Be ready to hide your new fave travel mug and dry shampoo from your partner because they WILL try to swipe them.
1. Illuminating nail concealer to help your nails look their beautiful, normal selves... just elevated! If you're after the polished-but-natural look, this vegan and cruelty-free concealer will have your nails in tip-top shape no matter how yellow or discolored they might be before you put on your new fave secret weapon. Your partner will wonder if you've been heading to the salon without them! (How dare.)

Reviewers love how buildable this polish is. Additionally, Londontown is a small business that primarily sells nail care.
Promising review:"I'm not a big review writer but I had to write one about this polish! Now, it has only been a few days but so far it has been the best nail polish I have ever used! I was hesitant because it's way more than I have ever spent on a nail polish. But it is so worth it. I don't know why it seems so different but it was easy to apply and looks as good as when I get a manicure. I have never had that when I have done my own nails! So far, I am hooked!" — jenc
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in five shades).
2. A "flossing toothbrush" deep-clean-teeth dreams are made of. The flossy bristles help reach bits that other brushes miss, leaving you with the kind of good mouth feel your dentist is definitely going to notice (and praise!) at your next appointment. Plus, it comes in a two-pack, which means your partner can give it a spin when they inevitably beg to try it.

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.
Promising review:" Best toothbrush I ever had. Not too soft, not too hard. Does a great job. Good for tongue cleaning. This is the only toothbrush I will buy. Easy on the gums." — LM

Promising reviews:"At first I was very skeptical, but the minute you put hands on Clicks an old familiar feeling takes over. From the clicking sound, to the shortcuts and features. It's a mush have! You won't ever want to go back." — Luis C.
"It is fantastic. There is a learning curve, but the daily emails with tips and tricks for the first week were super helpful. At least three people I know have ordered after seeing mine. If you abhor typing on a screen and miss the days you could fly on your 'Berry, this is for you. Thank you, Clicks!" — Karen E.
Get it from Clicks for $139+ (available in three colors).
4. An Essence cruelty-free lengthening mascara to give your lashes all the "oomph" without giving your wallet any "oof" of buying fake lashes.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Love it, love it, love it!!! You really look like you have fake eyelashes on. This mascara is amazing! It's not thick and lumpy, and it glides on smoothly and precisely. You feel like you had a makeup artist do your eyes!!! It lasts all day — no touch-up required, no smearing, no clumping. I use soap and warm water to remove. I am 500% completely happy and satisfied!" — Very Dissatisfied !!
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black and brown).
5. Or a Korean-made lash-lifting kit that lasts up to six weeks and gives your lashes that amazing curled perm look without you having to lift a finger after it sets! Your partner will for sure notice your luscious lashes, so maybe have another kit on hand if they get too jealous of your Bambi skills and want a deer-upgrade themselves.
This kit includes lash glue, lash perm, lash fixation, lash nutrition, lash cleanser, five silicone pads, three lash cleaning brushes, 10 lash micropores, 10 brushes, and five gel under-eye pads.
Promising review: " Okay I'm not gonna lie, I was worried that this stuff would either not work at all or make all my lashes fall out. Thankfully, it was neither and the results are UNREAL. I HIGHLY suggest watching some YouTube videos of other people using their perm kits before attempting to use yours. I have big fingers and small eyes so it was difficult for me to get the lift pads in the right positions but once that was over, the rest was a breeze. Unlike some of the other kits I've seen on here, this one has basically everything you need. The only other things I needed were a mirror, some tissue, and a little bit of plastic wrap to cover my lashes while waiting for the lotions to work their magic. I'm totally impressed and will definitely be buying this again! — Ryan
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
6. A Slice ergonomic box cutter perfect for opening any and all boxes that arrive on your doorstep. The handle makes it a breeze no matter how stubborn the packaging, so give your wrist and your poor fingers a break and give them a solid assist by ordering this yesterday.
My partner *was* actually jealous of this and bought him one to keep for opening packages at work, too. We're ALSO both big fans of this mini box cutter by the same company if you want something for on the go.
Promising review:" This is simply the best box cutter I've ever used. It's easy to hold, cuts accurately, evenly and smoothly, and best yet, doesn't cut you if you touch the blade. The lock mechanism is secure and easy to engage/disengage, and the blade stores firmly within the cutter. T his is an innovative and functional box cutter with a unique design. The only drawback is that you have to use proprietary blades, one is included preloaded in the cutter, but given the benefits this is a fair tradeoff. Highly recommended." — J.R. Sedivy
Get it from Amazon for $16.25+ (available in seven colors and multipacks).
