31 Excellent Products That Honestly Each Deserve A TrophyGet ready to make a “product of the month” plaque.
1. A roll of peel and stick fake marble to jazz up all your dull surfaces.
Promising review: “Used a little more than one roll for a quick makeover for an ugly fireplace in a rental apartment. It was easy to cover the tiles with the film, and I could stretch the film out about 1 mm if I had cut the strip too short. It makes a huge difference for minimal effort/price. I don’t think anyone would be squinting down at the floor to notice the slightly pixelated pattern.” âzhen

Promising review: “Dewy and glowy. I tried it over makeup and it appeared as a strong pink shade but settled to a flushed, glowy color. I had my little sister try it too because I wanted to see the color change again and it lasted a really long time on her. The texture was smooth and it was easy to rub in and blend out.” âSummer

5. An eyeliner with a wing-shaped stamp so you can just stamp on your cat’s eye liner and go. No more erasing and retrying one million times!
You get two dual-sided pens: one each with the left and right wings. The other sides have straight eyeliner.
Promising review: “I’ve tried the taping method, tried normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, all of it! So when I saw this I thought, meh, why not give it a shot… It’s not like my hopes were high since nothing else has been efficient or worked as it should. But to my surprise I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect aside from needing to connect it to my current liner. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye…again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES…LET ALONE THE 2 MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There was no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean crisp line.” âLadyMeow

Here’s what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness free.
Promising review: “WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn’t realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I’d just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn’t know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!” âVadersGirl

8.
Dieux’s deliciously buttery Instant Angel moisturizer for parched skin in desperate need of a hit of moisture. Despite being super rich, it’s lightweight and non-greasy.
Dieux
After seeing this all over TikTok, I relented and tried it â I’m so glad I did! My skin looks dewier and softer after just a couple weeks of use. It’s fragrance-free (a win for sensitive skin) but still smells really good. Like earthy birthday cake, if that makes sense.Â

Promising review: “I have deck rail flower boxes and they get full sun most of the day. I filled in the drain holes to hold more water and added these to the soil. Both made a huge difference in the quality of life for the plants. They were and still are gorgeous even if I couldn’t water every day. I do have to admit I used more per planter than the recommended amount.” âPattijwr

Promising review: “This really is the best ice tray I’ve ever had. The silicone flap on the top sort of grips onto the tray and keeps the water from splashing out of the ice compartments which makes it easy to walk with and throw in the freezer, and it freezes perfectly even if it’s not level. The shape of the ice compartments makes it easy to push them out. Very good quality.” âAmazon Customer

13. A shoe stretcher so you can avoid the horrible breaking-in period and go straight to enjoying your new loafers, no bandages needed.Promising review: “Iâm an adult with a tiny foot.

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $20.99Â (available in sizes SâL and in four colors).

Promising review: “I have a pair of black leather flats that stank so badly my husband would yell at me if I took them off anywhere near him. But I love the shoes! So I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. Mini Moso was the answer. I honestly couldnât believe it. A few days after placing them in my prized off shoes, I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer. Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe thatâs pushing things, but Iâve got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone. So happy!” âErin

Promising review: “Lo and behold! I completely cleaned the window sills, the window shades, the baseboards, the walls and the carpeting! You cannot even tell it happened. No stains or color change to the carpet or the walls or the white painted surfaces. Before you try or use anything, buy this. It cannot be beat! I was afraid I might have to hire a professional to clean the carpet and that I might have to completely repaint walls, but no.” âSharon Hamilton
Get it from Amazon for $11.85.
16. A pack of anti-slip glasses sleeves, because pushing your glasses back up your nose stops being cute after the millionth time you have to do it.Amazon
Promising review: “Both my husband with metal frames and my mother with plastic frames love these! My husband had a spot on his glasses with some numbers engraved that irritated the top of his ear. We thought this product would solve that problem and it did along with the slipping down his nose. They were instantly comfortable to wear. I decided to try them on my mother’s glasses for the slipping problem and she was thrilled, too. No problems with catching on hair for either. Great idea that works!” âNancy A.

Promising review: “These blind cleaners are terrific! I’ve enjoyed cleaning houses and offices professionally for over 20 years and cleaning blinds is not always easy. I debated and debated what to buy, to try to make the process a bit easier. Within five minutes of using this, I was almost doing cartwheels â it really works! Best product I have ever used to clean blinds. My first time using it, I had eight different large blinds to clean, with skinny slats to boot, and this duster brush with refills DID THE JOB BEAUTIFULLY.

No paper towels wasted and it’s immediate. Plus these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item. My last pair did not have this detachable mopping bottom.

amazon.com
Promising review: “Just used this product on a recent trip to Florida. I made sure to wash my skin before application and it lasted about two days on my skin without coming off. When out of the sun or behind UV glass, like in a car, the spot turns clear. As soon as you step into the sun it turns purple. If you use sunblock it starts to become clear or semi-clear. After being on the beach and having gone into the water a few times the spot started seeing purple and I applied sunblock again. In a minute the spot was clear again. So this is very effective In alerting me when to reapply.” âRGTorque
