Or these XL Surface Mighty Patches, which boast the same hydrocolloid ingredient, but are large enough to cover several pus-filled pimples or zits at once on your jawline, back, or neck!

Or a RobeCurls heatless hair curler with luxe satin to help keep your tresses moisturized and frizz-free throughout the day.

When you wake up and remove it, you'll be obsessed with your voluminous, bouncy curls, ringlets, or beach waves and already being halfway through your morning routine!

Don't be surprised when you start feeling the gelatinous formula practically sculpt to your face, getting into every fine line or wrinkle to help soothe and hydrate your skin all over. At first, the jelly might feel like a gimmick until you're enjoying the cooling feeling on every pore and wondering why you haven't used this before! An 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! 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!

Max Pacioretty to replace Nick Robertson for Maple Leafs in Game 3

Whether they need it or not, the Maple Leafs are getting some Patches in their Game 3 lineup. As they took to the ice at the Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday morning in Ottawa, veteran Max Pacioretty was on left wing of the third line with centre Max Domi and right winger Bobby McMann, with Nick Robertson scratched. The Leafs are up 2-0 in the best-of-seven Battle of Ontario with the puck dropping for Game 3 at 7 p.m. on Thursday night. Coach Craig Berube alluded to a possible change the day before when the Leafs didn't skate. The obvious candidate to come out was Robertson, who has one assist in two games, a team-low 9:36 of ice time Tuesday and a careless third-period high-sticking penalty that Berube noted. The call resulted in Ottawa's tying 2-2 goal before Max Domi won it in overtime. McMann, who also is in a scoring slump dating back to the regular season, moves from left to right wing. Pacioretty, who regained active status last week following a February training injury after the 4 Nations Face-Off ended, clearly was frustrated at having to watch the first two games of the series from the sidelines. The 36-year-old has 78 games of NHL playoff experience with 25 goals and 25 assists, but has been limited by injuries in this first season in Toronto. Leafs concede Ridly Greig is great at agitating, but must ignore him in Game 3 RICK VAIVE: Good on Anthony Stolarz for standing his ground; Maxi Domi did his dad proud When healthy, Pacioretty brings a physical presence that the smaller Robertson does not. With Ottawa sure to come out hitting to get back in the series, Pacioretty will be a counter to Senators such as Ridly Greig, who has tangled with Leafs goalie Anthony Stolarz. Big centre David Kampf also is available to the Leafs, but Berube likes the effort he's getting down the middle from Auston Matthews, John Tavares, Domi and Scott Laughton. While Greig and defenceman Nick Jensen weren't in for Ottawa's skate, they're expected to play. lhornby@ X: @sunhornby