7. A tub of the cult-fave The Pink Stuff which uses itty-bitty mild abrasives to scrape but not scratch your floors, stovetops, ovens, bathtubs, car wheels, and pretty much anything else you or your significant other can think of. Always smart to test it on a small patch before really going to scrub town, but then you're free to clean to your heart's content! (And look, if they love scrubbing so much, they can have the chore.)
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Psst. If you're already a fan of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste, I can't recommend their foamy bathroom cleaner and their multi-purpose cleaner enough!
Promising review:"Honestly I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of bandwagon. Of course I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say I'm very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it's super-fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven't tried it on rust yet so we'll see how that goes. Overall very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" — Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
8. Some Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap that can help fade acne scars, reduce dark spots, and even out your skin tone thanks to its winning formula that includes vitamin C, retinol, collagen, and turmeric. Basically a lot of good-for-your-skin stuff in one easy, convenient bar of awesome!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It's been a month of using the bar every time I shower and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I'm so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this things works and it works fast!" — puppbear
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99.
9. A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment if your hair could use an at-home boost after heat or sun damage. Lots of reviewers call this the miracle mask, and for less than $10, I'm willing to take those odds. (And I bet your partner is, too, so either hide the bottle or get ready to ~share~.)
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them!
Promising review:"Holy moly. This stuff is AH-mazing. To be free of bad stuff, smell amazing, leave my hair SMOOTH and SOFT (did I emphasize that enough), and leave my hair drying quicker with it looking near perfect. Well, folks, what else is there to say? Buy it. Don't think about it. Just do it. This coming from a super-picky hair girl!" — Aubsmommmy

10. A garbage disposal cleaner that's a total drop-and-go situation and will clean your disposal blades, sidewalls, and beneath the splashguard, ensuring your kitchen smells ~amazing~ with seriously minimal effort.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Seeing is believing. Not only does it do a great job, but you can see it happening. It doesn't just mask the smell and leave a lemon scent like some products, it cleans too and looks fun. Idk. Blue foam comes out and that's good enough for me." — sylvie yah
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $3.78.
11. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen to start getting your smile summer-vacay pic ready by removing discoloration and stains with a swipe of a pen. Brush and floss before applying, but then get ready to unleash your million-watt smile and have your partner begging to use the other pen. (Another two-pack ftw!)
Each pen can be used around 20 times and can lighten your teeth four to eight shades with consecutive use.
Promising review:"Hardly ever do I review but this time...sheesh! This product blew me away after only three times! First off, the ease of use. I've tried a ton a products for teeth whitening and all have been either inconvenient to use, make you wear a mouth guard, etc. This is a pen/brush! Hold it like a writing pen and twist up for the solution. The solution feeds through onto the brush, which is actually the size of a tooth and you just paint brushstroke on dry teeth as you are smiling! It dries on and you rinse off. Magical! I've seen a noticeable difference after only use this for three days!! My husband even said WOW your teeth look amazingly white. I'm a smoker/tea drinker/coffee drinker too! My husband is a firm believer that stuff like this never works...LOL Well boy oh boy this product changed his mind instantly! He already swiped my other pen and has been using it too. We see the difference and are very satisfied. What's even more awesome is the price! Two pens for such an amazing low price. If I could give this 1,000 stars you would have earned 1,001 know what I mean?!" — Lisa Edwards
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
12. A super handy eight-compartment pill organizer for keeping your medications easily accessible whether you're headed across the world or just to the grocery store. (Look, you never know when a migraine is going to hit, and why wouldn't you want a lil' personal pharmacy in your bag to get you back to tip-top shape?)
Promising review:"These travel pill cases are totally worth it! We are always out and about traveling, and this case helps keep the travel pharmacy organized! No more clunky pill bottles. The pill case is very sturdy and has a clasp that stays tightly latched. The compartments on the inside are easy to open with plenty of storage for pills. I was able to fit about 10 larger pills into the smaller compartments. It's nice to have the larger compartments too. You can fit wrapped cough drops or other medications in those. Highly recommend!!" — Sydney Harsh
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in two color varieties).
13. Lee Beauty's Callus Remover for the smoothest feet so you can feel extra good about that new pair of fuzzy socks you're going to wear to bed tonight.
Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super dry thick callused heels for only three minutes and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those used tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Kiki
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three styles).
14. A bottle of Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to lock your hard-earned makeup looks into place for up to 16 HOURS. If you're like me and achieving even a basic makeup look takes some effort, make your handiwork last as long as possible by keeping this in your arsenal.
