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. Including a top-rated fungal nail renewal treatment, strengethening biotin shampoo, and the viral redness-reducing Lumify eye drops. 1. A super cute set of six silicone Kegel weights because pelvic floor exercises definitely count as a workout and can lead to great results like improved bladder control and, yup, more pleasurable sex. The silicone material means these kegel weights are very simple to clean, with either sex toy cleaners or mild soap and water. Promising review:"Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think [anyone] who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more mad dashes to the rest room because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." — Julie Tauber Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $49.98. 2. 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. 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). 3. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil for all skin types to help purge excess oily sebum, makeup, and blackheads from your pores. Some reviewers even use it as part of a double-cleansing method, which means washing their face with this (an oil-based cleanser) first, and then following up with a water-based cleanser for a skincare regimen that's influencer-worthy. BTW, even reviewers with acne-prone skin love this product and say it doesn't cause breakouts after use! Promising reviews: "This product is incredible. After one use, I noticed a difference. I am so impressed with it. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but I am happy it exists. If you've been buying products to get rid of blackheads and nothing is working, this will make you very happy." — A "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! it also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT." — Sarah Coleman Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 4. A two-pack of dark spot fading bar soap with a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots on your face, neck, and body if that's something you're looking to do. Say buh-bye to buying swim shorts if your inner thighs bother you (they certainly don't need to, we're pro embracing your dark spots!) — and either way, hello to bikini season! Promising review:"I'm big, so my inner thighs have always been darker than the other parts of my legs. I've tried other products for it but nothing has worked. I HAVE BEEN USING THIS SOAP FOR THREE DAYS AND OMG!!!! My inner thighs are SMOOTHER, and they are ALMOST THE SAME COLOR AS THE OTHER PARTS OF MY LEGS, I'M SO SO SO HAPPY!!!! I hate that I didn't take a before picture but trust me!!!! BUY IT!!!! My face also looks brighter and fresher, agghhh!!" — Daphney Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 5. A set of ingrown hair pads for exfoliating your underarms, legs, or bikini area after shaving with a blend of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, witch hazel, and aloe. The sensitive skin-friendly formula can help prevent irritation, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs from popping up when it seems like you just got down from the waxing table (even if it's been weeks, haha)! And these pads are vegan, silicone-, alcohol-, sulfate-, paraben-, and fragrance-free, as well as compostable! Promising reviews: "Works fast with consistency! I applied morning and night making sure to dry 100% before putting on clothes! I'm so happy with my results so far! I've been using it only for four days and my bumps / ingrowns have shrunk and faded! No new ingrowns since I've started! (Also using it with the KP Bump Eraser.) If you've been looking for something that works fast, give this a try — I think you'll be satisfied!!!" — Abby H "So for the past few years anytime I shaved my legs, I would end up with really itchy red bumps all over. They would itch so bad, I would scratch and would start to scar. ...I use [these] right after shaving and then the day after and I have not had itchy irritated legs since! I have tried so many things over the years and this is the only product that has worked so far. I can finally shave and have smooth legs!" — Haley Get a set of 28 from Amazon for $20+ (also available in a set of 60 and three-pack). 6. An aptly named antifungal "Wonder Balm" that'll help you tend to bothersome itchiness, such as jock itch or athlete's foot and, of course, very, very dry skin. The extra-strength, plant-based formula helps keep your skin protected as it works its magical-seeming relief. 7. And a deodorizing bar of tea tree soap created with lemongrass and eucalyptus oils to deliver a refreshing, moisturizing cleanse that also helps clear up fungal infections like jock itch and athlete's foot. If you're a frequent gym-goer or outdoor enthusiast, you'll want to keep this in your duffel bag to help combat sweat, dirt, and odors! Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic. Solpri is a small business specializing in body care products for athletes. Promising review: "This soap lathers well, smells good, and makes skin feel clean and soft. Great for sweaty crevices and skin flareups. I had no problem with it melting too fast, just lather up a sponge/wash cloth and don't use the bar directly on your body with water spraying." — shelly Get a two-pack form Amazon for $17.99. 8. A bottle of sulfate-free Biotin shampoo created with a blend of botanical extracts to help thicken the appearance of your hair. Plus, since it's a clarifying shampoo, it also gets rid of product buildup on your scalp when you use it! 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!" — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, three scents, and a two-pack). 9. Plus Mielle's (TikTok-famous) Rosemary Mint strengthening oil that's 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 10. 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). 11. 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 $28+ (available in two sizes). 12. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle designed to single-handedly (literally) irrigate built-up ear wax from your canals in a similar fashion that a doctor would in an office! Fill the bottle with an ear cleaning solution, apply one of the included disposable tips, place it in your ear, and squeeze the trigger to deliver some much-needed relief. Do you hear that? ...Well, after a thorough cleaning, you can! Included in the kit is the washer bottle and three disposable tips. You can fill the bottle with your preferred ear cleaning solution, and the combination of the solution and targeted application will help loosen up ear wax, so it just falls right out! Doctor Easy is a small business by a doctor who wanted to create better methods for treating patients' impacted earwax issues. Promising review:"Gross photos. My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life and up until this point we have paid to have a professional take care of it. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." — Tea Get it from Amazon for $29.50. 13. Or 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 massive relief. 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. 14. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence, a top-rated, highly-concentrated serum made up of 96.3% snail secretion for a lightweight formula that helps hydrate and restore dry, dull skin, leaving you with a glowing complexion. Whoever thought about adopting a snail's skincare "secret" might actually be a genius. 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 $19.20. 15. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel, which is under $10 *and* has a massive cult following. This gel is practically witchcraft for how well it minimizes swelling and puffiness. This skincare favorite will seriously have you covered after late nights at the office, meeting deadlines before the end of the quarter! 😩 Promising reviews:"I love this product and have noticed a huge difference when using it consistently. I am on the younger side and don't have the worst under-eye bags, but on those occasional mornings when my eyes are puffy with somewhat visible dark circles, this product definitely does the trick! Honestly love all the Good Molecules products." — Hayden Smith "Saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try since the price was amazing. OMG, buy it. I've always had dark circles under my eyes and now fine lines and crow's-feet. While this doesn't completely eliminate my dark circles, the fine lines are really diminished. It wears extremely well under makeup and doesn't feel cakey or like there's a ton of product on." — K. Grant Get it from Amazon for $5.98. 16. And 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 three shades). 17. A popular Eos body lotion beloved by reviewers for its lightweight formula, boasting a blend of skin-loving oils and moisturizing shea butter that leaves your skin silky smooth. Plus, it comes in an assortment of smells so delectable, there's no wonder it's constantly on Amazon's "Trending Best Sellers" list! Trust me, you'll be obsessed *and* moisturized! The most popular scent is their vanilla cashmere, which boasts notes of whipped vanilla, musk, and caramel. Other scents include "coconut waters" (notes of creamy coconut hibiscus) and "fresh and dewy" (a light blend of musk and cassis). Promising review:"Love this lotion. It is very thick and hydrating. Easy to apply. My skin feels very moisturized after application. The smell is definitely the best part. I have sensitive skin, so I struggle to find scented lotion that I like, but this one has not caused any flare-ups on my skin." — Jaquelin g. Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in four scents). 18. A hydrating lip-plumping gloss duo featuring a ginger-infused plumping gloss to deliver expensive-looking volume to your pout by day, and a secondary, minty overnight mask so your lips can be nourished and softened after a full day of giving '90s no-makeup makeup look perfection. No fillers necessary! 19. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that effortlessly aids in the removal of 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). 20. 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! Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief. 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 21. Some dual-sided large shower wipes designed with soothing aloe, chamomile, and vitamin E if you want to wipe down and wash up in the airport restroom after stepping off a 14-hour flight before *finally* starting your much-needed vacay. One side is soft and smooth, while the other has "funk beads" to help with scrubbing and exfoliating to make sure dirt, sweat, and odors don't linger! These wipes are alcohol-, phthalate-, paraben-, and sulfate-free! They also come individually wrapped, so you can keep one in a backpack, gym bag, or purse! BTW — these are from the same creators of the popular SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes! Promising reviews: "I use these wipes every time after playing a round of golf and they are excellent at what they do. Takes the sweat, dirt, sunscreen, mosquitoes repellent and anything else off my body and makes [me] feel fresh again whenever I can't go home to shower. I don't have to worry if I look grimy in the office or anywhere I'm heading after." — Mr. Turyman "Second purchase and I love bringing these camping! It has an exfoliating side, so I feel clean after using it and pleased to see how much dirt it picks up after a weekend in the woods!" — Rachel Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $9.99. 22. A pack of medicated, waterproof wart-removing pads to help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin if freezing hasn't been giving you the results you want. Over 35,000 customers have rated these five stars for their jaw-dropping results (some after just one application)! Promising review:"I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandaid. Amazing!!" — K Pic Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $7.29+ (available in three styles). 23. A stainless-steel blackhead spatula which uses high-frequency vibrations to help unclog pores and exfoliate your skin. After each cleaning cycle, your face will be readily prepped to absorb skincare products and makeup better, leaving you with a more even complexion! ✨ Each cycle runs for just five minutes before automatically shutting off, and TBH that's all you need for a satisfying daily clean! See it in action on TikTok here. I got a facial a couple of years ago and I could tell something was different about my extractions, so I asked the aesthetician to write down the name of the product. I went home and immediately bought this! I LOVE IT. I love it more than any other skincare tool that I own. This thing gets gunk out like nothing I've ever tried before, and the first time I used it, I was absolutely disgusted. But I kept on using it. I don't have much acne, but I do have oily combination skin and visibly clogged pores, so this has been a lifesaver when I don't have time to visit an aesthetician. You have to use it while your face is still wet, so after washing your face or even using toner, and you just start scraping. Make sure you have a paper towel near (and maybe a camera) because you will be amazed and disgusted all at once, but you will literally never stop using. I use mine every other day to once a week if I'm having skincare issues, but it also does a great job with monthly use (it's just much grosser)! I follow mine up with Clinique's Clarifying Lotion 3 and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel! Promising review:"After using this product I have noticed a clarity of my skin that I did not have before. My makeup glides on. People have told me skin looks glowy." — Valerie Santos Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors). 24. A bottle of Bio-Oil that helps fade scars, stretch marks, dark spots, and acne marks. You'll be oh-so-grateful to have a bottle of this magical product on hand to help minimize post-surgery scars once you've finally recovered from tearing your ACL playing corporate kickball! Its moisturizing, multipurpose formula features rosemary, chamomile, and lavender oils, along with vitamins A and E, for a skin-soothing all-over oil. Promising reviews:"This is the first Amazon review I've ever written. I've been using this oil for less than a week and I've noticed SIGNIFICANT improvement in the quality of my skin. I've had deep stretch marks for over 10 years now as a result of puberty and have tried everything to improve their appearance. Nothing had worked until this! After only a few days of use, my old white stretch marks are looking less noticeable. I've also had dark spots on my thighs as a result of ingrowns and razor burn for years as well and those are fading with incredible speed. I will definitely be purchasing this again!" — Torie "My daughter got bit by a dog over the summer and we tried EVERYTHING to help with her scars. The day after we started using Bio-Oil the redness started to disappear. Now after only three weeks, some of the minor scars are gone and the more major scars are visually reducing day by day!" — Hvej Get a 2-oz. bottle from Amazon for $11.12+ (also available in 6.7 oz. and 4.2 oz.). 25. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash to gently exfoliate your skin and help eliminate KP bumps (also known as "strawberry skin"). Plus, its formula boasts a blend of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, which are great for keeping your skin hydrated and looking its best! 26. Plus, an acne-clearing lotion created especially for your bum that features an anti-bacterial and moisturizing formula with tea tree oil to help reduce breakouts. Time to add more thongs to your underwear drawer and show off that rear! Read more about how tea tree oil can help with acne from Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"This product works, but takes time! I have really bad stubborn acne on my butt and thighs... this product did not clear them up right away, considering I have bad acne so that was to be expected. I am now on week three and am finally noticing a difference in the acne. It is actually mostly clear! if you are willing to wait for the results then this is a good product for you. I noticed if you stop using (which I did for a period of time) the acne does come back! So I would use for awhile after skin has healed as well. This is definitely needed for summer time! Thank you so much for making this product, seems to be the only thing that worked for me!" — Anonymous Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 27. A powerhouse trio of serums: retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, which work together to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as brighten, smooth, hydrate, *and* plump your skin for a glowing complexion. Make sure to follow the guidelines from the brand on how to use these three products together for best results! Promising review: "I'm in my mid-30s and realized it was time to step up my skincare game. I always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night weren't cutting it. I happened across this trio and, for the price, thought I'd give it a try. My skin feels AMAZING!!! This trio is worth every penny. I don't even feel like I have to wear makeup all the time anymore and when I do, it goes on so much smoother. This is definitely going to be part of my routine for years to come!" — Caitlin Get the pack of three from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in other sets). 28. An assorted set of precision tweezers that allow you to touch up and groom your brows by hand or quickly remove pesky chin hairs at home, on the go, or even as one reviewer did: in the carpool lane! The set includes four styles of tweezers, each of which is designed for grabbing different types of hair and expert-level shaping. Each set includes a pair of pointed tip, slant tip, flat tip, and angle tip tweezers, an eyebrow razor, curved eyebrow scissors, a dual-ended spoolie brush, and a carrying case. Promising review: "I bought this kit because the pair of tweezers I had couldn't get a single hair anymore. This set is SO amazing, I'm really glad I purchased it!! I tweezed my eyebrows, any hairs on my upper lip, and chin all in a quarter of the time it would've taken me with my old tweezers and each pair had a separate use which made everything so much easier. My eyebrows looked horrible before and now I'm finally so happy with them. My only complaint is that the razor and spoolie don't fit in the actual bag with the tweezers and scissors so it's a bit difficult to take them with me if needed." — unicornfountain Get it from Amazon for $6.64+ (available in four colors). 29. A nail strengthening cream to help 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).