Name Better Things Than These 31 Elite Products… I'll Wait

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 · These things are like the *best of the best* so good luck tryin' to find anything better. 1. Mighty Patches — some TikTokers have literally dedicated their pages to showing off how well these pimple patches work. These hydrocolloid patches suck out all the gunk from whiteheads and reveal a smoother and less noticeable pimple. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says:"I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS." Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets! Promising review:" These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." — Chris C. Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a 72-pack). 2. 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! You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more. 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 $20.79 (also available as pack of 60 or 240 tablets). 3. Wet & Forget cleaner — a bleach-free cleaner whose motto is literally "fuhgeddaboudit!" It'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. BTW, Each bottle lasts for 12 weeks' worth of treatments. Promising reviews:"I was skeptical at first, but this product exceeded my expectations! I've used it once a week for the last couple of months, and my shower has remained impeccably clean without any need for scrubbing. My bathroom counter had a weird black residue that regular cleaners and scrubbing couldn't remove. After the first application, most of the residue came off with light scrubbing, and after the second application, all of it was gone. I wish I'd discovered this spray sooner!" — Claire W. "I debated getting this and read so many reviews. I bit the bullet and bought it. No regrets! Absolutely love it. Let it sit for hours, and it wiped away with so much ease. I didn't have to scrub anything. 10/10." — Stephanie Mueller Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack). 4. 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. Enjoy the four different blades and cleaning brushes that make your kitchen tasks and cleanup a whole lot easier. 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 $26.99+ (available in five sizes and four colors). 5. A life-saving ChomChom roller to put other lint rollers to SHAME because this bad boy can be used over and over again. All you need to do is just roll, watch the fur disappear, and easily empty it all out for a super fast cleanup! 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). 6. A jar of *THE* Pink Stuff — it'll work wonders 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 reviews: "I am speechless. I had burned on crud on the glass door inside of my oven. I literally took the product and put it on with a sponge, let it sit for 30 seconds, wiped it off with a hot watered paper towel, and it wiped clean! I regret not taking before and after pictures. I have tried everything under the sun and regret not trying this sooner. I was skeptical because I saw it on TikTok. BUY IT!!!!!! Can't wait to try it on the shower! [Best] stuff I've ever used!" — Courtney " This is one of those 'changed my life' products that you come across every once in a while. I have tried so many different things to clean my clear glass shower door and just end up wasting time, money, and effort. The reviews and price of this product sold me on it. I love the smell (very subtle) and I used it with a basic sponge on my shower door. It did take a little effort but not bad and yielded amazing results. I then got excited about the other possibilities and have used it on the inside of my oven door with similar results. It's great. You won't be disappointed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 7. Revlon's oil-absorbing volcanic face roller made from actual volcanic stone to soak up the excess oil throughout the day. Unlike blotting papers, you can wash and reuse the roller, and it fits perfectly in your purse! 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 $9.17. 8. First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant meant for tackling those "chicken skin" spots on the body (aka keratosis pilaris). The glycolic acid and lactic acid help buff away dead skin and soon enough, you'll be saying "bye-bye bumps" and "hello smooth skin!" Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and Instagram. I decided to try it and it really works. I used it on my thighs and upper arms. I noticed a difference the first time and even more the second time!!! Fabulous product. Worth every penny." — Launa Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in four sizes and as a two-pack). 9. A super-soft Makeup Eraser, which lets you go from full beat to au naturel with no makeup remover solution required. Just add water, and your foundation, waterproof mascara, and lipstick will be gone in a flash! Plus, it's reusable and machine washable, making it an eco-friendly alternative to disposable makeup remover wipes. Promising review:"I am amazed by this product. I would even say that this is life-altering! I have not had to buy makeup remover in three months and don't believe I will ever have to again! When I used makeup remover, I felt like I could never get all of my makeup off and I had to rub my eyes quite a bit to get it off. Even after a lot of rubbing when using makeup remover I still would wake up the next morning with makeup residue from the previous day and I never felt I could completely get my makeup off. With Makeup Eraser, there is not one bit of makeup left!! It is like magic!! Make sure you follow directions, you have to use warm water and use the correct side!" — Sprklbuz Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in 16 colors). Check out BuzzFeed's review of the Makeup Eraser for more deets! 10. A set of antimicrobial toothbrushes because we all brush our teeth every day, but flossing... that's another story.