BuzzFeed shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this and absolutely loves it:
"I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking many trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.)
Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that timespan: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, several meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying a number of times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non -waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray."
Get it from Amazon for $14.45+ (available in two sizes) or Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes).
15. A BruMate Muv 100% LEAKPROOF travel mug that no matter what you do ~simply will not~ spill your perfect beverage. I have enough faith in mine to throw it in my purse. Yes. Really. And chances are you're already a fan of the brand's uber-popular Era tumbler so you KNOW these will hold up. Just be prepared to share sips of your stays-hot-for-hours beverage with your partner. (Or just get them their own!)
Promising reviews:"I've been using this cup all winter, and it a keeper. Keeps my coffee hot, easy to clean, and it doesn't leak if the lid is closed. There is a lock on the lid, figure it out before you use it :)" — H. Gardner
" This cup is everything. My husband bought me this cup so I can drink my tea & it'll stay hot on my way to work. It's completely spill proof/leak proof if you keep the lock in place. It's easy to clean. It doesn't fit in your cupholder, but if you lock the lid, you can just throw it in your purse or on the front seat." — Alexa
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in seven colors).
16. A soothing saline nasal gel if either of you is prone to itchy and dry nasal passageways and want to get rid of them once and for all. It's like lip balm for your nose!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I don't like to talk about it, but every year my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." — Catherine
Get it from Amazon for $3.62.
17. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm that will help protect your moisture barrier and prevent future breakouts while totally melting away your makeup from the day.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Juno & Co. is a small business focused on moving away from the traditional beauty market to sustainable and simplified formulas.
Promising review:"I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1,000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
18. Affresh dishwasher tablets to give your hardworking dishwasher a well-deserved spa day and yourself the gift of cleaner, less-cloudy dishes. Maybe nudge these in your partner's direction the next time they're on dish duty ~as a little treat.~
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and dishes just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully every month, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" — Sheila
Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
19. A bottle of Bio-Oil Multiuse Skincare Oil a friend practically threw at me when I complained of the skin around my nose being scaly. Have since used on very old scars and can confirm this is a miracle elixir that should cost much more than 12 buckeroos. Sometimes I put a couple of drops in my daily moisturizer ~just for fun~ because it also smells amazing. My own partner was dubious, but now uses it on his dry-from-hand-sanitizer-at-work knuckles ALL THE TIME.
See a TikToker's before and after here.
Promising review:"After just about three weeks of use I've seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don't even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn't exacerbate my already oily complexion." — L T C
Get it from Amazon for $10.26+ (available in two sizes).
20. A pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors so you can shape your brows, remove unwanted facial hair, or exfoliate your face on the cheap. (I'd make a hair pun here, but perhaps I should just cut it out... and put these in my cart already.)
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows and they're perfect." — Megan Kopicko
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.59.
21. An octopus-shaped blackhead remover you'll give eight thumbs up for its near-magical ability to help gently exfoliate your skin and pull out blackheads, whiteheads, and any other icky things you'd rather ~not~ live in your pores. (Plus it's just as cute as a button!)
Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok, it works great so far." — MarMarManuel
"After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." — LuckLocust
Get it from Amazon for $8.75.
22. Some Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion because warmer weather is here and sometimes that means accidentally flying too close to the sun. Do what Icarus couldn't and save yourself (and your skin) by letting the aloe and coconut oil formula soothe, condition, and help banish any red spots you might have acquired.
It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.
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. Highly recommend!" — jlgentr3
Get it from Amazon for $10.03.
23. A mold and mildew removal gel to kiss gross buildup in your shower and bathtub goodbye FOR GOOD. All you have to do is apply it, let it sit, and then rinse. Seriously. As someone who has scrubbed at her shower for literal hours, this is some kind of cleaning witchery and will save you so much time in the long run. It's like a cheat code if you lose the "rock, paper, scissors" game of whose turn it is to clean the shower!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We've had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We've scrubbed with what seems like a million different products, with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But, my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It's incredible. 1,000% worth the (small) investment. Seriously — just buy this. It's amazing!!" — Nicole D.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
24. And a no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you simply spray in your shower, leave overnight, and rinse the next day. Yes, this cleaner is basically the set-it-and-forget-it of shower cleaners. Yes, you and your partner are going to argue over whose turn it is to go to clown town using the attached sprayer like a firehose all over the shower because it's efficient and fun.
