35 Products With Results Worthy Of A Spit Take
A stainless-steel tongue cleaner so you can scrape away all the nastiness in your mouth that's been giving you a case of morning breath. It's gross and satisfying in equal measure.
Veet's sensitive hair removal gel — it's formulated with aloe, so it's perfect for anyone who typically deals with redness and irritation after hair removal. It's also meant to provide longer-lasting results when compared to traditional shaving and reduce the chance of ingrowns. Be prepared to pat yourself on your smooth, hairless back!
Compound W One Step Pads designed to remove plantar warts with ease, and also have reviewer photos that will inspire and traumatize you in equal measure. The medicated pads are packed with salicylic acid to help break down the wart, and you can replace them every 48 hours for best results for up to 12 weeks.
Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream, because your décolletage deserves some special skincare attention. It contains salicylic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while glycerin and aloe add some extra hydration. Put that Groupon for a laser treatment down — try this first!
A Bounce wrinkle release spray in a convenient travel size so you can take it with you on your next vacay. Seriously, who has time to iron while traveling?! There's also no telling if that dusty hotel iron is actually going to work. All you have to do is spray, tug the fabric a few times, then smooth the wrinkles away with your hand. It's also perfect for refreshing any clothes you plan to wear a few times during your trip, thanks to the fresh scent.
A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that has 35,000+ reviewers feeling like they're the star of a Pantene commercial. Biotin can help provide a fuller appearance to your strands (hello volume!!!), while rosemary and coconut oil are known to moisturize the scalp (bye, bye itchiness). You'll be ~toss, tossing~ your hair like Glinda in no time. 💁♀️
And a wildly popular rosemary mint hair-strengthening oil to coat your scalp in 30 essential oils and biotin. The rosemary and mint can help provide a stimulating, refreshing effect on your scalp, while biotin has been known to help with hair fullness.
The beloved Hard as Hoof nourishing cream made with beeswax and jojoba oil to condition brittle nails and cuticles (on your fingers AND toes!) and have them looking as shiny and fresh as they did before that gel manicure did its damage. It's designed to sink in quickly (a rare feat in the world of cuticle oils) and it also smells like coconuts. I probably should have led with the coconut part. 🥥 🤤
And a nail concealer that's a multitasking marvel — some reviewers say it even gives Dior a run for its money. It strengthens nails thanks to its blend of biotin and keratin, and it also provides a sheer hint of pink color that works great on its own or as a fast-dry top coat. It's basically a manicure in a bottle — which is an absolute STEAL at under $6. Just be sure to tip yourself when you're done.
A leather cleaner to polish up and add some shine to any furniture, shoes, or accessories that have seen better days. It requires ZERO scrubbing, just spray, wipe, and let dry. The formula is also fragrance-free, so you won't have to worry about your recliner smelling like lemony chemicals.
A retinol body lotion, because 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.
Or a lightweight gel-cream from Nivea that uses the magic of an ingredient called ~Q10~ to help firm and moisturize your skin — and it's racked up more than 17,000 rave ratings. Reviewers say it takes consistent use over a few weeks to see results, but those who stuck with it have seen changes in the smoothness of their neck, thighs, and more.
Bissell's iconic Little Green cleaner — all the upholstery in your home is probably way overdue for a good cleaning, even if it doesn't look dirty. It's racked up a seriously impressive 71,000+ five-star reviews on Amazon so far, with many reviewers pointing out how lightweight and easy it is to use. Pet parents especially love it since it actually lifts all the stains that come along with having a fluffy friend in your home.
A piercing bump solution formulated with jojoba, grape seed, and rose to keep any annoying keloids at bay! It can help shrink bumps and reduce scarring by promoting skin cell turnover and adding an extra dose of moisture.
The Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will have you singing 🎵 "where have you been all my li-i-i-i-i-ife?" 🎵 when you realize it might just replace your beloved Smashbox x Becca Under Eye Brightening Cream. Reviewers say it blends seamlessly into the skin and adds light coverage to dark circles — and now it comes in four shades!
