38 Revolutionary Products That Will Rocket You Into The Future
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Future you will be so grateful you invested in these clever inventions. 1. A mosquito repeller that works in 15 minutes to scare away buzzing pests in a 10- to 15-foot radius. It releases an odorless repellent into the air that's people- and pet-friendly. Just think: no sprays, no stinky bracelets, no gross candles — just good vibes. Amazon Promising review: "New Orleans is apparently in the top 10 of cities with biting bugs/insects; however, you wouldn't notice if you bought this Thermacell. Give it a good 15 minutes to start up, then hang out outside and give it a try. In the past month (summertime), I've seen one mosquito, and it quickly flew away. That's it. It claims a 15-foot area of protection, but I think that might be a bit optimistic. I set it between my family on our back porch, and we're protected, but if any of us veer much beyond about 10 feet, the bugs will find you. It's still a testament to Thermacell's effectiveness. It works." — X8842 Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 10 colors and packs of two). 2. A Roborock robotic vacuum, because if robots are going to take our jobs, it might as well be the worst ones. It'll clean your floors *and* empty itself when it's done! BuzzFeed editor Daniel Boan has and loves this robot vac: "I've always wanted a robotic vacuum, and after getting a chance to try the Roborock Q5+, I can't believe I waited so long. I absolutely hate vacuuming, so the ability to have a magical little robot clean my entire apartment at the touch of a button is an absolute lifesaver. The accompanying app is very easy to use — I typically use it to set up custom cleaning schedules — and the smart mapping feature was extremely accurate on the very first try. There are definitely cheaper options on the market, but what makes this worth the extra splurge is the self-emptying feature. Once the robotic vacuum is done cleaning, it finds its way back to the charging base and empties itself into a dust bag that lasts for up to seven weeks. My apartment has never been cleaner!" Promising review: "This thing runs without a hiccup every time. With kids and dogs in the house, things get messy. This vacuum handles it all with grace, my floors end up always clean and grit-free. I love that it doesn't bang into furniture either. The sensors do a great job with identifying obstacles, walls, furniture, people, dogs, etc. so it doesn't actually bump into stuff to identify its surroundings." — Kaeli Get it from Amazon for $239.99+ (available in three models). 3. Or a bagless, touchless stationary vacuum for anyone who wants to feel like a member of the Jetsons. While it won't clean your whole home like Rosey, it'll act as a super effective replacement for a dust pan. Just sweep dirt over to the machine, and it'll suck it right up. EyeVac is a small business that specializes in vacuums for home and commercial use. Promising reviews:"I love the way it just sucks up the dog hair, crumbs, etc. The auto mode is great, but I had to place mine under a table because every time the dog walked by, it would go off and scare the heck out of her. I think it's a great product and value." — Deb "I bought this to keep next to my toddler's high chair because I was sick and tired of bending over to clean up all her insane amounts of food and debris that she drops on the floor with every meal. This thing works so great! All I do is sweep it all in, and it sucks everything right up. It sucks up tiny little crumbs and really big chunks of wet food like macaroni alike. It has made my life so much easier, and my floor is so much cleaner. So easy to use!" — Patti Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in three colors). 4. A glow-in-the-dark protective Fire TV Stick case so you can actually find that sneaky device, even in the dark during movie night. I know you yearn for a future where you don't have to upturn all your furniture every time you need to pause your show. This is compatible with the Fire TV Stick 4K, Alexa-voice Remote (3rd Generation), and the Fire TV Stick (3rd Generation 2021). Check out a TikTok of the glow-in-the-dark case in action. Promising review: "It's a thin silicone case that slips right on and has holes for all buttons and the microphone in the right places. It also has raised dots on the back to make it easy to grip. With the easy-to-see color, I no longer lose my remote in the couch cushions. Highly recommend." — S. Mizrahi Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors). 5. Listerine Cool Mint pocket sprays with an elevated, ergonomic design that makes it easier to carry around than mints or gum. The non-aerosol mister has about 140 refreshing sprays and has a convenient shape that lets you add it to a carabiner or key ring. Coffee breath will be but a distant memory. Promising review: "I love these. I put them on my keychain. They're small enough to fit in a small purse/clutch. Although it's small, you get a good amount of sprays out of them. Perfect for when you are on the go or need a quick pick-me-up." — Janay B. Get a pair from Amazon for $5.72 (also available in other pack sizes). 6. A set of special stickers that tell you when it's time to reapply sunscreen. Cover it (and your skin, of course) with sunscreen, and the sticker will turn clear. When it turns purple, you know it's time for another generous coating of sun protection. Take that, sun! We will not be burning this summer. Promising review:"Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application, and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun, it turns purple. If you use sunblock, it starts to become clear or semi-clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times, the spot started seeing purple, and I applied sunblock again. In a minute, the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply." — RGTorque Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $15.99. 7. A birdfeeder with a built-in camera so you can spy on your feathered friends and make notes on the avian goings-on. The camera has an AI system that can identify over 6,000 bird species, so you'll never have to argue whether the bird that visited was a goldfinch or an Eastern meadowlark. They can opt for notifications when birds come to visit (reviewers note that can be overwhelming if they have a lot of birds in the area) and save videos for later. The videos are high-def and have night vision so they can see every feather on that cardinal's head. Promising review: "Got this for my 95-year-old dad. He loves watching the feed of the birds come to visit, and I get to watch his feed from my home, too. I recommend this for any bird lover." — Cathy W Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in two colors and a solar AI feature). 8. A fancy automatic spice grinder that'll make quick work of peppercorns, sea salt, dried garlic, sesame seeds, and other seasonings. It comes with interchangeable pods that click in and out, so you can swap out spices as needed. Every dish moving forward is going to be soooo perfectly peppery. It comes with a grinder and two interchangeable pods. Former BuzzFeed editor Kayla Suazo has this grinder and has this to say about it: "I just got one of these snazzy kitchen gadgets, and now every time I use it, I think to myself, "How was I living life before this thing?!" It finely grinds salt down to that nice flaky texture, and then easy pops out the pod if I want to use pepper. I even got a different type of pod ideal for more oily spices (think mustard or flax seed). Now I am looking for reasons to use this thing... Salt on cake???" Promising review: "Product is out of this world good. Easy to use and makes seasoning food a joy. Each pod can be kept filled with one spice. I keep multicolored peppercorns in one, chunky Himalayan salt crystals in another, and small dried hot peppers in a third. Would definitely buy again. Highly recommended." — A.J. Vera Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in seven colors). 