Amazon
Promising review:"This stuff is a lifesaver. Life is tremendously busy with kids and cleaning the shower is at the bottom of the list. I bought this due to pure frustration and disgust of my shower and it has turned it around in a weekend. You literally spray it and forget it and just with that little effort, I have a clean shower!! Also great for glass doors. It cleaned everything! Love it!" — Amanda Nichols
Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and multipacks).
25. A pet hair remover for your car, your home, and your own person if your furry friend tries to leave little fuzzy gifts literally everywhere. This reusable roller will keep your household from coughing up hairballs and it does it without snagging on fabric. Just don't be late for your next movie date night because you're too busy perfecting your fav couch cushion. (They might get jealous and take your new toy to use on their side.)
Promising review:"TikTok made me buy this, and it is money well spent!! I'm convinced that my beagle sheds a full coat of hair and regrows it daily! I use this on my bed every single day and it blows my mind how well it works. Before this I was going through 4–5 disposable sticky rollers a month and spending 3x longer to remove dog hair. I am buying these for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts this year! ❤️" — tiff4short
Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in three colors).
26. A pack of Mighty Patch pimple spot treatments that finally broke me of my pimple-popping habit because these work so much better and leave your face less red. Just put them on for six hours or so (I use mine at night) and watch as they work their gunk-removal magic! A magician never reveals their secrets, but you *might* have to reveal this one so your partner can share in the self-care wizardry.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I heard all about these on TikTok, so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. I will always have these in my house from now on!" — Kiara Galloway
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
27. An anti-blister balm to help break in those new shoes without the major "ouch" factor. Throw them in your bag to whip out on your next couple-hike when their shoes get to rubbing and be prepared to be the hero of their hearts and their feet.
Amazon
Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! I wore heels that always give me blisters for eight hours, and I didn't get a single one when using this balm. It really worked! I plan on getting it again and again. I always have it in my bag at work just in case. I did find it necessary to reapply if I took my shoes off and put them on again." — Donna
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two sizes).
28. A silicone- and paraben-free L'Oréal lamellar hair treatment with a precision tip applicator and dosage marks on the bottle that will make you feel like an A+ professional when you apply this between your shampoo and conditioner. It makes your hair sleek, shiny, and ultra moisturized, so just be prepared for your partner to run their fingers through over and over again in awe.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I don't usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me, I didn't take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair ... I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." — Theressa Hailey
Get it from Amazon for $9.84.
29. A bottle of nontoxic Folex Carpet Spot Remover for that one soy sauce stain y'all never quite managed to get out with your regular cleaning attempts. This stuff can tackle old stains, so don't shell out $$$ to rent a carpet cleaner when Folex will do the trick for less than 10 bucks.
www.amazon.com
To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with an absorbent cloth. This is nontoxic and should be nonirritating on the skin!
Promising review:"This stuff is MAGIC. Believe the hype. Seriously. I have not found a stain this can't remove effortlessly. Set in or fresh stain, it takes them down like the way Chuck Norris was described a decade ago. The stain is so afraid, it leaves the carpet as soon as this is in its presence. The fact they keep it at a reasonable price and it works like magic, amazing." — Theresa
Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).
30. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil if you've got 99 problems and you don't want weak nails to be one of them. Just massage the oil into your cuticles and nails each night (don't forget beneath the nails, too!) and enjoying waking up to healthier, sturdier nails.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big 4-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!" — Diana
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes).
31. A Byoma phyto-mucin glow serum because if being outside more and enjoying the sunshine irritates your skin, then this will help combat those pesky adult breakouts by strengthening your skin barrier. Your partner will get so tired of hearing how awesome your skin looks when you start using it regularly, they're 100% going to swipe yours. (Swiper, no swiping!)
amazon.com
I've been using this for over a month and can't recommend it enough! If you have a certain snail mucin in your lineup and have been sad since they changed the formula, BE SAD NO LONGER. I love this more than even the OG snail mucin formula from that ~other brand~.
Promising review:"A must have! Coming from someone who has incredibly sensitive and eczema prone skin, this is such a high quality product. It's moisturizing, hydrating, and gives that 'glass skin' look. It didn't make me break out which is a huge plus because I have to be very careful with new products. It goes great under makeup." — Kate
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
32. A set of Sea Bands so you can reduce nausea brought on by motion sickness or morning sickness by letting the acupuncture nub put a lil' pressure on your wrists to tell your brain (and upset stomach) to chill out.
www.amazon.com

Promising review:"I've always been kind of sick. I throw up on long car rides, I can't read in the car, I get horrible migraines 24/7, etc. Recently I changed medications and because of that, my migraines came back with a vengeance. Thinking there was nothing I could do I kind of gave up, until, I was looking at BuzzFeed and saw this in their recommended. I thought it could help with any car sickness that I would get but man I was not giving these enough credit! Since I have bought them I wear them ALL. THE. TIME. I wear them in and out of the car, to bed, and just around the house. I no longer feel nauseous and my migraines are almost non existent. Whoever invented these are a freaking god!

