Including a toilet-cleaning pumice stone with an extra-long handle, some hard-working boob tape, and more! Promising reviews: "My daughter's hair was lime green from a friend's swimming pool. Not wanting to spend $40 on this, I tried a few other things first, and it was a giant waste of time. I should’ve just gotten this first. It removed ALL the green with just one packet, and the shampoo and conditioner made her hair feel so hydrated (and they smell amazing, too!). If you’re on the fence, just buy this. It’s worth every penny." —Amanda E "Our pool filter went down for a few days, and when they said it was safe to swim in again, they didn’t mention the amount of chemicals they must have used. My daughter's hair went from silky white to crunchy and neon green in like, 20 minutes of swimming!!!!! I tried three different swim shampoos and none of them did a thing! My hairdresser recommended this to me, so I figured I’d give one more product a shot. This is literally a miracle product! I saw the green disappearing before my eyes. My daughter's hair is back to its beautiful blonde silk, and I am SO grateful to have found this!" —Ross Greenman Promising review: "So I was in a car wreck on June 3, 2024, and in the first picture [above] you can see a lot of the markings that are on my face. I just got this concealer in the mail today, and not a moment too soon, because I have an important Zoom meeting. You want to talk about coverage!!!! Now purple is a really hard color to cover, but this product did it, and I took a picture [above] just to show how well! I am super impressed. Plus, the price point is amazing, and it's just as effective as any high-end product. It went on silky smooth! Thank you, E.l.f. cosmetics, you saved me!" —Jessica Get it from Amazon for $5 (available in five shades). BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown has tried these and says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale,~ I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties, because quite frankly, I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable. I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh, and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5-stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!" Get a set from Amazon for $28.50+ (available in five shades, a lifting option, and three sizes: cups A–C, D+, and DD+). It even includes a test patch, so you can make sure the tape doesn't irritate your skin before wearing it. The tape is designed with a strong hold, so removal will absolutely require saturating the tape in oil before slowly and gently peeling it off! Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy, they were too far down, and one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic with only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs, AND they looked amazing. I'm a D-cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90 degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." —MelBee Visible LED devices only treat pimples, and results vary depending on the person. Read more about how to use them at the American Academy of Dermatology. Promising review: "This is the best thing I've ever done for my acne-prone skin. I put off purchasing a light system like this for years because of the cost. My hormonal acne got to the point where I was always having a breakout, so I finally tried this. After just one session, I could see a noticeable difference. A week of daily treatment, and my acne is healing. This was all I was hoping for, just incredible... The only other thing I've done that is great is microneedling. If I had to pick one tool to invest in, though, this would be it." —amy dowell 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: "I bought this for the first time a few years ago to replace the body lotion I had previously used for years and years. While more expensive, I was willing to try Bum Bum cream based on the previous reviews. And it has not disappointed! Not too thick. Not sticky. And the smell is amazing. I get told many times a week how good I smell." —Libby Solomon Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in four sizes, refills, and multipacks). This solution works with Keurig, Nespresso, Delonghi, Hamilton Beach, Braun, Bunn, Cuisinart, Tassimo, Krups, Saeco, and other brewing machines! Promising review: "I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up, and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." —Lenore Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). Read more about sulfur in cleansers and acne at Mayo Clinic. Joesoef Skin Care is a small business creating a range of acne skincare treatments. Promising review: "I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to unclog or minimize the appearance of those stubborn pores. This has a slight sulfur smell; it is not overwhelming, and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores appear much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." —Sandy G Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two scents and in multipacks). Promising review: "This stuff works fantastically to remove that sticky goop left over when smoking a brisket for 15 hours. Spray it on, let it sit for a few, use a limestone block to scrub, and rinse with a hose outside. I haven't found anything better for anywhere near the price either. I have tried over a dozen different things, and this is now my go-to product." —GlocksNdonuts Make sure to follow the guidelines from the brand on how to use these three products together for the 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 Power Trio Set from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in other sets and formulas). The set includes a brush for tile lines, a handled brush for grooves and gaps, a dustpan cleaning brush, a window blind brush, and one brush for cleaning window tracks. Promising review: "We just moved, and the previous owners of our new house left us a wonderful amount of dust and dirt to clean. I was originally looking for just a vent cleaner and stumbled upon these multi kits. The price point is amazing, and it really does seem like a do-it-all kit." —Ty Loli Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/Schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini Goldendoodle who is prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it's extremely sandy, and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was ridiculous. Now it takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously, the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). 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 $5.97 (also available in multi-packs). Because of the color-balancing, each shade option is designed to work with a range of skin tones. For example, the pink would be best for fairer skin, and the orange-ish hue would work for deeper skin tones. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). Promising review: "The difference in my closet because of the hangers alone is striking. I can finally shift clothes to the side to actually see what I have. While some may think that saving their money and dealing with a tight closet is worth it, I am completely sold on making the change. So happy I pulled the trigger. I've purchased 100 more just now so that I can do the same for my boyfriend's closet." —ChristineSD Get a 30-pack from Amazon for $16.19+ (also available in 50- and 100-packs and in nine colors). Promising review: "Can’t beat the price of this two-pack scraper. I took one and shared the other with my husband. We both like that it’s stainless steel, which makes them very durable, rust-resistant, and a breeze to clean. Most importantly, this ensures that we do not neglect cleaning our tongue, which makes our mouths feel cleaner and fresher." —Yaya B Of course, this is not an overnight miracle product. You should apply this 2–3 times a day, and eventually, you may start to see results! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby has used this, and here's what she has to say: "Oh! BTW, I bought this. Last year I got a dermal piercing on my chest and since literally just about every piercing I've ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too. I got the piercing in February of 2023, and around May, I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I had written about this stuff a few times, so the light bulb went off, and I immediately bought it. I consistently used it twice a day, and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic, within a month. Keloids are a serious nightmare, and I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I even *accidentally* ripped it out in November and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming cuz I just knew it'd get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada. This stuff always gets rid of keloids for me; it's such a lifesaver. You do have to be patient and consistent; this is NOT an overnight miracle, but it's worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for like another week or two even after your keloid goes away juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life." Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (also available in multipacks). Check out a TikTok of the bacon microwave cooker in action. Promising review: "Best way to make bacon!!!!! I will never cook bacon any other way. Bought one for me and one for my daughter. Buying one for my MIL for Christmas." —Lisa Eldridge Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors and in a two-pack). Promising reviews: "We have very hard water, and I've tried multiple cleaners, vinegar, The Pink Stuff, Bar Keepers Friend, and citric acid, to get rid of the toilet hard water ring. Nothing seems to work. I bought these with low expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised. They work very well. The ring is gone! The only downside is that they have a rectangular shape, which isn't ideal for cleaning the toilet. However, they do wear down and reshape with use. They are like a magic sponge, in that, they wear down when used, which is to be expected of a pumice stone." —Gerald F. Schulz "My toilet bowl was horribly stained. I’ve tried all sorts of sponges, steel wool, baking soda, and sharp objects to scrape the stained areas. Nothing I did worked to eliminate the staining. Feeling desperate, I bought these pumice stone wands. A huge source of embarrassment exists no more! The toilet is restored to like-new cleanliness. The wands are easy to use and work quickly. The price of this item is fantastic when considering the amazing result. Definitely give this product a try." —Margaret Sheffield Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two colors). The kit includes a wand, six refill heads filled with Clorox, and a storage caddy that sits right next to the toilet! The wand is easy to use and has a button to pop the used sponge head off, so you don't have to touch it — and the sponge heads are even designed specifically to fit under the rim of your toilet! Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney Promising review: "I've used a lottttt of different lip plumping products. Currently, I use this one, a $40 one from Lancer, and Lip Injections by Too Faced and honestly, no cap, I prefer this one out of them all. I actually see the biggest difference with this one and it doesn't feel awful like the Too Faced one. 10/10 would recommend." —Autumn Nelson Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two styles). The kit includes a double-sided foam sponge and bristle brush, a fine-tooth comb, and a storage stand. Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children’s and the American Academy of Dermatology. Promising review: "A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap, and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone, and it does wonders on the scalp and keeps the hair looking nourished. Highly, highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." —LM01 Promising review: "Absolutely love this stuff! It's the one hair product I have to have. I rotate shampoos and conditioners, but I've never found anything for damp hair that I like as much as this. It says it's for curls, but works great on straight hair, too." —Bunco Queen of the Universe Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (also available in a pack of two). Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired, 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding, no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." —DH Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors and another style). Read more about topically-applied arnica and how it may help with bruising and pain relief at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stunt person told me I should use Arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" —J. Yount Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes, a two-pack, and gel formulas). Use it quickly because it expires in 24 months! Promising review: "So, I bought this in the hopes of being left famished and never placing my hands in my mouth again. AND IT WORKED! I put the polish around my nails AND skin, hoping for it not to harden like regular clear polish, and to my surprise, it was not uncomfortable and dried EXTREMELY fast. Now THE TASTE!!! It is HORRIBLE LOL, it tastes like somebody mixed alcohol and Windex in a bottle and sprayed it in my mouth. It's not the kind of taste you could ever get used to, unless you're used to spaying perfume into your mouth by accident. Water is not enough to get rid of the taste. I would recommend brushing your tongue and lips to fully get rid of the taste because IT'S THAT STRONG! BUY IT!!!!" —carla Promising review: "Got kids or a messy spouse? You need these! I go through a lot of Mr. Clean erasers, so much that it was easier to cut them in half first because the centers are always the first to go. Then, when I found this magnificent pack, I had to try it, and I'm glad I did. They are smaller and fit my hand better, but also thicker. They seem to work better with less effort, which is awesome! Worked great on a Crystal Light counter stain, a bathroom rust ring, a drain circle, and scuff marks on sinks, crayons on walls, Sharpie on binder, a ring around the door knob from greasy mechanic hands on my new unpainted white door, and even the spot high up on the wall next to the toilet where one would lean his hand because it might get out of control if he doesn't have that extra stability? Anyway you get the point; they are awesome." —Sherry Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
