“Excuse me have you heard of this?” –you about these products every day now.

1.

A fabric shaver to help you get rid of annoying lint and fuzzies on your favorite sweaters, blankets, and even upholstery because you don’t want to look like a walking mothball.

Walmart

Promising review: “Some of my work pants had gotten pills on just one side of them from a purse I ended up not liking, and this saved me from having to replace four pairs of pants. Definitely worth the money!” —Peyton

Price: $14.99 (originally $18.99)

2.

A featherweight Bissell stick vacuum because traditional vacuums are way too bulky to conveniently take out of the closet and actually use, so you just end up never vacuuming. I have one of these for my little studio apartment and trust me when I say he is tiny but mighty.

Walmart

Promising review: “Out with the old, in the new! This is my second stick vacuum. Wore the first one out. With three dogs, on a farm, all hardwood floors in the house, I use this every day! Love it! So light, with lots of power, makes cleaning a breeze.” —Terry 

Price: $33.99

A FlossAction electric toothbrush so you can keep your pearly whites in tip-top shape and hopefully avoid hefty dentist fees down the road. This is coming from a gal who recently had TWO root canals, so please learn from my mistakes. TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH, PEOPLE.

Walmart

Promising review: “Works better than I can remember, and have replaced my original brand with this one (it’s been many years). The vibration and workings are far superior than the one I just threw away. What a great product, expect to just keep replacing it as needed, never changing to another brand or style.” —Shorty

Price: $19.97 (available in three colors)

4.

A tube of multi-use concealer that conceals dark circles while resisting creases for *up to 12 hours*.

After one tube of treatments, we can see healthy pink nail starting to grow where once was that thick icky fungus-infected toenail. I highly recommend it!” —Swva 

Price: $19.86

An Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette that will last you a literal lifetime. I’ve had mine for four years now, and she’s STILL serving bold, pigmented realness! And it’s on sale right now, so I’d snag her quick!

A Wet Brush to help get out even the most stubborn tangles and prevent breakage after you get out of the shower. I’ve been using one of these since I was 10, and I literally refuse to brush my hair with anything else when it’s wet.

Walmart

Price: $30

A bottle of oil-free sunscreen from Differin, so you can keep your skin looking its best at every stage of life and help protect your face from harmful UV rays.

instagram.com / Via @differinus

Promising review: “The ONLY SPF for my rosacea/acne-prone skin! Finally, the IDEAL daily sunscreen! I’m one of those unlucky ladies in her late 30s with sensitive, rosacea skin that also happens to be oily and acne-prone. Literally, every other moisturizer/sunscreen combo I’ve tried (even those labeled for sensitive skin) has either left my face red and irritated or super oily and broken out. And it didn’t matter if the sunscreen ingredients were chemical or mineral-based — my face just didn’t like any products with sunscreen. But by some miracle, I can actually use this Differin SPF moisturizer every day, year round, with ZERO negative effects — not even with my rosacea. It leaves me well-moisturized (but not too oily), breakout-free, and protected from the sun without any creepy white cast. Please, Differin, don’t ever discontinue or change this product; it’s taken me YEARS to find something like this that works.” —Lindsay

Price: $11.96

14.

A wall-mounted mail and key organizer with five hooks for keys, masks, and other assorted hanging must-haves, plus three compartments to keep mail, magazines, or important documents you need to remember to take with you when you’re on your way out the door.

Walmart

Promising review: “ Great organizer! I use it for keys, outgoing mail, coupons and ‘notes to self’ as I head out the door. It is well-made and attractive. And it even arrived sooner than expected.” —Cuppacoffee

Price: $8.84+ (available in two styles)

15.

A Squatty Potty that will quickly become your most prized possession. I have one of these, and I personally think everyone should have one to speed things up in the bathroom.

Walmart

Promising review: “My husband laughed at me about the Squatty Potty until he tried it and discovered it really does help going. Now, every time we see the commercial, we are reminded that this may look different, but this really helps to go. Definitely worth having and easy to store away on its side or against the toilet.” —lauralig

Price: $25.99

16.

An exfoliating “Showertok” famous watermelon shea scrub that not only smells like sun-ripened fresh fruit, but is also made with skin-loving ingredients like kiwi seeds, avocado, and evening primrose to help scrub away grime, dead skin, and existential dread.

Walmart

Promising review: “Love the smell and great exfoliator.” —MB

Price: $7.94

17.

A one-touch electric tea kettle from Drew Barrymore’s kitchen line that’s so strikingly beautiful *and* useful, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Boil up to seven cups of hot water in under seven minutes and get ready for teatime, instant ramen, or oatmeal on the quick!

Walmart

Promising review: “Purchased this kettle to make my morning tea, and I am really impressed. First of all, I love that it has a touch screen and has different options to choose from (i.e. green tea, oolong, etc.). It also displays the temperature and shows the progress as it is heating up during the cycle. Three beeps tell you when it is ready. I also love the fact that it is stainless steel on the inside and not plastic. It’s very nice looking with the gold handle. It is larger than I thought it would be, but it’s not heavy. I’m very happy about this purchase and would definitely recommend this kettle.” —Lisa

Price: $29.97+ (available in six colors)

18.