Promising review:"I bought this nifty gadget about six months ago for a multi-leg, ultra-long-haul trip and it more than held up the entire duration. I was able to finagle it to fit the tray tables on different planes, and like others, I find the height just nice when clamped onto a stowed tray table. It also works on my roller carry-on handle during layovers. However, I find myself using it a lot outside of travel too! Work-wise, I've clamped it onto my office desk shelving to hold my phone at eye level beside my computer. At home, I simply clamped it to a deck of cards and it turns into a versatile stand that I can place on any flat surface. Heck, I've been using it to hold my phone comfortably at eye level while watching videos in bed. It's extremely well-built, and I find myself fidgeting with it all the time. Thus far it still feels solid and I don't anticipate breaking it any time soon. Even if it does break, I'll be happy to buy another one or two of it!" — Earendil

Promising review:"My ear was clogged and muffled. I started using this the next day and it literally WORKED. The key is to leave the solution in for 30 minutes (lie on your side); use the squirt bottle and apply quite a bit of pressure to shoot out the wax and you'll be able to hear again. Super easy to use and very effective. I thought I was going to have to go in to the ER because I literally couldn't hear. I'm so glad I bought this!" — Kaydie

The Truth About Diddy Might Be Darker Than the Rumors
Over the past year and a half, I've kept finding myself in unexpected conversations about Diddy. Cab drivers, deli cooks, and far-flung uncles have all wanted to chat about the 55-year-old rapper who's now on trial for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. There is, certainly, plenty to talk about: Federal prosecutors allege that the media mogul liked to throw baby-oil-slicked orgies—called 'freak-offs'—where abuse and exploitation regularly occurred. (He pleaded not guilty; his lawyers say he never coerced anyone into anything.) But the conversations tend to be less about Sean 'Diddy' Combs than about playing a guessing game: Who else was involved? Some of the people I've spoken with had theories about Justin Bieber, citing rumors suggesting that the singer—a teenage protégé of Diddy's—had been preyed upon ('Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims,' Bieber's representative said in a statement last month). Others speculated that the Democratic Party, whose candidates Combs has campaigned for over the years, was in some way implicated in the case. Most of them agreed that Diddy was comparable to Jeffrey Epstein in that he was probably at the hub of a celebrity sex-crime ring. Since the trial began a few weeks ago, it's become clear what these conversations were: distractions from the bleak, all-too-ordinary issues that this case is really about. The wild nature of the conspiracist narratives surrounding Combs can't be understated. In January, social-media users wondered if the fires that swept through glitzy L.A. neighborhoods were meant to destroy evidence pointing to the participation of other celebrities. On Amazon last year, sales spiked for a salacious memoir purportedly written by the rapper's late girlfriend, Kimberly Porter, and published by a self-described investigative journalist using the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood—the latter being the supposed alias that Tupac used after he, according to legend, faked his death. (Amazon pulled the book from its offerings after Porter's family lambasted it as a forgery.) One viral fake news story, based on no evidence at all, said that Will Smith had sold one of his children into Combs's servitude. On Truth Social last fall, Donald Trump himself shared a meme featuring a fabricated image of Kamala Harris and Diddy, with text reading, 'Madam vice president, have you ever been involved with or engaged in one of Puff Daddies freak offs?' The media also stoked the fervor. A former bodyguard of Combs's gave an interview for a TMZ documentary saying that politicians, princes, and preachers were mixed up in the rapper's debauchery. The conservative influencer Charlie Kirk devoted a portion of one webcast to wondering, 'Maybe P. Diddy has footage of Barack Obama doing something he shouldn't have been doing?' Piers Morgan hosted a singer, Jaguar Wright, who insinuated that Jay-Z and Beyoncé had committed crimes much like the ones Diddy is charged with. After those stars issued a vigorous denial and threatened to sue, Morgan apologized and edited any mention of them out of the interview online—and then, in February, retired General Michael Flynn presented Wright with a 'Defender of Freedom Award' at Mar-a-Lago. A few actual facts underlay all of this QAnon-esque speculation. For more than a decade, Combs's legendary White Parties attracted a medley of stars to the Hamptons, Los Angeles, and Saint-Tropez. Attendees often joked publicly about how rowdy the festivities could get. Over the past year or so, dozens of people—an array of musicians, workers, models, and others who have crossed paths with him since the 1990s—have sued Combs for a variety of offenses (all of which he denies), and some of those suits have alluded to alleged misdeeds by other celebrities. (One lawsuit naming Jay-Z was dropped