Promising review: "This stuff is some magic sorcery. I’m not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fireplace that nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that…everything I’ve tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn’t even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." —Kim Montero BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says, "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate." For more deets, check out her full Mighty Patch review! Promising review: "I am a 40-something woman who still gets pimples. I tried a wide swath of pimple patches. These are the best. Like the goldilocks of patches — some were very adherent but took off skin to remove, some fell off very quickly — these are just right. And they work. They reduce the inflammation and keep gunk from getting in. They also keep you from picking at the zit. My teenage daughter also uses them and they work for her. I have very fair skin and she is much darker and they seem to blend nicely with both skin tones." —K. Dahl Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of 72 and 75). Promising review: "I love love this charger. It's chic, modern, and charges all your Apple gadgets like a pro. The best travel multicharger you can get for half the price compared with the original and other brands. I took this charger while I traveled for a whole month to Europe, to different cities, and it was extremely convenient; it's the only charger I use at home too. I'm writing this review six months after purchasing (I usually wait a while to write reviews to make sure the product delivers accordingly, and it is durable), and it is still like brand new. Get it, you won't regret it. I'm very satisfied with the quality." —Yakelin Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors). If it starts to run low on battery, it'll automatically go back to its base to recharge. Reviewers do recommend keeping stray items like socks and cords off the floor before running this. Promising review: "This robo vacuum is incredible! I have three dogs and a cat; this vacuum is a time saver. I run it each day and it has done an incredible job of keeping pet hair, dirt and debris picked up in my home. Works well on carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. Wish I had purchased it sooner!" —t. hampton They each use three AAA batteries (not included), so be sure to grab some. Promising review: "As we get older, some of us develop brittle bones at the same time that it becomes more difficult to see in the dark. Combine the two, and the risk of a fall leading to a broken hip, a long convalescence, and a potential shortening of our life span becomes real. Every night that I come to bed later than my sweetheart, or need to get up to hit the bathroom, I am faced with an impossible choice: Do I turn on a light and risk waking her up, or do I fumble my way along in the dark and risk a nasty fall? After a little research, I discovered this perfect lifesaver — a trio of small, very sensitive and very bright momentary lights, which I stuck to three strategic spots — two near the bottom of our dresser and one around the corner leading to the bathroom — problem solved. A well-lit path along the floor which comes on and off only when needed." —SocraticMethod Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors and in packs of three or six). Promising review: "The mini size of this waffle maker is what makes it easy to use, store, clean, and create many recipes effortlessly. It's a no-mess waffle maker because all you need is to pour the batter. Once the maker is ready, you wait until it's done. A crispy/crunchy/munchy treat that's ready to devour. No fuss of too many settings, buttons, or learning whatsoever! This is as easy as it can be. Such a good quality, durable, versatile product at a reasonable price. Worth every penny!" —An average human. Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in six colors). Kitchen Gizmos is a small business that specializes in kitchen accessories. Promising review: "I've owned this for about six months, and I couldn't imagine cooking without it. I hate strainers. They are bulky and fill up the dishwasher, I'm lazy, whatever. This strainer is a lifesaver. Clip it on your pan, strain, and voila! And it is so easy to clean. A little hot water and it's good to go for the next round. I highly recommend this gadget, it will retire your current strainer." —Viola Evens Get it from Amazon for $12.53+ (available in seven colors). Hatch Restore lets you personalize a "bedtime routine" for each night to train your brain to recognize sleep cues and get a better night's rest. Options include changing the light settings to more amber tones to help produce melatonin for sleep, soothing noise options, and sleep meditations and sleep stories you can get in the Hatch app. Promising review: "I normally never review products, but I genuinely could not live without my Hatch alarm clock after getting it! My sleep quality has improved so much since I started using it! I listen to pouring rain every single night while falling asleep and I sleep like the dead! Waking up is so much easier with it too, no more waking up frazzled and trying to find the right button to turn off your alarm in the dark! There’s one button for snoozing/turning off your alarm, and I wake up to relaxing music. You’re probably thinking, 'Oh gosh, light, music, or nature sounds aren’t going to wake me up,' because I thought the same thing, but it actually works! I also enjoy going to sleep more now. I set a 'bedtime' on my Hatch and it does a 30-minute countdown, then starts playing whatever sound you want until you’re ready to go to sleep. I use this time to read and it makes me not reach for my phone to doomscroll for hours! I know it’s expensive for an alarm clock but it is so much more than that and truly an investment for your sleep!" —jacob Get it from Amazon for $169.99 (available in three colors). Promising review: "Yes...I have too many clothes. I LOVE my leggings. These saved me soooo much room! Now I have much more space, AND I can see them all easier." —Larry Seymour Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in eight colors). Promising review: "It has doubled my closet space in my apartment where I can’t make any damage in terms of adding another permanent shelf — so this has been a