A skin cream that is it fragrance-free, long-lasting, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly, so it’s great for even people with the most sensitive, acne-prone skin (like me).

instagram.com / Via @officialvanicream

Promising review: “OMG, this has saved my life. My dermatologist recommended it, and I’m so grateful. Finally, a moisturizing cream that does its job without causing burning, itching, rashes, or no benefit at all. Only six ingredients which are heaven to my sensitive skin.” —Sharon

Price: $13.43 (originally $14.99)

19.

A slab of “the world’s best” pumice stone so you can ~very~ satisfyingly get rid of all that dry, cracked dead skin on your poor, worn-out feet and toes. They deserve the utmost care, of course, so why not use the “world’s best”?

Walmart

Promising review: “This thing is magic and gave me really soft feet. My feet were so soft, I almost slipped in the shower. Would definitely buy again.” —Ssmith

Price: $4.97

20.

A pack of makeup remover wipes if you’re in your mid-to-late 20s and passing out in your makeup after a night on the town is no longer acceptable (sorry, but you’re not in college anymore).

Walmart

Promising review: “One of my favorite products to have on hand. I love the option to buy in a two-pack. I also love the cost! These wipes are perfect in that they are fully moist enough to wash away all makeup without drying out before you have to grab another one. The fragrance is pleasant. My face doesn’t feel sticky after use. I have sensitive skin and never have any reactions after using them.” —LadyHawk21

Price: $5.97 for two packs of 40 wipes

21.

A L’Oréal Paris liquid foundation if you’re looking for full coverage heavy caking or streaking and want to cut down on shine.

Walmart

Promising review: “I bought the liquid version of this first because this was the newest TikTok trend of the time, and let me tell you what…the powder is the way to go. The liquid felt heavy; whereas, the powder felt like I had nothing on. Which I love in a foundation especially being an oily-faced girl, I don’t want to add any weight to my face. It blended gorgeously with a foundation brush and had enough coverage for an everyday look!” —Cassidi

Price: $10.59+ (available in 20 shades)

22.

A Milani mattifying primer so you can have a solid base to put your makeup on. Primer is truly the unsung hero of the beauty game, and can really transform your look from “eh” to “eh-mazing!”

instagram.com / Via @milanicosmetics

Promising review: “This primer gives my makeup the endurance it needs to stay fresh all day.” —LucysMum

Price: $10.97

23.

A wireless LED light bar because you can’t really have lamps in the kitchen but still need to see what you’re doing to avoid any accidents while you cut veggies. Plus, it’s super easy to install!

Walmart

Promising review: “I really love this light, also I’m impressed how this works. In the description says you need 6 batteries to work but if you only put 3 the light turn on less brightness but work. Also the controls makes more easy the way you can on/off the light without need to be exactly in the place !! I used the light for the bathroom because my girls can go in the night without me, they always wake me up to go and turn the light on for them, but with this one I keep on bed and I just turn on with the control… I’m in love and I order more for the kitchen too.” —Melida

Price: $10.46

24.

A cult-fave, Neutrogena gel moisturizer that’s kind of like a serum-lotion hybrid to treat yourself to some skin-loving moisture without feeling too greasy while you’re on the go.

Walmart

Promising review: “Leaves my skin so soft and doesn’t make me break out.” —Jill

Price: $16.54 (originally $19.97)

25.

A Scrub Daddy sponge that becomes harder in cold water for tough scrubbing and softer in warm water for light cleaning. And all you need to do to sanitize him is pop him in the microwave! Easy peasy spongey squeezy!

Walmart

Promising review: “I love that this scrubber is so firm in cooler water and holds up well cleaning tough burnt bits off pans, but at the same time does not scratch at all. It cleans pans well, is easy to keep clean, and does NOT disintegrate into bits after a couple uses.” —Justyne

Price: $3.88 

26.

A Nest-compatible smart lock if you’re over the lock in your front door getting jammed all the time. Not to mention, it’s the hugest pain when it’s freezing out and you’re just trying to get inside to the warmth ASAP.

Walmart

27.

A bottle of Downy’s powerful wrinkle release spray, that can make even the most crumpled-up shirt you balled up in your luggage or in the back of your closet look like it’s fresh from the dry cleaner.

Walmart

Promising review: “I cannot live without this product. It actually works. If I wear something for a short period of time and it gets wrinkled but not dirty, this is a lifesaver. I simply leave the item on a hanger, spray with Downy Wrinkle Release, brush the wrinkles out with my hand, hang it up to dry, and it’s good to go again. ” —Sharon

Price: $9.99

28.

And finally, a Swiffer extendable-handle dusting kit for all those hard-to-reach spots that need some TLC. No more climbing up on chairs or down on the ground when you are dusting and risking a nasty fall!