9. A smokeless tabletop firepit if you love a nice bonfire in the spring but hate the smoke burning your eyes and stinking up your clothing. The dual-wall design pulls air out of the exterior holes and then pushes it back into the stove through the interior holes to create a secondary burn, which results in considerably less smoke. Bonus: Add a color-changing packet for rainbow flames. Amazon This is a great option for smaller areas like balconies and gardens. It provides warmth, cozy vibes, and, of course, a place to cook s'mores (just don't do that if you're using color-changing packets). Promising review: "As a piece to provide some warmth and entertainment to friends or guests outdoors, this is a great product. As someone who once owned a Biolite camp stove, I was a believer that the only way to efficiently and completely burn wood to fine ash was by using the airflow fan of the Biolite camp stove. Well, by golly, Solo Stove has proven me wrong. Fans and electricity have been proven to not be necessary. The Solo Stove Mesa is able to burn wood incredibly efficiently. A very solid product overall. I look forward to buying a wood-burning cooking stove from Solo Stove sometime in the future." — William J Blackburn Get it from Amazon for $69.94+ (available in three sizes and nine colors). 10. A wireless transmitter that'll connect your AirPods (or any other wireless headphones) to the headphone jack on the flight so you can get access to the free entertainment without having to use those tinny-sounding earbuds they offer during flights. The standard edition allows you to connect one pair of headphones and lasts for 20+ hours on a single charge. It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual. Promising review:"This product worked flawlessly! I travel often for work, and hated that I couldn't use my Apple AirPods on the airplane to watch in-screen entertainment movies, until I discovered the AirFly Pro. I paired these with a dummy device before traveling in order to create the initial connection. Once I got on the airplane, I plugged the AirFly Pro transmitter into the headphone jack, turned on my AirPods, and it instantly connected. I would happily recommend these again. Thanks again!" — Bill Get the standard model from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and also a Pro version that allows you to connect two headphones and has longer battery life, and a Pro Deluxe version that adds a receive mode and comes with extra accessories). 11. A wireless scanning pen perfect for the pro notetaker. This futuristic device scans 3,000 characters per minute — basically a line of text in a second — so you can transfer text straight from your books to your computer faster than you can say, "Will there be extra credit?" It can also translate 40 languages and even read text back to you as it scans. What an A+ shopper you are! The scanner works with any device that can connect to Bluetooth 4.0 or higher. See a TikTok of the scanning pen in action. Promising review: "This is quite possibly the best product I have ever bought. It has cut my flashcard-making time down by at least half. I ordered it thinking it might be okay, but it worked way better than I ever expected it to. Once you learn how to use it (which doesn't take that much time) and scan at the right speed and angle, the mistakes will be minimal. There are still far fewer mistakes than when I just type it myself, and it is way faster than typing. This has completely changed my entire school experience. On top of that, the customer service is great. I got a new computer and couldn't find the product key to reinstall it. I sent them an email, and I got a new product key in a few hours. Anyone who makes flashcards on a computer needs to buy this product." — Josh Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in five colors). 12. A can of fire extinguishing spray way easier to use when you're busy freaking out like a Sim because your eggs caught on fire. This thing takes up less room and requires no complicated pin removal, so you can extinguish flames as fast as they appear. Hopefully you won't need this in the future, but the peace of mind will be quite nice! Promising review:"I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy to use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it's so much easier to grab this and use it, and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don't have time to remember a three step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I'm not a firefighter! I'd really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn't it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life, and your house." — K. Zander Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 13. A smudge-correcting clear nail polish for the next time you do your nails and then realize you have to pee right away. Now you can risk a couple of crinkled nails and be rest assured that a solution is one swipe away. Amazon Londontown is a small business that sells creative nail products. Promising review:"Londontown has become my new favorite brand. Their products really work and my nails are much better for it. After spending all the time doing a manicure, occasionally you get a smudge. NOW you can easily fix that little area, NO PROBLEM. I'm going to always buy their products, I'm hooked." — Jolie Get it from Amazon for $20. 14. A pack of Miracle-Gro water storing crystals that'll prevent both under- *and* over-watering, which I believe are the top two killers of plants. When you water your houseplants, the crystals retain the moisture and release it as the soil dries. Crystals — what can't they do? In the future, nothing. This works for both indoor and outdoor plants. Promising review: "I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn't water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount." — Pattijwr Get it from Amazon for $11.42 (also available in multipacks). 15. A power strip with an ultra-thin outlet cover so you can enjoy all your ports without dealing with bulky cords getting in the way of keeping your furniture flush to the wall. Promising review:"The design of this is great. I always hated putting plugs behind furniture and either not using the plug, or the furniture being inches away from the wall. This is the perfect solution. I have a few of these now behind couches and dressers in the house and they are great. This is more expensive than some other flat extension cords but I think the look and quality of these is worth it." — Adam C. Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in four sizes and two styles). 16. A clever 2-in-1 knife and cutting board for when you want to quickly cut like, one thing. The scissor-like device offers a built-in surface for your food to rest on, so you can slice things directly over a bowl and *without* having to wash a cutting board. Slice scallions over your salad, snip up some steak for your sandwich, or just cut a single lemon for squeezing. Amazon YES, that is a picture of the tool cutting through an avocado pit. No reviewers mention trying this feat, so recreate at your own risk. Ronan is a small business that specializes in multipurpose tools for home use. Promising review:"This is a kitchen must-have. We use it all the time — it's so easy to use that even our kids use it. Very durable blade that continues to perform and get value for your money." — Dawn R. Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 17. A Revlon hot air brush over 400,000 5-star raters (!!!) love for its ability to create blowout-level looks right at home. Once you see how easy it is to get glossy, effortless waves without the spendy salon visit, you'll never go back. Promising reviews:"I am a licensed cosmetologist of 30+ years, and I couldn't be more pleased! Salon-perfect, shiny, bouncy blowouts! Dries and styles in one or two easy passes ( on damp hair) and provides maximum lift if I style it that way. Easily dries and styles large sections of hair, making this THE BEST hairstyling tool! Highly recommend! I use the low setting and cool blast. Surprised and very happy that I don't need med/high settings. The only caveat I have come across so far is that the temp/speed setting is in an awkward place to be able to change it while using it. Learning curve, I suppose. Otherwise, another GREAT styling tool from Revlon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️" — ERJ "This review is for all the Black women looking for a good blow-dryer for their hair. I have 4c (mainly) natural hair and got tired of using the regular dryers because they made my arms tired. I have thick, long hair, so blow-drying takes forever for me. This blow dryer was wonderful. I didn't even have to detangle before using it, and it dried my hair very nicely. I love it so much. My only complaint is it is bigger than I expected it to be. A little bulky, but I will get used to it. Overall, I am loving this hair dryer so far and am glad I made the investment." — Johniece Elbert Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in 11 styles). 18. A rechargeable lighter with an extra long neck so you can light candles that are getting a little long in the teeth (jar). It doesn't need lighter fluid or a flame, making it a safe and mess-free option when you're trying to set the mood. This butane-free lighter charges with a USB cord, and the igniting spark shuts off automatically in seven seconds. Promising review:"This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that's a super minor annoyance. It's a super intuitive device. Plus, the lighter with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don't know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it's awesome!" — Jee W Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 colors). 19. A moving bird toy complete with a catnip pouch to preoccupy your feline friend with their own version of Flappy Bird. The USB-charged gizmo has three flapping settings so your cat can work on their hunting skills and have a lot more fun than we had playing that infuriating game. Amazon Grab some extra catnip here. Promising reviews: "My cat is OBSESSED with this bird!! Just buy it. I left it in the box and plugged in the charger. I walked away. My cat found it in the box and hasn't stopped playing with it since! He chases it, wrestles with it, bites, and licks it." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.98. 20. Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer made up of tiny liposome capsules that pop and spread a vitamin C and niacinamide-boosted formula that works to brighten and smooth your complexion. Reviewers said they saw the brightening effects after just a few uses! For once, popping is a *good* thing in the context of beauty routines. (Leave that pimple alone!) Promising review: "This moisturizer is one of the nicest feeling moisturizers ever. The appearance of the vitamin C capsules inside the gel goop on TikTok enticed me to purchase it for myself. This moisturizer has a gel-like consistency and comes with a scooper, making it very easy to apply. You get a decent-sized jar of moisturizer for the price, and the moisturizer is pretty thick. Although it is sticky, I would say it absorbs into your skin pretty quickly. It may leave a slight sticky residue behind, but I think overall it is amazing for all skin types. After using this in the a.m. before sunscreen, I noticed my skin really glow and feel smooth! I had gifted a jar to my 60-year-old mother and she had told me how her skin felt like a baby's bum the next morning!" — tracey + kiwi Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (also available in two other styles). 21. An affordable sunrise alarm clock you'll really appreciate when you have to wake up before the sun. The device has seven natural sounds and will gradually brighten to simulate a sunrise so you can pretend you're not waking up at an ungodly hour. This can be programmed with seven different light settings, seven different calming "wake up" noises, and to start gradually lighting up at 30, 20, or 10 minutes before they wake. Promising review:"I got this recommendation from TikTok and it really has helped, especially with Oregon winters where the sun is not out by the time the alarm rings. It has several peaceful alarm settings and even has night music to put you to sleep. The sunrise with the alarm piano is what I play to wake me up every morning, and it is a way better way than to wake up to an annoying phone alarm." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $31.92+ (available in three styles). 22. A charging station with six USB ports so everyone's device can have a place to park and charge without being disrupted. The tangle of cords, piles of phones, and vicious fights over the outlet are a thing of the past. Promising review: "Love this charging station. We had so many cords everywhere, and it just looked terrible. Now everything has its place, and the short cords look so much better! Charges well, maybe slower than my longer cord, but it's worth the aesthetic. I love the blue light that turns off when your device is fully charged; it's nice to know at a glance. Love it, would buy again, would buy for others as gifts." — Jen Get it from Amazon for $29.49. 23. Garbage disposal cleaner that's not only easy to use, but also very entertaining. Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear, and bam! You can admire your lemony fresh drain that was basically cleaned for you. No one likes sticking their hands near sharp blades, and now you don't have to! Amazon Promising review:"WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" — VadersGirl Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $15.75. 24. A compact label maker so charming, you'll find yourself labeling everything, down to individual Diet Coke cans. It connects to your phone through Bluetooth and lets you print out your own designs so your labels will look super cute even if they're possibly a bit passive aggressive. Your old label maker could never. There are predesigned templates you can choose from or you can create your own all in the app with different symbols, frames, and font varieties. Promising review: "I love how easy it is to use! You can customize your labels how you please on their app, or you can use their lite mode, and with those you can do simple labels. I really like how easy a quick it is. I think I'm going to label EVERYTHING in my house! LOL." — Stephanie Lopez Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 25. A rolling egg dispenser that'll save room in your fridge *and* alert you when it's time to re-up your supply. It's also just super entertaining to watch the eggs roll down the chute. Your fridge is about to become an amusement park! YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review: " Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." — Karingen Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a double or can style). 26. A touchless paper towel dispenser for people who want to bring cutting-edge public bathroom technology to their home. Jokes aside, this thing is super useful when your hands are too messy to handle a roll of paper towels. The mounted automatic dispenser works with most roll sizes, is easy to load, and can be set to spit out whole or half sheets. Check out a TikTok of the touchless paper towel dispenser in action. Bonus: if you don't grab the paper towel, it sucks it back up for safekeeping! Promising review: "Do we need it? No. But it might be my favorite unnecessary gadget purchase of all time. It leaves our counter tops uncluttered, the no touch sensor lets me grab a paper towel with dirty hands, and I feel like we use less paper towels overall. It's easy to install, easy to program, and easy to replace the roll." — Mlc Get it from Amazon for $82.99 (available in three colors). 