3. A Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective, btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy.
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS

Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I'm just sad I didn't find this product sooner!" — TheBjamin

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This eye cream is amazing! I've been using it for a few weeks, and I'm already seeing a difference. The cream is lightweight and smooth, not greasy at all. It absorbs quickly into the skin, so I don't have to wait long before applying makeup or going to bed. It really helps with puffiness and dark circles. My under-eye area looks more refreshed, and the bags under my eyes have definitely reduced. It also feels really hydrating, which is a bonus. I love this eye cream! It works well for puffiness and bags and leaves my under-eyes looking brighter and smoother. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for an affordable, effective solution!" — J Ogilbee

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review:"The older I get, the drier my skin seems to get. I read about this brand from a blog I follow. So, I checked the reviews and decided to try it. To say that I am blown away would be an understatement! I simply cannot express how pleased I am after literally just three uses. Normally, my skin is so dry that nothing seems to help, but this. THIS! It makes my skin feel great, and it even looks great! It's not greasy, but it moisturizes. The texture feels like whipped velvet!! It is so luxurious and feels amazing on my skin. My skin feels hydrated and normal. I feel like shouting from the rooftops how amazing this stuff is! The eye cream is just as good, and a little goes a very long way. I am sold! This product is superior!!" — Shanon L. Edwards
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).
12. And a retinol body lotion — the magic of retinol is not just for your face! This retinol in the creamy formula helps promote skin cell turnover, while the ferulic acid firms skin for a tighter appearance. Reviewers also note that this works wonders on rough, bumpy skin on their upper arms and legs after consistent use.
Promising review:"I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn't itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It's not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It's not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." — TickTokAlice
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two-pack).
13. And! The best-selling Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Cream that not only smells like caramel and pistachio deliciousness (pair it with the matching body mist to make the fragrance last even longer) but also can help tighten and firm the skin with repeated use thanks to the inclusion of caffeine-rich guarana extract.

Promising review: "I am 60, and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, nonsticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption, and circulation." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and a refill tub).
14. A rapid mac 'n' cheese cooker, which will make you turn your back on your stovetop for good. Instead of spending forever waiting for water to boil, you can just pop this in the microwave and discover the true definition of easy mac.

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
15. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator — it eliminates the ~stank~ from everything from dirty carpets to nasty trash cans. It also couldn't be easier to use: just spray it on and let it break down those odors while leaving behind a delicious citrusy scent.
Promising review:"This product is a miracle worker. My toddler had been having accidents on the sofa. I had been scrubbing tirelessly almost every week to get the urine smell out. I tried the baking soda, water, etc., but nothing worked! I was self-conscious about family visiting. Until I came across this product. When I tell you the URINE SMELL IS GONE, it's gone! This product is a must-have. Buy now." — Amazonian
Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and multipacks).