And Maybelline's Dark Circles Treatment Concealer for even more coverage. The lightweight formula is infused with Haloxyl, a peptide complex that's meant to reduce dark circles and tighten skin. Many reviewers say it's easy to blend with just your fingers, so you can ditch the brush if you want to!
A nail renewal formula to reverse any damage done by fungal infections, so it's essentially time travel in a bottle. The formula includes lactic acid, propylene glycol, and urea to help thicken, soothe, and reduce discoloration on your nails. Just apply twice a day for the first week, then once a day until your toes are looking good to go.
An internet-beloved pet urine stain–removing spray 84,000+ pet owners swear by — it's powerful enough to tackle the ~surprise~ your dog left behind when you came home way too late that one night. It'll also help neutralize odors, so your carpet will basically be as fresh and vibrant as the day you moved in.
A cult-favorite foot file that'll grind away at calluses and have your heels and toes looking silky smooth and ready to slip into your new summer sandals. There are many foot files out there, but more than 85,000 Amazon reviewers say this one works like a charm.
And a bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel — it's a major upgrade from other harsh formulas you may have tried in the past. Some callus-removing products will make the surrounding skin feel dry and irritated, but this one includes a healthy dose of glycerin to help soften and hydrate.
A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation 13,000+ 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!).
A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars packed with tons of vitamin C and tumeric — 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!
A screen-cleaning brush, because what good is all this sunshine if you can't even look out of the window and enjoy it?! If your window screens need a good deep cleaning, you can wet this with soap and water to break down stubborn grime. Then use it dry once you see any dirt start to accumulate — and be eternally grateful you won't have to search "screen window replacement services" any time soon.
A powerful spray that'll break down stubborn mold and mildew stains almost instantly. Just leave it on for about 15 seconds, then wipe away to reveal what your shower looked like before all the humidity took its toll or what your patio furniture looked like before you abandoned it all winter.
A pair of teeth-whitening pens, which are SO much easier to use than traditional white strips. Just swipe it on and let the gel sit for 30 minutes — and eventually, you'll see years and years of stains start to disappear. This is a must for all my fellow coffee connoisseurs.
A vegan ingrown hair oil so good at reducing post-shaving redness and irritation, you might just thank the UPS person who delivered your package every time you see them. The secret is tea tree oil (it'll help calm down any inflammation) and a blend of jojoba and grapeseed oil to add extra moisture and softness. And yes, it's designed to be safe to use on intimate areas! You don't have to tell the UPS person about that part, though.
A bottle of Burt's Bees sunburn lotion that will save the day when you forget to apply SPF during that finally-al-fresco brunch. The soothing blend of aloe and coconut oil will calm your skin down in no time.
An adorable polar bear hydrating eye stick — it's basically a venti iced coffee for your under-eye area. It features Iceland glacier water to help relieve the appearance of puffiness, and the niacinamide in the formula can provide a brightening effect to lessen the severity of dark circles. Also, reviewers love putting this lil' cutie in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation! I mean, it is a polar bear, after all — it only makes sense to keep it cold.
A pumice cleaning stone to break down all of the nastiness in your toilet and have it looking sparkly and presentable when you have last-minute guests over. Just wet it with water, get to scrubbing, then store it in the included carrying case until your next deep-cleaning session!
A cruelty-free lengthening Essence mascara with a whopping 266,000 5-star ratings and some seriously impressive before and after photos. Oh, did I mention it's UNDER $5?! Unlike other mascaras at similar price points, reviewers say this one doesn't easily clump or smudge throughout the day.
O'Keeffe's overnight lip repair cream — yes, it's from the brand behind the iconic Working Hands cream that thousands of reviewers swear by! Its blend of beeswax, shea butter, and almond oil works while you sleep to soften dead skin and add a nice dose of hydration. Prepare to get rid of your car, bedroom, bathroom, and purse lip balms — this one is all you need.