27. A TikTok-beloved Bio-Collagen Real Deep mask that lets you literally get some "beauty sleep." The sleep mask's oligo-hyaluronic acid works to leave your face feeling refreshed and glowy, even if you didn't get your full nine hours. The mask turns transparent after three-ish hours as it's absorbed into the skin, and loads of reviewers mention visible results after just one treatment. Most reviewers recommend doing this treatment once per week. Promising review: "Yes!!! Finally a mask that I can feel and see working, and with results that last. I have sensitive dry skin, live in a very dry climate, and even with drinking insane amounts of water and using a humidifier — my skin never feels hydrated. I used ONE of these masks so far four days ago and my skin still feels hydrated and soft. Initially, I thought I'd have to use another one right away to give myself a hydrating boost, but I truly think one a week will be enough." — A. Myers Get a set of four from Amazon for $19 (also available in two other styles). 28. A wall-mounted, fog-resistant shower mirror so you can shave, examine zits, or just check yourself out. ;) It has three different light settings, a little shelf with razor hooks, and a squeegee when the fog resistance crumbles to your love for steamy showers. Showers are about to become either really productive or really unproductive, depending on how much you love to look at yourself. 🤪 Promising review: "I ran across this mirror on another person's TikTok. Once I received this and mounted it in my shower, it was amazing! It feels like a fancy hotel feature that was placed within my shower. I love the different light settings. On the downside, the mirror does fog up frequently due to the steam. Since the mirror comes with a wiper, that helps as a slight fix to that problem. Overall, I highly recommend this as a purchase for an elevated feature to your bathroom" — Shanel Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $26.09+ (available in three colors). 29. A 360-degree spill-proof cup for toddlers (and other messy drinkers) who usually end up with more juice on their shirt than in their mouth. The silicone top is spillproof (liquid only comes out when sucked) and can be sipped from any spot. Does this mean you don't have to break out the stain spray every day? Probably not, but at least it won't be from drinking-related accidents. BuzzFeed writer Mallory Mower has this and says: "Finding this cup makes me feel *very in* the know, and I can't believe it's not yet a classic infant cup. Because it's absolute Glinda the Good Witch witchcraft. We originally got our baby an infant cup with a straw, but she was more interested in playing with the lid and would rarely drink from it. The day we got this she caught on instantly — her bottles were gone the same week with no tears and a healthily hydrated baby! I love that it gives her the confidence to drink from regular cups and water bottles because she now knows how to gulp. Plus, I can just throw this in a bag and go — no drips, ever! This has made our life SO easy." Promising review:"I have several colors of this cup, and they are the best sippy cups for toddlers. I love that they don't spill, and they come in fun colors and designs. They're also easy to wash. I'll definitely be buying more colors!" — Liane Get two from Amazon for $14.01. 30. A wireless thermal printer perfect for shooting out custom stickers and shipping labels in record time. Like store receipts, the ink is inside the *paper* so you don't have to worry about wasting money on pricey cartridges. Once you see how fast this thing whips out stickers, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with traditional printers (and scissors and tape). I loooove this little printer. You can connect via Bluetooth or app, but I connect with the USB cord to my laptop (it's as easy as downloading the printer software, plugging in the printer, and hitting print). It prints lightning fast and without smudging. I mostly use it for shipping labels, but if you want stickers, the app lets you design and print in one place. Promising review: "I have a small business, so I purchased this to expedite my shipping time frame. It's amazing how much time I've wasted printing, cutting, and taping on a paper label. It's so quick and easy to print my 4 x 6 shipping labels and stick them on, along with printing various thermal stickers and labels of different sizes. This printer is extremely customizable and very easy to use, whether I'm printing wirelessly from the phone app, or plugged in to my laptop to print. I've had a few issues with this printer, but Munbyn customer service is top notch and quick to help resolve my issues! I would definitely buy this printer again and other products from this company!!" — BH Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in four colors). 31. Mosquito Dunks to kill mosquitoes before they're even big enough to bite you. They're made with a bacteria that's only toxic to mosquito larvae, so you don't have to worry about pets or wildlife. Amazon You can throw these in your watering can or any standing water in your backyard. They contain BTI, a bacteria toxic to mosquito larvae. The treatment lasts up to a month and treats 100 square feet of surface water. Promising review:"So far, this is the best method I have found to rid your houseplants of pesky flies, gnats, and other unwelcome guests. I keep half a dunk in my watering can at all times. When it dissolves (usually after a couple of months), I replace it with another. Works great on the houseplants. I tried a lot of other stuff first, and nothing compared." — Joshua J. Homemaker Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7.05. 32. And a reusable plug-in fly trap that goes the extra mile with a built-in light, working like a siren song to lure hapless flying insects to their demise. It calls out to fruit flies and gnats up to 400 feet away so you can finally reclaim your home. The plug-in comes with two glue traps, but you can buy refills here. Promising review:"Sorcery. We travel in an RV full-time, and with camping comes bugs. I don't see bugs flying around, but they do seem to be appearing at alarming rates on the sticky pad. Either they're teleporting from outside directly onto the sticky pad, or this thing attracts them and catches them so fast that they didn't have a chance to annoy me. After trying nearly every bug-catching product on the market over the past two years, I can confirm that this might be magic." — Justin Erny Get it from Amazon for $14.48. 33. Mother Earth-approved bamboo towels said to replace up to six month's worth of paper towels. They're stronger (see watermelon pic) and more durable than the other kind, so you can reuse 'em. Amazon I'm not sure *why* you would use a paper towel to hold a watermelon under the faucet but it's certainly a striking example of the strength of bamboo! Anyway, all you have to do when you're done using one is throw it in the wash. Promising review:"I clean for a living, so using these on the job as well as my home makes life much easier, and I can feel better about not being so wasteful. I use them for drying my hands, cleaning the countertops, and as a reusable Swiffer pad for floors. What I do is mark each one with a Sharpie. My first initial for hands and face at home, 'C' for cleaning counters and 'F' for floor. What I love about these the most is they dry a lot quicker than regular towels and washing them is super easy. Dirt and grime tends to just rinse right out. Even on the mop pads. It's incredible. Now I don't have to waste money buying the Swiffer refills. These are different to use but it's worth figuring out what works for you!! A must buy for eco-friendly cleaning!" — Joyce Get a roll of 20 sheets from Amazon for $9.99. 34. An outlet light for anyone who hates stumbling into things when they drowsily shuffle into the dark kitchen for a glass of water. This sleek device won't take up any precious outlet space and just looks very futuristic in general! Your stubbed toes will thank you for this game-changing development. Amazon Promising review:"I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product." — LMK Get it from Amazon for $22.98+ (available in four colors and three sizes). 