www.amazon.com
Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action!
Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.33+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs).
17. John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam for anyone who wants to define their curls without spending a ton of extra time. Just scrunch this through wet hair and then air-dry your way to perfectly wavy strands.
Reviewers with straighter hair types say the foam helps add voluminous waves to their hair, while those with thicker, wavier hair types say this helps add a bit more definition and shine.
Promising review: " I've tried many products out there to tame and hold my natural waves (learning to "embrace your natural locks"), and they've always let me down by either leaving me with poofy hair, stiff hair, or sticky hair. This product holds and defines natural waves without any of that. And I love that you use it to let your hair air dry as I hate blow drying - that was a big selling point! I've tried both by applying just this product on wet hair as well as first applying a smoothing serum followed by this product, and while the outcome was a little better with the two steps, using just alone gave great results as well. Definitely making this my go-to from now on!" — Gus
Get it from Amazon for $9.39.
18. A 3-in-1 gap cleaning brush — it'll clean all the nooks, crannies, and crevices on your water bottle that you didn't even know were there. Use the U-shaped silicone brush to quickly scrub around the lip of the cup, then flip over to the bristle brush to clean the lid (or pop up the hook brush to really get into those tough-to-reach grooves).
Promising review: "I have a number of Yeti and other lidded mugs, cups, and glasses I use at the office and clean out in the communal break room sink. I could see a buildup that I just couldn't get to in the lids, and it was grossing me out! This little tool does the trick! It gets in between the rubber ridges in the rings, all around the lip of the cups and lids, and cleans everything from milk residue to lipstick smudges. I have been using it five days a week for several weeks now, and no signs of wear on the tool. Cleans up great, dries well, does the job." — Alfie
Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in six colors and multipacks).
19. A pair of handheld scrapers that will make your cast iron pans look as good as the day you bought them. It's gentle enough to use on nonstick surfaces, and unlike a sponge, this won't trap a bunch of food particles that are hard to rinse out. Now you can spend less time cleaning and more time whipping up culinary masterpieces.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Necessary tool to clean your cast iron pots and pans. Perfectly contoured to the rounded corners used by Lodge in their pans so you'll get any food stuck to your pan off easily. The plastic is sturdy and malleable but not so much that it will deform. Been using them for a couple months now, and I haven't had them break. And since I still can't get a properly seasoned coating on my pans, I have a lot of food that sticks (my fault), but these scrapers get pretty much everything off easily." — JGtz
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.96.
20. A Hanalei overnight lip treatment packed with Hawaiian kukui nut oil, agave, and grapeseed oils to hydrate and smooth away the dead skin that makes your lips look extra crusty. It's a must-have for anyone whose lips stay chapped during the winter months. Plus, imagine how smoothly your fave lipstick will apply after using this!
Promising review: "This product is so nourishing and works wonders when your lips are super dry or chapped. My lips get extremely dry and cracked even when I use ChapStick several times a day. It is thicker than a ChapStick but not heavy to the point of discomfort. It sits on your lips longer and has more time to soak in. It feels amazing on your lips. It's also a cute thing to wear on its own if you don't feel like wearing lipstick. It's also nice to have different shade options, even though the clear one is my favorite. I also love that the scent is very minimal. It has a VERY slight vanilla smell that you barely notice once applied. I have repurchased this product several times and will continue to do so!!" — Julia
Hanalei is a small business!
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two sizes and five colors).
21. A bottle of earwax removal drops that use fizzy microfoam action to break down all the stubborn wax that was clogging up your ears for all of 2024. Just apply five to 10 drops to your ear, keep your head tilted for several minutes to let the carbamide peroxide loosen your hardened ear wax, then flush away any remaining wax with warm water in a bulb or syringe.
However, It's always a good idea to chat with your ENT before using any ear-cleaning products!
Promising review:"I started applying the drops twice daily with a warm water bulb flush once a day. On the first day, only a little bit of wax came out, but the ear wax buildup was dissolving. The second day, after I applied the drops, my right ear was muffled the entire day, but when I did the ear bulb flush, a ton of wax came out, and my hearing was restored. I continued the treatment for both ears, and by the third day, my left ear was cleared of most of the ear wax as well. By the fourth day, all of the built-up ear wax was cleared out, and my ears were no longer itchy or muffled. These drops are amazing and worked way better than I expected as I thought it'd help get rid of some wax, but that I would need to go to the doctor to get the rest out. Trust the process and continue using the solution for the recommended four days; it works!" — RnG
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a pack of two).
22. A jar of all-in-one decor paint you can use on everything from kitchen cabinets to furniture upholstery. If there's a surface in your home that needs painting, this has got you covered. It dries in about 30 minutes and leaves behind a chalky matte finish that's the definition of country-chic.
Promising review: " I've bought a total of four of these things. I went on a kick of painting all of my generic black/dark brown Ikea furniture. I used this on both the shiny/smooth furniture and wood furniture, and it worked well on both of them. It definitely worked better on the wood furniture, though. The paint was unexpectedly very easy to use and the color came out a LOT prettier than expected! It was easy to clean off my hands and brushes and the paint came right off my clothes in the wash as well. Overall, I'm very very pleased with this paint and will purchase more if I need any crafty paint in the future." — Anna
Country Chic Paint is a family-owned small business that specializes in all-in-one paint.
Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 55 colors).
23. A hydrating Cosrx repairing essence with 96% snail secretion filtrate, which provides a gentle dose of moisture that won't overwhelm skincare newbies. Reviewers mention seeing a reduction in dark spots and acne. with consistent use, and even people with oily skin find that it absorbs quickly and doesn't clog their pores. Who knew snails had the secret to glassy, glowy skin this whole time?!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
New to essences? Try applying this after cleansing but before your moisturizer. Applying it to clean skin and under you moisturizer will help lock in all that snail mucin goodness!
Promising review:"Who knew snail slime was a thing? So, months ago, I was at the dermatologist getting microneedling on my forehead for a spot that lost collagen. My menopausal self had been in a two-year whirlwind of on/off breakouts thanks to hormones acting a fool. She suggested retinol, but my skin screamed louder [with every] one I tried, no matter how easy-going I went. Then, she gave me a sample of snail mucin and said 'try this.' Never have I ever had better skin. It's the perfect thickness, like a serum really, super moisturizing, and the appearance of old spots, scars, tone, and texture is dramatically improved. Months later, not a single breakout. Keeping it simple with a cleanser, snail goop, moisturizer during the day, and barrier cream at night. This stuff is perfect for uber-sensitive skin." — Mocha Bear
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
24. A portable vacuum designed just for your car, because it's time to stop thinking to yourself, "I'll sweep these crumbs out eventually..." and actually get to cleaning. This plugs directly into your 12V outlet and comes with three attachments so you can clean everything from the floor mats to the scary cracks in between the seats.
www.amazon.com
The kit includes three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), a carry bag, a filter brush, and a spare HEPA filter.
Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord).
25. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder that's so easy to use you'll wonder how you ever dealt with those messy spray cans. This one has a powder-puff applicator so you can apply it directly to roots (you know, the source of all your oily troubles), and it also adds some extra volume as you brush it through. Reviewers say it instantly absorbs oil and doesn't leave a white residue behind.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the dry shampoo in action.
Promising review: "Will be buying again!! This is a fantastic product. I have incredibly thin hair that gets very oily very easily. This is the first product that I've tried that actually works! I am so very happy!" — Katie_0_Baker
Get it from Amazon for $12.59 (available in brown, dark brown, blonde, and in multipacks and bundles).