after the star denied the claim; he has since countersued for defamation.) Still, the speed and sheer giddiness with which conspiracist thinking eclipsed the known details of Combs's case confirmed a few bleak realities about the psyche of a country in which economic inequality and sexual abuse are both stubbornly endemic. A whole class of politicians, commentators, and media platforms exist to exploit the resentments that everyday people hold toward the rich and famous. Meanwhile, rates of sexual harassment and assault—reportedly experienced by 82 percent of women and 42 percent of men in the United States in their lifetime—remain as high as they were when the #MeToo movement erupted in 2017. Examining the real reasons for this is less fun—and, for many, less profitable—than imagining that Hollywood is a front for ritualistic sadism. The trial itself, which began in Manhattan on May 12, has not yet revealed a network of super-famous evildoers. Although the testimony has surfaced vivid and bizarre details about the rarefied lives of celebrities, it's also told an intimate, human, oddly familiar story about how power can warp relationships in all sorts of ways. I realized that in the random conversations I'd had leading up to the trial, I'd heard a lot about the imagined villains, and very little about the people they were said to have hurt. Combs's downfall in the public eye began in November 2023, when an ex-girlfriend, the singer Cassie Ventura, filed a lawsuit alleging that he had raped and physically abused her. The suit was settled one day later out of court, but many of its details are resurfacing now. Although the federal trial against Combs is expected to last at least eight weeks and feature dozens of witnesses, Diddy and Ventura's relationship has been central to the testimony. Prosecutors say Combs ran an organized criminal enterprise that served, in part, to assist in and cover up this one woman's subjugation. Ventura, now 38, was a 19-year-old aspiring R&B singer when she met Combs around 2005. He'd heard her first-ever single, 'Me & U'; it would become a hit, but Diddy promised that he could guide her to a career of lasting success. He signed her to a 10-album deal with his label, Bad Boy Records, and released her debut album in 2006. It is still her only album to ever come out. Their relationship soon evolved from professional to romantic. The singer said she'd initially rejected the rapper's advances but that she'd felt pressured to do what he wanted because her career was largely in his hands. He also reportedly provided her with gifts, threatened her with punishment, and supplied her with drugs until she felt he controlled her life. She said that he then used that control liberally, dictating what she wore, whom she socialized with, which medications she took. He also beat her. Hotel security-camera footage from 2016 published by CNN last year—and used as evidence in the trial—showed Combs chasing Ventura down a hallway, throwing her to the ground, kicking her, and pulling her by her sweatshirt. The video is a small and terrible glimpse into their relationship. Diddy is in a towel and clearly furious; Ventura, starkly alone, makes no effort to defend herself. 'My behavior on that video is inexcusable,' Combs said in a filmed mea culpa last year; during the trial, his lawyers have acknowledged that he was violent toward her. Other witnesses in the trial have testified that the hotel assault was not an isolated incident. One former assistant, Capricorn Clark, reported seeing Combs repeatedly kick Ventura after learning that she'd been romantically involved with the rapper Kid Cudi. Another former assistant, George Kaplan, described a 2015 altercation between Combs and Ventura on Diddy's private jet. He heard the sound of breaking glass in a private area, where he then saw Combs standing and holding a whiskey glass over Ventura, who was on her back. According to Kaplan, Ventura screamed, 'Isn't anybody seeing this?' No one on the plane intervened, Kaplan said. The now-notorious freak-offs allegedly occurred against this backdrop of violence and intimidation. Ventura's lawsuit said that toward the beginning of Combs and Ventura's relationship, Combs hired a man to have sex with Ventura while Diddy watched. Encounters like that, involving sex workers and drugs, became regular occurrences that could last for days at a time. The freak-offs were, prosecutors say, 'performances' for Combs's pleasure. And they affected the performers; Ventura testified to having medical problems, mental-health issues, and drug addiction as a result of them. Combs's defense argues that Ventura willingly participated in these events. His lawyers have cited text messages in which she appears to express enthusiasm: 'I'm always ready to freak off,' she wrote to him in August 2009. Other texts suggest a more complicated picture—in 2017, Ventura wrote, 'I love our FOs when we both want it.' She and prosecutors assert that whenever she tried to resist Combs's commands, he would bring her to heel with physical violence and threats of blackmail and financial harm. Ventura's lawsuit alleged that when she tried to break up with him for good in 2018, he raped her in her home (an accusation that Diddy's defense has concertedly pushed back on during the trial). Ventura is not