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.
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. One reviewer even said the results are comparable to Crown Affair's $40 hair oil!
A pack of cleaning erasers that only need water to remove stains — they're more affordable than name brands but still...um...magic, if you catch my drift. These little melamine sponges can quickly lift away tough stains, grease, soap scum, and anything else that your typical all-purpose cleaner just isn't tackling.
A tub of magical heavy-duty all-purpose cleaning wipes — they can remove everything from grease to tomato sauce stains almost instantly and with zero water required. They're also formulated with aloe and vitamin E, so they're gentle on your skin but still tough enough to remove all the gunk that's accumulated on your oven range hood.

Go Behind the Scenes With Eiza Gonzalez For the Dior Cruise 2026 Show
There are a million ways to spend a Tuesday evening, but attending a beautiful runway show at a historic villa in Rome is probably one of the best. In the midst of promoting her new film Fountain of Youth, Eiza Gonzalez jet-setted to Italy to attend the Dior cruise 2026 show. From start to finish, the event felt magical. 'I [am] a little fairy lost in Rome,' the actress tells ELLE. The presentation was held at the Villa Albani Torlonia and honored the legacy (and extravagant balls) of the countess Mimì Pecci-Blunt as well as the famed Italian movie and theater costumer Umberto Tirelli. The result was a perfectly cinematic experience capped off by a heartfelt standing ovation during Maria Grazia Chiuri's finale walk. And Gonzalez's look, a draped white gown, couldn't have been more on-theme. The actress wanted the ensemble to feel as ethereal and dreamy as her environment, from the statue-filled hotel to the villa's haunting gardens at night. The sweeping dress evoked classic Roman architecture and was complemented by a pair of classic Dior slingback heels and a My Dior mini bag, both in a subtle champagne color. For glam, Gonzalez kept the look cohesive, embracing warm pink tones, glowing skin, and bouncing curls. The actress was also in attendance with her Fountain of Youth co-star and longtime Dior ambassador Natalie Portman, who stepped out in an almost feather-like white sheer dress and pristine white riding coat.

The art-drenched city where you can sleep amongst the stars and fall in love
If you're a Londoner craving a romantic, art-drenched city break that's equal parts stylish and soul-stirring, allow me to introduce you to your next destination: Rome. But not just any Rome, Rome with a home base as refined as it is inspiring: art'otel Rome Piazza Sallustio, a five-star boutique hotel where luxury meets creativity, and where every corridor whispers with cultural intention. From the moment I stepped into the sleek lobby, just moments from Villa Borghese and Via Veneto, I knew this wasn't your standard five-star stay. The entrance to the hotel (Image: Poppy Huggett) The hotel is dripping with design, from the soft-lit art gallery showcasing a jaw-dropping collection by Signature Artist Pietro Ruffo, to the softly scented lounge areas that feel like a Milan Fashion Week afterparty, minus the chaos. The seating area in reception (Image: Poppy Huggett) Ruffo, whose collaborations include the likes of Dior and Valentino (and even the Vatican Library), lends his dreamy, constellation-inspired touch throughout the property including in the suite where I stayed, and where I may or may not have considered moving in permanently. I stayed in one of the junior suites - a spacious, chic sanctuary with a private balcony and a bed big enough to stage a small play. The junior suite (Image: Poppy Huggett) The kind of space where the Dyson Airwrap and Roberts Radio casually sit on your dressing table, as if to say: yes, we thought of everything. The bathroom was so glossy and marble-clad it felt like I was brushing my teeth inside a Botticelli painting. The junior suite and bathroom (Image: Poppy Huggett) After exploring our beautiful rooms of the trip, we were whisked away on a Vespa Side Cart Tour, and this was a fever dream. A pink Vespa was naturally my vehicle of choice (as a certified girly-girl), and by sheer cosmic coincidence, it happened to belong to our tour guide himself. The Vespa