AKA things that do more than one job or simplify your routine for quicker, effortless results — yep, you're not dreaming. 1. Anua Heartleaf + Vitamin E pore-clearing cleansing oil gently cleanses with its lightweight formula but is tough on gunk and heavy-handed on impurities in one go.

A clear, glowing complexion that feels soft and soothed with not a lot of effort. See it in action on TikTok. Promising review: "I've been using the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil for a few weeks, and it's quickly become a favorite. It removes makeup and impurities effortlessly without leaving my skin feeling dry or greasy. The heartleaf extract helps soothe and reduce pore congestion, leaving my skin smoother and softer. It's lightweight, emulsifies well with water, and has a subtle, calming scent. Overall, it's a fantastic cleansing oil that cleanses deeply while improving skin texture and pore appearance." — Katalina 2. Pür Silky Tint Creamy Multitasking Stick blends and melts into skin with a moisturizing, peptide-rich formula to deliver a sun-kissed glow that begs the question, "Who's that girl?!" Oh, it's just you and your new elevated makeup routine. Using the handy applicator, simply dab it on lips, across your cheekbones and nose bridge, plus your brow bone for a unified, year-round, influencer-inspired flush. Ulta Promising review:"The Pur you go pearl multitasking stick is beautiful! The packaging makes it super easy to dispense the product and convenient to take on the go. The pearly color worked really well for my olive undertones. I use two methods for application, the first just my hands — I'll warm the product up on the back of my hand then apply using my fingers to the high points of my cheeks and nose. The second — If I want to get a more precise application I'll pick up the product up with a brush and apply to the inner corner of my eyes and brow bone. The product wears well and layers well both under and over powder. I'm interested to try the more pinky shade now! Highly recommend this!" — Jasmine 3. Living Proof Instant De-Frizzer spray reduces up to 92% of frizz (!!!) so all you have to do to tackle bedhead is give your hair a nice ~spritz~ and simply comb the product through. It also softens your hair between washes and provides UV protection, all with a lightweight and wearable formula. To put it lightly, not all heroes wear capes. Promising review:"This is my savior for winter static and flyaways. I have fine, thin hair which I air dry. Followed the suggested uses by spraying a little in my hand and smoothing over the flyaways and voila! Problem solved." — Bex13 4. Clinique Pop Lip + Cheek Oil in Black Honey dishes out the viral glossy look in a multipurpose formula that saves you time (and money). Ever dreamed of extending the universally complementary hue beyond your lips? Now you can color match your cheeks with the same wash, giving your skin a naturally-flushed look in a pinch. And don't fret, reviewers note that this dries down and doesn't feel sticky. Ulta Promising review:"Didn't know my cheeks needed this. I have never been a big fan of using lip oils in my cheeks but tried this and wow do I love it. It gives me a dewy glow that lasts all day without clogging pores or anything. My cheeks stay on the dry side and this has been a total game-changer. It has become a must-have for my daily routine." — Mel 5. Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint fuses our three main loves in one single product: skincare, makeup, and sun protection. We adore products with magical, good-for-skin ingredients, like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, known for softening and plumping. Not to mention the weightless feel, sheer coverage, and SPF what? 40! C'est magnifique. This is silicone free, fragrance free, oil free, noncomedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin. Note that on application, the shade may appear lighter but after 30–60 seconds, it'll adjust to its true color. Because it's silicone-free, natural separation may occur. This is normal and it'll be fixed when applied to skin. Plus, the bottle is recyclable! Learn how to here. Promising review:"GORGEOUS foundation. I have very sensitive and acne-prone skin and this foundation works wonders on my skin! It goes on so smoothly and does not irritate me at all!" — Jessica 6. Aquaphor's Healing Stick packs natural skin healers like avocado oil and shea butter into one mess-free applicator with multitasking benefits, one that yours truly is actively using to hydrate dry patches and smooth skin creases. But that's not all this wonder balm can do: glide it over skin to prevent chafing and irritation — or toss it in your bag to shield against windburn on the go. Ulta To prevent under-eye dryness throughout the day, the Aquaphor Healing Balm is my MVP. I use it as a priming base for either my tinted eye cream (when I'm going for a no-makeup day) or under my concealer. It gives my skin an instant glow and locks in moisture; it appears to blur lines better than if I were to go without it. I have noticed that my makeup doesn't crease as much when I use it, which is obviously a bonus, but I wouldn't say that it completely prevents cakey-ness. I'm always kicking myself if I forget to apply it, as my skin is noticeably less hydrated, so this will continue to be a mainstay in my routine. Promising reviews:"I'm on my third tube and just ordered another. This is great for lips and dry patches on the face. I also use this as a primer for my concealer. Great product!!" — Lainy "I rub this on my neck and wrists before applying perfume. Makes my fragrance last ALL DAY and project." — Msandy 7. Curlsmith Multi-tasking Conditioner upgrades your hair-softening experience with a protein-packed formula that can be used so many different ways it's got my head spinning (in the best way possible). Apply it as a rinse-out, deep conditioner, or leave-in treatment to achieve your healthiest-looking, hair-commercial-flipping, frizz-free hair. Ulta Blends of babassu, jojoba, and castor oils are there for your hair cuticles — while hemp seed and rice protein offer a plant-based alternative to animal keratin to strengthen strands. Promising review:"I purchased this product because my hair lacked protein. I've used it as a regular conditioner, deep conditioner and leave-in, and it works well for all three! I have 3B/3C hair, and I love using a little bit of it as a leave-in after wash day. It helps my hair remain defined and soft until my next wash." — Chardonnay 8. L'Oréal Plump Ambition Hyaluron Lip Oil 24HR Care with Hyaluronic Acid boosts the look of your lips *as* it moisturizes — no extra lippy masks or balm needed. Ulta Promising review:"Hydrating with a little plump. Lightweight, hydrating, and non-sticky with a nice shine. The plumping is subtle, but it feels great on the lips. A solid lip oil!" — chxrlxy 9. Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Heat and UV Protector primes parched locks for initial post-shower styling *and* day two RE-styling. This frizz-fighting, leave-in formula detangles and shields each strand from sun rays and hot air so roots and tips of different thicknesses and textures can all receive a spritz wherever they require extra moisture. Ulta Oh! This includes six featherlight oils, including coconut, macadamia, and argania kernel, and can be applied to both damp and dry hair for heat-styling protection or just protection from the drying effects of the sun. Promising review:"I am very picky about hair products, and this is my favorite leave-in conditioner! I have dry, damaged yet thinning hair, so its hard to find products that are very moisturizing but dont make my thinning hair greasy. This is the perfect balance. My hair detangles so easily with just a few sprays, and it protects my hair from heat damage as I blow dry and straighten my hair. I will also use a little on my dry hair before straightening and it doesnt weigh my hair down like every leave-in or heat protectant I've used. It smells great too. I tend to spray this into my hands and evenly distribute it through my hair. It truly is one of the best products out there and trust me, I've tried a lot." — Denise 10. Live Tinted Hueguard protects your skin year round sans any annoying, ghostly white cast. It's also great if you don't have the patience (or energy) to apply several products in the a.m., since this mineral SPF 30 sunscreen *plus* primer hybrid moisturizes and preps skin for a no-makeup or full-face-makeup day. This works for all skin tones to leave your face with a beautiful, dewy glow! P.S. This is formulated with 18% zinc oxide (a mineral ingredient that works as a skin protectant — and hooray! Is an FDA-approved sunscreen component that reflects harmful UVs). And yes, it's clean, vegan, cruelty- and fragrance-free, *and* it's reef safe! Live Tinted is a South-Asian woman-owned beauty brand founded by beauty blogger and entrepreneur Deepica Mutyala. Her brand is built around diversity and inclusion with phenomenal multitasking products that address skin concerns like hyperpigmentation. Just peep their top-selling color-correcting Huestick. See why this TikToker is choosing Huegard. I've been writing about Live Tinted's products for some time and finally decided to snag some of their goodies for myself. Hueguard injects a literal ray of liquid sunshine into my daily regimen because, gold. And it really, truly, leaves zero white cast on my face — plus, there's no pilling, either! It blends seamlessly with my complexion, feels ultra-hydrating, and is the perfect base layer for makeup. (That's me above after a few hours of wear with Hueguard layered under some Kosas concealer and One/Size foundation and I've got to be honest — as someone who has had a few acne scars residing on their cheeks for some time and struggles with makeup application — I haven't seen my complexion look this smooth in a minute! AND my no-makeup-makeup look stayed put for hours!) I can't recommend Huegard enough if you're looking to try something new! Promising review:"This has now become my favorite daily sunscreen/moisturizer/primer. They really do mean it when they say 'no white cast,' and the product doesn't feel oily/doesn't block my pores. I love the consistency and that you can travel with it — plus, it's a 3-in-1, so it saves me a lot of time. Highly recommend!" — Ulta Customer 11. Maybelline's Lash Sensational Sky High mascara lifts lashes in one fell swoop, you won't believe you spent under $13 for this kinda finish. Infused with bamboo extract and fibers, it gives lashes a type of spellbinding hold and volume that won't clump or flake. Ulta Promising review: "I have tried all kinds of mascara and keep coming back to this one. It applies well, lasts all day and you can't beat the price." — Doelle 12. Peter Thomas Roth Ultimate 5 Solution Eye Cream features five benefits into its whipped, ultra-hydrating formula. Hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, ceramides, caffeine — oh my — all of which can help improve skin firmness, dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and dryness if applied twice a day. Ulta Promising review:"Extremely effective! I have always been a fan of Peter Thomas Roth, so I tried this eye cream. It outranks every other one I have tried, and I saw a change within a week!" — Audrey Price: $38 13. Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Super Setter spray secures makeup with a lightweight, waterproof mist that lasts up to 16 hours *with* the added benefit of blurring pores for a satin-soft complexion. Ulta Promising review:"I love this setting spray. My friend suggested it and now I've been using it for a few years and it is just so good. It keeps makeup intact for hours while also giving me a hydrated feel. It's very lightweight and sometimes I just spray it on throughout the day to make my makeup look more glowy." — Iris 14. Chi Volcanic Lava Ceramic Pro Spin N Curl gifts you with ~swoonworthy~ curls in mere minutes (without the damage, thanks the highly effective heat-conducting material: volcanic lava). Once you insert your chosen strands, this ingenious tool automatically wraps it around the heated rod — and by some kind of wizardry, it'll reveal a perfectly set curl. No prior hair-swirling experience needed. Promising review:"WOWZA! This is an A+ product. I have fine hair and this creates beautiful curls that last. This year I tried the Shark Flex style only to return because the curls didn't last. I've also used L'Ange Le Trident, but this Chi Lava Spin and Curl blows them both out of the water. BUY IT." — LinLo09 Price: $149.99 15. E.l.f.'s Poreless Putty Primer grips makeup for all-day wear. Simply sweep the velvety-soft formula (that has 5,000+ positive ratings) over skin pre-foundation to smooth out uneven complexions and minimize the appearance of pores in a flash. Ulta Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"Of all the primers I have tried, cheap to expensive, this one is my favorite! It really does blur pores and fine lines. I use this on its own sometimes without makeup. Excellent product at the perfect price!" — Mandie Price: $10 16. Winky Lux Flower Balm cleverly changes color with your skin's pH level. Taking the guesswork out of finding the perfect shade to match your complexion? Done, thanks to this rave-worthy lippy that even has a flower living inside of it.👀 Promising review:"This flower lip balm is so beautiful and moisturizing! It adds hydration to your lips and makes them feel so smooth! After applying, you will notice your lips turning a pretty shade of pink. The shade depends on your pH balance. It adds a pretty flush of color while moisturizing your lips. Perfect for those no makeup-makeup days or to put on at night before bed. The real chrysanthemum floating in the clear balm is so cool and beautiful to look at!! I LOVE it and would highly recommend this flower lip balm!!" — Athena 17. Mighty Patch hydrocolloid pimple patches work to absorb pus and shrink zits ~head on~ without you needing to do any extra work (or popping!). Since adult acne is a thing *sigh*, these are great to prevent picking and, according to one of our editors, are an effective treatment to help avoid scarring and hyperpigmentation. Ulta Melanie Aman, an editor on our Shopping team, tried these out and says:" These are hands down the best pimple patches I've ever used. Why? Because they actually work. I've tried some more cutesy patches that were great for Instagram photos but did nothing to shrink my breakouts. And the pimple patches that touted themselves as basically invisible were — but so were any results. While