the only alleged victim of Combs's. His employees have shared particularly disturbing stories: Clark said that Combs kidnapped her twice; a former assistant identified as Mia testified last week that the rapper repeatedly sexually assaulted her. (Diddy's lawyers dispute that the kidnappings ever happened and have questioned Mia's credibility.) Prosecutors are pursuing racketeering charges on the theory that Combs didn't act alone: For example, they say he may have had someone set Kid Cudi's car on fire (the defense denies Combs's involvement in that arson). In this way, Diddy's case is also a story about what happens when it's easier to take the check and not ask too many questions. But fundamentally, the trial is another highly public test of the definition of consent. It recalls the prosecutions of Harvey Weinstein, the movie producer who allegedly dangled job prospects to women interested in the film industry in exchange for sex (one of his convictions was overturned last year and is being retried now). It also evokes R. Kelly, the musician who wooed aspiring singers with promises of career help and then violently kept them—and other women—in sexual servitude (behavior for which he is currently serving 31 years in prison). And the issues here transcend celebrity. When #MeToo erupted eight years ago, it forced many everyday Americans to reexamine experiences they'd had in their workplaces and homes. The movement has, by many indications, petered out or even curdled into backlash: Yesterday, one of Diddy's lawyers asked Mia whether she was looking for a 'Me Too money grab,' which suggests he thinks the very words Me Too might be tinged for some jury members. But to sit with the allegations against Combs—and the experiences of the alleged victims—is to again be confronted with the underlying reasons that movement happened. It's to be confronted with the intolerable things that happen when men are given the power to pursue their desires however they want, and to extract whatever they want from their underlings. A lot of people would evidently prefer to turn away from that confrontation—and to focus on fantasy. Since I started paying attention to the case, my YouTube algorithm has become polluted by videos with AI-generated courtroom sketches of stars such as Will Smith and Jay-Z, paired with totally imaginary testimony about their involvement in Combs's crimes. The videos are yet another sign that our society is losing any shared sense of reality. They do, however, have disclaimers stipulating that they are fiction, which raises the question: Why is this the story someone wants to hear? Perhaps because tales of demonic Hollywood cabals offer a simple, clear-cut narrative that doesn't ask us to reflect on how domestic violence and sexual coercion really get perpetuated—and perhaps because that narrative benefits certain agendas. Last month, I tuned in to Asmongold, a popular Twitch streamer who interprets the daily news for a large audience of young, often aggrieved men. He had a glazed look in his eyes as TV news footage related to the trial played on his screen. Then he said, 'I don't care about this case at all—until Diddy starts naming names.'

Disney Bubble Has Lost Its Magic
A visit to Disney World wasn't on my vacation list since I went as a wide-eyed 10 year-old. But it became a reality when The Magic of Disney The Daily Skimm my niece requested a full-circle trip to celebrate her high school graduation—a way to put a bow (or mouse ears) on her childhood. This time, we were doing it differently: a full week, one day per park, fully immersed in the famed Disney Bubble. But after a week of exploring Disney World, the most glaring issue became clear: Disney has disconnected value from experience and has siloed its theme parks from the rest of its ecosystem. The consumer hasn't made that same separation—and it's costing Disney more than it realizes. As a CX geek, I was excited to experience what many hail as the gold standard of consumer-centric, pixie-dust-sprinkled wonderlands. Instead, I found a collection of aging parks cutting corners, missing opportunities to delight, and filled with unpleasant surprises. Walt would not be pleased. What made this realization even more disheartening was seeing the crowds—people of all ages and backgrounds still pouring into the parks, chasing a fairytale vacation and memories to last a lifetime, despite the economic realities. These were guests seeking IRL magic, prepared to walk thousands of steps a day and endure lines longer than the wait for an Amazon delivery, all for a two-minute ride. I expected better from Disney. As people didn't miss a chance to cos-play their favorite Disney character in fashion and drop even more money across the myriad of shopping touch points, the park was more focused on taking than giving. This isn't how the Disney promise was conceived. Disney has a dedicated team—Yellow Shoes—focused on guest experience. Scattered throughout the parks are helpful guest experience concierges with limited ability and zero data to truly help service a guest. (Minus actual yellow shoes - ala Mickey!). Value And Experience Are Inextricably Linked This disconnection includes how employees are treated. Cast members—who are often the way fantasy and story come to life for guests—should be abundant and