As Chappell Roan says, "Good luck, babe."
1. Bioclean, to bring your glass doors, faucets, and shower heads back to their "what once was" state of clean. Now, with no more hard water stains or gross tile, you can go back to 🎶 singing in the shower 🎶 without a big ol' yikes in between the chorus and the verse.
Promising review: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must buy product!!!!" — Laura
Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter
Get it from Amazon for $19.77.
2. A pomade hair wax stick so you can sllliiicccckkkk back those flyaways and make sure your Hailey Bieber-inspired look stays all day and night. It's less messy than gel or pomade and can fit in your bag for on-the-go touchups.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"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
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in multipacks).
3. A pack of duster sponges that might just be dust's worst enemy. All you gotta do is dampen it, wipe, and rinse! The ridged surface grabs all that grossness and it's reusable, which is way more eco-friendly than using wasteful paper towels.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia
Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs).
4. A compact Levoit air purifier because you're starting to question if allergy season is year-round at this point since you're sneezing every. single. day. This will help remove all that dust, pollen, and pet dander that's floating in the air. Plus, it can help your home smell fresher too!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1200 sf Townhouse and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3-4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought 2 of the smaller version of this same purifier for the 2 bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine they don't work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms too. I've had all 3 purifiers going 24/7 for 4 months now and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all these purifiers have been very economical to use." — SuesZoo
Promising review: "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy
Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $74+ (available in two colors, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft. for $39.97.
5. A pair of Nippies for when you don't want to fully "free the nipple" but still love the freedom of not wearing a bra. These reusable nipple covers can stay on for up to 12 hours and are so sleek and seamless compared to normal strapless bras or other nipple covers that can cramp your style.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I've tried so many nipple covers over the years, and these are just in a league of their own! They stick and don't move (sweat, clothes, moisturizer, etc. — nothing budges them), but then they peel off so easily. It's magic. They are completely seamless, and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin. I've got quite 'triangular' boobs, and they completely mold to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I'm suuuuuper cold does any level of nipple start to show through, and even then, it's minimal. They're more pricey than others I've bought before but so worth it. The others were one and done — these have held up through several wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase them as soon as they wear out, without a doubt! No more bras!" — Alison
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more.
Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades and three sizes: one that fits cups A–C, one that fits cups D+, and one that fits cups DD+; also available in a style with a lifting effect).
6. The TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green, which works ✨wonders✨ on your couches, carpets, and other upholstery items since it literally sucks up dirt, stubborn stains, and any other nasty spills that have worked their way into your life. Forget calling the pros — this little green powerhouse is way more affordable and just as effective.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I'd bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don't even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning but I actually enjoy using this — it's so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." — April Bond
Promising review:"Pet owner life saver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. I t's so easy to use, and minimizes the yuck factor dealing with pet stains. That's important to me because I hate to tackle cleaning jobs like this. It's compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it's not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. You Tube has some great tips on video." — Zona lady
Get it from Amazon for $99.98.
7. The Pink Stuff with the power to remove dirt, oil, grime, rust, and stains from pretty much any surface. You'll be surprised that the ingredient list doesn't just say "magic" since it brings your things (stoves, pans, sinks, etc.) back to life with little to no elbow grease required.
Promising review:"This plus a Scrub Daddy is a cleaner's heaven. This stuff is amazing. I like this way more than the spray version of it, I think the clay deep cleans way better and I don't have to use as much. It smells kind of like clay, too, but it's not a bad smell. I've always hated cleaning the oven but this makes it an ease." — Jaiden
Promising review: "Had stains in the bathtub I could not remove for years. First time using this, the stains are gone. Pretty easy to use with Scrubb Daddy. I hate cleaning. This is a miracle product for me. And no I did not get paid to write this review. If you want stains gone from your bathtub use this. Your life will be made so much easier. Don't believe me. I don't care. Your loss, not mine." — Patricia C Tinney