Promising reviews: "This product is awesome. Covers the grays/roots. Stays on all day. Also, if you have thin hair, it will fill in the spots nicely. Comes with a sponge that you unscrew off the bottom. This will last a very long time. This is much easier to use than the spray that doesn't always get the right spots and tends to get on your clothes. A good selection of colors. Great price. Will re-order when the time comes." — Amazon Customer
"LOVE! so easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly ." — Catie B.

Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried multiple spray cleaners and techniques but couldn't get the smell out. I was convinced I'd need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I'd have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I'm excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" — Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (also available in a Pet Deluxe verion and a cordless version).
28. An Anua pore-clearing cleansing oil that's specifically designed to help regulate your sebum production and break down blackheads, making it a great option for all my fellow oily-skinned peeps. It also helps break down makeup, so you can finally stop wasting money on makeup-removing wipes!
This is best used as part of a double cleansing routine, so be sure to follow it up with a water-based facial cleanser, like Anua's water-based gentle foaming cleanser.
Promising review:"My skin is *super* sensitive, but as I've aged (44 years), I feel like my pores have become more visible. I hadn't used an oil cleanser before and wasn't 100% sure how it should all work. The Anua oil cleanser works how we all once hoped Biore pore strips would work back in the day but without any pain or irritation. My skin is combination skin, so I have to be really careful about not drying out the dry spots (and getting eczema) and not over-hydrating the oily spots (and getting a breakout). I rub the oil on my face as the first part of my cleansing routine; I massage it in for ~60 seconds and then put a small amount of water on my fingers and begin rubbing that on my face. The water starts the emulsification process and helps to clean out everything the oil has bonded to/mixed with. Then, I just rinse it clean and use a gentle cleanser afterward. I haven't had any irritation, redness, or fallout from adding this product to my skincare routine. I love it. I am almost through my first bottle and if I go a few days without using the cleanser, my pores become more visible/dirty again. I will definitely keep purchasing the Anua oil cleanser." — Tassa
Get it from Amazon for $17.69.
29. And their 10% niacinamide serum — it'll help even your skin tone thanks to the blend of 4% tranexamic acid and 2% arbutin. Your skin will be left with a plump and dewy glow — and will also be grateful for the fragrance-free and non-sticky formula.
www.amazon.com
It's fragrance-free and cruelty-free!
Promising review: "Honestly just tried this due to high demand and to find a cheaper niacinamide serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops but it didn't work as effectively as this. I was incredibly surprised by how this serum calms my skin, and my dark spots have been lightening and are almost gone. I also haven't broken out. I use this twice a day, and it works well under makeup. It'll give you glowy skin if you're one of those who loves dewy look. I am currently using this together with Anua cleansing foam and it's incredible! Definitely subscribing to this as my regular serum!" — Reynalyn Canillo
Get it from Amazon for $22.
30. A hairbrush cleaning tool because, as Xzibit might say, I heard you like brushes, so here's a brush to clean your brush. Yes, you should be giving your hairbrush a routine cleaning to remove hair, built-up oils, and grime — and this cleaning device makes it so easy to get into all the nooks and crannies.
www.amazon.com
The reviewer above got such amazing results by using this tool along with soaking their brush in a Dawn-and-diluted-vinegar solution!
Promising review:"When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why; it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." — HeartsofHavoc
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
31. A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation 9,000+ reviewers love for getting full coverage without the heavy, cakey feeling. It's designed to provide a radiant finish (hello, glass skin!), and reviewers say it pulls through on its long-lasting claims (up to 72 hours!).
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned t here are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at al l. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer, so if you're older, that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go-to foundation from now on." — AJ Bond
Get it from Amazon for $17..50+ (available in 40 shades, a matte finish, a dewy finish, and sample kits to find your best shade match).
32. A tub of the TikTok-famous The Pink Stuff cleaning paste — which will take your sink, furniture, and tiles from grimy to shiny with the help of a little elbow grease. This will tackle any mess that pops up over the next 12 months.
www.amazon.com
This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water.
Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" — May

33. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and turmeric — aka the ultimate superhero ingredients for potentially brightening and reviving dull skin. Reviewers have had luck using this on both the face and body — but we recommend giving it a patch test first on a small area to see how your skin reacts. All good? Then start sudsing away!

Promising review:"So I initially started using another kojic acid soap to help with my hyperpigmentation due to shaving my face because I have PCOS and have developed hirsutism. I'm usually a 'full face of makeup at all times' kind of girl because of my insecurities, but this soap has given me a new confidence. I used it for the first time Saturday night and instantly saw the results of this soap. My skin looks so much more even." — Adrienne Jerkins

34. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in — just activate with water!) that makes scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds!

Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney

35. A gross but oh-so-satisfying Baby Foot exfoliating foot mask to remove all the dead skin that's lurking on your feet. Simply slip the booties on and let the fruit acid and 17 types of natural extracts get to work for an hour while you kick back. Then the fun part begins: your dead skin will start to peel off within five to seven days, revealing super smooth feet that'll have you counting down the days 'til sandal season.

Promising review:"My feet used to be horribly dry, itchy, and cracked with thick calluses. I started using Baby Foot every couple of months a year ago, and my feet are now soft and smooth. Make sure to soak your feet before using and then again at least once a few days later. I leave the booties on for longer than the instructions, usually around two hours. It doesn't burn or irritate my skin. A few days later, the top layer of skin starts peeling all over. It's REALLY gross-looking, so make sure you don't need to show your feet for about two weeks! The results are amazing, so it's totally worth it! Calluses improve dramatically with one treatment but bad calluses may need a couple of treatments to go away. Make sure to wait at least two weeks before using again. I've recommended to all my friends and family. Seems to work for all skin types." — Mostly Maven

36. A pomade hair wax stick — it'll be a major timesaver on those days when you want to smooth down flyaways, cowlicks, or set baby hairs into place. Just swipe it over any targeted areas you want to smooth and it'll provide some seriously strong hold without any sticky residue. You'll wish you had this back in the day when getting ready for school, but now your hair will finally hold up in windy weather!

Promising reviews:"I saw this on YouTube and immediately wanted to try it. I have curly hair which I love but sometimes I just want to put it in a ponytail and go on with my day. This is a time saver for all those little hairs that tend to stick up or don't want to stay in place. I'm not a fan of hairspray, and this even smells nice. I believe it's a light coconut smell. Overall satisfied, and you don't need to use much. I took it with me on vacation, and it saved me time in the evening from having to deal with bad hair days." — Blanca Perez
"I have 4A-4B curls. When my hair is straight, there are a few spots that are a little frizzier than others which to me, isn't a big deal. Some flyaways however were the biggest reason why I got this. It lays the baby hairs and is a little bit of a heavier product. I will say, you just have to be careful if you're not used to using heavy product. The first time I used it, I just put a little in my hands and then put it where it was needed." — Jay