the Hero Cosmetics pimple patches are a little more visible (but really only noticeable if someone was standing really close to my face), the results are clear to see. (And JSYK, they also make an invisible version, but I have not tried it.) IMO they work best on whiteheads, drawing out the pus and preventing me from picking. Once all the fluids are drained (yum!), I plop a patch on what was once home to a very angry whitehead and replace it twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). In my experience, that has been the best treatment for preventing really noticeable hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, which my skin is really prone to after breakouts." Promising review: "I have a bad habit of picking at my face when it's broken out but these help me not do that and it sucks everything out overnight." — Em 18. Lancôme Dual Finish Multi-Tasking Lightweight Pressed Powder Foundation works wonders as a makeup setting powder, shine reducer, and — get this — a liquid foundation. Press and roll using the included puff for blemish coverage, lightly dust with a brush to set, or dampen a sponge and dab for a long-lasting, creamy finish. Ulta Promising review:"A staple, multitasking product of mine! I've tried many high- end foundations and always come back to this one. I love that I can use it as a finishing powder when my contour is too prominent and I want to even out the color. I use it when I want to take away some shine after my makeup or throughout the day. I also apply it as a medium coverage foundation, using the sponge it comes with for a super easy application and finish. I've worn this all day, serving in a restaurant, and it still looks great at the end of the night. Though I've evolved my makeup routine, this product will stay with me." — D Price: $52 (available in 24 shades) 19. Stila All Day Liquid Eye Liner produces precise, sharp, and downright majestic cat eyes with its long-wear waterproof formula. Invented with a felt tip that's user-friendly, it's perfect for newbs and pros alike who are looking to enhance their eye shape with a bold or subtle look that'll last. Ulta Promising review:"This is my favorite liquid eyeliner (I've tried a couple of drugstore options, as well as the Too Faced eyeliner). This one isn't too wet and glides on perfectly. This product makes it easy to make lines of any size. Very easy to control! The only con is I wish that the product lasted longer." — Sophie 20. Biolage Color Last Conditioner helps inject shine and softness into color-treated hair, so your locks never look lackluster — even after a dye job. It extends the life of your new vibrant hue (for up to nine weeks!) and locks in moisture with its low pH level, leaving hair looking like you just stepped out of the salon — not just your shower. Promising review:"I've been using the Biolage Color Last Conditioner for years. My natural hair color is light brown with a hint of strawberry, but I'm getting gray now, so I have it colored a very natural reddish brown. The Biolage Color Last Conditioner does a great job of conditioning, softening, and detangling my hair without stripping the color. I love this product!" — Jen 21. Ole Henriksen Après Skin Overnight Moisturizer + Mask rescues dehydrated skin with a hyaluronic acid and ceramide-enriched cream. So nifty, it can be used as a targeted treatment for dry patches, rubbed into skin as a moisturizer, or applied as a mask post exfoliants, dermaplaning, or other skin resurfacing treatments. Reviewers laud it for its soothing, plumping, and hydrating abilities. Ulta Promising review:"Whether you're combating everyday dehydration or dealing with environmental factors like cold weather, this product offers a dependable layer of moisture without clogging your pores. Perfect for daily use, it's definitely earned a place in my skincare routine. I appreciate the non-greasy texture as well. If you're looking for something ultra-rich, this might not be your go-to." — Amanda 22. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer camouflages dark circles, blemishes, and dark spots for long wear, crease-free coverage that never flakes. Because once this stuff is blended, it sticks to its plan of keeping your makeup looking on point. Ulta Promising review:"Seriously, this is the best concealer ever and the ONLY makeup product I've never traded out for any other brand! Amazing for covering cystic acne, acne scars, under-eye circles, and redness, it does it all and blends seamlessly and never looks cakey. Great for natural makeup, heavy makeup looks, literally DOES IT ALL." — M 23. Batiste Dry Shampoo freshens up grease-ridden hair instantly — and as an added bonus, it also creates volume. Pro tip: Spritz this on your roots before bed and let it work the night shift on your oily locks for a serious time-saving solution. Ulta Promising review:"I really love this dry shampoo. I have heard of this name brand for such a long time but always went with other dry shampoos. I smelled this in store and it smells so good, really fresh and light. I'm so glad I decided to buy this because it really gets the job done. It makes my second-day hair look like I washed it that day and it looks, feels, and smells awesome. I have brown hair and I also haven't noticed any white residue, which means it is absorbing up all the oil like it's suppose to. For the price and size of the can you get, you can't go wrong with getting this." — Jenn 24. Nudestix Nudies Matte Lux All Over Face Blush delivers a buttery-soft, peachy flush that you can use as an eyeshadow, blush, or lipstick. Designed with a built-in brush, take this vitamin-E-enriched, multitasking marvel on the go for first applications and end-of-day touch-ups. No extra tools or products needed. Ulta Promising review:"Blush is not an integral part of my routine so being able to keep this in my bag to brighten up my cheeks when I need to is great. Obviously purchased it because I can apply it, keep my hands clean and not have to carry around in additional brush or beauty blender." — Vi 25. RoC Vitamin C Brightening Serum for Dark Spots & Uneven Tone supplies the skin with not one, but two benefits: brightening and tightening. This noncomedogenic serum can help improve radiance, minimize dark spots, *and* the appearance of fine lines with peptides that assist with the loss of skin elasticity. Ulta Promising review:"This is the second time I have purchased this, and I love how it brightens my skin and removes dark areas. I have used other products twice as pricey and never got results like I do with this. Great for sensitive skin, too!" — MkMeLaugh 26. Curlsmith Hold Me Softly Style Balm offers a lightweight curl-enhancing formula that — ta-daaa — gives tresses some oomph without the crunch. Think: frizz control paired with soft definition; best applied to wet, sectioned-off hair that you can wrap and now shape with ease. Ulta Promising review:"I hope they never discontinue this!!! I use this generously under my gel on wash days (on very wet hair), and it smooths and softens my coarse, low-porosity hair like a dream! I also love to use this to dry refresh my curls on days 2-4 and it's amazing at smoothing down my frizz! It's so lightweight and I love that it dries down super soft :-)" — K Reviews have been edited for length and clarity.