perfect solution. It was easy to assemble and is sturdy. I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now with no issue. Your closet has to be pretty high for this to work or else your shirts above are going to get caught on the hangers below and for my case, some of my shirts are dragging on the floor — just keep this in mind when you’re thinking about purchasing." —Alex Get it from Amazon for $18.97 (available in three colors). Promising review: "This is a beautiful showerhead, very thin, but feels quite sturdy and heavy. Installation took no more than five minutes. The showerhead has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a showerhead?" —Sadda Reddy Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in three sizes and five finishes). Promising review: "Wow. I was miserable at work. I bought everything I could think of to help with the intense foot pain from standing up at work, this was one of the products, and now I can’t go without it! It works. I just ordered another one because I’m low on mine. I use it every night and hour before clocking in at work and even forget how my feet used to hurt until I get home and I’m like 'wait a second, my feet didn’t hurt.' I’m not kidding when I say this is It! Amazing product!" —Amazon Customer It's super quick to install, and one cartridge can last up to three months! Promising review: "This is an excellent invention for keeping the toliet bowl fresh without a tablet that harms the flush seal. I was frequently replacing the seals in the tank but with this setup the seals last and last." —Awesome Guy Check out a TikTok of the popcorn maker in action. Promising review: "This little popcorn popper is perfect! No fuss, no mess, no chasing popcorn kernels!! Fabulous! Easy to use — the popcorn maker part fits into the bowl part for easy storage. This is one perfect unit!" —Chrystal Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "Do you have a stinky garbage disposal? If so, get some of these. They are cheap, smell nice. And the foaming action really provides you with a visual they are cleaning the drain. After using these the garbage disposal seems smoother (fewer strange noises, like it's been lubricated). I'd recommend these over Plinks any day as I feel the Plinks only hide smells whereas these foaming packets actually clean the disposal."—Sugacookie Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.69. Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once the drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature! Promising review: "Got this for my husband. We like to drink our coffee in bed in the morning while we check email/news, etc. He would complain coffee doesn’t stay hot. Well, this coffee warmer is great. Husband loves it. One morning I hadn’t finished my coffee and it was cold, so I gave the warmer a try. Warmed it up to perfect temperature and didn’t alter the taste. I will probably get one for myself. Great product. Does what it says. Like that different temps light up & that it flashes red with no cup but when still hot and off course the auto off. Definitely would recommend." —Diane Mc Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in 11 styles). One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye. The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty. Promising review: "EXCUSE ME?! Why did I snooze so long on these liner stamps?! If you’re a lazy lady like me and appreciate things that make looking fabulous so much quicker, definitely get this! I got the duo with right and left wing and pen liner. All I can say is they are phenomenal! I often spend too much time trying to get perfect wings. Dries pretty quickly and doesn’t smudge when I touch it. It’s perfectly thick and doesn’t seem to need more than one coat." —Kay Leahy Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three sizes and a combo pack). 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 golden doodle who is prissy about her paws, and a standard Labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking into the camper was ridiculous. 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 $14.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). *I asked myself the question, "What would happen if I just called Therabreath up?" And then I verified with a brand representative that this toothpaste's pH is 7.5–8, which is alkaline enough to effectively clean teeth without harming enamel. Who says shopping writers aren't also investigative journalists? Always be sure to check with your dentist to make sure you are using the right toothpaste for you, though. Tragically, the one part of my beauty routine that I neglected as a teenager was maintaining the health and aesthetics of my (formerly) not-so-pearly whites. As an adult, I'm paying the hefty price — cavity fillings, root canals, crowns, and implants galore (do not be like me, me and my wallet are both begging you). I seriously am not sure that I have a single tooth in my mouth without some sort of restorative treatment. As a result of that, I have super fragile, sensitive teeth that I need to be *extra gentle* with...and that means staying away from harsh whitening toothpastes. And that's super hard, because I want white teeth! Luckily, this "deep clean" is enough to scrub the stains away without causing pain. No stinging, no sensitivity, and it still leaves my teeth looking about a shade whiter after consistent use. It obviously cannot undo the damage that is already there, but it's helped my teeth feel much cleaner, and helped banish my inflamed gums. A tip I got from my dentist that's REALLY helped? In addition to brushing and flossing, I put a tiny bit of this toothpaste on an expandable floss (like Cocofloss) and scrub in-between my tightly crowded areas that my toothbrush can't reach. It's like magic if you're prone to cavities in those spots. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.94. Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in larger packs and a larger size for square-shaped drains). Clean Skin Club is a US-based small business specializing in hygienic, vegan, and cruelty-free skincare products. Promising review: "I absolutely love these. I saw these on TikTok and bought them. I will be buying more. They are great for my face. Really soft and VERY durable and strong, even when wet. You can wash your face [with it] or just dry your face, either way, it’s the best option." —Sahara Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $17.95. Read more about aromatherapy and stress/tension at Johns Hopkins. Basic Vigor is a US-based small business specializing in all-natural migraine relief products. Promising review: "I’ve had migraines all my life — I’m 31 now. I’ve been on all kinds of prescriptions that work, but make me so sleepy... I’ve been using this stick for one week now, and it’s amazing! I rubbed it on at the first hint of a headache/migraine and it takes care of it fast. I haven’t taken a prescription migraine since I started using it." —Amanda Braswell Read BuzzFeed's review of the migraine stick for more deets! IceBeanie is a small business that specializes in cold therapy products. Read more about how temperature therapy can help with migraine prevention at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews but this thing is literally a game changer. Amazing quality, so comfortable to wear, and it really helps me to relax and also when I have a headache. This is top shelf. I am so happy with my purchase!" —Bonnie Boughton Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors). Promising review: "We bought this lamp for the party, and the guests loved how just one lamp can change the mood of the room. There are preset colors to choose from, and everything was very easy to set up. A lamp can be used anywhere to set the mood you are looking for. It is pretty sturdy and should last for a while. We love this product!" —Daniel Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available in an "upgraded" version and a basic, one-mode version). It has three warmth levels, a built-in night-light, and a gentle-close seat and lid. Promising review: "We live in a very cold area where overnight temperatures are actually below-freezing in the wintertime. This thing takes the fear out of sitting on a cold toilet seat on a cold winter day. This seat is really warm, even on the lowest setting." —U.M. Promising review: "I rarely ding my nails, but did recently just as I was leaving the salon. I carry this with me in my manicure bag and it works perfectly. My manicurist was amazed! Highly recommend." —ZLIONNE Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F. Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a six pack for $32.99). I'm not kidding — this stuff is wildly effective. For months, my boyfriend had a lot of impacted earwax to the point where he would have to turn his "good ear" to me when we were having a conversation. After a particularly bad hearing day, I picked up this kit and immediately got to work. After consistent use of the drops, it took about six rounds of gentle irrigation over the course of three days for a MONSTER of an earwax glob to fall out. Y'all, when the big one came out, he had to steady himself because the pressure alleviation and complete relief was that intense. He described it as a complete "rebirth." The next day he even asked if the AC was supposed to be that loud. 😭 We will never be without this in our medicine cabinet again. Promising review: "I had to review this product right away after dislodging two HUGE balls of wax from my son’s ears. We used the drops three times over the course of two days, and right after the third application, decided to try flushing the ear out with the bulb. I used warm water and gave a few really good squirts, and lo and behold — a huge ball of wax popped out! I couldn’t believe my eyes, and I couldn’t believe how much wax was in his ears!! The other ear had an even bigger ball of wax. It was sooooo gross, but so satisfying to see it cleared out. He joked that he feels lighter. I hardly ever leave reviews, but I feel passionate about Debrox! I will preach of its powers to all that will listen!" —Rollsy Promising review: "These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from bleeding. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and looking like new — not that old washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars. Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like wearing new clothes all the time." —Nikita Promising review: "I don't normally review products, but OH MY GOSH. These are awesome! I live a distance from town, so I combine several trips to the grocery store into fewer stops. This increases the number and weight of the bags I have to carry. This product helps to double the amount of bags I can carry to the car, and the heavy plastic bags are NOT cutting into my hands. I have three of these, so I can carry one in each hand AND put one on my shoulder. They also help in carrying the reusable shopping bags, but I have found that some of the straps can be too long, and I am short in stature, so they end up dragging on the ground. I love this product so much that I have purchased them for family members, and they have fallen in love with them as well." —Bridgett Hartwig Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six colors). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Bek O'Connell says, "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 is easy to clean. Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable." —Jessica Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two colors). Promising review: "I use this for everything from cleaning my car’s dashboard to getting dog hair off the interior walls of my washing machine. I seriously don’t know how I ever lived without this thing. I do know, though, I never will again… I’ll be buying these for as long as I’m on the right side of the grass. I love it." —Granny M Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three lengths). Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb dot com. You just spray it on your clothes, smooth out the clothes with your hands quickly, wait a few minutes and the clothes are wrinkle-free! I hate ironing, so this is magic. Obviously, it won't work on hard creases but wrinkles from the dryer, for example, it will get rid of." —J. Larsen Promising review: "Love this. I bought the 20-pack. I love clothes, and I’m a neat freak without a lot of closet space. Now, I can store my shirts and camis on my closet shelves and can see and access each one individually. Wish they were more affordable, or I’d buy even more!" —Wendy I. Smith Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes, small and regular).
