careful when using it with skin and makeup products as if it’s not completely dry it will deactivate their properties. I use a fan to dry it out and it doesn’t take long.
Also, the atomizer mists more than it spritzes so you get nice even coverage. I usually use 3–5 sprays to cover my face. Haven’t had any new breakouts since using it !" — Sophie Get it from Amazon for $17.
46 . 10. A nonaerosol I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo if every time you run your hands through your hair it looks like you dipped your fingers in a jar of Crisco.
Just sprinkle a bit onto your roots, massage it in, and voilà! Your hair will look *and* smell fresh, and the added volume will give you a confidence boost to tackle the day ahead. Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go.
You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume.
I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa Get two from Amazon for $18 (available in a white or dark brown version).

interesting. It's like watching a snake shed its skin for the next 5–7 days. But! Your feet will look SO much better with no more cracking, tough skin.
Promising review: "This foot peel is THE TRUTH and got my feet right and smooth as butter ! I’ve never done a foot peel in my life and so I had a lot of hard skin under my foot to get rid of. The shipping was super fast, I think I received it in like three days! I followed the instructions on the box, and decided to put on the foot peel on right before bed. You can feel the peel tingling and working while you have it on your feet so I felt relief.
It took about three days after I did the peel to see the results starting. Do not get discouraged if you see peeling only at the toes. That’s just the start of it.
..cause the next day I felt the mid of my foot arch bubble after my bath and a whole piece of skin was peeling.
T his peel did its job and some more! It has my feet feeling baby smooth! This peel gave me a feeling of being in a salon without the polish. It felt good to pamper myself. This is my go-to from now on, when I want a good smooth foot AFTER a pedicure (because a pumice stone can’t do what this peel can)!" — Shopinista Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.
99 (available in six scents). 13. A pore-clearing cleansing oil that visibly sucks out sebum from your pores and removes makeup residue and blackheads, leaving your skin looking clearer and feeling smoother.

BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising review: "BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR.
I’ve gone through 3-4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly a heaven send.
The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum and even now when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don’t wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing. You can see all the dirt that came out of my face recently in the photo [above, right].

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop and it broke after not too long.
This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container. " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors and four sizes).

I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out.

I saw an ad for this and was completely surprised it worked so well! I sprayed my couch and wiped it down and the smell is GONE! Worth every penny!" — Amy "I love my dogs, stink and all.
But I get embarrassed when non-dog owners come over, and my house smells like pond . Y'all know what I'm talking about. I keep a clean house, but I can't afford the water to wash their beds every week.
I decided to try Angry Orange, and let me tell you, it works. Just two sprays on each dog bed, and the odor was gone. Also, four hours later after the orange smell had dissipated, still no doggie smell.

It also helps control oil on your lids to make your makeup last all day. Promising review: "This eye primer is amazing!!! I have super oily eyelids and was getting to the point that I would rarely bother with eyeshadow because even with expensive primers it would be smudged and creased within an hour.

Now you won't have to gasp in horror every time you lift open the toilet lid. Promising review: "I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It’s embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day.
Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but it's light enough that I didn’t break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple of years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!

This handy tool flushes out all those little nuggets and gunk like hitting the jackpot in your very own earwax gold mine. Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients’ earwax impactions. Promising review: "This product is awesome and completely exceeded my expectations ! We have been struggling with excessive ear wax build-up with my 4-year-old son and we tried everything else and he would cry and scream if we did anything to his ear.
It took two tries but we got all the impacted earwax out . The first time I used water and apple cider vinegar and the second time just warm water. Both methods worked equally well.
I tried it myself and it feels a little weird but doesn't hurt. My son doesn't mind doing it and watched TV the whole time . Would definitely recommend this product for young children!" — Alix H.

A pack of earbud-cleaning putty , because all the caked-on earwax and sweat is actually what's making Taylor sound like she's singing underwater.

So glad I did!! I had the exact same issue with hearing people on my iPhone 11 and was SO frustrated. But this worked instantly. Stuffed a square of the putty into the very small receiver you hear out of and for the first time in months I can hear people clearly and loudly out of my iPhone without being on speakerphone .
I am so happy I don't have to get a new phone. I used them to clean my AirPods as well; it was good to see all the gunk come out despite not having an issue with sound for them. Definitely a great purchase.

A box of Mighty Patch pimple patches to shrink your problems overnight. OK, I'm not talking student loans or awkward first date type of problems, but they do help with pimples! These patches not only cover up your zits, but they also suck out all the gross gunk, leaving your skin looking fresh and clear. BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet).
You can read more at Cleveland Clinic ! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says, "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past, and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate .
I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after two or three hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up, and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." For more deets, check out her full Mighty Patch review !

It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine...
nothing worked long-term . He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck.

He is also very picky and never eats treats...
he eats these every time so that’s an added bonus!" — Darcie Nation Get a 50-count from Amazon for $19.97 . 31.
A vacuum-free space-saving compression bag if you’re tired of the struggle that comes with storing clothes every time the seasons change. These bags can compress even the bulkiest items into a neat little package. Just stick your clothes inside, zip it up, roll the bag, and watch the air get squished out, magically shrinking your clothes.
It’s great for packing a suitcase too — because, let’s face it, we all need emergency backup outfits! BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord is OBSESSED: "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. "Psst — just note that airlines will still enforce weight limits , so don't fly TOO close to the sun packing these up!!" Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.

You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation.
It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in.

When you develop the film, you'll have tangible photos that bring back all the fun and feel like a blast from the past! Each camera takes 27 pics! Promising reviews: "I like it. I got these to take pictures throughout my summer to have memories and it’s so much fun to use!!" — Jess "Such a throwback to my time as a child using film cameras to document everything! My husband thinks these are a waste (ha!) but I completely disagree — you don’t get the same quality with digital photos nowadays. I take two on all my trips for some fun photos that are a great surprise to develop after coming back home.
They make me happy :)" — Kat Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.40 (you can get a single one here ). The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