Mouthwatchers is a small biz that sells antimicrobial toothbrushes, which are also available in bundle sets and travel-sized options! Promising review:"Like most people, I've tried any number of toothbrushes (electric and manual) and can't say I've ever experienced an appreciable or memorable difference. Until this one. This one's approach to gum care got my attention. And they deliver. I can't remember the last time my mouth felt so clean without any torture involved. Highly recommend." — Emma Hunter Get two from Amazon for $9.99. 11. A TikTok-famous Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner, which works ✨wonders✨ since it literally sucks up dirt, stubborn stains, and any other nasty spills that have worked their way deep into your upholstery. Forget calling the pros — this little green powerhouse is way more affordable and just as effective. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Check out the Bissell Little Green machine on TikTok! Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried multiple spray cleaners and techniques but couldn't get the smell out. I was convinced I'd need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I'd have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I'm excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $99.98. 12. A bottle of TikTok-famous Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence — truly one of those "don't knock it till you try it" products. You probably didn't understand all the hype around this since, TBH, it sounds kinda weird, BUT this helps repair dark spots, hydrate dull skin, and rejuvenate damaged skin. Soon enough, you'll be trying to convince all your friends to add this to their skincare routine. Check out the Cosrx snail essence on TikTok! Promising review: " Skincare game changer. I started using this two years ago, and this product has transformed my skin completely! I have dull, dry skin and this helps hydrate and makes my complexion look healthy and hydrated. I use this under my moisturizer day and night." — Nhi Luu Get it from Amazon for $18.38. 13. An under-eye brightener that has gone viral for its lightweight color-adapting formula that helps brighten and conceal dark circles. You might feel like you only got six hours of sleep, but at least you won't be looking like it! The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two 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." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 14. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator to quickly remove visual *and* fragrant stains from furniture and carpets like it's nobody's business! You love your pet with all your heart, but the little "presents" they leave you... not so much. Promising review:"This product is a miracle worker. My toddler had been having accidents on the sofa. I had been scrubbing tirelessly almost every week to get the urine smell out. I tried the baking soda, water, etc., but nothing worked! I was self-conscious about family visiting. Until I came across this product. When I tell you the URINE SMELL IS GONE, it's gone! This product is a must-have. Buy now." — Amazonian Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and multipacks). 15. Essence's Lash Princess mascara that reviewers love because it's arguably better than the more expensive brands but still gives you some dramatic looking lashes. No need to reapply throughout the day or fiddle with uncomfortable falsies when you've got this in your beauty arsenal. Check out the Lash Princess mascara on TikTok! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say:"Hello, that is my face above, because I bought into the hype of over 100,000 positive reviews and now I will never look back!! It doesn't get clumpy, it stays put ALL the live long day (I spent all of this ridiculously hot pandemic summer wearing it, so I can speak to that), and you can apply it on very lightly if you don't want it to look so dramatic, or continue applying for longer lashes each time." Promising review: "Mascaras always make the same my short, straight lashes have never looked thicker or longer! And I don't have to bother with false lashes. Seriously, this mascara is a game changer." — CoCust Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two sizes and in black and brown). 16. A Hard as Hoof stregthening cream to help bring your nail beds back to life if you've finally thrown in the towel with the acrylics or if you're just a constant nail-biter. This is formulated with calcium, vitamins, and hydrogenated jojoba oil to keep your nails... dare I say... "hard as hooves." Promising review:"My natural nails are horrible! They are and 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 finger tips. 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. 17. Plus, a lightly tinted nail concealer that gives you the perfect no-mani mani if you want a more au natural vibe. This is a concealer, which is technically different than a regular polish because it has a sheer, buildable base that enhances your natural nails. Londontown is a small biz making products that'll help keep your nails healthy and beautiful. Promising reviews: "Highly impressed and satisfied with purchase. I've been a nail biter my entire life. I recently stopped biting a little over three months ago, and while I've been pleased overall with the growth, I've found that my natural nails have many imperfections. For instance, I have splinter hemorrhages, as well as white horizontal lines (aka Beau's lines) on every single nail on all 10 fingers, and the tips are transparent. But this polish literally disguises all of that. I'm so so grateful to have found it." — Kourtnee amos Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in five shades and a set).