Side Cart Tour (Image: Poppy Huggett) With a professional driver at the wheel and our helmets securely fastened, we cruised through cobbled side streets that suddenly opened up to breath taking views of iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, and Castel Sant'Angelo. The Colosseum (Image: Poppy Huggett) The sun was shining, the wind in my hair was very Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, and by the time we stopped for gelato and pastries with a splash of Aperol Spritz, I was wishing to the Roman gods that this could become my full-time lifestyle. I had my 'Lizzie McGuire' moment (Image: Poppy Huggett) Later, we found ourselves at one of the world's most talked-about locations - the Vatican City. The gardens of the Vatican City (Image: Poppy Huggett) Led by our guide Matteo, we wandered through centuries of religious history, learned about the papal conclave and even stood beneath Michelangelo's ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. I've never been an art enthusiast, but something about seeing the story painted across that ceiling moved me in a way I didn't expect. My favourite artwork at the Vatican City (Image: Poppy Huggett) Dinner that night was at Fiaschetteria Marin, an old-school Roman restaurant with wooden furniture and candlelit corners. We shared plates of cured meats, vegetables, and my first (glorious) carbonara of the trip. Fiaschetteria Marin sharing plates (Image: Poppy Huggett) Breakfast at art'otel the next morning set the tone: Eggs Benedict, sugared doughnuts, fruit, and a cinnamon latte that could bring the dead back to life. Breakfast at art'otel (Image: Poppy Huggett) After a leisurely morning of wandering around the Spanish Steps and indulging in a little self-timed touristy glamour, it was time to get floury. In the process of making my own Tiramisu (Image: Poppy Huggett) We joined a cooking class with InRome Cooking near Piazza Navona, where I made tiramisu and two types of pasta from scratch under the guidance of a passionate chef. InRome cooking class (Image: Poppy Huggett) Prosecco flowed, aprons were donned, and by the end of it, I had somehow produced restaurant-worthy carbonara and an espresso-soaked dessert that my nonna would be super proud of. My freshly made pasta dishes of the day (Image: Poppy Huggett) Back at art'otel, we were later treated to a private art tour led by Pietro Ruffo himself. He walked us through the collection, including installations inspired by constellations, maps of the modern world, and the poetic tension between nature and architecture. Pietro Ruffo showing us his artwork in the lobby of art'otel (Image: Poppy Huggett) Seeing the Cancer-themed penthouse and the moving video installation in the gallery added layers of meaning to our stay; this hotel isn't just a place to sleep; it's a place to feel. Dinner was at the hotel's YEZI Restaurant & Bar, which serves refined Asian dishes with theatrical flair. A mouth watering mix of ribs and chicken shawarma (Image: Poppy Huggett) The duck spring rolls were standout, but the dessert - a misty, dry-ice-covered display of ice cream and creams - felt like floating through a Willy Wonka dream. The immersive final dessert (Image: Poppy Huggett) Paired with the perfect wine and warm, thoughtful service, it was my favourite meal of the entire trip. Our final day was no wind-down as we were back in the streets early, snapping pictures of the Trevi Fountain (yes, I threw a coin and made a wish) and joining Francesca, our lively guide for a Roman Street Food Tour. The Trevi Fountain is a go-to tourist spot (Image: Poppy Huggett) We sampled meats at a local market, devoured slice(s) of crisp margherita pizza, and learned about the city's Jewish quarter and its wartime history. The afternoon ended on a high: a gelato cone of cookies and cream, eaten in the sun. We ended the trip with a classic Gelato (Image: Poppy Huggett) Rome is a dream for art lovers, foodies, history buffs, and hopeless romantics. But what makes this trip stand out is art'otel Rome Piazza Sallustio. The Roman food tour (Image: Poppy Huggett) It offers the elegance and design savvy that Londoners appreciate, while delivering warmth, authenticity, and unexpected joy in every detail. Grab the Vespa helmet, leave the umbrella, and go find your la dolce vita in Rome this summer.