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
8. Wet & Forget shower cleaner because we'd all like to think our shower is clean (since we're literally cleaning ourselves in it), but the hard truth is that it does need a deep clean every now and then. This'll remove soap scum and hard water deposits, leaving your shower sparkling clean when all you did was apply, walk away, and rinse off the next day.
Plusssss.... it's bleach-free, so no harsh smells!
Promising review: "Let me be clear, I HATE cleaning the bathroom, all aspects of it, including the shower. At the same time, I HATE a dirty bathroom, especially the shower, since I got Lasik and can clearly see the filth and scum that until now was there but invisible to my blind eyes. Along comes Wet & Forget and holy shiny tile Batman, this stuff works! I use it weekly (unless I forget, which is part of its name oddly enough) and it really looks like I used some brute force to bring my shower to it's original glory. Get it, use it.....but dang it, don't forget it!" — Randy Bassett
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
9. A migraine relief cap for those times when all you can really say to sum up your work day is, "Today drained me." You can toss this in the freezer or in the microwave, depending on what kind of relief you're going for. And some reviewers say that it's so comfortable they even fall asleep with it on!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I heard about it on TikTok, and I was skeptical. I put it in the freezer as soon as I got it in the mail. Then, out of nowhere, I felt a headache coming on. I pulled it out of the freezer, slipped it on, and I passed out. When I woke up, my migraine was gone. I now go to bed with it on almost every night. I love that it's a blackout mask. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!" — TheWalkFam
Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in five colors and two-packs).
10. A Clorox toilet cleaning kit that'll be the #1 product when it comes to cleaning where you go #1 and #2. Not only does this come with a wand and storage caddy, it comes with extra refills of the disposable sponges that are infused with the cleaning liquid. Plus, the release button on the wand allows you to easily throw away the sponges without actually touching the sponge!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
11. A mouthguard and retainer cleaner for anyone whose Invisalign, retainer, or mouthguard is looking anything but clear. Now why should you put a funky-smelling retainer in your mouth right after you just brushed your teeth for the night? Pop one of these into a glass of water and soak your mouthpiece for a cleaner, fresher taste!
Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R.
Get a pack of 120 tablets from Amazon for $21.81 (also available as pack of 60 or 240 tablets).
12. A carpet spot cleaning spray that'll turn those post-spill gasps into squeals of excitement when the stains suddenly disappear. So when you have a Kevin's Famous Chili moment like he did in The Office, you can pretend it never even happened after using this spray!
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).
13. A ChomChom pet hair roller if every piece of furniture and clothing in your house is a not-so-subtle reminder that your fur baby sheds like there's no tomorrow. No need to be wasteful or waste money with those sticky adhesive papers because this roller can be used over and over again. All you need to do is just roll, watch the fur disappear, and easily empty it out for a super fast cleanup!
Promising review: " We have two cats, one with long white hair who sheds a lot. I use this mostly on my furniture, comforter, and area rugs. It works wonderfully and is so easy to clean. Love that there is no sticky paper to throw away. A must-have for pet owners." — Steve Fadelli
Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true; you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three styles).
14. A genius veggie chopper that turns tedious food prep into simple seconds of fun. Lay your food on the blades and channel your inner karate kid — HI-YAH... chopped veggies at your service. This will make your kitchen tasks and cleanup a whole lot easier.
This comes with different blade attachments and a cleaning brush!
Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action.
Promising review:"This is one of my absolute favorite kitchen tools! This is right up there with my stand mixer. I save hours a week using this for dinner prep. I HATE cutting up veggies for dinner and this makes it fast and fun! I can't believe I didn't buy one years ago. This is worth every penny. Easy to use and I can just throw it in my dishwasher for clean up. I'm obsessed. I will be buying these as gifts. This is an absolute must-have for everyone." — Reviewer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five sizes and five colors).
15. And a popular grape cutter because you've seen the "hack" of putting grapes in between two plates and slicing horizontally, but it wasn't that easy. This'll cut your snacks bite-size pieces *and* cut down on the amount of effort you put into snack time.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" Must have if you have toddlers. I wish I had known of this sooner. Has made it so much easier to cut grapes for my toddler. Now, I can do it one-handed when my LO won't let me set him down to cut the fruit. I have also used it to cut blueberries and blackberries." — Crystal Albertin
Get it from Amazon for $11.76.
16. A doctor-recommended Squatty Potty so you don't have to get down in the ~dumps~ when you're having a hard time going #2. This elevates your legs to a more natural position so you can do your business quickly and comfortably.