Look, I'm Not Telling You To Buy These 44 Products, But Hundreds Of Amazon Reviewers Are And We *Both* Better Listen
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. When 35,000 people recommend one specific hair wax stick... you listen. 1. A nongreasy hair wax stick with a whopping 35,000 5-star reviews — a lightweight solution for anyone who wants smooth edges and slick buns that'll last all dang day. BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out " Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna." Promising review:"This product works miracles on my little frizzy curls near my face! I never liked my hair back in a ponytail until I found this. It doesn't leave your hair looking greasy (as long as you don't apply way too much), and it holds it down for most of the day!" — Danielle Ball Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 2. A set of breathable seamless thongs specifically loved by several reviewers who "never wear" thongs and "hate" thongs. Folks say these are comfortable all day *and* claim they're comparable to (and even better than!) brands like Skims and Victoria's Secret. I'm sold. Like, literally. Buying now. Promising review: "After trying these, the pursuit for the most seamless underwear ended with these, and I came to write that on my way to buy a second pack. I worked at VS for three years, what seems like forever ago, and tried every 'seamless' thong under the sun- at the store and otherwise- all of which rolled, were still visible, or the liner was not cotton, which just feels gross by the end of a workout or the end of the day. These aren't that. They DISAPPEAR under all the workout attire. Anti-camel toe… HELLO?!?! They don't hold sweat. They don't roll. They don't move around. I just had my fourth baby and first C-section a couple of months back, and these are wide enough in the front. What is this panty sorcery? I threw out everything else from anywhere else. Follow the size guide. I washed in warm water upon arrival, even with the red in the pack, and none of the colors bled. I've washed 2x, and they look the same as when I first opened the box. They're wildly comfortable for a thong from someone who despises every thong and even other styles of underwear I've ever tried. Picky lady problems, the list went on. Always something wrong about them on my body. NOT THESE! What!?!! I work out in these, run errands, housework ahhhh — they're my new go-to that I ditched everything else. Comfy, sexy, stretchy, actually so seamless that they don't exist under clothing, and a fantastic deal… It's sorcery, I'm convinced." — Ebony Get a set of six from Amazon for $24.98 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and 10 color packs). 3. Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil with the most impressive review photos I've seen in my little life! Reviewers swear up and down over how well this erases blackheads and sebaceous filaments. Use this as the first step of your cleansing routine, and then just rinse with water. Watch your blackheads disappear so quickly they won't even have a chance to say goodbye. Aww, sad. As with all skincare products, if you're acne-prone YMMV, depending on the cause of your acne. Promising review: "I can't live without this cleansing oil; it's magic in a bottle. this is the only thing that's been able to clear the sebaceous filaments on my nose after consistent use daily!! it also helps the milia/filaments under my eyes! LOVE ITTTTT WHO LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT DOUBLE CLEANSING AT NIGHT" — Sarah Coleman Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 4. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller so that cleanup is a breeze and it doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding is their greatest skill. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 5. A milk frother for coffee connoisseurs who have ~bean~ wanting a tool that creates a rich, creamy froth for their daily drinks. Make this at home and feel like the rad, if pretentious, barista you're too afraid to talk to when you go out for coffee. Promising review:"All of my friends and family had this so naturally I had to get one and I am obsessed. Makes every homemade coffee taste like you went out and bought one. Very affordable and worth every penny. I love that is comes with a cute holder for it." — Kayla Dillinger Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in several colors). 6. A set of Wonder Hangers so you can stack outfits, categories, or even *colors* of clothes with a vertical system, using up closet space in the most efficient (and A-type-friendly) way possible. Amazon It comes with six hangers that can hold five garments each, 10 if you double them up! Promising review:"I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." — CAGH Get a pack of six from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two colors and a larger pack). 7. A TBH *too* nice Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop created to both vacuum and mop at the same time. Unlike our old dummy mops, this robot has a separate tank that stores the dirty water, and it retains 90% of the stuff, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing! Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." — Tsippi Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in four styles). 8. A Bio-Oil, beloved by many a skin-having human, made with a powerful blend of moisturizing oils and vitamins that'll aid in fadin' scars you'd rather have bippity-boppity- boop off your body. Promising review:" I am a 70-year-old woman with all the skin issues those years bring: fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, uneven skin tone, and dry patches. This oil is lightweight, absorbs nicely, and has a fairly pleasant smell, although a bit flowery. The main thing is it works. I could tell a difference in my skin the first week of use. My skin is hydrated and glowing, and the overall tone has improved considerably. Believe me when I say I have used a lot of serums, oils, and moisturizers over the years. I wish I had found this oil years ago." — Connie J Get it from Amazon for $10.06. 9. A cooling blanket brilliantly knit with fibers that *absorb* body heat so you can stay covered without melting this summer. One side is a classic cotton and the other side has an ~Arc-Chill~ fabric that's literally cool to the touch. Ahem, cool. Promising review: " Sorcery! I don't know what makes this blanket work, and I don't care. The fact is that IT DOES!!! I overheat at night a lot because I live in Arizona. I got this blanket at the exact right time, and I'm THRILLED!!!" — Amanda Julia Hess Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in four sizes and 12 colors). 10. And a pair of cooling pillowcases with thousands of dreamy reviews from *previously* sweaty sleepers. If you find yourself waking up to flip to the cool side of the pillow over and over at night, the time has come to get these in your life. Sleep well! Promising review: "Super happy with these pillowcases — both sides are fairly cool, but the cooling side never warms up, which is wonderful in 110-degree California summers. They do not smell (something I worry about with nontraditional linen fabrics). They do tend to get a little wrinkly, but since they zip up, they quickly smooth out." — Tonia Get them from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in four sizes and seven colors). 11. A tube of Essence mascara, available in both black and brown, that'll make your lashes so long and full it'll look like you stole them right off of Harry Style's angelic face. This mascara was one of my first BuzzFeed shopping list impulse purchases! I was sold by all the wild customer images (it feels like this stuff makes lashes illegally long!) and positive reviews. I was *so* excited to get my hands on their brown version! I have naturally light lashes and red hair, so black lashes look really unnatural on me. I've loved using the brown and having a color that better complements my skin/hair. Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat like this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Miller Get it from Amazon for $4.74 (available in two colors). 12. A breakfast sandwich maker so you can break up with your morning fast food commute and make yourself a 5-star worthy breakfast from the comfort of your counter. Eggcellent. The surfaces are covered with durable, nonstick coating, and all removable parts are dishwasher-safe. Promising review:"FAM. I need you to lissssssten. I would give this product 87 stars if I could. You'd think it would be one of those gimmicky kitchen appliances that barely even works. EXCEPT you're wrong. It's amazing. It's quick. Look. Lissssten. You put the ingredients in and about two minutes later your tummy is all like 'oh yesssss.' Basically. Just buy it. Purchase the sammich maker. You're welcome." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors). 13. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream formulated with cupuaçu butter, coconut oil, and açai oil to give your skin a powerful dose of hydration. It'll also wake up and temporarily tighten your skin with the same stuff you use to become awake and alert for the That's right, our skin enjoys the stuff as much as the rest of us. This smells like vanilla and caramel, which means it's basically a latte for your skin. Delicious. You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I've tried a lot of products, and this one works the best out of everything I've tried. I love the scent. Sol de Jeneiro makes a body spray of it, and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." — Stephanie Hooper Get a 2.5-ounce jar from Amazon for $24 (available in three sizes). 14. A pair of reusable silicone nipple covers designed for all the summer dresses that feel like they're ruined by a bra. And I mean *summer* dresses — these are totally waterproof, so go ahead and enjoy the heat! There will be no need to ~sweat it~ in these. BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. Promising reviews: "These covers are AMAZING! I used them for the first time this weekend during my bachelorette because of how much white I would be wearing, and they were perfect. I usually use petals, but sometimes you can see the shape of the petal, and my nipple still shows, but these covered my boobs perfectly, and you couldn't see them through a see-through white body suit. They lasted through the night when I forgot to take them off before bed and also lasted through tonsssss of sweaty dancing. I never leave reviews, but I had to spend the word. All my girls on the trip were amazed by them and are all ordering now." — Amazon Customer Get a pair from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes, with or without lift, and five shades). 15. An illuminating moisturizer — if you're looking to add a lightweight alternative to your thick foundation and want an extra *glow*, then you're gonna adore this! Reviewers say it's basically like if Glossier's Futuredew and Drunk Elephant's Bronzing Drops had a brilliant, beautiful skincare baby. Promising review:"I can't believe how long this has been around! I tried Glossier's Futuredew and realized it felt sort of too oily (and too expensive) for me. This product is SUCH an amazing duplicate that is slightly better! It's not oily, but provides lightweight shimmer that I mix with my sunscreen for extra sun protection with some highlight effects. I love this! Does not make my super sensitive skin break out or feel oily like the Futuredew did." — e_whospends_money Get it from Amazon for $13.98 (available in five shades). 16. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher! 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. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four styles and four colors). 17. An exfoliating mitten lots of folks love for preventing ingrown hairs, reducing KP, and smoothing out their skin before applying tanning lotion. I personally love using an exfoliating mitt in the summer after a day covered in sunscreen and sand. There's no better way to get rid of that goop! Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas. Promising review:"MAGIC. HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THIS MIT! This cleared up 80% of the 'chicken skin' I have INSTANTLY after one use. Also, it took off way more dead skin than any scrub I've ever used. I never write reviews, so I had to when I got this and loved it." — Cheyanne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (also available as a pair). 18. A jealousy-inducing Melissa & Doug ice cream counter — it'll be tons of fun to play ice cream shop with your kids, for sure, but they *always* get to be the ice cream maker! When is it gonna be YOUR turn to scoop the ice cream cones?! It looks so fun! The wooden ice cream counter comes with eight ice cream scoops, six toppings, two cones, cup, scooper, tongs, wooden spoon, reusable menu card, and six pretend dollar bills. Promising review:" Fun toy set for a creative toddler. My newly-turned-3 year old daughter instantly fell in love with this set! She loves seeing how high she can stack the ice cream cones and pretending to serve Mom & Dad her creations. She's been obsessed with climbing things around the house and we *desperately* needed a distraction to get her to stop, and this is working so far — she plays with this thing for HOURS!" — West Family Get it from Amazon for $42.76. 19. A drywall repair kit can save your walls from the "save" your goalie made the *one* time you let your kids play ball in the house. Promising review:"This spackle is so handy! Much easier and faster than opening a regular container of spackle, then finding a putty knife to use and sand paper. Everything you need is right there. I filled close to 50 small holes and nicks from kids throwing toys, etc. in less than 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend this." — Michelle Smith Get it from Amazon for $13.38. 20. A set of bedsheet clips for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. Get this and keep those laundry clods from wasting precious drying time! Amazon Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association. Promising review:"Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" — katy Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 21. A ridiculously charming exfoliating stick that'll gently scrub your skin, drawing out excess sebum, whiteheads, and blackheads from your pores. This removes the gross octo- puss from inside your pores! Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." — LuckLocust Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 22. A set of carriage door magnets — throw these snazzy things on your garage and you're gonna make your sedan feel sensational every time you pull into the driveway. Amazon, Promising review:" These really dressed up our garage door!!!! UPDATE!! It has been almost a year since I purchased these. They have faded ever so slightly but still hold on to the metal of the garage door and have not cracked with the cold of winter or heat of summer. Very pleased!!!" — Robert R Get a standard set from Amazon for $14.34+ (available in five kit styles). 23. Cerave eye repair cream, which is cooked up with their famous blend of ceramides (a skincare "secret sauce" if you will) and a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin. If you're revitalizing your skincare routine, add this to the mix and reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, *and* fine lines. ~Eye~ love to see it. Promising review:"What sorcery is this??? Listen I'm 48, and I've bought a lot of face cream 'stuff' over the years. Expensive stuff that did nothing. Finally started using Cerave thanks to my 19-year-old daughter and TikTok, lol. I decided to try the eye cream, and I noticed a difference the morning I started using it. The brightening is apparent. Love this stuff." — Michelle Petrosh Get it from Amazon for $14.44. 24. A high pressure rainfall showerhead with a stainless-steel finish that's sleek and a rainwater feature that's gonna be ooh-so-soothing. Promising review:"Incredible product!!! Buy it! This rainfall shower head gives me the best showers of my life." — Rivka Polanksy Get it from Amazon for $36.59+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 25. A — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $98.59+ (available in three styles). 26. A tattoo aftercare salve that'll make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out-of-this-world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $16.40+ (available in two styles). 27. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to polish your toilet without you ever having to touch a dirty toilet brush. With each flush, the stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet. Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.44. 28. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.29. 29. A refillable roll-on sponge sunscreen applicator sure to make putting on sunscreen (both on your kids *and* on yourself) less of a chore. This goes on fast and blends in easily – no mess required! Families and other folks who look like *dweebs* slathering on sunscreen are sure to look at your quick application with envy. Promising review:"My children are fair-skinned and extremely easy to burn. Wearing sunscreen is not optional, but they still fight me every time. Using this product was so fast and easy they didn't even complain!!" — Jeshleigh Get it from Amazon for $23.98 (available in seven colors and two-packs). 