37. A heat-resistant masher that'll chop ground meat into tinier pieces, therefore greatly reducing your cooking time in the process. It's also perfect for crushing tomatoes, potatoes, and any other 'atoes that need mincing.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wish I would have bought this so much sooner! I feel like every cook needs this in their kitchen. This is so helpful, especially when trying to break up other meats than beef — nothing breaks down the same way beef does and tends to stay in big chunks. This handles everything like a dream! Excellent purchase! Very well made — not flimsy at all. Super high quality!" — TAV
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and in packs of two).
38. A sleek automatic electric wine bottle opener because your day was stressful enough — you don't need a clunky corkscrew ruining your night! All you have to do is press it down over the top of the bottle, and there's even a built-in foil cutter so you won't ruin your nails in the process. Oh, and did I mention it's rechargeable and totally wireless??
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This wine opener is VERY easy to use and works like a champ each and every time. The foil cutter takes a bit of getting used to where the technique is to pull the blades back toward you as you spin the bottle. The cork opener is just dead simple. The motor activates automatically as you lower the device on to the bottle. The cork is then removed mechanically and once it is out, the motor reverses direction and spits out the cork. It's absolutely brilliant." — Steve
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors).
39. A protective spray that creates an invisible coating on surfaces to prevent fingerprints, stains, smudges, soap scum, and more — so it's a must for all my fellow spill-prone people. It's safe for use on almost any hard surface, including granite counters, stainless steel, marble, porcelain, and glass — and the coating lasts for up to 12 months!
Amazon, www.amazon.com
To use: Clean surface beforehand, then spray on surface, buff in with the included microfiber towel and wipe away any residue, then let cure for two hours before using the surface (though it's best to wait up to four hours before getting the surface wet). Btw, since it leaves a slick coating, you should not use it on floors.
Promising review:"After having to wipe off fingerprints and smudges on my refrigerator every time I opened it and using every product imaginable, I had little hope in another one. Much to my delight, this was a winner! I applied it two weeks ago and I can honestly say there are no fingerprints whatsoever. It is worth the price for how little I will probably have to use it. My fridge looks brand new. Five stars for me." — deb25

40. O'Keeffe's Working Hands Cream, which will basically give you brand-new hands. Its blend of beeswax and glycerin will get your skin back to normal if the brutal winter air has wreaked havoc on your hands over the last few months.
www.amazon.com
For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime.
Promising review:"In addition to lifting at the gym, I wash my hands judiciously and frequently between patient care for over 10 years. My hands have gotten more dry as the winters go. Started using it last year. The jar is easy to carry on my way to work, and I apply it during any downtime I have and on my way home. The cream goes on smooth, is not excessively oily, and absorbs and dries pretty fast that it doesn't hinder much busywork." — Perry

41. A moisturizing hair serum from Korean hair care brand Mise En Scéne made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot. They all work together to protect your strands from damage (including up to 446-degree heat protection!) while adding some hydration and shine. Kind of like how the seven members of S Club worked together to provide timeless bops.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while, so I love getting whiffs of it through the day. My hair is softer and doesn't seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair and then after it's dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I'll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value too; I've been using it pretty consistently since purchasing and I've barely made a dent in it. Love it!" — Noley
"Coming from someone with very coarse 4c hair.. this product is heaven-sent. Extremely satisfied. Sticking to this product and this product only from now on, lol." — Danielle

42. An over-the-drain hair catcher that'll collect all your loose strands in a tidy pile that's super easy to clean up. Reviewers say the silicone material helps keep it in place, and the drain holes are just big enough to let water through — meaning you won't be standing in a puddle of water by the end of your shower.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been very impressed! It's tall enough to fit easily over my pop-up drain, and (even without suction cups) the weighted top keeps it in place. I have medium-length hair and seem to shed almost as much as my cat, but the drain protector catches it all, and the hair is easily removed and tossed away. Best of all, the silicone doesn't hold onto mildew or mold. I have been able to spray and wipe away any grime with very little effort. It looks like this drain protector will last a very long time. This has been a very worthy purchase!" — Suneimi
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
43. A NYX Fat Oil lip gloss to douse your lips in hydrating raspberry seed oil while adding a super glowy shine and a light tint of color. Reviewers say this one combines the lightweight feel of a lip oil with the moisture of a heavier lip balm — and that it gives the way-more-expensive Dior lip oil a run for its money 👀.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I really like this and the applicator! It's so fun and cute. I like the texture and the feel of it on my lips. It feels thicker, and it doesn't come off too quickly. I got the color supermodel. It's not too pink like it looks and I wanted it to be natural, so it's perfect. Will be repurchasing." — Martha R.

44. An absolutely genius tool that lets you easily spread butter on your pans before cooking or directly on hot foods like corn on the cob or fresh bread. No more ~butter fingers~!

Promising review:"Absolutely perfect. It holds a whole stick of butter, and the butter stays in place, unlike with some of the other products on the market that are supposed to serve the same purpose." — Michelle