A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows — a perfect replacement for those flattened-out pillows that have lost their oompf over the years. There's no time like the present to gift yourself some cushiony and cooling pillows that'll make your dreams of sleeping in a 5-star hotel every night a reality. Promising review: "I was looking for a set of pillows that would allow me to sleep throughout the whole night without waking up with neck pain. These pillows are like heaven! Don't waste your money on all the other pillows. These are right out of a hotel and offer comfort, support, and just about the right amount of height. I slept through a huge thunderstorm we had. I woke up not knowing what year I was in. Seriously… Amazing. This is a must-have. 10/10 will be buying more of these for the whole house." — Cesar Get a set of two from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in three sizes). 19. And some internet-famous Mellanni sheets that are anything but your average bedsheets. These are made from moisture-wicking microfiber fabric and are a must-have for those who usually get a little overheated at night. These have 249,000+ 5-star reviews and come in so many colors. Btw, they maintain their quality even after washing, so they'll last a long, long time. Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven't started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" — Susan "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well, he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman Get them from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king, sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses, and in 45 colors/patterns) 20. A keloid reducer because none of the other "home remedies" you found online do it like this little bottle of magic. 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). 21. A set of cleaning brush attachments you can attach to a drill for some serious scrubbin'. If you've ever broken a cleaning brush scrubbing with too much elbow grease, this is the thing for you. Your back will thank you, your bathroom surfaces will sparkle, and you will be so thankful cleaning took half the time it usually does. Promising review:"I've been eyeing these for a few months and finally caved... Man do I regret not picking them up as soon as I saw them! They work GREAT! We rent an apartment that has a 30+-year-old shower/tub. I've used everything from abrasive powders, gels that sit, to most recently the bathroom Magic Erasers and nothing really got the grime out. These WORK and they work fast. Ten minutes with my handy drill and the shower has never been cleaner. I love that I don't have to throw money out on cleaning products anymore and that I can be a little more environmentally friendly with no waste and no chemical cleaners! Just a little dish soap, baking soda, and a spin of the brush. If you're on the fence, just buy them!" — Becky Adie Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six color and stiffness levels). 22. A bottle of 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! 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 using 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 [don't love] the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95. 23. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo if your hair has been looking like it's been a while since wash day. This ultra-fine powder absorbs oil from your greasy roots, making it look like your hair got a nice lil' refresh in seconds! Plus, this is TSA-friendly, which makes it great for traveling. Amazon 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 (available in five shades and in multipacks). 24. A leak-proof Brumate stainless-steel cup since you deserve a cup that won't leave a leaky mess all over your car if your cupholders are preoccupied. Unlike other brands (IYKYK), this is designed with a lockable straw so you can just toss this in the passenger seat of your car or your purse without a care in the world. Promising review: "I own three of the "popular" brand stainless tumblers, but they leak like a sieve. And they are heavy! I have many chronic autoimmune illnesses, and hydration does help me, so I always have a full cup. I was interested in Brumate because I could lock it and throw it in the seat for extra water, as I tend to empty a cup every 90 minutes. It is sleek, fits my cup holders, weighs less, and is absolutely leakproof. It is a bit top-heavy, and the straw has become detached a few times. My main issue is that despite handwashing and careful handling, it has a chip in only two weeks of use." — Marissa Pro Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in 16 colors). 25. And a High Camp Flask, which will be one of those must-have items you pack for a camping trip or an outdoor concert. It fits a whole bottle of wine (yes, you heard that right) and comes with two magnetic tumblers, so taking it on the go will be a breeze! Promising review: "This flask is fantastic! You save space in your cooler/picnic basket because you don't need ice and you don't have to pack extra cups and it holds a good amount of liquid. Perfect for our weekly music in the park dates." — Nina B. Get it from High Camp Flask for $89 (available in two sizes and four colors). 26. A pair of reusable Nippies silicone pasties 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. Size small fits cups A–C, size large fits cups D+, and size extra large fits cups DD+. 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, moisturiser etc - nothing budges them) but then they also peel off so easily. It's magic. They are completely seamless and my husband (without prompting) said they looked like a second skin on. I've got quite 'triangular' boobs and they completely mould to the shape and look like I just have no nipples lol. Only when I'm suuuuuper cold do 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 multiple wears and are still in perfect condition. Will repurchase as soon as they wear out without a doubt! No more bras!" — Alison BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties too! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. Get a set from Amazon for $21.20+ (available in six shades and three sizes). 27. A 3-step cradle cap system so you can easily remove all those stubborn little flakes from your baby's scalp. The sponge helps lather up shampoo, the brush loosens the flakes, and the comb lifts the flakes off. Parents love how this is gentle and have seen improvement just after one use! New parents, don't panic. Cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — is a very common dry scalp condition that affects infants. Promising review:"This cradle cap brush is a game changer! I was a little hesitant at first since I didn't deal with cradle cap with my first child, but after hearing great things, I decided to try it out. I'm so glad I did! It works like a charm. The bristles are gentle but effective, making it easy to lift away the cradle cap without irritating her scalp. I just brush it in, and it really helps clear up the stubborn spots. After a few sessions, we saw such a huge difference! I definitely recommend this brush set to any parent dealing with cradle cap. It's a must-have for keeping little heads clean and happy!" — Betzy Get it from Amazon for $14.39. 28. Reviewer-beloved Brazilian Bum Bum body cream with caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract, which all make a lovely combo to help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. You know it's actually worth buying because even the 10-year-olds in Sephora go wild for this (and its matching body mist). Amazon, Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"For demographic purposes: Female, 33-years-old. I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out. I've used very expensive creams, oils, and lotions but after four days I already see more results with this product. To make it even better, the scent is amazing! I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." — ChelseaK Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes) 29. Or, the EOS Shea Butter Vanilla Cashmere body lotion that is so popular you'll be grateful you can snag it on Amazon, because otherwise, you'd probably be battling someone in the body lotion aisle for the last bottle. This leaves your skin feeling smooth *and* smelling good. Promising review: "Heaven sent for your skin; heavenly scent to enjoy. This feels absolutely amazing going on. Gets absorbed quickly for a lotion rich with oil. Doesn't leave a greasy feeling, as long as you give it a minute or two to fully absorb. The scent is, for me anyway, like aromatherapy. It smells like an iced sugar cookie, and is a great base layer for fragrance. Very relaxing." — Dragonheart Jo Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in various scents and in packs of two) 30. A highly popular Bio-Oil with vitamin E and chamomile oil to help reduce the appearance of any unwanted acne scars or stretch marks. This helps boost collagen production and rubs in soooo smooth. If you don't take my word for it, just look at the 39,000+ 5-star reviews! Promising review:"A must-have going forward. I am using it on my face just for moisturizing and helping with normal signs of aging. I'm loving how soft and smooth it makes my skin. I use it at night, and put a layer of heavy cream on top (I like Nivea). Scent is absolutely wonderful. Will buy forever." — PanIam Get it from Amazon for $10.26. 31. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey, which has a chokehold on the beauty community because it truly is a shade that looks good on everyone! Reviewers love how moisturizing this feels and how natural it looks (but still love its buildable formula if they're going for a brighter pop of color). Amazon My coworker Emma Lord had this to say:"I was very adamant about not buying this for the longest time because I am stubborn about "expensive" beauty products, but this is worth every penny and then some. It's so lightweight and layerable, it's foolproof to apply, and I have yet to wear a single outfit it doesn't complement??? I love watching it instantly elevate a casual look or add simple elegance to dressy ones. I wear it every day now, and after weeks of use, I've barely made a dent. Also, and maybe this is just me, but I tend to get pigment on my teeth with a lot of lip products, and I've simply never had an issue with this magic stick. Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in a pink honey shade).