frequently in sight versus a rare sighting with long lines for meet and greets. All employees are the frontline of value delivery. And yet, numerous recent reports highlight low wages, with some cast members so desperate to work for Disney that they live in their cars. That lopsided equation inevitably trickles down to the guest experience. It felt like little thought was being given to how to uphold Disney's promise to continuously exceed expectations. Many rides were out of order, under renovation, or simply felt outdated. Value creation isn't just about pricing—it's about delivering an experience that aligns with brand promise and consumer expectation. For long-term success, customer expectation must be built back into the brand strategy. Disney As An Omni-Entertainment Platform And Ecosystem Looking ahead, imagine what's possible if Disney fully embraced an agentic AI suite integrated with its CRM—anticipating needs, solving problems in real time, and delivering personalized magic at scale. That would be the Disney Bubble reimagined. I found myself asking: If Netflix had theme parks, how would they operate? The answer is clear—through data. Netflix excels by cultivating a deep, dynamic relationship with its users through superior data intelligence. Disney could do the same, leveraging cross-channel knowledge to elevate guest experiences. Data should be treated as a superpower—a strategic asset to guide decisions, tailor offerings, and unlock long-term competitive advantage. To thrive, Disney 2.0 needs a new operating model that aligns with the evolving expectations of modern consumers. This model must be powered by data, AI and machine learning—tools that can enhance service, personalize experiences, and fuel product innovation. With a vast content library and beloved IP, Disney has the assets. The question is: can it build the systems? Can it unite divisions focused on content, media networks, studio entertainment with parks, resorts and consumer products? Imagine Disney as a truly data-driven company, moving with next-gen speed and agility without sacrificing quality. That vision is critical as the company enters emerging markets like Abu Dhabi, where the bar for immersive, tech-driven experiences will be sky-high. Disney is at a crossroads—either a cautionary tale or the blueprint for a fairytale future. There's much to learn from what they've gotten right, what they're getting wrong, and how they choose to evolve. Because if Disney doesn't reimagine its magic, someone else will. MrBeast—yes, the YouTube megastar—is already 'imagineering' his own next-generation media and consumer products empire. Beast Industries is pitching investors on a diversified entertainment universe fueled by wildly successful IP and a digital-native audience. Disney still has time. But the bubble, as it stands, has burst.

Photoshop Mobile Coming To Android Today — For Free With All Features
Adobe has just launched a mobile version of its Photoshop program for Android users, following the debut of Photoshop Mobile on iPhone in February 2025. The app launches in beta and, for now at least, every feature is included and the app is free. Photoshop comes to Android. The idea behind Photoshop Mobile, seen in the months it's been on the iPhone, is that it enables open-ended creativity, so that you can start Photoshopping wherever inspiration strikes – no more having a blinding flash of creativity on the subway, say, and being unable to do anything about it until you can get to your computer. Adobe says that creatives who previously had to carry their laptops everywhere in case they needed to make quick edits can now just do it on their phone. Putting a major program like Photoshop on a phone screen might make you think it's a lite version with few features, but Adobe has worked to ensure it's powerful and feature-packed. It's designed differently with no toolbar as you'll find on a desktop, instead focusing on tools at the base of the screen. Nevertheless, it includes image editing and design, as well as Firefly, which means you can employ tools like AI generative fill. In a behind-closed-doors press conference, an Adobe executive demonstrated how to use it, showing how easy it was to use. Core features such as layering, masking and blending are included. You can select objects on the phone using Tap Select, which detects what objects are in your project and by just tapping on one, it automatically selects it, overcoming fears that precise selection might be difficult on a phone. Additionally, Adobe Stock images, hundreds of thousands of them, are available in the app for users to make the most of. Tools like the Spot Healing Brush are accessible with a couple of taps, and the app seems smart enough to handle changes with the subtlety and dexterity you'd expect from the desktop version. For those new to Photoshop, there are tutorials in the app that explain how layers, selection and AI tools like Firefly work. Photoshop on Android (beta) is available now for devices running Android 11 or later, with 6GB RAM or more — 8GB or more is recommended. It's available in the Google Play Store and all the app's features are accessible for free during the initial beta period. It's expected that after this beta period, users will have to sign up for a $7.99 a month, or $70 a year subscription.