35. E.l.f Lash Xtndr mascara, which uses ~tubing technology~ to make your lashes appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. Nothing worse than trying to yank those things off. :( Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord loves this mascara and says: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 36. Hope's Perfect Sink solution that cleans and then basically creates a water-repellant force field over your sink to protect it from stains and damage. It works on everything from stainless steel to porcelain (along with cast iron, corian, composite, acrylic, etc.), ensuring that your sink rinses clean and shines like new, no matter how many cups of coffee you pour on it. Sue Storm would approve! BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this stain-removing polish: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink, and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here." Promising review:"My kitchen sink is 6+ years old and has gotten pretty gunky over the past year — much more so than ever before. I tried my old cleaner on it with zero success, but this one did the job. There were some bad stains around the drain and a general ring around the perimeter of the sink, but with a good bit of elbow grease and several applications, I was able to remove about 95% of all of it. The sink looks more like it did when it was new, and the water even beads on the surface again. I'll be sure to clean it more often from now on, and I plan to buy some more Hope's. (It also did a dandy job on my stainless toaster, which had gotten pretty dull.) I recommend this product to others, with or without heavy stains on their sinks. Very pleased!" — Barry Get the value size from Amazon for $29.95 or the smaller size for $9.95. 37. A Coway air purifier designed with a four-stage filtration system to remove up to 99.97% of particles in the air, like pollen, pollutants, and other allergens. Coolest of all, it has a neat LED that tells you the air quality level. Thank you, iPod Shuffle! BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman has this and says:"I love it! I had been waking up with watery eyes and the sniffles and desperately wanted some relief. I joked to my partner that this bad boy looked like an iPod its air-filtering capabilities are no laughing matter! Now, I wake up feeling refreshed instead of congested. Plus, I really feel like this air filter is able to detect changes in the air. Case in point: when I made fish a room away, the LED turned from blue (indicating good air quality) to red (indicating poor air quality), and the purifier jumped into action." Get it from Amazon for $206.99. 38. A portable white noise machine and speaker that goes under your pillow so you can fall asleep to soothing sounds without disturbing your sleeping partner. Sure, they snore, but you could take the higher ground and NOT blast whale sounds from your phone. This sleep bar has 10 different soothing noises, or you can connect to Bluetooth if you'd prefer to fall asleep to a podcast or some smooth jazz. The mini speaker uses bone conduction (sound waves that hit bone instead of eardrums) to amplify the white noise without disturbing the people around you. They'll still be able to hear the speaker if you play noises too loudly, though. Promising review: "This bone-conduction sleep speaker is a game changer! The white noise options are amazing, and the bone-conduction technology means I can enjoy it without disturbing my partner. Plus, it's so easy to carry around." — Vivian Get it from Amazon for $30.99. Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

35 Products That Work So Well, You'll Want To Burst Into Song
1. A pair of teeth-whitening pens to help remove years (!!!) of staining from your pearly whites, simply by applying a thin layer twice a day! Coffee, red wine, chocolate, and other things that stain your teeth no longer have to be your nemesis after adding this pen to your routine — you'll wish you started using this years ago! Each pen can be used up to 20 times. Promising review:"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker] so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant on getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33+ (also available in packs of four or individually). 2. A genius veggie chopper that can chop and dice pretty much anything in literal seconds. It comes with four interchangeable dice blades and a built-in storage container that you can use to prep and store food! You'll have enough time to put on your own rendition of Waitress: The Musical when you're meal-prepping with this cult-favorite gadget! The lid is designed with a built-in chopper and fits the storage container, so it all drops inside after prepping! Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. Fullstar is a small business that specializes in unique and functional kitchen gadgets. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get the 4-in-1 style from Amazon for $29.97 (available in four colors and four other styles). 3. Gloves In a Bottle to keep your hands hydrated and protected throughout the day *and* through repeated bouts of washing your hands. It's a big hit with medical professionals who constantly have to sanitize their hands, but you'll find it comes in ~handy~ for preventing irritation and dry skin during regular use, too! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Daniel Boan has to say about this:"I started using this last winter and HIGHLY recommend it. Just one application in the morning is enough to keep my skin feeling soft all day, and it absorbs super quickly. I was worried the "protective barrier" would feel sticky or thick on my skin, but I never notice it! My dry hands feel so much more moisturized and soft since using this. It's a constant staple at my sink now." Gloves In a Bottle is a family-owned small business. Promising review: " I work in the healthcare field, and like many nurses and staff, I was getting REALLY bad dermatitis on the backs of both my hands from the constant washing and gloves. A colleague recommended that I try gloves in a bottle to help because it was to the point that my hands would BURN every time I washed them. So I wash my hands really well before work and use the shielding lotion, and my dermatitis is pretty much gone! I like how the smell isn't too abrasive, and it really does absorb quickly into the skin." — Katelyn Brown Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two scents). 4. A *self-cleaning* grooming brush featuring angled wires for superior detangling and retractable bristles, so all you do is press a button to remove all the hair you've brushed off! It's perfect if your furry companion looks like a member of the Hair cast, complete with the counterculture "long hair, don't care" attitude. I have the fluffiest dog on the planet (a Chow Chow), and well THIS, let me say it in bold THIS BRUSH HERE is quite possibly the most important pet tool I own. It gets everything out of his fur from burrs, thistles, mud, slobber, dirt, and whatever else gets in there! I use it daily, seriously, and it has yet to fail me. My favorite part is being able to click the button and the fur just peels right off the brush, no digging or struggling around bristles like a regular comb at all. I wish I had one of these for my own detangling process. Plus, he loves it! I can literally brush him while he sleeps, no problem. Get it. GET IT NOW. Also, it literally has over 68,000 5-star ratings, so I'm not the only one. Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it too! Promising reviews: "A dog brush that I don't have to pick dog hair out of ... At first, I thought this was some form of dark wizardry. But I don't care because this is awesome!" — MaddSweet "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc for my cats. This is, hands-down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button, and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than what I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it, but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush, which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in purple or aqua). 5. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner because you deserve to admire the view from your windows instead of looking through streaks of bird poop, pollen dust, winter sludge scum, and bug spatters. This concentrated cleaner is connects to your hose and delivers a streak-free clean, so you don't have to bother with a ladder! Just rinse it off after spraying! Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" — Helena Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.96. 6. An Apple-compatible locator tag, which works exactly like an AirTag for a fraction of the price. Connect it to your Find My Friends app and never worry about where your Bohemian house cat who likes to roam outside is hanging out... probably at the local Jellicle Ball! Each one comes with a waterproof case and silicone holder! Promising review: "Perfect tracker with a stylish touch! They function perfectly with the Apple Find My app, and I use them for my backpack, keys, and luggage. No more worrying about lost things thanks to the extremely accurate tracking and easy setup! I adore that I can rely on it to protect my AirTag in any conditions. This is the perfect tracker if you're an iOS user searching for something dependable, useful, and stylish! Five stars! Highly recommended!" — JoyfulGenius Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in four styles and in a four-pack). 7. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that's designed with a lightweight, color-balancing formula infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter for a reliable coverage solution. Color-balancing in makeup is truly nothing short of practical if it can disappear dark circles and under-eye bags! Because of the color-balancing, each of the shade options is designed to work with a range of skin tones. For example, the light rose would be best for fairer skin and the dark mocha hue would work for deeper skin tones. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 8. The no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower spray to get rid of soap scum and mildew taking over your tub or shower stall. Simply spray down your shower and rinse it 8–12 hours later! Satisfied customers have bestowed over 37,000 5-star ratings for how it helps them work smarter, not harder, when it comes to knocking out chores. Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). 9. OPI RapiDry Quick Dry Nail Polish designed with a 60-second quick-drying time for a chip-resistant, smudge-proof finish. It comes in over 25 semi-sheer shades, so you can keep one in your purse or pack several while you travel to get the perfect mani on the go! And here's one TikToker who says this polish is a "hack" for someone always running late and shows us the 60-second drying process in real time! Promising review: "This is my go to nail polish. The fact that it's fast drying is a plus. It's so pretty and it has the most beautiful colors. It has excellent longevity especially when paired with a top coat. I also feel as if it can go with so many different outfits/colors because of the changes of the color in different lights. It would be even better if it were a bit darker so I wouldn't need to apply as many layers. Definitely recommend!" — Mama N Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 31 shades). 10. A bottle of earwax removal drops if you're constantly feeling plugged up and want to do something about it without making a doctor's appointment (and shelling out for a hefty copay). This easy-to-use microfoaming carbamide peroxide solution begins working in seconds to loosen up hardened earwax, so you can flush it away and enjoy hearing your neighbor's in-time reviews of your midnight, one-person production of Hamilton — 10/10! BTW to properly irrigate your ear after using these drops, you'll need either a classic bulb syringe or this fancier, quad-stream syringe designed specifically for wax removal. Promising review:"Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored, because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterward, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 11. Retinol body lotion featuring skin-loving ingredients like vitamins A and E, shea butter, green tea, and aloe vera to help keep your skin moisturized and hydrated while also reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and even sun damage! If that's something you're interested in, of course. Promising review:"I had to take some time out of my day to sit down and tell you about this lotion because, holy moly. I have NEVER gone through a full bottle of lotion before. But this stuff??? Magic in a freaking bottle! I have been using this over the course of two years and I'm absolutely in love. It keeps my skin truly moisturized and doesn't leave an oily residue like most lotions. It really absorbs into my skin. I originally got this to help with my stretch marks from carrying my son but one day I used it as a face moisturizer because I was out of my face cream and I have been using only this since then. It doesn't dry my face out, it doesn't clog my pores, it doesn't make my face ungodly greasy. This stuff is literally a game changer for my skin!" — Chrystal W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 12. A powerful dishwashing spray, which breaks down grease and food debris *in minutes*, in turn saving you loads of time by eliminating the need to pre-soak your dishes. Just spray and wipe the mess away... guess you'll have to find a new chore that prompts belting "It's A Hard Knock Life" at the top of your lungs! 🥲 Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has to say:"I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well." Promising review:"This Dawn is AMAZING! Spray, let it sit for a few minutes and wipe or spray clean. No elbow grease needed to get pot and pans squeaky clean!" — StaySea7 Get one spray and three refills from Amazon for $12.25. 13. A jar of the internet-beloved The Pink Stuff — it helps you tackle the most difficult messes that pop up in your home, like a one-of-a-kind permanent marker art piece on your wall or a scuff on your brand-new sneakers before even stepping outside. Plus, it'll do it all with the least amount of elbow grease you've had to use in a while. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Promising review:"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stovetop and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" — Micaela Gunderson Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 14. A fungal nail renewal treatment formulated with lactic acid, urea, and propylene glycol to help reduce discoloration, thicken your nails, and leave them looking smoother and healthier! It's truly a must if you've been looking for a solution to brittle toenails and other visible fungal damage that may be preventing you from confidently wearing open-toed shoes. Hey Siri, play "Strut" by The Cheetah Girls! 💃 Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac Get it from Amazon for $16.97+ (available with or without a nail file). 15. A bottle of Elizavecca hair treatment, which boasts a blend of collagen and protein to help restore and repair damaged hair that's been through... a lot (read: dye jobs, heat damage, and even sun damage). Bring your hair back to life and show off your silky and voluminous tresses that look like you just left the salon. Don't worry, your secret is safe with us! This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review:"Like many others, I tried this as a replacement for Olaplex. Honestly, Olaplex never had a great effect on my hair and certainly wasn't worth the price. This did an unreal job on my hair!! I was skeptical (tried a little bit first because I was petrified it would burn off my hair and I would end up bald!) but, lo and behold, it was magic! My hair is so strong, silky, and healthy looking after just one use. Plus, you can't beat the price! Have already ordered another box. I should also add I have curly/wavy hair that's been colored to a light brown. Buy it!!" — BB Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. 