Promising review:"I'll do you all the courtesy of NOT adding a photo or video (You're welcome). This works. Whoever invented the toilet had their heart in the right place, but not their knees. This device mimics proper positioning, and you should get one. That is all. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk." — P.W.
Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in three styles). For a more ~aesthetic~ throne, splurge on the acrylic version for $79.99 or the bamboo wood version for $36.98.

Just swipe this on and watch how it magically removes all the excess oil. And unlike blotting papers, you can wash and reuse the roller, and it fits perfectly in your purse!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $8.24.
18. This sulfate-free biotin shampoo that promotes hair growth over time and moisturizes your locks thanks to rosemary oil, zinc, and coconut oil. Some reviewers said that they were initially skeptical, but after the results they saw, they're never going back!
www.amazon.com
Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not a fan of the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff
Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in three scents and three sizes).
19. A keloid reducer for anyone who wants to get rid of that little "accessory," aka the keloid that gets in the way of them fully enjoying their newest piercing. This will help stop the bump in its tracks, reduce its size, and let the piercing actually heal how it should.
Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this 2–3 times a day, be patient, and you'll start to see the results.
Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it and in less than two weeks my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" — Jordan Caprigno
Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).
20. A clip-on silicone colander because "I don't need a strainer, I can just pour it out carefully" sounded like a fine idea until all your noodles are down the drain, and you now have to make a new dinner. This fits on pans, pots, and bowls and lets you strain out excess water without fear of losing your food.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Abby Kass loves this: "It is such a game changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it's fit every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!"
Promising review:"Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I'll be ordering another! It's very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" — Freyja
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors).
21. A car seat gap filler to prevent your phone or sunglasses from falling into the deep, dark abyss known as the space between your seat and the center console.
www.amazon.com
Drop Stop is a small business that specializes in car accessories.
Promising review:"I just don't understand why I didn't buy this sooner. It's one of those things that you're not really sure why you need it, but once you have it, you can't live without it. It saved my poor arm from having to dig my keys, cell phone, pens, french fries, hair ties, you-name-it from between the seat gap. Seriously, it's awesome." — Sara G-M.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
22. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads since the single-use disposable pads are (1) expensive and (2) literally never stay attached to your Swiffer. These are machine washable, so you can reuse them as much as you need, and the velcro makes sure they stay on while you get all that dust and dirt around the house.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads.
Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet, and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time-use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored. I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross
Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95.
23. A splurge-worthy rapid cold brew maker that saves you from having to prep your cup o' joe the night before. This makes 40 ounces of ice-cold coffee in under nine minutes and is super easy to clean!
Check out a TikTok of the rapid cold brew maker in action.
Promising review: "I like cold brew year round and this may be my favorite method/machine yet! It's so easy to assemble, use, and clean. In about 15 minutes I was impressed with how rich and bold the brew was, with no grounds like others I've tried. It looks great on my kitchen counter. It's lightweight and stable with the base suction cups. It makes a little noise but much less than I expected (and less than my Nespresso machine)." — Liz
Get it from Amazon for $97.99.
24. A pack of six self-adhesive cable clips so you don't have to throw out your back trying to get your cord that fell behind your desk. Plus, they help keep your cables less tangled!
www.amazon.com

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $3.99 (available in three color sets).
25. Downy Wrinkle Releaser fabric spray to turn your clothing from looking crunchy to fresh and crisp in a matter of minutes. Spray, shake out the clothing, and see how your clothes magically look ironed even when you didn't have the time or patience to iron. (Who does these days???)
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw someone talking about this on a travel site and purchased the travel size versions to take with me this summer to help with a month worth of travels through europe. It works better than I ever imagined and the travel size was perfect. I've now purchased a large size to keep at home for every day last minute wrinkles before heading out." — CS
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
26. A pack of vacuum-free space-saving compression bags, which are a lifesaver and literal space saver because all you do is zip up your clothes, roll, and voila! You just fit all of those cute vacay fits you so carefully planned out into just your carry-on. Say whhaaaaa----?!?!
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny."
Promising review: "I travel monthly for work, usually gone for 4–5 days. Before these, I would have to check a bag. Dress shirts and pants roll up nicely and stay wrinkle free. It's tempting to want to over-stuff these, but if you're packing golf shirts or cloths with 'slippery' fabric, they slide out of the top of the bag as you get close to the end. The clips take a minute to get used to, but after a couple of times zipping up the bags, it's pretty easy." — BigSkinny
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $15.98.
27. A compact I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo if your hair has been looking like it's been a while since wash day. Tap this on to say goodbye to greasy roots and make it look like your hair got a nice lil' refresh. Plus, this is TSA-friendly which makes it great for traveling.
Amazon
This powder shampoo is benzene-free!
Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa
Get it from Amazon for $18.
28. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — it's a lightweight color-adapting formula infused with hyaluronic acid and shea butter to nourish the skin and give you a radiant glow. This seamlessly blends into the skin and brightens those under eye circles making it look like they were never there in the first place!
www.amazon.com
The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone.
Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Monica T.
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
29. Lumify Eye Drops, which help reduce redness and brighten up your eyes in just one minute! These are meant to last for up to eight hours, and reviewers say these are worth the price!
www.amazon.com
Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.
Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I've used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
Get it from Amazon for $14.49.
30. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution because nothing is more annoying than feeling that day one smoothness right after shaving, and then day two rolls around with razor bumps, razor burn, and ingrown hairs. Apply this right after shaving to help prevent future irritation as well as combat the hairs that seem to never give you a break.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"After many years of razor burn on my face/neck, I finally broke down and bought this per a friend's recommendation. I have sensitive skin and had given up hope that anything could help. This totally changed my outlook on shaving. My neck especially would be the worst. I dab it on immediately after I rinse and dry, post-shave. It does burn a bit but that goes away pretty quickly. Totally worth it to not have razor burn/bumps anymore. I only apply it once after shaving even though the directions recommend repeat applications the following day. Go ahead and purchase, you won't be disappointed!" — bill nye

Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. The subtle gardenia scent is just extra extra credit after all that. A tinted lip balm that's eerily close to the same magic as "Black Honey," TikTok's beloved $25 ~universal shade~ from Clinique, that it will genuinely startle you — especially when you see the price. This is a perfect, non-sticky "go-to" lippie that's just a step above the "no makeup makeup" look, giving the perfect subtly polished effect. Laneige's Neo Blurring Powder absorbs oil and blurs pores so effectively that you'll be like, "Oh ... witchcraft??" Might be the only explanation for how this can matte-ify your complexion while still keeping it radiant and glowy. ✨ Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a beloved K-beauty staple reviewers compare to the $46 Gisou version for MEGA hair hydration and heat protection up to 450 degrees, so you can style your hair without sacrificing on ✨shine✨. This unique blend of seven-oil blend Moroccan argan, olive, coconut, apricot, Marula, jojoba, and camellia oil not only protects hair, but helps correct damage from dryness, *and* reduces drying time. The Ordinary Caffeine Solution for the *ultimate* in eye-depuffing relief — this serum works over time to brighten dark circles and tired eyes so you can look fresh as a daisy, even on nights when you're Liz Lemon-ing and ~working on your night cheeeeese~ a little later than you planned. And Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.

And Olay's Firming Body Lotion full of collagen peptides and a Vitamin B3 complex for *ultra* hydrating relief that's also designed to visibly plump, firm, and moisturize your skin — all at a fraction of the price of other firming lotions, like the internet's beloved $48 Elasti-Cream. Color Wow's "Raise The Root" thickening and lifting spray gives your hair some instant ~~VAVOOM~~, no teasing or heat styling gymnastics required.

It's also sensitive-skin friendly, with reviewers on tretinoin swearing by it for extra protection. Did someone say ... HOLY GRAIL?? And Hawaiian Tropic's SPF 30 Mineral Powder Sunscreen Brush, aka your scalp's BFF this summer — reviewers don't just swear by this for face coverage and a protective setting powder, but for protecting their hairline without their hair getting goopy from sunscreen scalp sprays or regular sunscreen lotion. Bonus — this is a heck of a lot cheaper than its competitors, like the $35 Supergoop and $36 Brush On Block! E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. Eos' Cashmere Skin Collection Shave Oil — yes, that's right, the astronomically TikTok-famous Eos "cashmere" body lotion now comes in shave oil form, so you can lock in that ridiculously compelling whipped vanilla, musk, and soft caramel scent *and* protect your skin from razor burn.

Reviewers swear by these for gently lifting out sebum from pores and pimples and minimizing their appearance! Medicube Turmeric Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Mask, which has already made itself a TikTok sensation — unsurprising, since the K-Beauty brand Medicube knocks it out of the park again and again. This mask goes on before bed and uses hydrolyzed collagen, vitamin C, and turmeric to help even out skin tone and improve elasticity. Maybelline Superfluff Volumizing Brow Mousse gives your brows all the professional-level ~~vavoom~~ they deserve. This easy-to-use, buildable brow applicator lightly fluffs and tames brows to give them a fuller, softer appearance, giving them that laminated look without the expensive treatment.

Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Boldify Hairline Powder for anyone who's like, "Hmmm. Wasn't there ... a lot more hair there before??" when they're styling their roots. This "makeup for hair" helps effortlessly fill in the gaps in your hairline so you don't have style around it. Reviewers also swear by this for touching up their roots between appointments! Essence Loose Setting Powder Trio for three handy products for less than $5 — it's sectioned into different powders for brightening, color-correcting, and mattifying, so you can mix and match the shades to personalize your coverage based on your skin's needs. Dae's Hair Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream & Taming Wand, which is basically the brand's "holy grail," TikTok-famous styling cream in the form of a mascara wand. This versatile lil' tool helps you carefully target flyaways, style edges, and smooth frizz. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion for anyone who has had their fill of acne stickers and wants a more effective solution for overnight zit care. Just dab a constellation of this over your blemishes to help dry them out and reduce redness while you snooze. This gets extra points for being sensitive skin-friendly and easy to use! A painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen reviewers swear by as an alternative to pricey professional treatments and strips. This gets results from the very first use, lightening up years' worth of stains from coffee, tea, wine, or just, you know, existing as a human with teeth. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation. A reviewer-beloved (and makeup artist–beloved!) beauty sponge blender that rolled up and ate up all the expensive name-brand versions for breakfast. This is firm and smooth when you use it dry for powder applications, and soft and flexible when you wet it for creams and liquids, making it the ultimate versatile sponge in your beauty trove ... for a mere $4 (!!) compared to the $20 BeautyBlender version. A shockingly affordable "Glow Up!" Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a punch as powerful as the $30+ versions — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration. The Face Shop's Rice Water Bright Foaming Facial Cleanser, a gentle, cult-fave Korean beauty product reviewers swear by as an alternative to the pricey Tatcha Rice Wash. This hydrating cleanser removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease, has an ohhhh-so-satisfying lather, and leaves skin moisturized after use. A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus. E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm for all the ultra fans of Summer Fridays, Rhode, and Laneige whose bank accounts are begging them to put a stop to the lippie madness. These new deliciously tinted, moisturizing, buildable glosses are just as buttery and decadent as the balms that inspired them, for a fraction of the price. (Brb, drowning myself in the "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Vanilla Toffee" flavors.)

'Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love' offers fresh perspective on disability, reimagines genetic impairments as a sacred purpose
A spiritual being who joins humanity in times of crisis travels back into her own earthly family lineage GATTON, Australia, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Celebrating three decades as one of the country's most prestigious literary events, the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books brought together readers, authors and publishers from around the world. Among the featured titles was El Alma's "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" (published by Balboa Press AU), a poignant novel that resonates deeply with readers seeking solace, reflection and spiritual connection. The book tells the story of Asina, a soul who agrees to enter the world in an impaired body, alongside others in her soul family. Known as gentling souls, they descend to Earth with a mission: to enrich the world with compassion, tenderness and unconditional love amid transformative eras of materialism, violence and war. Through dreams and visions, Asina embodies her great-grandmother Hana as a child in a past life and travels between the eras to tell a family saga that spans the 1800s to the present time. She experiences life through the eyes of her ancestors and witnesses them facing fear and ridicule from society because of their conditions. In the end, Asina comes to realize the higher purpose as to why the impairment exists in her family. "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" challenges societal norms by asserting a spiritual purpose for living with neurogenetic impairments. Rather than presenting disability as a narrative obstacle or medical condition, the book portrays it as an intentional and divine choice — made with love, before birth, to help restore balance and empathy in a harsh world. "I chose not to write research papers but to write from a deeper level so the readers can grasp the enormity of living and loving disabilities," the author shares. "I would like readers to develop a deeper experience of what it is like to encounter disabilities within society with an understanding of how to relate to a person with a disability and to see them from a different perspective than they maybe had previously." "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" was first published in 2023 is now available for purchase through "Gentling Soul: A Legacy of Love" By El Alma Softcover | 6 x 9in | 132 pages | ISBN 9781982298340 E-Book | 132 pages | ISBN 9781982298357 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble About the Author El Alma holds a bachelor's degree in psychological science and a master's in counselling (disabilities). With over 30 years of experience working with families navigating grief, trauma and life after a disability diagnosis, she brings compassionate insight and spiritual depth to her writing. Her previous work, "Becoming Soul – Seven Steps to Heaven," is a multi-award-winning parable. Now semi-retired, El Alma offers spiritual guidance and lives peacefully in country Australia with her husband of 56 years.