30. An oscillating tower fan with six speeds (we're talkin' up to 24 feet per second velocity), three modes, and a surprisingly quiet design despite its power. One reviewer nicknamed this "THE GLACIER" and gushed about it being "better than your air conditioner." If you're intimidated by installing an A.C. in your fourth-floor gonna be a big fan of this gadget. This includes a remote control and LED lights that turn off in sleep mode. Spiffy! Promising review: " Cools like magic. Great fan. It's super hot this summer, and I would not survive without it. Several speeds and functions. Quiet. Durable thus far, and it has run 18 hours a day every day since May. I didn't think the remote was a big deal but now I wouldn't want to be without it. Would recommend and buy again." — Javygirl Get it from Amazon for $79.98+ (available in three colors and two styles). 31. A dishwasher magnet for making sure everyone at home knows whether the dishes inside are g2g or still covered in leftovers. Amazon Promising review:"A stylish, functional little magnet. Eliminates the need to wonder if that cup looks dirty or is it just hard water etc. Also just looks cute on the dishwasher. I do not run mine daily as I have a small household and when it does get filled, more often than I'd like to admit, the clean dishes live in the dishwasher, getting picked off as needed. This makes that process much simpler." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $3.78. 32. An inconspicuous jar opener, because you're not gonna let arthritis, or poor upper body strength, get in the way of your pasta sauce and pickles. Promising review:"I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet, I put mine so the wide opening faces forward. I personally think every house should have one of these." — Addie Get It from Amazon for $15.99. 33. A fabric defuzzer that'll clean up sweaters, sofas, and other aging fabrics that have been a real ~pill~ lately. The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. Promising review:"Okay, I don't normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I'm depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I'm obsessed. I can't stop. I should send this back. I've started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I'm going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." — Sydney Jensen Get it from Amazon for $9.29+ (available in four colors and two styles). 34. A storage bean bag so your kid can use their signature "shove the mess where people can't see it" technique and still make their room look, you know, *actually* clean. Promising review:"This has saved my sanity!! Our stuffed animals and blankets always ended up all over the basement. Thanks to this awesome chair, they are now all contained and they make for a super cozy reading nook under the stairs. The quality seems excellent. I expect it will last for many years! The stuffed chair is also cozy – double win!" — Emily Heilman Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in two sizes and eight styles). 35. A microfiber dusting glove, because microfiber is the very best material to use when picking up pesky dust particles, and you're gonna see why when you use this! Whoever thought to turn a cleaning cloth into a glove is a true genius. Amazon, Promising review:"Do you hate having to dust around things? I know I do. This glove is ideal — you can just wipe away dust while easily maneuvering around odds and ends in your way. Because it's your own hand inside the glove it's also easy to maneuver over oddly shaped things like silk plants or blinds. I absolutely recommend this!" — Katherine Wise Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 36. A multi-use car hammer can help you escape from your car in an emergency – the safety edge slicer can cut through your seatbelt and the rounded hammer breaks through windows and windshields. Promising review:"My puppy got tangled in her leash, car seat safety clip, harness clip, and seat belt. The release buckles could not even release because it was twisted so tightly. I knew I had to cut her free, it was such a relief when it hit me I had the seat belt cutter under the seat. I never thought I would use it, but so glad I had it today (pictured above)." — Elizabeth Get two from Amazon for $9.49. 37. An overflow cap for anyone who wants a long soak in a bath that's as full as possible! Amazon, Promising review:"Baths have changed for me forever now! I can actually FILL THE TUB and not hear that dreaded sound of half my water (and my expensive magnesium flakes, essential oils, organic bubble baths, and other fancy therapeutic ingredients) tragically vanishing down the drain. If you're a larger person trying to fit in a smaller tub especially, you STRUGGLE IS REAL. Now I can take more baths and enjoy more warm coziness. All because of this little bit of silicone!" — anonymous Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in eight colors). 38. A bug bite suction tool that can remove bits of insect saliva and other irritants after a bug bite, keeping you from scratching your skin off after a mosquito finds its way into your campsite. Btw, this is a small woman-owned biz! Promising review:"Amazing! I am in complete shock at how well this worked. My son got stung by a wasp as you can see in my photo. After we did the suction he stop complaining about it hurting!" — Angela z Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in seven color and pack options). 39. A moisture meter to place deep down into the soil so you know exactly how much water your plant is getting. Under- and overwatering is a thing of the past, people! Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed I love having this tool in my home! I jumped on the 2020 plant trend fast and have filled my home with tons of botanicals (that all have different watering schedules). The meter tells you if a plant is being over-watered or under-watered right down to the root, which is very necessary for a plant parent (who used to be a plant murderer) like myself. Promising review:"This item is great. I can check how wet my plants are down where the roots are. So no more over watering! It is very accurate. This works great!!" — Terri Carlson Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in three colors). 40. A can of fire extinguishing spray designed for sparking your muscle memory, because nothing sounds scarier than not knowing how to use an extinguisher when you notice a fire start to spark. 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 $13.84. 41. A garlic rocker sure to, ahem, rock your world. This tool is way easier than a traditional garlic press. I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle, it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant. Promising review:"I like garlic very much, so I use this garlic press every day. It works very well, is easy to use, and easy to clean. Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in two colors). 42. A hanging garbage bag holder so you can easily dispose of your scraps without a trek to the trash can every single step of the recipe. Amazon Promising review:"I love this product because I'm always chopping vegetables and cutting up meat. I would be making several trips to the trash. Now I'm able to make meal prep quicker, easier, and cleaner! A good way to use up some of those plastic bags from the grocery store, too!" — Ellen Holcomb Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 43. A set of shelf dividers to make stacking your folded laundry a much neater process. Promising review:"I love these! I just have a shelf on top of my closet. I keep my leggings there. These dividers separate the leggings and make everything so much more organized. I'm buying more to do my linen closet! You need these!" — Lynn Blue Get a pair from Amazon for $17.99. 44. A set of five plastic pipes that'll keep your kiddo entertained in the bath long enough you actually get them clean. Washing your child without a tantrum will no longer be just a ~pipe~ dream! Amazon Promising review:" Our 18-month-old adores these. His older sisters (five and seven) have also been enjoying them in the tub. They work great and stick really well. The only negative is that we have temper tantrums now because baby boy wants to take a bath all the time. We can't get him out of the tub now!" — JKinSD Get them from Amazon for $14.76+ (available in two set styles). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