16. The compact Levoit air purifier with a HEPA-grade filter for removing dander, dust, pollen, smoke, and daily odors from your home while barely making a peep! This is definitely a must-have for anyone who owns a pet or deals with allergies throughout the year. Honestly, having fresher air around the house is the perfect excuse for singing "Breathe" from In The Heights... in case you needed a real reason. Promising reviews: "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 two of the smaller version of this same purifier for the two 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 three purifiers going 24/7 for four 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 "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 18x18. 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 it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in black and white, plus four styles, including a WiFi-enabled version). 17. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that effortlessly banishes calluses, cracks, and dead skin from your soles and heels. It also boasts glycerin for softening and hydrating the skin afterward. With this in your arsenal, you'll be ready to embrace sandal and flip-flop season arms wide open! To use this, simply presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended to use this product in tandem with a foot file afterward to make sure no gel residue or dead skin remains! Promising review:"Best product I've ever got from Amazon. This thing is really what everyone said it is: MAGIC. I cannot believe after one use the results of my callouses, just years and years of pain, shaved down without any surgical treatment! WOW! I seriously have no words. If I could give this product 1 million stars, I would. If you're someone who's had horrible calloused feet for years, PLEASE BUY THIS!" — Jess Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents and in packs of two). 18. E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara featuring innovative "tubing" technology to wrap around your eyelashes and deliver natural-looking length and volume with a smudge-proof finish. Plus, the "tubing" makes it SO much easier to remove your makeup without any specialized cleaners or abrasive scrubbing! Not-so-falsies for less than $10? NEED. Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord (pictured above) has to say: " I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago??

I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 19. The ChomChom roller — it's a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber. Then remove and throw all that hair away. Over 140,000 reviewers have bestowed it with a 5-star trophy, I mean rating, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising reviews: " 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 "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 $24.99+ (available in two colors). 20. Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil infused with biotin and a blend of jojoba, rosemary, and mint oils to help nourish and moisturize the scalp and skin, which can also help your hair when it comes to strength and growth! Tend to your tresses (the ones on your head *and* your brows) with the TLC they deserve, and you might just end up feeling like Ga-Linda every time you *toss toss*! According to the Cleveland Clinic, some researchers have found rosemary oil to be as effective at encouraging hair growth as Rogaine! And read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Legit magic in a bottle. Wish I could order this stuff by the gallon. Took a chance on this because I was desperate, having already spent so much money on luxury and drugstore products with little results. I use this as a pre-treatment on scalp and ends before I wash hair. Scalp has improved dramatically. I feel like there's not as much breakage/fallout, and my ends are fuller. (This is after like six months, but my scalp was better immediately.)" — Claire Blanchard Get it from Amazon for $9.97 21.

Reviewers even say these reusable pads are more efficient at cleaning by picking up more dirt and grime, and all you have to do is throw them in the washer!

Promising review:"This is a MUST-HAVE. I stopped cleaning to come write this review! These pads are amazing!!! We have a lot of fur baby hair in our apartment and I honestly feel like these pads trap the hair better than the throw-away ones!! I am always on the lookout for more sustainable cleaning options and I absolutely love love love these!! Thank you!!" — Isabella M. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95. 22. Lumify Eye Drops to help reduce redness in record time. It didn't climb its way to being a number one seller for no reason — according to reviewers, you see results in just minutes!

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. Check out a TikTok of the eye drops in action. 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 $11.93 23. A bottle of Nyx matte setting spray because you want to be confident that your makeup actually makes it to *and* through the day without worrying about sweating, crying, or wiping it off. AKA it is a must-have for any aspiring thespian to keep your makeup SET from "curtain call" to the reprisal encore sing-a-long! Promising review:"Expensive isn't always better. I tried this spray before spending the day outdoors in 90-degree heat at Disneyland, and the only place my makeup moved was on the tip of my nose because I have allergies and use a lot of tissues. But otherwise it looked as fresh as it did when I put it on. I've used Mac and Urban Decay setting spray and they never worked as well as this stuff. I am completely amazed. Definitely give it a try." — DH Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in two sizes, and also dewy and radiant finishes). 24. A bottle of signature Fur Oil for softening and cleansing pubic hair and skin to tackle those pesky ingrowns and deliver more moisturized and smoother skin below the belt. Lots of reviewers nabbed this on recommendation from their go-to wax professionals and swear by using it in their post-wax routine! Promising reviews:"I am prone to ingrown hairs. I have VERY coarse pubic hair and every time I shave, I get razor bumps and ingrown hairs as the hair starts to grow back. Very embarrassing. This has led me to lean more toward trimming that shaving. I decided to try to shave one more time — well, I used Nair and removed my pubic hair from my genital area. I used Fur Oil every day morning and night after the removal, and even as the hair grows back and beyond. I would also exfoliate the area about two to three times a week with a coffee scrub that I got on here. The hair has started to grow back with zero bumps or ingrown hairs. It has actually been over a month and still no issues. This has never happened to me before. I have never not removed hair down there and not had ingrown hairs and hair bumps. This is a new experience for me, and I am loving it. I have even removed hair again since then and still no problems. My only complaint is the size of the bottle, and the smell is so-so. It is a very small bottle for the price. I will continue to use this combination of products, though, because I know it works. I am satisfied." — In the know "Recommended to me by my waxer. I was a little hesitant at first because it's pretty expensive, but I haven't had a single ingrown hair since using this oil. I am diligent on application of the oil, and it's been great. It lasts — I've been using it for about two months, and there's still a ton in the bottle." — Megan Harmeyer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and bundles). 25.

Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried different spray cleaners and techniques but couldn't get the smell out. I was convinced I'd need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I'd have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I'm excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $99.99. 26.

My toddler had been having accidents on the sofa. I had been scrubbing tirelessly almost every week to get the urine smell out. I tried the baking soda, water, etc., but nothing worked! I was self-conscious about family visiting. Until I came across this product. When I tell you the URINE SMELL IS GONE, it's gone! This product is a must-have. Buy now." — Amazonian Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes). 27.

You only need a dime-size amount, and this balm melts on contact into an effective removal oil that works SO MUCH BETTER than disposable wipes. Juno & Co. is a small business based in California specializing in sustainable, yet effective skincare. Promising review:"I've loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1–2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis. I wanted something just as good at a lower price and I FOUND IT! This cleanser absolutely melts away makeup and deep cleans the skin without any drying or eye irritation! It smells great and a little goes a loooonng way — I'm in love!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 28. A long-handled standing weeder for removing those unwanted plants, weeds, and whatever else begins popping up in your yard and garden bed between tending. It's designed with three steel claws to grip weeds *and* roots, so you can pull them out without bending over! Amazon Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based family-owned small business specializing in weeding tools. Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG Get it from Amazon for $32.99. 29. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that effortlessly deep cleans and deodorizes your garbage disposal and pipes that have probably gone a little too long without your attention. 😬 It removes hidden bacteria, leaves a lemon-fresh scent, and can even help extend the life of your disposal! Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica House Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.67 (available in three quantities). 30. Revlon's oil-absorbing volcanic face roller — it's an infinitely washable volcanic stone roller ball that soaks up excess oil and delivers an instant matte finish in seconds, leaving your makeup intact. Miss Baltimore Crabs in Hairspray is a straight-up villain for saying "Oh! Shiny." to her daughter, but this product *does* work so well, you'll break out into "You Can't Stop The Beat!" (Get it?) Plus, you won't have to search around for trash cans to toss your blotting papers *or* take up precious handbag space carrying setting powder and a brush everywhere with you! 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 $7.99. 31.

The dual temperature controls are a nice bonus, letting you cook different foods at once. It's a simple, reliable tool that makes cooking so much easier!" — SAMAS Get it from Amazon for $49.96+ (available in four colors). 32. A glasses lens cleaner with a dual-sided design featuring a small brush for removing dirt/dust on one side and a microfiber pad on the other to wipe away oils and smears with a streak-free finish.

You'll be oh-so-grateful that your past self put one of these in your bag or desk drawer, so you can clean your glasses whenever things are looking a little foggy. Amazon Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and wanted to get it. I wear glasses every day and often don't realize how dirty they are until I see a reflection through them. I've used cloths before but they get weirdly oily and then leave smear marks. This does not. I love it so much and I don't lose it in my purse." — Clair F Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 21 styles and multipacks). 33. A manual flossing toothbrush designed with several layers of soft bristles to reach between teeth, under the gums, and deep into hard-to-reach spaces that regular brushing can't get. Plus, reviewers say it feels SUPER gentle even on sensitive teeth! Just FYI, this toothbrush is not a substitute for flossing, and if you have any concerns about using this make sure to talk to your dentist! Mouthwatchers is a dentist-founded small business that specializes in creating toothbrushes to help patients get a truly deep clean. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these, and here's her take:" I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I absolutely love this toothbrush!! TikTok made me buy it and I will never own anything else again. My teeth feel clean all day long like I went to the dentist but better. I even have a sonic toothbrush and this blows it out of the water. Don't hesitate…buy this for your teeth!" — Amy Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99. 34. A nail strengthening cream, which helps condition cuticles and promote nail growth with a nourishing combination of urea, shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and other moisturizing and reparative ingredients. With consistent use, you'll be showing off your IG-worthy manicures in no time! Promising review:"My natural nails are thin and brittle, and have a tendency to split, peel, and break. Consequently, I wore acrylic nails for several years until I got tired of leaving so much money at the nail salon. When I soaked off the acrylics, my nails were, of course, worse than ever, and nothing I tried seemed to restore them to even their original condition until I found Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream. I rub this into my cuticles and nail beds several time a day and after two months my nails are hard and much thicker with no breaking or splitting. For the first time since I took off the acrylics, my nails are growing past my fingertips. This cream is a keeper, just ordered my second jar and I'll never again be without it." — M. Hill Get it from Amazon for $8.88+ (available in two scents). 35. A hard-working toilet pumice stone to make your porcelain throne sparkle from the inside out. This stone tackles those tough, nasty, almost impossible jobs, including rust, mineral deposits, soap scum, and other buildup and stains on hard surfaces. Promising review: " This is an absolute game changer. There was a blackish stain on the bottom of the inside of a toilet in my house from before we even bought the place, and this demolished it in less than five minutes of work. I'm absolutely astounded. I immediately took it to all the rest of the toilets in the house because now that I know how clean ours can look, I never want to go back!" — Dana Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in multipacks).
